Where is the cron for root and how to edit at start-up?

I was using Cronnix (as I am not very familiar with cron, unix etc). to create a root system task to reboot my server every night.
As I hit safe I noted I made a mistake and have it run every minute. so I do to get in any more.
So there are two solutions I can see. One is to remove the file that holds the information. in order to this I need to know where it is and I do not.
or to get in over command S at startup and change it there.
Or?
FYI I can get to the computer in T mode via an other one.
as you might imagine any help is more than welcome.

I'd go for the single-user mode startup and edit the crontab from there.
Hold Cmd-S during power up. Once the system finishes booting follow the instructions on screen to mount the root filesystem, then log in as root and run:
crontab -e
use the arrow keys to move to the offending cron entry then type:
dd
<esc>
qw!
The 'dd' deletes the current line. <esc> (the Escape key) switches to command mode and 'qw!' tells vi to quit and save the file.
From there you should be able to exit to resume normal startup.

Where is the printer queue stored - and how to delete all queue jobs?

I ran into a problem after I installed the Roll paper feeder on my Epson R1800. All of a sudden files will not print anymore.
One thing that may cause a problem is that there are two previous files (pdf I think) that someone else tried to print yesterday looking for a different printer on regular Letter size paper that are still in the queue because they did not print successfully. Everytime I tell Photoshop to print my photo on the Roll paper, those two old jobs pop back up on the printer queue gui and the system stops saying "wrong paper type for this job". Then I delete those two old jobs so there is only the Roll paper one left but it just sits there and wont print. When I launch the utility to check is all is kosher, sometimes it will give me the ink cartridge levels without a problem but sometimes it claims a communication error. I have re-checked the connection and everything and all is OK. When I launch the printer utility and tell it to print a Nozzle Check test, it prints it without a problem so there really is no prob with the communication.
When I restart the computer and the printer and try again, the two old jobs that I deleted in the previous step always reappear. So I wonder if, those two pdf jobs are kinda screwing with the system and should be deleted. But as i said, everytime I delete them, they look like they disappear from the list but my photo job just sits there on the queue without printing. The jobs are not stopped and there is no Hold on this one. If I quit and re-launch the print job, the old ones re-appear in the queue. So they must be stored someplace and are not deleting correctly. Does anyone know where this cue file is stored and what it is called? I have looked in Application Support and in Preferences but I can't see anything that looks like it.
I have downloaded the drivers from Epson for this printer again but that doesn't do anything either. I am using 10.4.11 on an 24 inch iMac intel 2.4Ghz. I only use the stock Apple utilities, no funky third party addon except for the Epson drivers. The printer utilities are:
Epson Printer Utility v3.01
Stylus R1800 utility v4.7(161.10)
Thank you for any help.

Hooray, we found the problem! BOO, we already found the problem elsewhere!
Sooo, it seems we have some kind of Permission problem, have you Repaired Permissions ad rebooted?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Or we could maybe go back to that window, click on Printers, remove it? (Thinking perhaps the jobs will go away with the printer!?)
Or would you like to delve into the hidden folders/files to try to handle this?

Where is the forum for storing and retrieval of Microsoft.public NNTP Usenet posts in the cloud?

I'm looking for all the microsoft.public c, c++ etc.. NNTP usenet posts from years 1998-present that I used to be able to access through Google groups.

These days, I would think that someone has all those posts in a cloud db somewhere.
From what I'm reading about Windows Live Mail http://email.about.com/u/r/od/windowsemailclients/gr/live_mail_deskt.htm they say that the support for it is virtually non-existant, and that the data is lost after a while. So please don't suggest this

Where is the responsibility for faults and failure...

