Temp file save location

1st Why is Itunes creating so many temp files?
2nd Can I change where Itunes saves these file? They are saving on "my music" folder which is part of our server, wasting valuable space. If I have to have these files I would like to save them to my C: drive where my music is actually stored.

The right side column "More like this" leads to some discussions with temp-file problems. For instance here an useful answer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/12995935#12995935 and here https://discussions.apple.com/message/6162742#6162742
It seems iTunes has problems to write to the correct file (.itl) and creates temp-files. The fix would be to "unblock"/enable the writing process again, so you don't get any temp-files and don't need to store them someplace else.

  • File Save Location Enhancement

    I've been looking through forum posts and feature requests relating to file save behaviour and default file locations and reached the conclusion that either they weren't specific enough or were part of some larger scheme I didn't agree with. So I've posted a new feature request which would provide my preferred behaviour and, from what I understand of other posts and requests, is flexible enough to be configured to meet those of others.

    By default they go to your "Downloads/ My Downloads" system folder. Anything beyond that we cannot know if you changed soemthing...

  • Print Adobe PDF: Choose file save location

    Currently, when I select Print, then select Printer: Adobe PDF 9.0, and press Print, the PDF file is saved to my Desktop. Where is the preference setting to save the PDF file somewhere of my choosing?

    Thanks Lady Designer, your method works. However, it's too many steps for what I'll need to do. I have approximately 200 e-mail messages to print to file. It'd be much faster to select a message, Command+P, Enter, and continue with the next message. Your method requires the additional steps of clicking on the PDF button and selecting Save As PDF.
    You're probably thinking, "Why doesn't he just select all the messages and print once?" I tried that.
    When I choose to the PDF button and Save As PDF, no matter how many multiple messages I choose, only one of the messages turns into a PDF file. The other messages, despite being (apparently) processed, do not become PDF files. In fact, they become nothing; I know what happens to them.
    When I choose to print using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer, I'm not given the opportunity to select a destination for multiple files; they automatically print to the Desktop. All the messages, however, do become PDF files.
    Unless there's a way to select a file destination to which the Adobe PDF 9.0 printer can default, my choices are to either print-to-file each message one at a time; or print all the messages at once with the one method that works, but that will flood my Desktop with a couple hundred file icons. Although the mess lasts as long as it would take to gather the files into a new folder, I prefer to save myself the trouble.

  • Whre does oracle cache and temp files are located?

    Hi
    thank you for reading my post
    Please do not shoot me if i have misconception.
    I come from netbeans world and for netbeans there was some folder that we could delete to make netbeans cache fresh (so more speed).
    for Jdeveloper i can not find such folder and its some times that Jdev works really slow.
    once i delete the system directory and all my settings gone with that (specially server that i registered / database connection /libaries)
    what should i delete to
    -keep all registered server / librarye/database connections
    -make Oracle Jdeveloper to work like a new installation.
    thanks

    If you wish to exclude anything from the backup simply drag the item into the Exclude list. For example, you can save considerable space by excluding the /System/ folder. Cache files would be found in the /Library/ and /Home/Library/ folders. Each folder contains a folder named Caches. There is no specific folder in which temporary items as stored that is visible to the user because the operating system will usually delete temporary files on its own. This may not be the case for a specific program, however. Browsers may maintain their own reserved cache and temporary files, and manage them on their own.
    I do not think, however, that TM backs up caches or temporary files. I find no such items in my TM backup - only the folders. I do not back up my /System/ folder.

  • Export file save location

    Hi Guys,
    I want to know where exactly the export file gets saved.
    I have created a sample application on my personal system. It is ASO cube , i exported the application but i am not able to locate the file on the system. I would also like to know if the file saved will in which format.
    I am just learning the Essbase , so any help would be great.
    regards
    Ram

    Hi Ram,
    1- Enter the name of the export file. By default, the export file is given a .txt file extension. If you want to append a different extension to the file, enclose it in single quotation marks. Do not enclose the file name in double quotation marks.
    2- By default, Export file is stored in the application directory (ARBORPATH\app). If you want to store the export file in a different location, specify the full path for the location.
    3- To export data in parallel, specify a comma-separated list of export files. The number of threads used depends on the number of file names you specify.
    Hope it answers you.

  • The 2 year old fix for changing temp files is no longer valid, I need to change the temp file location in the latest firefox.

    In 3.6.3 I'm unable to find the parent cache to change where the temp files are located. I have an SSD drive, and I need to get the temp file off, and onto my platter drive. I have read the previous fix of about:config and changing the parent cache location, but it no longer seems to be there. I'm unable to locate anything relating to my SSD drive location in about:config.

