Receipts Files Storage

Hi guys!.
I've got a little short on my HD and i'm erasing some files and i've found this folder
//Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/
In this folder there are like 140 items of things that i've download like software updates, clamXav and updates for Mac OS X apps. All this takes 220 mb of my HD and i was wondering if i could erase it to get a little more space. Can i erase this files?.
Thanks guys!

Don't erase them. They are used by Software Update, and by the Repair Permissions function of Disk Utility.

Can I use one 2tb external hard drive for time capsule and file storage?

I would like to use time capsule, but also keep the hard drive on my desktop for file storage. Can I do this?

Apple advises against doing that.
Any data stored on the disk that Time Machine is backing up to can not be backed up.
Plus the data outside of the Time Machine backup database cause problems when Time Machine starts cleaned up old backups to recover space for new backups.
For these reason it is advised that the Time Capsule disk be used for one or the other but not both.

.tdm file storage vi's slow editing vi's

I am developing software using Labview 8.5 and have recently added some file storage vi's for the .tdm format for use in DIAdem 10.2. Upon using the open storage, set file properties, write channel group, write channel, and close storage vi's, the editing has become extremely slow - for any operation I try to perform there is a 10-15seconds delay before it occurs. If I remove the .tdm vi's from my diagram then the editing goes back to normal and changes/operations occur almost instantaneously as expected. My project is not large as far as I am concerned (Front panel - 121k, block diagram=1538k, code=0.2k, data=957k, total=2617k, total vi size on disk=389k)
I saw a similar post to the .tdm storage vi's causing this to occur back in 2005 and was supposed to have been on the fix list but it does not appear that it has 3 years later. I am sure many others are using these vi's so not sure what I may have done differently to cause the editing to slow down so much.
Anyone with ideas and fix would be greatly appreciated as I cannot afford to sit around 10-15 seconds for every step of my developement.

Yes, sometimes Storage VIs are slow. But They are Express VIs, supplying the easy configuration for users. If you feel they are too slow, I suggest that you can use TDMS files instead.

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network? Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

Ok.. gottcha
The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
Factory reset universal
Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
SMB://10.0.1.2
Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

Azure File Storage - Creating a directory at the root level using REST

I have a Xamarin / iOS project, and looking to use Azure File Share as a back-end.
With that in mind, I'm playing around with the REST API and have generally got things working with (a) Blobs and (b) Account-level access to Files.
Specifically, I can successfully request a list of File Shares, so I have the general call structure worked out.
However, I'm stumped about the exact incantation necessary to create a new directory at the root level of a share.
I've tried the following three variants, but all result in Forbidden - Server failed to authenticate the request
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/subdirname1
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:07:25 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/subdirname1\nrestype:directory
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/subdirname1/
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:07:58 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/subdirname1/\nrestype:directory
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare//subdirname1
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:06:16 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare//subdirname1\nrestype:directory
I did note that trying to get the contents of an (empty) root directory doesn't behave quite the way I'd expect
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/
request.Query: ?resttype=directory&comp=list
string to sign: GET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:23:17 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/\ncomp:list\nrestype:directory
Authenticates OK, but generates FAILURE BadRequest - The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.
Which is different behaviour from pulling the list of blobs from an empty container (returns 200 with an empty xml list of blobs.
I've been through the File Service REST API document (dn167006) and found the azurestoragesamples on codeplex, but the former is unclear on working with the root level and the latter is from 2011 and predates File Storage.
Any insights?

