Where is the Shared folder for the Themes?

While I know that the official position is that the calendar themes can not be changed, I see a reference to Shared/Backgrounds/Solid/aged-paper-cover.jpg in the vintage theme.
Where can I find this and other images to edit? I tried looking for it in the contents of iPhoto to no avail.
I know I'm doing this at my own risk. I know to make backups first. I just want to know where the theme template images reside.
Thanks.

I've not been able to find any editable files that are associated with a calendar in either the Application Support/iPhoto folder or the application itself. What version of iPhoto was the reference referring to? Can you provide the link to the reference?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

    Hello
    On my flash, I already have those parameters in place.
    I don't think there would be any security issues however, since I have used a player .swf which loads from the media site and plays the videos without a problem.
    http://www.iongeo.com/channelguide_test_dev/
    click on the four images at the bottom of the screen to see how it works.
    Now, I am pretty much doing the same thing, but this time embedding the other swf to load the videos.  As I mentioned, I was able to do this when everything was on our server, but now there is an issue for some reason when I try to load the .flv into the .swf from the other media server.

  • E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

    Hi, 
    I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router.  I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive.  I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well-  everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
    I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
    I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either...  It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
    Anybody have anything else for me to try?  
    Help!

    Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem. 
    1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
    2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
    3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
    I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
    Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it. 

  • How to set the deployment folder for the server

    Hello All,
    I'm a new bee to this SJWS. I'm using SJWS 7.U4.
    When i build my web application, it is creating the war file in some location; lets say xxx. I dont want to deploy every time (manually update the war file and then click on deployment pending). So how can i set the deploy folder's path to the xxx so that just the build and restart of the server is sufficient and the server picks the latest war. Please guide me. I think this type of configuration options are provided in many of the web servers.
    Thanks

  • How do I change the default folder for saving contacts?

    I have happily used Outlook for several years for POP accounts.  My recent addition of an Exchange account has hijacked several default behaviors that I was used to.  For one,  contacts are now saved by default in the exchange related contact
    folder instead of the folder that is associated with my primary POP account.  How do I reconfigure Outlook to saved contacts to my preferred folder, so that I don't have to constantly move the new contacts after they are saved?  I do not want this
    information on the exchange account.  This bad behaviour occurs no matter what email account is read, from which I am saving the contact info.
    To reproduce the problem:  Open a message in the POP email, right click on the FROM email address, choose Add to Contacts from the menu, find the contact stored in the exchange contact folder instead of the contact folder for the POP account (the folder
    that Outlook USED to save to prior to adding the exchange account).
    Work around: (annoying the first few times, mentally unhealthy after more than a few) Save the contact, then manually move it to the correct folder.

    Hi,
    What version of Outlook are you using?
    I have test this in Outlook 2010/ Windows 7.
    If set POP as default outlook data file(.pst),
    Open a message in the POP email, and right click "Add to Contact" in FROM with External email address, it will save to POP contact folder.
    If the Email address end with @Exchange.com, it always save to Exchange contact folder, no matter what is default email account, maybe this behavior by default.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I hide the parent folder of the user home folders in File Sharing?

    In 10.6 Server I would set the parent folder so that "Everyone" could not list folder contents, then set "Everyone else" read only.  This prevented the parent folder from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.
    In 10.8, this trick no longer seems to work.  No matter what I set the ACLs to, the folder always shows up as a share point in the connection window.  2014 is the folder I've set for the Home directories of our network users (and there will be 2 more for graduating years.)  I can set the ACL so if they attempt to mount it, it just spits out an error saying they can't view the contents, but that isn't reasonable.  I don't want it to show up at all.  The only thing the students should see is their home folder.  Nothing else.
    What can I do to make it so 2014 doesn't show up in the connection window?  2014 is the parent folder for the home directories, so it can't be unshared.

    This prevented the parent folder from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.
    That second sentence should read:
    This prevented the child folder (parent folder to the home directories) from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.

  • HT1923 i cannot find the source of the itunes folder for uninstallation

    i was trying to download the new version of itunes but when i try to download it, it says that it wasnt able to find the correct folder for the installation program and i am not unable to uninstall it neither. how else can i reinstall the itunes?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Where is the stamps folder on the mac for Acrobat Pro Xl?

    About a month ago I downloaded dynamic stamps for received and paid and "installed" them on a team-mates mac running OS X.
    It was straight forward.  I did some forum searches and it gave me instructions to copy the .PDF file with stamps containing java scripts to a folder on the mac.
    Now a month later I find I need to do it on my mac.  I am looking for the stamps folder on where to "install" the .PDF file again and can't seem to find the stamps folder on the mac.  I tried creating the stamps folder to see if it would take and acrobat did not recognize it.
    I tried using the console to find the stamps folder for user and application with no luck.
    Any help would be great.  I know it works because I was able to install it properly on one mac in the past, I just did not copy down the instructions and can't reproduce it.
    Thanks.

    It's in your user (Home) > Library folder. In recent versions of Mac OS X, this is hidden by default.
    In the Finder, hold down the Option key first while choosing Go > Library so you can see it.
    Then find it in:
    Library > Application Support > Adobe > Acrobat > 11.0 > Stamps

  • The home folder for user isn't located in the usual place......

