User Library "Caches" missing/invisible?

This is a problem that seems to have happened since I installed SL.
I am scanning my CD booklets into my Macbook Pro, basically so I can read them more easily using the zoom facility. Using an app called CdPedia, they were stored as follows:
file:///Users/meng/Library/Caches/Metadata/CDpedia/eli-b-f.jpg
However, the Caches folder containing all my jpg's has vanished (although the Main Library Caches folder is still there). No problem, I thought, I'll just restore from Time Capsule.
But no - I go into TC (backups back to March 2009) and there's no User Caches in there either, no matter which backup I look at. (As a separate issue, spotlight doesn't seem to work in TC either so I am unable to search for any jpg's.)
So can anyone speculate as to whether I've lost all my pics, or are they still there somewhere but hidden from me? And why doesn't Spotlight work in TC?
I'd appreciate any thoughts or speculation. Thanks.

Time Machine excludes most caches. It backs-up the <user>/Library/Caches folder to preserve the structure, but excludes the contents.

Photoshop CS6 files saved to User/Library/Caches/Temporary Items

Many of the users on my school network cannot save their Photoshop files to a specified folder. Instead the files are automatically saved to User/Library/Caches/Temporary Items folder.
I've changed the File Handling Preferences with no results in changing this issue. Since a couple users did not experience this problem, I'm wondering if it might be a permissions problem.

With the new versions, you have to be more precise with Folder redirection :
com.apple.MCXRedirector

Adobe moves project file to User/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems folder when I export using Encoder

Ever since the Adobe Premiere CC 2014 update, Adobe has consistently been moving my project to the User/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems folder whenever I export using Encoder. It adds a "_1" each time I export so eventually I have to resave (and rename) a project entitled, "Project_1_1_1_1_1_1" to the folder it was originally saved in. HOWEVER, this only happens when I drag my sequence to a preset in Encoder. If I export from Premiere and then queue it to Encoder, there is no problem.
I contacted Adobe and the man who assisted me proceeded to delete all of my preferences and told me my problem was now fixed. However, it still happens.
Has anybody else had this problem?

Sorry, I should have made it clear that the exercise I asked you to try was just a troubleshooting step to confirm whether the project gets moved when it's originally saved to the default location. I didn't mean to suggest that you should limit yourself to saving your projects there.
The next step would be to save a new project to your preferred path, then export and check whether the project remains where you save it.
But now I'm confused as to what the actual problem is since you say that "a copy of my project does exist in the original folder." Are you saying that when you export to AME, Premiere somehow loads the temp project? If so, what exactly are you basing that conclusion on? Perhaps posting a pair of screenshots of Premiere's title bar before and after exporting would help. That will show the path of the project.

How do I move users, including my user library (which is invisible) to a different hard drive?,

I have two 750 GB hard drives in my new mac mini. Lion is installed on hard drive A and I want to move users to hard drive B. I have dragged the user files from HD A to HD B and have re-mapped the users to the folders. Turns out, in Lion the users libraries are hidden and won't copy. I can unhide them (using Finder, go to folder, ~/Library, GO). But it will not let me copy the library folders because it is invisible.

Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder and paste this to unhide the user library:
sudo chflags nohidden ~/Library
Hit enter and put your password in.

Continual library cache misses in trace file for spatial queries

Hi all,
Could somebody explain to me how the SQL parse engine works for spatial queries.
My understanding is that Oracle creates a hash value for SQL that is parsed with no errors. This hash value is then stored in the library cache ready to be matched against other incoming SQL statements. This provides one of the main reasons for using parametising SQL in languages such as PL/SQL, .Net etc and improves performance on query intensive applications.
However i have noticed that for spatial, any queries except for refreshes of identical ones already sent, the SQL engines re parses the query. This can take upto 0.2 seconds which is causing a performance bottle neck.
When looking at the full trace file of a single spatial query using SDO_FILTER with a query window the amount of additional internal queries that are performed is quiet a lot. Are these additional queries included in the total parse time?
I am wondering why for spatial queries the only way to get a hit in the library cache was to refresh an exact same SQL that had been previously sent?
Thanks
Daniel

Those additional internal queries are not included in the parse time,
if they are used in the execution time.

USER/LIBRARY/CACHES/WINE/FONTS

i am not sure if i should trash this cach folder. i had codeweavers crossover installed, but i trashed everything i could find for this application. i think crossover used something called wine, but i am not sure if this cach folder is related to it or not. thanks for your help.

If you don't use WINE or Crossover then you can obviously trash the folder.

Intermedia performance as respect to the library cache

I have been trying to tune intermedia indexing on its creation (oracle 8.1.7). My developers try to index some data. There are only 30K rows for 2 tables. Table 1) 2 columns
1 varchar2(50) and 1 char(1)
table 2) 2 columns
1 varchar2(50) and 1 blob
Average Row size for table 1 (918 bytes)
and table 2 (614 bytes)
When loading the 30k rows it takes approx 7.5 hours on a box that has 4 risc cpus, 8 gb ram, and the db files are raw. My breakdown for SGA (1gb shared pool, 256 megs buffer cache, 120 megs large pool, 960 megs java pool,128 megs sort area size and my db_block_buffers is set to 32 meg).
During intermedia indexing I noticed that the system is performing well except for library cache misses (94%). I have tried increasing both the shared_pool and session_cached_cursors to 100. Niether option helped. My dictionary hit ratio is around 97% very good. No IO contention. The index creation is local so the network is not an issue. The box is also dedicated to oracle database only no other applications. My user base is consists of 1 developer for now. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Library Cache for Adobe Bridge CS4

