Osx 10.8.2 where is application data stored?

I've had to replace a dead Macbook Pro.  While I did do a time machine backup, I'd rather not restore a new machine from that backup.  A third party app though, had data that I can't replace.  Would anyone know in what location data from a third party app would be stored, so I can access just that data from the backup?
Thanks for your help.

It depends on the app. They keep things in various places. Here are a few places I'd check:
Preferences (~/Library/Preferences)
In the package contents for the application (/Applications, then do right- or command-click on the app, and select "show package contents")
~/Library/Application Support
~/Library/Audio  (for audio apps)
I'd also look in /Library for duplicates of anything you find in ~/Library
Perhaps the documentation for the app, or whoever makes the app, or a user forum for the app, could give you some info.
Another trick is to try an app like app zapper, which is for deleting an app and all associated files. You could use that to identify the files.
And do a spotlight search.
What is the app?

  • Where is the "data" stored???

    Which table or where is the "data" stored when new users are created inside of Portal? I've been to the Portal Navigator page and can view the many, many classes, triggers, tables, etc.. but find it a bit overwhelming to try and look for stuff. How can one maneuver around the different schemas easily? Is there a way to tie in a visual tool that can show the objects and schemas of the db?

    hi,
    the users are stored in the table called WWSEC_PERSONS$ and the groups are stored in WWSEC_GROUP$.
    i'm using the SQL Navigator to go thru all the components of the product.

  • Where is the data stored for the Contacts application in OS X 10.10?

    My client uses Backblaze online backup, and recently needed to retrieve his contacts. Is the data stored in the app itself, or somewhere else? Backblaze doesn't back up applications by default. Is there a way to instruct Backblaze to back up the Contacts application?

    Thanks, lllaass.

  • Where is mail data stored in 10.9.4? Mail works fine, but there is no data in Users/Library...?

    Where is mail data (all messages) stored in 10.9.4?  Mail works fine, but I cannot find the data to back it up. It is NOT in Users/Library..(In fact, my User folder has no Library folder at all)..?

    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.
    The data are in your /Home/Library/Mail/V2/ folder.

  • IPhone Apps - Where Is User Data Stored?

    Where is the user data associated with an iPhone app stored? Is it stored within the app's .ipa file? For example, I use Weightbot. Is all of my personal data stored within the Weightbot.ipa file, or is it stored elsewhere?

    The reason why I bring this question up is, I've somehow lost 1GB of storage from my iPhone 3GS!
    I've added up the data size of all the apps on my iPhone. I've got 61 apps in total, which take up 1947.38 GB of storage. However, the Capacity bar in iTunes is telling me that my 61 Apps are taking up 3.10 GB!
    So, somehow I've lost over 1GB of storage on my iPhone. How can that be?

  • Where is mail data stored in mavericks?

    I accidentally deleted all of the data for mail - and I'd like to restore it from a Time Machine backup. But, I can't find it.
    When I go to Library, there is no mail data.
    When I open the mail app now, nothing is there and the preferences are grayed out so that I can't choose preferences.
    I can still get my mail on icloud - but nothing is connected in the mail app.
    I'd like to simply restore from where I was before I made this mistake - where is the data?
    Thanks!

    What exactly did you delete, and how?

  • Where is the data stored for Formscentral subscribers based within the European Economic Area?

    We are already experimenting with Formscentral for some basic survey collection tasks, but I am interested in the potential to collect larger and more complex data sets.  However, being based within the European Economic Area it would be easier if the data collected from any of our online published forms remained within the EEA rather than being stored in the US.
    Does Adobe store EEA customers' data within the EEA or is it all stored within the US?

    Everything is stored within the US.

  • Where is private data stored for Flash 12?

    As titled , I know it is not the same place as for Flash 10 as the data are not read by Flash 12 for the web sites . I am trying to copy the old data from flash 10 to Flash 12 's data store. Also, are the data in the same format as in 10? One of the major reasons I am still using Flash 10 because of the saved data are not being read using Flash 11, 12 or even 13 beta.
    Also, does Flash 12 resolve the problem of Firefox (27) hangs when  pressing the back button on youtube while the video is still playing? Also, firefox hangs for 20 or so seconds when Flash is starting for the first time after system boot, subsequent use of Flash does not have this problem.
    Sorry for asking two different questions here.