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

    Unfortunately, it appears that what I wrote about not being able to find the location IN about:config of the cache to change it from my C: drive to a different location, was mildly misunderstood that I didn't know how to get into about:config.
    The location of browser.cache.disk.parent_directory does not currently exist in 3.6.3. I'm assuming it's under a different location. Also using the simple string of "cache" lists several options, but none of them appear to be where firefox is currently dumping the temp files onto my C:
    I merely need to know how to switch the temp file location from 1 drive, to another. Not downloads, the temp file.

  • Has Adobe Reader XI solved the File Save As Location issue

    Hi, As has been mentioned on a few threads, Adobe Reader X did not remember the last File Save Location.   And this causes a bit of angst amongst my users.  Can anyone tell me if this has been fixed in XI.  I don't have permision to downlaod and install to try it at work.

    "Save as" doesn't have a default location.  The base protocol for "Save as" enables a "browse" window by default in most ANY application.
    "Save" will save the file in its original location, but there is no preference for "Saving as".

    Our home directories (My Documents) are network mapped drives.
    I have tried the usual uninstall/reboot/install methods, each with the same problem.
    Is there a config file/registry entry where I could set a default file save location?
    Does anyone have any idea why it might be doing this?  Even better, someone with a fix would be great!
    Many thanks,
    Chris.

    Has it to do with networked mapped drives?
    Not in my case. But,
    Time consuming googling and much trial and error and irritations offered a working solution in this case.I suppose this is included the price and goes with the delivery.
    It was on some thread on PRE version 8 or something, where on the same problem someone suggested to create a new account and start PRE.
    Remarkably, among dozens of other well-meant, but not working solutions, this one worked:
    - Create a new account - any name (for safety's sake with administrative rights)
    - Logg off and log on with the new account
    - Start up PRE
    - Choose New Project
    This time default location was not grayed out: it showed: C:\Users\newaccountname\AppData\roaming....
    Moreover: clicking the browse button to save the project on a different directory or partition did not result in te 'serious error' message, as did before.
    So I saved the project in a new created directory on a different partition and changed the drive-preferences also to this directory. (hoping the problem was solved when I log in with my original account).
    So:
    - create an new directory for the PRE project somewhere else (not in 'users') 
    - browse to save the new project in this directory
    - change the preferences (edit>prefereneces>media+workdisk) so that all the locations refer to the directory of the newly created project (later to be changed if necessary)
    - close PRE
    But the next step to log off, log in on my first original account and start up PRE again resulted in the same error as before.
    However, the saved project of my newly created account was still there in the directory I saved it in (extension: .prel).
    So I tried to open PRE by clicking on this file with the extension .prel. PRE opened with no problem.
    So:
    - log off and log in with the original account
    - search for the new project file (extension .prel) and open PRE by clicking on the new project file.
    Then I saved the project again in the same directory, started up PRE and choosed New Project. This time the default location was not grayed out;
    it showed the directory from where I started up PRE with the file .prel. The browse button (to safe to a different location) worked.
    Then I erased the newly created account completely, logged off and in and started PRE from startmenu>programs. No problems.
    Finally:
    - save the the project again and close PRE
    - erase the newly created account(with account managament + manually delete directory \users\newaccountname
    - log off and log in on the original account
    - open PRE from startmenu>programs
    It is hardly to imagine, since this problem exists since PRE8 or earlier, this amateuristic way of installing PRE is part of the deal. Nor any solution has been suggested by Adobe since then, nor apparently taken into account in their new versions/updates.
    Disappointing.

  • CS5.0.3 Temp files on C during export even with scratch as E

    I have a small project that uses alot of Photoshop files as graphics templates. I thought that because I set my scratch disks to "E" that whenever I would export, it would use "E" as my temp location for any temp files generated/needed during exporting. But for some reason, my exports have been crashing because I'm running out of room on my C drive during the export. I discovered that during exports, there are several Photoshop TEMP files being created on my C drive - each like 3 GB, eventually filling up my C drive. (I confirmed that I set the export render location to E) After the render/export, these Photoshop TEMP files disappear on C. Is this expected behavior? Is there something obvious I can do to make sure all files go to a separate drive? Thanks!

    Adobe like many other applications use the Windows Variable Temp directory for cache files. As an example, if you export out of Premiere and select the queue to media encoder, it will show the C drive instead of the drive where the media is actually located with the Project file. That is because the source that media encoder is seeing is that Windows Variable Temp directory. You can change that by creating a Folder on the E drive called Temp. Then right click on Computer and go to properties. Select Advanced Settings on the Left and then Environment Variables on the bottom of that panel. You will see 2 Temp files and locations listed at the top of the Environment Variables Panel. Select edit and then type or copy/paste in the location of the temp directory created on another drive. Example - E:\Temp
    Restart Windows and then the Variable cache should be moving to that directory. Keep in mind that Windows uses those for allot of things. So if that drive is removed or fails you will take a very long time to boot and it will boot with errors.

