File "rpdeluxe.properties" in Home Folder

Hi,
I have just noticed a file called "rpdeluxe.properties" in my home folder. When I open it I see the following info:

  • How do I share files NOT in my home folder with windows?

    I want to share my second hard drive with my windows computer, but I can not seem to find how to do so. Is there a way?
    thanks.

    To be able to read and write to both you'll need to partition in OS X and do one partition as HFS+ and one as DOS - the Mac will be able to see both partitions but the Windows box will only see the DOS one. You could format the whole drive as DOS as this should also work.
    Unfortunately Windows computers can't read HFS volumes so it won't be able to see the rest of your drive.

  • Time machine no longer backs up changes to files in home folder.

    My Time Machine seems to be in some sort of weird state where it has stopped backing up any files/folders in my home (~/) folder or below.
    This is obviously a big issue since those are the files most needing to be backed up.
    It does catch changes to the /Applications folder, the /Developer folder, and the /usr folder, for some examples.
    A typical backup where it misses a lot of changes in my home folder is as follows:
    Starting standard backup Backing up to: /Volumes/My Backup Disk/Backups.backupdb No pre-backup thinning needed: 1.22 GB requested (including padding), 253.01 GB available Copied 20 files (157 bytes) from volume . Starting post-backup thinning Deleted backup /Volumes/My Backup Disk/Backups.backupdb/My Computer Name /2009-09-11-185523: 253.01 GB now available Deleted backup /Volumes/My Backup Disk/Backups.backupdb/My Computer Name /2009-09-07-124935: 253.05 GB now available Deleted backup /Volumes/My Backup Disk/Backups.backupdb/My Computer Name /2009-10-03-205432: 253.05 GB now available Deleted backup /Volumes/My Backup Disk/Backups.backupdb/My Computer Name /2009-10-03-205215: 253.05 GB now available Deleted backup /Volumes/My Backup Disk/Backups.backupdb/My Computer Name /2009-10-03-204044: 253.05 GB now available Post-back up thinning complete: 5 expired backups removed Backup completed successfully.
    And looking at it in TimeTracker it just shows a lot of 0 byte backups, with the occasional backup with only changes to the above-mentioned folders visible.
    How can I reset Time Machine and get it back on track?
    I'd like to preserve the current backups on it if possible.

    Are you running File Vault?
    Besides your TM disk, what's shown in the +Do not back up+ box in TM Preferences > Options?
    If nothing there would prevent your home folder from being backed-up, try a "full reset" per #A4 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.

  • File system chaos; how to backup and restore one's home folder??

    My young son managed to drag the desktop icon from the hard disk to the trash. I dragged the desktop out of the trash but the file system on the hard disk seems to be whacked: iphoto, itunes were unable to find their libraries (I solved this though), and other apps seem to suffer the same problem as well. I'm guessing my best option is to reformat the disc and reinstall OS 10.4.7 but I want to make sure that I get all documents, files, etc. from my home folder. Can I simply drag that folder to an external drive, perform the reformat/reinstall and then drag the home folder from the external drive back? What is the best way to proceed?

    There are some article by Apple on Disk Utility, and you do not want to always use the Install Disk to repair your drive if the version is earlier. You'd be better off with fsck in single user mode.
    You can repair permissions from any boot drive running Tiger, as it looks in the /Receipts regardless (unlike 10.2 which had a messed up method).
    As for finding all the files to backup - I would use Disk Utility Restore, then backup the whole volume to a blank partition on your FW drive. And while at it, setup an emergency boot volume for OS X that you can use for repairs in the future.
    And maybe create separate accounts, then backup those accounts, and limit what others can or cannot do.

  • JavaPlugin2_NPAPI alias file in home folder ?? What for

    Does anyone know why this file is in the home folder. It is a black arrow alias file. I right click to show original and nothing happens.
    I think the original file is  gone, do you think I can safley delete the file.
    thanks

    In Yahoo Answers, someone posted that it could be a sign of some type of malicious software
    <sigh> someone's always eager to raise that specter, huh?
    WebCT is a common educational software tool used by numerous schools and colleges to run courses over an internet connection. Did you, by any chance, enrolled in any school classes around the time this file appeared?
    Of course, to some people, schools are malicious, but that doesn't mean to say this file is.

  • HT3275 How do I find/restore files from items in secure home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?

    How do I find/restore files from items in secure (File Vault) home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?  When I go into Time Machine, I see earlier dates but can't see files in my User File. I have File Vault turned on and see my home folder as a sparsebundle.  Do I neede to restore this in order to see files in my home folder.  When I click on it to restore it gives me an estimated time of over 2 hours.  Also tried to restore an Excel file I was working on when computer hung, so lost it without saving or naming it.  Does it exist anyplace and can I restore it?

    Thanks. I had pretty much figured out from other posts that I had better turn off File Vault for my home folder and use a disk utility sparse bundel for little information I wanted to secure. The information about File Vault 2 in Lion was new and useful though.

  • How do I move my home folder to secondary drive in ML?

