Where does Lightroom 2 store my libraries (OSX)?

I am wondering where LR2 stores my libraries on OSX. If they are files imported from other directories, can I now delete those directories?

I am wondering where LR2 stores my libraries on OSX.
To find your catalog, go to Edit>Catalog Settings, clcik the Show button on General page.
To find where your image files are, Ctrl-click/right-click on any folder or image and choose Show in Finder.
If they are files imported from other directories, can I now delete those directories?
If during import you've chosen to Copy files to new location then it's safe to delete the files from their original location. If you've chosen Add photos without moving, then of course you shouldn't delete them, since Lightroom is referencing them at their original location.

where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key for file vault?

Note that you have to have specifically chosen to store the key with Apple at the time you created the FileVault encryption, and chosen security questions so that you can identify yourself when you come to retrieve it. If you did not store it with Apple in this way and do not have a record of it elsewhere then you cannot proceed. All this has nothing to do with iCloud and the process is not automatic.

Where Does Lightroom Store Catalogs, Previews, and Backups?

1. By default, where does LR store:
a. Catalogs (.lrcat)
b. Previews (.lrdata)
c. Backups of Catalogs and Previews
2. Can these locations be changed?
2a. If so, how does one specify where LR will store each of the above?
3. Is there a specific relationship of location the Catalog, the Preview, and the Backups, or any partial combination of those three, must remain in?
3a. If so, what is/are that/those relationships?

a) By default in the Lightroom folder within My Pictures / Pictures
b) Always in the same folder as the catalogue
c) Wherever you tell it - which should be somewhere different. No backup of Previews.
Re 2, just move the catalogue in Explorer / Finder, double click it. If you didn't move the Previews, LR starts a new one in the same folder as the catalogue, following (b) above.
Re 3, answered above. Backups can / should be elsewhere and it's your choice where.
Notice that in Catalog Settings there's a Show button that reveals where your catalogue is.

Where does Iphoto store ratings, arrangement of photos, events, libraries?

Hi, I currently have Leopard, I was planning on doing a clean install with Snow Leopard soon. Afterwards I plan on restoring Iphoto back to the way it was. I have a 70 gb library and importing my photos, rearranging the events, photos, and libraries would take ages if I had to start from scratch. I have my whole computer backed up using Carbon Copy Cloner. My question is where does Iphoto store the ratings, manual arrangement of photos, events, libraries, etc? Thanks

iPhoto is a relational database program and everything is stored in the iPhoto library - it must be treated as a single entity - it is not possible to isolate components in it - simply drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the clone back to the pictures folder of the main computer
To test prior to doing an erase and install (the Mac does not have a "clean install") you can depress the option key and launch iPhoto and select the backup copy and test it - be sure to do an option launch and paint back to the main library afterwards

Where does mail store downloaded photos

Where does mail store downloaded photos?

If I understood you... you can export your entire iPhoto library to an external Hard Drive? I could only see import option...
You're welcome. Yes, that is correct. In iPhoto, File > Export... > Select external drive.
You said your drive has to be specially formatted - is that for if you want to export your photos to that drive? Or do you mean if you wanted the iPhoto library to be located primarily on the hard drive?
I meant the latter > specifically, your external drive would need to be formatted in this manner if you wanted your primary iPhoto library to reside on an external drive and function correctly. This format is the format of your MBP's internal drive.
Format the drive as FAT32 using disk utility to make the drive universally compatible between OSX/windows. Place the JPEG images on the drive. Transfer between machines with no problem.

Where does Messages store attachments on the iPad?

Where does Messages store attachments on the iPad?
some photos are quite large, so it would be good to know where they go, and how to manage the app.... ;)

Managing memory usage is not possible because the user does not have access to the file structure (unless you have jail broken your iPad that is).

Where does iPhone store backups in Mac and Windows?

Where does EBS store customized LOV elements?

