No plist?

Hello,
I am able to burn a cd but when I pop it in a cd player ...it does not work. the computer shows files were burned on to the disk but thats it?
I do not have a burn option in my itunes? I tried to select my playlist and right click but no burn option. I even went to itunes preferences and in the advance tab there is no burn option? I had to just drag my music onto the blank cd and then burn it that way. I was able to burn in the past...so something happened from then till now? not sure what....? The music does play on my computer. i tried to trash my itunes plist but there is no plist in the folders?
Thanks for any input

ok...so now I was able to find itunes plist files and trash them... I may have been looking the wrong library folder...but nonetheless I did do a search for itunes plist and no such name came up? I still do not have a burn tab in my itunes pref...but i did find a way to burn from the file menu... you cant select the ones you want to burn from the main music library ..you have to have it in a folder in your playlist to be able to burn. I still can not right click my selection and burn it that way.
hope this helps someone.
ciao

Can no longer read plist files

I've got a script that iterates through a list of hostnames, connects to each host, looks for the existence of a list of applications, and if they exist reads their Info.plist for the version. This worked seamlessly until a couple of days ago. The only change I can think of is having changed my username on all of my Macs from <username> to <username>.sa to differentiate privileged accounts from unprivileged accounts. Yes, this caused a number of issues, and I've hunted them down. I can connect to every host with <username>.sa, perform actions with sudo, etc. What I can't do any more is read plist files, even when logged in locally:
quad:~ username.sa$ defaults read /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Flash\ Player\ Install\ Manager.app/Contents/Info.plist

The file is there. It is readable. I can read it... just not with the 'defaults' command. This is with all plists on all of my Macs.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Cinema display serial number from plist

Hi, I need help getting my cinema display serial number from an old Plist file. My office was broken into recently and someone made off with the monitor. It's a long shot but I thought I could find the serial number for the campus police. I was able to find an old com.apple.windowserver.plist file that had some information for the display. I tried the command <defaults read ./com.apple.windowserver.plist> and came up with the following. Problem is they don't look like serial numbers for a cinema display. Any suggestions?
                DisplayID = 69530633;
                DisplayProductID = 37430;
                DisplaySerialNumber = 42039688;
                DisplayVendorID = 1552;

Hi ,
Go to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist. Open this with TextWrangler or a similar utility. Look for a DisplaySerialNumber key with an integer value that isn't 0. With any luck, this should be the s/n of your display.
If you haven't used this display for a while, the records of it may be gone.
Also, it appears that this isn't guaranteed. Double-check if possible.

My imovie seems to have completely crashed... and I'm hoping someone can help me. I have moved all my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. I've deleted all the plist files I can find and I still cannot get it to open.

Please help... it seems all is lost as all I kind find on this subject seem to lead to nowhere. My engagement was on imovie, a school project, several videos of our son. You will have to hold my hand through this process... as I am not very good at this type of thing. I believe I have deleted all the necessary plist files and moved my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. imovie has been upgraded to version 9.0.9... Whenever I open it I just get the beachball and then I have to force quit and I get the following report:

Hi
Yes this can be many things - and I can only guess/suggest.
A. a very common origin to make the Mac un-happy is to - PANIC-HALT - when the round multicolored thing appear.
So much can go wrong by doing this - and if done often problem builds up that can result in a real disaster.
B. NEVER - move or alter any folder named - iMovie Event's resp. iMovie Project's - as iMovie has no search function - moving them results in that iMovie get's 100% lost.
One can move them - but this HAS TO BE done within the iMovie application (as it is up and running)
C. preference files - there are TWO or more Libraries on Your Mac. First and easy to find is the one You see when opening Your Start-Up Hard Disk window = Root Library == the WRONG ONE
What we need to find is the one in Your User-Account folder (icon as a house) - and this is in Mac OS X.7, X.8 and X.9 HIDDEN. To see it do:
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
or - do like this.
On the Finder window at the top left of the screen,
Hold down the Option key and clicked on Go.
This allowed You to see the Library folder and select it.
Then keep the Option button pressed down in order to see and select the Library folder.
Once found it, You are able to navigate to the iMovie preferences file and move it to the trash. iMovie then start’s up fine!
Now here in Your User Library - find Preferences and trash
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
I Prefere another way to find out if this is the problem.
(after all folders (iMovie Event/Projects are moved into original place)
• go up to Apple Menu
• Down to System Pref's
• Select Accounts - Create a new User
• Go down the Apple menu - Log OUT
• Log into as the new User
Now try iMovie
Does it work at all ? (Yes You don't see Events or Projects in Your original Account just now)
If so - Then we know that there is a corrupted pref file to be trashed.
Else - the problem are much more severe.
D. After Panic Halt / Forced Quit - I always do -. to keep disasters on arms length.
• Repair Permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
• Start from other HD or DVD - then run Repair Hard Disk (Apple Disk Util tool)

Trying to delete Office for Mac and getting this message: The operation can't be completed because the item "com.microsoft.DocumentConnection.plist" is in use.

