"TDB database version 6" files in / what are they?

I've noticed 2 files in my / directory
-rw------- 1 root admin 8192 3 Dec 21:18 8c4fd358-0d17-e8df-8261-5c6d81d639c0-dinfo-w90pIK

which have appeared there recently. File says that these are "TBD" files:
file /8c4fd358-0d17-e8df-8261-5c6d81d639c0-*
/8c4fd358-0d17-e8df-8261-5c6d81d639c0-dinfo-w90pIK: TDB database version 6, little-endian hash size 131 bytes
/8c4fd358-0d17-e8df-8261-5c6d81d639c0-icnt-4l2pZ0: TDB database version 6, little-endian hash size 131 bytes
Any suggestions what these are?

  • .itc files.  What are they?

    Can someone tell me what the .itc files are that are stored in the Album Artwork Cache folder on the hard disk in the iTunes folder? I came across some while I was doing a search, thought they were something else and started to delete them. Now I have a bunch of them sitting in my trash and I'm not sure if I should permanently delete them or not. At the same time, I can't figure out which ones go in which folders if I were to try and put them back to their original location. If I delete them, will they be automatically generated again? Are they necessary for something? What are they?

    They are definitely downloaded pic files. I say pic files, because instead of album artwork, they are actually small picture files of classical music composers pulled from various sites on the web.
    I used "album artwork" in a loose sense inasmuch that you could put a photo of your dog into iTunes and call it album artwork.
    Anyway, I guess my next question is what to do now?
    Uh, I am disinclined to experiment with my iTunes, if you don't mind, so I'm not sure.
    Does the artwork still show up in iTunes because I haven't emptied the trash yet?
    I suspect those files need to be in specific locations in order to be seen.
    Since you downloaded these yourself vs. fetched with iTunes it may be they are embedded in the files and not just present in the artwork folders. I download artwork and then paste it onto my mp3s which means the artwork is actually in the file in addition to whatever file itunes may make based upon the folder. I also notice that if I have a mp3 from the same album but have not embedded artwork in the mp3 it still displays art for that album. I think iTunes is displaying this art using the itc it generated from the album that does have artwork. So it may not matter that you have deleted the itc file if the artwork is embedded in the file or there is another album file with the artwork.
    Is there a way to know where to replace them if I just pulled them out of the trash? That is what I can't figure out based on the names of the files. There doesn't seem to be any corresponding data in the file name as it would relate to the folder that it came from.
    iTunes works in mysterious ways its wonders to perform. I suspect you might be able to replace the files if you were to go into the itunes library files and browse through the entries trying to associate all the code identities from the various listings. Not my idea of fun.

  • OC4J creating StatelessSessionBeanWrapper files.  What are they?

    When I start OC4J, it creates a bunch of StatelessSessionBeanWrapper.java and .class files in the directory I start OC4J in. The files arn't even in the OC4J directory.
    What are these files?
    Is there a way I can make them go to their OC4J directory?
    thanks,
    Isaac

    Hi,
    We have the stateless sessionbean exposed as webservices
    Once the server is restarted, we are getting a ClassCastException
    java.lang.ClassCastException: IShoppingDiscounts_StatelessSessionBeanWrapper7
    We have to redeploy our ejb application, to get rid of the ClassCastException.
    After redeploying the service everything works fine.Any clue on avoiding this situation.
    Thanks

  • Mail database error and unknown folders - what are they?

    Hi - Forgive an elementary question: I administer a small office network, but am NOT an IT expert!
    We've been running OS X 10.5. server for quite some time and are now on 10.5.8 with client workstations all running 10.6.1. We've had a problem with a corrupt cyrus database reporting (amongst other things):-
    "DBERROR db4: Database environment corrupt; the wrong log files may have been removed or incompatible database files imported from another environment"
    This is well covered elsewhere, but despite downloading and running mailbfr I have not been able to get rid of the problem. However, my question is this: whilst rooting around the mail database I have found the following folders:
    var/spool/imap/^-^_-+^_-+^_-^-obscure
    var/spool/imap/^_-bingey
    var/spool/imap/^_-delegating
    var/spool/imap/^_-moustache
    var/spool/imap/^_-obscure
    var/spool/imap/^_-plebes
    var/spool/imap/^_-reinserting
    Each of these folders has a cyrus.cache, cyrus.header and cyrus.index file inside. I can find no relevant search results when I check these folder names out with an internet search, so I'm wondering whether these folders should even be there? Have they been installed covertly, and if so can I remove them without further damaging our database?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Can adobe patch files be deleted what are they whay do they take up so much space

