Where does Lion store data that is sync'd to MobileMe?

My MobileMe data is probably corrupted, possibly both in the cloud and on my Mac, according to the folks at Genius Bar and MobileMe Live Chat. I need to restore the data on my Mac from a Time Machine backup and then overwrite the info in the cloud. The Live Chat guy can't help because it is now a Time Machine issue, not a MobileMe issue, and the Genius Bar would need to keep my computer and backup disk for at least 2 days (!!), so I am trying to fix it myself. I have a recent backup so I don't mind trashing the data on my Mac, but I don't know where to find the relevant files on my Mac. The data that needs to be replaced is Bookmarks, Contacts, Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, Signatures, and Smart Mailboxes, Notes, and Preferences. Any suggestions?

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.

WHERE does BC store tokens that trigger recurring Paypal Pro donations?

Some customers who initiate monthly donations through our BC website into Paypal Pro do not even show up on my list of recurring payment customers when I'm logged into Paypal Pro. Yet their monthly donations continue.
We are dealing with some very frustrated donors because we cannot FIND the donors in Paypal to make adjustment or cancel a recurring payment when they needed stop or suspend the recurring donation for a time.
One faithful donor actually had to change credit card expiration date in order to stop a recurring payment!
WHERE does BC store tokens that initiate recurring payments so amounts can be adjusted or cancelled??!
This is an urgent matter - Someone from BC please HELP!
MJ

Liam, This is RT. We created this website. It is set up to with PayPal Pro seamless gateway and it uses secure zones to charge recurring donations. We have used this same method with other sites and none of them have isssues. I have addressed this in a forum a month ago but have not received any replies: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5771650#5771650
We have been tracking teh error codes for each failed charge and they all relate to failers due to security isses and due to expired card. I explained in much more detail in my post.
Here are a few:

Depends on game, i would look first on the game file itself, right click (or ctrl click) the game file you installed (Applications?) and select show package contents, its usually a application bundle, as in basicly a folder where the application and the required files and subfolders are.

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?

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] 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 Lion get its usernames? (former Linux user)

Just some minutes ago, I opened the lid of my Macbook and noticed that something was using the CPU for 50% continuously. When I opened Activity Monitor, the only two CPU-using processes were kernel_task and WindowsServer, but not enough to cover 50%.
Safari also wouldn't respond. Force-quitting worked, but starting it again would show the window but then result in a spinning beachball of death.
When I opened the terminal, the prompt said "I have no name!@macbook$ "
When I typed the command "id", it gave me a user ID (502) but no username!
After killing all apps and mucking about, the CPU suddenly went back to the normal 3-5% usage, and everything worked fine again.
Obviously, something went wrong with the process that does the user identification. As a former Linux user, I'd say the user data resides in /etc/passwd but that's not where it's at. Where does Lion get its usernames and passwords?

OK thanks for the DSCL tip. I've found another thread with the same symptoms:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3663559
The logs of the opendirectoryd process show that it restarted itself (from /var/log/opendirectoryd.log):

Apr 15 13:03:32 macbook coreservicesd[31]: _scserver_ServerCheckin: client uid validation failure; getpwuid(502) == NULL
And then thousands of these two lines follow:

Apr 15 13:03:43 macbook com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.xpchelper.F6010000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000[95253]): Exited with code: 1
Let's see if it happens again in the future. I'm logging this for reference and Google.

[Mac][JS] Where does InDesign store last "Save As" folder path?

Is this location accessible to scripting? I've looked around the preferences objects as well as the "Class" properties of the File and Folder objects without finding anything.
Coming up empty-handed there, I looked through the filesystem for .plist files it might be using. It must be stored in some such place, because the location persists across sessions and survives a trashing of the InDesign Defaults file at ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 7.0/en_US/InDesign Defaults. It also seems to write the location to wherever it lives immediately upon a Save As rather than at application close. I've tried discovering the location with lsof but either can't catch it in the act or am missing which of the hundreds of files InDesign has open is the culprit.
It does not appear to be in com.adobe.InDesign.plist or com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist. There is a path property (NSNavLastRootDirectory) stored in the former file but it's not the one.
I hope I'm making this more complicated than it is and that it can be accessed in a DOM property somewhere. Does anyone know?
Jeff

So you're asking the wrong question. You dont' care "where does InDesign store it," you care "where can I get it?"
Actually I'd like to set it as well as get it. I would like to integrate with InDesign's expected behavior as much as possible; it would be ideal if, the next time a user did a Save As, it defaulted to the location they had chosen when they ran my script. Little inconsistencies like that drive me batty. It's a small issue and quite likely not worth the time I'm spending on it, but at this point I'm so confused by how InDesign is maintaining these paths that I would like to understand for understanding's sake.
The InDesign Saved Data cache file you pointed out does indeed contain a lot of paths, and these kinds of save, import and export locations appear to be among them. They jump around in the file a lot, though. If you have any experience parsing this file and can help me look for whatever markers it uses I would be grateful.
While in my earlier tests I never saw any path property in com.adobe.InDesign.plist but NSNavLastRootDirectory, I have since sometimes seen NSNavLastCurrentDirectory:GetFile:0 and NSNavLastCurrentDirectory:PutFile:0, and these do hold what you would expect. However, all installed versions of InDesign read and write to this file without affecting each other's behavior in this regard. And I haven't been able to figure out yet when InDesign writes or reads the path to its cache file and when it uses the .plist file.
Complicating things further, it looks to me like calling File.saveDialog() in CS5 brings up the folder in NSNavLastRootDirectory, regardless of what was last chosen during a Save As in the UI, while CS4 respected the last Save As. Using the value in NSNavLastRootDirectory via
var startFolder = Folder(app.doScript("return (do shell script \"defaults read \" & \"com.adobe.InDesign\" & \" NSNavLastRootDirectory\")",ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE))
will at least allow me to prevent the user from landing in a restricted folder in CS5.

Where does flash store Add-ins

Why do I need to know this?
I want to try something, theres a .deb for adobe connect addin, inside, a compiled binary, I want to try and see if I can throw that binary at flash as an addin and see if it'll work. I realize only Ubuntu is supported, but I've had this work with other things from Ubunto.

The data are in:

where Data aplikací means something like application data or something like that in english.
I'm not sure if you can change that location. Maybe by hacking in registries.

Where does MAX store channel config such as names, input type, and scalers

Where does MAX store the channel configuration such as the channel names, input type (volts, current, etc), and scaling info?
Unfortunately, our hard drive failed and our Labview back up folder didn't include the MAX channel description/configuration. Our hard drive is currently at a data recovery service and it would be much simpler if we could recover the file instead of re-creating all the channels within MAX. Any help to find the actual location and file name/s would be greatly appreciated.
We are currently using Labview 7.1 on an XP platform that is now freshly installed. Once I complete the install, I plan on making a ghost image of the drive to prevent this from every happening again
Thanks

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"
