Textedit preferences: where are they stored?

I want to be able to copy Styles in TextEdit to new OSX's. I normally use iText Express instead of TextEdit (under OSX 10.6.8), and it's preferences were stored in an invisible file called .globalpreferences.plist inside the Preferences folder. Doesn't seem to be the case for OSX 10.8, so I've been playing around with TextEdit to see where it's style preferences are stored.
The interesting thing is: I can delete all preferences that mention TextEdit or globalpreferences, and both TextEdit and iText Express still retain the new styles I set up.
Does anyone know where the style preferences are stored?
As an aid to tracking this down: when searching for modified files, how do I set a search for Last Modification Date to the last few minutes?

Thanks Barney. Now some notes for my future reference (in case I forget how to do it) and for anyone else who wants to copy Style settings of iTextExpress (and I assume Text Edit) from one OSX to another.
Under  OSX 10.6.8
iText Express style preferences are stored inside the Users> Preferences folder in a file called .GlobalPreferences.plist. This file is invisible. It can be made visible by a utility called DesktopUtility.
Once made visible it can be copied and archived, but it cannot be copied back because an invisible file cannot be replaced. To replace an existing version with an archived version, the existing version must first be deleted.
Under  OSX 10.8.3
iText Express style preferences are stored inside the Users> Preferences folder in a file called com.apple.AppKit.TextFavorites.plist. The folder is invisible. It can be made visible by a utility called DesktopUtility. Once the folder is made visible, the preference file can be archived and copied to another OSX.
The contents of .GlobalPreferences.plist and com.apple.AppKit.TextFavorites.plist seem to be interchangeable. I copied the contents of the first (from OSXC 10.6.8) and put them in the second (in OSX 10.8.3) and up came all the Styles.

  • When I back up my musical files where are they stored?

    I got a nano a couple of years ago and put all my albums on it (synced through i-tunes). I hadn't used my nano for a few months and when I went back to it my library seemed to have been replaced.......is it possible that my teenage son overwrote the nano?. Where are my files actually backed up - would it be on the laptop I used during the backup process (even though I was signed on to I-tunes at the time) or are they in fact backed up remotely through the I-tunes site.
    It is all so confusing - and frustrating.
    I searched for my song library on my Click-free back up device but it does not seem to have stored the songs.....just stored the link to I-tunes.
    Could somebody direct me on how to solve my problem.
    cheers

    Your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and can be synced back to your nano as you did originally.  Have you opened iTunes and clicked on Music to see if your music is still there?

  • HT201077 I am a new iphone 5 user and set it up to use icloud to store pictures, etc. I set up my home computer afterwards, but only some pictures are on the icloud. How do I view the rest of my pictures on my  home computer? Where are they stored?

    Only some of my pictures are on iCloud that are currently stored on my phone. Where are the others? Why aren't all the pictures from my iPhone showing in the iCloud? I can't find the pictures I saved from my ipodtouch, either....

  • PS CS5 preset sizes, where are they stored?

    I recently installed CS5 Extended and I have so many special sizes for images stored for versions in the past and would like to import these
    so I don't have to start from scratch. Does anyone know where they are stored in the programs?  I have 4 for mac and converted over to 5 extended for
    windows?

    He's talking about saved, named preset sizes in for example the File New dialog.
    I hadn't made any size presets up to now myself, but one can use a method like the following  to find files stored from the various Photoshop features:
    Save your preset or whatever with a unique name, not likely to be used for any other file.
    Search your system for a file with that unique name, or with that name in its content.
    Windows Search leaves a lot to be desired, so step 2 may not straightforward, but it can be done.
    I have already found that the presets aren't stored in separate, discrete files.  Now I'm doing a content search and will report back here if I find where the presets are stored.

  • Lost contacts after reinstalli​ng - where are they stored on a mac

    My mac book pro crashed on me, so I reinstalled OS 10.5.8. I had all my files backed on an external harddrive, but now my palm desktop(palm 505 - software version 4.2.1) is empty, and my palm handheld is also empty. Where can I find all my contacts on my mac? hope someone can please help me!!!
    thanks in advance!!
    Post relates to: Palm V

    thanks for that info - I didn't know that about finding the library in 10.8 (obviously) -- and I was able to find the library and navigate my way to my catalog -- it looks like it's fine - in fact I was able to run the catalog manage, repair, optimize etc and it says everything is fine - however when I restart PSE and the organizer, my photos are still all missing from the albums.
    too late now, but tomorrow, I'll try to see if I can find that catalog in yesterday's time machine back up -- do you know if that's possible?
    I'm not really sure what happened - because when I started out today, things seemed to be working fine - it wasn't until I tried to add a new album that I discovered the issue with the missing photos.
    truthfully I don't care about the albums - they would be easy to reconstruct -- but I'd like to be able to delete the names of them and start again - but I can't seem to find info on how to do that.  the book I have doesn't give that basic kind of info - more info on using the tools to be creative.
    thanks so much for your help - you're very knowledgeable about PSE!!! and Mountain Lion which I've only been using for a few months.
    cheers, Lynne

  • Why don't I see shapes (created with my iPhone 5s) in creative cloud (for iOS) and used space in CC is 0 MB? Where are they stored?