    Thanks, lllaass.

  • BAdI DPR_ATTRIBUTES: Where ist changed data stored?

    Hi,
    when using BAdI "dpr_attributes" e.g. to implement customer specific project names, are the new values stored in a transparent table? Which one would that be?
    Thx,
    Hans

    Hi Hans,
    At this level, data is not yet stored in any table, but in the object instance buffer.
    If you need to read this data, you have to call the object instance.

    The iPhone settings and 3rd party application settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app are included with the iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    This link provides the data included with the iPhone's backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    With XP, the iPhone's backup is located at \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    The iTunes application does not store any data. All data accessed by iTunes is stored elsewhere. Deleting/re-installing or just re-installing iTunes does not delete or affect your iTunes library, and does not delete or affect your iPhone's backup. Deleting iTunes does not delete your iTunes library and it does not delete your iPhone's backup.

  • Is there a way from where I can restore my profile from a back-up that I took from a folder (e.g \Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\)

    Before re-installing Firefox 19, I mistakenly took backup of my profile from a folder - C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and not from C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
    While installing, I selected "Delete the old profiles" option and I don't see any old profile folder under C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
    However, I have a lot of important data saved under that profile which now has got deleted.
    Is there any way I can still restore the data from old profile? (P.S.: As mentioned above, I have a back-up of profile folder which resides under Local Settings folder)
    I am in a desperate need for the help. Pls reply as soon as possible.

    i have some problem. i delete firefox profile and i cannot use mozilla right now. can you help me ? thank you

    Follow the steps in this article to restore from iTunes back up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Since you say you cant see the back up in iTunes you should be able to see it when following the last step where it says for iTunes 10.7 or earlier. Dont worry as this step also works for iTunes 11.

    I ran into a glitch on my system that I tried to fix myself. My NOD32 was always showing the yellow warning circle as my protection status when I started my computer. I tried to fix this every way I new how.
    Then I started to get pop ups asking me to fix and then send system error reports to Windows. Some stating they were '''''critical.''''' So I sent NOD32 the e-mail below.

    ''Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending'' this is where the scan stalls.

  • Web Application - Data caching of enterprise data

    Sorry in advance if this is off-topic but I can't find anywhere else to post this type of question.
    I am looking for information/suggestions such as books, technology or design methodology for my enterprise web applications. These sites are currently up and functional using only JSP, servlets and regular Java classes stored in a web application session to provide data caching and access. We are using Weblogic Server 6.1 running on an AIX Unix system at this time. I'm not sure that this is the best design architecture as our web sessions are getting too large but I can't think of any other Java technology to use and I need some help. Here's an overview of our environment and our needs.
    Our core data is held in a mainframe based IMS system. Some DB2 is also used. Access to this data is through IMS COBOL transactions which we can execute with IMS Connect. We also use some JDBC to get to the DB2 tables directly where available.
    Some overall application data is cached when the web application is deployed. We use singleton classes which are created and refreshed at deployment and they then refresh themselves from the sources every 24 hours.
    Each time a user logs in we execute several IMS transactions and JDBC calls to cache user specific data in regular Java classes which are then simply placed in the users web session where we access them from JSP, servlets and other Java classes. The fields in these Java classes range from any type of primitive field to TreeMaps of other Java classes. As the data is cached it is sorted and other fields are calculated and stored in these classes. As the user progresses through the system we then may have to do several other IMS transaction and JDBC calls to collect other types of data. All of this is then also added to the users session. Most of this in inquiry. We do allow transactions but those are built from user input and data already cached and are then we just execute the IMS transactions with the input.
    As our application has grown these Java classes have gotten larger and larger. And since these are simply stored in server memory in the web sessions then these are also getting huge. I'm concerned that this is not the best way for this application to be architected. Is there something else we should be doign? I simply don't understand how Entity Java Beans could be used but then again I don't know much about them. I wouldn't think that caching the data to a local database and accessing it from there would be any more efficient and would probably just slow down the system from all the I/O.
    Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

    The best book you can buy is 'Professional Java Server Programming, j2ee edition' by Wrox. It is by far the best reference I've used. Another quick reference consideration might be the j2ee book provided by codenotes... its quick and to the point.
