Where are the data files kept for 6.2.2?

I have a client who's PC crashed. She'd been doing full backups to Carbonite. I've re-installed windows and the palm desktop v6.2.2 (I *think* that's what was running before). Now I want to restore her address book.
After doing a full recovery from Carbonite, I've got files all over the place, and copies of copies of copies. Ugh.
So...where should I look to restore her most recent address book? I've searched the entire pc for *.aba, and found about 4 copies of the same file, with a date of 3-9-09. That's *not* the last time she updated that address book.
If I know where the files are stored, I can hopefully find them in the carbonite backup, put them in the correct spot on the PC, and be done.
Help?
Thanks!
Bill

Post relates to: Palm m105

If you are trying to access the data in a .dat file, you will want to use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 or Palm Desktop 4.2. If you have the CD that came with the Palm, you should try installing that version.
Once installed, you will need to create a new dumby HotSync profile; call it Test or whatever you'd like. Then find the associated data folder on the PC. It could be in the c:\program files\palm folder our the user's My Documents folder depending on how old the software is.
Then, copy (don't move!) the .dat file(s) you have recovered into the correct PIM folder. So, the address.dat file should be copied into the Address Book or Calendar folder, replacing the emply data file there.
If Palm Desktop is still running, quit and restart it and see if the data is there. If it isn't, the data file is either in the wrong spot or is corrupted.
Hope that helps,

Where Are The Master Files Stored For iWeb?

I can't seem to figure out where the master files are stored in iWeb. For example I was trying to help of friend with his iWeb website, so I told him to send the files - and then I was planning to load them into iWeb on my computer... but I couldn't figure out where to put them... and he did not know where they were either!

Where are the data files stored?

I regularly back up using Time Machine, but when I reformatted my hard drive and then restored it, I could not find the data files for iWeb websites I have created. Looking for help, I saw a reference to a subdirectory named "Domain", I found that but could not see any files for the four different websites I have created. Are these data files kept hidden? I am not very familiar with MAC file systems, so please respond in a MAC for Dummies language. Thanks.

In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Then it will be easy to fine the domain file in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Scratch Disc Full: Where are the temp files kept?

Hi,
I just tried to open a few of very large image files (9GB in total) and when I did I got the message "scratch discs full". Now I understand why that happened, but it seems to have eaten a whole load of disc space that wont come back. I've since closed photoshop, restarted my Mac, etc. but about 10 GB is still used up where it wasn't before. I can't locate any temp files anywhere (prefs only tells me the scratch disc is my Mac HD, not which folders it's in). Can anyone help me with this? Where are Ps temp files usually located on a Mac? I need those 10GB back!
Mac OSX running Photoshop CS3
Thank you!

Hi again Chris (or anyone else who cares to contribute),
My Mac's HD space continued to disappear and I have now, finally, located the cause (I think). I checked the system log (Stystem Profiler/Software/Logs/system.log) which was itself 4.5 GB in size (too large I think?). However, when I went to the file location (/var/log/system.log) I also noticed that the "asl" folder (in the same folder as the system log) was 20 GB in size!! Having read a few forum posts about similar issues, I took the risk of deleting both the system.log and the majority of files in the asl folder. This seems to have worked a treat (I now have 25GB returned to me).
As I said in my original post, this all started happening when I opened a few very big Photoshop docs (ones with layers). Do you have any idea what caused / is causing this to happen? I haven't opened Photoshop since deleting the asl files, but new ones still seem to be appearing in the asl folder. They are tiny (100KB at most) but I'm a little concerned I haven't fixed the problem. Any suggestions?
I can't see why new asl files would be appearing when I haven't even opened Photoshop.
I'm running on OS 10.5.8
Many thanks,
Matt
P.S. By the way, the size of the system.log seemed to be caused by a repeated message regarding RealPlayer, which I assume is unconnected, but I have included it below just in case (I've removed RealPlayer from my Mac to see if that helps, but the asl files still seem to be appearing):

Where are the data files?

Hi,
I'm completely new to Berkeley db and i have some basic questions regarding architecture which i couldnt find in docs. Where does BDB store its data? Is there a default file location? Also, is there a way i can specify maximum file size? I'm developing an application which will store many giga bytes of data and I dont want the data files to grow above the OS limit. I'm using windows as the OS.
regards,

Hello,
This question is probably deserving of its own thread, but I'll answer briefly here. As you've noted, BDB XML itself it designed and tuned to storage and query of XML. Because BDB XML is built on Berkeley DB, you can use DB proper transactionally along with BDB XML. In an application such as yours, you could store XML in BDB XML, and create (application-provided) references between those documents and other data stored in Berkeley DB. In addition, you might want to store some data in regular files (streaming video, large binary data, etc).
You can store binary data in BDB XML as either document metadata or encoded into ascii, but for the scale you want I would not recommend that approach.
Regards,
George

Where are the actual files kept in iphoto

I was wondering if anyone can help me as to where the actual files are kept for the iphoto library as when you look for them in Finder it just gives the iphoto library but when you click this then it just brings up the library not the individual files ?
Help

If you're looking for the photos for use outside of iPhoto read Terence Devlin's treatise on file access.

Where are the data-binding frameworks for Oracle Objects?

Oracle offers a few different options for data-binding frameworks to Oracle relational data. Amongst them they include TopLink and the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF)in JDeveloper 10G. J2EE also offers the EJB standard framework. Both of the Oracle data-binding frameworks appear to work well with relational data but fail miserably when one tries to work with a fully fledged Oracle Object-Relational schema. I have spend much time with ADF but have not been able to create successful bindings to Objects with nested complex objects (such as a 2-level nested object) or objects containing nested tables. TopLink will not even touch Object tables.
Have other people being more successful with this? Do we have to implement our own data binding framework? Does Oracle plan on improving these frameworks to fully support Oracle Objects?

TopLink Runtime supports both fully fledged OX mappings and nested complex objects. These mappings can be setup in the code.
TopLink ADF design time however currently does not have support for OX mappings.
Hope this helps,

Where are the recent file locations for Printing to PDF stored? Deleted folders reappear when printing to PDF.

question is above... where can I delete the list of recent locations?
very annoying when I delete folders I have used in previous PDF printing, then reappear (all of them) when I PDF again to any location

AcroTray is running in background.
Thanks, will try that. Just have to work out Word settings so the conversion is seamless. Word tends to drop images and such when I do that.
In the interim, I've downloaded the CutePDF driver and all seems to be working. Ultimately the issue seems to lie with the PDF driver provided by Acrobat, but no matter how many times I reinstall the driver I still get the same problem.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so. Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards. I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me. that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer. I see no way to do that on the new cloud.
