OS Update File's Containing Folder Location

Hello: I want to delete a partial download of Mavericks 10.9.2 OS update (downloaded via Software Update >App Store). Where is this partial file kept ? Thank-you. MLR

Hello: I completed a manual update 'OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo)'.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
Then I went to my 'main Menu >Apple Icon >Software Update >App Store >check for updates'. This software update found, I now already have 'OS X Mavericks 10.9.2' installed, so it removed my previously cancelled update (from it's list). Then I remembered, 'Computer >Library >Updates (folder)'. I do not see the partial 'OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update' file, there. I assume it was automatically deleted during one of my previous procedures. I will not mark this post as resolved incase someone can offer additional information (just for education). I am assuming my situation is actually resolved. Thank-you, MLR

Why did 10.4 Update append a Media folder location ?

On both my Mac and my PC, the original media folder no longer points to:
DRIVEID\My Music\iTunes
But instead now points to:
DRIVEID\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Which mean that none of my iPhone apps can be found !!
I haven't tried to sync yet, but I'm assuming my movies and my music are likewise unavailable.

Once you get your library reconnected to the media you might want to "normalise" it to keep things simple in future.
There are generally two ways to use iTunes with an external/alternate/network drive, one is to relocate the media folder to a folder on the alternate drive, leaving the library files in the original location, the other (not advertised in support docs) is to move the entire iTunes folder to the new location and connect iTunes to the library there. You chose the first method, which works fine until you forget to turn on the external drive before you start iTunes, the drive letter changes unexpectedly, or a dodgy iTunes update comes along and makes a mess of things.
If your external media folder is called \iTunes\iTunes Media then process is relatively easy. Copy the contents of the iTunes folder on your internal disk into \iTunes on the external, then hold down shift as you start iTunes and choose the iTunes library on your external drive.
If your alternate media folder has a different path or name then a few more steps are involved.
Upgrade to the new iTunes Media Organization. Use File > Library > Organize Library... Reorganize files in the folder <Media Folder>. If the option is greyed out then this has already been done.
Consolidate your library with File > Library > Organize Library... Consolidate files just in case there are any files outside of the designated iTunes Media folder.
Copy the contents of your current iTunes library folder into the parent folder of the media folder. (In your case ..\My Music)
Connect iTunes to the library on the external with the shift-start-iTunes method.
Close iTunes and rename the media folder as iTunes Media, then start iTunes, check a track or two, then close it again. (Skip this stage if the folder already has the correct name) (In your case ..\My Music\iTunes becomes ..\My Music\iTunes Media)
Rename/move the parent folder as \iTunes (or create a new folder at \iTunes and move the iTunes library files, Album Artwork & iTunes Media folders into it) then reconnect iTunes to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method. (In your case ..\My Music becomes ..\iTunes)
The library is now in a portable layout. You can move the iTunes folder en masse to any new location, change the drive letter etc. and simply reconenct to the library. It will "just work". You can also backup the entire iTunes folder to another drive, network share etc. and that backup library will work too. I find SyncToy 2.1 ideal for this

Finding files by searching folder location.

Can I find photos by searching folder location, using Photoshop Elements 10? I used to use that method frequently inversion 5, but don't see how to do it in version 10. I am using Windows 7.

Files that contain folder structures (i.e. Quicken) general questions

My iMac hard drive just recently gave out. I've been backing up with Mozy, and I thought that was great. Until I tried to restore the Quicken file. This file is actually a directory structure inside. Unfortunately, Mozy treated this file as a folder, and I don't know how to combine all it's elements back into the original form.
First, what is this file called in OS X speak? I read about these files years ago while looking into Quicken alternatives, but I can't find those posts again (yeah, I really wish I had converted to something else before now)
Second, is there a way I can combine all it's pieces back into a single file like it was?
I'm sure that when I get my new drive in my iMac and go to restore my entire home folder, I'll find other files like this; so it's for more than just Quicken that I want to know how to do this.

They are not files as you think. They really are folders that are displayed as a file. So, there is really no way to put them "back together." If you name the folder with the appropriate extension, it will display as a single file. Generally, these are referred to as Packages.

How do you get the root folder to recognize updated file in nested folder?

I believe in OS 9, a modified file nested in a folder would trigger the root folder to recognize and update to the top of the "date modified" column. As long as I've used the Mac (20 years) I've used the "date modified" to force my current client folders to the top of the column. Lately, I have many nested folders in the root client folder. When I make changes to a file in a nested folder, OS X doesn't make the root folder recognize changes within a nested folder. I realize there is not likely to be a fix for this in OS X, as Apple probably deems this behavior to be proper (I do not,) so my question would be expanded to include suggestions for third party software that may accomplish this.

