Info.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist, Status.plist files are missing in backup folder

I restored my iphone 5 to the default setting.
Before restoring, I backed up the data in iphone but backup files have been corrupted.
I found that Info.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist, Status.plist files are missing in the folder where the back up files are located.
(C:\user\user name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup)
I copied these files from another backup in the folder of the corrupted backup, but it did not work on either itunes or third party software.
I even opened each of 4 files and modified the date, but still does not work.
I know I can change extension of each file in the corrupted backup folder, but there are more than 8000 files in that folder.
Is there any way to create the 4 files for the corrupted backup file?

I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer. they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info. I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

Help! No info.plist, manifest.plist, or status.plist on Iphone backup...data can not be recovered

I'm at a lost here, I created a backup of my iphone before I updated my firmware. When I went to go restore from backup, I noticed it did not backup completely. I checked the 'C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup' and noticed that the folder that carries my backup does not have the info.plist, manifest.plist, or status.plist files?? All the data seems to be intact, just no way to extract it. I already tried to use iPhone Backup Extractor, did not work. Somebody please help me out, I don't want to be out of luck. I'm missing all my past important SMS history, curcial Notes and emails.
Thanks ahead of time,

If your backup is corrupted you cannot retrieve data from it.
I've been working on a tool that repairs most iPhone (iPad, iPod Touch) backups that iTunes reports as corrupted -- it seems to be working fairly well for people we've had using it lately! If someone stumbles on this post and wants to try it out, the program is Decipher Backup Repair, and you can try it here:
http://deciphertools.com/download-decipher-backup-repair.html
As other people in the thread have mentioned, you can also try some third-party programs to read the backup and pull-out the important data so you at least have it in some capacity. We have one on the website I've linked above, in addition to the repair software.
I hope this helps someone who finds this thread! Dealing with iTunes backups can be really painful, and I know it's horribly depressing to wait through a restore to get the corrupted message after SEVERAL minutes.
(Note: As I mentioned, I work on the backup fixing software I linked to, so I stand to benefit, financially or otherwise, from the links I've provided.)

Com.apple.safari.plist missing in preferences folder

Hey everybody,
my safari has become unusably slow. I checked for solutions and found out I should delete the com.apple.safari.plist. So I browsed my preferences folder in the library for the file and could not find it. I checked my whole Library for any Safari related file and there was none.
Has anyone an explanation for this? I already reinstalled the OS which didn't change a thing.
I hope anybody can help me please
I am using a mid 2012 rmbp with 8gb ram, which has become a little laggy in general since the yosemite in update

Unfortunately, deleting the com.apple.safari.plist didn't solve my original problem. Safari is still so superslow sometimes. And then its fast again. But Chrome is always faster and immediately responding. I've run a test with Etresoft:

Messages app no longer works; plists or chat.db are missing

The reason this happened is that well... I sent a really really really long message and it crashed my messages app. So I figured I would try to delete the chat.db file in /Library/Messages but... there was no file there. Then I checked for the plist files in /Library/Preferences/Apple and the plists for messages were all missing. This is the only way I am aware of to solve the problem but these files are clearly gone! I figured maybe they were hidden for some reason so I used a terminal command to show all hidden files, which seemed to work but the files in question were still missing. Am I missing something? Is there another way to fix messages without these files? Should I find replacements for them?
NOTE:
I have also just tried looking in ~/Library/Containers/Data/Library/Messages/Archive but I don't even have a Containers folder in Library...

I think you are probably looking in your system library rather than the user library.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you aren't sure of the difference, I'm not sure you should be playing around in there without specific instruction.

IOS preferences plist file is missing

I've successfully defined my applications settings dialogs in my app as I can see them in the Settings panel. However, when I run the app, the preferences file ${ApplicationID}.plist is missing. I've confirmed this by using Xcode in inspect the data files in the application sandbox (/Library/Preferences) the file is not there.
If change any of the settings in the settings panel, the preferences file is created, but only with the values I changed. The other default values are missing from the file.
Am I overlooking something?

