Location manager prefs file?

I just got my powerbook back from a disk crash and am trying to rebuild it.
I have a copy of the drive saved on an external, and Im selectively restoring the stuff that I want.
I would like to be able to recover my location prefs as I have four or five places set up where I regularly use the p/b, but cant find where/how these are stored.
Is there a location prefs file or similar which I can transfer to the rebuilt machine..?
Thanks

If you go to <username>/Library you'll find a Safari folder that you can drag accross and preserve all your Safari settings. The network file you need is in, I think, <harddrive>/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, but I'm not sure on this one. You may also want to drag across the <username>/Library/Application Support folder to preserve settings in many apps.
Hope that helps.

  • Where is Tiger junk mail filter pref file located?

    I apologize for the redundant post...I posted this in the Tiger/Mail forum but haven't gotten a reply.
    I had to reinstall Mail from scratch after I upgraded to Leopard.
    Can anyone tell me where the 10.4 junk mail filter pref file is located so I can try and drag it over to my Leopard install and save me the time of physically replicate the filer file.

    There is no preference file but the file that stores all Junk Mail "learned" settings is the LSMMap2 file located at Home > Library > Mail > LSMMap2.

  • How to manage linked files with multiple designers?

    Hi,
    I work at a small company with multiple designers (5 of us) where 3 of us work remotely. We use dropbox to manage our files so that everyone has access--we keep client files in specific folders and stock media in a shared folder.
    Currently whenever we open a file that's been edited by someone else, we have to go in and individually relink the files. Some would prefer to embed the files, however this can increase filesize by 60-400mb. Our current files total in at around 500gb, so I don't think that's a viable option.
    4 of us are on Macs, 1 on Windows. 1 has CS5, 3 have CS6 and one has CC.
    My question is this:
    If we all have the same path to dropbox (or the same path to the file, either way) will Illustrator be able to automatically find the files?
    Eg. X:/Dropbox/...
    If so, will it work cross platform?
    I know InDesign has a better link management system, is there a good plugin that would help with this?
    I'm going to continue to do my own research and testing, but I thought I'd consult those more knowledgeable than me.
    Thank you!

    Thanks for your response. Currently, dropbox works so that it syncs online but also is stored locally on your hard drive (not like a network drive). So one person could have a different path to the dropbox folder than the other. As for the second part, that would be about the same as embedding it in the file as far as general disk space usage. We use many of the same stock photos in multiple files, so keeping them in the same location reduces the amount of space used. It wouldn't be a huge problem if illustrator used relative paths instead of absolute paths, but alas.
    I was forgetting that Mac OS doesn't use drive letters, so there probably won't be a way for illustrator to read things as the same path cross-platform...
    I'm still wondering if there are any good plug-ins which help find broken links.
    I found this: http://techblog.willshouse.com/2011/01/16/adobe-illustrator-linked-files-fix/ which might be helpful, but I'm wondering if there's a better solution.

  • Open module for managing property file and environment variables

    Looking for an open module for managing property files and environment variables (like CLASSPATH) set in a shell script. For handeling properties (preserving comments, supporting includes, appending new entries, and more) I have looked at SuperProperties from openadaptor but find certain functionality lacking. As for interfacing with common shell scripts/files containing setting for CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, other system/application variables another type of object editor is needed. Maybe JFIG?
    Any ideas are greatly welcomed.

    You seem wright, you hit a brick wall here with Air to find the location
    of the command console on windows...
    So in fact I never build an exe tool, but this little problem was a nice
    case to test it and I tried it.:
    I downloaded monodevelop
    -GTK# for .NET 2.12.10*
    -MonoDevelop 2.4.2*
       from http://monodevelop.com/Download
    created a console project and had an exe in 5 minutes !
    You can download the findconsole tool and the projectfiles here:
       http://greencollective.nl/temp/dump/findconsole_monoproject.zip
    findconsole.exe will reveal the path/location of cmd.exe on a windows system.

  • Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

    Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
    I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
    What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Diappearing photos replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle.  Prior to loading Lion I could put the image number in finder and locate the original file for that photo.  How do I restore photos now?

