Where's the Users data?

Sadly, my hard drive failed on my alum. iMac 24, and I had it replaced under warranty. I was grateful that I had been using Time Machine (to an external HD), and this was the first time I needed to restore anything (in this case everything).
It appears that everything is in the Time Machine archives except all the files that would normally be in the Users folder. Am I to assume that I've lost all my email, contacts, calendar, paswords, etc etc ??? Or do I need some special access routine to unhide those files?

I'm starting to believe that you may be right, but I wasn't even aware that you could exclude material in syncs. It's obviously not something I would have done deliberately, since my User are practically the most valuable stuff I have.
I've always hated the fact that every Mac is assumed to be a multi-user machine by default, when 99% of Macs are used by one person. It is a personal computer, right? Why should I be forced to jump through hoops configuring myself as a user, when I'm the only user. Anyway, sorry to rant. That's off topic.
I guess I'll have to see what I can salvage from sources outside of Time Machine.

  • Length of the User Data attributes

    Hello All,
    anyone knows where can i get the max length of the user data, that can be saved in UME (for both standard and customized data)?
    Cause in some cases a i get the message that some attributes cannot be longer that 20 characters and i would like to change it
    Thanks for help!

    Hi Karol,

    So you could modify the implementation.

  • BAPI_USER_CHANGE to change the user data

    Hi,
    I am using BAPI_USER_CHANGE to change the user data like telephone number, address etc. Everything is working fine but when I want to add new telephone number with no change in exsting numbers then it wont allow to add instead of adding it changes exsting information.
    Ex. Exsting telephone numbers  123 & 456
          And I want to add 3rd number as 789
         Then final record should be 123,456,789
         But this function module doesnt do that it changes first one with new one i.e. 789 & 456.

    Swarup
    Pass all records for Tel Numbers alongwith the new record.... I think, you are just passing the new Tel Number details to the BAPI.
    Thanks

  • Where are the users startup items physically located?

    Hi all
    I messed around with my login items as I had a startup problem (very slow startup). I 've deleted the Microsoft AU Deamon, now I want to reinstall it from a backup - but where is the thing???

    Where are the users login items physically located?
    The physical login item process could be located any where. Your ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist initiates login applications or processes.

  • Where is the User Group stored

    Hi all
    I have a question about the User Groups.
    I want to know where are the User Groups and their information stored in Business Objects.
    Is there a system table from where I can access/pull this information.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    You can use the Query Builder (on the BusinessObjects Administration Launchpad under Administrative Tools) to query the CMS database.
    The following query would return some details of all user groups in your system:
    SELECT
    SI_NAME, SI_DESCRIPTION, SI_ID, SI_ALIASES, SI_GROUP_MEMBERS
    FROM
    CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS
    WHERE
    SI_KIND = 'usergroup'
    You can find documentation on querying the CMS in the Developer Library:
    http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm#en/BOE_SDK/boesdk_java_dg_doc/doc/boesdk_java_dg/SDKFundamentals34.html#1033059

  • Where is the user manual for Adobe Digital Editions?

    Where is the user manual for Adobe Digital Editions?

    Thanks to you both for your replies.
    I should have explained that I have already seen 'Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions', an epub document that comes with the software.  It is only nine pages long, more of a quick guide than a manual. I had expected that there would be more to the software than is covered there.  Perhaps there isn't.  (To explain a little further: I was looking for a way to cause epub pages to print or display like the pages of the original book, but couldn't find anything about printing beyond.  That feature is present in the Bluefire Reader for iOS devices.  I tried printing a particular page using Ctrl+P and specifying the page number.  The page printed, but it was spread over two sheets of A4 paper and the page number was not printed.) 

  • What to be trashed from the User Data folder

    Hi Guys;
    After I finish a project, I trashed all the project files, and from the Preference > Final Cut Express User Data, I trashed the FCE 4.0 Prefs; FCE Obj Cache; FCE MOA Cache and; FCE POA Cache. To my understanding, these files will be regenerated automatically as soon as I start a new project. Now I am not sure my understanding is right because the MOA and the POA are not regenerated. What should I do now? Should I drag them back from the Trash Can to the User Data folder (I still have them in my Trash Can)? Also, I have the FCE HD3.0 Prefs file sitting in the User Data folder but I am not using the HD3.0 any more, should I trash it or leave it alone? There are 2 other folders sitting in this User Data, they are Custom Settings and Plugins, they are both empty, should I trash them or leave them alone? Many thanks puisum

    Hi Tom
    I am back. Sorry, I do not understand “If no preferences are saved”, do you mean the MOA & POA are not being regenerated is due to permission problem? I did run the disk utility verify & repair permission before I start the new project and I did it again just now. The installation was done quite sometime ago and works OK for a few projects. Thanks ps

  • How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

    How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

    Hi there,
    You can create a scroll motion where the image will fade out on scrolling, you need to use the Opacity tab under Scroll Effects Panel.
    If you particularly need the image to be blur out, then you need to edit that image in any image editing program and make one copy of that image as blurred, then place both images (actual and blurred) on that page and use scroll motion or fade option to replace images.

