Where are my applications stored in Lion (Parallels VM etc)?

i have a home folder that has a "Applications" folder and i have a sidebar folder that says "Applications".
in the "sidebar folder" i have tons of apps including the apple applications but in the Home Folder > Applications folder i have two applications and a "VM Windows 7 Applications app" folder. this VM folder also has a ton of windows applications in it.
i ALSO have a "VM WIndows 7 Applications" /icon/ in my dock which takes me to a Parallels folder in my LIBRARY that apparently also contains a lot of applications.
1. i can't tell if i manually created the VM folder in the Home > Applications folder (it says "app" at the end which is really goofy but it also has a lot of apps in it). can i move the apps in this folder or delete this folder?
2. i don't understand why or what the Home > Applications folder does compared to the other Applications folder and why there are two apps in this folder. can i move these?
this gets confusing if i am looking to see if an app is installed.
TIA

hi kappy.
i think i was not clear because i don't understand what is going on with all of this..
Q1. i have two mac apps (1Password and HP Installer) in a Home > Applications folder and then the rest are apparently in a HARD DRIVE NAME Applications folder. what is the reason that the two mac applications are in the Home > Applications folder? and are all the others located in the HARD DRIVE NAME > Applications folder?
Q2. i have an /oddly/ named folder in the Home > Applications folder (this is named "VM Windows 7 Applications app" folder) - so the path for this folder is Home > Applications > VM Windows 7 Applications app - and i have a Home > Applications (Parallels) > WM Windows 7 Applications folder. why do i have two of these and which one of these is correct?
Q3. i also have a Home > Library > Parallels > Applications Menus > VM Windows 7 Applications folder that is /apparently/ giving me an icon on the desktop in the DOCK that lets me see and call up all my windows applications. presumably this is listing all the items in one (both) of the folders listed in Q2??
THANKS

Where are the files stored for shared applications?

Hello,
When I go to iTunes/iPad/Apps and then choose Pages under "File Sharing" and move a few files over, where are those files stored? Does iTunes make another copy and store it somewhere or does it just reference the location I copied from?
Also, if I move a file over and then delete that file, does it delete from the File Sharing section as well the next time I sync?

The information/data for apps is stored together with the app in both the iPad and in the backup on your computer. When you drop a file in the file sharing section of apps it gets added to the backup and to the iPad. When you delete it it get deleted from the backup and from the iPad.

Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?

Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?
I put them in the usual directory:      /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings   . . . but they are not seen by InDesign CC.
. . . Photoshop, Illustrator, Distiller and Acrobat are seeing my custom profiles and any default profiles I removed are not there for those apps.
Even older versions of all these apps and InDesign 6 and 5 see my custom profiles.
But InDesign CC only shows the ones shown in the screen shot below: (High Quality, the PDF/X versions[3], Press and Smallest size)
I know I can probably do a "Load" profile, but that's not the point and I need to remove the default profiles.
I'm in a multiple user environment and need to lock down the use of profiles to our companies select few.
Did a thorough search of the entire Mac and PDF/X- does not even show up.   Any suggestions?     Anyone?    I'm scratchin' my head at this point.

This was the correct answer:
   Laubender   Jun 2, 2014 12:18 AM (in response to Maurice Castelbuono)
@Maurizio – the standard settings, the joboption files with the brackets like [PDF/X-1a:2001] are stored inside the inDesign app for InDesign CC 9.2.1.
The path for these would be:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul
or with a Japanese version of InDesign:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/japan
If you do a right-click on the InDesign app you can show them with "Show Package Contents" options.
All other PDF joboptions that you are creating are relative to your current User Library. They are stored in:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings
Where the tilde sign at the beginning indicates the home of the currently used user.
You can access ~/Library, if you press the alt key when accessing the "Go To" menu in the Finder. Otherwise it's invisible.

Where are printer drivers stored in OS 10.8?

I am trying to set up a Epson Stylus Photo R3000 as a new printer on OS 10.8. The printer setup locates the printer and automatically selects Epson Stylus R3000 with the notation "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download and add this printer." However, clicking on Add leads eventually to an error message: "Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R3000 because it is not currently available fromthe Software Update server." This result blocks me from setting up the printer.
I know the driver is part of the Epson driver software package that is installed with OS 10.8. I would like to select it manually. My question is where are printer drivers stored? How do I select a driver?
Thanks in advance!

While a bit of a stretch, you can download the entire Epson printer package from Apple and install it. This will include all drivers for all Epson devices as opposed to the one just for your system. The package is 1GB in size, but will include everything supported.
The package can be downloaded here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
This following knowledgebase article says your printer is definitely supported, so the driver should be in that package: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson

TREX is a separate product. During installation and configuration of TREX you connect it to the portal. The search iViews of the portal will use the configured TREX server to do the actual search:

Where are the presettings stored exactly?

Hi everyone
Where are the presettings stored exactly? They must be safed in some kind of *.ini-File, in the system's registry or at another point.
We need this information to automate the setup on every working station. Domain solutions as an alternative are unfortunately not possible yet.

Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match?

Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match? Instead of clicking the cloud icon and downloading the song, I simply double click the song and it starts playing. Later, I can quite iTunes, come back and not have to wait for the song to buffer. When I go to about on my computer I am told there is 11 gigabytes of music on my computer. Where are those files stored, do they clear themeselves over time, etc...

but then why does the FAQ state this:
Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button.
Do they mean a different computer than the one with the stored music files? Would be nice if they specified what they mean

Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager.

Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager?
I created a profile attached to a user group and then made the mistake of removing the group without first deleting the profile.
Now the orphan profile can't be managed (it's no longer visible) and is still being pushed out to users.
The group I deleted had another group as it's members.
Example:
Active Sync User Group was a member of VPN Group.
VPN Group was deleted (it had the VPN settings payload)
Profile with VPN settings are still pushed out to Active Sync User Group even though VPN Group no longer exists.
I'm hoping I can manually remove this profile but I'm thinking it may be contained in Postgres. If that's the case I would appreciate any suggestions/methods to access the database to make modifications.
Thanks

Where are my ebooks stored in mavericks ibooks

where are my ebooks stored in mavericks ibooks

Why, oh why????
Why can't Apple allow us to select custom location for iBooks library, just as we do it with iTunes library???
I don't want to have 80+ GB of my iBook files moved from iTunes on the separate media volume back to the user folder on the system volume.
I created a symlink in default location and keep my Ibooks library on the media volume, but it is a temporary and not convenient fix. Every time I launch iBooks it tells me that it can't access library - only after I click on Try Again button it loads the library, but not a complete one, only books purchased through iTunes, it doesn't want to show the rest of my library that is in the same location (and was in iTunes library before).

Where are user preferences stored? Are they encrypted?

In a portal application, where are user preferences actually stored? Are they encrypted? If not, is there a way to make them encrypted? The reason I'm asking is the user wants to be able to store their credentials for logging into a mainframe associated with their primary login. Other than storing that as preferences, is there another way of securely saving this info?
Thanks.

User preferences by default are stored in the portal database. Not encrypted.
