Where does system preferences reside?

Hi there,
I am trying to locate the actual coding of system preferences. Does anybody know where it is? I have looked under system and library but not able to find it.
thanks for your help

I assume you mean the location of the preference pane files. I'm not sure what you mean by "coding." If you're looking for system preferences and where they're stored, the answer depends on what preference you're looking for. Most can be found in your user library: /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences
The panes themselves are located in:
Macintosh HD/System/Library/PreferencePanes
You may also have user-specific preference panes installed. Those reside in: /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/PreferencePanes

Where are system preferences documented?

Where are system preferences documented? I have posted a question on this forum from time to time, or read articles in MacWorld, and often the solution to this or that is to set a particular preference, for example NSToolTipsFontSize. Is there a central place where I can find all of these preferences documented, perhaps by category?
I tried looking in XCode Help with no luck, and a Google search didn't turn up anything either.

Not really. Most default settings are documented at http://secrets.blacktree.com/ Having the Secrets prefPane installed helps with learning about them. Alternatively, peruse the hits from a google search for *defaults site:developer.apple.com*.

Where does system output go to in Unix?

Where does system output go to in a Unix operating system for java?
System.out.println

If you've started your process from a shell, then standard out is that shell - since you're asking this question I suppose it's safe to assume you didn't start this process from a shell, in which case stdout might be /dev/null or might be some log file - if you have access to the source then look and see if output has been redirected (per a previous post) if you don't have access to the source ask the folk who wrote the code where the logs are.
Good Luck

Where Does System.err go?

If I run my class as an applet I can get error messages using the Java Console. Where do these messages go when I launch it using WebStart?

Please don't cross post.
          500 internal server error are written to your weblogic.log
          (weblogic/myserver/weblogic.log)
          weblogic.debug.httpd.servlet=true
          will make 500 internal server errors include the stack trace.

Where are System preferences- Keyboard- Text settings saved?

I am trying to find the Settings of my System preferences->Keyboard->Text on my drive. I deleted my whole user library, and after reloading i still find my settings in the pane( so my conclusion is they are not in the ~/Library location. Does anyone have any idea where these settings are saved on the hard drive?

Hello Eric,
yes, restart is done after removing the user library. Still, the shortcuts are in the system preferences pane.
To explain why I'm after these files: I'm not trying to clear the settings, i'm actually trying to find the file, so i might safe/load them on different users.
My biggest bet did not work: ~/Library.
Is there any other location where I will find saves user settings?

in linux
PATH=/u01/db/app/oracledb/bin
also check ORACLE_HOME/bin directory you can find.

I have HugesNet Gen4 and have downloaded most current version. I am unable to open and cannot find where in system preferences and/or Safari I give permission. Can a techie tell me where?

Because I downloaded from internet, I am unable to open. I cannot find where I give permission and/or if I need to download some plug in or something. Please help and thanks.

Hello Charlene,
It sounds like you are getting a message that the application you downloaded can't be opened because it's from an unidentified developer.
Gatekeeper is a feature of Mac OS X that by default blocks software from unknown developers, but you can change the functionality to download and install software from developers you trust:
Gatekeeper gives you more control over what you install. You can choose the safest option and only allow apps that come from the Mac App Store to open. There is also the option of only allowing apps that come from the Mac App Store and identified developers. Or you can choose to allow any apps to open, just like previous versions of OS X.
Gatekeeper options are found in Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tab under the header "Allow applications downloaded from:"
If you trust the source you are downloading the application from, you can switch the option to "Anywhere" to download the file. Once you finish downloading the file, you can always switch back to one of the other options.

Where have System Preferences gone???

After re-installing the operating system, because it was no longer possible to log on to my iMac, suddenly there are no more system preferences. I select "System preferences" in the Apple menu and nothing happens.
Any ideas what to do or try to get access to system preferences back?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Hi Michael!
Is System Preferences still in your Applications folder?
Does it appear in the Dock?
Computer > HD > Applications: HERE?
In Another Of Your Posts, your computer specs state that you are running iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.5).
This post states iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x).
What type of install did you do, to go from 10.3 to 10.2?
Is there a Previous System Folder on your HD?
When you discovered your Memory Problem, which OS X were you using?
Have you tested the new RAM?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I'm trying to lay some groundwork, to assist readers who may be able to help you.
When posting a question, it is best to divulge as much background info as possible.
All of your problems, seem to me, to be somehow related.
Good Luck!

Where does System.out.println go?

Hi Everyone: I know I've seen this topic before, but I'm still having some trouble. I would like to debug my EJBs, and so I've added some System.out.println statements to them. Where does that go? I've looked at the defaultTrace.trc files in the
C:\usr\sap\P48\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\log
folder, and haven't found any of the text that I think I am writing. I appreciate any guidance! Ian.

Hi lan,
I was facing the same question earlier, and now I think I have figured out one possible answer. Actually, where the System.out.println goes is up to the Server Admin to config. There is a default SYSTEM.OUT log controller ( under location controller side) pre-defined to cater for all System.out.println(). All the System.out.println() output is considered as INFO type log message. However, this default SYSTEM.OUT controller is not assigned with any real log destination, thus, we cannot find the output anywhere.
If you goes to the log configurator (using Visual Admin), you can locate this SYSTEM.OUT controller , and add in a default (Anonymous) destionation for it . (you need to toggle on the advance edit mode from the top menu , then you can add modify the destination settings of a Controller).
For Anonymous destionation, the println() output will sure go to the defaultTrace.trc (better view it using Log Viewer, instead of viewing it from the log file ).
Or , you can define a separate file (e.g. c:\temp\myStd.log ) as the log destination ..
Last but not the least, you need to set the ForceSingleTraceFile setting from 'YES' to 'NO' , then you can see your "myStd.log".
To change the ForceSingleTraceFile , go to Visual Admin, J2EE server --> Kernel --> LogManager.
Hope you find the above useful.

Why does System Preferences keep trying to launch?

Hi all,
Every now and then System Preferences starts to bounce in the doc (even when I have done nothing to launch it). It then fails to load and stops bouncing.
After this if I try to launch it myself from the doc it does nothing. If I launch it from the apple menu it does laod and a second System Preferences app appears in the doc.
It's all very strange - anyone know why it might be doing this?
Cheers
James

No, I don't know why it's doing it, but my first instinct would be to remove the bouncy icon from the dock, open sys prefs from the Apple menu and right click on the new dock icon, choose options>keep in dock.
And see if that cures it or not.

Where does System.err.println("huh?"); goto?

Hi. Where does the System.err.println("asdfds"); goto for .class files?
When I try this for .jsp files, I get an output line in the console,
expected. :> But when I put it in a class I'm using in that jsp file, I
don't get anything anywhere, or at least no where I found. Can anyone give
me an idea of what I'm doing wrong here? I know I can use the Logger, but
this System.err is just for immediate debugging and I want to pull it out as
soon as I'm done.
Thanks for any input.

I found out what I was doing wrong! :< I was copying the .java file instead
of the .class file. :< Silly. :< Sorry about that.