First, thank you for the quick response and the suggestion about looking at the response content for the string to sign being used. I wasn't aware of that and obviously it's a fantastic resource for figuring this kind of stuff out.
And what it immediately revealed is it wasn't some subtle oddity in my construction of the STS, it was that I was doing a client.GetAsync(...) and not a client.PutAsync(...). DOH!
With that sorted, it was trivial to fix.
In terms of the List Directories and Files, though, there's still a problem.
FAILURE BadRequest - The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.
   request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
   request.AbsolutePath: /myshare
   request.Query: ?resttype=directory&comp=list

   string to sign: GET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 18:40:04 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare\ncomp:list\nresttype:directory
The response XML is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Error>
   <Code>InvalidUri</Code>
   <Message>The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.\nRequestId:33d61aed-001a-0020-0cbd-51aea8000000\nTime:2014-11-30T18:40:04.9712797Z</Message>
   <UriPath>/myshare</UriPath>
</Error>
I originally thought it might be because the share was empty. However, I'm targeting the same share in which I created (apparently successfully) the subdirectory.
So I'm still confuzzled on that.

CCM 2.0 - Files Storage for high volume of files

Hi all,
I have seen in one message the following information:
<i>1. Files storage.
My point is that I think you've created a virtual folder on the SRM Server in SICF, which means that all your files are stored internally in the database, and not physically on the server.
The most simple way is to create a physical folder on the server OS, and then create analias in SICF to this folder. You then will be abble to load in mass the pictures on the server using FTP, or network Share.</i>
I want to upload images in the Catalog (CCM 2.0) and in my case I have high volume of files. Where is the best place to stored this data, in the database or in the server?
And if it is in the server, how I can create an alias?
Many thanks!!
Regards

Hi ,
What we had done for image upload for CCM 2.0 was like this:
1. in SE80 go to MIME repository -> drill down to services -> bc /sap/bsp - >Create a personal folder
2. Import your image .jpeg in this folder.
3. Derive an URL with the structue : server name/domain name/services/file name
4. test this URL in IE browser ,it should open the picture in IE for you.
5. then paste this URL in the characteristic 'image' of an item in master catalog in CAT
with this in EBP we could see the photos of the items.

Question about Receipt files found in ~\Library\Receipts

Hi there,
I recently bought a Mac Pro and now installing all my software for music production. Although I'm new to Snow Leopard, I've been using Tiger for the last five years, so I do know a little bit about Macs. My problem is that for some reason there has been a Receipts folder installed on my Sample Library volume instead of my home folder's Library folder. I'm not sure if I should move the Receipts folder from my Sample Library into my home folder's Library or if I should just delete the folder all together... I'm pretty sure the folder shouldn't be in my Sample Library, even though I instructed the installer of the particular software (Native Instruments Komplete 6) to install all the samples onto my Sample Library volume.
Could anyone shed some light as to what I should do? I've also posted on the Native Instruments forum but I don't think many would know as a lot of them use Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Daniel

Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies. Inside are a bunch of receipt files for the actual audio files it looks like.
Here's a screen shot:
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/Screen%20shot%202010-09-10%20at%204.19.49% 20AM.png?w=b20232f9
I've emailed Native Instruments about it and hopefully they can give me some sort of advice. It's strange because I've installed other Native Instruments software before in the exact same manner and it never installed these receipt files. Weird.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Daniel

A way to qeury Azure File Storage direct from Automation?

Hello.
I am trying to create a runbook that will query a list of files in Azure File Storage. This works fine from a powershell prompt on an Azure VM, but it appears the same methods in Azure Automation return different objects:
Sample code to just list the files in a given folder:
workflow Get-AzureFileStorageInfo
# Get Azure File Storage Name and Key
$storageName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name 'File Storage Name'
$storageKey = Get-AutomationVariable -Name 'File Storage Key'
# Get subscription and certificate information
$subscriptionName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name "Subscription Name"
$connection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name "Azure Connection"
$certificate = Get-AutomationCertificate -Name $connection.AutomationCertificateName
# Set the current subscription
Set-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName $subscriptionName -SubscriptionId $connection.SubscriptionID -Certificate $certificate
Select-AzureSubscription -Current $subscriptionName
# get azure file storage context and share object
#$ctx = New-AzureStorageContext $StorageName $StorageKey
$s = Get-AzureStorageShare -Name $StorageName
# get list of files from Azure File Storage
Write-Output "Files in the DEMO folder..."
$DemoFiles = Get-AzureStorageFile -Share $s -Path "DEMO"
Write-Output $DemoFiles
I get this error when I run it:
6/02/2015 4:54:34 PM, Error: Get-AzureStorageShare : Cannot bind parameter 'Context'. Cannot convert the
"Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Common.Storage.AzureStorageContext" value of type
"Deserialized.Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Common.Storage.AzureStorageContext" to type
"Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Common.Storage.AzureStorageContext".
At Get-AzureFileStorageInfo:25 char:25
+
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-AzureStorageShare], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :
CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Storage.File.Cmdlet.GetAzureStorageShare
I am obviously calling it wrong from Azure Automation. Is there sample code online somewhere that can demo the right way to call it? Thanks!
Matt

