Where are .exs files on my hard drive?

And why does Spotlight not find them?

I found them. It's Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments/
But again, why oh why didn't Spotlight find them, and I had to spend 2 hours online looking at forums and browsing folders?

Where are passwords stored on my hard drive, can I access them, alter them

Where are passwords stored on my hard drive/ folder, can I access them and alter them. Can I add passwords to that file/ folder.

Using the Saved Password Editor may be overkill for most users. The quickest way to manipulate saved passwords in Firefox is on the menu bar go to:
Tools -> Options -> Security -> Saved Passwords -> Show Passwords

Where are iWeb backgrounds on my hard drive

I just upgraded to iLife '08 and I like the darkroom backgrounds you can tile and would like to use it in a separate template, but I don't want to change the entire template to darkroom. Where on my hard drive did iLife store these templates so I can choose them from a directory?

Open folder Application
Rightclick iWeb and choose +Show Package content+
Open folder Content
Open folder Resources
Open folder Themes
Rightclick Darkroom.webtheme and choose +Show Package content+
Open folder Shared
Voila.
Edit: Also, when you publish a iWeb site to a folder on your HD, the Darkroom_spotlight.jpg is in the pagename_files folder.

Where do project files live on hard drive?

I need to take one of my projects from my home computer, and copy it to iDisk so I can load it up on iMovie at work, to make edits. I've found the project file under Movies/iMovie Projects. The file itself is only about 6mbs which seems quite small. Anyway, is this all I need to transfer over and it should all be editable on my iMovie program at work? Or do I need to transfer over some of the iMovie Events/files too?

The project file is basically a text file that refers to the Event file, with the path, the in and out points, the adjustments, the titles, etc. You cannot edit without the event. It is therefore very important to move this stuff in such a way that the links are updated.
I am not sure an iDisk will work, but you can try it. One issue is that the iDisk does not show up as a valid drive in iMovie.
The way that works for sure:
Get an external drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
Open iMovie.
Click View/Events By Disk
Command-Drag your Event to the icon in the Event list for the external drive.
Command-Drag your Project to the external drive by Command-Dragging the project to the external drive icon in the Project list.
When you get to your computer at work, you can plug in your external drive and edit the Project from there. Or you can reverse the procedure and command drag the Project and the Event to a drive on your work computer.

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored.

I have problem with Itunes losing where podcasts and some purchased music is located. Don't know how Itunes losing the locations of the files and I can't find the files on my hard drive. What can I do to stop Itunes losing location and restore my files?

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Files on my hard drive are not showing up. Sometimes they flash for a second before disappearing again. Mine is a WD elements 1TB hard drive that has been formatted to ExFAT for mac. No problems prior to this.

So the files on my hard drive just disappeared, the space is still occupied, but they are not listed. The disk cannot be unmounted for some reason. And I did not hide any files.

Reinstall the WD HDD in a non WD enclosure. Any difference?

Hello bbryson68,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're wanting to move iMovie project and event data to another drive. I found the following information in the iMovie help that answers your question.
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Work with multiple libraries

What are the "other" files on the hard drive and how can I reduce them

I believe "Other" is primarily System and System-related files.

Do macs keep a record of what files are copied to an external hard drive?

Is it possible to set up a MacBook to keep a record of what files are copied to an external hard drive?

Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
You may now be able to log in and move the files off the Desktop. Then restart as usual.

Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive.

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive. This just started happening in the past couple of days. I haven't installed any software, or made any updates (that I can remember.) When the browser freezes I can't "force quit" them. I have to manually shut the computer down are restart it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Safari and Firefox box.... it could be a problem with the hard drive itself, not your browsers.
Just to make sure, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors Disk Utility reports.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
