Where does Elements 10 store its catelog file

I had 32gb on my mac hard disk. I asked elements 10 organiser to catelog my 10,000 photos. It ran through the process then aborted at the end. I have uninstalled Elements but I still have "lost" a load of disk space. I am thinking my organiser photo file is somewhere on my disk still ? Does anyone know where it is stored ? Thanks.

The catalog shouldn't take up that much space unless you imported from iphoto, in which case your photos were all copied and in that case it's the copies, not catalog itself, that are taking up space. The actual catalog file location can be found by going to Help>System info in the organizer.

Where does Bridge CS5 store the metadata files?

Where does Bridge CS5 store the metadata files that are created under the Tools menu? I moved CS5 from one drive to another on my Mac Pro and lost all of them. I'd like to recover them is possible.

Yikes!

First of all, all Adobe applications really need to be installed and reside permanently on your boot volume, i.e. the same volume where your OS resides. There will be endless grief if you install the applications elsewhere.
Secondly, I hope by "moved" you mean that you deactivated CS5 and then used the Adobe Uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then re-installed CS5 from the original media, from scratch, and not just drag-copied the Application folder. And hopefully there's an OS installation on that other drive that will allow you to boot off that drive.
Third, you need to refer to your preferences in Bridge as you set them to find out whether you were keeping the cache in distributed folders or were using the central database, whether you were using separate xmp sidecar files, whether you had Export Cache to Distributed Folders set in Bridge preferences, etc..

Where does Acrobat Reader store its print preferences?

I'm trying to print a file directly with no human interaction using Acrobat Reader. To do such, I'm using the command line arguments "acrord32.exe /t filename \\printerlocation\printer".
Printing works just fine except for one detail: some of my pdf files need printing with "Auto Rotate and Center" checked and "Page Scaling" to "None", while others need "Auto Rotate and Center" unchecked and "Page Scaling" to "Fit to Printable Area"...
I've realised that Acrobat Reader stores its last selected preferences (if you close Acrobat and re-open it, these two settings are still set as they were the last time you closed Acrobat) but the question is... where?!
I've noticed the bprintAutoRotate and the bprintExpandToFit keys in the registry under (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral) and they even change their values whenever I change the options in Reader and close the application, but changing them through my application seems to have no effect - I see the values changing in the registry but Acrobat still prints (and displays if I open the print preferences dialog) the last settings it had memorized before I changed them in my application...
Is there any other location where Acrobat stores these printing preferences? Is there a way to change these settings through the windows registry or any other configuration file(s)?!
By the way, I'm using Acrobat Reader 8.1.3.
Thanks in advance

Where does Internet Connect store its info?

I've managed to mess up my Internet Connect settings (which used to work fine, with VPNs etc. etc.). Fortunately I have a complete mirror backup of my disk from before this problem. I don't want to do a full restore; does anyone know if there's a file that stores the Internet Connect preferences and settings that I can just copy over?
Mike

This sounds like a job for ~/Library/Preferences. And indeed, I have some files there with likely looking names, such as,
com.apple.internetconfig.plist
com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
com.apple.internetconnect.plist
I don't know if these are the ones you need to recover. You could check there modified dates using Get Info; if the date(s) are about when you messed things up that would suggest maybe they are.

Where does address book store its addresses?

I have tried to do an 'archive install' of 10.5.4, then up to 10.5.8 after having installed snow leopard (10.6.2) and stupidly assumed that my addresses (and calendar in iCal) would be there somewhere or in my backed up libraries on external HD...
but cannot find a trace...any kind person know where they would be?

It affects decision to upgrade to SL, because once you do it (a) you probably need to give it a 2 month run to test it fully (b) by then pre-upgrade info is getting a bit out of date (c) a return to 10.5 seems difficult without loss of information if, as I am experiencing, the 'previous system' folder does not contain any information added during the 10.6 trial period.
It COULD BE that IF I had had a time machine or used other software to make a full-off computer back up from 10.6 that would be readable by 10.5, there would be no problem. But I would need a report from someone who has actually done this successfully to be convinced.
I am actually finding more and more problems, eg at present I cannot send email, though for a while I was receiving it perfectly well, I think maybe because I HAD to feed in new information 'blind' before I could get access to Mail at all and it is now nearly impossible to correct the anomaly - but that is a Mail question which I am probably about to post

Where does Mail store its email files

hi there, I'm having a bit of an email crisis.
background: I have a MacBook Pro circa 2012 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with over 28 or 29GB of free space.
For email, I have a primary address through Cox Cable and some secondary Cox Cable email accounts for junk mail and the like. Recently, there was some recurring difficulty retrieving the Cox emails. The Mail program would open up and look for the Cox Cable email accounts and variously fail to connect with any of them. The Mail program would tell me that it was unable to access the account and suggest I enter my password.
I decided to delete the accounts and set them up again to see if doing so would grab the most current SMTP settings, etc.. Doing so, I may have accidentally deleted from local storage (on my computer) my old archive of sent and received mail (going back to 2006). More on that later.
When establishing the settings in Mail for the cox accounts, I left the feature on where Mail would leave the the emails on my Cox email server (which only uses 7% of its space currently). This seemed to correct the retrieval errors I was getting before. Something else strange happened. Sometimes when I would send mail, it would send, I'd hear the whooshing sound, but it would not store a copy of it in my sent email folder. In most cases, the recipients confirmed receipt. This would only happen with some sent mail. Others would be deposited into the Sent mail folder in Mail as usual.
Questions:
(1) Where does OS X store the Mail email files? I can't find any folder with an xbox file or any other file.
(2) How can I find out if my missing email archive doesn't exist somewhere else on my laptop right now and my Mail program can't find it.
(2) If I well and truly deleted the archive not only from my Mail program but also from my laptop, am I able to import my email archive from my external hard drive where it was backed up? I'd like to leave the archive in an archive folder in Mail so that I can see it and search it when necessary without having to plug in my external drive and also so there are two copies of this email archive.
Any advice you can provide will be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

