If you want to clear browser caches and cookies, you can do that through your browser of choice. Other tem file created by applications are just flushed when you quit the application.

What temp files? Most are deleted automatically when an application quits or when you log in or restart.

Where put the files in Mac .app projector bundle?

I just read a technote in the knowledgebase on considerations for creating a Mac projector bundle. For OSX, the note seemed to suggest that you should place them in the Contents folder. The example they give has the executable in the MacOS and a file called example,dir in the Contents folder. I am trying to test a bundle I created in Windows Dir 11.5 on a PowerBook running Mac OSX 10.5. My executable called launcher was automatically bundled into the .app/Contents/MacOS folder Then I copied my dcrs into the Contents folder, the first of which menu.dcr is the first one the launcher goes to, but can't find it. I tried placing the content in the same folder as the executable first, but that didn't work so I read the technote. Now placing them in the Contents folder does not work either. That technote seems a bit old so I am wondering where the app files go now and if the launcher can use a gotoNetMovie "menu.dcr" to find the first file of the app? Everything works in Windows, but every single app I have tried to convert to Mac has required major adjustments so I expect the same here?

Thanks Rob,
I actually found that thread last night while looking for a solution from someone - I saw it on the right side of my question listed as - More like this, but have been waiting for one of my studnets to tell me if the test file I placed on the web worked or not. My PowerMac G4 can't handle these 11.5 .apps without crashing on sound and fileio etc etc. You also have to be careful not to forget to add the xtras to this new starter movie or script errors will occur.
It is really amazing that the placement of files in a bundle was changed in D11 and Adobe did not include this in their documentation or in the help file. In MX 2004, linked files would logically go in the same folder as the executable /Content/MacOS. Now the bundle has no idea where the linked files are and you have to create this stub movie to tell Director where to search. Cross platform application development is still a very important part of Director development and so this change should be documented and there should be a chapter in the Using Director explaining that creating a Mac .app from your Windows project will likely not work without a lot of tweaking of paths, fonts, sounds, net commands, fileio, etc. etc. You should also be able to type ".app" or "bundle" into the help search system and get something other than topic not found.
I will give you credit for your reply though - thank you!

Random crashes with Adobe LiveCycle form - where is temp file?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat v8 to enter data in a form I created on LiveCycle (the version that comes with Acrobat v8). I'm running Windows XP with all of the current patches (as far as I know - our tech support is pretty good at updates).
The file randomly, and repeatedly crashes on me. It also does this on my Vista Laptop, but since Vista randomly crashes for all sorts of reasons, who knows. The file does not randomly crash for a co-worker, so I suspect some sort of problem with my computer that I'm having tech support look into.
My question is where are the temp files? I have Acrobat set up to save to a temp file every minute, but this isn't helping me recover any lost data. I could type for 15 minutes in one field, and not recover any piece of it. Any advice?

I Lost Power to my PC while in Acrobat Reader and lost data, where is temp file located?

I lost power to my pc while typing a new acrobat reader file but never saved it, where is the default temp file located, if this exists? Thanks.

The answer to your question depends upon your version of Reader and your OS. Especially since the last version of Acrobat Reader was version 5 which is four majors versions ago. The last four versions have been called Adobe Reader, not Acrobat Reader. This the forum for the Acrobat commericial product, not the free reader product.
PDF files cannot be edited in Reader and fields filled in with Reader cannot be saved (unless especially enabled) canot be re-opened from the temp files. To make a long story short. You will need to re-type the information.
Sorry to be the bearer of the sad news.

Where are temp files for Photoshop CS4? Is there any way to recover from themM?

Hi. My Mac crashed with all my work. I forgot to do Cmd S and now I lost 2 days worth of work in Photoshop CS4. Any chance the work is still in temp files? If yes, is there any way to recover files from them? Best, Caldvin

If you had any smart objects involved, you might be able to get to them. But no, not your main file.
How did you manage to work for two days without a save!?!
We all have to suffer these every now and again, teaches you to hit “save” every thirty seconds. You’ll be obsessive about it for eight months, then forget, loose hours of work and repeat. Perfectly natural.
On the plus side doing something the second time is usually quicker…

The 2 year old fix for changing temp files is no longer valid, I need to change the temp file location in the latest firefox.