Dear All,
We are developing a report on EBS r12 >> Payables >> Payments screen.
The Functional Consultants Team added a DFF ( view_inv_pay.DESC_FLEX ) with only 1 segment and its description at the Invoice Payment block level ( VIEW_INV_PAY )
which synchronizes with each matched row in this block.
The values of the DFF come by selecting from an attached customized List of value that the Functional Consultants Team had populated its elements using data loader.
We have a requirement to display the DESCRIPTION of DFF segment in the report not its actual value.
So the question is:
Where does EBS store the data related to a customized LOV ?
And how to join between the LOV’s under laying tables and the below report tables
( AP_CHECKS_ALL AC , HZ_PARTIES HZP , AP_SUPPLIERS PV , GL_DAILY_CONVERSION_TYPES GDCT , AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL AIP , AP_INVOICES_ALL AI ) to display the DFF description?
Since, only the actual DFF values are stored in AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL table.

Dear Sandeep,
That is great, but what about the joining condition.
I know that i can join by the segment value in the AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL table
to be like below:
SELECT ffv.flex_value, ffv.description
FROM fnd_flex_values_vl ffv, fnd_flex_value_sets ffvs , AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL API
WHERE ffvs.flex_value_set_id = ffv.flex_value_set_id
and API.SEGMENT1 = FFV.FLEX_VALUE ; -- Assuming that the actual DFF value stored in SEGMENT1
AND ffvs.flex_value_set_name LIKE '&value_set' But for tuning issues is there any an alternative to previous condition?

Where does Keynote store the audio files in a presentation

I have slides with individual audio files. When I import or attach the file and then save the presentation, it changes the file name to .mov extension. Where does Keynote store those files? I would like to edit the saved Keynote version, but cannot locate the .mov file!

I'm not exactly sure of what you want to do, and I'm not sure if my answer is the most efficient, or even wholly correct, but here goes ...
When you save a KN presentation (a KN doc) which includes an audio (or movie) file, you can save it 2 (3?) ways: either without or with the file being copied into the document, or as a "package". In a test file I just made with 3 white slides (title, slide with song, second slide with song) the results:
without: 3.8 MB; with: 9.4 MB; package: 9.4 MB. The essential difference, aside from size, is that if saved without, if you play the KN on another machine which doesn't have those audio files on it, the audio won't be there. To make the KN truly portable, you must save with, or as a package. (I'm not too sure of the concept of package in KN. In PP, saving as a package means you end up with a folder, which contains the PP and the media files, each as separate entities. Saving a KN package yields not a folder but a file, which looks to me identical to the result achieved by simply saving with, and seems to behave identically, as well.) The audio file you used will in any case remain where it was before you used it, but, if the KN doc is saved with, or as a package, a copy of it will go into the KN doc.
But then, what do you mean by "edit"? What do you want to edit, the KN presentation, or the audio file within it? If the former, I don't understand where the problem might be. If the latter: using the QT inspector within KN, you can change the length of the audio file (where in the song it starts and stops), whether to start it on click, or automatically after transition, or to loop it. If you wanted to do some other, more exotic audio editing, like reverbs or other effects, I'd do that on (a copy of) the original audio file (found wherever it was before) with another app (GarageBand, for instance), and then I'd replace the first, non-edited, version of the audio file in the KN doc with that.
Have I missed something?
Message edited by gbdoc: maybe someone will chime in to clarify the difference between "saved with" and a "package"

Where does iPhone store contacts?

Hello,
I will be in a different country for a few days and I will buy a SIM card from a different operator over there.
Where does iPhone store contacts? Will my contacts stay on the phone with the new SIM card?
Thank you.

Contacts are stored on the device. The iPhone does not store contacts on the SIM. Make sure you have been backing up the device and syncing your contacts with a supported application on the computer or iCloud or other cloud service. Changing the SIM will not affect your contacts.

Where does Lightroom keep my photos?