Sorry, posted that last post and ran out of time while editing it. It should read like this:
"Yes, if you ADD a new item or folder to a folder, it updates the root folder, but if you simply MODIFY a file (like Photoshop) within a subfolder, the root folder WILL NOT update the date modified. Check it out."
Actually, whether the directory that a file is re-saved in will be modified or not can depend on the application in question and how it saves files.
Let's say a folder has a single file in it. The modification date of the folder will be the last time a change was made to the directory, either by adding or removing an item from it. (This can include the invisible .DS_Store file in which the Finder saves view settings for a folder, which can often be written without you're realizing it unless you have the Finder show all files like I do).
Then, let's say you open that file, which is a stream of bytes, in an application. You make some changes which alters the representation of the stream of bytes in RAM. The application then saves the changes to the file by filling it with the stream bytes as they now are in RAM. Modifying the contents of a file in this manner does not alter the directory that it's in. The modified date of the folder should remain unchanged.
Some applications use a different method than above to save files, however. Let's say that theoretically while the application is re-writing to the original file during a save, the power goes out and your computer shuts down. There's a good chance that the document that was being saved is now corrupt. A safer method that some applications use, is to first write out the information to a new file in the same directory as the original file, then delete the original file, and then rename the new file so that it has the same attributes as the old file. This method will, of course, modify the directory that the original file was in by adding and removing a file.

Making excecutable jar file which contains folder

hi,
I have a strange (at least for me it is) problem. I made an excecutable *.jar file of one of my projects. The problem is, that it only works if the *.jar file is in the same folder as my project.
my project uses subfolders. i noticed, that if i deleted everything, leavin only the *.jar file and the folders, then it works.
so my question is: how can i tell my java programm to look for the folders inside the jar file?
yes, i did put all folders inside the jar file and yes i used relative paths within my programm.
thanx
Usul

for example:
analysePoints.addImage(new File("Candidates", "A.png"));
analysePoints.addImage(new File("Candidates", "Circle.png"));
analysePoints.addImage(new File("Candidates", "Cross.png"));
analysePoints.addImage(new File("Candidates", "Heart.png"));
analysePoints.addImage(new File("Candidates", "TriangleN.png"));
analysePoints.addImage(new File("Candidates", "TriangleSW.png"));or
   while( helpInt < pathsToImagesVT.size() )
     File currentImagePath = (File)pathsToImagesVT.elementAt(helpInt);
     Image currentImage = null;
    try{
      currentImage = getToolkit().createImage(currentImagePath.getCanonicalPath());
      MediaTracker helpMT = new MediaTracker(this);
      helpMT.addImage(currentImage,0);

Scheduled pickup and email of File from folder location

Hi,
I have a scenario where we need to pick up a file from a folder location on a particular date of a month and send it via email to an email id.
For this, we have planned a design where I have a SQL receive adapter which will poll a table in SQL and return a boolean value indicating that the file is
to be sent on the particular date. This instantiates an orchestration if the boolean returned is true.
once the orchestration instance is created, in the next steps, I am trying to receive the file from a folder location. I am getting a build error here. Mentioning "you must specify at least one already-initialized correlation set for a non-activation receive
that is on a non-selfcorrelating port".
Can you please suggest how I can correlate on these locations.
Regards,
Ujjwal
-Ujjwal

Ok got,
If my understanding is correct, you have an orchestration with two receive shapes. First receive shape is for
SQL to receive the trigger message and in second Receive shape you expect to receive the message from Folder (file location)
since you have two receive location in your Orchestration you have a convoy and you have set correlation for your Receive shapes. Initialize the correlation set
in first Receive shape and follow the correlation set in another Receive shape.
But for your requirement, even when the flow of your Orchestration moves to the second Receive shape (which is configured to
file location) it not going to pull/receive the file into your Orchestration as you expect.
As said, read the
schedule task adapter and use to trigger the file receive process on particular date of a month and have send
port with filter for the Receive port name (which has Receive location with schedule task adapter) and configure this send port to send email.

ITunes not storing files in iTunes media folder location

A number of years ago I wanted to move my itunes media files to an external drive. At the time an article was posted that explained how to do such that. Additionally the article explained how to put the media files in one folder on the external file server and all the itunes definition files in another folder on the same external file server. It worked perfectly! All seemed well. Of course since making this change there have been many many updates to iTunes and the OS.
Recently, I was scanning through the folders of the external file server and noticed some media files that appeared in the iTunes application listing were missing in the physical iTunes media folder (folder A). After a little searching I found the media files were in the iTunes definitions folder (folder B). Initially I thought somehow I had changed the folder location under the iTunes advanced tab. I checked it stilled pointed to the ORIGINAL folder A location. Yet iTunes had for a while as it turns out had created a whole new media folder tree and was adding the media files to that media tree (folder B). This is the folder the original only contained the iTunes definitions.
Thinking I had made a mistake somewhere sometime ago, I copied all the media files to the proper folder (folder A) and reset the iTunes Media folder location to point to folder A. All was fine.
Today I added some new media to the iTunes library and once again, iTunes created a new media folder tree in folder B were only the iTunes definitions are supposed to be stored. So once again I moved the media files to the proper folder.
There is no question THIS IS A SOFTWARE BUG. It does NOT matter what folder location is specified in the Preferences->Advanced->itunes media location is specified, iTunes will either CHANGE the folder location to wherever the definitions files are located or begin putting the media files where the definitions files are located even though the iTunes media location is setting to a different folder.
when this started I do not know. I have been using itunes for a number of years and once I had my external file server set up never had reason to check it.
One might ask why put the media files in one location and the definition files in another location. That is because there was a time when iTunes for some reason would think it definition files were corrupted and start to do nasty things to the media library. Once I lost a number of songs it is then when I found a note in this forum that suggested putting the definitions in one folder and the media in another folder. It was great idea. Is there a work around of a fix for this bug?

