Where are these files?

I recently got a MBA, with 256GB SSD, which should be enough for my needs. However, I added around 22GB of video, and now about this mac shows 87GB of video? What? I checked the other account, and it only has a few GB of video. How can I get this space back?

I looked in the iTunes Media folder and strangly enough, most of the songs from my albums are missing

HT4859 i backed up files created by documents app on ipad on icloud. where are these files?

I created a couple of files using free version of documents app on ipad. Now i want to transfer them to imac for furhter editing. I used back up on ipad to back up on icloid. I logged on icloud but cannot find these files. it gives me icond for mail, contacts, etc. where are these files stord on icloud? if i cannot get on icloud, what is the other way to get these files on imac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Which free documents app.

For transferring data - where are these files located?

I have to transfer critical data from one Mac to another, but cannot simply do a "backup" or overwrite certain files on the 2nd Mac as the first has some system file problems (and the 2nd Mac works fine). So to be safe, I want to transfer these files:
1. Address Book
2. iCal
3. MAIL (all folders and everything)- also my MailTags info if that is separate from MAIL
4. iTunes (Music-Podcasts and if there is a library or reference to these)
5. iPhoto (photos and if there is an index or library related to these)
6. Safari Bookmarks
7. Any other preference files or such - for example I use DragThing and other shareware; or system shareware plists or ??? that may have to be transferred...
Any other items as well as suggestions or any references where this information may be accessed on the web / Apple support site-- I had a lot of backups - but realize I need at least a 2nd Mac and a print-out of things that are stored on my Mac for these times when the Mac fails.
Thanks!

Transferring files that way is not likely to work well.
For example, for Mail, you also need the preferences file that contains all the account information -- server names, passwords, mailbox behaviors, rules, etc. (all the things you see when you select +Mail > Preferences+ from the Mail menubar).
Your best bet may be to use +Migration Assistant+ to transfer your user account and it's data to the other Mac. Then you can log on to your account there normally. See [Using Migration Assistant|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Migrate.html] for details.
But if you're having problems with the other Mac, you really should fix them before doing anything else.
Do you have backups of your Mac(s)? That's the place to start. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

I have just restored data from an external hard drive, but half of my iTunes songs are getting the error "original file cannot be located." Where are these files?

My Windows 7 PC just had to be reformatted, and I have retrieved all of my files from an external hard drive. About half of my iTunes library is working fine, the other half pop up the error statement "original file cannot be located." If they haven't come off my external drive, where are they?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

When I do a download, it is saved to a Binary File. Where are these files stored & how do you uninstall a program you don't want to keep ?

I use firefox, when I download a file from another website, there is a pop-up that shows the name of the download, which shows it is saved to a binary file, (don't know what a binary file is) but my question is where are the binary files stored on my computer & if I can uninstall it if I don't want to keep it.

Where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported.
These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.

In iTunes and on my iPhone6, it shows 2.1 GB of photos, but I deleted all the photos... how do I free up this space? Where are these pics located?

On my iPhone 6 and on iTunes (when I connect it), it shows 2.1 GB of memory space used for photos.
I cannot seem to find a way to see what these are, or how to delete them.
I have deleted all of the photos I can see on my camera roll.
Where would these files be located?
Any help appreciated!!
Thank you!

Hi manners_97,
If you are having an issue with photos not appearing to relinquish the space they take up on your iPad after being deleted, there are a couple of things I would suggest.
First, try just restarting the iPad and check again. Use the procedure in this article -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Test again. If the space is still unreclaimed -
Second, it is likely that these photos are synced with iTunes. Use the procedure in this article -
iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Delete photos from iPhoto
Specifically -
Photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

What are these files?

I recently ran DiskWarrior. It found over 300 files that were "unlinked". I took that to mean they were "alias" files. That was no big deal since I've been doing a bit of housecleaning.
The REAL mystery was where they were found.
They were in a hidden directory called 'sbin' which was located one level down on my system disk.
I fired up File Buddy and discovered a whole bunch of hidden files and directories in the same vicinity. They are ALL unix-style stuff such as 'var', 'usr', 'man', etc.
As far as I can recall, I've never loaded X onto this disk. So where did these files come from? Is it safe to toss them out?
Gary

/sbin contains binary programs, mostly system administrative tools and utilities. Ordinarily, these will ONLY be available to user=root and no other users nor groups will have permission to run these or do anything with or to them. That's the thing that makes it different from /bin which may contain programs that can be run as regular users or software specific users. Since /sbin programs and code can only be used by root, it is not even included in any other users path since they have no need to use anything there, nor the permissions to do so anyway.
This is a bit dated now, but still basically applies - http://osxdaily.com/2007/03/30/mac-os-x-directory-structure-explained/
Keep in mind that at its core, OS X is a UNIX operating system.

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.

Where are uploaded files stored within BI Workspace

We uploaded some Excel files into BI Workspace. Where are these stored on the BI server? or are they stored in the BI SQL database? Trying to determine best means of backing up these excel files.
Version 9.2.1
Thanks
Jeff

Ok I found my own answer.
An uploaded excel file is stored on the server running the Hyperion Interactive Reporting Base Service under biplus\data\rm1_server name and then under some very long folder names with seemingly random numbers. The file itself is stored with a long alphanumeric name. You can lookup the file name in the BI plus relational database in the container table where you can find the long object name and the real file name.

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

CG36VEN - where are the files stored?

Transaction CG36VEN is intended to allow users to "Import Vendor MSDS" documents (and actually, other documents as well.) My question is, where are these documents physically stored? As someone who works with DMS and Archivelink, I'd like to know what the default behavior of this transaction is, and if it's possible to configure it to utilize the Content server if it doesn't do it by default.
Thanks!

hi,
The following data carrier types are supported as secure storage areas for storing original application files:
1. SAP Database (settings available in standard SAP System)
    The SAP Database is a Secure Storage Area that is predefined internally in the standard SAP System. This storage method is suitable for small files (for example, text files) because all of the original application files are also stored to the database.
2. Archive (selection in Customizing Document Management and data transport using the SAP ArchiveLink interface)
The archive is a Secure Storage Area t hat the original files are transported to via the SAP ArchiveLink interface. T
The archiving process takes place on a special archive server.
3. Vault (definition in Customizing Document Management)
   You can set up a vault in the standard SAP System where the original application files are transferred to the frontend
   computers via an application server.
4. HTTP content Server: external server, stores originals through Kpro. this is more recomended for DMS.
According to your Configuration of Storage senarios u have to select these methods.
EX: Business document in your case u have to select Archivelinking via HTTP content server.
Uneed basic configuration for Archivelinking.
suppose u did not configured your document type and storage menthods, thet time Sytem stores original in SAP DATA BASE.
this is not recomanded. So your document is in SAP DB. Not in Content server. i guess.
