Temporary internet files and track pad

hi there.
I purchases my macbook on black friday. I love it. I used one about 14 yrs ago..and some things have changed. it is much easier to navigate.
I have a few questions. I will try to put them in the correct forums.
temp internet files
1. does make have temporary internet files and cookies like PCs do. DO you need to delete them like you need to on a PC? If so, how is this done?
trackpad
2. on my tablet, I could tap on my trackpad to where i want my cursor to be. When I am using my mac, I have to click on the left click . Is there any way to do this by tapping on the track pad?
thanks for your help

Should it go gray after you first empty the caches as you just emptied it and there should be nothing left to empty?
No. It'll remain selectable (in black) regardless of the state of the cache.
Also is there a folder that contains the files, so that you can physically view if there are any that have not been delieted.
Yes there is…
~/Library/Caches/Safari
… where ~ means your home directory.

What are LRPREV files, and how do I open them?

I uploaded some pictures onto my laptop from my phone. They seem to have disappeared completely, as they are no longer on my phone, in any of my laptop folders (i've checked several times) or my laptop recycling bin. Having said that, many LRPREV files have appeared in a couple of my folders, which I had not seen before. Putting 2 and 2 together, it seems like the photos from the phone may have unintentionally been converted into this file type.
My main problem is that I can't open them, so I can't see them to find out. What are LRPREV files and how can I open them? Otherwise, would I be able to convert them into a file type which I should be able to view?
I would also be grateful if anyone had any suggestions of where my photos may have gone to.
Thanks.

I am no expert but have had LR since LR3. Did you import the photos into your LR catalog? It sounds like you have at least viewed the photos using LR or they would not show up in your LRPREV files. LRPREV files are those that have been at least looked at in LR because LR automatically makes previews (thumbnails) of photos you have actually added to a catalog or at least attempted to import. When you upload photos from your phone what folder do you send them to? Why are the original files no longer on your phone, do you automatically delete photos after you import them? You shouldn't do that until you at least confirm you can see them on your computer and have backed them up to at least a second, preferably offline, location. I would open your LR catalog and look for for a line in your navigation module indicating recent imports? I probably haven't helped you much.

In my storage summary it says other files. It shows 30GB what are these files and how do I remove them

I am trying to remove files to get my computer to run better. In the storage summery it shows a category OTHER. What are these file and how can I remove them. I went through my downloads and documents and copied them and then removed them. What else could they be??

They are files that cannot be put in the other categories. They are documents, email, cache, temp, OS files, etc.

Aren't they in your iTunes library? If so, sync them back to your phone. If not, redownload them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

GPO Disk space to use (8-1024 MB) for Temporary Internet Files and History Settings

I am trying to create a GPO that will allow me to specify 1024 (MB) for Disk space to use to go to IE, the General Tab, Settings,
In the box below there is a box fo Disk space to use. There is a GPO for this under...
User configuration, windows settings, Internet Explorer Maintenance, (use preferred mode) Corporate Settings, Temporary Internet Files, (I select for the settings) Every visit to the page
Set amount of disk space to use (in MB)
It maxes out at 256 MB - I tried to manually adjust this but it does not work....
I tried to adjust some equivalent registry entries for under content, cachelimit (decimal) 102400 but it did not work.
Any ideas how to adjust it so that it will allow to use 1024 MB? I tried just about everything....

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
Before going further, what’s the operating systems of our server and client?
As far as I know, we have to use customized .adm or .admx file to reset the maximum size of IE cache size.
If our server is Window Server 2003 and client is Windows XP, we can refer to the following thread for the customized .adm file.
GPO for IE Disk Space Cache

If our server is Windows server 2008 or above, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Creating a Custom Base ADMX File

In addition, we can try asking in the following forum to see whether they can help.

How do I manually delete temporary internet files, and if I delete them on IE are they also deleted onFirefox?

I know how to delete cookies on firefox but have not figured out how to delete temporary internet files. I can do it on IE, does that do the job or do I have to delete TIF's on firefox also?

The equivalent of temporary internet files on Firefox is the cache. For details of how to clear it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
Clearing TIFs in IE will not clear the cache in Firefox.

Where do I find my upgrade date and how do I find out when I bought the phone??

I need to know where I can find my upgrade date and is there any way to find out when I started my services with Verizon?someone help plezzzzz! thanx

Log on to your account, and click on the picture of your phone. It will show you when you can upgrade and when your contract ends. You can go back two years (or one year, if you opted for a one year contract) to figure your start date for that contract.
If this was not your first contract, and you've been with Verizon for several years, you may need to call customer service to find out your original start date.

Where to find old backup files and how to use it to restore

Hi,
Need help. I did a OS update to iOS 6 today.
Before the update I did backup my phone on my PC.
But since that backup there was a new back up that created automatically when I connected my phone back to the PC. Now with some issues I want to rollback to previous backup. But this backup file is not visible in the restore from backup list. Is there anyway I can manually find this file and try to restore from it.
In the backup folder I can see a few files with previous backup time stamp but not sure how I can use these files and which file to use..
Pls help.. Thanks.

