Multiple plist files for QTX in Pref folder.

Hi folks,
Can you check your Preferences folder ( ~/Library/Preferences) to see if you too have numerous QuickTime Player X plist files?
I found 142 files which are suffixed with some garbled letters at the end (com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.RlLCL4q)
Not sure if this is normal or a bug but wanted to check w/ you all before submitting a bug report.
Thanks

Not sure about normal as an app shouldn't generate such an amount of plists unless they were caches.
Normal in the sense that each new file opened in the QT X player seems to create a separate PLIST file. (Not normal in the sense that this does not happen with QT 7 files.) If you searched the forum, you probably learned that the arbitrarily named files appear to be based on temporary files whose names are randomly generated and normally invisible to the user which I suspect under normal circumstances should have been deleted by the system after use.
I think 10.6.3 may have done away with it crosses fingers as the files in my pref folder were generated prior to 10.6.3's installation.
Many users reported the the generation of these superfluous files as a probable "bug" and it is quite possible that Apple may have corrected the problem as part of the last upgrade. I stopped using QT X long ago as I became tired of constantly deleting these files and tend to use the QT 7 Player for the "Pro" feature functionality which most of us still prefer to the limited capabilities included in the QT X Player.

Multiple plist files for Quicktime X

Hello-
I noticed that in my user preferences folder there are multiple (79) preference files for Quicktime player X. They all have the following format:
com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.fHp953T
The last seven characters are different for each file. Is this normal? Should I get rid of them? There is one file without the seven last characters.
Any information would be great-
Thanks

HI,
Leave those files right where they are. Yes that's normal.
If you launch your QuickTime Player, from the Menu Bar click QuickTime/Preferences. All your preferences in that window are stored in the .plist files.
If you have problems using your QuickTime software, then you can move the .plist files to the Trash. The next time you launch QuickTime your Mac OS X will generate a new .plist file for you.

Where is the plist file for the Finder option "Always Show Extensions"?

Where is the plist file for the Finder option "Always Show Extensions"?
I am designing a new master NetRestore image for Leopard. I have all my Dock and FInder prefs tweaked and customized on the image. (They all live in /System?Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences...)
The one preference I cant get to stick is the option to "Always SHow Extensions" It appears to not be located in the usual com.apple.finder
Can you tell me where this preference lives?

user/library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
Hold down the Option key when selecting "Go" in the Finder's menu to see your Library folder.

How to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer

I would like to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer, one copy for each person in the organization. I want everybody to log in as the same user. Is this possible?
Thanks,
John Link
Cube, 450 MHz, 640 MB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Since the Mail.app preference file (along with all other application preference files for a user account) is stored in that user's Home folder/directory, I don't believe this is possible.

Multiple indesign files for product brochure one data merge file

I have multiple indesign files for product brochure and there are price changes for various products.
attached is a screen shot of the folder where all the indesign files are located as you can see each one has been laid out as a spread.
Rather than opening each individual indesign file to amend prices can i quickly? or is there a way of compliling all documents into one file and quickly updating the price with the data merge file.
thanks in advance.

Absolutely not.
(1)     PDF/VT-1 files must also be PDF/X-4 files. The “create PDF via distillation of PostScript” method precludes this since PostScript supports neither live transparency nor color management.
(2)     The efficiencies of PDF/VT-1 require use of Forms XOjects and Image XObjects in the PDF file. That requires direct PDF creation that you get from PDF export. This is not available via any route that uses stink'in PostScript as an intermediary.
(3)     Adobe most strongly endorses PDF creation from InDesign via the export function, not printing to PostScript and distilling. Such PostScript is optimized strictly for printing and not for PDF file creation.

124 pages of corrupted .plist files for Pages/Numbers

Computer has been very slow and Pages/Numbers will not allow trashed files to be deleted unless the program is open. Least of my concerns. Just ran Disk Warrior and did a file check and got 124 pages of nothing but corrupted .plist files for Pages and Numbers. All references to files look like this, with very slight variations (can't post 124 pages here):
(hard drive)/com.apple.documentVersions/
3C712EC1-735C-406C-9BE6-D1D4A1ADD5B8.pages/Metadata/
All of the errors are in com.apple.documentVersions.
Not at ease with deleting all of these .plist files, but these corrupted files are really affecting iMac's performance. iWork updates have been through App Store, don't have original disk to reinstall. What to do?

Sometimes, DiskWarrior simply doesn't know what certain files are, or what to do with them, and tells you they are corrupt. What I would have expected it to find is (hard drive)/.DocumentRevisions-V100 folder, and not what you posted, which has never existed on my OS X machines with Pages/Numbers of any version.
Presumeably, and before you ran DiskWarrior, you booted into Recovery mode and performed 1) verify/repair permissions, 2) verify Disk, and 3) a Safe Boot mode procedure.
I have not updated Disk Warrior for Mavericks compatibility yet. The only time I have used it, was to rebuild the File Directory Structure database, and then only after that database shows over 10% fragmentation. This isn't often.
There are a number of reasons your machine may be slow. See if it has improved after Disk Utility and a Safe Boot. If it continues to be sluggish, you should repost in the Mavericks Discussions within Mac OS & System Software community. This will get more eyes on your performance issues.
You may wish to ensure that you have a good backup of important data too.

