Where it the bookmarks folder located on my hard drive? I want to copy to a cd to save them.

Where is the bookmarks folder on my hard drive? I want to copy them to a cd to back them up. I have a lot of saved bookmarks that I do not want to lose. I know in MS that it is under the favorites folder, but I cannot find a bookmark folder.

One file named '''places.sqlite''' in your Profile folder, which also contains your browsing history.

Relative path for Download directory folder.I created a firefox profile and i wanted to use this profile in multiple machines.I wanted to use a relative path for download directory with respect to the profile folder.I need this on Linux machines

I have a use case where I need to use different download directories with different firefox profiles.I need to use this profiles in multiple linux machines.
I need to have a relative path to my download directory with respect to the profile folder.
Ex: I have a selenium test which opens a website and downloads it to my machine.I want this downloaded file to go into some specific folder relative to this profile folder.How do I do this??

That is not a practically empty xinitrc - that file only needs one line: exec WM. Other things are entirely optional, and some of them very useful, but I'd encourage you to stick with the simplest xinitrc that will do what you require.
Is slim involved? Probably. That is the source of many problems. But to start narrowing this down, I have 3 suggestions:
1) temporarily (at least) change your inittab to default to runlevel 3 ... actually, is it currently set to 5 or 3? if it is currently 3 that would explain why slim doesn't start.
2) at a tty in runlevel 3 use "xinit" instead of "startx". Startx is fine most of the time, but it is essentially just a complex wrapper for xinit. That complexity can often iadd useful functionality, but it *always* makes troubleshooting more difficult. So for now just use a vanilla 'xinit'.
3) remove dbus-launch from your exec line in xinitrc. This is done by console-kit so it is redundant and potentially problematic. Further BOTH of these are taken care of by slim, so I'd even suggest getting both a jump start on being ready for slim and simplifying troubleshooting by removing both of them. Just make that line "exec openbox-session"
Edit: adding one more:
4) temporarily switch out openbox-session for openbox. I suspect the reason feh's setting of the background is getting overridden is due to a script or setting in openbox's autostart settings - many of these are only invoked when "openbox-session" is called, while "openbox" starts *just* the window manager itself.

Where is the coverart folder located so I can restore it in TIME MACHINE

I am adding songs day by day from the 30 days of the grateful dead for 2013.

How do I restore this state in time machine? I don't know where the folders are because everything is cryptic to me...
any help will be grately appreciated.

If you ever have reset Firefox then you may still have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.

Where is the "Profile" section in Project Property window?

Hi, first time use this Oracle JDeveloper. From the tutorial it seems that inside the Project Property window, the left pane, you have the "Common" section and "Profile" section. Inside "Profile" section it's the "Development", then under Development you have "Paths" "CodeCoach" "Compiler", etc.
My problem is, in that left pane, I only see a "Common" section, I don't even have something called "Profile". This makes it impossible for me to set the class path, because according to the tutorial, I need to change something under "Development" which is under the "Profile".
Any advice welcomed! Thanks!

Hello all,
I'm trying to use ADF Faces. According to the document, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/faq.html, section 3.5:
"You need to enable J2SE 1.4 Assertions. In jdev this can be done in project properties (Select Tools -> Project Properties -> Profiles -> Development -> Compiler -> Enable J2SE 1.4 Assertions.)"
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.34.12 on Mac OS X, java version 1.5.0_02-56. How do I enable J2SE1.4 Assertions?
Thanks,

Where is the Downloads folder located on iMac 10.4.11?

.....

Welcome to ASC!
By default, Mac browsers save all downloads to the Desktop. See if the folder is here:
Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > [yourusername]
or
Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > [yourusername] > Documents
If it's not there, simply create one where ever you like.
Once you've found it or created it, go to your browser and set it to route downloads there. In Safari Preferences:
It's similarly located in other browsers like FireFox.

FCP X version 10.1.1. When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? how can I fix this problem? not space prob

Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem.
Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production. Has Apple fixed this problem. is there a knowledge base article on this?
On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project, I cannot share it.....Really. This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.
Regards,
Rob Harris

Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work. I will repair permissions again, I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

What is folder q2tw177e.default located inside the profile folder

The application data folder, windows xp, has a folder labeled q2tw177e.default located inside the profile folder. I can find out nothing with this label when searching google. Makes me suspicious about this folder. Does anyone know anything about it. Thanks.

There is nothing to worry about that folder.
That is the actual Firefox Profile Folder that stores your personal data.
There are two of them:
* C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The latter is the location used for the browsing cache and a few other files.<br />
See also the about:cache page for the location of the cache.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
Thank you!

At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

Where is the favorites folder in firefox?

How do I get to the profile folder to change settings?

A spammer has taken control of my email. AT&T says I need to change my firefox profile settings but I can't find the folder. How do I get to the folder.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Last Thursday

Robert, if AT&T says that you need to change Firefox profile settings, you need not actually view the Profile folder. All you have to do is change the Firefox settings by clicking on '''Tools''' at the top of Firefox and then selecting '''Options'''. When you change the Firefox settings this way, they are automatically saved into your Profile folder.
In case you wish to reset your Firefox settings to what they were at the time Firefox was installed, please follow the instructions in this article: [[Resetting preferences]].
Anyway, just for your knowledge, you can view this article to find out how to locate your profile folder: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile How to find your profile].

Where is the LOGIC folder ???

Hi. I installed Logic 7 on my Dual 2.3 for the first time today . I have 2 hard drives , one just for audio , so the install went to my system drive. Under applications i can see the Logic Icon which opens the program. Where is the physical folder , i mean where r the EXS24 samples etc.
Sorry its my first week with OSX.....
I shall be upgrading to 7.1 soon , so i will need to delete all this before installing that wont i ??
Thanks
Faisal

Hey Faisal,
OSX, sorts all applications right down in the application folder. Asscociated folders and documents are sorted in a folder called Application Support.
So your "Logic folder" is located here: system drive/library/Aplication Support
You actually have another one here also: User(probably your name)/Library/Application Support
This one is for your own saved patches etc.
So the Factory Library to your Exs 24 are located in the first and your own will be located in the second, by default. You don't have to follow this though.
You will not have to delete anything to run the updater, actually, you really shouldn't!
ATB,
Erik

Where is my profile folder?

Just reinstalled mac os x but forgot to backup the profiles folder so lost all my bookmarks. Reason I re-installed Mac OS X was for a new HDD, so I've got the old one (as it was) in a USB enclosure.
Was under the impression that the folder should be in Library/Application Support/Mozilla Firefox/profiles but there's no profiles folder, just an extensions folder.
Where else could it be? Where was firefox storing my info if not there?

It's not in the library folder (as above) and unfortunately no roaming folder either, although not sure whether you've got that path entirely correct. I've never seen an appdata folder directly in the username folder.

Copying the Profile folder as backup means

I have a simple question:
will copying my profile folder from an old computer and then pasting it in the appropriate location on the new computer retain everything? I mean can it replace backup extensions that are available?

Yes, everything except for the Cache. But when you copy that data to the new computer you need to copy the '''contents''' of the old Profile folder into the Profile folder on the new PC, replacing the files in the newly created Profile on the new PC. The Profile name has to be the same or Firefox won't recognize it.