  • Where is the UME data source configuration XML file stored on the server?

    I'm trying to activate windows integrated authentication in my portal server.  The java engine's UME configuration has been loaded as a deep AD read only database using the file "dataSourceConfiguration_ads_deep_readonly_db.xml" but I can't find this on my server.  I need to modify a couple of parameters in there to activate kerberos principal management.  My recent portal training course offered me a completed working example but it was for an ads_flat_writeable_db so I can't simply load that and I need to understand the changes required.
    Where to I find the configuration file on my java instance server so I can make the necessary changes to a copy and upload that?

    UME user data is stored in one or more data sources. Each type of data source has its own persistence adapter. The persistence manager consults the persistence adapters when creating, reading, writing, and searching user management data. Persistence adapters for the following types of repositories are available: 1. Database: See the Product Availability Matrix on SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/pam60) for details on which databases are supported. 2. u2022 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory: See the Product Availability Matrix on SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/pam60) for details on which directories are supported. 3. SAP Systems based on Web Application Server 6.20 You can configure UME to use one or more of these persistence devices in parallel. Users can also be stored in several different physical LDAP directory servers, or in different branches of the same LDAP directory server.

  • Contacts: where is the local data file saved?

    Where does Mountain Lion store the local data file for the Contacts app?

    It isn't a file. It is a collection of files, indexed with a sqlite3 database, which is all stored in your user Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.
    To get to your User Library, in the Finder, hold down the option (alt) key and select Library from the Go menu.

  • I'm new to Apple products. Can someone point me to where an applications user data is stored. For example: skype user data

    I've been searching through the various folders on my Mac Pro hard drive and cannot see where user data is stored.As an example, I deleed Skype and reloaded it and my old profile data is still available. but I cannot determine where it is stored. Can someone point me to whaere this type id data is stored

    Skype and other applications as well may store all their data within their application package. Or they store their data elsewhere such as the Documents folder, as I mentioned.
    There are hidden folders but they are system folders and files. There is no reason for you to ever access them.
    Skype may also store all that it needs to function in its /Home/Library/Preferences/ preference folder. The storage of any other produced data is located wherever the user designates.
    iPhoto stores your photos in the iPhoto Library which is found in your /Home/Pictures/ folder.

  • Where is the binary data of this icon stored and retrieved from Application server?

    Hello guys,
    Today I observed one phenomenon and could not explain it per my knowledge.
    I have one url which points to an icon in application server:
    https://<host name>:44301/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/themes/sap_corbu/common/libs/Icon/SuccessMessage.gif
    I could successfully open it via chrome:
    and after that I could see an entry in ICM server cache. Everything works perfectly.
    Then I tried to check this icon in mime browser in SE80. To my surprise, the folder /sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/themes is empty.
    However, the ICM cache shows that there is a subfolder called "sap_corbu" under "themes" folder. But why I cannot find it in mime browser?
    Then I write a report to retrieve the binary data of icon via CL_HTTP_CLIENT, and clear the ICM buffer via tcode SMICM.
    I expect this time some database table will be queried to load the content of the icon, since now the buffer is not available.
    To my surprise again, in SAT no database table is involved.
    So now I am confused: since I have already cleared the ICM server cache, where does the icon binary data come from when I run the report to access the icon?
    Best regards,
    Jerry

    Hello guys,
    one colleague today told me that there is a zip file "ur_mimes_nw7.zip" in MIME repository /PUBLIC/BC/UR/ur_mines_nw7.zip. I download it locally and unzip it and indeed find many theme folders including sap_corbu folder and its resource files. So I guess there must be some logic done in web application server which will unzip this archive file and put each theme folder to the corresponding folders in application server. I would assume those logic are done outside ABAP stack side, this is the reason I cannot find any hint of them in ABAP backend via tcode SAT even I clear both client and server side cache.
    Best regards,
    Jerry

  • Where is the user.js file in my profile directory?

    I need to use Rich Text editor for work in echalk so I can cut, paste, copy, etc. I followed your support instructions at mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html and http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles. I was able to find the profile directory, but there is no user.js file to enter the "allowclipboard" code into. Where is this file? I could not make a new one.

    The mozilla.org page you referenced tells you ''if there's no user.js file, create one. '' The user.js file is just a simple text file you create yourself (e.g., with Notepad on Windows) that has a .js file extension.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file for details.
