*. aud files....  Delete them... ?

I have few files ending with .aud in …./AUDIT/ folder.
Oracle 10g R2 on HPUX 64 bit.
What are these files? Can I delete them?
Thank you,
Smith

Yes, there is plenty of information of auditing, but the stuff you are seeing is part of system auditing, and not regular auditing.
As was noted, you may want to consult your management (or IT security) for policies deleting audit data.
The audit data you are seeing in the directory you noted is simply a lot of who logged in as sys or system at what time (unless you are auditing system operations).
Here something that might help.

    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.

  • Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

    I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
    Thanks, Rick

    The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full.  You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
    A -36 error is a read/write error.
    All you did with the power is reset the SMC.  Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings. 
    Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
    Is your data backed up?

    From the Finder menu select 'Secure Empty Trash'. If this or the suggestion above doesn't resolve the problem take a look at the various suggestions in this link:

  • How do I find the unused iMovie files so I can delete them?

    I'm using a MacBook, late 2008, running Lion & iMovie '11. 164 GB hard drive, 4 GB RAM.
    I imported a long movie (well, an hour & a half) into iMovie - at least, I TRIED to. It quit about 3/4 of the way through the import. I tried importing again, the last of the 2 tapes. Still quit at the same point. I started getting a "Startup Disk is almost full" message so I tried deleting every possible file I could delete (iTunes TV shows, pictures, etc.) Freeing up that much memory allowed me to import the last 1/4 of the 2nd tape once more.
    I got the movie finished with transitions, titles, etc. & tried to send it to iDVD. It quit after a couple of hours & said there was an error (no number given) and could not finish. I once again started getting that "Startup Disk is Almost Full" message. That's all I can get now. I lost the import of the last 1/4 of the tape, too.
    I tried moving the movie file (both the movie file & the iMovie Project folder) to an iMac, 2010, running Lion & iMovie '11 with a 1 TB hard drive & 8 GB RAM. However, the entire movie will not move. It once again leaves out that last 1/4. I cannot import directly from the camera because I just discovered the iMac uses Firewire 800 & I only have a 400 cable!
    I just want to find the hidden iMovie trash files from the MacBook, delete them, and re-export the video to iDVD. Where the heck are they?

    if you mean to go into the Aperture library in order to get image files to print with Canon's software it's not really possible. The best you would be able to do would be to get the master image and if you're shooting RAW that will be the RAW file. In any case no adjustments you made to the image in Aperture would be available, versions don't exist as files until you export them.
    If you want to print with the Canon software you would export the image from Aperture and then print that image file.
    If I've misunderstood your question post back,

  • How can I saved the ipad isms conversation in a iMac file to be able of deleting them from the ipad?

    how can I saved the ipad isms conversation in a iMac file to be able of deleting them from the ipad?

    Hi Aurea,
    One way of saving your sms conversations so that you can then delete them from your iPad would be to back up the contents of your iPad using either iTunes or iCloud. See these articles -

  • Can i keep files into my time capsule and delete them from my mac?

    i have to many files in my mac and i'm running out of space so i want to put the photos and music only on my time capsule and delete them from my mac, is that possible?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Of course you can do that, but it won't work if you are using the Time Capsule to make backups. In this case, I recommend to leave your Time Capsule as your backup drive and buy an external drive to put your photos and music on it.
    If you aren't using your Time Capsule for that, you can do it

  • I used to download illegal music files from limewire, I don't anymore though, and I've since deleted them all from my iPod and will never do it again, but could I get in trouble for what I did before?

    And how can I delete the illegal music files on iTunes that me and my brother used to download? Maybe I could delete or report the music files, I really love apple and I really don't want to do this illegal stuff anymore. It's really not fair to anyone and it's also wrong. (Something I somehow couldn't see when I first got my iPod back in 2009) I buy all my music from iTunes now on my iPod, and have since deleted all the data which includes all the songs from my iPod (for a while I didn't use my iPod for music, just games) I am now afraid to put the songs I purchased and downloaded on iTunes on my computer with all of the pirated music! Please help, I really just want to know overall if apple could hate me for this, and what I can do to delete all the songs from iTunes (like the ones me and my brother downloaded that he still uses, though I guess I can't control that.)
    Is it just me or was I never meant to feel like an honest user? (I really want to feel like I am)

