After OS X reboot - temp file in Trash

Please bear with me if this has been asked before concerning Dreamweaver CS4 (I saw an older post relevant to Dreamweaver CS3, but there was no real resolution).
Situation:
I purchased, downloaded and installed Dreamweaver CS4 onto my Mac Pro (early 2008) desktop running OS X (10.5.8). The installation, registration and loading of Dreamweaver was successful and proceeded as expected. I then rebooted my machine and noticed that the Trash was not empty as it had been prior to reboot. I checked the trash and found a 'Recovered Files' folder containing a file named '_xx41a7.TMP' inside. I placed this file on the Desktop and double-clicked it which resulted in Dreamweaver loading to a blank document workspace.
Note - it is my understanding that OS X moves temp files that were not deleted when a program either crashes or does not quit properly.
Attempted procedures:
In order to troubleshoot my thought that Dreamweaver was the program in question, I performed a clean install of OS X (including updating it to 10.5.8 and installing all updates via Software Update). I then installed just Dreamweaver > launched and then quit Dreamweaver > rebooted. This resulted in the same named file being placed in the Trash about 2 seconds after reaching the Desktop.
I tried a third test where I restored to the most recent Time Machine backup prior to performing the original Dreamweaver install and then installed Dreamweaver along with the additional software options during the install process in case a component was needed for the temp file to be handled correctly. Unfortunately, the result was the same with the '_xx41a7.TMP' file being placed in the Trash after reboot.
System Specs:
Mac Pro desktop (early 2008)
OS X (10.5.8) with all updates
Current installed software:
Photoshop CS4
Illustrator CS4
Bridge CS4
Exchange CS4
Office 2008 (Home and Student)
iLife '09
iWork '09
Aperture 2
Painter X.1
SketchBook Pro
TechTool Deluxe (AppleCare provided)
Stuff It Expander 2009
World Book 2009
I was hoping that there is a setting in preferences or elsewhere that can be set to prevent the constant need to delete this file each time I boot the machine if Dreamweaver has been loaded (this does not happen if Dreamweaver is not loaded prior to reboot).
Note - I am new to Dreamweaver, but old to Photoshop and Illustrator.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Randy,
Thanks for the reply and I apologize for not responding sooner.
I did in fact close down all programs before shutdown or reboot (have been for quite a few years now). I also performed a search for said file using the basic searchlight function in OS X, but I have not gone to the trouble of running a terminal command to show all files in finder and I suspect this particular file is normally hidden.
I also looked under 'Preferences/Preview in Browser' and saw that the 'Use temporary files..' was already deselected by default. I tried enabling the option by placing a check mark and then relaunching Dreamweaver and then closing the program, but after reboot the same result with the temp file in Trash. I then tried disabling the option and relaunching Dreamweaver and then closing, but again after reboot the same.
Of note: I have upon three occasions had an empty 'Entourage' folder in the 'Trash/Recovered Files' folder as well. These were times when I had launched Entourage prior to launching Dreamweaver and then closing both before rebooting. Entourage never displayed this behaviour prior to installing Dreamweaver CS4. Not sure what to make of it.
I have yet to hear back from Adobe Support where I placed a case three days ago via the Adobe Support page.
Obviously not a huge deal, but it would seem that this particular piece of software either has a bug or has uncovered a bug in OS X or Office 2008. I tend to lean towards it being Dreamweaver as all my other software never displayed this type of behavior from the first day each was originally installed (all about as old as the original release dates and all patched with the latest updates available).
Does anyone have an idea what function the '_xx41a7.TMP' file serves? It is always the same name, so I am thinking it serves a specific purpose for Dreamweaver.
One other item that may or may not be relevant. I ran a test where I left the temp file in the trash and rebooted and then relaunched Dreamweaver, which resulted in Dreamweaver taking at least 30 seconds to fully load (the application frame loaded in the usual 1 - 2 seconds, but the content of all toolbars, panels and welcome screen took the 30 seconds or more to load). I ran the test a second time and the time improved slightly, but still around 25 seconds total.
After the above testing, I deleted the files (Recovered Files & Recovered Files #1 - both of which had a copy of the same '_xx41a7.TMP' file). This returned the launch time to the usual 5 -7 seconds to load program including welcome screen content.
BTW - I mistakenly listed 'Exchange CS4' in the software list in opening post, which should be 'Extension Manager CS4' (just for accuracy).