The .plist file you want is in user level not root.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FontBook.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.FontBook.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try Font Book.
If it crashes again, then it's not corrupted Font Book preferences.
See if you can do this before Font Book crashes.
With Font Book open, from the menu bar click Font Book > File > Restore Standard Fonts

I got an error message saying "an error occurred while creating the backup folder". I have tried deleting the plist and am using the latest time capsule software and using OS Lion Any ideas what to do please?

How to reference a set of Flash-protected f4v files in a manifest when the files are on Cloudfront?

I have: a self-created AMS 5.0 running on Amazon.
Using latest OSMF player.
I'm Using EZDRM for Flash Access protection.
I have a dynamic bitrate f4m created with the F4F packager. It contains data for three bitrates.
I know that my S3 bucket and Cloudfront distribution are generally working because I can play a set of non-drm files using a RTMP-style manifest
I am successfully issuing the license and playing the videos using that manifest when the files are located on the AMS itself.
The working call to the manifest is this: http://media.blah.com/vod/BlahBlah/Blah.f4m
I think the relevant portion of the manifest is this:
streamId="Blah-1000"
url="Blah-1000"
bitrate="1000"
bootstrapInfoId="bootstrap4543"
drmAdditionalHeaderId="drmMetadata8495"
I think the correct way to approach this it to leave the manifest on AMS and manually change the url in the manifest for each video file
I've tried changing the url in the manifest to point to the cloudfront location
http://blahblah.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/mp4:Blah
But I simply get back: "We are unable to connect to the content you requested."
Your guidance greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I created a project (JDeveloper) with local xsd-files and tried to delete and recreate them in the structure pane with references to a version on the application server. After reopening the project I deployed it successfully to the bpel server. The process is working fine, but in the structure pane there is no information about any of the xsds anymore and the payload in the variables there is an exception (problem building schema).
How does bpel know where to look for the xsd-files and how does the mapping still work?
This cannot be the way to do it correctly. Do I have a chance to rework an existing project or do I have to rebuild it from scratch in order to have all the references right?
Thanks for any clue.

Hi Larry,
I guess there must an entry missing in the j2ee-components-generator.xml file in your j2ee engine.

Corrupt backup file (.bbb) - missing manifest

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a corrupt backup file. I did a full backup, followed by a factory reset on my Blackberry. After the reset, I wanted to restore some of the data from the backup (contacts, ring profiles, messages, etc). When I try to restore, it says the backup file may be corrupt and won't even let me choose individual databases to try to restore.
I discovered that you can open the .bbb file with programs like WinRAR or 7zip and see the contents. My backup contains a "pkginfo" file and folder full of the databases / .dat files. I ran another backup after the factory reset and compared it to my original backup. The Desktop software would allow me to restore that backup, but it doesn't have any of my data so it's no good to me. I opened that one with WinRAR also and discovered it has a "manifest.xml" file that my first backup doesn't have. The manifest file looks to be an index of what each of the .dat files is associated with. I tried copying that manifest file into my original backup file, but it still didn't work to restore. The number of .dat files are different between the backups and I don't think the index numbers match for even individual files such as my contacts.
Is there any way to recreate the "manifest.xml" that should have been in my first backup? Maybe a program that can read all the .dat files and decipher what they are so the index numbers can be matched up to the correct databases?
Thanks,
Andy

Creating a manifest.mf when generating a jar file.

