Where do large FLV files go on Mac OS Lion

Where do large FLV video files get stored on Mac OS, Mountain Lion?
Firefox stores small FLV video files (less than 10 minute long) under /Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<user's profilename>/Cache, but it does not store larger ones (longer than 10 minutes). I also increased the cache maximum limit to 350 MB and I still have the same problem.
Where those larger FLV video file go?
Please help!

FLV files are usually streamed and played by a dedicated Flash media player.<br />
Streamed files are usually not stored in the Firefox disk cache, but more likely in the memory cache and only that last downloaded chunk may be present.
It is best to use an extension if you want a copy of such a media file.

    Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
    I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason.  I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
    It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

  • How can I get Firefox to store the larger FLV Files in Cache ?

    I use Cache Viewer Revisited to save cache files & for some reason larger FLV Files won`t store in the FireFox Cache...
    Even under "about cache" Large FLV Files show as 0 in size

    You can try to check if the video is being fully stored by using a stand-alone cache viewer. eg. [http://nirsoft.net/utils/video_cache_view.html VideoCacheView]
    Please note that this is an unknown application. Many security software may flag the site or the software as suspicious. There could be many similar applications.

  • Where does PSE store files on a Mac

    I just installed PSE 10 on my MacBook. I had been using Iphoto'08 but when I bought a new camera, I wanted something more sophisticated both for organizing my photos and for editing and enhancing them.
    So far I installed PSE 10 successfully and have been playing with it. The Organizer works well and does what I want it to do. My intention is to use Organizer for new photos and leave the old ones on Iphoto for now. However, what I cannot work out is where PSE stores the files on the Mac after I work on them. It does not look like they are back in Iphoto as I have made changes to photos that are not reflected in there.
    Can anyone enlighten me on this?

    Just to clarify: Under normal circumstances the organizer is nothing but a database. It doesn't move/copy/etc anything, just makes a note of where it is. The one exception is when you use the From iPhoto command to import. In that case, organizer makes a duplicate to avoid writing into the iphoto library, which could easily make you lose all your photos.
    If you mean you have images in organizer and you want to find their physical location, right-click the image in question, choose Show Properties, and then you should see something like this:
    Where you can see the full file path next to the little folder icon.

  • Can't open FLV files on my Mac

    I'm a real life novice to Flash and I need to convert short
    video clip from Quicktime to Flash. I can create an FLV file that

  • Free .flv file player for MAC OS 9 ?

    Anybody know of a free MAC OS 9 .flv file player or converter?
    Thanks

    This works for me when installed in the Plugin Folder of Internet Explorer 5.17 in OS9.22. For example YouTube videos, which require Flash, run fine (if rather slow to load on my dial up account).

  • Are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

    are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

    Files aren't ntfs or hfs or ufs or zfs.
    Those are file systems that is the basis for how the OS stores the files on the computer. Files are store inside a file system, but the file system doesn't normally affect the file itself.
    Mac OS X can natively read nt file systems. If you want to write, then you'll need something like Siddharth Khanna pointed out. I've also used Tuxera's product. You can use a combination of MacFuse and NTFS-3G for free, but if you need normal everyday access, that's going to fall short, I think.
    On the other hand, Windows can't natively handle HFS+ at all. If you need to format an external drive to work with both, I'd suggest using exFAT. Mac OS X from 10.6.6 on can read and write it, and Windows back to some version of XP can read/write it. As the name implies, it is much like FAT, but on steroids. It can handle very large file sizes and disk sizes.

  • Unable to share files with other Macs after lion Upgrade

    I am unable to share files other macs on my home network.
    I receive an error message that the server will not allow additional users to log on.
    I can connect to windows machines and can use mac screen sharing.

    I have multiple machines with Lion installed (Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 2.66 GHz Mac Mini & a late 2010 iMac) and several more runing Snow Leopard. I cannot make AFP connections to any Lion machine from any other machine, Lion or not. At the same time I can make Screen Sharing connections and several other types of connection to the Lion machines, and can make any type of connection (including AFP) from the Lion machines to the Snow Leopard machines.
    After I enter my password, attempted AFP connections to Lion invariably draw the "This file server will not allow any additional users to log on" alert.
    Yet the target Lion machine shows "Number of users connected 0". I don't know how to find the crash log, but no AFPFileServer process appears in the Activity Monitor's All Processes list on the 2 Lion machines I checked, so this might be the problem. I've tried repairing the file system & permissions, to no avail.
    => Spettinger's workaround - switching AFP off and SMB on - does indeed allow me to make file sharing connections to my Lion machines. Thanks spettinger!
    But, how can this be? There is nothing unusual about my configuration: its all recent Apple hardware & system software, with no 3rd-party protocols & no hacking. Why doesn't everyone who shares files have this exact problem?

