"AddressBook-v22.abcddb.incompatible" files keep appearing in Trash.

NOTE: I am using an AFP mounted network home from an OS X Server. This is very important to keep in mind. If you don't have actual experience with this environment, please don't answer. Thanks!
* AddressBook-v22.abcddb.incompatible files keep appearing in ~/.Trash
* I have already rebuilt the database, rebooted, logged in/out.
* I have already removed the files, purged the Address Book database, and re-synced from MobileMe.
* The files continue to appear.
This ONLY occurs on the 10.6.x machines. It does NOT happen on 10.5.
Has anybody else seen this and been able to resolve it in a network home environment? Thanks!

Hi,
I’m using a 10.6 Server with OD network accounts. I had the same files appear when a user was logging in on a client running 10.5 (PPC Mac) and the next time on a 10.6 client. Sometimes when this happened the user’s address book was completely empty and had to be restored from backup. The problem went away when we started to only use 10.6 clients. Of course this meant to replace all the PPC Macs with Intels...

  • Strange looking file keeps appearing in Trash -

    Over the past two days I keep finding a file called "␀␀␀õ␀␀.␀␀" in the Trash and if I do a Get Info on it it usually disappears. The next time I open the Trash it re-appears however.
    If I empty the Trash without listing the contents first, it will again disappear but then the next time I open the Trash it re-appears again. This is really frustrating because the Trash always seems to have stuff that needs to be deleted.
    I've used Terminal to look at the .Trash folder in my profile and done a ls -la to see all files including hidden files and there's nothing showing in the folder listing. However this **** file in he Finder keeps appearing.
    I've also done a verify and repair of disk permissions and done a verify disk in Disk Utility. No problems were listed with either check.
    Any ideas as to get rid of it?
    Regards,
    Jason

    If you do an "ls on .Trash" you won't find it. If you do a "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash", it's still there...
    That's because it is, in fact, not there. It's on another volume. Are you running windows?

  • Unable to delete AddressBook-v22.abcddb

    I want to remove the existing addressbook and create a fresh empty addressbook.
    Under users/username/library/application support/addressbook is a file called AddressBook-v22.abcddb.  I no longer want to use that file but unable to delete it.
    Please can you advise?

    You should quit address book first. Then move the file to the desktop first. From the desktop you should be able to delete it from there.
    Also, deleting that file won't delete the contacts. They reside in the metadata folder. That file you want to delete is just the database file. Also, if you are using iCloud, the information will actually lie within the Sources folder.
    Why go through all that. Just select all contacts in the address book at once and hit delete. Then you can create new ones.

  • Library files keep appearing on the Desktop!!!!

    Hello
    For some weird reason the iTunes Library (Damaged),iTunes Library (Damaged) Extras, itunes music & Album Artwork keeps appearing in my desktop :/ I deleted them but whenever I open itunes they appear again!! I went to preference >> advance and chose the original path for the folders and still it doesn't change.. (User>Music>itunes>itunes music)
    I re-install itunes and nothing change, please I need help I'm desperate..
    another Q why it's titled "iTunes Library (Damaged)" and how can I fix it?!
    Thank you

    Double check to see that the ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file or the folder it resides in (the ‘iTunes’ folder) is not read-only.
    First, see this Article for some background information: What are the iTunes Library files?
    Using Windows Explorer, right-click on the file (or folder) name, go to Properties.
    If it is read-only, then close iTunes, change it, and reopen iTunes.
    Now (going forwards), any changes you make to the Library should be retained (i.e. – rebuilding).
    For Vista users, How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista may offer some help. Give yourself ownership and full control of the main iTunes folder and all its subfolders.
    If you are running a Sony Vaio PC, then This Thread may offer some insight.
    Best of Luck

  • .DS_Store file keeps appearing on desktop

    As subject suggests, I'm not sure what I did to make this happen but I can even drag to trash and within a few seconds another .DS_Store pops up in its place.  Any thought on what's causing this or how to stop it?

    Copy the following line
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO; killall Finder
    Open Terminal, from /Applications/Utilities & paste it in, then press Enter
    Finder should relaunch, & hopefully you'll see no more of those files.

  • Bizarre alias file keeps reappearing in Trash Can...

    For the past few weeks, I've had an unknown little file popping up in my Trash Can every time I open up or start up my MacBook Pro.
    The name of the file is "␀␀␀õ␀␀.õ␀" (yes, that's exactly what it looks like), it is exactly zero KB in size, is an alias file, and was modified December 31, 1903 at 8pm. It's frustrating because emptying and securely emptying the trash doesn't get rid of it. However, if I try to move it or Get Info about it, it then disappears only to reappear again when I open up the laptop later.
    I have verified, repaired and then re-verified disk permissions (which corrected some issues with Airport-related files) and I have verified the disk itself (which turned out to be OK, thank God). I also enlisted the help of a brilliant IT friend of mine who had me do some kind of "sudo" command in Terminal where I drag and drop the file into Terminal to get rid of it, but that didn't work (possibly because I may have inserted the file in the middle of the line of code my friend had me enter, and I can't remember exactly what the line of code was so I can't retry it at the moment).
    Since disk permissions and the disk itself appear to be functioning normally I'm not as worried about this little glitch, but at the same time I would much prefer that this gremlin would begone from my system. Please advise! Thanks kindly.

    It's just really odd to me that it would occur in the Mac partition of the drive, since it's an issue with the Windows partition.
    Haven't gotten around to checking it yet, I'll let you know how it goes.

  • Iphoto file error keeps appearing

    An error message ( see screen grab) keeps appearing whenever I start iPhoto even though I may not be importing photos or have a SD card connected. What is causing this and how can I rectify.
    Thanks
    PAB

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Auto Import' and remove the contents
    Restart iPhoto and try again..
    Make no other changes.

  • Photos keep appearing the wrong way round in slideshow!

    Photos which I imported from my old macbook (running 10.4) onto my new imac (10.5.8) keep appearing the wrong way round or stretched out when I play them as part of a slideshow even though in the library they appear fine. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
    Thanks

    Yes the plist file is important, but next time you start iPhoto it will create a brand new one.
    This file records various user settings - like the background colour, for instance. If you trash it then when iPhoto re-creates it it simply returns things to the factory default settings.
    Trashing the plist file is troubleshooting 101.
    Also don't understand what you mean by "If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again"
    By default, your iPhoto Library lives in your Pictures Folder. That's where iPhoto looks for it. If you've moved the Library - and I'm guessing you haven't - then you need to tell iphoto where you moved it to. Why? Because that's a setting recorded in the plist file.
    Regards
