I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.
I am trying to put my iPhone4 into recovery and then will restore it. iTunes starts extracting the software. But the iPhone reboots and by the time the software has completed extraction, the iPhone can no longer be seen by iTunes.
We have a very small hard drive on our laptop. Each time iTunes does an extraction, it uses up more space on the C: drive.
Nothing frees up that used drive space. Not closing iTunes or rebooting the computer. Nothing.
How do we release / delete these files?

Any way to change the location where itunes stores the backup files?

I am running low on my C: drive in XP. Any way to change the location where itunes stores the backups of my various devices?

i am currently in the same situation. i purchased an external hard drive and set itunes to save to it in the preferences, and this worked, but only for new additions. all of my current music still plays from my mac HD and not the external. i am assuming i will need to re-add every song. the only plus is that when i transferred my songs to the external, it saved my settings. hopefully it saves the play counts.

How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

Was there a change to the location where iTunes copies media with the "Keep media folder organized" option selected?

iTunes was copying my media to for example:
\volume\iTunes\Music\Artist\Album\tracks.mp3
\volume\iTunes\Movies\Movie\movie.mp4
\volume\iTunes\TV Shows\TV Show\Season\episode.mp4
I believe after the update it started to copy and move files to different locations:
\volume\iTunes\Artist\Album\tracks.mp3
\volume\iTunes\Movies\movie.mp4
\volume\iTunes\TV Shows\TV Show\episode.mp4
Music is no longer being copied to the Music folder, it's being copied or moved to the root of where I have my iTunes directory defined. Has anyone seen this change happen to them?

Actually to get it to run through your library as it now exists I think the consolidate command is still around (I don't have itunes 10).

How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

Can I specify the location where iTunes places ripped mp3's?

I would like to use iTunes to rip my CD's.
However:
1. I keep my music at a different location (directory tree arranged by genre, artist, albums etc) than the iTunes library. I manage the music library myself.
2. I edit the MP3 tags outside of iTunes (using MP3TAG software).
So, can I
1. tell iTunes the directory where to place the ripped mp3's and
2. prevent iTunes from automatically integrating the rips into its library. I will import the mp3's into iTunes when I an good and ready.

Not really. iTunes places rips at *<iTunes Media Folder>\(Music\)<Album Artist|Artist>\<Album>\## <Track>.<ext>*. You can change the location of your *<iTunes Media Folder>* but that's it. The optional Music\ bit depends on whether you're using the new *iTunes Media Organsiation*.
2. prevent iTunes from automatically integrating the rips into its library. I will import the mp3's into iTunes when I an good and ready.
Nope. iTunes add files to the library as part of any import, rip or play operattion.
For what it's worth I keep my library organised manually, but why use MP3Tag to edit data that can just as easily be editied inside iTunes? After I rip an album or purchase from iTunes/Amazon I use iTunes to amend the details so that the album will be properly organised (see tips at http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp) and then use MediaMonkey to reorganise the files & folders to my style. I then simply delete & reimport the album.

What do I need to do to have my iTunes run on any operating system from my external hard drive?

I've already moved everything from my computer to my external hard drive, but for some reason I'm having a hard time being able to open the iTunes program every time I'm trying to open it on a different computer. I'm having to continuously uninstall and reinstall to be able to use it. I use my computer at home mostly but i also use my friends computer, and sometimes computers at school. Are there any files or anything that would enable be to be able to use it on any operating system or how can I get it working?

You need to run the install file on the computer fresh as though you were installing itunes to the computer for the first time. Direct the installation to occur on your portable drive instead of in the typical destination folder (In the case of windows)
No, no, no... that is extremely bad advice.
Programs get installed on the main drive of the computer. Never install a program on a removable drive unless that program has been specificially designed to run on a removable drive.
Install iTunes on the computer as you normally would.
Once installed, hold SHIFT and launch iTunes.
When prompted select the option to point iTunes to an existed library.
Then point iTunes to the external drive.
Anytime you want to access the drive on a new computer, launch iTunes in the same fashion pointing it to the external drive.

Does any know what is the name of the folder where iTunes saves the iCloud cache like the songs being played, etc.?

Does any know what is the name of the folder where iTunes saves the iCloud cache like the songs being played, etc.?

Checked:
when you add a song to iTunes, that song is copied to the itunes library folder (on your external drive) with all your other songs, so they are all in the same place, on that drive. you can then delete the song you added to itunes from wherever you added it, because it has been copied to the itunes folder.
Unchecked:
the song is not copied to the itunes folder on the external drive. this means that once you add it to itunes, you must keep the song wherever you added it from, because itunes only remembers where it is located, and does not keep a copy in the itunes folder. moving this file will make the song unplayable in itunes.