  • Where are the update file downloaded on Mac iTunes?

    I'd like to know where iTunes does put the iPhone update file, because I suspect the one it downloaded for version 2.0 of OS is not good as at the "verifying the iPhone software" state of the update, iTunes reported "error -6" and the iPhone passed in DFU mode.
    So I would like it to re-download it, and for that I think I need to remove the already downloaded file, no?
    EDIT: I found it. FYI, it's in ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/
    Message was edited by: iFrodo

    Thanks for the help! They were exactly where you said. I just navigated to the folder as you described and had to look through each one until the folder with the Reminders showed up. (Specifically, I had to go through the .caldav folder). I hope this helped the other person as well.
    By the way, do you know how to make the Reminders show up again in the completed list? I tried copying them into the real Reminders folder on my Mac, but they don't appear in the actual app. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they were orginally deleted. But either way, I can still see the dates.
    Thanks once again.

  • Sending large video files from a Mac to a PC

    I have a Mac computer. My son has a PC. I want to send him some video files - some individual files are 12GB in size. I understand that 16GB flash drives will not help me because they have a limit of 4GB per file.
    I thought I would put the video files on a hard drive with my Mac computer and send the hard drive to my son so that the video can be seen or downloaded on his PC computer. The video files are in HD high definition. But I'm sure there are compatibility problems I can't begin to conceive.
    I know I could use TOAST to make a dvd-r of the video files that can be played on a dvd player- but they would no longer be HD. I have Toast 9.
    Also - about these media drives - could I just put my HD video files on these new 'media' drives which can be connected to a TV ( that's the only other option I can think of ).
    I've also heard of software called MacDrive8 which supposedly makes a hard drive accessible to both PC and Mac computers. Has anyone used MacDrive8?
    How do Mac PC people share mega HD files these days?
    More info - This video file of the recent Little League Championships is in mpeg-4 format. Would Real Player or QuickTime on a PC play them ?
    As a last resort I could break up the video file into segments of 4GB or less and put them on a Flash drive - I think Mac/PC compatible Flash drives exist right ?
    thank you

    The 4GB single-file size limitation is because of the FAT32 file system usually used on these flash drives.
    An alternative would be to use the NTFS file system on these flash drives since it does not have the file size limitation and is also native for Windows PCs.
    But, while MAc OSX can read and write from/to the FAT32 file system, it can only read from NTFS file system.
    To enable write access to NTFS drives, you have to install a third-party file system driver like the free NTFS-3G http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ or the commercial Paragon NTFS for Mac or Tuxera NTFS for Mac.

    See my answer above. You run into the same compatibility issues as with a flash drive.
    I know I could use TOAST to make a dvd-r of the video files that can be played on a dvd player- but they would no longer be HD. I have Toast 9.
    Personally I wouldn't do this: too pricey (the discs) and not very praticable.
    Also - about these media drives - could I just put my HD video files on these new 'media' drives which can be connected to a TV ( that's the only other option I can think of ).
    Sorry, I don't know. Haven't looked into these devices that much.
    I've also heard of software called MacDrive8 which supposedly makes a hard drive accessible to both PC and Mac computers. Has anyone used MacDrive8?
    MacDrive is the "counterpart" so to speak to the above mentioned NTFS file system drivers for Mac OSX.
    It enables Windows to read and write from/to drives (harddisk, flash drives, etc.) that use the Mac OSX file system (MacOS Extended).
    How do Mac PC people share mega HD files these days?
    Either NTFS drivers for Mac OSX or MacDrive for Windows.
    More info - This video file of the recent Little League Championships is in mpeg-4 format. Would Real Player or QuickTime on a PC play them ?
    Don't know. Don't use video files that much. Sorry
    As a last resort I could break up the video file into segments of 4GB or less and put them on a Flash drive - I think Mac/PC compatible Flash drives exist right ?
    When using FAt32 file system every disk is compatible to Macs and Windows PCs.
    thank you

  • Best way to share large video files between 2 macs

    My partner in NY is trying to send me over 10 GB of video to edit. We are currently doing it over AIM/ichat.
    Is there a better way to do this? As we keep losing the connection, probably due to aim. Can he turn his mac into an FTP or something

    This is easily done over AFP. He should:
    1) Put the files in /Users/hisaccount/Public
    2) Enable File Sharing (System Preferences -> Sharing)
    3) Note his IP address (System Preferences -> Network) and e-mail the IP address to you
    Once he has done that, you should:
    1) Under Finder's Go menu, select Connect to Server
    2) Enter afp://11.22.33.44 (or whatever his IP address is)
    3) Browse his public folder for the files
    4) Drag them to your Desktop or desired location to make your own copy of them.
    10GB is a lot of data to send over the internet. Depending on the upload speed of his internet connection it might just be faster to burn a few DVDs and send them to you by express mail.