My phone line was found to have intermittent noise and crackling also the speed on my broadband became very variable and It was noticed that my line profile had changed downwards. On calling bt on the landline crackles and noise were heard on the line.
The fault was reported as a voice fault on 23rd October and an appointment made for an engineer to call on 30th October.
On 30th October no engineer arrived, on calling BT (India) I spoke with at least three individuals before being told that the case had been closed. At no point was I advised that the case was closed or indeed even investigated. I had taken time off work to be at home for the visit.
I was told that the reason for the case being closed would be investigated and that someone would call me back. I asked for a response in writing or email but was advised that this was not possible.
A new appointment was made for Tuesday 6th November this time in the afternoon 12-18:00, at approximately 17:05 a call was received from Openreach to advise that no engineer would be coming that day as he had run out of time. I asked if he would be tomorrow, to be told that that was not possible and that I could make another appointment for Friday 9th at the earliest. I was also advised that if I wanted to escalate this or find out more I would have to do so through BT.
I called BT, India again which resulted in me speaking with four individuals purporting to be a mix of advisors, supervisors and managers. The final one promised to call me back today 7th November between 12 and 1300, no call was received.
So far I have taken two days off work for BT to call, been threatened that if the problem is in my own house I will have to pay a charge and still no resolution.
The advisors, managers, supervisors have all been very “sorry”, have all “apologised” but have singularly been unable to find out quickly and accurately what is going on. They have also not called back when they have indicated they will. They (BT) are not taking any responsibility for faults or the failure to fix them.
BT blame Openreach, the customer, the isp
Openreach blame BT and the stock phase they told me Im only the messenger was actually used!
Who is working for the customer, who is able to get the faults fixed and why should they change if the only penalty is £10.00 per failed visit.

Keith, thank you for that and I will.
The call centre is one of the issues, I have always found them to be polite but as much good as a chocolate fireguard. Not because of nationality or education or indeed anything like that, its the restrictions and systems they seem to be working with.
The stock responses, the same questions time and time again, the multiple levels of "managers" who can do nothing?
The people in India are only as good as the systems they have in place. Those systems and trainers are provided by I presume BT.
Does it really take two rounds of calls to
(1) Advisor
(2) Supervisor
(3) Team leader
(4) Manager
Then a forum posting, then an email to customer care..what next a carving on a wooden stick floated down the Thames?
Even if BT care come with some answers, should I be gratefull for them? Or still angry that its taken so long and so hard to get them.
Why are BT not ashamed of their customer "service", a sales call is answered very quickly, if I dont pay my bill on time its also acted on very quickly.
BT apparently are spending billions on new fibre optic (I doubt it will go rural)

For a fraction of this Im sure they could improve their customer service and engineering!

The End Of The Road For FCE And Other DV Editing Programs?

I am just curious about how long the average amateur will be able to continue using FCE etc. The reason for my pessimism?
Mini- DV cameras do seem to be on their way out.
A popular UK "catalogue" chain-store called Argos is currently selling around 30 camcorders. Only 5 of them are mini-DV !
The same trend is also obvious in the "serious" camera shops. DVD and HDD sales are rocketing amongst the general public who have little or no desire to edit.
The day will come - probably extremely soon - when no amateur DV cameras are made, and any professional ones will cost the earth, along with their tapes.
OK, we will still be able to use our existing equipment until it goes to that happy-camcorder-hunting-ground in the sky, but tapes will probably be sold at a premium.
If this scenario were ten or twenty years away, I wouldn't mind, but I fear it will be the case by the end of this decade.
Our only hope is that DVD, HDD and Flash Memory camcorders have been improved so that their video can be edited as easily and to as high a standard as DV can today.
At present I can't see any sign of this happening.
Have a nice day!
Ian.