    Hello,
    I've tried a bunch of methods I found by searching but they all appear to only be for Lion. It was basically moving the folder while logged in from another admin account, and repointing to the new location from System Preferences. Everytime I try, I log back into a new profile. The reason to do this is because I installed a SSD and replaced the optical drive with the original hard drive in a 2012 15" MBP. I'd like to keep my home folder on the secondary (original) HDD.
    Thanks

    Use backup software such as Carbon Copy Cloner 3.5.2 to copy the /Home/ folder to your secondary drive. Do not yet delete anything from your primary drive. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your account entry in the list and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
    Click on the Choose button to the right of the field labeled, "Home dir:". Navigate in the File browser to your /Home/ folder on the secondary drive. Select the Home folder itself then click on the Open button. You must Restart immediately. After restart you will boot from the primary disk but be using the Home folder located on the secondary disk.
    Once you know it is working you can remove the contents of the folders in the /Home/ folder on the primary drive. Do not remove the folders themselves. DO NOT remove anything from the /Home/Library folder. This is in case you must switch back to using the Home folder on the primary drive.

  • DW 8.0 OS 10.4.6 Network Home Folder unable to save

    We have clients running 10.4.6 and MM DW8.0. The users have
    home folders on windows servers running Extremezip. The clients
    connect to ad using the Active Directory plugin in directory access
    and mount the home folders using AFP.
    When creating a site, the error message appear when trying to
    build the site cache.. "Unable to write to cahce file
    "Students1:Test:username:Library:Application
    Support:Macromedia:Dreamweaver 8:Configuration:SiteCache:Test.dws"
    I have checked this folder, and the user has read/write
    access to that folder. The file(s) and folder(s) are created
    though.
    When I then try to save a HTML file in the users home folder,
    I receive the following error "Access to
    Students1:Test:username:Documents:web site:test.html" was denied...
    Again, the user does have read/write access to these folders, but
    the files are NOT created.
    Redirection of the users cache folders where taking place,
    but caused issues with final cut pro and several adobe applicatons
    as well as microsoft applications. This folder redirection has been
    disabled and all ~/Library/Caches data is stored on the users home
    folder.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I don't know if this is relevant but myself and some other users have been experiencing a problem since 10.5.5 where machines randomly kernel panic or freeze at logout.
    Our issues are related to the SMB protocol in an Active Directory environment.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8341273#8341273
    Also for those experiencing high CPU load related to AFP there is a long thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8298601#8298601
    I finally resolved my high AFP load issues (8 Xeons maxing out) but i'm not entirely sure which tweak fixed it, I think it might have been a setting on the XServe RAID, disabling "Allow Host Cache Flushing".
    Hope this helps.

  • I was trying to change my home folder nickname to a different name I then restarted my computer and now all my stuff are gone. What can I do to get them back

    I was trying to rename my home folder I then restart my computer and now all my stuff are gone. Can anyone help?

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path, and move the files to your current home folder. Alternatively, open the Accounts or Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock it, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change the path to the home folder.

  • About to fit SSD to take OS & Apps - can I locate my Home folder on another drive?

    Hi community.
    I am shortly to fit a new SSD (probably 240GB) in the primary bay of my MacBook Pro (17", 2.66GHz i7, mid 2010, model MacBookPro6'1). I'm going to retain the existing 500GB drive and mount it in the optical drive bay for data. I will be installing Mountain Lion as the OS on the SSD to begin with (I may upgrade to Mavericks). I will then be running Boot Camp to partition the SSD (probably 120/120) and install Windows 7 (I am doing this to run Autodesk Revit for a course).
    My current drive has some 150GB of space used, 107GB of that in the Users folder. What I want to do is locate all of that data on the drive that will be in the optical drive bay. I assume that's feasible enough? Any reason I shouldn't do it? Any other wisdom to offer?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can and should.
    How to use an SSD with your HDD
    If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
    After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
    Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
    You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
    When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
    Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

  • Mail Won't Launch - Message Says Home Folder is Full Must Delete Files

    I having been using Mail 2.0.7 with relatively few annoyances until today when I launched the application only to have a window pop up that says "Mail cannot update your mailboxes because your home directory is full. You must free up space in your home folder before using Mail. Delete unneeded documents or move documents to another volume." The only option is to Quit. The 30GB hard drive is half full. The home folder has a little over 6GB in it. I deleted a few larger files and still get this message. I re-installed the application using Pacifist. Still the same prohibition.

  • I created a new home folder on an external but didn't move my old files over. Now I can't see the old hard drive in my mac mini. How can I locate that drive?

    I wanted to move my home folder to an external drive. I created a new home folder and in advanced options I moved it over. I didn't however move my files over first, my bad. Now I can't see the hard drive on my mac mini. Is it possible to reverse it or get access to the old home folder and is it possible to still use the mac mini's internal hard drive for storage? How do I find my shared folder, it was on the internal drive. I'm new to macs as you might have guessed at this debockle. Can anyone help?

    I'm using Mavricks. I wanted to move my home directory to an external and went into sys prop/users/advanced options and moved the folder ok. Being a noobie on Macs I didn't copy my data and such. So my settings were all new. Basicly now I don't see the internal drive on my mini. There is a lot of strage I'm not able to access. The internal drive doesn't show up. How can I put a folder back onto it so it shows up?

  • HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

    I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
    In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow?  In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
    Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

  • Mysterious file in home folder

    This may not be a problem, but it would be good to make sure. There is a strange file in my home folder called "Opera 7 preferences.new". Does anyone know what the function of a file with that extension ".new" is? I'd appreciate any feedback, thank you.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.5)  

    Hi,
    I did a quick search on Google, and it seems that it might be related to installing software, like perhaps the Flash Player 8. Opera is a browser, and it seems that some software companies are licensing it for their online help systems...
