Where is the folder that stores emails on my Imac

My Mail on my iMac has over 43,00 emails in it and I wondered how best to clean this up as my machine is not liking it!

You use the Mail app to delete unwanted messages. FWIW, they're stored in /Users/username/Library/Mail/ either under the account's name or Mailboxes, but I don't recommend mucking around in that folder.

Where is the folder that contains my Firefox bookmarks?

I'm new to Windows 7. With IE, I can see/add to the Favorites by locating the Favorites folder in Windows Explorer. I cannot find a similar file that contains my Firefox bookmarks. It would be handy for transferring bookmarks from an old computer to a new one.

Thank you for your help. I was hoping to find a folder that I could open and view, but the .json filename doesn't allow that. In looking around, I did learn about Firefox Sync for sharing bookmarks between computers, so I think I found a way to do what I need, as long as the old computer is still functional (which mine wasn't for a while).
I appreciate your quick response and help. Thanks again.

Iphoto Library - where is the folder that the pics are actually kept in?

OK...I was looking for a picture to use as a profile pic for facebook (and I was doing the same for another application one day but can't remember which one) and when you want to choose a picture from the finder (under pictures)....all you get is iphoto library (or photobooth - which is not what I am looking for)...that's it...you can't click it to open it and see the pictures in it. What is the proper folder to find your pictures in to upload this way without dragging the pic to the desktop and then deleting it after you use it?

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you're using a Cocoa-based browser such as Safari you can drag photos from the iPhoto Window to the browser's attach window.
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Where's the file that stores the Recent Files list? (Mac OS)

I closed a document yesterday that I had finished after saving a PDF from a saved AI file. When I went to "Open Recent File" and selected either the AI or the PDF, it says the file cannot be found.
I would like to take a look at the path of where Illustrator thinks the file should be so I can narrow down why the file is missing.
I've looked in /Users/(me)/Library/Preferences and haven't found anything.
Thank you!

I doubt this *.plist file will be any use to you… Why don't you go outside the app and use spotlight…?
or just comm+f

Where are the "receipts" of the photos that I email from iPhoto? I have no record that I can find of these.

Where are the receipts of the photos that I email from Iphoto. I can't find a record of those that I have sent.

I am not using it in a "professional manner". Even I need to know who I sent that particular photo to and when and by the way, who are you to define what Apple meant by the design of its software? I think you overstep yourself here. I also think Apple has made every effort to lead people to believe that it serves a dual purpose as a personal as well as business tool. I don't need sarcasm from you or anyone when I am trying to learn that which is hidden (or absent) in the software. Being professional does not necessarily mean for a "business", but rather the level of sophistication and usefulness in the product.

Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

HT201077 I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?

I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?
Help much appreciated!

Upload to the shared Photo Streams can take a long time. Sometimes hours. Did the photos appear by now in the stream?
Is the iCloud status o.k. ( iCloud Support webpage)?
Did you share from your mac or from a mobile device? And where are you checking the stream? On your Mac? If you are uploading from a mobile device - is the battery fully charged? Uploading to the Photo Stream is the first that will be suspended, if the device needs charging.
have ypu exceeded any limits? Daily hourly upload rates? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858

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.

Where does the word document store?

Hi Expert,
Using webdynpro java to upload the file, where does the file actually store?
I refer to below tutorial but have no ideal where the file is store. Please help.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00062266-3aa9-2910-d485-f1088c3a4d71
Thank you.

Hi Henry,
Once you reach the Action handler of the FileUpload UI Element your file has already been uploaded and is available in your context attribute. Now depending on the requirement you need to store the file.
If you need to store the file in a shared location then you need to write the file to that location using normal java I/O.
IWDResource resource = element.getMyResAttr();
InputStream is = resource.read(true);
try
/* read bytes from stream and write it to file */
finally
try { is.close(); } catch (final IOException ex) {}
If you need to store the file on the R/3 system then you need to call the function module/BAPI capable of doing so and pass the resource file to the function module. Some times you might need to convert the IWDResource file to a byte array. The code given above can be modified to do that. If there are no function modules or BAPI's capable of storing the Word Document available you will have to write one.
Let me know if this helps.

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. It is correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac.

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...

Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
On the iPhone nothing seems to work!
Facts:
1. everything worked perfectly for years!
2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated on my google account so it cannot be this one.
3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
Anyone out there having a clue?
