Where is the iphoto plist file in Mountain Lion

I upgraded to ML and iPhoto 9.3.2 and imported a few GB of photos. After the import iPhoto started crashing. It seems like the first step is to delete the plist file but I can't find it in ML. Anyone know where it is?

Usually would be found in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. However, that particular Library folder is invisible. You can make it visible:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the following line at the prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
You should then be able to peak inside the preferences folder.

Where is the ipad backup file in Mountain Lion?

In Snow Leopard, there was a library folder in the user folder, but in Mountain Lion, you have the system library, but no user library that I can see. I would like to locate it so that I can have the option of deleting the iPad portion of the Mobile Backups (like I did with SL to free up more space).
Please advise.
Thank you!

And you are sure you are backing up to the computer and not to iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First, you have to add the Facebook account.

Where are the iTunes plist files

I changed to Lion. Because the OS I started from had corrupt files I opted to partition and create a clean instal. Because of the corruption on the old system I do not want to use file migration. The only two things I need to move are my .plist files for iTunes and iPhoto, which I can find on the old system but not on Lion.
I unlocked the hidden files but I can't find the library or the prefernce folder in which to place the old .plist files. Where is it? Does anyone know?

The Library is Hidden in Lion. Finder Menubar/Hold the Option key/Go/Library
Files will be in ~/Library/Preferences

Where can I find the Reminders data file in Mountain Lion?

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the data file for the reminders in Mountain Lion? When I recently synced my iPad to iMac it deleted the 50+ reminders that were on the iMac. I have done hourly backups with time machine but would like to know where to go to find these to reinstate them.
Also, does anyone knows how to turn off the reminders sync as I'm not using iCloud and there does not appear to be any option to sync reminders in iTunes?
Thanks a bunch!!

Hi,
in JDeveloper 11 the deployment is in the project properties. I am not sure they are written to the file system anymore

Where is the Iphoto cache file in Iphoto 11

Hi All
I am having a problem syncing photos from Iphoto 11 to my Ipad. I was advised to delete the Ipad cache file in the library but it is not there. Any ideas where it is in Iphoto 11?
Many thanks
Joe

The iPhoto cache file is located in your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. Also there is an iPod Photo Cache folder inside the iPhoto Library package that might affect your syncing. You can try clearing out both of those two folders and see if there's any improvement.

Where is the "add link" function in Mountain Lion release of PDF Preview

Just installed ML. Opened a PDF using Preview 6.0 (765). Can't find the ADD LINK function. It is suposed to be in the Annotate menu, but I can't find it. Anyone know where it is/went?
Should be:
As-is (Preview 6.0):

Good idea Matt on Pages.
Yes, looks like someone left something out of Preview and the person doing the help didn't know they'd removed some of the core functionality. Seems like more dumbing down of the OSX apps to be more like iOS apps??? Too bad.
Found an app on the app store called PDF-EDITOR that allows you to add URL hyper links to PDFs. Seems to work fine.

Where is the MailAccounts.plist stored for a network user account using Apple Mail on Snow Lion?

Where is the MailAccounts.plist file stored for a network user using Apple Mail on Snow Leopard? It appears one of my users has managed to do something to their mail account as Apple Mail will no longer close once opened and the Sent Folder has a perpetual spinning pinwheel.

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

Where are the iPhoto files separate from the program?

Hi.
I am running iPhoto 8.1 in Leopard 10.5.6 on my early 2008 MacBook Pro 15".
I want to "backup" my iPhoto files. How I used to do this before Leopard, was to go into Pictures and find my iPhoto folder and there, I would find all the folders of my imports from my camera, numbered and in order by years, also. I would them just drag and drop each folder into Toast, and when it reached a DVD volume, I would burn a disc.
Now, in Leopard, I cannot find the iPhoto Files Folder. Every way I have tried to access it, I end up with iPhoto and when i click, it opens the program. SO what I have is the open program with the photos in the events.
How do I find and Where is the iPhoto Files Folder.
Thank you.
Waiting for your replies!

How I used to do this before Leopard, was to go into Pictures and find my iPhoto folder and there,
This has nothing to do with Leopard or the Operating System.
With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder became a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. 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.
Want to look inside? Select the iPhoto Library and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
I would find all the folders of my imports from my camera, numbered and in order by years, also. I would them just drag and drop each folder into Toast, and when it reached a DVD volume, I would burn a disc.
Any time you access the iPhoto Library via the Finder or any other application you risk damaging the Library.
If you want to burn a back up using Toast then use the Media Browser built in to Toast or any of the following:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a 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. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
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.

What does the HSTS.plist file in the Cookies folder in /Library ?

What does the HSTS.plist file in the Cookies folder in /Library ?
If I open it in TextEdit it is filled with sites I never have visited.
Does anybody know where this file is used for ?
Thanks

I also have this file in the same folder in the same location with two other 'documents' called:
1. com.apple.appstore.cookies
2. Cookies.binarycookies
Document type shows as 'OOPlistDocumentType'.
Yes lots of website addresses and at least one known spam tel number. The top line of the text when opened by TexEdit is as follows:
bplist00“ ∑_ )com.apple.CFNetwork.defaultStorageSession_ !hstsd Disk Storage Schema Versionﬂ ±
This is a bit of a worry ........

Where is the iPhoto folder?

I am using iPhoto 9.2.1 (OSX 10.6.8) after a recent upgrade. I was accustomed to searching for my photo files within the pictures folder> iphoto > where in addition to the iPhoto library there would be a folder containing all my files organized chronologically and by roll as they were uploaded. Now I find no such folder , instead there is an iPhoto recovered files folder, from my previous libraries and the new files are only accessible by clicking on the iPhoto library icon which opens the application revealing all my stored photos etc, however this way I can't access these pics from say my mail app or if I happen to be on a webmail like yahoo and want to send a pic I can't access the files, where is the iPhoto file folder being kept now? is it accessible or am I dependant on iPhoto to manage all photos I uploaded from my camera? Also while I'm here, why can't I see my camera as an accessible removable drive in the finder but are dependant on a photo app to access my files within the memory card?

Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that +looks+ like a file in the Finder. 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.
Directly accessing the files via the Finder is not supported. It's also unnecessary and quite inefficient.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
All of the above are a: faster and b: safer than what you're doing.

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

Which is the latest iPhoto version compatible with Mountain Lion ?

Please, which is the latest iPhoto version compatible with Mountain Lion?
I just updated my OS X to 10.8.5 and still have iPhoto '11 v9.2.3. I have been unable to find if there is a newer compatible version of iPhoto; while I know that iPhoto 9.5.1 is incompatible with Mountain Lion.

Do you know where I can get it?
If you have a version of iPhoto '11 installed, try the updater, that Terence Devlin linked to. If you do not already own a version iphoto '11, buy an installer disk from for iLife '11 from Amazon or eBay. You cannot download a full installer for free, only updates.
