Where is the file that contains the addresses from the Mavericks Contacts app? I need to synch two such files between computers.

I've been using Synchronise Pro X for years to sync several key work folders between a desktop machine (iMac) and my MacBook Pro. Having just upgraded both computers to Mavericks, things still worked, but the file scaning in SyncPro was very slow, so I upgraded to the latest version of Synchronise.... Now I've noticed that I cannot find the data files for what used to the Address Book program (and is now called Contacts) on either computer. Where are those files kept, as is there any reason that I would not be able to sync them?

I'll try iCloud, although I'm not happy with sharing my address book with Apple. Is there a secure way to do this? Also, when I tried to use iCloud to share Notes across my phone and the two Macs, I ended up with duplicate copies. Will that also happen with the contact list?

13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the prob

My daughter's 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen (null sign displays) after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. I reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP HD, but it still hangs in mid install. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the problem? I'd happily put 8 GB in if it seems probable that would solve the problem. I've tried all the suggested procedures that I've seen posted here. Disk Utility, and my older version of DiskWarrior indicate the HD is OK. I have DiskWarrior 5 on order.

Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down. If successful, you should see two HDD icons, Select the recovery partition (on the right).
From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility.
Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.

Recovering files that have been emptied from the trash

Is ther any way to recover files that you have sent to the trash, which you have subsequently emptied? Third party software? I accidentally trashed my entire iphoto library.
B&W G3 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

If your photo library is on your startup volume, and if you've continued to use the startup volume since deleting the files, then your chances of recovery may be very small. Once files are deleted the operating system may use the space occupied by the deleted files when it writes new data to the drive. The more new data written to the drive the greater the probability that your old files will be overwritten. Once overwritten they cannot be recovered.
If you hope to maximize recovery then you need to immediately shut the computer off or boot from a different drive and stop using the drive on which the deleted files are located.

Japanes text in a JSP file that contains an include defining the charset

I am developing a site in Japanese but I am having a problem
with getting dreamweaver to maintain the japanese text when I save
the file. The reason I am having trouble is because Dreamweaver is
looking for the meta tag character set definition within the actual
JSP document that I am saving. However, I am using a JSP include at
the top of this file which calls the head information and within it
the meta tag definition.
The end result is that when I go to save the file I get an
error message that says:
The
document's current encoding can not correctly save all of the
characters within the document. You may want to change to UTF-8 or
an encoding that supports the special characters in this
document.
Then I click the OK button and it saves the file. When I
reopen the file or if open the page using my local version of the
site, I find that Dreamweaver has replaced all the Japanese text
with ??? (question marks).
Can anyone tell me how I can get dreamweave to save the
Japanese without having the encoding set withing that JSP file?
Thanks in advance!

Okc/okx table that contains Transaction Type from the pricing/billing tab

We are running 11.5.9 EBS, and the module is Service Contracts Authoring.
I have a sql script that pulls data from the header and subline level for service contracts. If possible I would like to get the Transaction Type form the Pricing/Billing Tab. Summary > Pricing/Billing - submenu "Billing". I have not been able to find a table in OKC or OKX that contains this Transaction Type ID which can be tied back the cust_trx_type_id in the AR.RA_CUST_TRX_TYPES_ALL and in turn get the NAME for the transaction.

I'm not sure where the cust_trx_type_id would be stored in OKC/OKS tables, but the table OKS_BILL_TRANSACTIONS stores the trx_number that you can link to ra_customer_trx_all and get the cust_trx_type_id.

Can't clear a file that keeps on dowloading from the download manager

I clicked a link (linking to a .jpeg) in an e-mail for something I purchased thinking it was an extra to the purchase, but afterwards I realised it was just an Image to accompany the e-mail.
The problem is I can't clear the download from the download manager and everytime Firefox starts it makes a connection to download the file. I tried clicking the "x" next to the download but this just paused the download. I have also tried clicking "Clear Downloads" in the download Library but this didn't help.
How can I remove this file from the download manager ?
Thank you

Hey philipp, thanks for your answer! I wasn't aware it was a bug with the beta. I voted for it to be fixed.
Thanks!

Is there a way to find the photos that iTunes backs up from the iPhone?

A friend of mine had to replace his phone and something happened when he added the new phone. He can't find his photos that should have been backed up. There must be a file somewhere where they are saved on the computer I would think. Can it be accessed? Also what about contacts?

