Where does Software Update put the downloaded files?

when Download Only is selected?

FWIW, that folder opens for you in Finder when Software Update finishes, which you probably already knew. What you might not know is that you can see any folder's location in the file hierarchy in Finder by Command clicking & holding on its icon or name at the top of the Finder window -- you get a drop down list of the enclosing folders in reverse order. Moving the pointer to any of those items & releasing the button jumps you directly to that folder.
Pretty slick, huh?

    The download button will be disabled if you are not on a WiFi connection at the present time.
    My 4G/LTE connection is actually faster than my available WiFi (in this present location), but those are the rules...

  • 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 Software Updater download files to?

    I inadvertently had the "Automatically Download Updates" box checked so even though I didn't want to install updates they were downloaded.
    I'd like to get rid of them, where are they held?

    Do note however, that after restart, sometimes the ones put into /Library/Updates/ are blown away, although their information is added to the index.plist. I've submitted a bug report, but it hasn't been fixed as yet. If you want to retain those, copy the ones put into /Library/Updates/ to another location before clicking on the restart button. Then, after the update's installed, move it to the Updates folder if they were blown away.

  • Where does xcode 5 save the executable files that it creates?

    I already built my console application, and I can run it from xCode as well. Now I'd like to find the executable file it generates. I saw in an old tip in this forum that it's just to right-click the corresponding product item and select Show in Finder in the menu. However that option is disabled, as you can see in the picture below.
    I also tryied the bin\release\debug and it's not there as well.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Tks in advance,
    Mauro Assis

    I checked the Locations and they're default, as you can see below:
    Am I correct?
    Opening the default path in Finder:
    Do you think it should be here? Where?
    Tks again,

  • Where does UrlLoader's load() method download files to?

    Hi,
    I am downloading large files using URLLoader() and am
    noticing that if I break a load() operation & restart it, the
    file will resume at a point where it left off (based on what I see
    on the listener I have on air.ProgressEvent.PROGRESS).
    Does anyone know where AIR is downloading this intermediate
    data to? On windows, I've looked in C:\Documents and Settings\[user
    name]\Local Settings\Temp since that is where
    air.File.createTempFile() writes to, but it isn't there.
    thanks

    I understand that. As I said - 'stupidly'.

  • To where are Software Updater file downloaded?

    I have a software package to update on two computers. The computers are the same and I need to update software on both computers. However, where I live we pay for each megabyte downloaded so I would like to update the first computer then copy the update file to the other. Where does the Software updater store the downloaded files so I can get the file after the first computer is updated?

    Whew, took me an hour of searching Apple Downloads to +not find it+ via dial-up!
    Then via Google through 4 other sites with clues & back to Apple for 4 more 5 minute steps at pages with links loading leads me to this...
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/index.html
    The Resources link on that page leads e to...
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/
    Where it doesn't mention "Express", but who knows since I don't have a Serial# to sign in with!
    Back to *Software Update*, if you choose to "Download only" or possibly "Install & keep Package", the file should be at Library>Packages, but I'm not certain that some of Apple's SWUPDs allow even keeping the PKG.
    PS. Even this AD BBS is the absolute slowest loading BBS on the whole internet!

  • Where does iTunes 7 keep the iPod software?

    Hi All,
    I work in technical support and am a bit let down by the current embedded iPod updater in iTunes 7. This works ok except for one thing, after downloading the latest iPod updater from within iTunes 7, i want to transfer the updater to various machines. Searching the libraries came up with nada. Only once i opened up the iTunes 7 package did i find "iPodUpdater.framework" in contents. It also appears that a different updater is downloaded for each model of iPod as opposed to the old stand-alone all-in-one iPod updater. So, Where does iTunes 7 keep the iPod software? We are very bandwidth challenged in my country so it is very handy to be able to keep the latest updates on an external drive, usb disk, etc.
    While the embedded updater is nice and clever i think a bit more needs to be done, maybe put it into the Application Support Folder or something?
    Thank you in advance

    Thanx for your reply SeaBeast.
    Erm, ok maybe I'm not being clear.
    Pre iTunes7: iPod's were updated using the iPod updater application located in /Applications/Utilities. This could be downloaded as a standalone app and showed up in software updater when updating of the app was required. Easy.
    iTunes7:iPod updater is now part of iTunes. Updates are downloaded from within iTunes ( iPod model specific it seems ) and sometimes it has to be forced to update, see
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060912144151766
    Where does it keep these downloaded updates?
    Does it modify the existing "iPod Updater 2006-06-28.app"?
    To my knowledge it is now seperate from this. If it was still seperate i could download it from Apple as a stand-alone but as far as i can see this is no longer the case. Please help. Maybe I'm just being a ******* and missing something simple here.
    Thanx again.

  • While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error message that Iphone cound not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
    First did a full back up of  iphone using iTunes
    Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
    Disconnected USB cable from iphone
    Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
    Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
    I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
    Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
    Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
    iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
    iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
    Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
    A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
    A full restore from back-up then occured
    I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
    When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
    iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.

  • Where do I put the .jar file for the database connection?

    I am trying to connect to an Oracle 11g database. I see under the coldfusion settings summary that the java version is 1.7.0_55. So I downloaded the ojdbc7.jar file from Abode.com. Now the question is where do I put it so that coldfusion can access it?
    Of course I need to set up the database connection (which I still don't have the connection string for), but I still need to know where to put the ojdbc.jar file.
    Thanks.

           are  defined  the temperature thresholds which cause the switching to a
           higher or lower  state.  Furthermore  each  state  can  have  different
           thresholds  for operation on ac power or battery.  For example the fol‐
           lowing configuration:
    I've put the following file in /etc/default/i8kmon:
    # Run as daemon, override with --daemon option
    set config(daemon) 0
    # Automatic fan control, override with --auto option
    set config(auto) 1
    # Report status on stdout, override with --verbose option
    set config(verbose) 1
    # Status check timeout (seconds), override with --timeout option
    set config(timeout) 1
    # Temperature thresholds: {fan_speeds low_ac high_ac low_batt high_batt}
    set config(0) {{-1 0} -1 50 -1 50
    set config(1) {{-1 1} 50 70 50 70}
    set config(3) {{-1 2} 70 128 70 128}
    But it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 3521 with no dedicated GPU, so it only has one fan. I was somehow able to get i8kmon to work in Ubuntu by putting this config in /etc/i8kmon, but can't get it to work in Arch. Putting it in /etc/i8kmon and /etc/default/i8kmon doesn't do anything.