One of the major issues with HDD and card based formats is workflow. A good way has to be found to archive the material you shoot. You're shooting a once a lifetime event if you're an amateur, or you're shooting something professionally that has perhaps been staged at great expense. Your card is full or your drive is filling up. You have to offload this material into a secure format which can be stored and from which it can be retrieved. Professionally this means you have to do it on location . The card media doesn't hold very much; cameras with drives built-in are not really practical as you don't want to be in a situation where you have to take the camera out of service, stop shooting while the material is downloaded. This also means the material has to be backed up onto a hard drive and stored on the hard drive. Hard drives have a high propensity for failure over time. For production media and important personal media that means you're going to have to have archival redundancy. You can burn your media to disk or DAT tape or put it on multiple drives. All of this takes time and expense. The workflow issues for memory-based formats still need to be resolved, and the camera manufacturers, just have they have done nothing to facilitate post production with their choices of compression formats, have done nothing to create viable workflows for non-tape based system.
Most of my professional work is done in FCP. We shoot in HDV, recording on tape and simul-recording onto a DTE. The DTE material, QuickTime clips, is dumped to a separate hard drive for editing, and the second drive is shelved as it fills and projects are completed. The tape is kept as a redundant second source. I've rarely had to access the tape. Only when there has been an operator error. The problem with card-based and HDD based formats is that for safety's sake a second archive, the redundant backup, needs to be created before the camera card can be erased and put back in service. That either needs having a lot of camera cards available (which are still really expensive), or having someone on location with an edit system processing and backing up your material to re-cycle the cards.

I do not keep my bookmarks on the boot drive. WHere is the bookmarks file located and how do I move it in Firefox 8,0,?

Where is the iPhoto library stored and how can I browse to it in Finder? The "Photos" option is not showing up on the left hand side.

I created an app using Automator to batch resize my photos. When I take photos with my iPhone 4s the resolution is so big I can't upload them to a web site, so I can select all the photos in an event and resize them down. It's too time consuming to open each one in Preview and resize it manually. This little app works perfectly!
Here's the only thing I'd like to change - when the app starts up it asks which photos I want to resize. I'd love it to default to the iPhoto library so I can choose the most recent event. But I can't for the life of me find it! Normally there's a choice on the left hand side that says Photos and in the automator finder window, it's not showing up. I've looked through all the folders I can think of and can't find it.
Help!

You are not using iPhoto properly and are in danger of losing your photos
iPhoto is a SQP database application and there are NO user servicable parts in the database (by default the iPhoto library) It is extremely important that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the content (or structure) of the iPhoto library
The only safe (and suppoprted) way to resize photo is to select them and export using the various esize options in teh export dialogue and use those resized photos - this is a bathc process and does not involve Preview nor does it involve seperate processing for each photo

Where is the trash in ipad and how can I open it to restore photos trashed

I got a new Ipad and I had erase photos just installed - all 1 album. I would like to restore them because I had also erase from my SM card, So these photos are lost unless I can find where and if there is a trash where I can pick them back. It is all new... and I am upset. Thank you for your help.

There is no trash can.
You delete something, it is gone.

HT3386 Where is the icon for pages? How can I open desktop labels program

Apps says Pages is installed. I cannot locate it on my iMac. Cannot open desktop labels either. Have been charged for both.

If you bought Desktop Labels from the Mac App Store, it should be in your Applications folder.
You can open AppleWorks 6 word processing, spreadsheets & presentations in Pages, Numbers & Keynote respectively. You cannot open any other type (draw, paint or database) of AppleWorks 6 documents with any iWork application nor can you open AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks documents. There is no special importing needed. There are several methods you can use, common to most Mac applications. Use the Open dialog, Control- or right-click & choose the desired application from Open With in the contextual menu or drag the icon of the file onto the desired application icon in the Finder or the Dock. If you want to (semi-) permanently change the application to open the files, you can do it in Get Info. I'm not sure how successful this would be with AppleWorks documents, though, since OS X does not differentiate between the various AppleWorks document types & there are three different applications you would use.
Preview, that comes with the Mac OS will open PDFs.

Where are the transitions for Jpegs and graphics

I can not figure out how use transition on jpegs i put into the timeline.
in imovie it's easy , just drag in the jpeg and drag the transition.
All of my transitions in FCE are greyed out.
Can somebody answer this question,
Thanks.

1. Put your photos together in the timeline.
2. Click the cursor on the line separating 2 pctures and a slightly thicker marker will appear on the line.
3. Now go to the transitions which will no longer be greyed out and click on the one you want.
4. If you want to modify it double-click the transition in the timeline and the Transition Editor will open in the Viewer.

My system preferences have suddenly disappeared! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

I went to my system preferences today and they are all gone except for my language and text icon! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.
