Mar 17, 2012Brand new MBP 15, 10.7.2, just got today. Migrated old MBP 13 which was 10.6.8. Now at random, a message asking for permission for incoming connections pops up at random for about 1/2 second. It's so fast I can't click on the allow or deny button. I shot video of the screen so I could actually see a frame. It says to fix it in Firewall, but I don't see anything about postgres listed there. But I don't even know what the heck postgres is. How do I stop this.

Nov 22, 2007I found something annoying with the leopard finder and view info with folder size. For example, the system folder thinks its 562.5MB, but the Library folder one level into the system folder is 3.25GB. Why does the system folder not add the sizes of all the other folders under it? Is there any way to change a plist file or something so that it does this?

OS X :: How To Edit Plist With Nano
Mar 2, 2009Is Nano a good way to edit plist files ?
I changed the time frame on my auto backup so it would only go once a day instead of hourly, now it seems like it does not run at all unless I do it manually.
Am I missing something or is Nano not good for editing these files?
OS X :: Wanted To Delete The Plist File?
Oct 17, 2010I was having issues with Safari so I wanted to delete the plist file. However, when I went to, I was told the file was locked. It let me delete it anyways, but I never recall locking it. I'm hoping it was just a fluke, but is there possibly some kind of malware or trojan that would have locked it?

OS X :: How To Restore Deleted .plist Files
May 31, 2010Last night in a desperate attempt to get some GBs back, I went crazy on Spring Cleaning and accidentally deleted all my .plist files... and considering I have tons of media editing software that I had arranged the preferences to ultimate perfection, I'm kinda upset.
How can i get them back?? I just redragged them from the trash to the Library/Preferences folder but they don't seem to be doing much there.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Don’t Have A Bookmark.plist In Library?
Feb 22, 2012Today I switched from mobile.me to iCloud and now I realize that my bookmarks changed back to a configuration I had weeks ago. So I go look for the bookmarks.plist in my Library to do whatever it takes - actually I am looking in yesterday’s Timeline Library - and I cannot even find a Safari folder in my Library, let alone the .plist. Where do I find it? What do I do to reinstall the bookmarks as I had them yesterday? How do I make sure iCloud synching doesn’t srew around with my bookmarks?

Apr 18, 2012When I open a new finder window, it doesn't have anything in it. If I change the preferences to another place, I get the contents. If I change them back to the desktop, I get nothing. Searching for something gets me items, but I would like my finder window to behave again. I just don't know where the preferences file is now, in Lion..

OS X Yosemite :: Cannot Boot Mac After Installing PList File
Dec 9, 2014I have a MacBook Pro using latest OS and had been having trouble with my wallpaper changing back to default settings. After reading this support thread: URL...., I followed the instructions to install the following file in this
directory:Â Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/Â The file called autodiskmount.plist had the following content (all following the directions of the thread above):Â <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" URL....
After trying to restart the laptop, it has now been stuck at the grey screen with the apple logo and the rotating circle. I have tried using disk utility and repairing the start up disk. Doing a safe reboot does not work.

Applications :: Can't Find Preferences .plist For Safari 4 On Vista
Feb 25, 2009I've been trying to find the title mentioned file on my Vista machine for a while now, and no luck. I've read numerous articles describing how it is located at
C:/Users/*Username*/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/Safari
But I have everything except the Preferences plist. Ultimately I just want to adjust the settings as you would with terminal to make Safari 4 use its blue inline progress bar, I think this is a bug (which I have reported).
Secondly, would anyone happen to know how to make the User Agent a permanent change to Firefox 3, as this is the only way to be able to access Live Mail, as Safari 4 seems not to want to play ball with it. The temporary fix so I have found is to set the User Agent as Firefox 3 (Even the IE8 didn't work??).
Software :: Reading Plist Files From Command Line?
Apr 18, 2002Can anyone tell me if there is a command line tool to read values out of plist files? I'm trying to write a script to automate installing the Balthisar Ghostscript Network Printer package, and I want it to check the version of the LPR module before replacing it. I wanted to do something cleaner than just parsing it's Info.plist file in perl.