Open the Users folder on the internal drive, drag the migrated home folder to the desktop, and provide your administrator password.

HT3680 My 3 year old iMac is freezing and I get a message "startup disk almost full for running applications. delete files..." Where do I find the startup disk and what should I delete?

My 3 year old Mac is having trouble and freezes up from time to time lately. I get a message saying "startup disk almost full, delete files ..." something about having enough room for applications to function. I know my startup disk is the Macintosh HD, but what kind of files do I need to delete and how much space do I need to free up? In my "about this mac" area, it says I have 4.89gb free out of 319.21 So I am confused why I need to do this.

You're less than 2% free and should always have at least 15% (my SWAG). Best is to get an ext FWHD and move stuff from the startup disk to it and delete it from that. Best things to move are movies, music, and photos, using the apps that manage those things.

My hardrive keeping filling up with "other" files. How do I delete them and keep them from building back up?

I am new to Apple/MacBook this year, so far I am just plain frustrated. My harddrive keeps filling up with "other" files and I dete them and they always come back from using apple mail. I have used tech support and filters but it still happens over and over. Any help here? I would SO appreciate it!

Boot in safe mode by shutting down, then restarting and holding down the shift key, keeping it down until you see the Apple logo on the display. Safe mode is slow to boot and run.
While in safe mode, use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up a lot of space:
OmniDiskSweeper - Products - The Omni Group
Don't launch any other applications. After completing this test, and deleting some files, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

What are these random files and how do i stop them?

I just bought my macbook pro about a month ago so I'm new to it. But recently, Ive noticed that randome movie files and pictures have been showing up under the "all documents" button in finder. Some of these pictures I recognize from photobooth, but they were taken on a different computer way before i even purchased this one. And other files like the movie files and some of the pictures are completely random and I've never seen them before. The movie files are short 10 sec films and the photos are just photos. anyone have a clue on whats going on here?

How are u connected, as in ISP, University Network, etc.? I get shares like that too, as my ISP here in Nepal is using some crazy way of sharing connections with customers. I called and asked them once, but they have not clue about Macs. I suspect it's a technician doing some work in the office, who is tapped into the same C1 connection that I am using, but it is a bit disconcerting to see computers you don't know on your Network.
When I teach in Thailand, I am on a university system that will show all the users connected to the same hotspot. That's why I lock down my sharing when there. It's kinda crazy, as I don't really understand all the security settings and what they imply. It would be nice if there were a guide for home/small business Lans on what exactly the settings should be in OSX, but I suppose it's all out there in Google, somewhere...

What are "Name$1.class" files and how do I generate them in Eclipse

I have the source code of a rather large java application and I want to set up an Eclipse project for it.
After diffing the WEB-INF directory generated by Eclipse with the one generated by the original maven build script I noticed that there are several files of the form "Name$1.class" which do not exist in the Eclipse output.
My questions are, what is the purpose of this $1 string in the class file name and how do I generate those in Eclipse?

ok, but why are they generated in the Maven environment but not in the Eclipse environment?
To be exact, Eclipse does create inner class files, however when diffing both output directories I have some extra inner class files generated by Maven that are not there in the Eclipse output.
Maybe there are some java compiler settings for this?

Deleting Temporary Internet Files and Cookies

Hello
I'm new to the world of Macs and am puzzled by this issue. On WinXP there is a way to delete the masses of temporary files that accumulate when browsing on-line. Is there a way to do this on a Mac? I cannot find anything about this in any of the books on Tiger I possess and my pal who encouraged me to get the G5 hasn't "even thought about it!" Does it happen automatically (as does Defragging, so I read) or isn't it an issue with MacOS's?

PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Graphics and Internet only

Thank you so much, maclover. I'm extremely impressed by how quickly my query has been answered. And your warm words of welcome are appreciated.
I have to say that my introduction to Macs was rather fraught. My Powermac behaved most oddly when I set it up. I assumed it was my inexperience that caused it to respond to opening Photoshop by telling me "This server is not available or doesn't exist"! or show its infuriating rainbow wheel in permanent motion when I clicked on iPhoto, and many other quirks. My mac-using friend was aghast at what mine got up to and I went back to my (fairly) reliable pc. But a re-install of the system discs effected a miracle cure and I'm completely at home with the gear now. When I read the very partisan "Macs are wonderful, Windows pcs are rubbish" in certain magazines I do think back to how close my Powermac came to being kicked across the room. A brand new machine from the Apple Store shouldn't have been like that.
Now I've got that off my chest I can only thank you again
Regards

What are .toast files and how do I run them?

I heard that I need Roxio's Toast 9 Titanium to open a .toast file, otherwise it won't work well.
Is that how it works?
Also, what's the difference between a .toast and a .dmg?

I heard that I need Roxio's Toast 9 Titanium to open a .toast file,
Yep. Or an older version, so long it's Toast.
otherwise it won't work well.
It won't work *at all.*..
Is that how it works?
You know the saying, "to each his own..."
Also, what's the difference between a .toast and a .dmg?
.toast is Roxio propietary format, .dmg is Apple propietary format. The open equivalent is .iso