First post ever using java and its probable really simple. I've basically been chucked in at the deep end of a java app. I've had to reverse engineer it and I'm at the following stage:-
I'm rebuilding the project to create my jar file and I'd like to
1)get a list of all the files of the project within my manifest.mf
2)Digitally sign the files as well, which from what I've read create a *.DSA and *.SF file. The manifest would then have to contain the checksums (SHA1-Digest)
Now I've been playing for a few hours trying to get the manifest to produce the list of files, but with no success all I get is teh default.
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.5.0_12-b04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)Any ideas on what I'm missing.
Thanks for any help it will be greatly appricated by a newb with 0% java experience
(taking me a few days to sort out a Ubuntu server to serve the Java apps, but thats working sweet as :D)

got it all working in the end.
Used the following within the jdk/bin folder
keytool - to create a cert
jar - to create the jar file
jarsigner - to create the manifest and sign the files.
I created a load of bat files to do the job.
Now onto the next problem of compiling the java files into class's

Get Info sees different "Open With" for the same file on different computer

I've got a laptop (17") and a desktop, both with OSX 10.4.3. I had a disk problem with the laptop, but was able to get everything off the disk, reformat it, and put it all back. Everything's been working fine until today, when I tried to use the Equation Editor in Office. It wouldn't work. As I tried to chase down the problem, including reinstalling Office, I realized that my laptop was seeing certain Office files using GetInfo as "Open With" Netscape. I compared this with the settings on the desktop, and they were different. Different applications, different icons, even.
Then I noticed that when I have the CD in the laptop and do GetInfo on a file there, or even look at the icon, it's different from what appears when I look at the same file on the desktop. So it appears to be an OSX issue, not a Microsoft issue.
I've rebuilt permissions several times. I changed the OpenWith settings, but that didn't solve the problem. But I think it's because other Office files are being misread by the OS, too.
If anyone has a diagnosis (and hopefully, a cure), I'd really appreciate it.

Hi, Jim.
You wrote: " I realized that my laptop was seeing certain Office files using GetInfo as "Open With" Netscape."If you are seeing more than just Office documents displaying the incorrect default application, this could indicate a corrupted Launch Services cache or preferences on the affected Mac.
In associating documents with applications, Finder employs Launch Services. Launch Services employs several files to associate documents with applications and vice versa. When these files become corrupted, this can result in problems including:
- The wrong applications being launched when double-clicking a file.
- Multiple copies of a single application appearing in the Open With menu for a given document.
- Incorrect icons appearing on files, folders, or other objects.
The following steps will remove all of the files used by Launch Services. Be sure to read these instructions entirely, including the Notes, before proceeding.
1. Quit all running applications.
2. Trash the following two files in the Computer > Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
- com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
- com.apple.LaunchServices-014xxx.csstore
where xxx is the uid number for the affected account in the NetInfo database. Type your Admin password when prompted to authenticate the deletion of the first file. See Notes [1] and [2].
3. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. See Note [3].
4. Restart your Mac.
5. Log in to your account.
6. Empty the Trash.
Do not empty the Trash until after you have restarted your Mac.
Notes:
[1] Step 2 will result in you being prompted to approve the launch of the application associated with a document the first time you double-click a document. These alerts are a result of the security feature in Mac OS X. The list of applications which you have previously approved are saved in the caches deleted in step 2.
[2] The first user account defined on your Mac is generally uid 501, the second uid 502, and so forth. For example, the second file ID for the first account would becom.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstoreYou can find the uid number for any account as follows:1. Launch NetInfo Manager, which is in the Computer > Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
2. Select users in the middle column of the NetInfo Manager window.
3. Select the desired user account in the right column of NetInfo Manager.
4. The data for the selected user, including uid, is displayed in the lower pane of the NetInfo Manager window.[3] Step 3 will reset to default values all associations you have created between specific file types and applications. For example, if you set PDFs to open in Adobe Acrobat instead of Preview, they would now open in Preview again until the association of PDFs with Acrobat is reset. You may want to skip step 3 to see if the other steps resolve the problem. However, if skipping step 3 does not resolve the problem, running steps 1-6 again, including step 3, should resolve the problem.

Hi,
Yes, you need store data to table, and fetch it when page is opened.
Simple way is create table with few columns and e.g. with CLOB column and then create form based on that table.
Then modify item types as you like, e.g. use HTML editor for CLOB column