Need to know the sqluery to find the disabled date from OIM 9.1.0.1

Hi Experts,
Need very urgent inputs from you all for the preparation of our audit.
We are using OIM9.1.0.1
We need to know the sqlquery for finding the Disabled date in OIM given the user ids, as currently we are unable to get the exact data from Historical Reports Option in OIM.
I need to give in this format:
select usr_login, usr_disabled from schemaname.tablename where usr_login in
('aaa','bbb'..... etc)
We have three attributes :USR_DISABLED_BY_PARENT,USR_DISABLED,USR_DEPROVISIONING_DATE,but none of them give the exact date,
USR_DISABLED gives just a flag as 1 or 0.
Also there are no other fields in the corresponding usr table.
So how to fetch the exact Disabled date from OIM system when I input the user ids.
Your immediate response is appreciated.
Thanks
SS

In the entire thread many experts have given nice queries in different formats...
The best approach would be to open up the SQL Developer, connect with the OIM Database and experiment with all sorts of SQL queries provided by all the experts..
Learn some SQL techniques, like Inner Join etc...
Then you yourself will be able to figure out what you need, in exactly which format, for which users and for whom you have to restrict
Then not only this question, you would be able to solve dozens of similar such issues yourself...
And trust me, nothing can match that...
Just in case, you are not familiar with SQL Developer,

The Disabled DATE will be the creation date of that entry in the UPA_FIELDS table when Users.Status changed to Disabled.
SELECT USR.USR_LOGIN, UPA_FIELDS.CREATE_DATE
FROM UPA_FIELDS
WHERE UPA_FIELDS.FIELD_NAME='Users.Status'
AND UPA_FIELDS.FIELD_NEW_VALUE='Disabled'
AND UPA_FIELDS.UPA_USR_KEY=USR.USR_KEY
AND USR.USR_LOGIN NOT IN ('XELSYSADM', 'XELOPERATOR', 'WEBLOGIC');

I need to know the right tools and java technology

Please help,I need to know the right tools and java technology to support what I need.
I had background programming in Assembly,C++,Visual Basic,SAP/ABAP 4.
All I can say, programming is about logic, now we are very helped building program using objects.
I'm very interest to SAP tech, where all screens, programs, reports are resides on tables, this is the real dynamic!
CUrrently I'm eager to do the same technic with java. I'm new to java....
What I know the J2EE is the core for me to start is it right? I was very interest with the Client-Server Tech. How can I impelemet this with Java?
I'm a bit confuse with so many java solutions. There is Java Applets, Swing, Java AWT, JavaBeans, etc...
I don't know what is the best if I want my Presentation/Client Application will run within browser (not standard html, using like windows gui). What should I do to make business logic objects, how to invoke it within the gui. how to make installation package whenever clients connect to the http server.
if you have a pointer to do it please let me know.... I'm very appreciate all your response...
Best regards,
Lucky Pangemanan

I'd say - don't get carried away with the heavyweight frameworks. Don't use EJB if Hibernate and/or Tomcat will do the job. There's a danger of winding up using a bulldozer to crack a wallnut.
What people mean by "J2EE" varies a fair bit.
Start with Tomcat, which has the virtue of being free. Try some JSPs and servlets.
Use Applets to do client side presentation only if you must; Applets create an installation overhead on end-users, and some of them can't cope, while others may not have the necessary installation permissions on their office machines. They are pretty rarely needed, IMNSHO, most client-side behaviour is better handled with html and JavaScript.

Need to know the path of current Form/Report

Hi All,
I need to know the path of the Current Report/Form, but i dont want to use
get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name),
is their any other way for getting the current path from where the report/form is running
Imran Ahmed

Hi,
I dont want to use
get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name)
because it give me the current directory with the form name for eg. (c:\dev6i\temp\abc.fmx) then i have to use
cur_file_name := get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name);
total_length := length(cur_file_name);
cur_form_name_length := length(get_form_property(:system.current_form,form_name))+4;
path_length := total_length-cur_form_name_length;
cur_path:= substr(cur_file_name,1,path_length);
to get the actual path, and i dont find any function name GET_WORKING_DIRECTORY under WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT theie is get_windows_director and get_temp_directory but not the above, if you have that function then please mail me on [email protected] I also cannot use read_registry(forms_path) because in registry i have different paths.
Thank You