I'm trying to clear up space on my harddrive for my macbook, and in my library folder, there is a cache folder which then has various adobe products. The Adobe Bridge CS4 folder has almost 20 GB of stuff in it. Can I get rid of this (safe to delete)? Why does it build up so much? Do I need to periodically manage this manually? Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The cache folder for Bridge can grow to huge proportions because it keeps
information for all earlier cached files. After quitting Bridge you can
delete this folder (user library/caches /Adobe/Bridge CS4/cache) by dragging
this to the trash and empty bin to make space on your HD.
Restarting Bridge creates a brand new cache folder in this place but this
one is empty. Therefore you will need to recache all files you want to show
at high quality in the preview window again because with deleting this data
the cache with all previews (including the HQ preview that are mainly
responsible for the huge size) from previous cached files will also be gone.
Personally I use this method on a regular base including restarting Bridge
holding down option key to refresh preferences, this gives a fresh start for
Bridge.
I mainly use Bridge for sorting, rating and adding metadata and once the DNG
files I want have been developed they are transferred to my archive and
don't need to be in the cache file anymore
So with keep in mind that you need to recache the current files you are
using (takes some time depending on amount and size of the files you can
safely delete the current huge cache file.
Can I get rid of this (safe to delete)? Why does it build up so much? Do I
need to periodically manage this manually?

Delete library cache

I deleted my some of user library cache ...however, a bloc of items required entering my keychain/login pw to delete....so I thought twice and here I am asking if the cache items requiring a pw are also safe to delete?

I've still got a Lion Server (hopefully moving to ML Server today if I can get the farking certs to work right) so that's good to know. To give my post context (in case others arrive here) what brought me and to Apple Care and back was the fact I was getting random hard lockups on my system (albeit, custom built). I would see these in the logs every time:
12/19/12 1:06:13.000 PM kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(89688) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd
12/30/12 11:41:50.000 AM kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(79986) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd
12/30/12 1:07:13.000 PM kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(6043) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd
1/3/13 10:49:11.000 AM kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(174) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd
Deleted cache, still locked up
1/3/13 1:55:00.000 PM kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(10713) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd
I couldn't find any infoz on "com.apple.coresymbolicationd" but found it in the cache. After finding out it was OK to delete the cache, I tried again. Still locked up. I then found a .plist file in /system/library/launchdaemons and moved it. Not a lockup since (fingers crossed).
I know that's not info you asked for, but I like to provide what I can in case other folks happen upon it.
Have a great weekend!

Missing/Invisible flash library graphics

Hi,
I recently got the free trial of Flash CC on my computer at home to work on a few projects that I am working on at my schools computers, which have CS5. Recently when I went onto the schools CS5 Flash, I imported my project which was a Flash CC project onto the computer and all of my library graphics apear to be invisible or maybe missing. All I see on stage is the center point (forgot what the little white circle is called) for each of the assets. I can still see the path of the tweens, the white center point is still there, and each graphic is still in the library, its just no image appears. Note, I have done this before (importing CC files onto CS5) and it has worked just fine.
Update/Edit: Ive noticed that only the graphics that I made from scene two (edit: two and one) of my three mutliscened project are missing. Meaning, I worked on my Scene 2 at my house and the schools computer, went home and worked on scene 3, and then I went back onto my schools computer and now all of my graphics that I made during Scene 2 are invisible...
Sorry if this is confusing,
Thanks for the help.

Update: I am able to see the graphics that are missing/invisible in the library, but I am not able to access them for what ever reason, meaning when I double click the graphic icon next to the name in the library it doesnt open up a new page for that graphic, and also the preview for the graphic in the top is blank. So its almost like they wern't loaded in.

Mail complaining Mail folder missing in the User Library

Has anyone encountered this issue? I ran a recent update for Mountain Lion and after the update Mail could no longer find the Mail folder in the User Library even when the folder is still there and coughs up the Mail folder missing error message. I've tried rebuilding permisions even replacing the Mail Folder to no avail. can anybody help?

Bee,
Thanks for the reply. Bee, I am aware that the user library is hidden. That isn't the issue I'm afraid.
What is happening is that when I launch Mail, it coughs up an error message saing that it cannot find the Mail folder in the ~/user/library. The weird part is that the folder does exist but Mail just doesn't see it.

There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

It says 'To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.'
However I only have one account. I've tried to sign out and in several times. But it doesn't work. I do remember changing my password recently. Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie. I updated the mountain lion, thinking I'd get the iphoto and imovie done later. However now this problem has come up. Thanks for responding. Hoping to hear from you soon again regarding this.

Users library folder is missing

I have two users set up, in my principal user account (has admin rights) I can see all folders EXCEPT the Library folder, I only discovered this recently when wishing to delete a preference file from this users library. The other users library is visible as normal.
I have only recently noticed this and attribute it to a change since:-
Updating to 10.5.5
Starting to use Time Machine
Or possibly changing the computers short name some weeks ago
I had not needed to look in the users Library folder prior to now so am not sure when this folder "disappeared" or became hidden.
Can anyone suggest why and/or how I can make this users Library folder visible so that I can delete the preference file that is corrupt.

Thanks Neil - Problem solved and I´ve saved a couple of new Applescripts for checking and reset in case (and when) this happens again.
Lets hope Apple discover the reason for random changes to file flagging and apply to a future update.
Again, thanks for your quick response.
