Package content question.

I just got my new Ipod Nano 4th generation. What is the little white plastic thing for. The ipod fits in one side of it, but it will not set anywhere. It look like a dock, but where is it suppose to set.

Thanks. I'm new to the ipod. I just ordered a universal dock. I didn't know they were available. Looks like it will come in handy.

865PE NEO3-F package content question

A had a brand new motherboard break down, so the store where I bought it did send me a totally different motherboard: a 865PE NEO3-F and seemes to been used and there is no CD or nothing else in the box. I've paid for a full product and I would like to know what the package contains in a full box.
I've checked the manual online 'cus I didn't get one in the box, but it doesn't say anything about package content.
Can anyone help me out?
Robert

Many times when items are RMA'd, what you get is a refurbished item, not new. In fact, it should be stated in the replacement policies. Also, often, you only ship the item, not the accessories that come with it. Usually, this is spelled out in the RMA--at least it has with a router and UPS I've RMA'd in the past. Obviously, these conditions are not universal and each RMA process and requirements are specific to a manufacturer/product. Anytime I RMA, which has been rare, I double check to make sure I know exactly what needs to be returned. I hope you get what you deserve and owed in product replacement. Definitely contact the retailer.

Officejet 8600 Pro Premium package contents question

Hi again,
Looking ath the 8600 Premium, saw a CNET review where the guy said that the printer is supposed to come with 2 sets of in cartriges and a pack of paper, is that true? Cant seem to find much info on it.
Thanks!

The document here shows a single set of starter cartridges in the section on the right called "What's in the box". There may be special offers in various regions, currently in the US there is a $100 off offer through August 14.

Iphotos Package Contents: What are all these folders for? Is it too large to back up in the cloud?

Dear experts, I am quite a newbie when it comes to understanding the Mac filing system, as I originally came from the PC world. There's lots of things I dont understand in the iMac file viewer and how to organise and backup my photos is an important issue for me.
I know that if I want to look at the original photo files on my iMac, I can right-click on users/myname/pictures and select "Show Package Contents".
Question 1 - What are all these folders for?
Please can someone explain what is the difference between all the folders I see? Some of them seem to be exact duplicates of the others e.g. Masters, Modified and Originals all seem to have the same content. So here is a list of folders that I see. What is in them?, or what is their purpose?
Data
Data.noindex
Modified
Originals
Apple TV Photo Cache
Attachments
Auto Import
Backup
Caches
Contents
Database
iLifeShared
iPod Photo Cache
Masters
Previews
ProjectCache
Thumbnails
Question 2 - Which photo folder should I back-up?
If I want to keep a physical backup of my photos, which of the above folders should I copy to an external hard drive? (I use Get Backup to automatically copy all important new or changed files to an external drive)
Question 3 - Using the cloud: What is the best way to backup my large photo library in the cloud safely?
I would like to have some kind of safe backup in the cloud for my photos. However the size of the iphoto library is huge at 165GB. Even the Masters folder is huge. It is 130GB. Is it possible to back up files of this size in the cloud? I have a couple of services called photo streaming and Dropbox, but they don't seem to be able to handle this kind of size. Photo streaming only works with 1000 photos (as far as I can tell), and my Dropbox probably has a limit too. I guess it's about 5GB. I am already using about 3GB of my Dropbox space for other files. I would consider both paid and free solutions.
Many thanks to all the experts for your help!

know that if I want to look at the original photo files on my iMac, I can right-click on users/myname/pictures and select "Show Package Contents".
Don't do that. That's like opening the hood of your car and trying to figure out what all the different bits and peices are and which you can yank out and dispose of. Simply, there are no user-serviceable parts in here.
So, your Question 2:
You back up the iPhoto Library as a single unit.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Your question 3:
There is no good back up to the Cloud. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that the datasets are so large and the cloud services shapre their download speeds. This means restoring can take days to complete. Then, and this is the big problem, the iPhoto Library needs to sit on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Bluntly, no servers online are formatted appropriately, and if the Library is written to - by an incremental back up, for instance - there is a very high likelihood that the library will be corrupted.
Your Question 1:
The Library you're describing there sounds like one that has been updated a few times. Not everything you list there is a folder. Some will be aliases.
The Data folders hold thumbnails.
The Masters and Originals folders hold the files as imported from the camera
The Previews hold the versions of the edited photos that are accessed via the Sharing mechanism.
I think if you look losely that you'll notice that one of the Data folders and one of either the Masters or the Originals folders is actually an alias.
Everything else is a database or cache file of some form. All are required for iPhoto to work.

