General Info
[Q] Where does info.xhead store my data?
[A] Info stores your data in the file called info.dat in the directory ~/Library/Application Support/xhead/info.xhead
[Q] If I lose my main password, can you help me log back in?
[A] No. If you could, that would be a huge security hole. For the main password, you should use a secure
password that you will remember.

[A] You can sync your data with your iPod, however you cannot store it securely

choose File / Revert to database backup to restore from a backup on local disk.

[A] If you do not have a .mac account, choose File / Backup database to disk and this will create a backup of your data in the directory of your choice.
[Q] What is the info QuickPick used for?
[A] The info.xhead Backup Quickpick allows you to automatically backup the info.xhead database so you don't have to worry about doing it manually. It's free to download and use. You can use it, or you can just backup your database manually by choosing backup from the File menu.
If you want to use the Quickpick, follow the instructions below.
The QuickPick is used by Apple's Backup application. If you have Backup installed, start it and do the following:
1) Add a New Plan (you can name it "info.xhead Backup")
2) Choose Custom
3) Click "+" under Backup Items
4) Select info.xhead under QuickPicks
5) Click Done
6) Select a destination where you'd like to back it up
With the QuickPick, you'll be able to backup the info.xhead database and preferences to whereever you'd like at scheduled intervals (every day, week, month, etc.) automatically.
Syncing My Data Between Multiple Computers
[Q] How do I sync my info data between two Macs like an iMac and a MacBook?
[A] If you have a .mac account, you can choose File / Backup database to .mac on the
one of the computers and on the other choose File / Restore database from .mac. If you
do not have a .mac account, you will have to backup the info database to disk and copy the file to the second machine and restore the backup by choosing File / Revert database from backup and pick your backup.
