What about the internet temporary files?

Hello! I'm a quite new to Mac and I would like to know if, as I used to do with my old Windows, there is the need to do some 'spring cleaning' and deleate the internet temporary files. I can't bear the idea of collecting files but also I don't know where the settings are for the span of time the computer collects these files.
Thank you. flpd

Hi flpd welcome to Mac!
Cookies:
In Safari go to 'preferences' and then click the tab under 'security' - you'll see that you have options for cookies. You can view them, delete individual ones or remove them all.
Cache:
Safari stores pages in it's cache. You can clear this by clicking 'safari' and 'empty cache'. You also have 'Reset Safari' that clears the cache, passwords, history, cookie and a few more other bits. Be advised though that Safari runs slower for a while immediately after you've cleared it.
There's also a program called Onyx that is free and very useful. The hyperlink's below:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
You can adjust the speed of Sarafi, run maintenance scripts and clear your user, system and kernel caches. Again, on initial boot up after emptying these caches your system will temporarily run slower until it builds up the caches again.
However the maintenance scripts are really good at keeping your system in tip top condition - just make sure that your computer is on (not asleep) as the scripts wont run.
Hope this helps

  • C: SSD, D: HDD 5400 - works well but what with the media catch files??

    Hello there, I'd like to ask a question:
    I do not have a lot of money to spend, so I'm not really enthusiastic about buying new hardware. I just bought a new SSD - Samsung 840 Pro 128GB (C: drive) and installed beside Win7 64bit, the CS6 Premiere Pro. By that I have a WD 1,5TB 5400 harddisk (D: drive). I know you recomend a 7200 disk, but as for the money situation, I just wanted to try it. Everything worked fine at first glance, but then I searched the internet and came to Harm Millaards discussion about the Media Catch Files - as it's no good idea to put them on the SSD disk. This was standard in preferences set to the C: SSD, so I switched them to my D: drive instead of the C:. The same I did about the Scratch disks/files (don't actually know what they are though :-/). Is this correct?
    After the change of the Media Catch files to D: the playback while editing is not quite well working anymore. Did I do they right steps and does this then mean I should buy a HDD 7200 for the media catch files and as a scratch disk (which I don't understand what it is)? Will that help, or should I do something else to have it working as it was working when these files were saved on the SSD?  
    Thanks a lot for your help, Thomas
    PS. other hardware I have:
    8GB RAM
    intel i5 2500K procesor
    Geforce 295

    The pagefile is a dedicated file created and managed by Windows. It has no relation with PR. Windows uses it as a virtual memory file to store data that don't fit in the physical memory of your system. The lower your physical memory, the more Windows uses the pagefile. It is somewhat similar to growing older and you need to remind more stuff, but you tend to forget, so you write it down.  On all systems I suggest to use a static pagefile, on that has minimum size and maximum size the same dimensions, so for instance a fixed size of 32 GB. If you do not make it static, but let Windows manage the size, as is default, you can get fragmentation of this file and it requires - on each change of size by Windows - new writes to the FAT, which reduces the lifespan of your SSD.
    Your setup is exactly what my analogy alluded to. You are right.

  • What is the list of file prefixes that make a file appear first in the finder?

    Hi!
    I was just curious :
    What is the list of file prefixes that make a file appear first in the finder?
    For example, files and folders whose names start with "A" will appear before files whose names start with "B",
    but what about a list of characters for files and folders before the letter "A"?
    I'm doing some file organisation, and I need certain things to appear at the top of the list.
    I have noticed that the character-prefixes "0" and "(" seem to make things appear before "A"
    I would like a complete list if there is one available.
    Thank you!

    Pretty much any number or a space character. Punctuation does too, in theory, but I'd advise to limit it to hyphens and underscores. Periods are OK in the middle of file names but you won't be able to start a file name with one at the Finder level since that would actually hide the file.

  • What is the src.zip file used for?

    Just a few more question please.
    I've read through the JPDK install docs and it doesn't mention anything about the src.zip file. I noticed it has many references i'm interested in. What is this used for?
    I've loaded the EM and redeployed the ear file for the Oct JDPK. I've noticed after registering the Provider that about 1/2 of the Sample apps have a status of Loaded. But many indicate Not Loaded. For example: ExternalAppFlights. How do I get these loaded?
    Thanks
    Chase

    Hi Chase.
    oops i forgot to answer the second part of your question.
    The file integrating.external.provider.v2.html at %pdk_extract%\pdk\jpdk\v2\doc\externalApp contains all the details to deploy Fights of Fancy Application.
    Just go through the document & should be through.

