What if i can't find the xprotect.meta.plist file?

So, there's a lot of this going on today. I'm on OS X 10.6.8 and still running Java 6, but getting the inactive plug in screen and nothing coming up in the software updates. I've removed it an reinstalled it, but it's still a no go.
SO I think I may just be in trouble here. I need to remove the infamous xprotect.meta.plist file which has blocked java (I know it's unsafe software, but I'm REALLY NOT HAPPY with Apple right now for doing this without warning.) BUT, for whatever reason I don't have the folder which should contain it, nor does the file come up in a search.
Any suggestions? Or should I leave this to the guys and gals in the genius bar??

Any attempt to circumvent the protection offered by xprotect is very foolhardy.
Apple has barred Java from running on Macs, leaving companies that rely on Java plug-ins out in the cold.
Apple blocked Java 7 Update 11 by adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
This is the second time in two weeks that Apple has blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple has apparently decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.

Where can I find the iPad back up files on my PC?

Try "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup".
If Moible Applications is inside iTunes instead of your media folder then you should consider using File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder>".

Where can I find the "install.flashplayer" exe file after downloading it

I successfully downloaded flash player for Firefox 24 several times (with no error messages), but I can't find the exe file anywhere. Where is it? I uninstalled a previous Flash Player version with Windows uninstaller by mistake, and now I don't have any flash player. I can't tell if javascript is enabled. My Windows 7 64-bit system requirements are met. What can I do? I've followed the Adobe instructions, but nothing I've tried has worked. Can anybody help?

Downloads usually go to the Downloads folder. Try downloading it again from
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Redirect to "can't find the i-web page"/file name change

i published a website thru mobileme (http://www.hale-o-lani-aloha.com). when i type my website address in e-mails and check the link, i sometimes got directed to a page that said "we're sorry but we can't find the i-web page you've requested..." (yes, i've checked my typing!)
when i created my sitemap (with rage sitemap automator), i was told that the apostrophe in the file name for my first page was probably causing the problem. my file name was"hale o'lani aloha". i changed the file name for the webpage to "hale o lani aloha" and republished, redid the sitemap, etc. i now have 2 sets of files on my i-disk: one for Haleo'LaniAloha and the other for HaleoLaniAloha (i don't know why it's not "HaleoLani"). both sets of files have folders with the individual components of the site, css style sheet, java script and html files. the bad redirect site address has "/Site/HaleoLaniAloha" in the address. (when i checked the "oLani" html file on my i-disk, it opens an incomplete version of my first webpage. however, the "o'Lani" html file opens the fully functioning page). when the links work, the address has "/Site/Haleo_LaniAloha" (the new file name). so that long explanation brings me to my questions:
- did the apostrophe in my file name truly mess things up?
- since my fully functioning html file on i-disk has the apostrophe in it, should i rename my file with the apostrophe and delete the non-apostrophe files from my i-disk (even tho the working website has "oLani")?
thanks for any info that can help clear up this mess!

PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7. The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files. The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing. Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot. Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names. He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.

+Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
- Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
- Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
- Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
- When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
- The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

Where can i find the OC4J.SH script file

hi everyone... anybody can tell me where can i find the oc4j.sh file.. ??? this script allows to run an instance of oc4j on linux... also this allows to start oc4j as a service.. please help.-... if you have the source of this script please put it here...

You should be able to find it in $ORACLE_HOME/bin, where $ORACLE_HOME is the place you install your oc4j. It seems this "oc4j.sh", "oc4j.cmd", or just "oc4j" comes to into being since oc4j 10.1.3. So you can just download oc4j 10.1.3 standalone, unzip the file, and find it in the bin directory.
As far as I checked, this oc4j.sh is a very thin wrapper around oc4j.jar or admin.jar. There is nothing fancy about it. You can just as well start your oc4j by
java -jar oc4j.jar
To start oc4j as a service, or a background process as it is usually called on linux,
java -jar oc4j.jar &

How can I find the name of a file I downloaded four months ago?

I downloaded a file on either February 15th or 16th. Embarrassingly, I've lost the file, simply by forgetting its name. I need to be able to search my download history, by date. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I know that the history is kept that long, and that I haven't erased the history. Finding the date that I visited the website was easy using history and an approximate date, but download history is less intuitive.
And, no, revisiting the website doesn't help; the only way to find the name of the file there (it's an ebook) is to buy it again, which is NOT what I wish to do.
This was in Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, with FireFox v. 28.0 (yes, I know it's outdated; I haven't been using that computer much lately). I don't know what version of FireFox was installed at the time of the download -- whatever was most current at the time, as I usually make a practice of installing updates.