Trying to understand app info size vs package contents info size

Help needed with a basic question:
The disk space size shown in the info panel for an app: What is it a measure of?
Does it represent, and should it be the same as, the size of the app's package contents folder?
I have several apps whose sizes shown in their info panels are Much less than the sizes of their corresponding package contents folders.
One example is:
The info panel for Preview.app shows size: 40.7MB.
The info panel for its Contents shows size: 70.2MB.
What's going on?
Thanks

Glad to help:
If you want to compare getinfo in terminal.app use the "du" command:
du -ch /path/to/file
example
du -ch /applications/preview.app

Regernerating lost references with iDVD - Package Content

Hello all!
The situation:
I have some old iDVD projects which I would like to overwork a little bit. Meanwhile I am on iDVD'08 and some of the referenced images have sligtly moved from there original location. When iDVD starts up with such an obsolete project I have the occasion to search for the lost images in a convenient way.
How it was:
With former iDVD versions, I could specify a path from where iDVD starts to search. The search was rather fast and efficient, as I colud specify a path inside the "iPhoto Library"
How it is now/my question:
with iPhoto '08 its library turned into a package. I am not able to open the package (View packages content) using the small file browsing dialog box provided by iDVD in the mentioned serach dialog. Therefor all I can specify now, is the entire "iPhoto Library" as a starting point for the lost images. The search takes now forever as I have several thousands pics in my Library.
Has anybody an idea how I can speed this up? Is there e.g. a way to permamently open the package and move back to the regular file structure for iPhoto?
Or can I extend the functionality of the limited file browsing box and have it able to dive into a package?
Thx for any hints on that!

I just got a old iDVD project messed up by this poor implementation.
I guess nobody forced you to upgrade
Old applications/projects/etc don't remain compatable with new operating systems/applications/etc forever. I'm not an iPhoto user (for many reasons), but the non-destructive manner in which it saves modified versions with the same name has always bothered me. Couple this with the tendency of some digital cameras to reset the numbering system every time a card is erased or the batteries are changed and you get the kind of multiple file name confusion you are experiencing.
Does anybody has an idea?
Unfortunately, the best advice I can give you is to start over with a completely new project in iDVD '08.

Gettin' tired of clicking "Show package contents" for avchd etc folders

Hi
I have many avchd vid files in their proper folders saved on drives. Since upgrading to Mavs, if I want to look at the video and I'm not in FCPX, I have to click on 'AVCHD' and choose "Show package contents", then do the same with BDMV to finally see the files.
Seems like I've come across this in non-video related things a couple times, too.
Any way to skip having to do the "Show package contents" dance? If there is a solution is it only in general or can one choose what not to always 'bundle'? A bit of a stupid question, but...
me stupit,
elmer

Drag the AVCHD icon to QuickTime X, or just double click on it. It will open to a thumbnail display of the video files contained in the package.

How do i "show package contents" on .webtemplate files that have arrow

Hi,
Quick question:
How do i "show package contents" on .webtemplate files that have a small arrow attached on the file icon. Its a template a downloaded from 11mystics.com (free). When i right click the icon there is no "show package contents" available on the drop down menu....
Thanx!

When you bring up the contextual menu for the icon, choose "Show Original". This will take you to where the original file is and you should be able to "Show Package Contents" on it.

Thanks for your reply!
Your workaround is interesting, but you'd think there would be a general way to stop having to click 'Show package contents' for anything. Snow leopard I didn't have to do that, so can't see why in Mavs there's not a way to stop it 'bundling'.
Thanks again!

My guess is people were going into the structure and messing it up by moving things. Then, they complained that they couldn't view/download their movies. But, who knows?

"Show Package Contents" help

Hello, Just got an mac today and Im installing new stuff, well, once i've installed firefox 2 and got it running, I needed to put some files in the install directory (Or, what im assuming in Mac OSX is the "Show Package Contents menu when right clicking"
Anyways, when I try to paste something in there, I well, simply cant, there aint no paste option when I try to right click or do Mac shortcut + V. So i cant install an extra search engine for firefox.
At first I throught this would be because my user account on my mac didnt have sufficent privledges, but im 95% sure the main account im using has "Admin" status.
So, thanks in advance ^^

Hi Goldfin,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion Forums and congratulations on your new Mac!
"I needed to put some files in the install directory (Or, what im assuming in Mac OSX is the "Show Package Contents menu when right clicking"
I'm not sure of exactly what you are trying to accomplish by copy/paste to the "install directory"?
Firefox will automatically install the add-on search engine for you. Is this perhaps a search engine that is not offered through Firefox's manage search engines function? It sounds as if you have downloaded a seperate file/s for a search engine and are now trying to add it to the browsers search engines list...is this correct?
If you have not, go to the search bar (top right in Firefox browser) and click on the search engine alias that is there which will bring up the pop-up list of installed search engines along with the "manage search engines" option. Click that which will take you to your search engines list. Once there click on the link for "Get more search engines". Find the engine you are looking for and it will install automatically in your search engines list.
Sorry if that is not what you are looking for.

No response when packaging content

Hi Guy,
I have followed quick guide to setup completely. However when I prepare to package content in Flash Access Manager, I press "Package Media" button and don't get any outputs and logs like AdobeFlashAccess.log, it doesn't show any warning dialog window on the panel either. I should be configuring properly following the guide, I am not sure it's correct since I installed servers on VPN.
Can someone please point me which step I was missing?
Thanks for your reply in advance !
Lewis.