    I had problems with photos disappearing and being replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle.  I can see the photo in the thumbnail summary but when you click on it, the screen goes black and the exclamation point within a triangle appears along with the info on the original image number (i.e., img_1120.jpg). Prior to loading Lion, I could go to Finder, enter the image number and locate the original file for that photo.  I could then restore it for editing, copying into Print Shop directly, etc.   That no longer works after installing Lion.   How do I restore photos now?  I have 100s of photos that I have been going back to the original files and restoring and I am frantic that I will no longer be able to get to the original files.  Please help!  Thanks

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Restore Password Manager .pwd File from Backup Image after HDD crash

    Hi
    After a HDD crash i try to recover my Password Manager pwd File from a Backup Image. In the Image the file is located in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\XXX\Anwendungsdaten\Lenovo\Client Security Solution"
    But if i try to import it the PW-Manager asks for a Password. But no PW works. Not the Windows PW (same as before) or not the Sec-Chip PW works. I tryed to copy the pwd File into the same folder but it´s not recordniced from the PW Manager.
    Can somebody help me please to get my Passwords back?
    thanks
    Coolskin

    Hi,
    that saved passwords were stored also in TPM chip, so if Password maanger can not find them there , what is obvious, then I dont think, that this will work.
    However it would be a test to install CSS withtou TPM recognision. Uninstall CSS and install CSS with EMULATIONMODE =1, this will install CSS in software emulation mode and do not need to contact with hardware TPM.
    To be honest I never tried this scenario, but in if I would be in your situation, then I would test it just to see.
    However I don't give it a big chance, that this will work.
    Sorry for bad news

  • How do you remove pref file to perform clean install on Firefox for android?

    Uninstallling Firefox on android does not remove the pref file thus does not allow clean install. I have also been unable to find any way to reset everything to default. Both Firefox and beta do nothing but crash and will not even load a full web page. Factory reset device LG g pad 7.0 lte. V410 android 4.4.2. Also does not help.

    Its under system root\data\data\org.mozilla.firefox(beta)\files\mozilla\ here you will see the profile folder xxxx.default. This is where its located. If you want a true clean install, uninstall Firefox then delete the org.mozilla.firefox. Then reinstall.

  • Location of .ste files on Mac OSX 10.5.6

    I replaced my hard drive, and had some isses with the way my Adobe apps loaded. I cleaned out the Web Premium CS3 files and reloaded CS3.
    I have backup files of my startup volume, but don't know where to look for the SITE DEFINITION FILES (.ste).
    I have all of the SiteCache files which were separately protected and saved on an auxiliary drive, but I have been trying to recreate my SITE MANAGEMENT PROFILES for two days now, without success.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Vincent Ferri

    You can't do that. You either need to Import the sites from the .ste files that you originally exported, or if you didn't export the .ste files, you need to replace the Site Prefs file on your new installation with the one recovered from the hard disk backup.
    If you didn't create .ste files yourself and don't have a backup of the Site Prefs file, you need to redefine all the sites manually.

  • HSB Issue, related to prefs file?

    Hi,
    I've been migrating from cs5 to 6 and have everything setup as I like it, mostly.
    My issue is with gradients and their color mode. Previously, in cs5, the color mode stayed on HSB, now I have to select HSB because for some reason cs6 defaults to RGB every single time and it's driving me insane.
    Now I've done some experiments and if I delete my prefs file from CS5 I can replicate this annoying behaviour, once the prefs file is reinstated the color mode stays on HSB.
    I tried copying the prefs file over to the cs6 folder but that doesn't solve the issue.
    I'm trying to pin down whether it's because the gradients were created in cs5 that they work in cs5 but I'm starting to pull my hair out here.
    I've read everything on this forum related to the issue and googled till my eyes didn't work. I've spent a lot of time on this now and need some help.
    I've seen plenty of people say it isn't possible to keep the mode on HSB but that isn't my experience, I somehow managed to achieve it before and need to replicate it because I simply can't be doing with have to change the color mode every time I need to change a color.
    I'm sure if you multiplied all those additonal seconds across all the users it would equal thousands of hours, it's just wasting everyone's time.
    I'm really hoping you can help.
    Thanks.

