Where are sidebar settings saved?

I have tried to figure out where the settings you make in the Finder Preferences for the Sidebar is saved. I want to make a script or a profile that will make every device visible in the sidebar. Standard is only external disks and CDs, but I want computer and hard disks to show too.
I have looked inside com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist and even compared these files before and after the modification i made in the GUI, but nothing changes (except which tab I was in, in the preferences window).
Does anyone know where these settings are saved so I can use 'defaults', 'PlistBuddy' or a profile to deploy this to our clients?

Ok, but I will post the answer here, because I found it out myself now. It may help someone...
Make a profile from com.apple.sidebarlists.plist, download it, change PayloadScope to System and change "forced" to "Set-Once", voila! The last step, changing forced to set-once is the key for making this work!

Where are adobe settings saved?

Hi,
I'm trying to automate a change to adobe acrobat pro 8 when saving TIF files I want to be able to enter a setting without opening a PDF and doing all the setting from inside adobe. So I'm wondering where are all the settings saved? I have tried to use process monitor and a couple other programs to capture saving/changing of the settings. I have found that it isn't in the registry or any of the personal document settings on the computer. It doesn't seem like a personal setting but for all of adobe. So anyone have any ideas how to edit the settings without opening adobe since I'm trying to set using auto-deployment and don't want to have to manual set these.
Thanks

Hi,
After those settings are set though any time I want to save a TIF they are there. So it seems like they are saved some where. Yeah, I was thinking about getting an application to mimic the options of opening the application and doing the above steps but I would like to find where these settings are to make it simpler for me and others that might want to make it an easy process instead of opening adobe and doing all those steps.
Thanks.

Where are the settings to make Acrobat software recognize my scanner?

Where are the settings to make Acrobat software recognize my scanner? I've had my computer on a road trip. When I returned to the home office, I can't get Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro software to recognize my scanner, which is a 4-in-one printer. Acrobat will print to the printer, but I can't get it to recognize the scanner to scan a document. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Open the Acrobat application(Acrobat X) and later navigate to Create>PDF from scanner>Configure presets and later select the Scanner which is connected to your computer and check it will work.
If you are getting two options ie WIA and TWAIN please select TWAIN as Acrobat is compatible with TWAIN interface than WIA.

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 iBooks Settings?

My other good iPhone readers, eReader and Goodreader both have settings to be able to change the font, font size, font color and background color and scrolling... where are iBook settings.. All I see is 'original' no use for reading on iPhone.

They are all in the books themselves - top right click on the brightness, font size, background colour setting buttons.

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

Where are power options saved in the Windows registry?

The problem is that a customer IT department did something wrong during deploying GP preferences. Now nothing is working and we have to delete all settings, that the new GP preferences I newly created will work.
Now GP preferences is not working on 300 clients. I don't know what they have done. If we reinstall the clients, GP preferences (power settings) are working fine. They have only used GP preferences for power settings. No other changes before the problem started.
My senior manager told me to delete power options / settings in the Windows registry. So I can delete this?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{025A5937-A6BE-4686-A844-36FE4BEC8B6D}

Hi All,
Thanks for the info. I think this is what I need, but I opened the Javascript console and pasted in the code and nothing happened.

What else do I need to do to make the Console recognize and respond that line of code?

Where are the settings to invoke SSL for POP3 and SMTP?

I keep getting annoying emails from Yahoo!AT&T who are my internet providers about setting SSL settings for POP3 and SMTP services for receiving emails. I have it configured on my main email settings for my client. Do I have to set it as well for Blackberry service thru Verizon?
If so, where are these detailed settings located?
Thanks,

Where are compressor settings kept?

I have Compressor and some settings I would like to share with some fellow educators who do not have it, but do have FCP X. I was hoping to find the location where the Compressor settings are stored and add extras. And would they need to be in a folder labelled Custom, or just thrown in? Or is the whole idea not going to work? Thanks for any insight.

I should have mentioned earlier - that is the location of custom settings that you have created. The default settings that it ships with are stored inside the application bundle.
So if you don't have Compressor, you can't create custom settings and so you won't have that directory.
If you have an earlier version of Compressor the settings are stored at ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor.

Where are user settings for the JRE stored?

On a workstation, every user gets his own JRE settings (for example, changed the proxy settings). But for a deployment package, I need to set the proxy settings differently from the Internet Explorer settings.
Can't find it in C:\documents and settings\Administrator (or the user dirs), the registry, C:\program files\java\... - So where are they kept?!

Thanks, it appeared the windows environment settings rerouted to a similar path but on a different network drive! ;)

Where are proxy settings stored for JRE 6

Where are the http proxy settings stored for JRE 6? I am trying to figure out how to centrally manage these settings for a large number of computers. I have heard about the deployment.properties file, however changing this file is not changing my proxy settings.
Thanks for you help.

Where are "Site settings"?

I've finally upgraded from a very old version of Dreamweaver to CS6. Trying to connect, I'm told that the server certificate is unsigned or not issued by a trusted certificate authority. I am then told to go to "Site settings" - but where are they? Not under "Site"!

That is taken care of by your hosting company on the server. DW is just warning you that your site is apparently not secure, owned by Scammy McScammerson, or the administrator oopsied and let their security certificate expire.

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:

How/Where are Financial Reports Saved on the File System of the Server?

We've recently lost a large chunk of our reports on our server. We can't figure out which directory location to restore in order to get those reports back. Where is the default directory for 11.1.2.2 Financial Reports? And in what format are those reports saved?

The FR reports themselves are found in the Operating System (O/S) file system, but the EPM Workspace heirarchy (folders, tree, etc) are stored in the Hyperion BI+ repository database.
On the O/S file system, the reports are stored in RM1 folder under "C:\oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\ReportingAnalysis\data\RM1\root" folder.
The names of the reports located here are UUID (long identifiers - not the actual names).
For example:
        when a report is created with the name"My report" in the Financial Reporting Studio, when logging into EPM Workspace it will be accessible within Financial Reports/folder name where it was saved.
        the actual report will be stored in a sub-folder of the RM1\root folder on file system.
            The name of the file will be a unique identifier (not the actual name of the report i.e. "My report")
            It will be generated "on the fly" based on various things such as the current date and time on the server (i.e 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)
The meta-data for that report ("My report", that is in the folder in Workspace, the modification date of the report, the permissions on that report, etc.) will be stored in the Hyperion BI+ DB as an object in an encrypted table. Financial Reporting knows what meta-data is in the Hyperion BI+ DB that matches the report, in the "RM1\root" folder because all the rows in the table for this object in the Hyperion BI+ DB that are related to "My report" will be referenced using the UUID of the file (e.g. 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)
Note: The location of RM1 folder differs with each installations' operating system.
