Where are contacts saved?

Hi there,
This started off as a loss of all contacts from the address book, which has now turned into a curiosity of where exactly do the contacts get saved?
I have removed the folder ~/Library/Applications Support/Address Book/
I have actually deleted this folder, logged out, logged back in again and found the address book restored with all contacts. From doing searches on the net everything points to this folder being the place where contacts are saved but obviously it is not. I have no sync service operating nor changed any defaults as this has all been done with a clean account.
So, where are contacts saved to?

It is probably being restored from the copy kept in SyncServices (in your Library/Application Support folder). Look in Local folder, and in the various folders there look at ClientName.txt. You will likely find that one of them is com.apple.AddressBook. Beyond that, I do not know the organisation of the various files within the Local folder, except that there is enough data there to restore a missing set of contacts.

Where are contacts saved on iPhone 4?

On my previous phone (Nokia 5800 XM) I could choose between phone mamory and SIM card to save contacts; in iPhone, that option doesn't seem to exist.
So my question is, where are new contacts saved (iPhone's memory or SIM card)?
Thank you.
Note: If there's a way to choose between phone memory and SIM card, please let me know.

iPhones memory.

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)
app.getPath("user","preferences");

Where are renditions saved?

Hi!
Where are renditions saved?
Do we create completely new folios (and all the articles in each folio) or are the different renditions of a folio and all the articles in them saved in the save folder?
Thanks!
CJ

But only for the DPS Professional or Enterprise level customers, according to Andrew.
Is that correct?
If this is the case, then, the rest of us will have to know ahead of time what device a client is using and share (via the Folio Producer: Organizer or via the Folio Panel in InDesign) the specific "rendition" with the client.
Even, if a client wants to access the same folio on various devices, they will need, then, to make sure and download the right rendition invitation on the right device.
This is complicated. Hope it doesn't last too long…
Thanks!

Where are memos saved?

Question: Where are the notes made on the yellow "memo pad" saved to? In iTunes, I can locate backup on music, contacts, bookmarks, etc.—but see no sync/backup for the memo notes.
Anyone know?
Thanks!

It DOES seem odd that notes created on the iPhone can't be synced or edited. There are several other options for transferring notes entered on the iPhone to other places:
iGoogle lets you create notes on the iPhone that will appear in iGoogle on the desktop. Once created they can be edited on the desktop but not edited again on the iPhone.
Noter (www.dbelement.com) has a paid note taking app. Unlike iGoogle you can edit the note on the iPhone once it is created and sync it. It has very limited formatting and notes are restricted in size.
The most promising one is Evernote (www.evernote.com). They are the premier note taking application for computers today, with a rave review from Walt Mossberg in the Wall Street Journal a couple of years ago. I've been using it for several years. The current version only runs on a computer, but I am currently using a closed beta of Version 3, which allows notes to be accessed via the web as well as on the desktop (or notebook or tablet). They also have "fat" clients for Windows Mobile and other mobile operating systems, and promise an iPhone version in the near future. At the current time you can create notes on the iPhone and sync to your desktop via the web, view notes created on the desktop or in a browser on another computer. You cannot edit existing notes on the iPhone at this time. You CAN edit on the desktop or using a desktop browser window, so hopefully the iPhone version isn't far off. It supports full rich text formatting, tagging, searching, etc. It can import web clippings, graphics, works with tablets for ink notes, and most amazingly, can usually interpret the text within a graphic or ink note for searches.

Where are settings saved for WCF Service Applications?

Default Settings for a WCF Service Application are stored in the web.config file and are Read Only because only Application settings are allowed i.e. you cannot change the Scope from "Application" to "User" in the settings designer like
with other components. So, in order to save changes to settings the WCF Service Application will need to create a setting property at runtime like this:
System.Configuration.SettingsProperty newProperty;
newProperty = new System.Configuration.SettingsProperty("NewSetting");
newProperty.IsReadOnly = false;
newProperty.DefaultValue = "New Setting";
Properties.Settings.Default.Properties.Add(newProperty);
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
OK...this works, but I've looked everywhere and I can't find where the new setting property is being saved. I have already looked in the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\[Local or Roaming]\[Company Name]\[AppName...etc.]\[version]\user.config and although
a user.config file was created it does not contain the new property. Anyone have a clue?
Actually, this doesn't work...the settings are not saved to the file system. I located some other posts and modified my code as follows, but the settings are still not saved to the file system.
System.Configuration.SettingsProperty newProperty;
newProperty = new System.Configuration.SettingsProperty("NewSetting");
newProperty.Provider = Properties.Settings.Default.Providers["LocalFileSettingsProvider"];
newProperty.Attributes.Add(typeof(System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute), new System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute());
newProperty.PropertyType = typeof(string);
newProperty.IsReadOnly = false;
newProperty.DefaultValue = "New Setting";
try
Properties.Settings.Default.Properties.Add(newProperty);
catch
//Just ignore it for now.
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
The new setting appears to be saved only in memory. If I close Visual Studio then the setting is lost. Also, I deleted the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\[Local or Roaming]\[Company Name]\[AppName...etc.]\[version]\user.config files and the file
is no longer being created.
Looks like I will need to explicitly load/save a text file or use the registry to persist changes to settings.