I always import my photos from my CF card into my USB external hard drive. When I view my hard drive, Finder shows all my photos and I always thought that's where my pictures were.
Then, I unplugged my laptop, took it to another location, and run Lightroom on battery. Wait a minute, all the photos I thought were on the USB external hard drive which is now disconnected showed up and play perfectly in slide show.
I went Finder through every file in the Macintosh HD, I can't see a single photo, yet Lightroom is definitely keeping a copy of it somewhere in the Mac HD.
My questions are:
(1) Where does Lightroom hide these photos?
(2) How does this impact my Macintosh HD storage capacity?
(3) How can I remove these photos from the Macintosh HD so that if I lost my Macbook Pro, the thief cannot steal my photos.
Please help.
Thank you all in advance.
Eddie

What you are seeing are the previews that Lr generates for every image that gets imported.
(1) These previews are not hidden but are in the same directory as the Lr database. Read more here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=333660
(2) Lr previews -- depending on what size you generate and the number of images imported -- can consume a lot of space. But disk is cheap.
(3) Paranoia is no reason to delete the previews. Don't lose your laptop!

Where does Leopard store my Identity info?

I dunno what's going on, but Mail insists on continuing to use an email account that was closed and deleted last year, and Safari has some other issues relating to my personal info.
I'd like to take back control. Where does Leopard store my identify info?
Thanks.

Thanks, Baltwo. Any idea where I can edit the zip code that the system defaults to (which is no longer correct)? A couple of websites use my zip code to customize my visits. I can't find my zip code in anything related to Safari. I know I entered one when I first set-up the computer. Where can I find that stuff?
Thanks!

FontBook - where does it store font informations?

As I've posted here before, I've been massively frustrated by Leopard's FontBook over and over again... so much so that this afternoon's longish post was deleted by the modgods here (they say "Your post was removed from Apple Discussions as it contained feedback or feature requests" when they mean "You used foul language to describe Apple products"
Anyway, I've now installed Leopard on an external disk with one, and one purpose only: to get exactly the font files that are part of OS X 10.5.
Having done that, I
- deleted everything in /Library/Fonts
- copied all the original Apple system fonts from the external disk
- changed owner group and access data for each font resource to be exactly like the virgin 10.5
- deleted the FontBook pref file in ~/Library/Preferences
- deleted all ATS cache files
- rebooted
Now when I open FontBook, (of course) it still displays all sorts of fonts from before this open-heart surgery operation.
So my questions are:
- where does FontBook store its font informations?
- how does one clear, delete, wipe out, nuke or kill these informations... whatever is necessary to not have Zombie font descriptions lurking in FontBook?
TIA if anyone has an answer to enlighten this murky swamp!

Maybe this is interesting to someone: after my 6th or so cold reboot this morning, and Spotlight having started its ritualistic "Indexing" my external FW harddrives (for the 6th time in 3 days...), my Console is filled with hundreds of this:
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] 2007.11.23 02:34:35.85
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] A fatal error was detected using fontiD 131127 while processing a message (id: 11) from pid=425.
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] Font Info:
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] In-memory font for ATS owner 311 -> pid 425.
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] FontObject 0x2debd0; ID 131127 ( 0x20037: gen: 2; index: 55 )
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] Name:
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] No name in cache
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.ATSServer) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
23.11.07 02:34:45 com.apple.ATSServer[941] FODBError: FODBRemoveFromAnnex - Got called to remove an annexIndex that does not match what is in the font
23.11.07 02:34:45 com.apple.ATSServer[941] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now ATSserver is throttling and re-spawning, seemingly forever.
Since this OS experience can't possibly get much worse -- I guess even Windows would be better at this point -- I'll go and delete all ATS caches (again) as well as FontBook's cache files, and reboot (again).
Oh joy.

Where does TREX store data?

Hi all,
Sorry if my question is stupid, but I didn't find any document writes about database of TREX. So where does TREX store data?

Hi,
TREX creates an index from documents in a document set. An index is a collection of selected terms that represent the content of the documents indexed. To produce this, TREX indexes the original data and stores the index generated. TREX is therefore a secondary data store.
The data that the TREX queue server (queues) and the TREX index server and its search engines (search index, text-mining index, and attribute-engine index) access is not stored in a database. It is stored unencrypted in the file system as flat files in the file system. You protect the TREX files and indexes located in your file system by configuring the security of your file system. You can find details on this in the security documentation for your operating system.
