Where does the song metadata reside (cover art work and other information)?

I edit the metadata for each album/song - add cover art, correct any album name or artists erros, make some notes to myself to help search/browse. Where does this data reside - with the song file or the library file or somewhere else? BTW I don't download the cover artwork from iTunes. I just find it online and copy and paste it into the metadata window. I have too many obscure albums to rely on iTunes.
The reason I ask is because I double backup my music and iTunes files. Normally, when I rip new albums I just add the new files and updated library files to me backup hard drives, by sorting by the modified date. But I'm now going back and editing all of my oder albums/songs metadata as I just described. In order to make sure this information gets backed up I'm simply backing up the entire iTunes Music folder, which takes all night cause it's around 500GBs. But I'd prefer to only add the modified files to the backup, which usually only takes a few moments.
When I sort by modified date the albums/songs I edited metadata for do not show up as modified that day. So, is it pointless to always backup the entire folder when all I have to do is back up what was modified? And if so, what are those files?
Also, is there a good app that will compare two hard drives and keep them in synch? So that I can basically do what I want to do automagically? Set one as the master and one as the backup, and ahve the app always synch the backup to the master. That would be nice!

If you're not downloading artwork from iTunes, all of the tags and artwork are stored with the individual song files. Some iTunes-specific data, like play count and rating, are stored in the iTunes Library database file.

Where does the iPhoto library reside?

Where does the iPhoto library reside on your hd? when I go to the search bar above, it shows 2 libraries! I am about out of hd space so I am hoping that it has been duplicated somehow. It's about 36GB. =)
Thanks for your help!
MK

By default it's in your Pictures Folder.
If space is an issue you can move the Library to an external disk:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

HT4914 When iTunes Match downloads to devices, does the aac file contain cover art and lyrics?

When iTunes Match downloads the AAC files to devices, does the new AAC file contain Cover Art and Lyrics?

SORRY ALL... After searching, I couldn't find anything, and once I submitted this, up comes suggested previous discussions where it's clear iTunes Match is likely regressing my artwork. I'll proceed with deleting it all first, making sure it gets out of the cloud, then adding it back as if it were new. (Wow, Apple, what a waste of time!)

Where does the View Controller reside ?

Hi Gurus,
Some basic doubts : I can't see the View and Window Controllers in SE80 . Where does it reside ? or it can only be reffered through code.
Thanks in advance

The controllers can be accessed only by code, calling the wd_get_api on the wd_this, wd_comp_controller attributes.
Ofcourse, you can check the interface methods etc of if_wd_view_controller in se24.

Where does the banner info reside in the database

Hi Binosn,
Thanks for your interest and reply.
Wanted to know some more details regarding the document publisher.
How does the backend push the report to the Gateway, is there also a queue maintained in the backend system which processes the report requests asynchronously or the Gateway report publisher pulls them synchronously or is there any component necessary to be installed in the backend system for processing reports?
Is the document publisher feature a gateway feature or a Duet Enterprise specific feature?
Please suggest some material for further details if available.

After purchasing a song, where does the song go?!

After purchasing songs on my iphone through itunes they used to go to my purchased songs in the ipod app. I updated my iphone and now after I purchase a song, I cannot find it and it is definitely not in my "purchased" songs. Anyone have any suggestions as to where they could be??

Go to iTunes on your computer and click on "Check For Available Downloads..." under the Store drop down menu on the menu bar. If the song(s) won't download, check your purchase history on your iTunes Store Account to see if it was indeed purchased.
As for the iPhone, try a reset (holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons until the iPhone restarts showing the apple logo screen). Ignore the red power slider.

Where does the INI file reside?

I've seen lots of forum posts on using the Properties class to read an INI file, but nothing on locating the INI file in the file system. Most of the examples use a hard-coded simplistic path (c:\temp\myapp.ini) or just the file name with no path.
From my meager knowledge of Java, I think the INI file should be deployed in the package directory with rest of the class files for the package. At any rate, the Java class reading the INI file cannot have a hard-coded directory path since the path may vary from install to install.
What Java statements can be used to identify the path for the run-time package? Where is the best place to place the INI file?
Thanks,
Paul

You put it somewhere in your classpath, as you describe. Then this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/myapp.ini")gets you an InputStream from which you can read its contents.