Hello Steven,
>>The new setting appears to be saved only in memory.
It seems that the Save() method only saves these runtime added in memory, I suggest you could check the Save method source code since now the .NET is source opened:http://referencesource.microsoft.com/#System/sys/system/configuration/ApplicationSettingsBase.cs,9664b0111a35af52
>>Looks like I will need to explicitly load/save a text file or use the registry to persist changes to settings.
Someone provides an implementation about this approach, you could check it:

Or you could set it in a register entry:

SYNC'd iPHONE NOW WHERE ARE CONTACTS?

I just sync'd my iPhone Contacts using iTunes. The problem is that the phone picked up loads of Contacts from the computer. I would like to find out where the Contacts are stored on the Computer so that I can edit the list. Please can anyone help?

They are in your Address Book. If you don't want them all on your phone, make a group in Address Book and select only that group to sync.

Pages 08 Template images -where are they saved?

I know Pages 08 does not have clip art but I like many of the pictures on the templates. I want to use some of the template images (like the cat.tiff or frog.tiff) on a blank document. Copying & pasting works but I'd rather be able to see all the template tiffs at once. Where are the template images(tiffs) located on my hard drive. Is there a specific iWork folder I can find them in?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The images are "buried" in each template which is buried in the Pages application. You can find them by Control- or right-clicking on the Pages application > Show package contents > Contents > Resources > Templates & then the folder for the template category you want. Then Control- or right-clicking on the template icon > Show package contents > Contents where you will find the actual images.
Or you can just copy & paste from an open template.

Where are the saved pdf websites saved in the phone? (Galaxy S II)

Where are contacts in my Personal Addresses file and why do my email addresses differ than the ones I reinstalled in my Personal Address file?

I lost my Personal Address file in Cyber Space and all of my contacts. I reinstalled my contact information into a new Personal Address file and want to make sure I save a copy of the file in case the file gets lost again.
Also, when I created a new email and typed in the first few letters of the address contact, it automatically opened up the persons contact but in a form that is different than what I entered into my personal address book and is not able to be sent. It showed the email address as, <" m*****"@hotmail.com> . There is the symbol " in front of their email name and in front of the @ symbol in the email address, which is not what I installed in my personal address book. I had these kind of emails in the Collected Addresses file which I'm guessing caused my problem to start with. I do not need to have a Collected Address file. Somehow I must have hit the wrong keyboard key and created this problem. I do not want to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird in fear of loosing all of my contacts again. I spent two days reinstalling my contacts in the Personal Address file and even then information is missing. So now I have to contact everyone and request phone numbers and home addresses and install all of them again.
As a final note, I deleted all of the addresses in the Collected Addresses file. Can you tell me where they may be saved at so I can make sure they are gone and not interfering with my new Address Book and function of my email account?

The Personal Address Book is stored in your local disk drive; "cyber space" doesn't come into it.
Was it just the Address Book that was lost? Did your email account settings remain intact? Or did you lose the entire profile?
All of your data is stored in a set of files known as the profile. It's unusual for just one element of it to go missing. Any query about saving or protecting data will generally be answered by guiding you to backup your entire profile.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Files_and_folders_in_the_profile_-_Thunderbird
It's possible to single out address book files for independent backup, but you'll need to surgically dissect them from your profile and know where to insert them in order to restore them.
PAB → abook.mab
CA → history.mab
user defined address books → abook-''n''.mab where ''n'' is a number
A safer option for a partial backup might be to export the relevant address books.
In the Address Book, select an address book, then go to '''Tools|Export''', enter where you want the exported addresses to go. Repeat for each address book you want to preserve.
Thunderbird likes the LDIF file format which exports and imports cleanly. The main alternative, CSV, is good for transporting data to or from other address books, but you'll have to take care to get the imported data to feed into the correct data fields. For instance, many users find that their email addresses are posted into the Nickname field. Have you checked your address books to confirm that all the data are where they should be?
The Collected Addresses book, IMHO is like the lint filter in a tumble dryer. Best way to use it is to keep it empty; periodically examine it, move useful addresses to a proper address book and dispose of the cruft you don't need. If you let it grow, you'll have trouble finding the really useful addresses in amongst all the chaff.
There is an add-on that might recover a deleted address book, but I can't recall which one it is. Hopefully someone else will chip in?

Where are notes saved on the HD?

My MacBook Pro is being sent it for repair and i have taken out the HD and connected it to my pc to back it up.
Where can i find 'notes' that i would have saved on my Mac?
I have some important info on them and need to access them!

Notes are stored in
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes
To find them in the Finder hold down the Option key and pull down to Library. Then open the Containers folder.
What to do with that Notes folder is the question.
After duplicating that folder for safekeeping you can try several things.
One is to delete the Container.plist file and see if Notes works again.
Another might be to restore that folder from a TIme Macine backup.
Be sure you make a copy of the current folder before you trying anything that may modify it.