In 3.6.3 I'm unable to find the parent cache to change where the temp files are located. I have an SSD drive, and I need to get the temp file off, and onto my platter drive. I have read the previous fix of about:config and changing the parent cache location, but it no longer seems to be there. I'm unable to locate anything relating to my SSD drive location in about:config.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

Unfortunately, it appears that what I wrote about not being able to find the location IN about:config of the cache to change it from my C: drive to a different location, was mildly misunderstood that I didn't know how to get into about:config.
The location of browser.cache.disk.parent_directory does not currently exist in 3.6.3. I'm assuming it's under a different location. Also using the simple string of "cache" lists several options, but none of them appear to be where firefox is currently dumping the temp files onto my C:
I merely need to know how to switch the temp file location from 1 drive, to another. Not downloads, the temp file.

Oracle Best Practices / Guidelines regarding Cleaning TEMP files

Hi folks,
Can any one help me with a set of steps / guidelines or best practices to clean TEMP files from OBIEE servers (our PROD environment)?
Does perhaps OBIEE take care of this for you automatically, how is that process happening?
Thanks a lot for your time and attention and hope to hear from you soon.

TEMPS files are deleted from the server once a user logs out. But there might be chance where the TEMP files does not get deleted automaticlly, when the user logs out of the system even before the TEMP file has been generated completely. In this case the temp files get stored in the server, and a bounce of services cleans up the files.
The best practice would be to create a script to empty out the temp directory during the start up of the services.

Groff / grops temp file location

I was bit by the sudo grace period bug. Because sudo has a brief grace period,
during which anyone can execute it without being prompted for a password, anyone
who makes it past the firewall can execute anything he wants if he knows when sudo
was last executed. One clever chap changed my root password on me.
I share this verbose background because I want others to be aware of this security hole.
Add these three lines to /etc/sudoers, which removes grace period and prints su activity
in a secure file (so no one knows when su or sudo is executed).
Defaults:ALL timestamp_timeout=0
Defaults:ALL !syslog
Defaults:ALL logfile=/var/log/secure.log
Now on to the question. Because I followed this inconvenience with a reset of all
permissions, I suddenly found that grops (the troff2ps postprocessor underlying
groff) no longer had permission to create temp files, rendering it defunct. I can
only run it successfully as root(!).
Because I cannot find the src for grops, I do not know where the temp files are
created. The man page's specification of /tmp/gropsXXXXX is incorrect. I need
to find that directory and liberalize the permissions.
Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in my other security issues. I was able to resecure root and the machine right away...
Great! Sorry I wasted your time with my post then. I must confess that I know pretty much nothing about groff/grops. But I didn't realize that you had simplified your post and weren't having further root problems.
That said, I hope the following isn't equally useless:
1. According to the groff man page:
<pre style="line-height: 50%; background: #eee">
GROFF_TMPDIR
The directory in which temporary files will be created. If this
is not set but the environment variable TMPDIR instead, tempo-
rary files will be created in the directory $TMPDIR. On MS-DOS
and Windows 32 platforms, the environment variables TMP and TEMP
(in that order) are searched also, after GROFF_TMPDIR and
TMPDIR. Otherwise, temporary files will be created in /tmp.
The refer(1), groffer(1), grohtml(1), and grops(1) commands use
temporary files.
</pre>
To my surprise, $TMPDIR is set to something seemingly obscure: /var/folders/XX/XXYYYYYYYYYYYYY/-Tmp-/ where XX is a random pair of characters and YYYYYYYYYYYYY is another random sequence of characters. This folder is owned by the currently logged-in user, and has permissions 0700! YMMV, but this, and the parent directories, may be worth investigating.
2. You may already know this, but just in case (or for anyone else who reads this), 0777 is the wrong permissions for tmp-like directories. The correct permissions is 01777, or drwxrwxrwt. The difference (the '1' in the 512-place) is the "sticky bit" and partially overrides the write-permissions to prevent users from deleting files that they don't own. This is a useful security measure: otherwise, say, an attacker could potentially attempt to exploit a race condition, and replace the temporary file which grops creates with a different file, before grops gets around to reading the temporary file which it created. (On the other hand, with the sticky bit set, a different security issue is created, namely, if the 'XXXXXX' part of the gropsXXXXXX filename is predictable--e.g. the PID of the grops process--then an attacker could try to create the gropsXXXXXX before grops gets a chance to, thereby effecting a DOS attack.) I would be surprised if the incorrect permissions would be an issue for you--why would groff/grops check the sticky bit on the temporary directory?--but it is still worth fixing, if necessary.

How to find/delete HP scanner temp files?

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro and I scanned about 15 pages into a single PDF. I was able to "save as" onto my desktop. But I noticed that my harddrive space keeps going down. I cannot find where the temp files from the scanner are being stored so I can delete them. Any help?