    Can adobe patch files be deleted? What are they and why does it take up so much space?

    sweetboo5
    If you are using Premiere Elements 9 Mac, then the next thing to do is to get details on what you mean by "patch files".
    There are no "patch files" as you describe. There is a Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update that needs to be used with the program. That you install and do not uninstall for best performance of the product.
    What I am wondering is this. Do you mean by patch files and the description that you give Scratch Files?
    If so, then you are looking at preview files and conformed audio and video files.
    I am strictly an Elements Windows person so you will have to help me translate my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Windows instructions into meaningful ones for you as it relates to file location.
    Under Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk, where do you have Video Previews and Audio Previews directed. At that location, you should be able to delete these files. They are automatically generated when you render Timeline content. The consequence of deletion is that you will need to render again content in the project from which they came (if that project still exists). Go to the location shown and delete.
    Then look to see where the Media Cache is directed. Those are conformed audio and video files (cfa and pek). They can be deleted and will be regenerated by the program if and when needed. Go to the location shown and delete.
    Then look to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and the Media Cache Database. That is targeting conformed video files (.mcdb file extension). They can be deleted and will be regenerated by the program if and when needed. You can click on the Clean button there to get rid of them instead of following the path to them as shown in the Media Cache Database area.
    Do not delete any source media that went into projects after they were saved closed.
    Please review the above and do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
    If none of the above applies to your question, then please more details.
    Thanks.

  • I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them?

    I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them without causing a problem?

    Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
    http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
    (The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
    Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

  • Today, I randomly happened to have less than 1GB of hard drive space left. I found very large "frame" files, what are they?

    I found very large "frame" files, what are they & can I delete them? (See screenshot). I'm a (17 today)-year-old film-maker and can't edit in FCP X anymore because I "don't have enough space". Every time I try to delete one, another identical file creates itself...
    If that can help: I just upgraded to FCP 10.0.4 and every time I launch it it asks to convert my current projects (I know it would do it at least once) and I accept, but everytime I have to get it done AGAIN. My computer is slower than ever and I have a deadline this friday
    I also just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4, and the problem hasn't been here for long, so it may be linked...
    Please help me!
    Alex

    The first thing you should do is to back up your personal data. It is possible that your hard drive is failing. If you are using Time Machine, that part is already done.
    Then, I think it would be easiest to reformat the drive and restore. If you ARE using Time Machine, you can start up from your Leopard installation disc. At the first Installer screen, go up to the menu bar, and from the Utilities menu, first select to run Disk Utility. Completely erase the internal drive using the Erase tab; make sure you have the internal DRIVE (not the volume) selected in the sidebar, and make sure you are NOT erasing your Time Machine drive by mistake. After erasing, quit Disk Utility, and select the command to restore from backup from the same Utilities menu. Using that Time Machine volume restore utility, you can restore it to a time and date immediately before you went on vacation, when things were working.
    If you are not using Time Machine, you can erase and reinstall the OS (after you have backed up your personal data). After restarting from the new installation and installing all the updates using Software Update, you can restore your personal data from the backup you just made.

  • Service/Database Accounts - NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER & NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT - what are they for?

    Hi Guys,
    I’ve done a fair amount of research for this question but just cannot seem to find the answer to my question in simple, non-DBA, terms.
    Server 2008 R2
    SQL 2008 R2
    There are 2 users in the system database logins (NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER, NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT) … what are they for? It appears that they
    are accounts to run the corresponding Windows services but yet they cannot be selected from the list of available built-in accounts, local accounts or domain accounts.
    Also, I am using a couple of domain user accounts to run the services, do I need to add them to the database? I changed the service accounts from NETWORK
    SERVICE to the domain user accounts using the SQL Configuration Manger which is supposed to take care of managing the user group membership and registry changes but the domain accounts are not in the database …. The services appear to be running fine.
    Thanks

