What's this folder?

I ran across this odd folder in my User > Library > Preferences directory. It's called StageManager.BD092818F67280F4B42B04877600987F0111B  594.1. It contains a single sub-folder called Local Store. There is nothing in the sub-folder.
Doing a little searching, I don't really find much about it beyond some indication that it might be associated with Adobe apps, but I also find a lot of Windows users implying that it's associated with some malware/rootkit/virus/plague of locusts/etc. So, it's all pretty inconclusive. I've not noticed this folder before, and haven't installed any new software recently, so I have no clue where it came from or when it first appeared.
Anyone else have this folder in their Preferences? Anyone with a good guess as to what it's for?

    AppAndDeviceInventory.log right next to it.
    and the following inside the folder.
    Folder = "IMG" lots of little image files of all my software
    Folder = "Resources" with nothing in it.
    Files:

    I am not attempting to install windows 8? at all so why this is coming up is beyond me I am using Win7 64 Pro and am quite happy with that version.
    Is all of this just some attempt at someone to install windows 8 on my system through the comcast internet system?
    I also have now searched for the file that was next to the folder: "AppAndDeviceInventory.log" and got this:
    http://www.exclusive-networks.be/Vendors/mobileiron/
    It looks like someone is or has installed an application to make my windows send data over the internet or network. Making my entire windows system hosed with this. Or has someone any idea of how to get rid of it?
    Thanks ahead!

  • Switching from PC, what is this folder?

    I am in the process of switching from a PC to my Macbook Pro so I'm not too familiar with the folders on the laptop. I have a folder on the root of the Macintosh HD called 775. It has nothing in it and I don't remember seeing it before. If I try to drag it to the trash I am asked for the admin password, like when you install software. Anyone know what on earth this is? TIA!

    npudenz,
    It is perfectly normal that you are being asked for your password. In fact, this is one very good example of why you don't need to worry about security so much in OS X. Any modification of certain directories requires that you have admin authorization.
    However, having "lockups" is definitely not normal, and could be an indication of disk errors. I recommend that you use Disk Utility to check the health of your startup volume. If you don't know how, just ask.
    Here's another reason why you switched: Any behavior that requires you to perform a "forced shut-down" is a good indication that something is wrong. Applications can always be prone to crashing or freezing, but these behaviors do not affect any other apps or OS X. If OS X itself (or the Finder) is freezing or crashing, something is wrong.

  • What is this folder and what does it want with me?

    I just installed QuickTime 7.5.5 and after the install I found a new folder in the HD folder at root level, called "Developer". It contains a number of items. I took a screen shot of the folder and its contents, but I can't figure out how to display it here.....
    Is it maybe supposed to be an Invisible folder? Or one that was to be cleaned up by the Installer?

    Dave Sawyer said: The folder, sans installing the developer tools, contains some Java utilities.
    Nope... Don't see no Java stuff. Several nested folders (folder inside Developer is called "Extras") some with images, some with .nib files I have a screen shot and if you can tell me how to get it into my next reply I will show you what I have.
    I have no use for useless stuff, so if the stuff is useless I want to trash it, if not useless I want to use it.

  • What is this folder ?

    I have all my projects and events on a second internal drive on my Mac Pro. Nothing should be in the movie folder except the Motion templates I think. But every time I start project and quit. I can see three folder in movie folder on my system drive: Final Cut Events not in use and another folder Final Cut Events and inside that folder there is another folder with the name Effects Browser Thumbnails with lot of other folders which includes files with names such as Frame 0 - 1023. If I delete those folder they appears again and again. Could someone explain this to me. (seems impossible to upload screen shot)
    Thank you
    Innocentius

    Hmmm . . .
    This is my movies folder.
    I assume the Events folder is there because I occasionally launch FCP X with my Hard Drives offline.

  • User Template : what is this folder ?

    I've noticed a new folder called "user template" with a no access sign on it in the system folder. What is it ? Can it slow the system down ? Should I trash it ?

    Don't touch anything in the System folder unless you are sure about what you are doing. That folder contains the initial home folder contents (in various languages) used when creating new user accounts, so changing its contents would make new accounts start with different folders and files in their home folders. It is only used when creating new accounts, so is not slowing the system.

  • What is this folder .trashes?

    On my MAC, there are, just recently, a number of folders, all preceded with a ".", such as .trashes when I open Finder. Before I do anything like trying to delete these, I am just wondering what they are and where they came from. Can I clean all of these up?
    I see these same kinds of "directories" on my USB flash drive all of the time when working between my MAC and my Windows laptop. However, I have a little utility program that runs and wipes all of those "directories" clean when the USB flash drive is inserted into the laptop, called USB Drive Fresher 1.0

    These are hidden files. Any file with proceeded with a "." = hidden file. Do not delete these files.
    Change the finder view back to default, using terminal. See the article below. Replace "True" with "False" in the given terminal command.

  • [SOLVED] What is this isus folder?

    Hi.  A folder named isus just suddenly appeared in my home folder.  It contains one file called update.ini.
    What is this folder and where did it come from?  Maybe I put it there, but I don't remember.
    I tried googling it, but I just get a whole buncha stuff about ASUS.

    Wow.  I do indeed have Maple 11 on my system. So that must be it.  It must've been there for quite a while and I just never noticed it before.
    Thanks a bunch.

  • Question about this folder ....

    What is this folder ? C:\Users\**\Pictures\Wallpapers\iPod Photo Cache
    Is folder contains all the pictures I ever took with my iphone (even deleted ones) ?
    Also how can I view files that end with *.ithmb ?
    Thanks

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    When transferring photos from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, the photos are optimized for viewing on your iPhone, which is what the iPod Photo Cache stores. If you delete the iPad Photo Cache for a folder of photos that has been selected to be transferred to your iPhone and the folder remains selected, the photos will be optimized again and another iPod Photo Cache will be created.

  • What is ordpas folder?

    Hi
    I have installed Weblogic server 10.3.3.0 some time ago and recently I have noticed that the ordpas folder located in user_projects/domains/base_domain/ has occupied about 39GB and contains a lot of files with names similar to ord1000005035290061389pas. What does this folder do? Is this an important folder or just a temp folder? What are the side effects if I empty this folder?
    Regards,
    Ferez

    Hi John
    Yes, it seems that you are right and it is a temp folder because I made it empty and nothing happened and everything seems OK.
    Thank you very much.

  • I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

    I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

    I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
    The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
    You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
    Select the folder Music > iTunes  in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill  pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes.

    I am trying to clean up my iMac hard drive and find a lot of space in a folder named 'Deleted Users'...what is this and can I delete it to save space?

    If a user account is deleted and the data for that account is not deleted, it is placed there. Yes, you can delete the files there.