Hi,
You can from the guest vm settings get all the data when the guest vm generated location, you can see the virtual disk location the Shapshot File Location and so on.
Hope this helps.

Lost document on my new MAC because I accidentally saved on another account that I had no permission to save to..now I don't know where the doc is but I just know its somewhere on the computer..maybe the temp files or something?!sos! please help me!!

I saved a document, while logged in as a Guest, to another user account [it was set up for some reason to save like that (I guess the person who used computer last did that) and I didn't check before "saving"] on accident. Of course I didn't have permission to save on the other user's account but I was in a rush and so I figured everything was fine but later I found that there was a message warning me saying it did not save because it couldn't save because I had no permission to save on that account and gave me the option to duplicate or cancel.. I wasn't paying attention so I can't remember which button I hit but clearly it wasn't "duplicate"
I took hours perfecting this document and now I can't find it.. anywhere!
Where do these types of things go when this happens.. I know it's somewhere on the computer but where?? SOS I need the doc and I'm hoping I can find it
I guess it's the same as someone who accidnetly hits "don't save"... question still stands.. please anyone help me!!!
I'm trying to use Disk Drill but I only found things from November and it seems like it only shows files that have been physically/manually deleted..and my TIME MACHINE WAS NOT SET UP..because we recently got this MAC computer and had no clue what it was
maybe its in some temp files somewhere..where do not saved documents go.. i know that it is probably writable but I know that is probably still exists
ANYONE WITH INFO PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

Scratch Disc Full: Where are the temp files kept?

Hi,
I just tried to open a few of very large image files (9GB in total) and when I did I got the message "scratch discs full". Now I understand why that happened, but it seems to have eaten a whole load of disc space that wont come back. I've since closed photoshop, restarted my Mac, etc. but about 10 GB is still used up where it wasn't before. I can't locate any temp files anywhere (prefs only tells me the scratch disc is my Mac HD, not which folders it's in). Can anyone help me with this? Where are Ps temp files usually located on a Mac? I need those 10GB back!
Mac OSX running Photoshop CS3
Thank you!

Hi again Chris (or anyone else who cares to contribute),
My Mac's HD space continued to disappear and I have now, finally, located the cause (I think). I checked the system log (Stystem Profiler/Software/Logs/system.log) which was itself 4.5 GB in size (too large I think?). However, when I went to the file location (/var/log/system.log) I also noticed that the "asl" folder (in the same folder as the system log) was 20 GB in size!! Having read a few forum posts about similar issues, I took the risk of deleting both the system.log and the majority of files in the asl folder. This seems to have worked a treat (I now have 25GB returned to me).
As I said in my original post, this all started happening when I opened a few very big Photoshop docs (ones with layers). Do you have any idea what caused / is causing this to happen? I haven't opened Photoshop since deleting the asl files, but new ones still seem to be appearing in the asl folder. They are tiny (100KB at most) but I'm a little concerned I haven't fixed the problem. Any suggestions?
I can't see why new asl files would be appearing when I haven't even opened Photoshop.
I'm running on OS 10.5.8
Many thanks,
Matt
P.S. By the way, the size of the system.log seemed to be caused by a repeated message regarding RealPlayer, which I assume is unconnected, but I have included it below just in case (I've removed RealPlayer from my Mac to see if that helps, but the asl files still seem to be appearing):

Where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI

where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI
every time i click on a file to downloac
i get a reader message Before viewing PDF ... you must launch adobe reader and then accept the End User License Agreement. Ive searched every part of the menu for this and cant fine it

Ok, so the Reader app works. Fine, but why did you say ",the reader won't open any more", that led us a confusing direction.
Ok, the problem is most likely caused because you downloaded Acrobat Pro, which takes over from Reader, then got rid of it. You now have part of Acrobat in Safari, not part of Adobe Reader.
There are two things to try to fix this. The first and easiest is to download and install Adobe Reader again. That should puts its stuff back in Safari with a bit of luck.
Important note for others following this thread. Downloading Adobe Reader is not going to help you if you have not understood and followed the instructions to "launch" Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat). Make sure you understand what "launch" means before downloading anything again.

Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac?

Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac? I would like to restore several windows and tabs I had open earlier, but the restore previous session menu item does not appear to be available. I had to install and use an older version of Firefox (3.6) to access a website (Fedtraveler.com) that is not compatible with Firefox 6 and is seems to have cleared out the previous session information. I thought I would use Mac OSX Time machine feature to restore the Firefox file where this the previous session info is kept but I don't know what it is called nor how to find it.

That is the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder.