    Firstly, where do I go to delete the songs from my hard drive? Can I delete them straight from iTunes?
    You can delete them right from iTunes:
    - Click on the song to highlight it (select it). Alternatively, you can Control-Click on a number of songs to select them.
    - Go to Edit in the Menu bar and choose Delete (alternatively, you can Right-Click on the song and choose Delete from the pop-up menu.
    - You'll be asked "Are you sure you want to remove the selected song from your iTunes library." Click Remove.
    - Next, you'll be asked " Do you want to move the selected song to the Recycle Bin, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder?" Click "Move to Recycle Bin"
    - Empty The Recycle Bin on your desktop.
    Can I delete all the illegal songs including the ones my brothers (Apparently more than one are doing this) downloaded? Would it be somehow against the rules to delete their songs even if they didn't pay for them?
    It's best to talk to your brothers before deleting their stuff. Tell them how uncomfortable you feel about having 'stolen property' in your shared iTunes Library.
    Could their downloading of these songs get me in trouble somehow? And lastly, should I still use iTunes on this computer if they're doing this?
    If this is your computer and the Music Distributers find out through your Internet Service Provder that you/your brothers are illegally downloading/sharing music then you can get in trouble.
    You can continue to use iTunes but I would really try to get this resolved with your brothers. Hope this helps and as I said earlier, you are doing the right thing by buying music legally!

  • HT201250 After Time Machine has backed up my files, can I delete my originals from my Mac and do something in Time Machine to ensure it will never automatically delete them from the backup in the future?

    I'm new to using Time Machine - I'm making my first backup right now - and I have a few concerns.
    So let's say my precious photos are taking up most of my Mac's hard drive space. I back them up with Time Machine on an external hard drive. After that, I want to delete my photos from my Mac because I want more space and my photos are now stored in the external hard drive. I have a few questions about that.
    First, does Time Machine's backup system follow the same concept as having extra storage (so would this be a reasonable decision to make)?
    Second, if it does, then could I access/open these photos from Time Machine's backup anytime I want?
    Third, would I need to use the restore backup function of Time Machine every time I want to open my photos are there alternative ways of accessing my photos, like through opening directory paths to the photos?
    Lastly, when the external hard drive becomes full and Time Machine wants to delete my oldest backup files, what can I do to ensure that these photos will never get deleted unless I manually do it? Like, is there a way to lock and secure these files? Or, is it like if these photos are the only copies saved in the backup, I can rest assure that Time Machine will never delete them?
    Thanks

    This is a common mistake and I highly advise against it.
    1: TimeMachine saves states of changes and thus requires more room on the TM drive than the boot drive it's backing up.
    2: Something happens to the TM drive, loss, theft, dropped, power surge, etc., you lose both backups.
    3: The storage drive might become a portable need, with it being on the TM drive, now your increasing the risk to the TM backup that something could happen to it along with the storage drive, due to increased movement.

  • If I back up files to an external HD w/ time machine and delete them off the MacBook, will the HD also delete them on next backup?

    I hooked up an external hard drive and my MacBook offered to run Time Machine to create a back-up.  Once the back-up is done, I'd like to delete some of the videos off of my actual MacBook but if I do that, will I be able to watch them on the external HD or will it delete them on the next backup?  Thank you for any help you can provide.  I am running a MacBook 13 inch with Mac OSX 10.5.8 if that helps.

    If you delete files backed up by TM, then eventually they will be deleted from the backup. TM is not a permanent storage alternative. For that you should purchase and connect a separate drive.

    I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

    Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
    A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

  • I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

  • I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

    I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

  • How Do I Quickly Find Music Files Not Used By iTunes So I Can Delete Them?

    Hello, I have deleted many songs from my Windows iTunes library; but, the music files remain on my hard drive and are taking up space.  I need to quickly and efficiently find these music files to delete them.  I would prefer to not have to download another utility to accomplish this.
    While I now have iTunes setup so that any future deletions will prompt me to move the music file to the recycle bin, I want to clean-up my hard drive.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    How did you Migrate? On original Startup, or after starting up and creating a user.
    If the latter, then you migrated data is in the migrated user's account.
    If that is the case, log into the other account and move the music into the /Users/Shared folder. Then, log into the account you want to use and import the music into iTunes.
    If that is not the case, please explain where your music is located.