    ....or can't be accessed.
    Ok so I have trawled the internet and found this to be a known problem, however mine has an extra twist.
    Ok, my Mac has a local admin account, lets call it Admin, but the account I use is a network account called PBN.
    This network account does not create a home folder path to the server, as such it stores a user folder in Macintosh HD/Users/.
    Since buying this mac this has been working fine, no issues, but today when I log onto the machine it gets the error "The home folder for <user> isn't located in the usual place or can't be accessed", whats more is that its created a new folder labelled "~".
    Things I have tried:
    1) repair permissions and repair disk while booted into SL DVD
    2) Right clicking while in System Pref - Users to get to advanced options to check the home drive path (Can't do this because its a network account although the profile is stored locally)
    3) xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo / on problematic machine
    Couldn't do this on the PBN account as it has no permissions (although it is a domain admin)
    attr file no found error the admin account
    4) xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo /volumes/users/ while booted into another machine with broken machine in target disk mode.
    So, I am at a major loss and would really preciate any help

    The error messages regarding network homes really don't offer any specific clues as to what's wrong. The error message you're getting means one of several things - you've done something wrong setting up your server, you've done something wrong setting up your clients, your server has hardware/software issues, or your network infrastructure is bad. I'm honestly not trying to give you a bad time here, just going over possibilities.
    DNS, which you mentioned, is a good place to start. You mentioned that forward/reverse lookups work, and that's a good sign. But just to be sure, have you run sudo changeip -checkhostname
    If that reports back that the names match and there is nothing to change, then it's pretty certain that DNS is not the issue. Just to be sure, your clients are using your OS X Server, or whatever server is hosting DNS records for your setup?
    The next step is to double-check permissions on the shares where user homes are located. The clients should also have accurate date&time settings.
    The logs on the clients and server can also offer clues, however cryptic they may be, be sure to look at them if you haven't.
    Also, has this setup worked before, if not, can you describe how you set everything up? I've been stymied by OS X Server myself, so I get where you're at, but the more details you provide, the better chance that Tony, Mr. Hoffman, or other folks here can offer a few more clues/suggestions.

  • Iphone not recognizing photos put into the shared folder

    I'm trying to import new photos from a shared folder. I just dragged photos from my main account into the shared folder so other accounts on the same computer can drag them into their own iphoto. I had three sources of the new photos; canon camera, iphone4 and a sony. They are all working fine in my main account but when one of my user accounts tries to drag these iPhoto complains many of the photos are not recognized. After some discovery I found that many of these are "read only" and if I make it read/write it fixed the issue. I can't seem to find a way to use the "info" to change all the files at the same time. I have hundreds of photos I need to do this to.
    Is there any other solution to this problem?
    Was there a better way to do this from the start to avoid this situation?
    This is very frustrating...
    Thanks

    Is there any other solution to this problem?
    Use iPhoto Sharing:
    Enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account(s). In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • Question about the shared folder when backing up audio

    Hello, kind Mac folk. I've read a lot about using Itunes to backup Itunes libraries onto multiple CD-R's and it seems that, right now, this is the best option for me. However, I've also read that it's a good idea to also backup the "users/shared" folder from the HD because it contains some invisible information regarding the authentication of music that I purchased using my .Mac/Itunes account. So is it possible to burn this folder in the same burning project I'll use accross the CD-R's on which my tunes will go? Or do I need to place this folder in a burn folder and back it up that way? And, if the latter is the only way possible, will it matter that the information is on a separate disc if I ever need to restore or upgrade my hardware? Thanks so much for your help and advice.
    Austin

    If you create your backup CD-Rs from within iTunes, it's not possible to include the Shared folder.
    You have to burn that folder as a separate project.
    The size of the folder can be fairly large (mine is about 1.9 GB) depending on the applications and specific use of your computer.
    If your only goal is to save the authorization info in case of a HD crash or other failure, it won't help. After repair of a logic board or changing RAM, you will be asked to authorize again anyway.
    Take a look at this article
    The authorization info is stored in the 'SC Info.sidb' file inside the 'SC Info' folder in Shared.
    You can 'unhide' invisible files by tools like Tinkertool or OnyX (you can find them on versiontracker.com)
    Hope this helps.

  • Permissions Issue with the "Shared" Folder

    Hello,
    I’ve been encountering what appears to be an odd bug concerning permissions, notably during the use of the “Shared” folder (/Users/Shared). And I’ve looked around to find solutions, but haven’t come across a similar problem. Hence the post.
    Here’s how it works—or, rather, how it doesn’t work. Two people are using one computer (a MacBook Pro running 10.6.3) and would like to share documents, being able to read and write to them.
    From what I can understand, any document created in a folder should take on that folder’s access privileges. Since the permissions for the “Shared” folder indicate “Read and Write” privileges for all three groups (Me, staff, everyone), then any document created therein should, in principle, allow members of all three groups to read and write to it.
    Well, to cut a long story short, it doesn’t. Whenever a document is created in the “Shared” folder (with Pages or TextEdit, for example), the “Get Info” window shows that only the user who created it has “Read and Write” privileges. Members of the other two groups only have “Read” privileges.
    I ran the “ls –l” command in Terminal on the “Shared” folder, and here is an example of the output for one of the files:
    –rw–r– –r– –@ 1 username staff 342 31 Jan 17:08 Test.rtf
    As far as I can understand, this shouldn’t be happening. I’ve tried logging out and logging back in, rebooting, and repairing permissions from the original installation disk (no problems detected), but nothing changes and I still encounter the same scenario.
    Has anyone run across this issue before? And would anyone know what might be wrong, or even how to fix it?
    Thanks to anyone who might be able to shed some light on this detail to help me understand what is going on here.
    Best regards,
    Stephen

    I suppose you are working on the Mac?
    Which version of the OS?
    Go to the finder, hold down the ALT key and call G, there select the User Library (the one without a shortcut, this entry is without the ALT key not visible).
    Check the permissions of the preferences folder. Select the folder CMD+I
    You must have permission to read and write.
