Where are Mail e-mails, Safari bookmarks located?

My MacBook Pro was having problems (constant restarting, no desktop) yesterday so I ran Disk Utility from the Leopard Install disk. A few permissions and disk errors were repaired. I ran the utility again twice and both times no errors. But I still kept getting the constant restarts, so I did and Archive and Install. No problems this time, computer rebooted fine. However, when I open Mail all my previous e-mails are not in the account, nor are my Safari bookmarks.
This did not happen when I upgraded my four other Macs to Leopard. Is there a location where they might be found, and how do I do this?
TIA,
John

Your mail is in Library/Mail. If you go in there and delete the Envelope Index file (while Mail is not running) the next time you launch it it will offer to re-import your mail.
Your Safari bookmarks are in Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

Where are iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons...?

When installing Leopard, my main internal "Macintosh HD" (where all my programs are loaded) didnt show as an option, so I installed on my secondary HD. Leopard runs OK from here, BUT, I cant find my iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons, and the programs in the dock no longer show. Any advice?

Sadly, this is still an issue.
I guess plan A would be to find all the settings I am now missing and point the various programs to them. Though not sure how to do either of those things.
If this is difficult, then plan B is to "boot back into ...Tiger drive" and reload Leopard in drive bay 1 as originally intended. Again, not sure how to do that - and why it didnt work the first time.
Pls let me know if you think this is the right plan, and if so, what would the steps required look like.

Where are the internet search engine bookmarks located

simple & dumb question I know, but I'm new to mac and still discovering. Where is the folder which contains all the search engine bookmarks?

"Search engine bookmarks?" What do you mean by that? Your bookmarks (i.e. sites you add to your Bookmarks list), or the list of choices that 'pops-up' when you start typing a search query into Google, for example? Also, which browser are you talking about (Safari, Firefox, etc.)?

The physical login item process could be located any where. Your ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist initiates login applications or processes.

Okay I know one reads from the diode... altough the reading still seems to be low compared to other diode readers (like the 8K3A+ which gives you readins in the 50's).

Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located

Hi
Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located? Is it two fingers swipe down to goto the next month?
Thank you in advance.

I don't know that there are any preferences for setting what swiping does in the Calendar.
Two finger swipes left and right skip months in month view. They skip weeks in week view. Two fingers up and down scroll up and down (which does nothing in month view).

Where would i find mail, safari bookmarks, etc?

im reinstalling maverick on another HD. where would i find my mail folder to drag and drop and also safari bookmarks? so i want have to start over compelety? thanks

One way to deal with the Safari Bookmarks is to open Safari and use the "Export Bookmarks..." item on the File menu. You can specify where to save them.
Mail is in Users > username > Library > Mail
Library is normally hidden in Finder. Use the Finder Go menu and hold down the Option key to see and click on Library. I've never tried copying the Mail folder and moving it to another machine, so there may be more to it than just the above folder.

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.

Where are the photos in the organizer located?

When I put photos in the organizer, does the organizer make copies of the originals? Where are they located on the hard drive?

You don't put any photo in the organizer : the location on the drive of the media files and their properties are written in the catalog database together with a small thumbnail. The photos stay where you have put them.
If you are 'getting photos or videos' from camera or card reader, you are using an accessory module (the downloader) to upload from your camera card to your computer before the photos are registered in the organizer catalog. You can check the location where the files are written in your computer in the Edit / preference menu of the organizer. You can specify where you want the photos to be stored on your computer.
After the photos are downloaded from your card, the organizer automatically reads the location and properties of those files and writes that info in the database.
If you are 'getting photos from files or folders', there is no copy, the updating of the database is made from the already present files on your computer.
It's up to you to chose if you want to use the downloader or simply use other ways to get the photos from your card to your computer.

Where are my Safari bookmarks located in time machine?

I did a clean install of Lion, and want to import only my bookmarks from timemachine.
Where can I find the bookmarks? I can't find /Library/Safari, or bookmarks.plist.

~/Library/Safari
in the text box that opens. A Finder window will open. Enter Time Machine and restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that window.

Where are Mail downloads kept?

Did a fresh install on a new Pro and not carry any problems forward. I can't seem to locate the "Mail Downloads" folder on ML, as I moved from 10.6.X, and it was in the user library.
I am trying to get back all the Mail attachements pre move that are no loger available. Where do I find the dowloads for mail in 6.2?
thanks for any help

The Mail Downloads folder is on ~/Library, being ~ your user folder.
OS X Lion and Mountain Lion have hidden the Library folder of your user folder because of security reasons, so to access to Mail Downloads, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Mail Downloads.
If you want to show the Library folder on Finder, open Terminal and type:
chflags nohidden ~/Library

Where are mail attachments stored?

On my Macbook Pro all attachments are available to be opened when I'm not connected to the internet. I assumed this was true with ipad but could not open attachments on plane yesterday. So, I assume in ipad attachments are stored on server (I use mobile me) and must be opened/downloaded individually then saved in other apps like Goodreader or Pages. If this is true, is there any way to automatically store attachments like a mac does in mail downloads?

Mail attachments are stored on the server. You need to tap on the attachment to down load them to the iPad. The same holds true for a desktop or laptop computer.
If your need to view an attachment where you don't have an Internet connection it is best to open the attachment before hand when you an internet connection.

Where are Mail attachments (IMAP)

can i access mail attachments in "Local Mail" or IMAP based email?
i have a series of 3-ring binders with resumes and portfolios in them and i am trying to move this "database" to a digital database. since i am not sure that i have sorted all the EMAILS from which these resumes and portfolios came, i don't want to have to find every email sent with these printed documents and it would be much easier to scroll through the attachments in coverflow and grab the ones i need digitally while trashing the corresponding paper version...
ideas?
thanks.
