Where are the font caches located?
Trying to trash my font caches but cant find them.
It moves to the Trash all font cache.
Not quite. It clears any and all cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode. It doesn't do anything to the system cache files.
All font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later)
I know that info came from one of Apple's own Knowledge Base articles, but it's completely out of date. The user font cache files haven't been in that location since Tiger. All font cache files (along with Font Book's database) are now deeply buried in a hidden folder. Part of the name may be different from Mac to Mac, but they are now here:
/private/var/folders/3K/3Kdt7kk4Ghim10j+GZwim++++TI/-Caches-/com.apple.FontRegis try/
Don't try and edit anything in here yourself. Use the command below to clear font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Where are the MetaData Templates located in PS C6 on a Mac?
Where are the MetaData Templates located in PS C6 on a Mac that you can add your contact and copyright information to?
On a Windows machine they are located in Owner/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/XMP. I have some templates that I want to copy from a Windows laptop over to a Macbook Pro.
Thanks, BillI’m on Mac OS 10.6.8 and there it seems to be
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates
I think as of OS 10.7 Macintosh hides the Library, but one can get there by alt-clicking the Go-menu and selecting it from there … or something. -

Where are the individual files located in iphoto, thanks for your help
They are all stored in the iPhoto Library. You would need to examine its contents to see them separately (outside of iPhoto).

Where are the audio files located?
You know how when your video source is missing, it shows that ! with a yellow triangle around it? Then, when you hover over the !, it shows you where iMovie expected to find the video, and then you can just move the video there and it's fixed. But for audio, it doesn't show you where it is supposed to be located when you hover over the ! in the audio file (music green bar).
So, where are the music files supposed to be located so that it can find them?
Thanks!To the best of my knowledge, iMovie simply links to the music file from wherever it is located in your system. That could be the iTunes Library, your Desktop, an external drive, or other places. So if you move the music to a different location, I assume that iMovie will lose track of it. iMovie doesn't actually import the music to the project - it's just referencing it (as far as I'm aware).
If you know the name of the track (or tracks, or artists), try doing a search both within iTunes and on your hard drive using Spotlight. If found, the best solution is probably to drag it again into your project, then do the necessary edits if applicable.
Note that, in iMovie the music tracks are identified by song name - it's shown at the beginning of the green audio bar. So the songs shouldn't be too difficult to track down. It's just a pain having to re-instate them.

Where are the fonts!? What the...
Hi everyone,
I've just received my shipment of Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows and immediately installed it on my new laptop. The school I attend works a lot with typefaces like Optima, Frutiger, Helvetica etc.
Here's my problem. Where are these fonts? I was told that they're standard on a Mac, but that Adobe CS4 introduces these specific fonts to Windows. Instead, I have the lame *** assortment of boring and frankly rather useless Windows fonts. I paid a lot of money for this product and I am already irritated because I need these fonts - and they're not here. Or are they? Nowhere on the web was this denied. I got the assurance that these fonts are included. Sounds like BS now...
If anyone can help me out, this would be great. And what would really be awesome is if someone can perhaps send me these fonts (for Windows) via email. Basically all the fonts that are standard on a MAC (Optima, Helvetica etc.) and were supposed to be included here.
That would really be great. [email protected]
Thanks.
PS: The reason I won't switch over to a Mac is because all my programs are for Windows. Switching over to a Mac will be too costly and I can essentially do the same work on a Windows computer nowadays as a Mac.If you buy fonts from Adobe, the standard license allows use on up to 20 computers (you can buy site licensing if you need more) and from the license:
14.7. Font Software. If the Software includes font software --
14.7.1 You may use the font software with the Software on Computers as described in Section 2 and output
the font software to any output device(s) connected to such Computer(s).
14.7.2 If the Permitted Number of Computers is twenty, you may download the font software to the
memory (hard disk or RAM) of two output devices connected to at least one of such Computers for the
purpose of having the font software remain resident in such output device, and of two additional such
output devices for every multiple of twenty represented by the Permitted Number of Computers.
14.7.3 You may take a copy of the font(s) you have used for a particular file to a commercial printer or
other service bureau, and such service bureau may use the font(s) to process your file, provided such
service bureau has a valid license to use that particular font software.
14.7.4 You may convert and install the font software into another format for use in other environments,
subject to the following conditions: A computer on which the converted font software is used or installed
will be considered as one of your Permitted Number of Computers. Use of the font software you have
converted will be pursuant to all the terms and conditions of this agreement. Such converted font software
may be used only for your own customary internal business or personal use and may not be distributed or
transferred for any purpose, except in accordance with Section 4.4 of this agreement.
14.7.5 You may embed copies of the font software into your electronic documents for the purpose of
printing and viewing the document. If the font software you are embedding is identified as "licensed for
editable embedding" on Adobe’s website at
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/embeddingeula.html, you may also embed copies of that font
software for the additional purpose of editing your electronic documents. No other embedding rights are
implied or permitted under this license.
This is actually pretty generous. The standard license from Linotype limits you to 5 workstations, but allows you to transfer the font for output at the printer provided thay don't need to do any editing, in which case they need their own license. Embedding in PDF is also permitted. Modification of the font (including conversion), on the other hand, is completely prohibited. Other foundries and distributors will have their own licensing restictions/requirements, and your license for the same font might vary depending upon where you purchase it. Some licenses prohibit commercial use (this is true of most so-called "free" fonts) unless you upgrade to a more expensive commercial license, making them utterly useless to a professional designer. In short, you need to read the agreement to find out what is and isn't allowed.

Where are the finder prefs located?
Finder prefs used to be located in Library>Prefs>com.apple.plist.
Where are they located in Lion......don't see them in the above location?Icons on my Finder toolbar are about 1/3 smaller than they were in 10.6. Display resolution is the same as before.
Below is my Finder bar in 10.6 and underneath it is my Fiinder bar in 10.7. The outline (snapshot) area of the toolbars are the same in both pics. Repairing the permissions fix'd the problem for about an hour yesterday but then it reverted back.
I just noticed that the screenshots don't really show anything.....take my word for it, the icons are smaller. Yes, I'm looking for the Finder plist. When I go to the Prefs folder I don't see com.apple.finder.plist. -

Where are the memory files located?
I backed up all my premiere pro cs4 files when reinstalling my operating system and now can't get the program to run exactly as before. Other than my documents, where else are the memory files stored?
If you mean documents and settings/adobe/premiere pro/4.0 ..those files are written when the program installs onto your computer. They are related to installation of other things in your registry of the Operating system...
Basically you are looking at having to re-install your premiere program, but first I would delete those files that you stuck in there...
What you tried to do can't be done, is the bottom line... -
Where are the fonts???
Okay, I'm confused.
I downloaded a whole bunch of fonts (from http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts.html and http://www.dafont.com) and I can see them when I open FontBook, but when I go to Word they aren't in my list of fonts. And some of them don't even appear in Library>Fonts. I don't get it; what am I doing wrong?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)Hi CherieTomato,
you have to reset the Word font cache before the new font becomes available. You can find it here: /Users/Your_Name/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11). Just drag that file to the trash and restart Word.
