Where are my files saving to

Hi,
I have an I-mac late 2011. I mostly use it for Logic Pro and general internet use. With using Logic Pro I create a lot of projects and folders so I thought it best to purchase an external HD of 1TB and save them there.
I was sure I had set it up to save all Logic Pro files to the external HD as a default. But Ive noticed that if I forget turn on the external HD I am still able to access my Logic Pro files. Its possible I am saving duplicate copies on the external and on Imac.
Ive been ignoring it a long time and would really like to find out where exactly these files are defaulting to, or is it both. Its confusing because, for example, I could have 50 projects saved on the External HD and maybe 80 on the Imac. Some maybe duplicated copies on both and some maybe be only one copy and only on one source. The aim is to get them all on the external HD and free up the Imac of these large Logic Pro files.
Its a bad habit Im in and very basic knowledge I should be aware of but I really don't know what way Im saving these files and they are so important to me.
Any help greatly appreciated

Where are the files saved that someone sends you via Skype Windows8

Hi, I just bought a new computer that has windows 8 installed on it and I must say that I was chocked when I realised that the system is like running a pad wich is so bad if you are looking to actually work with the computer. Then I installed skype and was astounded that there is nothing that you can do with it. No video call?I use skype to send files and do video calls. Now when someone sends me a file I have no choice of where that file is saved... Where are the files saved? OS: Windows 8 Thank you

Snow Leopard Automator - where are the files saved?

Hi,
I've been trying to run some Automator apps I have. In Tiger, the files would be saved in the same directory as the original files, but in Snow Leopard I can't find them anywhere. I'm having trouble with Spotlight (in another post), so I can't search for the files as I would normally do.
Any ideas where Automator might be saving these files? Same behaviour when I create a new app as well, can't find the files...
Thanks

I think I just found them myself: in your user's Library > Workflows > Applications

Where are the files saved in?

Hello.
This might look a silly question for you, but it's not for me, since I started using JNLP a couple hours ago.
Well. I usually would give the users a JAR file or use a setup to put it in a specific folder.
In my program, I have a database that's supposed to be the core of the app, and cannot be deleted or de-cached at any circumstance.
So.. I would like to know where the files are saved (heard something about the "documents and settings" folder) so I can later do a backup.
Furthermore, I would like to know if and how I can save the JAR in a specific folder and if I can include another type of resources to download other than .jar and native libraries (maybe some txt?)
Thanks.

They are saved somewhere like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javaws\http\
But it seems strange the you want to know where they are. I worry that you might be going about something the wrong way.

Where are the files saved after successfully using the Migration Assistant from PC to a Mac?

I just used the Migration Assistant from PC to Mac but I can't find where the files were saved? I thought the process was supposed to create a new user account...Why can't I see it on the login screen?
Please help ! I've formatted my PC so I wanna make sure that my files are not lost

Have a read here:

Might be better/best to start the thing all over and using the Setup Assistant instead of the MIgration Assistant this time:

Where are the files saved in TM?

hi, everybody.
Here's my question: a couple of days ago the HD in my iMac has died. The man in the store told me he doesn't know if he can recover the files. No big deal, I thought, TM saved everything.
So while the iMac is being repaired I use the MacBook. I connect the external HD but I don't see it in the finder. I open TM and it starts backing up the MacBook HD. I click on "browse other disks of TM" and it opens a window with no disk at all. Long story short: I can't find the saved files in any place.
Now I'm panicking.
Can anybody give me some hope?
Thanks a lot
Anita

One can search the Time Machine HDD by clicking on it. You can attach it to any Mac and view its contents. You may want to turn off Time Machine on a Mac that is not configured to back up to that disk.
Just click on the folder and you may keep opening the folders until you get to the items that you are looking for.
The sequence is virtually the same as your HDD.
Ciao.

TV capturing on MCE. Where are the files saved?

Hello!
Anybody knows the answer to that question??

By default they go in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Recorded TV -- if you want to change it, download TweakMCE (available on the MS site) or edit the registry -- you'll need to edit the following two keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media Center\Service\Recording
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media
Center\Service\Recording\WatchedFolders

What version of Premiere Elements and what computer operating system? You have a few other threads awaiting follow up, and consequently that information
is not available elsewhere.
What is your specific export...
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
and Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or something like that.
Specific please.
But what specifically are you entering in the Save In: field of the dialog that includes the Save button to initiate the export process.
Are you saving it as a file to the Desktop or to a specific folder on the Desktop? Have you given the export a distinctive file name?
The screenshot shows the Save In: to the Desktop as a file.
I have no idea of your background with the program, so I ask these questions so as to take nothing for granted.
If the computer Desktop is crowded, as mine often is, it is easy to have difficulty spotting a file save to the Desktop.
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thank you.

Where are my photos saved, how to archive photos

Hello,
currently I had imported photos from a camera to my MAC by using iPhoto import and event functionality. Now I would like to backup my photos by using rsync. But I can not find my photos as files on the disk.
Where are my photos saved?
I am a new MAC user with some expirience in Unix qnd Linux.
Thank you in advance
Bernhard

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

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

HT2500 Where are the files of past mail kept in the Mail program.

I want to do an additional backup of my email on Mail. Where are the files of stored past mails kept? In the same Mail.app?
Thanks
Gil

Hi Gil,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

SYSLOGD gone wild - where are the files?

Hey all,
Yesterday I had 15GB of free HD yesterday, it told me today that I was down to 100MB.
Confused - because I haven't added any files, I check the activity monitor and found that SYSLOGD was running, and using an absurd amount of processor and disc access.
I searched on it, and it seems to relate to Time Machine, which I'm not using.
SO... I rebooted, and now it's not running any more. BUT - the hard disc space is still gone, and I don't know where the files are that I need to delete to free it up.
I've loaded a disc scanning utility to try to find where a new 15GB file might be hiding, but I'm thinking it's in the hidden area of the disc.
QUESTION 1 : Where are the files SYSLOGD wrote and how can I delete them?
QUESTION 2: What made it run, and how can I keep it from happening again?
Thanks!

If you're looking for trash sounds, those are located in /System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/ . If you're wanting to change the put stuff in trash and empty trash sounds, then follow these steps.
Convert your sounds to aif, save them in some convenient location.
Replace the two sound files *"move to trash"* and *"drag to trash"* inside the Finder and Dock folders, respectively, inside the SystemSounds folder, with the one you want for putting things in the trash and the *"empty trash*" one inside the Finder folder with the new one for emptying the trash.
Ensure that you rename the new ones the same as the originals. (I usually copy the originals and add a .bak suffix so I can restore the sounds to their original condition.)
OPTION-click the Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch.
Do note that if you'll have to authenticate to copy, rename, and replace these files. I use the Terminal with the sudo command to affect the changes.

HT4796 Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

Hello. It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos. What I did:
First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords. I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands.
Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically! I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random. But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
Thanks for the discussion and help.