    In basic terms:
    As you say, in the SQL Server Database Engine there are two logins;
    NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER and NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. The Database Engine runs in Windows as a Windows service named
    MSSQLSERVER. The NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER login is used by the service to connect to the Database Engine. Basically, this is how it connects to itself. The SQL Server Agent runs as a Windows service named
    NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. The NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT
    login is how the Windows process that is SQL Server Agent connects to the Database Engine to read the
    msdb database to find out what it should do; and then do it. Both of these logins are members of the
    sysadmin fixed server role, so they can do anything in the Database Engine. And they need to stay that way.
    No, they can't be selected in the list of available built-in accounts, local accounts or domain accounts. This is because they are services, not accounts. They have a security identifier (SID) in Windows,
    but Windows knows they aren't real users. Windows can authenticate them, but they don't have passwords that any human can use. If you run
    lusrmgr.msc and look at the groups, you will see groups like
    SQLServerMSSQLUser$computername$MSSQLSERVER and NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER
    is a member of the group.
    As for the account that you used to run the services, this is complicated and has changed from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 and now again in SQL Server Code Named 'Denali'. The short answer is that
    the account you specify will be used when a process tries to reach outside of the current Windows environment. But within the computer, there is a mix of authorization granted to the domain user, the service, and the Windows group
    SQLServerMSSQLUser$computername$MSSQLSERVER.
    The good news is that SQL Server Configuration Manager figures out all the stuff you need when you change the accounts. If you are a glutton for punishment, you can get an idea for how complicated this
    is by looking at the Denali documentation where I have tried to provide more specific information. (Note this is not the same as SQL Server 2008.) You can see it at:

    Gary Krouse
    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
    File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.

  • Message: Database Version 9.x and above are supported

    Hi,
    I am using SQL Developer version 1.2.0; as with the previous version I get the message "Database Version 9.x and above are supported" after I connected to a database; is it possible to turn off this message? It's getting a little bit annoying when I often connect to different databases and getting every time the same message dialog ;) I know the message already inside out...
    Thanks!

    Try upgrading to a supported version of the database.

  • Desktop null files - What are they?

    I have recently starting getting a file in my home folder repeatly.  The file name is
    Desktop-1.(null)
    and the next one will be the same, but 2, 3, etc.  What are they?  I throw them out and later more get created.
    Thanks
    I'm on OS X 10.8.2

    I've had them too. They are PDF files that I downloaded from the internet (and perhaps they failed or something?). Anyway, check it out: change their extension from .(null) to .pdf and you'll be able to read them and decide what to do with them.

  • "recovered"files. what are they?

    I have 25,000 photos in a library. Also there are thousands of photos in a folder called "Recovered Folder" of which they show as ALBUMS. I have checked many of them, and they seem to be duplicates of the photos in PROJECTS.  I have tried to find out what they are, and why they are present, but only find a relationship to Vaults, which I do not use.
    a)what are they and where did they come from?
    b) can I get rid f them withut loosing any of my photos?
    Thank you
    Asuch

    a) A "recovered" folder is akind of "Lost & Found" place.  When you repair an Aperure library, upgrade it, or rebuild it, Aperture will place there any items found in the Aperture library, that are no longer tied to versions in your projects. 
    b) That is hard to tell, without seeing your library. Frequently these items are just items that should have been trashed, but the Trash did not empty properly. Then you can trash them. But sometimes versions are losing there connection to the originals, but you may not notice it immediately, until you try to edit the version or to export it. And then you will need the recovered item. The safest cause of action would be to create a backup copy of your library as it is now.   Then look at your recovered items and try to identify the original in its project, If you are sure, that you have a working copy of the recovered item, delete it.

  • Yosemite 10.10.2 server app. FTP help. I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac folder. It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?

    So I have set up a localhost area in my Mac. I have the new server.app and I am running yosemite 10.10.2 .
    I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac .
    It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?
    I am pretty certain that the Serveris "localhost",
    Name is my macs name (like my-mac-min)
    password is "my login password"
    and they suggest port 21.
    But what is the file path, lets just say my site is set up http://localhost/siteftp and is actually at my Users/Sites/siteftp folder.
    Why cant this program connect to the mac.
    Is it because they are both operating in the same localhost enviroment,
    could it be my folder permissions are not correct on siteftp folder?
    Help please !

    I tried turning the computer off and then back on. The alerts don't show the notice to update as resolved. Hopefully this is not a problem or an indicator or another problem. Should I ignore or reload 10.10.1 from the app store to trigger a resolved check in a green circle?
    Interesting that I had to buy server software after my free Yosemite download. I would have hoped that the two pieces of software would have gone together without any complication. It is not positive to end up buying a problem. Ah well, time to move on.

  • Thousands of strange images on  iPhoto what are they?

    I tried to down load my pics in iphoto into a file I could put on an external hard drive for back up. Now i have thousands of images some of which are called resources,water color text mat , uk.iprog ect. What are they & how do I make them go away?  I'm vexed and bewildered.

    It sounds like the hard drive was accidently dragged into the iPhoto window or onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock.  If you downloaded your pics into a new library try starting over with a new library and see if you can avoid those images.