Perfect. That worked! Thanks!
For others who might be following this I made the change as shown below:
workflow Get-AzureFileStorageInfo
# Get Azure File Storage Name and Key
$storageName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name 'File Storage Name'
$storageKey = Get-AutomationVariable -Name 'File Storage Key'
# Get subscription and certificate information
$subscriptionName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name "Subscription Name"
$connection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name "Azure Connection"
$certificate = Get-AutomationCertificate -Name $connection.AutomationCertificateName
# Set the current subscription
Set-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName $subscriptionName -SubscriptionId $connection.SubscriptionID -Certificate $certificate
Select-AzureSubscription -Current $subscriptionName
InlineScript {
# get azure file storage context and share object
$ctx = New-AzureStorageContext $Using:StorageName $Using:StorageKey
$s = Get-AzureStorageShare -Context $ctx
# get list of files from Azure
Write-Output "Files in the DEMO folder..."
$DemoFiles = Get-AzureStorageFile -Share $s -Path "DEMO"
Write-Output $DemoFiles

What is the file storage space in macbook air 2012?

what is the file storage space in macbook air 2012?

it all depends on what you'll be using it for - how much apps you plan on installing - how much music you have - how much videos you plan on saving in your macbook air.
i have a 2010 and 2012 Macbook Air - both came with 128GB - for my needs - it's fine.
As you can see from the image below - that is from my 2012 Macbook Air. Still have lots of space left.

Online file storage with access control and file manager integrated to APEX website

I have APEX 4.2 website with few user accounts. I would like to share approximately 100 GB of documents to users. Some documents will be public (in some public folder) and everyone with account in my website will be able to download that public files. And some files/folders will be with restricted access and only user with appropriate credentials will be able to download it.
I would like to find some cheap cloud file storage.
Some storage that offers plugin/component = file manager that will be integrated to my APEX website and authentication will be transparent to my users (authentication with some API or URL). Every user will see only his files. I want some ready to use component and call only minimum API.
I would like to integrate that storage to my website or call some user specific URL and redirect my user to some page with file manager.
All files will be read only for all users.
Thanks for some tips

what will you be using for your file manager? Or do you even know yet?
I do not have tons of experience but if I had to come up with a solution I would build the interface with APEX and use the database to store the files inside so you can control access.
You can create a procedure that takes in parameters like username, session id, encrypted session id from the browser cookie and either return the file or give the user an error message letting them know they arent authorized. You could use plugins to give the users a better file managing experience like the 'multiple file upload' plugin that allows AJAX based multiple file uploading.
Id put this on an amazon EC2 cloud micro instance. It's uber cheap.

What's the FASTEST file storage option ?

Hi all,
Im building an application in Java where indexing and storing of data is a major area of the app. It should be able to store the data as well as retrieve them rapidly as well as the files should be small in size.
Knowing Java's popularity with XML, I've chosen that as one candidate, but the problem is Im not too sure how the above 2 criteria will match with XML.
1) Is XML fast enuf considering retrieval of data ?
2) And how about the[b] storage sizes ?
Or should I scrap XML and build my own version file structure such as a B-tree ?
How difficult would that be considering limited development time ?
thanx in advance ....