    OK I see what you're experiencing now. Double-clicking on the HSB gradient node does indeed bring up a color picker that is set to RGB.  DOH!
    This doesn't happen for me, since I use two monitors, and keep a majority of the tools open on the second monitor at all times. Instead of double-clicking on a gradient node, I simply select the node and use the (already open) color panel to make my adjustments/additions, which remain in HSB once they are initially changed from default (on a new boot of AI) from grayscale. With your workflow, I agree Adobe needs to address keeping color models (in art and swatches) as originally specified, especially for people (almost everyone it seems) who work with only one monitor.
    Just speculating here: HSB is "just" another way to present RGB. In my experience, it isn't as accurate as RGB, but gets one "very close" to what can be achieved when working in RGB instead of HSB. In this sense (still speculating) HSB is being seen by the software as a "derivative" or "expression" of RGB. So when a new color panel is opened, it would "naturally" defer to the base color-mode, RGB. I imagine addressing this problem, to allow the 1-monitor user to work in a derivative of RGB might be a huge challenge, affecting all areas of the software that deal with color.
    Ever since I began working with two monitors, many of these issues simply don't affect me. BTW, I have the same success using HSB in CS5 as I do in CS6, so my earlier guess that it was the Creative Cloud version that was allowing me to remain in HSB was thankfully wrong. It's the second monitor, allowing me to keep the tools open at all times.
    Now if Adobe would just add HSB to InDesign! ... it's always something. 

  • WLSE Location Manager

    I'm running WLSE 2.5 and the Location Manager performance is very sporadic. When I'm loading floor plans into the system, only about 25% of them will load. I've tried the different file formats (GIF, JPG, or PNG) and it doesn't seem to be any better.
    I'll normally receive a message "no map image available" where the drawing preview should be or I'll receive "Cannot have a number larger than 1000" in the bottom left-hand corner.
    Is there some magic secret on how to get this application to be useful? Have the newer versions 2.7 and 2.9 (upcoming) resolved these bugs?
    Is there any way to decipher the information in the JAVA debug window?

    Upgrading to the latest version is always recommended. For LM images, the key thing to remember is that the image size does matter. Recommended image size should be around 300kb and the resoluation should be not more than 1000x1000 pixels. The larger the image size the longer it takes to load it and more problems you may run into. Try reducing the image size to the above recommendations and then load it.

  • Corrupted prefs file?

    Hi All,
    I need some advice. Why do you think that the text size pull down menu's up and down arrows would be grayed out/disabled? I can change sizes if I manually type in a number, and the pull-down works. The keyboard shortcut works to change the type size one point size at a time up and down.
    Of course, my habit is to select the number and use the up and down arrow keys on my keyboard to change the size, sometimes I use the arrows in the box.
    I've opened the file on a different computer and it behaves normally.
    On the original computer, I've created a new file (the picture above) and it behaved the same way, so I think it's something independent of the file and something with the app.
    I've also experimented with different fonts with no change in behavior.
    I've deleted what I thought was the preferences file, the one just out there in the user/library/prefs folder. That did not change the behavior. There are a bunch of other Adobe-related folders in the prefs folder but I didn't want to mess with those and screw something up.
    Anyway... Mac G5 PPC, OS 10.4.8, InDe CS4. The other computer (where the type control panel behaved normally) is an MBP (Intel), OS 10.5.8, InDe CS4.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks--d

    I held them down before I started it up... that must not be the way to do it either. It requires such pretzel-fingers... I'll have to experiment. For the moment, though, I have work to do!
    I found this other article that gives more insight : <http://indesignsecrets.com/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-indesign-preferences-a nd-presets.php>. There's a link to a downloadable PDF. Although I didn't find my prefs files in the locations specified in the pdf, I did find a couple of files that I deleted and that re-made themselves when I started up ID.
    SO, for now things are good. Thanks so much for your help!

  • Location Manager and Time Zones Feature Request

    I use my Powerbook for consulting - and travel extensively.
    Location Manager handles my network setups, but, to the best of my knowledge, NOT the time zone information.
    I'd like to have the option to set the time zone from my location manager, so that when I get to a customer site, and attach to the network, files, iCal, Mail, and other timestamped files are correctly in sync with the location.
    I could probably write an automator script to do this, but it would be best supported directly in Location Manager.

  • Locating actual master files

    I store the masters from projects on 6 external HDs, 3 main and 3 backups.
    Some files, inadvertendly, now exist only on the backups, not the primaries.
    Now I'm trying to get organized and put all files from a given project on one HD.
    Aside from going file by file, and using "show in finder," is there any metaview that indicates the PATH to the master (which HD it's located on), rather than which project it's in?
    I can select all pics in a given project and move them, but some are "offline." When I isolate all offline pics, I must then go through them individually (it seems) in order to track them down.
    At this point I've not found a metadata category that tells me where the path to the physical file. Am I correct that such Aperture doesn't show that information?
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I guess I could have figured that one out, but somehow that whole interface (manage referenced files) is confusing and un-Mac-like. I hope its re-worked in version 2 to be easier to figure out. But thanks for pointing it out.
