HT2493 What does it mean for the icon of a new folder to have a red X next to it?

I just created a new folder, and added files into it. It seems to be fine, so I can't see any reason for there to be a red x on the left edge of the icon. Thanks for any help.

red x on the left edge of the icon.
Folder or icon?  If icon which one? 
Can you post a screen shot? 
Which Snow Leopard version are you using?

  • What does "played" mean for podcasts and tv shows?

    What does "played" mean for podcasts and tv shows, in terms of the settings menu where you say to synch only "unplayed" shows? Does it mean you started playing it, or that it has played all the way through?
    And how does this relate to the "dots" next to podcasts in the menu? These dots seem to go away when you start listening, but do not finish, a podcast. Is this the same as "played"?
    Thanks!

    You are probably seeing a USB cable under the iTunes icon. This means the Apple TV is having problems and needs to be connected to iTunes to be Restored. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367

  • What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?

    What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?
    When adding a new contact, the number shows up as "radio" instead of "mobile" or "home" and I have to change it every time. What does "radio" mean and why is it the default? can that be changed?

    Radio is a type of phone service offered by certain carriers.  Sprint for instance offers their Sprint Direct Connect Phones (a.k.a Nextel) which have built in Radios.  Short Wave or CB radio type features. Also referred to as Push to Talk services.

    Think a walkie talkie in your Phone.
    I get the Radio option when using Hotmail contacts as the default Contact creator. If I change it to iCloud or Gmail I no longer get the Radio option in the labels.
    If you are using a service such as Hotmail/Outlook.com for your contacts the radio option may be present.
    You can change which service is the default service to create new contacts with by going to Settings->Mail Contacts & Calendars->Contacts->Default Account
    The Radio label is just an identifier for those types of Phones so you know its a number for a radio phone.

  • What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

    What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

    The other section contains temporary files, such as text messages, iMessages, voicemail, and other storage that is meant for small short term use.  If the other section of your phone has grown quite large and you can't account for what it could be then you may have experienced a syncing error to iTunes.
    I have experienced this problem frequently during my years with the iPhone.  The other portion of my phone grows with every sync of my phone to iTunes.  There comes a point where it takes up the majority of the space on my iPhone, making the device near unusable.
    When it grows to this extent is usually cased by an error during the syncing process.  Any information iTunes can't reconcile during the syncing process is saved out of sight, out of mind, in the 'other' section.
    You will never be able to see or recover this section unless you are very savvy and know how to poke around the archived iPhone back-up on your computer.  (if you are thinking of trying, stop.  It will not be worth your time and effort, or if using third party software, the money or spyware associated with it *cough* iTools *cough*).
    The only fix I have found that works is to back up your phone to iTunes, and preform a 'restore'.  This erases the content of your phone, and restores it to factory settings.
    That is you phone will be as if you took it fresh out of the box.  You can preform a restore from back-up through iTune, or iCloud to get your content back.
    Lo and behold your have trimmed the mystery meat.

  • I just purchased FormsCentral but according to your site it is going to be closed on June 22. What does this mean for what I paid? Do you have an alternative program to use? Do I receive my money back?

    I just purchased FormsCentral but according to your site it is going to be closed on June 22. What does this mean for what I paid? Do you have an alternative program to use? Do I receive my money back?

    Kim,
    When you say you just purchased Formscentral exactly what do you mean? Formscentral has not been sold as a stand alone product in a while due to the decision to close the service. If you got Formscentral as part of a Acrobat subscription then you need to know that that part of the subscription will go away partially in June and fully in July. If you have indeed managed to purchase Formscentral standalone recently can you please give me the information about your purchase such as the date of purchase and link to the site from which you purchased. Refunds are available to customers who are not able to use the service though their contract period.

  • What does "wheel" mean for custom access

    What does "wheel" mean when allowing custom access to a folder?

    wheel= admin
    In computing, the term wheel refers to a user account with a wheel bit, a system setting that provides additional special system privileges that empower a user to execute restricted commands that ordinary user accounts cannot access. The term is derived from the slang term big wheel, referring to a person with great power or influence. It was first used in this context with regard to the TENEX operating system, later distributed under the name TOPS-20 in the 1960s and early 1970s.
    The term was adopted by Unix users in the 1980s, due to the movement of operating system developers and users from TENEX/TOPS-20 to Unix. Modern Unix implementations generally include a security protocol that requires a user be a member of the wheel user privileges group in order to gain superuser access to a machine by using the su command.