Anyway to deal with this post piece by piece.
I agree with you that database infact rules out other
options when it comes to speed and storage. Im not in
anyway trying to abuse XML as a storage mechanism. If
I had the freedom to use a database, I know I wudnt
even hav posted this question, cos database wins
hands down in ease of programmin, maintain, store and
rapid response.
Okay first of all my post was not a personal attack against you. There are plenty of people who abuse or ty to abuse XML as a storage mechanism with extremely unhappy results. I want to make that point clear not just to you but to any future readers of this thread so that if they are considering such a course of action they should come back to reality.
It wud be insane to ask the client to
to install a DBMS jus to make sure the P2P app wud
run. As for the details about the solution, it is a
P2P app, but not to share content as such traditional
ones. Its supposed to help ppl arrive at better
seacrh results on a Web Search Engine.Well this was dealt with previously. In short using JDBC does NOT imply a full blown database server. It could be a standalone database like Access or you could write your own driver that accesses a proprietary file directly or you could use a plain text driver.
The point is that if you use JDBC you decouple your application from the storage. This is the important point. Because it means you can switch the storage mechanism as best fits you later without having to rewrite gobs of code.
>
As for the requiremtns, I need a storage mechanism
sm to store the rankings a user might have given
indivuidually per page or website. I need to store
them as well as access them anytime I want and share
them with the peers. Not only rankings I need to
store other deatils like the search string, the
datetime of the query etc.All the more reason to look at a database of some sort... an embedded database would be fine.
>
I will let you know more of the requiremtns as soon
on as I advance onto it. Right now Im not
concentratin on the storage part of it. ( Jus
thinking of goin ahead with XML ) and rather
implementing the P2P communication area. I was jus
doing some research on what would be the best storage
option for dealing with the app's "data". I read
on a book that B-Tress and such data structures can
actually be implemented on file storage thus giving
better performance. And also I was looking for
material ( white papers and such ) discussing the
various issues of each storage option available
currently which will stand as proof for the final
solution I am gonna take.
Okay here is the problem with all this. How do you think databases implement indexes?
Hint: while it is all in the end vednor specific the answer is some sort of tree structure.
So again back to the point if you want to write your own tree structure go right ahead... I think it's pointless but go right ahead. What you should do though is write it so that your application accesses this structure through JDBC so that later when you decide that re-inventing the wheel was not such a hot idea you can change the storage implementation without destroying your application.

IPod as file storage?

I've done it before, but it's been a while... how do you use your iPod as file storage? Say I want to use my iPod as backup storage for my picture files or some word documents, how do I go about doing that?

Click here and follow the instructions. Note that content on an iPod can easily be lost and it shouldn't be used as a backup device.

Comparison of file storage/viewing apps

Does anyone know of a good review site that would compare all the different file storage apps out there? I googled but I couldn't find anything recent.
Alternately, if you know one that you like, let me know. I have a 1st gen ipod touch so it needs to be compatible with that. Currently I'm using Air Sharing, but I'm annoyed that instead of updating it they've made Air Sharing Pro for a separate price tag. I might upgrade (for emailing of files and better PDF support) but I'd like to scope out the other similar apps before I make a final decision.
Specific questions about any app: Does it allow emailing of files? Does it have an orientation lock option? How does it handle PDFs?
Thanks!

I agree about professional reviews-- that's why my first question was if anyone could point me to a detailed comparison article at a review site. I'd definitely give that more weight than random user opinions, but those can also be helpful in pointing out specific details.
I'm sorry that I said I was annoyed in my first post-- that was too strongly worded. I just meant that I would have liked to just do a no-brainer update but now that they're all the same price I feel like I need to compare all of them and get the best one, so I don't regret it later and end up buying more than one. My default would probably be to just stick with what I'm using and look into updating it at a later date when if I feel like it isn't working for me anymore, but since its a limited time sale I am putting a couple minutes into posts like this to find out if there's some other app I should be getting instead. I certainly don't mean any offense to you or your company-- its a great app-- but there are competitors with descriptions that are very very similar, and without testing them or reading a detailed review, I don't know if they're better or worse.