Thanks for the info. Not sure what he did or if he is very tech savvy. He and his wife bought 3G S phones and her's froze up after a month and had to be replaced. I don't know for sure if he had backed it up or not. I know he went to the Apple Store to get it replaced and he asked them about transferring the contacts and they said they couldn't because the phone was froze up. I know they had it just over 30 days. I don't think they were using another program for their contacts either.
Along the same lines another friend was asking about the photos and if there was a way to access them from the backup on the computer. He also had to replace his phone, but restored it from backup and got all his photos back. He was asking if there was a file somewhere to access those photos on the computer. I don't know how tech savvy he is, and maybe he doesn't realize that when you connect your phone to the computer that it gives you the option to view the photos and then copy them.

Here's how iTunes works. You add a file to iTunes. iTunes makes a note of where that file is located, gets information from it about artist, etc, and writes the information to its library file. iTunes doesn't look at that file again until you play it. It knows where to find it when it needs it. However, sometimes things happen so the file is no longer where iTunes expects it to be. In many cases this is because the user has renamed a file or folder in the file's pathway, or moved the file. In extreme cases it can happen because a hard drive is dying.
When iTunes invites you to find the file, it is asking you to do exactly that. If you renamed the file you need to remember what you called it and where you put it and point to it to rebuild the link. Sometimes if people move all their files to different drive you need to point to one and iTunes may be able to find others given that information and assumptions as to where the others should be located relative to that.
It is also possible files have gone missing. In that case you need to restore them from their original source or a backup you make regularly of your computer knowing that some day it is 100% guaranteed your drive will fail and you will be very happy you have a copy of everything on another drive.

HT1369 I am being told i-tunes has detected a problem with your audi configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly". I HAVE CHECKED THAT MY INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER IS WORKING WITH THE LEAD THAT HAS ALWAYS WORKED FROM THE COMPUTER.What should

I am not having any trouble with my i-pod which I can continue to connect to the computer to update. However when I get into the listen to the music on the computer I am unable to hear anything. This is also true for Spotify, and my own cd's inserted in the computer and i-player. I have connected an old Sony Discman to my amplifier and it works perfectly, so I know that the problem is not with the amplifier or the lead so it must be the computer audio.
My computer is a COMPAQ CQ 1140UK SLIMLINE DESKTOP PC.
I need to stress that I am a 65 year old non tech user. I use my computer a lot but have no idea how it works!! .
I believe that in my efforts to resolve this issue myself by going into the control panel .....I may have caused even mor problems.
At first, today, I could see that the track was playing, CURSOR MOVING ACROSS THE TRACK LINE, but I was getting no sound....now the tracks don't even seem to be playing at all!!
I remember, afew days ago seeing something flash up on Spotify about how it was going to do something with my i-tunes but it stated that it was nothing to worry about! So I didn't, until today!!
I only used Spotify to locate a track before I purchased it through i-tunes.
If anybody could advise me of what I could do to resolve this problem then I'd be most grateful.
This is my first time on this Apple Support Community so I hope that I am right in thinking that any response will arrive in my e-mail.
Thanks again

It might be worth trying a dxdiag to see if that finds anything amiss, michael.
Go Start > Run. In your Run, type dxdiag and hit enter.
Work through the troubleshooting tabs. Does dxdiag report any problems?

Is it possible to retrieve files that have been emptied from the trash such

I accidently trashed and emptied my password folder and my itunes library., Is there any wat to recover the info - thank you

In the future consider keeping backups.
Basic Backup
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
9. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete FireWire drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Can you restore a user file that has been deleted from the home folder?

Unfortunate series of events happened because of a wacky Mavericks install. I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

If you have a backup, yes. If not, no - unless to get some data recovery software or service ($$) which may or may not be able to recover anything.

I moved my iphone from my parents account to another account on a different computer and i still have some of the music that i dont want from the other account, how can i get it off of my phone without deleting it from the other itunes account?

Please Help

What type of "account" are you referring to? An iCloud account doesn't contain music, an iTunes account does.

Okay i had to install Itunes onto my new OS because window's Vista messed up on me and i can't get any of my old purchases back from my account such as music and movies any ideas on how to get them back (i do not have the folder that contains old items)
