What is this file for

in my home directory thera are a lot of file which are called .serverauth.xxx like .serverauth.5549,.serverauth.5317 etc.
what are their aims? if i delete them, it occurs any problem?

Hmmm...I've been annoyed by them for a while now (months perhaps?), but always just assumed it was normal behavior. I knew they were X-related and I always just deleted them before running <code>startx</code>, but perhaps it would be a good thing for a bug report.

I get notifications of changes for radiowmpcoregecko7.dll. It is indicated that it is from Firefox. What is this file for and why does it keep changing.

About once a week to two weeks I receive notification through my anti-virus that this file has been changed. It appears to be part of Firefox. What is it and what does it do?
Thank you.

Fixed: Slow Snow Leopard. What was this file for?

Hi,
I just bought a new iMac on Monday. It's supposed to be the newest and best technology... blah blah blah blah blah.
Anyhow, it worked great for a few days, and then last night it began slowing down to the point where nothing was functional. A simple reboot helped very little, and I became very frustrated.
I ended up finding some guys blog about Macs, and he deleted this file to fix his Snow Leopard problems:
System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist
Having no other choice but to wait for an update from Apple, I deleted the same file. I rebooted my computer, and it was like magic. The computer is faster then ever, and very enjoyable to use. So, my question is: what is the world is that for for? It used like 1.40-1.80 GB of RAM...
Thanks for the help!

Core audio is the software side of digital audio on your computer. That plist is the destructible file related to settings. If you get rid of it, the system builds a fresh one.
no, it doesn't. none of the items in /system/library/launchdaemons are automatically rebuilt on deletion. if you delete something from there it's gone for good. these are necessary system daemons and deleting them can make system inoperable or cripple it. I'm not quite sure what this one does. googling indicates that it is responsible for a number of audio functions like system sounds and keeping volume settings on restarts. I've seen a number of posts recommending deleting it as a possible workaround for some slowdown issues but I would not do that with this or any other system launch daemon. as is aid, this may cripple some system functions and the file will not be recreated by the system if you want it back. if you want to disable it as a troubleshooting step you can do it without deleting the file. run the following terminal command
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist
this will make the daemon inactive without deleting the file. and it will remain inactive even on restarts. if you want to activate it change unload to load in the above command.

F-4 Key on Windows 8.0 what is this function for?

I accidentally pushed F-4 Key by itself, and my screen was wider and something pop up on the right side of my screen that had 4 choices of ??? My question is what is this function for?? And after I push it again it went back to normal. I would also like to know what the other functions are for on top row F-1 to F-12 and yes I am a new user to this laptop from HP. I know there is also windows + keys commands and I am interested in knowing more about what goes on with my pc. F-3 has a icon that looks like a light, and yes I have a lot to learn, Thanks in advance for anyone who wishes to give me help on these matters.

Hi,
On the top of F4 key, you should see a screen symbol and normally (w/o preesing F4) this will output to an external monitor. For Fn+F4, please read the following article:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00294488
What is your machine ? Depeinding on the model/product of your machine, some keys my line up a bit difference but you can see symbol on each key and work this out. For example F2 and F3 are for brightness, F5 for backlit keyboard (not all machines). F6 to F11 for sound/video and F12 for wireless. On your machine, some keys may be swapping around but basically they all have one symbol each.
Regards.

no you should transcode those files into an format that os suitable for editing. Like proRez. Although you might need some Flip4Mac or perian or something to do the conversion.

How can I erase or edit "Category" section in a song? And what is this section for?

How can I erase or edit "Category" section in a song? And what is this section for?

At least in my case (OS 10.7.5, iTunes 11.0.2) you can hide this (if I understand you correctly) by going to the iTunes menu bar, clicking View, then View Options. From the drop down menu make sure that Category (under Other) isn't selected. You'd have to do this for every playlist where you don't want "category" to appear.

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.
