Where are items stored in print queue?

I held documents in print queue for several weeks while I had my printer packed for moving. System still backed up using Time Machine during this time. Before I reconnected printer, in trying to resolve another issue, I used Onyx software and deleted the cache (which apparently included the print queue). Now I want to recover the documents in the print queue from my time Machine back up but I am unable to find them.
Where does OS X 10.6 put the data to print documents from the print queue? What is the name of the file or folder where they are stored?

Yes, I assume that the CUPS job is what caused my difficulty.
And they are gone.
As I mentioned, I only tried Onyx in 10.7.x. Deleting the cache for the CUPS jobs did not actually remove a print job I had spooled. I was able to "see" the file beginning the the "d" in /private/var/spool/cups and move it to my Desktop.
Did you try the Terminal comand I had in my last post to see if there are any files in the spool directory? You will not be able to see the files themselves as even administrators do not have enough privileges to view that directory. The best you can do is use the sudo command to list the files.
The long and short of it is that if the files are not in /private/var/spool/cups, they are gone.
If I understand you correctly, restoring my system to the Time Machine back-up prior to performing this maintenance will not restore my system to it's state (including these print files) at the time of the back-up? How can that be? My understanding was that Time Machine backed-up everything.
Are there other vital files that Time Machine does not back up?
That is my understanding based on what I see in 10.7.x. Time Machine does not back up any caches or any of the files in /private/var/spool/cups. Time Machine will also not back up any other caches or system logs. I don't have a list of what it does not back up. I am not even sure if there is such a list available to users.

How are items stored in the iPhone?

Where are files stored on the iPhone? When I connect to my computer, where should I look? I am especially trying to find messages and vm files.
Thank you.

Message and VM (virtual memory?) files... ? Which specific applications? It sounds to me like you've become used to managing such things on an alternate platform (Android?) and now you're trying to apply the same thinking to the iPhone? It's not the same and usually not necessary to connect your phone to the computer for much of anything these days. But then again, I use my phone as it was designed and don't walk the fine line of digging into its guts.

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 Applets stored in WinNT/IE5.5

Hi Folks,
A client is receiving an error saying (not exact)
Java.Lang error cannot find ...class
In Winnt\Downloaded Program Files, Java 1.3.1 is saying it is damaged.
I have reinstalled IE 5.5 but the error remains.
How can I reinstall Java, and/or the Applet.
Where are Applets stored in WinNT/IE5.5?
Thanks in Advance.

Before you reinstall your JRE/JVM have you tried it in other browsers such as Mozilla, Netscape Navigator, Opera, or others? IExp has taken a giant leap BACKWARDS (IMO) in that it doesn't ship the latest JVM, so it's probably just a browser issue. If its your own applet that you are trying to load, if it works in the appletviewer then there's nothing wrong with your JVM.

How do I switch the items in my print queue listed under "wireless" over to the "usb" ?

I turned off my wireless service, but i still have items in my print queue under "wireless printer" for my HP 3050A. How do I switch the settings so that it will print using the usb cable (for the same printer)?

Fx Printer Settings - where are settings stored in Fx?

Hello
I like to print a web page when using FX (I always want print selection only + ignore scaling, so the words dont cut off).
Where are these settings saved in Fx?
(I would like to know for migration purpose)
thankyou

Firefox saves 'print' settings as print.* prefs in the prefs.js file in the Firefox profile folder.
You can inspect and possibly modify prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Epson Stylus Photo 1290 - how do I remove items from the print queue?