hi. update. I found the hidden Library folder where the mbox email files are located as follows:
click on your finder to open it
click the GO command from the drop down menu and before clicking again press and hold down the option key. that reveals in the Go drop-down menu the hidden Library folder. Click on that Library folder to open it.
from there, look for a sub folder called Mail
click on that and see a sub folder called V2.
click on that and you'll find subfolders for the email accounts you've established, inside which are the .mbox files that represent those email databases.
however, once inside there, I found no .mbox files for the old archived files and so I think that I goofed and well and truly deleted the old POP emails when switching from POP to IMAP about two weeks back.
the good news is that I was backing up somewhat regularly via Time Machine to an external drive. So I recovered the old POP emails into an separate INBOX and SENT MAIL archive that now sits again on my Mac in my Mail program, somewhere below the active mail folders I use daily.
The POP email protocol was lately prone to these 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages and that's what prompted me to try to change my settings. When I did, I must have found that Cox email now supports IMAP for residential customers and made the switch from POP to IMAP, inadvertently deleting the old POP email.
The IMAP protocol resolved the 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages that Mail used to give me under the POP protocol. But left the problem of certain sent mails not being stored immediately in my local sent mail folder on my Mac.
unresolved questions are:
i generally liked switching from POP to IMAP because my email on my phone and laptop are more apt to be in sync and coordinated, and it resolved the connection/password problems I had with POP. I'd like to keep on IMAP. I have experienced the occasional missing sent mail. So far as I can tell, when sending the email from my laptop, I hear the swoosh of sent mail and the recipients do receive it but a copy if not always delivered into my local sent mail folder. a copy of it is stored on the Cox email server, however.
any workaround that issue? It leaves me wondering sometimes whether the mail was sent or received and I also need a record of all email sent on my laptop for future reference.
is it possible this missing sent mail only happens when there are attachments? it doesn't happen every time. I've noticed it has happened when I've sent emails with attachments.
any help you can give is appreciated!

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto) they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.

Where does GUI_UPLOAD function store the files?

Where does GUI_UPLOAD function store the files?

Hi Audrey
Here is an example of accessing files from application server:
open dataset w_file for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message e895 with 'Unable to locate file'.
else.
    do.
      read dataset w_file into it_data.
      if sy-subrc eq 4.            " End of file reached
        clear it_data.
        exit.
      else.
        append it_data.
        clear it_data.
      endif.
    enddo.
    close dataset w_file.
In the above example, w_file is declared as string containing c:\usr\sap\test.txt
And this file should be there on this path on application server.
And, yes, you need to declare it_data as an internal table containing fields corresponding to file from which you are reading data.

When I transfer photos from my camera to my computer, where does the computer store them?

When I transfer photos from my camera to my computer, where does the computer store them?

Assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later.
By default the photos are stored in the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.
The iPhoto Library is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. This is a simple protection from users inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
As an FYI: There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Where does Front Row get its list of Videos?

Where does Front Row get its list of Videos? And how do I purge this list? Front Row is listing Videos that no longer exist on my computer and when selected do nothing.
I tried by trashing my prefs, but the same missing files are still in the list.

ok, worked on it a little bit more... the only thing left was an entry in the library file, when you opened the xml file in safari you could find the entry. I didn't dare playing around with the file itself, but found a script called: "super remove dead tracks" on this website, which does the trick: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts01.php?page=1#removedeadsuper
it worked great, nothing is showing up in front row any.

Where does DW CS5 store FTP and other data in W7

My computer self destructed the boot sectors of it's system disc. I managed to get a clever chap to rescue all the app data and have managed to get back all my browserss book marks, pass words etc.
My next stap is to try and get back all my presets and FTP data for all my client's web sites in dreamweaver, without all the pain and grief of reloading it all manually.
So - where does Dreamweaver CS5 store all the site data etc on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine?
Many thanks

The only way to retrieve site definitions is from previously exported .ste files.
To backup, go to Sites > Manage Sites > Export...
To recover, go to Sites > Manage Sites > Import > browse to .ste files on your hard disk, local site folders or removable flash drive.
If you didn't backup your site definition settings to a safe place, I'm afraid you'll need to manually input this info again.

Where does OS X store previous display configuration data?

Dear forum,
Where does OS X store the configuration data regarding external displays? My settings are screwed up and I think that if I remove my configuration and let it discover my display as though it was the first time, it may work. Right now when I plug in my dongle, OS X sees it and goes into dual-display mode, but my big monitor (the primary one) never wakes up.
I have tested my PowerBook with other displays using the same cables and DVI/VGA dongle, and it all works swimmingly. My display works with my other laptop (which is a Windows box, so perhaps my mac smells another computer and is throwing a jealous fit).
Thanks for the help.

Hello Gabe:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Preferences are stored in "plist" files. Do a "find" on 'plist.' All of the preference files will be displayed (typically several hundred). You can hunt through those to see if you see the one you reference. You can safely trash a preference file. OS X rebuilds them as needed (you do have to reenter your personal preferences).
