Saving iChat IMs - what gets saved & where?

I was looking for information that I received in an IM this past week and when I went to look for the saved IMs - I could only find a few. I thought all IMs saved as default, or are only ones that I initiated saved? Or maybe I am looking in the wrong place. I found the random saved messages in user>myname>documents>iChats. I IM to several family members each day, so should have a huge folder of saved IMs!

Hi Geraldine,
Interesting.
I used to try with ichat 2 and iChat 3 and can not remember if I have tried it with iChat 4
It may be a change within the Application's software.
After some random testing I found I can pull my own pictures for 2004 iChats and at least one I found as an incoming pic from around the same time.
I also tried some that were marked as File downloads in the chats and they seem to be stored in /Private/Var somewhere. (it's a support sort of folder that is Hidden normally)
I shall remember this. Thanks for the heads up.

  • So what gets installed where?

    I'm looking forward to installing the new ODAC and Developer tools. But what gets installed where?
    1) I assume the developer will need the Developer Tools plus ODAC on his client machine. My developers use both Oracle Express databases and Oracle EE databases on Unix servers. Do they need a separate Oracle Home for the Oracle Express client? Is it instaled in the Oracle Home for the Oracle Express database itself or it's own home?
    2) What, if anything gets installed on the Biztalk server? Plain Oracle client or Oracle Client plus ODAC?
    3) My Windows machines have ASO-enabled clients already. Should the ODAC be installed there if I want to connect to ASO-enabled databases?
    4) Is anything required for the user of the application other than the .Net runtime?
    So many questions.. So ignorant..

    ODAC stands for Oracle Data Access Components and Oracle Developer Tools is one of the components. The install lists all the components and you can choose one or more from the list.
    Developer would have to install the appropriate components from the ODAC install. ODAC install is available only for Windows platforms so these components cannot be installed on Unix servers. ODAC install also cannot be used to install components in Oracle Express Home. You can install ODAC components in an existing Oracle 10gR2 Home or in a new Oracle Home.
    You need ODP.NET runtime in addition to .NET runtime to run ODP.NET applications. ODP.NET runtime is nothing but ODP.NET component in the ODAC install.

  • What Gets Installed Where in Logic 8?

    Hi.
    Is there any way to find out which files get installed and their locations? I have to re-install Logic 8 on a reformatted computer (running Tiger -- it's an old G4) and the installation quits during the 1st Jam Pack disk, saying to try again. Over and over the same thing happens. So I thought I might be able to copy files from another computer where Logic is installed and works perfectly.
    Logic 8 used to work on this computer before I had to do the reformatting.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Ahh now I see...
    I think the minimum Install is around 6,9 Gigs for LP, STP, Mainstage and Compressor including the Application Support/AU-components/Channel Stripsettings/EXS patches/Space Designer stuff and so on. This has to live on the system dive and you should install it using the Installer disk.
    The Jam Packs 1-5 plus the Apple Loops (around 26 Gigs) can be copied from drive to drive, the only problem there is that you will have to reindex the Library so that Logic knows where to find it's content. After installation just drag the Jam Packs and Loop folders from the external drive into the Library on the right of the Arrange, Logic will then reindex everything and you're ready to go.

    Here to help shed some additional light on this case, jdondr. I also own a Maxx. With your phone, if you access the Gallery, there should be a folder named: Messaging.  If you look at the upper left hand corner, you should see a drop down box. Is it currently set to Albums?

  • Installing the update to InDesign CC 2014 it only gets to where it says "Finishing," hung up at this point for a week or more. What now?

    Installing the update to InDesign CC 2014 it only gets to where it says "Finishing," hung up at this point for a week or more. What now? In the CC Activity Stream it is not listed as a program I have updated, so I am sure it did not finish. If it is stable as is I do not have to upgrade at this point -- just started an important project and stability is my biggest concern. But I do want to know how to complete installing  this upgrade.
    Thanks,

  • Does my iMac come with antivirus? What's best antivirus to get? Where to find?

    Does my iMac — purchased within the last two months with Version 10.7.3 — come with antivirus? I can't find it on my system. If not, what's the best antivirus to get? Where do I find it?

    It's integratedd into OS X. You don't need any anti-virus software. See:
    Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan and Virus Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip.
    To check for the trojan: Anti Flashback Trojan 2.0.4.
    A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. Or the preferred method is to use Apple's protection tool: Flashback Malware Removal Tool 1.0.
    Or, open Software Update. If you do not have the Apple protection software installed it will download and install it via Software Update. If no update appears that means you either already have it installed or it isn't needed for your system. The software is only available for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion versions of OS X.
    Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
    For general anti-virus protection I only recommend using ClamXav.

