Location of the contacts data file.

It looks like I just deleted all of my contacts. Anybody know where the contact data is stored in Mountain Lion and can I use Time Machine to do a restore?

Contacts are in User Home Folder/Library/Application Support/AddressBook. Most of my contact info seems to be in the /AddressBook/Sources Folder.
You may want to try restoring the entire /AddressBook Folder

Does anyone know where the iWeb data files are located or what they are called? I can't find them. I looked in Finder for files named the same as my website, but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

If you erased or replaced your hard drive since iWeb was cancelled, then they are gone. Otherwise, if you have maintained backups then check those.
Usually such files are in the /Home/Library/ folder or a sub-folder.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

Contacts: where is the local data file saved?

Where does Mountain Lion store the local data file for the Contacts app?

It isn't a file. It is a collection of files, indexed with a sqlite3 database, which is all stored in your user Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.
To get to your User Library, in the Finder, hold down the option (alt) key and select Library from the Go menu.

Error message 'The Outlook data file (.pst) failed to load for this session.' when adding PST in Outlook addin

Hi All,
I have an Outlook (2003-2013) addin developed using C# (NOT VSTO).
A new client (using the desktop client for Outlook 365) has got a COMException error message stating 'The Outlook data file (.pst) failed to load for this session.' at the code line where I add the PST store (using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.NameSpaceClass.AddStoreEx).
I have never come across this error message before and there is barely any mention of this message on any forums. The only question I could find regarding this has been asked mid 2014 and hasn't been answered.
I'm fairly sure this is not related to either DisablePST or PSTDisableGrow registry key settings as I check fore their existance and notify the user separately.
Could anyone help me out on how to resolve this? I do not know where to begin even.
Thanks!!
Cheers!

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for the reply.
I pass the location that the PST is to be created (as a string), and the OlStoreType.olStoreUnicode constant.
The client is using a network location to store the PST file (even though we advised them not to) - leading to many corrupt PST files (that they are apparently happy to live with), but this is the first time we came across this message.
I would assume the problem is with that file, as no other clients are having any issue like this.
Have you come across this error message? Do you know what sort of scenario could be responsible for it?
Or would I have to file it under "random problems generated by network PSTs"? :P
Cheers!

I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

What are the real data files of an Oracle installation?

When I install an Oracle (XE) database then a lot of stuff is copied/setup:
*.exe, jdbc driver, service tools, scripts, config files,....
But which are the real data files (under WinXP)?
I mean the files where all the individual, personal table defintions, trigger code, inserted data records are stored?
As far as I heard these are only 9 files.
Is this true?
What, if I copy just these 9 files to another Oracle XE installation on another computer and replace the 9 files over there?
Is all the content available at the remote computer after restart?

The control file keeps info about the data files, including stuff like the last checkpoint scn, etc. If you just drop a new file on a different installation, even if the file has the same name and is in the same path, it won't match the info in the control file.
That's not to say there aren't ways to move a data file from one installation to another. But it is a lot more complex than simply dragging a file from one folder to another.

Using the cgicmd.dat file

In using the 9i report (pdf) format as a portlet
for portal we are required to supply the OID resource
under the ssoconn parameter . Since the numbers of users
are high and there seems to be no way other assigning programatically the resources ..
am wondering if i could use the cgicmd.dat file
i have seen examples for thing for jsp's but i dint see one for the rdf( pdf) formats run via rwservlet..
any pointer examplese would greatly help..
deepa

Hi Deepa,
Take a look at the cgicmd.dat file that comes with the iAS installation
ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/
This file has examples for rwservlet as well as for jsp's. To quote from this file:
; Oracle9iAS Reports Services ;
; CGICMD.DAT ;
; Example CGICMD.DAT Mapping file ;
; Syntax:
; KEY : VALUE
; Where:
; KEY - the first argument of the rwservlet URL request (case insensitive).
; VALUE - command line parameters and/or special parameters.
; Keys can be referenced in the following ways:
; 1. Parameter on command line to the reports servlet
; e.g. http://machine/servlet/rwservlet?KEY
; 2. Parameter on command line to a reports jsp
; e.g. http://machine/mydir/myreport.jsp?KEY
; 3. Within a reports jsp - in the rw:report custom tag
; e.g. <rw:report parameters="KEY">
Also, you could take a look at the Publishing reports manual, Section 8.9

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

How to open a database bypassing the missing data file

Hi,
i have a test database, which has not backup and no archive logs(not in archivelog mode). when i started it up , i got the error :
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 13 - see DBWR trace file

then i tried to enable archivelog mode
SQL> alter database archivelog;

Thanks
Heng

Where is the Contacts Master file when using iCloud?

     It used to be when I used "MobileMe", I was very clear about where my Master file was for my CONTACTS (fka Address Book) information. I could make changes on my iMac and then push them to my iPhone and iPad and evrything worked and synce perfectly (via iTunes).
     When iCloud replaced MobileMe nothing seems to be right anymore. Updates on my phone don't show up in my iMac Contacts. All my contacts in my iMac are now duplicated to most things are there twice. And I'm afriad to deactivate iCloud becasue of the onmious "...iCloud will delter these files from your device." message.
     Could you possibly have taken something that worked so well and screwed it up any worse?
     I am a long time APPLE user and I have "gotten" most things that Apple has done in the past 20 years. But iCloud seems to confound me on numerous levels.
     Where should I make changes and updates to my Contacts files so it flows to all my devices?
     Why does the Contacts file in my iMac now have duplicate entires?
     Why don't iCalendar updates I make in my iPhone transfer over to my iCalendar on my iMac?
     Is anyone else having troubles with something the used to work so perfectly?
Frustrated in Denver....

iCloud uses a server-client model in which your contacts and calendars reside in your account on Apple's iCloud server. Your computers and iOS devices simply interact with the data on the server. When any client device makes a change on the server, that change should be immediately seen by the other client devices signed into your account. This video may help explain what's going on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBf7Uzv1OmQ&feature=player_embedded.
That said, changes should be bi-directional; any change made on one device should be replicated on the others. Since that's not happening for you, something isn't working properly. To troubleshoot this, you start by determining wich of your devices is the problem. Open you contacts on icloud.com (the "master" list), then add a test contact on your phone and on your Mac and see which one fails to appear on icloud.com. Then do the same thing with your calendar: add a test event on your phone and your Mac and see which one fails to appear on your calendar on icloud.com.
Let me know your results and we'll take it from there.

Location of Widget Preferences/Data Files

I've got the "Classic Notepad" widget installed to track job numbers, but after transferring everything to a newer machine, the widget no longer displays the content. I'd like to recover this list, as I (stupidly) don't have it anywhere else, by seeing if I can extract the info from the data files generated by this widget. Can't find any information on the location of those files.
Where are the data files for widgets located in 10.4.11?
Thanks!
gary

Thanks for the reply. I located the preferences file, which didn't have my data. But you gave me a great clue -- so I looked in the user/library and found a folder which contained the text file and my data! Joy joy and more joy!
I've successfully recovered two years worth of job numbers. Thank you!
