Where are my files on a MAC?

I have created an air app that looks to an XML file for the
location of an mp3 file.... the mp3 file is saved in the same
folder....
When I install this app on a PC, the xml file and the mp3 are
clearly in the program files folder with the app.
When a friend installs it on her mac she says that in the
applications folder there is just the program and no other files...
it runs OK so the files must be there somewhere but she can't find
them.... Where are they? Tried doing a search but nothing came
up.... I need her to be able to access the mp3 file.... is it
inside the program file on a mac?
Thanks,
Matt.

The program file is actually a folder on Mac. You need to
control-click on the App file and select "Show package content".
Then the Finder will open the folder.

Where are .emix files on my mac?

Backblaze is backing up .emix files but Spotlight can't find any of these files. Spotlight is set to search all categories. (OS 10.9.2, Mac Pro)

Spotlight, EasyFind and Finder should find them.
Try this in Finder

Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason. I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

Where put the files in Mac .app projector bundle?

I just read a technote in the knowledgebase on considerations for creating a Mac projector bundle. For OSX, the note seemed to suggest that you should place them in the Contents folder. The example they give has the executable in the MacOS and a file called example,dir in the Contents folder. I am trying to test a bundle I created in Windows Dir 11.5 on a PowerBook running Mac OSX 10.5. My executable called launcher was automatically bundled into the .app/Contents/MacOS folder Then I copied my dcrs into the Contents folder, the first of which menu.dcr is the first one the launcher goes to, but can't find it. I tried placing the content in the same folder as the executable first, but that didn't work so I read the technote. Now placing them in the Contents folder does not work either. That technote seems a bit old so I am wondering where the app files go now and if the launcher can use a gotoNetMovie "menu.dcr" to find the first file of the app? Everything works in Windows, but every single app I have tried to convert to Mac has required major adjustments so I expect the same here?

Thanks Rob,
I actually found that thread last night while looking for a solution from someone - I saw it on the right side of my question listed as - More like this, but have been waiting for one of my studnets to tell me if the test file I placed on the web worked or not. My PowerMac G4 can't handle these 11.5 .apps without crashing on sound and fileio etc etc. You also have to be careful not to forget to add the xtras to this new starter movie or script errors will occur.
It is really amazing that the placement of files in a bundle was changed in D11 and Adobe did not include this in their documentation or in the help file. In MX 2004, linked files would logically go in the same folder as the executable /Content/MacOS. Now the bundle has no idea where the linked files are and you have to create this stub movie to tell Director where to search. Cross platform application development is still a very important part of Director development and so this change should be documented and there should be a chapter in the Using Director explaining that creating a Mac .app from your Windows project will likely not work without a lot of tweaking of paths, fonts, sounds, net commands, fileio, etc. etc. You should also be able to type ".app" or "bundle" into the help search system and get something other than topic not found.
I will give you credit for your reply though - thank you!

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 are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

Where is the printer spool file on my Mac ?

I have a Mac Pro with 10.5.2 - and I print with 3 large Epson printers.
I had a print that started to print (Photoshop CS3)- and I saw that it was not what I wanted. I canceled the print in the Epson icon (on the dock) - and I shut down the printer and reset it.
But, when I turned the printer back on, the print started again.
Where is the file that holds prints - the printer que or printer spool file - on the Mac?
I have looked everywhere, and I cannot find such a folder anywhere. Anyone know where it is??
I used the CUPS tool
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
to finally get rid of it, but I still would like to know where that file is kept.

Unfortunately, even though when Apple announced Handoff and Continuity and said Bluetooth 4.X was required, not all Macs with Bluetooth 4+ are compatible with Handoff. If the checkbox in System Preferences -> General isn't there, your Mac isn't compatible with Handoff. You can confirm that by going to "About This Mac" under the Apple Menu and then selecting "System Report." Then select Bluetooth in the upper left and see if your Mac is Handoff compatible. I'm typing this reply on a 2011 MacBook Air with Bluetooth 4.3.1 and running Yosemite but it's not compatible with Handoff.
You still will be able to make and receive phone calls on your Mac as long as your iPhone is within Bluetooth range. You can set that up in the FaceTime preferences. That's part of Continuity.
I have seen some instructions + software on the Web to enable continuity on Macs with Bluetooth 4+ that otherwise aren't compatible with Handoff. You'll have to do a web search if that's something you're interested in learning about.
Wish I had better news.

HT1296 How do I syn pdf files eg. of an econs notes from school onto my iPad? Where do I save these files to my Mac so that I can sync them to my iPad?

Hi
Just bought a CD for my Econs subject, has a lot of pdf files which I hope to load to my iPad.
1. Where do I save these pdf files on my Mac?
2. How do I syn such that these files can be found on my iPad so that I can read them?
Please help, details needed as I am not a techie yet
Thanks v much to anyone who can help

You first need to decide which app(s) that you are going to copy the PDF2 to on the iPad - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support PDFs include free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and paid-for apps such as GoodReader.
For all apps it doesn't really matter where you initially store them on your Mac.
For iBooks you can add the PDFs to computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them to the app by connecting the iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then using the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync those PDFs.
For other apps it will depend upon what the app that you get supports e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

Where does PSE store files on a Mac

I just installed PSE 10 on my MacBook. I had been using Iphoto'08 but when I bought a new camera, I wanted something more sophisticated both for organizing my photos and for editing and enhancing them.
So far I installed PSE 10 successfully and have been playing with it. The Organizer works well and does what I want it to do. My intention is to use Organizer for new photos and leave the old ones on Iphoto for now. However, what I cannot work out is where PSE stores the files on the Mac after I work on them. It does not look like they are back in Iphoto as I have made changes to photos that are not reflected in there.
Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Just to clarify: Under normal circumstances the organizer is nothing but a database. It doesn't move/copy/etc anything, just makes a note of where it is. The one exception is when you use the From iPhoto command to import. In that case, organizer makes a duplicate to avoid writing into the iphoto library, which could easily make you lose all your photos.
If you mean you have images in organizer and you want to find their physical location, right-click the image in question, choose Show Properties, and then you should see something like this:

"Always ask me where to save files" does not work.

Summary: The "Always ask me where to save files" feature does not work. No dialog box comes up, apparently because the browser is stuck on a bad old read-only lastDir location, in a prefs.js file that I can't edit.
Details:
I am using Firefox 30.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8. My Mac has a both a read/write Mac partition that I use most of the time, and a bootcamp Windows partition drive ("C"), which I can read but not write to.
At some point I accidentally tried to download a file from a site, using Firefox, to the read-only Windows C drive. Ever since that time, I have not been able to download any files from Firefox, except to the firefox/downloads folder. This is inconvenient. If, in preferences, I try to set downloads to ""Always ask me where to save files", the dialog box does not come up when I actually try to save files. This problem does not apply to saving photos by right-clicking them.
If I open, in text-edit, mozilla/firefox/profiles/t4vockvue.default/prefs.js, which was saved yesterday, I can see a problematic line. It reads:
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc]");
C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc] being the read-only windows directory.
This prefs.js is apparently not an editable file.
I tried to fix this by opening a browser tab in Firefox and opening about:config. The editable browser.download.lastDir does NOT show the same "lastDir"....it shows some directory that I successfully downloaded photos to, by right-clicking on a photo.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.

To confirm which profile folder is active when you are running Firefox, it is easiest to open it from inside Firefox as follows:
Sometimes the file that stores the customizations becomes corrupted and fails to update properly at the end of your session. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button (Windows: "Show Folder" button).
Hopefully you are using a separate profile folder on each OS.