  • Scratch Disc Full: Where are the temp files kept?

    Hi,
    I just tried to open a few of very large image files (9GB in total) and when I did I got the message "scratch discs full". Now I understand why that happened, but it seems to have eaten a whole load of disc space that wont come back. I've since closed photoshop, restarted my Mac, etc. but about 10 GB is still used up where it wasn't before. I can't locate any temp files anywhere (prefs only tells me the scratch disc is my Mac HD, not which folders it's in). Can anyone help me with this? Where are Ps temp files usually located on a Mac? I need those 10GB back!
    Mac OSX running Photoshop CS3
    Thank you!

    Hi again Chris (or anyone else who cares to contribute),
    My Mac's HD space continued to disappear and I have now, finally, located the cause (I think). I checked the system log (Stystem Profiler/Software/Logs/system.log) which was itself 4.5 GB in size (too large I think?). However, when I went to the file location (/var/log/system.log) I also noticed that the "asl" folder (in the same folder as the system log) was 20 GB in size!! Having read a few forum posts about similar issues, I took the risk of deleting both the system.log and the majority of files in the asl folder. This seems to have worked a treat (I now have 25GB returned to me).
    As I said in my original post, this all started happening when I opened a few very big Photoshop docs (ones with layers). Do you have any idea what caused / is causing this to happen? I haven't opened Photoshop since deleting the asl files, but new ones still seem to be appearing in the asl folder. They are tiny (100KB at most) but I'm a little concerned I haven't fixed the problem. Any suggestions?
    I can't see why new asl files would be appearing when I haven't even opened Photoshop.
    I'm running on OS 10.5.8
    Many thanks,
    Matt
    P.S. By the way, the size of the system.log seemed to be caused by a repeated message regarding RealPlayer, which I assume is unconnected, but I have included it below just in case (I've removed RealPlayer from my Mac to see if that helps, but the asl files still seem to be appearing):

  • TA27400 iTunes: Multiple temp files after iTunes Match subscription

    Since I subscribed the iTunes Match service I have a very annoying issue: a lot of temp files on my iTunes folder.
    My library is pretty big (24989 songs) and my temp file iTunes Music Library.xml is 42mb.
    Well, I never counted how many but I think that in one week I have to delete more than 100 temp files, all located in the iTunes folder and with the same size of the iTunes Music Library.xml (42mb).
    That's really annoying and give me also another problem with Native Instrument Traktor, sometimes the program can't recognize the Itunes Library file.
    That's really bad for a professional DJ.
    Another problem, the HD was corrupted, two times in 2 weeks, never happened before.
    It seems that iTunes Match service still have some problems or maybe is just my setup?
    I'm confused and worried.

    I see one temp file (named Temp File.tmp) in my iTunes folder (where the iTunes Music Library.xml file is located).  It is about one-third the size of the iTunes Music Library.xml file (pretty small).  Never noticed it there before.  Also, in my case at least, I don't think it has anything to do with iTunes Match, because it has a modified date of 12/30/2011.
    > Another problem, the HD was corrupted, two times in 2 weeks, never happened before.
    That's not because of iTunes Match...  Back up data, reformat drive, restore data.  If it happens again soon, the hard drive is probably starting to fail (bad sectors).

  • Lost document on my new MAC because I accidentally saved on another account that I had no permission to save to..now I don't know where the doc is but I just know its somewhere on the computer..maybe the temp files or something?!sos! please help me!!

    I saved a document, while logged in as a Guest, to another user account [it was set up for some reason to save like that (I guess the person who used computer last did that) and I didn't check before "saving"] on accident. Of course I didn't have permission to save on the other user's account but I was in a rush and so I figured everything was fine but later I found that there was a message warning me saying it did not save because it couldn't save because I had no permission to save on that account and gave me the option to duplicate or cancel.. I wasn't paying attention so I can't remember which button I hit but clearly it wasn't "duplicate"
    I took hours perfecting this document and now I can't find it.. anywhere!
    Where do these types of things go when this happens.. I know it's somewhere on the computer but where?? SOS I need the doc and I'm hoping I can find it
    I guess it's the same as someone who accidnetly hits "don't save"... question still stands.. please anyone help me!!!
    I'm trying to use Disk Drill but I only found things from November and it seems like it only shows files that have been physically/manually deleted..and my TIME MACHINE WAS NOT SET UP..because we recently got this MAC computer and had no clue what it was
    maybe its in some temp files somewhere..where do not saved documents go.. i know that it is probably writable but I know that is probably still exists
    ANYONE WITH INFO PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

    Jim
    Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
    cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
    that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
    thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
    chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
    original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
    memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
    software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
    would open up with my current problem.