May 12, 2012I've come here because I searched for the names of these .plist files on the net and got no results whatsover - ZERO. Drive Genius 3 picks out the following .plist files as corrupt, on a fairly regular basis. When I delete them, they come back pretty quickly, and the first I hear about it is when DG3 points them out to me again - only days later:Â
/Users/Kev/Library/Preferences/com.Incoradial.Stomatic.plist: Unexpected character at line 1 Â
/Users/kev/Library/Preferences/com.Datawise.Mousquetaire.plist: Unexpected character at line 1 Â
I am not experiencing any strange behaviour that I could link to the presence of these files, I'm just curious at to where they orginate from and why they get picked up as possibly corrupt so quickly?Like I say a quick search on the net brings up nothing at all for the names of these files. Sometimes there are about 3 more - but they all have names that I cannot relate to any applications I have on the Mac?I had noticed some wierd looking preference files before when using MainMenu and seeing the list as it was processing the batch tasks - but never got round to investigating it properly.

OS X :: Installation Adesso CyberTablet Z12 Driver - Stop At Info.plist
Dec 23, 2008I have just purchased a Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard) and I am trying to install this driver link (Scroll to the bottom). When I do I get about half way and it stops and starts at the beginning of the installation. I've noticed that it stops at info.plist. I have been able to install this driver on a Mac OS X 10.4.11 and it works great. The tablet seems to be recognized by Mac OS X 10.5.6 and I can used all the functionality of the tablet that Mac lets you. Such as write and so on and so fourth. The program Art Rage 2.5 works perfectly fine without the drivers but programs like Photoshop need this driver to detect pen pressure. I have contacted Adesso numerous times and have tried to call several times without any response. I'm hoping that someone may have the solution for me or perhaps could help me figure a solution.

Dec 27, 2008Well 10.5.6 has been so much fun and full of surprises - like a box of chocolates Gump would say. For some reason, the sleep function settings won't reset. I had my iMac set to sleep the HD after about an hour. I changed the setting to never, but it still wants to sleep. Never had any trouble like this before the update. My install is almost virgin as I had to reinstall because of the update. I don't have any add-ons running or anything like that. Can I delete the .plist file for these settings to start over?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Advancing To Previous Rather Than Next Message After Deleting Message
Mar 20, 2012I am using the Mail (5.2) app in OS 10.7. I have my Inbox sorted by decending date, i.e. newest mail at the top. When I delete a message, Mail currently selects the message above, i.e. the one that had arrived after the deleted one chronologically. Since I work through my emails from newest to latest (usually), I will already have seen the newer mesage. What I want to see is the next message on the list, i.e. the next one, which arrive before the deleted one. My question there is: How can I advance to the previous message rather than the next one (chronologically) after deleting a message?

OS X :: Tool For Searching Editing And Deleting Specific .plist Files And Cache Files?
Sep 17, 2008I'm not talking about a tool like Onyx, which is "excellent". Definitely the best, most simplest maintenance tool/utility.app for the Mac.I'm talking a simple tool for searching, editing and deleting both specific .plist files and cache files on an app-by-app basis. Is there one?I know of PrefEdit, but that is only for .plist (preference) files, and leaves out cache files:
I need, well desperately want; one that does both.Yeah I could use AppZapper, but I would prefer something that is designed for this specific purpose. Anyone?
MacBook Pro :: Is "ProductMetadata.plist" An Apple Authorized Download
Apr 26, 2012Is "ProductMetadata.plist" an apple authorized download? Trying to figure out if Flash Player pop up is Flashback malware....so doing search through system.This is in Mac HD, Library, Updates. And has stuff like...
<"string>VOICEID:com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.joana.premium;VERSION:1.0.13;L OCALE:pt_PT;NAME:Joana;NAMEROOT:Joana;GENDER:VoiceGenderFemale;DEMOTEXT:Olá, chamo-me Joana e dou voz ao português falado em Portugal.;SYNTHID:1919902066;NUMID:386</string>" ..in it.
I thought I got infected via the web last night and am looking for anything that came in "yesterday". This could be for voice command options but an ounce of pprevention is worth... Also in reading this forum about the Flashback Malware, if you see "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.app" in your HD Utilities Folder, is it a good idea to delete it and go to the website itself for updates?