    This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
    Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
    Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,

  • Recovered files in trash after sleeping

    Upgraded to Tiger 10.4.11 from Panther about 4 weeks ago using Erase & Install, then restoring apps, files, etc. with Migration Assistant from a clone. Flawless & painless--whew! However, I'm now having one minor but annoying issue--after playing Burning Monkey Solitaire, quitting, logging out & putting Mac to sleep, find recovered files in trash on next log in, specifically a couple of BMS text files. The Freeverse support folks are still working with me on this issue (suggesting doing a Secure Empty Trash, which didn't prevent the files from returning). I'm posting here, however, because today there was also an iPhoto folder (empty) in the Recovered files folder in the Trash. Any ideas on why this may be happening and how to stop it? I've used iPhoto since the OS upgrade without this occurring and, so far at least, no other apps (Word, Excel, other games, etc.) have been leaving orphan files on quit/sleep/logout that wind up recovered in the trash.
    As I said, it's a minor annoyance, but hope it's not a symptom of something more serious. Thanks!

    Thanks, but that's not quite what's happening here . . . first, neither Burning Monkey nor iPhoto unexpectedly quit--always were quit normally. Second, recovered files folder shows up after sleeping, not just after restarting.

    Dbconsole doesn't work proper without temp files. So you should create temp file for temporary tablespace in some other tool.

  • Error with Oracle temp file after Offline restore

    Hi,
    I did a offline backup of my Oracle 9I database after shutting down the DB. After I restore the offline file system backup, I saw the following error in alter.log:
    "ORA-01186: file 255 failed verification tests
    ORA-01122: database file 255 failed verification check
    ORA-01110: data file 255: '/oracle/SED/sapdata1/temp_1/temp.data1'
    ORA-01205: not a data file - type number in header is 0
    File 255 not verified due to error ORA-01122"
    When I did a query I got the following error :
    "SQL> select * from dba_temp_files;
    select * from dba_temp_files
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01187: cannot read from file 255 because it failed verification tests
    ORA-01110: data file 255: '/oracle/SED/sapdata1/temp_1/temp.data1'
    I know how to recover it but Why is this so ? Is this normal when I restore the offline backup file including the temp.data1 ?
    Any reply is appreciated.
    Rgds,

    Because you did something wrong.
    This is just one more brilliant laser beam example of why RMAN is the only tool that should be used for backup and recovery once you are on 9i or higher versions.

  • Mysterious "recovered files" in trash after start up

    So everytime I start up, there are these unknown files in my trash (maybe like 5 or 6 files). I think they were under the heading of "windows." I delete them, and then the next time I start up they are back. Has anyone heard of this happening?
    thanks
    Spence

    Spence,
    It's nothing to worry about. Instead of using daily, weekly and periodic commands in Panther to clear unwanted temp files Tiger does it for you through a launchdaemon at start up. Since it's designed to run each time you restart it's recommended you restart your PB every couple of days instead of just putting to sleep. I have noticed however that merely logging off then on also works.

  • Unable to extend TEMP segment even after adding fresh temp files

    Hi All,
    I have a huge table with rows nearly 2 million. When this table is moved to another tablespace, the command failed giving the following error:
    ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace XYZ
    To overcome this error, an additional temp file was added with huge size. Unfortunately, the same error appeared again when the table was tried to move to another tablespace. I wonder if the new temp file was not recognized by database, so tried to see how many files belong to temporary tablespace, but the query listed the newly added temp file also.
    What could be the possible reason for this error? Suggestions or clues are most welcome.
    Thanks,
    ...

    The temp segment is for the table that is being moved.
    Oracle creates a temporary segment when doing a move. If the target tablespace has enough space, the move succeeds and the temp segment gets converted to a Table segment. Else, if the move fails because of lack of space (the temp segment itself unable to grow), then the temp segment is dropped on failure.
    Thus, in a
    alter table ABC move tablespace MY_TBS;or
    the target tablespace MY_TBS should have enough space for ABC. While Oracle is building the copy of ABC in MY_TBS, it is being built as a temporary segment. If the copy succeeds, the temporary segment is renamed as a Table segment 'ABC' and the original table segment 'ABC' is dropped.
    This behaviour also happens when you do an ALTER TABLE .. MOVE ; into the same tablespace that it is existing in. The new copy of the table is a temporary sgement till the copy succeeds.

  • Preview is STILL frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. Help?!? I need to see my files!

    Not sure what I did, but Preview continues to stay frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. It seems like it is trying to open all 720 pdf documents I have on my internal memory. That's my best guess... I really don't know what happened. I've tried clicking the 'close windows when closing application' option under general settings and every other thing I've seen listed on help sites... nothing is working. PLEASE HELP?!?

    Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
    Containers/com.apple.Preview
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist

  • HT1926 Why the iTunes download doesn't start in windows 7 after deleting temp file etc

    I have followed the instructions for deleting the temp files and still when I click the download button nothing happens. I am very new to this Windows 7 so most likely I am the reason for this failure but its driving me crazy! How do I get iTunes to work?

    Adobe staff has to browse these forums on their own time (I know that should be part of their job) so their visits are infrequent.
    There are several sites to report bugs which seems to be counterproductive.   I think this one has the most support right now. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    And you are sure you are not running Bridge CS5 in the background?  You can only run one Bridge program at any one time.
    In both the Mac and Win OS seems like the workaround to create a new user works frequently, but it is a hassle.  In your problem solving did you unistall everything then run the Adobe Script Cleaner? 
    Although this is a stretch for this problem, but might search your uninstall directroy and see if there are any expired Adobe trials you have not uninstalled.  For whatever reason it can stop launch of Bridge "as you need to launch parent application at least once".  Apparently even though it is long gone it is still seeing it as "parent" program.  As I said it is kind of a stretch here, but you never know.
    Good luck on this as I know it is extrememly frustrating and Adobe does have its communication problems. 
    That is why it is important for the users to step up and start contributing to these forums with suggestions on what to try, thiings they have tried and worked or did not, etc. 

  • After generating a .mov, iMovie does not delete the temp files

    When generating a .mov iMovie creates a temp file indicated by a greyed-out icon. It is my understanding that iMovie should delete this temp file when the movie is finally generated. I've been working on a stack of movies lately and I noticed that my available space on the HD was dissappearing at an alarmingly high rate. What is happening for me is that the icon does dissappear, but the file itself remains. I know this 'cuz when I revealed the hidden files I found 1.8 Tb of hidden files sitting on my desktop, each the temp file of a movie I recently generated.
    Any idea what's happening here? When I ran iMovie 6 (?) I didn't see this issue. I'm now on iMovie 11.
    Thanks,
      James

    This seems to have been a problem for a while. My Aperture library is >500GB and I can't store it on the internal drive of my new retina MBP. If I hadn't moved to referenced files already I would have had to do it now.
    When you point iMovie to the drive with the referenced folders you seem to have to use the 'import' option and cannot index the movies in folders lower than the one chosen. I can tolerate the inconvenience of iMovie not being able to use the index of referenced movie files. It's an extra bind that iMovie itself can't index a drive or hierarchy of folders to produce a pick list of video footage.
    One thing I might try is creating a new Aperture library on an external drive and putting all my video files in that. Keeping that as a managed library, I can perhaps take advantage of the Aperture-iMovie link.

  • TA27400 iTunes: Multiple temp files after iTunes Match subscription

    Since I subscribed the iTunes Match service I have a very annoying issue: a lot of temp files on my iTunes folder.
    My library is pretty big (24989 songs) and my temp file iTunes Music Library.xml is 42mb.
    Well, I never counted how many but I think that in one week I have to delete more than 100 temp files, all located in the iTunes folder and with the same size of the iTunes Music Library.xml (42mb).
    That's really annoying and give me also another problem with Native Instrument Traktor, sometimes the program can't recognize the Itunes Library file.
    That's really bad for a professional DJ.
    Another problem, the HD was corrupted, two times in 2 weeks, never happened before.
    It seems that iTunes Match service still have some problems or maybe is just my setup?
    I'm confused and worried.

    I see one temp file (named Temp File.tmp) in my iTunes folder (where the iTunes Music Library.xml file is located).  It is about one-third the size of the iTunes Music Library.xml file (pretty small).  Never noticed it there before.  Also, in my case at least, I don't think it has anything to do with iTunes Match, because it has a modified date of 12/30/2011.
    > Another problem, the HD was corrupted, two times in 2 weeks, never happened before.
    That's not because of iTunes Match...  Back up data, reformat drive, restore data.  If it happens again soon, the hard drive is probably starting to fail (bad sectors).

  • How do I get rid of random "AI Temp" files that appear on my desktop?

    I am accumulating random AI Temp files on my desktop which do not open and cannot be removed. Where are they coming from and why can't I get rid of them? I would would appreciate any suggestions as to how to eliminate this nuisance.

    I really don't know what causes the problem. I have had it myself occasionally when saving to a server, but in that case the temp files could always be trashed and deleted.
    You can try this though, it might work:
    Quit Illie and trash the temp files. Empty trash. See what happens after you have restarted Illie and used her for a bit.
    If the problem persists, do the same again and reboot your machine.
    If this still doesn't do the trick, quit Illie and trash your Illustrator Preferences (the whole folder and its contents).
    Restart Illie and see if things have mended themselves.
    You never know your luck :-)