The downloads folder in the history manager? I'm not sure what you mean.
When I click on History, I see what I've put in the screenshot. Then it starts telling me where I've been today. Nothing about downloads, per se. I've been getting at those through Tools/Downloads.
I have FireFox set up to ask me where downloads should go, rather than automatically sending them to my Downloads folder in Windows, and even if it had automatically saved to Downloads, it wouldn't still be there now.
In a pinch, I suppose I could skip the first few in the downloads list, and then start right-clicking on individual downloads and selecting Go To Download Page, but I was hoping there might be some way to narrow it down, by getting at the date on downloads. That's fairly easy in History, but I don't see any way to do it in Tools/Downloads.

Where can I find the reference of log files?

Hi, all
I am doing with the configurement of Connection Manager. The requests are always been refused. Then i want to see what does logfile say (cman_xxx.log), but I don't know what it means after I open the file. Like this info:
(TIMESTAMP=13-3ÔÂ -2003 13:53:19)(EVENT=20)(RLYNO=0)(REASON=17)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.88.88.72)(PORT=1667))
in this sentence, REASON=17, but what does it means? Is this the reason for what my request to connect the CM was refused? and EVENT=20, what does it represent?
Thank you.

Where can i find the User32.dll header files?

Hi
Is there any way to get the header file and library file of User32.dll or If I want to use a function from a User32.dll where can i get the parameters and arguments for that function which is required to call.
Thanks & Regards

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
In general you don't need "user32.h" because the functions are declared in Winuser.h (you should include Windows.h).
Otherwise, if you need user32.h only, then you can get this file together with Debugging Tools
After install you will get this file at C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows\winext\manifest\user32.h

Can't find com.apple.desktop.plist file in Preferences folder.

I have three desktop spaces, and I have them randomly changing backgroud from a selection of pictures in a folder. To quickly find out which picture was currently use for each desktop, I have a AppleScript that returns some infomation within the com.apple.desktop.plist file. This has been working perfectly fine in Mountain Lion.
However, after I installed the Mavericks (clean install from scratch), my script no longer works. The background images can be changed as before, but there's no com.apple.desktop.plist file exist anywhere in my hard drive.
Does anyone run into similar problems as me? It's driving me nuts! I can't think of any reason that there shouldn't be such a file... Thank you very much!

The returned file name from your terminal command "sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db '.dump' | grep jpg" is the file name of my current desktop picture "Earth and Moon.jpg".
The returned file names from your script:
set theResult to "Space 1 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/" & (do shell script"sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db \"SELECT data.value FROM preferences INNER JOIN data on preferences.key=16 and preferences.picture_id=3 and preferences.data_id=data.ROWID\"") & "
Space 2 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/" & (do shell script "sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db \"SELECT data.value FROM preferences INNER JOIN data on preferences.key=16 and preferences.picture_id=5 and preferences.data_id=data.ROWID\"") & "
Space 3 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/" & (do shell script "sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db \"SELECT data.value FROM preferences INNER JOIN data on preferences.key=16 and preferences.picture_id=7 and preferences.data_id=data.ROWID\"")
display dialog theResult buttons {"Done"} default button 1
are
Space 1 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/3439B
Space 2 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/5244B
Space 3 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/5244B
The return from your terminal command "find ~/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library.photolibrary/Masters -name filename.jpg" is
find: /Users/Peter/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary/Masters: No such file or directory
The return from your terminal command "
readlink -f ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect.desktop/69730752/DSKiPhotoRootSource-allPhotosAlbum/9419B" is
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
I do have a little app (Script) which did exactly what I needed under OS X Mountain Lion but because under Mavericks Apple changed the location of the wallpaper information to a SQLite database this app is not working anymore. I could send you this app if you want but I do not know how to do this via this forum.
Thanks again for your help.

HT1933 What if i can't find the receipt in my emails

I dont have the receipt accesible anywhere, so what can i do about the VideoLock app that i can't log into

Is the app still in your country's store so that you can try deleting it and redownloading it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPod ? If that doesn't fix your problem then have you tried contacting the app's developer (there should be a link on the app's description page in the store) ? If the developer doesn't reply, or can't help, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
