Where can i find hidden movie files on a macbook

I've deleted all the movies from my mac and when I open my system profile it shows I have 42GB of movies somewhere hidden on my macbook. I've tried searching .mov in my spotlight (which yields nothing) and manually searching through the iTunes folder and movies folder (which are empty). Any other ideas as to where I can find these hidden movie files -- 42gb is pretty hefty.

If you are using Time Machine, it keeps a "local snapshot" - backups kept on your hard drive, not the backup drive, to protect you from certain kinds of data loss while you are away from your backup drive. These snapshots are kept for a week, and one consequence of this is that you don't immediately recover space when you delete files, since they will be added to the local backup.

Where can I find hidden movie files?

I just got the macbook pro and system info says there are 25 gb of movies. but using finder to search for any movies yields nothing. I just want to free up as much space as possible.

I don't know if you're resolved this yet, but if not, try a Spotlight search for anything ending in movie suffixes.
If that doesn't help, try posting in the Lion forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

First you'll need to make sure your XP is set up to view hidden files and folders.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Now you should be able to track down your backup file at the location in the following document:

I found my answer in another Thread and it worked... so for anyone who needs it, here it is:

Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.

Where can i find the cached file?

where can i find the cached file?.
while one video was getting cached . I could see the cached file in the cache directory that mozilla firefox uses which in my pc is .....Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uujksq39.default\Cache. but later on when the full video was completely cached i couldnt find the file existing in that directory and i still have my session of that firefox opened and can watch the video from the firefox session.
since the cached video is still there ,there most be some place where the firefox is storing that file. is it the case that when the file is big (greater than some threshold value) firefox stores in some other directory?

You can do a search an the about:cache page.

Where can I find my picture files in the finder?

I download iPhoto with another person's account, so I never could update the new versions; because I don't know the password, and the person cannot enter to the account anymore. Now apple doesn't let me open iPhoto, because the version is too old, 9.2.1 to be exclaty. Where can I find my picture files in the finder, so I can export them and save them?

There should be an iPhoto Library in the Users> "user account" > Pictures folder.
You may also try to see about finding them through the user finder window where it says search for 'all images.'
Not sure about the rest of that situation.
Good luck & happy computing!

You aren't likely to find them in the Adobe Download Assistant. Try downloading again and see if it specifies where the files will be placed before the actual download occurs.