I am trying to remove Office for Mac from my Macbook Air. I've deleted the files and moved to Trash, but can not empty Trash. This message continues to display when I attempt to empty Trash and thereby delete all Microsoft plist files...

You can't delete Office simply by throwing the app in the trash.
Here are the instructions for removing it, follow them exactly.

Time machine on external drive will not back up itunes media file on a separate external drive. Have already reformated itunes media drive,dragged itunes media backup file from time machine (old copy) and removed time machine plist and restarted.

Two external drives, one for time machine backups and a second (daisy chained firewire) for itunes media folder . Time machine fails to backup the media file saying could not be completed, with no error specified. Steps taken already include reformating drive with media, dragging older media backup file from time machine disc to media disc, and deleting time machine plist and starting time macine preferences upon startup. Media folder is approx 200 gb, mostly ripped dvd movies.
Any help for this??
Thanks

New to applescript. need to create a plist file using applescript

Needed some help I need on creatinga plist file below using applescript and I can't make it happen needed some hand on this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Username</key>
<string>${localAdminUser}</string>
<key>Password</key>
<string>${localAdminPassword}</string>
<key>AdditionalUsers</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Username</key>
<string>${userName}</string>
<key>Password</key>
<string>${userPassword}</string>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
I have tis code but it doesn't seems to work.
tell application "System Events"
-- create an empty property list dictionary item
          set the parent_dictionary to make new property list item with properties {kind:record}
-- create new property list file using the empty dictionary list item as contents
          set the plistfile_path to "~/Desktop/example.plist"
          set this_plistfile to ¬
make new property list file with properties {contents:parent_dictionary, name:plistfile_path}
-- add new property list items of each of the supported types
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
                    with properties {kind:string, name:"Username", value:"${localAdminUser}"}
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
                    with properties {kind:string, name:"Password", value:"${localAdminPassword}"}
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
                    with properties {kind:list, name:"AdditionalUsers"}
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
                    with properties {kind:string, name:"Username", value:"${localAdminUser}"}
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
                    with properties {kind:string, name:"Password", value:"${localAdminPassword}"}
end tell
The result of the above code will generate a plist file below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>AdditionalUsers</key>
          <array/>
          <key>Password</key>
          <string>${localAdminPassword}</string>
          <key>Username</key>
          <string>${localAdminUser}</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Hello
You need to create elements at correct container. Like this.
set plist_file to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "example.plist"
--set plist_file to "~/desktop/example.plist"
tell application "System Events"
    tell (make new property list file with properties {name:plist_file})
        make new property list item at end with properties {kind:string, name:"Username", value:"${localAdminUser}"}
        make new property list item at end with properties {kind:string, name:"Password", value:"${localAdminPassword}"}
        tell (make new property list item at end with properties {kind:list, name:"AdditionalUsers"})
            tell (make new property list item at end with properties {kind:record})
                make new property list item at end with properties {kind:string, name:"Username", value:"${localAdminUser}"}
                make new property list item at end with properties {kind:string, name:"Password", value:"${localAdminPassword}"}
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
Or you may create a record in AppleScript and set the value of plist file at once. Like this.
set plist_file to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "example.plist"
--set plist_file to "~/desktop/example.plist"
set dict to ¬
    {|Username|:"${localAdminUser}", |Password|:"${localAdminPassword}"} & ¬
    {|AdditionalUsers|:{¬
        {|Username|:"${localAdminUser}", |Password|:"${localAdminPassword}"} ¬
--set dict to {|Username|:"${localAdminUser}", |Password|:"${localAdminPassword}", |AdditionalUsers|:{{|Username|:"${localAdminUser}", |Password|:"${localAdminPassword}"}}}
tell application "System Events"
    tell (make new property list file with properties {name:plist_file})
        set value to dict
    end tell
end tell

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

I am trying to troubleshoot a slow iMac. EtreCheck showed that com.adobe.CS5ServiceManager.plist failed. Not sure if this is important or how to fix. Any suggestions?

Exception for syslogd in com.apple.alf.plist doesn't work after 10.5.6 upgd

(This is cross-posted from the 10.5 Ins and Setup forum [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8902103#8902103], per the suggestion of a reader.)
In 10.5.4, I added /usr/sbin/syslogd to the exception list in /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/com.apple.alf.plist.
This allowed me to keep the mediocre application firewall set to "allow only essential services" and still allow my router to send syslog messages to a log on my Mac.
I upgraded to 10.5.6 (straight from 10.5.4). Since the upgrade, it appears that the application firewall ignores the additional exception entry I added.
I've tried moving the exception entry up (replacing the one for configd), but it doesn't matter. I already know about /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist, so you don't need to suggest that I delete it. It's re-created (as a binary) each time you unload/load the launchctl for syslogd, and it does appear to use the file in /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/com.apple.alf.plist.
The only two ways I've found to allow syslogd through are:
1. disable the app firewall (choose "allow all incoming connections" (not my preferred solution)
2. choose "set access for specific services and applications", which unfortunately allows all the specified applications (and probably allows Apple's hidden list of exceptions that includes things like World of Warcraft and Skype). The hidden list opens the machine to a greater number of attacks from trojan software, and I'd rather have the system locked down, not opened up.
Does anyone know how I can recover the 10.5.4 functionality, which allowed me to add syslogd as an exception, instead of adding it to the GUI list of applications?