  • What are the .fm.sp files that are created when using SharePoint?

    What are the .fm.sp files that are created when using SharePoint? When I'm working with SharePoint, I've noticed that duplicate files ending in .fm.sp are created. I've been unable to find any reference or documentation about them so far.

    Whe you use sharepoint as a CMS connections in Framemaker it creates the folder where Sp is installed and also a file ending .sp is created that let SP know that its the file associated with it.
    .fm.sp indicates that its the framemaker type SP file.
    Dont worry about it as its not creating any mess in the system.

  • What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

    What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

    Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

  • I want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd?

    i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?

    The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but  there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
    Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
    * which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
    This might help
    For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
    Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
    Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic...

  • Mifi 4510L Mifi Hotspot...is it the network? and what about the firmware update?

    I have spent several months trying to seek a solution on the repeated and frequent disconnects from the Verizon wireless network using my Mifi 4510 L.  No success.  I have conversed with Verizon Wireless "experts" on this matter and have basically been ignored, since they do not have a solution. It has cost me a pretty penny in wireless costs due to lost connections in downloads, etc...for which I do not get any credit from Verizon on my wireless bill...go figure.
    I have even been accused by Verizon that the problem is my computer and hardware, even though I have ran several hardware, software, and "real-life" connection checks on other wireless networks with no issues at all.  I even have been getting better connectivity when I use my Verizon USB UML290...but I hate having to switch moving my SIM card from the USB Modem to the MIfi4510L...one of these days the SIM card will fail. Verizon has checked the signal strength at my home and work locations (which I already knew as good), but never heard back from them.
    Anyway,  I have verified that my wireless network adapter works just fine on other wireless networks (no dropouts, etc).  I have even upgraded to another Windows Operating System - Windows 7...which is more superior than Vista in dealing with wireless communications.  I have implemented quite a number of the solutions provided by other great Verizon Wireless Community members, but the connectivity problems continue to occur.
    When I did a review of my wireless hardware logs, I noticed that when I was encountering problems, the dynamically assigned address given to me on the Verizon Wireless network changed quite a bit, even when I was using the same web site. When my wireless connection worked fine, the dynamically assigned address was consistent.  This seemed to change when I encounter peak network load times. 
    I would appreciate a straight answer from Verizon Wireless on what is going on with the network.  I live in a solid 3G coverage area...but just far away from 4G to benefit for the increased throughput.  The closest 4G location footprint is about 40 miles away from me.
    Finally, what about the Mifi 4510 L firmware update?  I have yet to see any notification about this firmware update, either through normal e-mail channels or even through my Mifi configuration site
    http://192.168.1.1/mifi.cgi
    What gives?
    I realize that I am sounding a little perturbed about this matter, but it has been almost 4 months now...and Verizon is not living up to their part of the bargain on providing good tech support on the Mifi 4510L.  When they do not have an answer...they ignore the customer.   Not good business!!!

    The firmware update was released a few weeks ago and there were multiple threads in this forum for it:
    Software Update: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L
    The firmware update primarily addresses a problem with the MiFi switching from 3G to 4G and back.  I would not expect it to resolve a connection issue for anyone in a 3G only area.  Work through the firmware update instructions included in the link above and see if it helps. 
    There were no email notifications but the MiFi should have been redirecting you to the MiFi homepage every time you tried to browse the internet.  The firmware update is mandatory so if you have not already completed the update then there might be something wrong with your device.

  • What are the basic .jar files to be set in web dynpro project classpath

    Hi,
    I am having a problem while customizing the ESS. I used DTR, DC and imported configuration. After that, I created project from one of the DC(say ess/jp/addr). Later when I open an iView from any Web Dynpro component, I am getting lot of errors without even making any modifications.
    I closed the project and reopened it and reload & rebuilt, but it doesn't solved my problem. In my classpath settings I couldn't find any jar files except the jre_lib. Could you please let me know what are the basic jar files we have to set in classpath and where to get them from. We are using NWDS 7.0.06 version.
    Can you please let me know how to solve this or any other way to work around this.