Hi Lewis,
The Flash Access Quickstart Guide (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashaccess/pdfs/FAXS_2_0_Quickstart.pdf) describes setting up the Flash Access UI Manager on Step #5.
Some specific questions:
- On Step 5.6, did you see the fields auto-populate? (This confirms your packager .war file was properly deployed)
- Where are you looking for your AdobeFlashAccess.log? (The location of this file is indicated in your log4j.xml file)
- When you specify content you want packaged, the content must be on the same machine that is running your packager .war file. If you have a remote client running the Flash Access Manager which is connecting to the packager server, the content still has to reside on the packaging server (and not your remote client). For instance, if your remote client with the Flash Access Manager specifies the content "c:\temp\foo.flv", the packaging server will attempt to look at its own "c:\temp\foo.flv", and not remotely query the remote client machine's hard drive.
cheers,
/Eric.

I am trying to Show Package contents of iMovie and it freezes at the hr.lprog folder

While doing a virus scan my machine would freeze on the file
Applications/iMovie/Contents/Resource/hr.lprog/Title-SidewaysDrifting.nib/keyedo bjects.nib.
Bitdefender said to send them the file.
I am able to "Show package contents" of iMovie, and open the Contents and Resources folder. When I try to open the hr.lprog folder, I get the spinning beach vball of death and I have to reboot my machine using the power button.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
Is the hr.lprog folder just the language files for Croatia? If so, can I safely delete them, or is there more to it?

My guess would be that your hard drive has become corrupt, and the corruption is affecting something about that folder or its contents such that when the Finder tries to display them, it crashes. I would recommend immediatelyrepairing with Disk Utility. Also, if you don't have any backups, now would be a good time to start, before something bad happens.
If repairing the hard drive doesn't work, I would try deleting and reinstalling iMovie.
Also, note that I don't recommend BitDefender. Read my Mac Malware Guide, and if after reading that you want to have anti-virus software, use one of the programs it recommends. BitDefender has performed poorly in my anti-virus software testing, both in the first round and the second round of testing.

Window blank when I click "Show Package Contents" in Pictures folder

Long story short, I have two iPhoto libraries - one on an old laptop and one on a new MacBook Air (10.6.4). I have been trying to copy the old iPhoto library from the old laptop to the new laptop (so that I would be able to access both libraries on the new laptop by holding down option when starting iPhoto and selecting one or the other).
I copied the old iPhoto library into the "Pictures" folder on the new laptop. Then I did some ill-advised tidying up (I know, I know, I'm an idiot) in that "Pictures" folder. As I understand it, inside "Pictures", there should be an "iPhoto Library" folder but that has now gone. In fact, there is nothing in "Pictures" at all. When I right click on "Pictures" and select ""Show Package Contents" I get a blank window.
I have the two iPhoto libraries (old and new) elsewhere on my hard drive - in a folder I created in the home directory ("Pictures 2" > "iPhoto Library"). iPhoto can read the two libraries from there no problem. But I cannot drag and drop the libraries into the "Pictures" folder, where they should be, because I get an error message: "You can’t open the application “Pictures” because it may be damaged or incomplete". When I click on "Pictures", it doesn't open in Finder but iPhoto opens up showing whatever library I used last.
Someone on the iPhoto forum suggested that I post this problem here: "That sounds very like the Pictures Folder has had it's Execute bit set and the Mac now thinks it's an application. The solution to this is a trip to the Terminal. Post this here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1339 and someone will give you the Terminal commands to fix that." So I'm hoping that someone here can help me out!
Let me know if you need any further info. The other thread is here:

I'm having the same exact problem. I have an older macbook pro and I was trying to copy the iphoto library to my new imac. I was stupidly messing around with the pictures folder on the comp when things weren't migrating correctly, then it suddenly changed from a folder to a package and I got the same error when I tried to delete. Any suggestions?

Iphoto package contents is separate from iphoto after hard drive recovery

I have moved some of my previous iphoto libraries to an external hard drive. It fell and was not usable and did nor want to open any of my fikes. It was rceovered and I've received it back. The package contents are now seperate from the iphoto icon's on the hard drive. If I want to open it, it asks me to upgrade to the new maverick's version iphoto library. I click upgrade but then it saus that my iphoto library needs recovery and that it will quit and relaunch by itself. If I press quit the whole process starts anew. What should I do to be able to view my iphoto library? Please please help!

Dear Larry. Unfortunately I have just copied all my old libraries to this external hard drive and was about to back it up when it fell. This was still the previous Iphoto app before I updated my mac to mavericks. I now run OS X 10.9.2. The folder in which I received back this hard drive shows: folder "2012 iphoto". In this folder all the package contents lies together with the older iphoto app. In other words, if I right click on the iphoto icon, there is no option to "show package content:, because I assume it is not in it and is seperated. I hope I explained this correctly?
If I now double click on the iphoto icon, iphoto starts up and it shows me the following message: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.". I then click upgrade, and the following message appears: " An inconsistency in your database has been detected. The application will now quit, relaunch, and restore your database to a consistent state. This may take some time." It only shows a tab with "quit". If I pres quit, iphoto closes and reopens with the first message showing again. This continues untill I choose the option to not upgrade...
Please help