    I installed Adobe Shape on my iPhone (iOS 8) and don't see, where the shapes are saved.
    In CC app for iOS there are no files (and used space in CC is 0 Mb). And I don't see my shapes in your other your apps (for iOS: Ideas, Photoshop Mix).
    How can I export shapes to any files storages?

    The CC app for iOS does not currently show assets in CC Libraries.  The app only shows assets in folders.  Check out this thread for details on how to get your shapes.
    How do I use shapes I create in Adobe Shape?

  • What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?

    Hi All,
    can anybody please answer this question
    What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    ROWID can be thought of as a pointer to the physical location (on disk) of the (table) row.
    From a ROWID value, Oracle can extract the file, block-within-that-file and offset-of-the-row-within-that-block. Using these, Oracle can directly access a disk block to retrieve a row.
    ROWNUM is a just sequence number of a row within a result set of a query.
    As said by other repliers, both are not stored. They are 'constructed' when you reference them inside a query.

  • Can't find mail download or mail preference folders in library, where are they?

    Can't find mail download or mail preference folders in library, where are they?

    adding backing vocals is a feature, I can't find them or how to do it.
    The backing vocals are software instruments, listed in the "Choir" section of the software instrument browser. Afaik, the basic GarageBand does not have these instruments. My "choirs" all came with the JamPacks. The JamPacks are no longer sold separately, but if you buy Mainstage 2, you will get all Jam pack instruments and loops to be used with GararageBand; and it is not very expensive (~23 € at the AppStore).

    time -  Where are they?   

    You can't view them on iCloud.com.  And photos (and other data) stored in your device backup can't be viewed, other than by restoring the backup to your device.
    If you want to view your photos on the web, for the time being you will have to add them to a shared stream (album) with the Public Website option enabled.  This will give you a private url to view them from a browser.

  • PDF Optimizer Settings: Where Are They Saved?

    PDF Optimizer Settings: Where Are They Saved?
    That is, the ones that you create and then Save.
    Also the default one which came along Acrobat Pro (i.e. Standard etc)
    Thanks

    They are stored in the Acrobat User Preferences Area.  The same location is used for Pro, Standard, and Reader.  But the exact location is OS dependant.
    Open up the JavaScript Console window and run this line of code. (instructions at the links below)

  • Check for Available Downloads... (where are they?)

    My daughter has purchased several songs from iTunes using her iPhone and my iTunes account. She never synchs with her Powerbook, so I can't do a Home Share to transfer them to my own, or any of the other computers on our home network. However, according to the iTunes menu, any song bought using our iTunes account should automatically download to my computer. At least that's how I set the preferences.
    But it's not working - when I go to the "Check for Available Downloads..." menu it tells me that all my purchases have been downloaded but these new songs are not in my Library. Is iTunes not recognizing that she has purchased them with the same account? (my credit card is certainly being charged using that account) So where are they? How do I get them on our other other computers - and eventually on our respective iPad and iPods?
    Any thoughts, instructions or clarifications on how this works, would be appreciated.

    Do you have automatic downloads turned 'on' for your account on your computer's iTunes ? If not then you can turn it 'on', but that will only take effect from the next purchase.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (it's not possible everywhere) then you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

  • Where are actions stored locally for Photoshop CC on a Mac (OS 10.9)?

    I've looked everywhere (on my start-up hard drive) and can't locate where Photoshop CC keeps actions locally. Even if I'm syncing to Adobe Cloud service, I assume there has to be a local version somewhere.

    Well, funny you should mention that...
    What got me started on this time-suck of a quest is looking into this folder:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC/Presets/Actions
    and discovering there were no actions to be found there! So, in my WTF moment, I went, where are my actions? Why is the Actions folder in my home library empty? That's not cool. (More importantly, will the little darlings survive the transition to CC 2014?) I could see them in the Actions palette, so, whew, they're still in tact, but that's what got me asking, Where are they? (Note that I use the tilde for "/User/[user name]" as a shortcut.)
    The other thing that threw me was this:
    The default actions with their .atn extension are living out in the open for all to see in
    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Presets/Actions
    So, not only did it seem like actions were still alive and well living as separate, .atn files, but that my own actions were intentionally being hidden for some reason.
    So, R_Kelly, I'll be curious, once I do the big install of CC 2014, if actions end up where you said to look because that would actually be a big change.
    It does seem like they are living in
    ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC Settings/Actions palette.psp
    because I made up some actions, synced up to the ol' cloud in the sky, and they came down to my other computer, so apparently that's how it works.