Where does the inactive object reside?

Hi
I am new to abap. I want to know when we create a object in the data dictionary, where is it stored?
I do know that when we activate the object a same replica is created in the database having the syntax valid in the database.
I just want to know if i have created one object which is not activated where it will be stored?
Thanks,
Sarbjeet Singh

Hi Sarabjeet,
When a program/objects is created without saving till that time it is only in application sever and thereafter when are you pressing
'SAVE' , then only it is stored to the backend database as inactivate version.
While code changing (modifications) both inactive and active versions are stored in the database.
When it is inactive(if you are executing it alone ), only you can use it not other system users(Note: you can't use one inactive versions object in another active objects.)
Once it is activated, all other users of same client can use your Program/objects.

on a related note, has anyone had any success generating asl queries via shell? i've looked into it but not that deeply. the asl.conf man page seems to indicate it's possible, but i'm not sure how.
Try man syslog. I'm not sure where to look for all the keywords, but I got this to work first time:
macbook:~ michaelc$ syslog -k Sender ntpd
Sun Dec 2 17:07:20 macbook ntpd[24] <Notice>: time reset +1.377290 s
Sun Dec 2 22:12:49 macbook ntpd[24] <Notice>: time reset +0.644079 s
Mon Dec 3 15:40:53 macbook ntpd[24] <Notice>: time reset -0.302815 s
Note that syslog with no arguments gives you everything

In Trex where does the documents reside ?

We have Enterprise portal and use TREX for collaboration rooms and document indexing. EP is a java only Netweaver stack on AIX and TREX is on a window box. What I wanted to know is where do the actual documents, which TREX indexes reside?
Does Trex retain a copy of the indexed document? For a particular index where is the mapping of the actual document? Where can I look at all this data?
Pls advise.
thank you
regards
Laxmi

Hello Kai,
documents original location is transparent on KM, whether it is on a external repository or not doesn't matter,
for KM and TREX it is part of repository manager (configured at System Administration > System Configuration >
Knowledge Management > Content Managenement > Repository Managers).
Once a repository manager is activeted, there are several services running on top of it, eg.: subscription, rating,
etc. and other global services which affects every repository. Crawler service and Index Management are the
global services which will do indexing work
In fact TREX doesn't look for documents, the crawler is the component that retrieves the documents and
deliver for TREX. Have in mind that the crawler is part of KM, not TREX. It is active for every repository,
you can check on the monitor at System Administration > Monitoring
for more information: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fb/38ef207d0a47ee9dc08deeed855392/frameset.htm
once documents are retrieved by the crawler and is at TREX hands, it will index normally, it uses
a file system based architecture, if you browse through TREX server you can find the indexes you have
created as folders and documents information inside. Be careful when checking at file system level, data
there is designed for TREX work only, it doesn't serve as backup and can't be considered for any
other functioning.
kind regards,
Rafael

Where does the Mail cache file reside?

My email inbox suddenly doesn't show anything newer than April 2011. The last time this happened, Apple Care walked me through deleting an AOL or Mail cache file, but I can't find it now. Where does the archived mail cache hide?

If you have iTunes set to consolidate your Library, then yes, you have 3 copies of the movie, USB, ITunes library folder, and iPad.
If not, then iTunes merely adds a pointer to the current location of the file, and then copies it over to the iPad.
If the USB is removed, the movie is still technically part of the library, but will not be accessible, it will show up grayed out and not be playable.

Where exactly the KM folders resides on the file system .??

Please also answer the given questions???
Does the userhome folder in the KM also exists on the file system on the portal server. If yes, whats the navigation for the same.
Where does the favorites specific to a user in the userhome resides on the file system?
Where exactly the KM folder resides on the file system?

The only part of the repository you will find in the filesystem (as a default) would be the /etc repository. Its specific location depends on your implementation - it could be a local directory or on a share somewhere.
The only other parts of the KM subsystem you would find in the filesystem would be any custom repositories you had defined as FSDB or similar. Otherwise as reported everything else is stored in the DB.