    Although we are continents apart - Australia (Perth) vs North America (US), we will not let time zones interfere with getting your Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 working.
    1. The usual Premiere Elements 8 drill.
    a. Are the automatic features of Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer turned Off?
    For Background Rendering, see Premiere Elements workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General. For AutoAnalzyer, see Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options.
    b. Are you running the program from the 8.0.1 Update? If not, see Help Menu/Update?
    c. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1?
    Apple - QuickTime - Download
    2. The usual computer drill....for your Windows XP 32 bit (SP3, I presume)
    a. Is computer opitimized, defragmented, etc.
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    b. Are you running your computer from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? That is important for Premiere Elements 8 as well as for its
    required QuickTime. In addition, right click the computer desktop icon for Premiere Elements 8 and select and apply Run As Administrator.
    3. Project Specifics
    For now, import your source media into the project from the computer hard drive using the project's Get Media/Files and Folders. Leave the Elements Organizer and Albums out of the equation for now. We will circle back to it soon after we decide everything else is working as it should be.
    a. You need to set a project preset. And, that project preset should match the properties of your source media. So important to know properties of source media.
    b. When you import your source media into a project you will get a red line over its content if the project preset is not a match - either because you set the wrong one or the program does not have a match for your particular video. That red line means that you are not seeing the best possible preview of what is being played back in the Edit area monitor. To get the best possible preview, you hit the Enter key of the computer main keyboard to get a rendered Timeline (red line goes from red to green after this type of rendering). That green line over your rendered Timeline indicates that you are now getting the best possible preview. This is solely a preview thing. Longer story, but I will leave it at that for now.
    c. Check Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks to assure that those Scratch Disks are being saved to a computer hard drive location with enough free space to accept them. Make sure that you do not have pile ups of previews files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files.
    See Local Disk C\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Adobe\Premiere Elements\9.0
    Never move, delete, or rename source files after they have been imported into a project which has been saved/closed. Otherwise, nasty media disconnect problems. You have only copies of media in Premiere Elements. The originals are on the hard drive, and the project must trace back to the originals where they were at import.
    Based on the above, try to start a new project. But, let me know ahead of time what you will be importing into the project. I am looking for
    Video
    video compression
    audio compression
    frame size
    frame rate
    interlaced or progressive
    pixel aspect ratio
    If you do not know, we could try to get that type of information from knowing the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
    Photos
    Pixel dimensions and how many photos?
    Lots and lots of details, but eventually they all mellow into one workflow that you can customize for your projects.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions or to ask for clarification. We can go at whatever pace you feel comfortable with.

  • Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

    Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

    The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1.  However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind.  Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways.  iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... .  Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
    track and disc number fields for video media kinds
    show and episode fields for music
    description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
    Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI.  There are couple of workarounds:
    in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
    you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
    It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
    One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners.  Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

  • Shared Data Partition + Lion + Snow Leopard - What files go where?

    I have partitioned my new internal drive into 3 (which is currently in a enclosure).
    The 1st Partition reserved for Lion
    The 2nd for reserved Snow Leopard
    And the 3rd reserved for a shared Data parition
    I'm not enirely sure how to divde up the files. What should be put on the Data parition?
    And how to direct each OS parition to access the shared data partition?
    I would appreciate advice and example(s). Detailed information is always welcome.
    Thank you.

    I really don't know, and don't know if there's a list anywhere of Mac apps.  Mail seems to change with every release (and even some "point" updates).  I think Calendar is one, too.
    This list of 3rd-party apps is unofficial, but seems pretty reliable as far as what will run where: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    As you'll see, it's mostly geared towards Lion vs. Mountain Lion (and in a few months, will be Mountain Lion and Mavericks).
    You'll probably have to use some trial-and-error, and/or contact the makers of the apps you use.
    I am not familiar with using any kind of software as a Virtual Machine how would this work?
    I'm not very familiar with it, but you install 3rd-party software that lets you run one OS within a different one, rather than having to boot into one or the other.  Basically, it puts a Virtual Machine folder containing one whole OS installation on the disk of another;  it runs concurrently with the other OS, in a separate window (or multiple windows for different apps, I think).  There are some downsides, especially performance, but a lot of folks do it, usually to run Windows, but some to run Snow Leopard on Lion or Mountain Lion.  There may be some restrictions on the Snow Leopard license, too -- Apple didn't allow that for OSX at all for a long time, except for the Server product.  I don't know what the rules are now.
    Parallels and VMware are two I see mentioned often.  I seem to recall reading about a free one, but as it's pretty complex software, I'm a bit skeptical. 
    I don't know where else to point you, but that should get you started on research.  Look for those apps and/or Virtualization Software to find more.
    Good luck!

  • Today I imported quite a lot of Audio CDs. When I wanted to listen to them I realised that most of them aren't in my library. And they did not appear in the recently added list either. Can anyone tell me what happened and where to find them? Thanks!

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I'm unable to import cover art to my MPEG-4 movies that I've imported into iTunes. What gives? Where is the artwork tab?

    I'm unable to import cover art to my MPEG-4 movies that I've imported into iTunes. What gives? Where is the artwork tab?  I'm running iTunes 11 on my Windows 7 laptop.

    I thank you for the response.  Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them.  Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is.  A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party.  A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped.  Unbelievable!   The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible.  Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar?  WOW!
    As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to?  I see no Options tab in iTunes.  Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well.  Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
    Thanks again for your help.