Description of problem with "Epson Stylus Photo 1290" Application:
After selecting Show Completed Jobs from the main menu (Jobs > Hide/Show Completed Jobs) I am presented with a status list of print jobs (a.k.a. "print queue") that are either marked as "Completed", "Cancelled", "On Hold", "Printing" etc. Each and every time I print an item it is added to this list.
I simply want to clear this list.
However, the application's "Delete" button appears to only transform a "Printing" job to a "Cancelled" job, for example.
So how on earth do I clear the old (and, to me, useless) jobs listed in this print queue?
I know this isn't apple software but seeking help on the EPSON sites (and the rest of the net) has led me nowhere.
Many many thanks in advance if anyone can suggest anything!
My set-up:
Hardware:
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Boot ROM Version: MBP51.007E.B05
SMC Version (system): 1.33f8
Running: OS X 10.5.8
Problem App: EPSON Stylus Photo 1290.app, version 6.0.3
Queue name: EPSONStylus_Photo1290
Host name: localhost
Driver version: 3.09 (confirmed as latest)
URL: usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%201290?serial=WORLL0112061542320
Have print log files been cleared: Yes (using MacPilot)
Have print preferences been trashed/reset: Yes (all that I could find)
When did this problem start: not sure, I first noticed it several months after first using it on my MBP 10.5.x

Hmmmm. Doesn't look like I can edit my post. Okay.......
Contrary to what I've said above, this IS an Apple issue as the problem lies in the Print Queue, which is part of the OS.
The "fix" is to go System Preferences > Print & Fax and then delete the 1290 from the list of printers.
When the 1290 printer is re-added its print queue is now empty AND the Delete button does as it is supposed to do - it deletes items from the queue list.
Hooray!

Where are passwords stored for Safari websites

I thought the place was the Keychain, but where else is are passwords stored?
I have jsut done a complete reset of the keychain from keychain Access, and the passwords page shows empty
Yet when I go to certain websites, I still get logged in automatically.
So where are these other passwords stored?

HI,
The usernames and passwords are stored in the Keychain Access application but only if you have the Safari Preferences set up to do so.
With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari / Preferences and select the AutoFill tab.
Make sure Usernames and Passwords is selected.
From the Finder Help Viewer...
When you set up a user account in Mac OS X using the Accounts preferences pane, a keychain with the same password is automatically created the first time you log in to the computer. This keychain is the default keychain. When you create passwords for servers or applications, the passwords are added to this keychain.
You may want to create an additional keychain for personal use that isn’t automatically unlocked when you log in to your user account. For example, you can create a “top secret” keychain to store notes, financial information, and any other items you want to store securely.
To create a keychain:
Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilites folder in the Applications folder.
Open Keychain Access
Choose File > New Keychain.
Type a name for the keychain, and then click Create.
Type a password for the keychain, and then type it again in the Verify field.
For help choosing a good password, click the key button to the right of the Password field.

When I back up my musical files where are they stored?

I got a nano a couple of years ago and put all my albums on it (synced through i-tunes). I hadn't used my nano for a few months and when I went back to it my library seemed to have been replaced.......is it possible that my teenage son overwrote the nano?. Where are my files actually backed up - would it be on the laptop I used during the backup process (even though I was signed on to I-tunes at the time) or are they in fact backed up remotely through the I-tunes site.
It is all so confusing - and frustrating.
I searched for my song library on my Click-free back up device but it does not seem to have stored the songs.....just stored the link to I-tunes.
Could somebody direct me on how to solve my problem.
cheers

Your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and can be synced back to your nano as you did originally. Have you opened iTunes and clicked on Music to see if your music is still there?

HT201077 I am a new iphone 5 user and set it up to use icloud to store pictures, etc. I set up my home computer afterwards, but only some pictures are on the icloud. How do I view the rest of my pictures on my home computer? Where are they stored?

Only some of my pictures are on iCloud that are currently stored on my phone. Where are the others? Why aren't all the pictures from my iPhone showing in the iCloud? I can't find the pictures I saved from my ipodtouch, either....

Where are services stored in Tiger?

When I drag down an application's menu, particularly Finder, I see a list of 31 services (in some applications some services are greyed out). Many are for third party applications I rarely use. I have looked in:
~/Library/Services --does not exist
/System/Library/Services --has a couple of Apple system services but there's a lot more such as Script Editor which are not there.
/Library/Services --contains a single third party service
Where were services stored in Tiger OS and how do I remove ones I am not likely to use such as ClamXAV? I poked around the insides of an application package or two and didn't see them listed there (at least not obviously).