Some additional information.
When I click the apps tab in iTunes, some of the applications listed are actually songs (the songs are also shown in the music list and point to the proper location), when I click Get Info on some of the apps, it points to a song, and some apps that actually exist in the Mobile Apps folder are shown to located in a song folder. Bottom line the apps database is corrupted.
When I consolidated the music files I did not touch the mobile applications folder. As best I can tell all the movies and songs are fine (about 3000 items in total).
When I export the library it does not include the apps in the xml file. So deleting the iTunes DB and re-importing the .xml will not work.
To recap. All the songs and movies are in one folder (folder A). This is the folder listed in the Preferences->Advanced->Itunes media location. The apps folder is located in a different folder (folder B) where the iTunes definition files are located. How they got there I do not know.
How do I fix the apps tab and have the app icons (and physical applications) to point to the proper location? Also to remove the songs listed in the apps list without removing the song from the iTunes library.

Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?

My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
(0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
anything at the moment.
Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?
Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan.

No files or folders shown in Organizer Folder Location view

Hi!
I'm using Elements Organizer 8.0. If I select the Folder Location option from the Display menu, then I get a tree pane to left with a few folders in it: "Public", my user name, Computer, Network and Offline Media. The Computer folder in turn contains my drives. However, none of the folders can be expanded (no [+] icon) except for the mentioned Computer folder. So I can't reach any sub-folders. Furthermore, no files are ever displayed in the center pane, regardless of what folder is selected.
I have no filters set, I have tried enabling display of hidden files (not that this should matter) and can see no further options to change.
I did discover a sort-of partial workaround. If i right-click on a folder in the tree pane and select New Folder, then a new folder will be created in the file system, and the parent folder with suddenly be endowed with a [-] icon. If i click this to collapse the parent folder, and then click the [+] icon to expand it again, the I can suddenly see all other sub-folders in this folder. Of course, this is still worthless, since I still can't see any files.
Probably related to this is the fact that the Watch Folders feature is broken for me. I can select any folder (this is done through a standard Windows file selection box, so navigating through the file system to select the desired folder works fine) but it seems that the organizer never finds any files regardless of what folder I choose to watch.
Any ideas?
/Björn Stenborg

Display > Folder Location view will only show files (and their containing folders) if you've previously imported them into the Organizer, e.g. with File > Get Photos And Videos > From Files And Folders. Have you imported any photos yet into your catalog?
Note also that Folder Location view is buggy and often shows the wrong contents of folders, and with large catalogs (tens of thousands of photos), it is intolerably slow.
Regarding File > Watch Folders, it only imports photos that are added, deleted, or modified after you've started watching a folder.

IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path contains an invalid character

I tried to install ITUNES on an external HD (I didn't want to slow down my computer by putting all of my music on my internal HD). ITunes installed and then crashed. I removed all traces of ITUNES and IPOD that I could find and went to install ITUNES again on my regular internal drive. Now it goes through the installation and REMEMBERS my IPOD serial number (so obviously I can't find all of the files to remove) but doesn't give me a choice of where to install (it still must be trying to install to my external HD) the ITUNES. All I get is the following Error message:
IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
Does anyone have a solution out there?
Thanks in advance!

IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
Interesting. It's choking on the old iPod updater application. (iPod software updates are no longer handled by a standalone application ... that function was folded into iTunes beginning with iTunes 7.0.0.70.)
Let's try the following procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any entries called "ipod for windows \[date]" or "ipod updater \[date]" or just "ipod for windows" in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Quit out of CleanUp, and restart the PC.
Does an itunes install go through properly after that?

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

Remember last folder location lost with Mac Lion updates

Since Lion or Mountain Lion, we have had an annoying problem where the last folder location is not remembered in Illustrator. For example when updating links on multiple files, would like for the folder location to return to the last one used, but this would go to some folder 3 levels higher/
Found
http://www.stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/
fixes this. But hoping someone else has another solution as having to buy that for each computer would get costly for somethng that used to work. Also the software seems to not have bneen updated in a long time, adn don't wnat a solution that won't last. Am on 10.8.2.

how about this Mike, the file opening dialog is handled by the OS, if it still does not remember, I could manually try to code it to stay in a folder.
select a couple of images before running, to test,

How can I get firefox to highlight downloaded file when opening containing folder in linux mint 13

When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).
The file manager I'm using is nemo.
I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.
Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?

I have the exact same problem.
The source of the problem is that on Linux there is no single file manager.
I tried to determine if firefox uses xdg-open or some other technique by searching the source but have not found it yet.
If the proper call is used, for most file explorers this function can be realised.
If xdg-open is used, it should be patched, which I also tried and has not yielded results yet.
What would help me pick this up further is the answer to the question: what does firefox use to open the file in the download manager?