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?

InfoPackage to load multiple flat file for different plant

Hi
There is a requirements to load the data from multiple flat files by different plant into BI which source data is coming from other system. Each flat file has it own naming convention.
As data has to load via infopackage into the targeted cube. Then I have to create multiple infopackage in order to load the data according to the number of flat files that provided. However, new plant will be created due to expansion of bussiness. If that is the case, additional infopackage is required to create as and when there is a new plant.
Is there a way to create a infopackage to load the data from flat file by plant? Your advice is much appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Kang Ring

Hi,
The best way I can suggest is....
1. Create a folder in AL11 for your requirements.
2. In InfoPackage under Extraxction Tab you can have File Name , just side of this you can fine ABAP Routines ICon there you click on that and asks Name give some and then it will takes to your into ABAP Code there you can access the AL11 and then write code in such way that to take file irrespective of the File name, whatever the file is there in that Folder it ahoud take from that AL11 Folder path.
3. Load the Data using PC.
4.At the end of the PC Delete the File in AL11 folder , becasue we don't need it for next load.
Else
See the thread

Preview keeps crashing and there's no preference plist file for Preview in Library. What should I do?

Everytime I tried to open Preview, it displayed a dialogue saying: "Mac OS X needs to repair your Library to run applications. Type your password to allow this." However, as I typed my password and clicked Repair button, Preview keeps crashing. I tried to look for its plist file in the Library but I did not see any. Please help me.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've 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.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
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 boot 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.

Multiple "connections" files for SAPGUI Java 7.10

Hallo folks,
I have installed both SAPGUIs, the Java version and the native Win32 version. For my Win32 version i am used to use multiple SAPLOGON.INI files to separated the connections to my customers systems (i.e. one SAPLOGON.INI for each customer). Now i want to have the same for my Java SAPGUI.
Is there a pendant to the "/INI_FILE" command line addition (Win32) for the Java version?
Thx
--MIKE

Unfortunately, there seems to be no parameter like for SAPGUI Win. The solution i found is as follows:
- i created several connections files, each for all my customers (e. g. "connections.cutomer1", "connections.customer2")
- the connections file is referred to in the settings file. therefore, there needs to be a settings file for each customer, too (e. g. "settings.customer1", "settings.customer2"). The parameter @INCLUDE in the settings file points to the connections file to be used e. g. "settings.customer1" points to "connections.customer1", "settings.customer2" points to "connections.customer2").
- i created a shell script for each customer (e. g. "sapgui.customer1.sh", "sapgui.customer2.sh"). this script copies "settings.customer1" to "settings" and start guilogon afterwards. guilogon evaluates the settings file and uses the connections file specified in the settings file.

Plist file for Printers

We are looking at changing all the printers within our company. Rather than removing the old printers and installing the new printers on each Mac, is there an easy way to roll out the changes on all machines?
I was considering setting up all the new printers on one machine then copying the plist file and sending it out through ARD but I haven't been able to sucessfully find which file(s) holds the printer settings.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

/Library/Printers/ holds the InstalledPrinters.plist file. However, that might not be sufficient. If you didn't remove any printer software and have installed all the requisite software on one machine for all the new printers, then that file and the other subfolders in that directory might suffice. However, I do know that printer companies also create separate folders inside /Applications (at least Hewlett Packard does, so you might be swimming uphill with your objective. Maybe you ought to consider employing a printer server—details are beyond my ken.

Multiple audio files for one flash video

My company is developing a presentation software program that
is flashed-based. We are developing a series of videos that will be
converted to flash video. We will also be recording multiple audio
tracks for different languages that we want to swap out and sync to
the video (like the different audio language tracks on a DVD). Does
anyone know if you can encode the video and audio to seperate
tracks and then swap out the audio with another and still synch it
to the video?
We want to try and avoid encoding video for all the language
tracks to save space. If we could have one video file and then
multiple audio files that can be synched with the video file,
rather than having to encode video and audio for each language,
this would save a lot of room. Can anyone think of a way we could
accomplish this using flash and flash video?

nope, Keynote doesn't have "triggers" though I figure this has to be on Apple's radar as it's been brought up every time a new version comes out.
I suppose one work around would be to make a slide for each sound, and have the sound play when you go to that slide. Then make your table a series of buttons that go to each "sound slide" (you can make link buttons, just not triggers). It would give you the effect of clicking to play the sound, it's just that instead, Keynote would be jumping to a slide and playing a sound. All the slides would LOOK the same, and you wouldn't use transitions between them. The effect would get you what you want, it just takes longer to build.

Sync multiple plist files

Can this be done through Dropbox or otherwise & if so, how?
Thank you!

No. .plist files cannot be synced.