I also want to receive log information from my Draytek Router I found a reference in the Draytek forum see:
http://www.forum.draytek.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=12009&highlight=syslog+mac
however when I updated the
com.apple.syslogd.plist
the required information did not get thru to the Draytek Syslog program.
I am also using 10.5.6

Problems loading text to xib using plist in tableview's selected cell

I am developing an app that starts with a grouped tableview cell. Each cell has an image, text, and description from a plist. When a cell is chosen a xib is loaded by a view controller in the plist. I want to load into the xib some text, an image, and a sound file that is in the plist (dict for that cell). This way I don't have to have lots of view controllers and xibs. I have been able to load the xib using this method but I can't get the images and text to load. I have been able to do it when I don't have a grouped table view but when I add the grouping in the plist the connection is lost. below is my code. Could someone look at it and tell me where I've gone wrong, how to correct it, or another way to do what I want to do?
I know I am not calling the right array and then dictionary but I don't know how to correct this. Help please.

I think you problem lies in this part.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath {
    const NSDictionary *const row = [self rowForIndexPath:indexPath];
    NSString *wantedClassName = [row objectForKey:@"controller"];
    UIViewController *const vc = [[NSClassFromString (wantedClassName) alloc] init];
    NSLog(@"controller is -%@-", wantedClassName);
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
    TableViewPushAppDelegate *appDelegate = ( TableViewPushAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
    appDelegate.myImage = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"%@",[[tableDataSmobjectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:@"picture"]];
NSLog(@"%@", appDelegate.myImage);
appDelegate.textView = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"%@",[[tableDataSm objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:@"description"]];
    [vc release];
specifically the underlined part. does this need modifying or completely rewritten.

How to create the data for custom objects in pList

Hi,
I am new in developing on iPhone and I don't know much about this area. I would like to ask a question. I couldn't find the answer on this question in apple documentation but I hope Internet community will help me.
Lets say I have a class called classA. The classA has 2 public properties (or fields):
*int customIndex*;
and
NSString *customTitle;
My view controller class showMeSomething has a property NSArray which holds the objects of type classA. I would like to load the array from the plist resource file. How do I edit the resource file with initial values or how do I know the format of the plist which can be loaded from using mainBundle for my array of custom objects?
Thanks!

Here's some info on working with plists:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/Introduc tion/chapter1_section1.html
They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

File error messages using DiskWarrior-- pList items

The files shown below are corrupted according to a DiskWarrior file check. It was my understanding with earlier OS versions, that the solution was to discard a bad pList, and then the parent Application (or the system itself) would refresh it in the same Library folder. I have done this with Applications before.
I fixed Permissions in Disk Utility before doing any of this.
And now, running 10.9.3 as my system, I navigate to the GO drop down menu at the top of the screen. While depressing the OPTION key. The LIBRARY appears in the menu.
Why can't I find most of these items in the Preferences submenu of Library?
Where are they hiding?
Is the solution to throw them away?
Does any of this matter, or is Disk Warrior sending a false alarm?

Mail wont launch at all. Deleted this: ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Mail wouldnt let me send outgoing mail claiming there to be an error whilst there was an outgoing connection. So I thought to completely reset the entire app and found a forum that told me to delete something >_> And so I deleted this ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and now nothing will launch. And well. Nothing is backed up. Im an idiot. ;___; I just want to go back to my chalk and slate. TECHNOLOGY HATES ME. Please help me.

Hi Bill,
You could also try com.apple.helpviewer.plist (in ~/Library/Preferences). Have you noted whether this is system-wide or restricted to your user account? I'd create a test account (if you don't have another on your system) and try the help menus. If they're messed up over there, then fixing things in your user folder won't help. The only system resource I could find that seems remotely relevant is /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.helpdata.plist, but I'd be verrrry careful about messing around with stuff in your System folder.
Hope that helps!

TS1381 My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226). I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, test all other keys with keyboard view (all others work) - HELP!!

My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow).
In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work.
I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
Here is the kicker! In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
thanks and regards
vats3

I would also like to add that I've reverted the two cd drive and hard drive mods I did and the laptop is back to factory hardware and there is 0 corrosion or mold visible.

No plist?