I still don't know where they are stored, some web site had mention of launchd. but I did find this:
ServicesScrubber - http://manytricks.com/servicescrubber/ - manage Finder Services in pre-OSX10.6 (free)
I kind of suspect services are hidden in the applications themselves, probably under some cryptic identifier. I have a few instances of multiple copies of an application on my computer and I noticed when using ServiceScrubber (SS) it sometimes flagged multiple occurrences of a service. In addition when I ran SS it took a bit of time to scan for services which makes me suspect it was doing a general drive scan of my multiple drives (some extra application copies are on different drives) rather than taking a look at just one or two targeted Services folders.
It seems Apple made services a lot more up-front and manageable post Leopard (kind of a very strange thing for Apple to do given its post-Tiger trend towards its current mother-knows-best attitude). There was mention of a "Services Manager" utility that I saw mentioned on a site dating from 2003 which suggested it was a very early utility but I could only find solid mention of it in a Mountain Lion or something version. It seems it wasn't a very well advertised utility (kind of like all the goodies tucked away in Core Services folder) and was maybe something you had to download specially, and has now vanished for good into the dark pits of edgesuite.

Where are versions stored in Bridge\Adobe Drive?

We are currently working with CQ5 \ Bridge 5 \ Drive 3. Lets say I have video file inside CQ and I want to change the version with Bridge. The new video file is a lot smaller, say 30megs less. I copy the new old file over using Bridge and add it as a version. I can now revert back to the old version if I want to or just use the new one. The question is where is the larger file stored? I don't see it in the DAM any more, only see the new smaller file however. If I check the actual file inside the var\dam in CQ I can see variations but I don't know if these are the actual files.
What I'm getting at is that if I need to replace say 400 larger video files with smaller ones are the large ones still stored some place on the CQ server and would I manual have to delete them? I just need to know where those extra files are stored.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I was unable to find the "show package content" option inside the windows version of Bridge. For whatever reason it only seems to be a Mac option.

The only file there is the newer version. So, that all comes back to my original quesiton what happens to the original file? Where is it stored. Is it cached some place on the CQ server and I need to delete the original from the versions?
I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that. Don't know how CQ works but in general creating a new and smaller version should leave the original untouched.
But I come to think of it as same behavior as in Lightroom, Aperture or iPhoto that uses a library structure.
Don't know if you are on Mac or Windows. But on a Mac you can select this library file that itself shows only the icon (mostly in default picture or movie folder). But if used with large amount of files it can grow to quit a size. Using right mouse click gives the option to show package content and that reveals several folders with amongst them an original or master folder that contains the originals. (if you find them don't move them to other locations but copy, otherwise you can loose the functionality in CQ
Hope this helps you on the right track.

I need to see what is in a cookiefile, where are cookies stored?

I need to know where are cookie files stored, so I can study what is inside them(cookiefile).

Hi pasmark,
You should take a look at the article [[Deleting cookies]]. It will show you how to view, manage, and delete cookies in Firefox.
Hopefully this helps!

User Decision with Note - Where are comments stored?

We are interested in using the "UserDecisionNote" property in our XML file for a User Decision workitem. (This allows a comments text box when a user clicks accept/reject for example)
How and where are these commens stored? As an attachment?
Thanks,
Matt

Sorry, I should have stated what our goals were. We currently capture comments with an activity step right after a user decision step. This happens as an immediate popup/dialog because of synchronous dialog chains in SBWP. We may then put the comments in a subsequent email step, subsequent workitem text, or custom table.
You cannot do synchronous dialog in Universal Worklist. So, we were investigating UserDecisionWithNote property of XML file for task. However, it appears the comments are stored as an attachment and not passed as text back to Task/WF (which I'm hoping someone on this forum can confirm). If they cannot be passed back as text and are indeed stored as an attachment, then in theory we need a way to get the comments out of the attachment. I'm not aware if anything allows us to parse attachments, etc.
