Bridge's tmp files on every disk?

Hi,
how can I prevent Brdige from writing douzens of tmp files on every disk?
If I connect my Backup-USB-HDD, Bridge writes about 20 tmp files directly on it.
I don't want this. I want Bridge to store its tmp files if it needs them on one definded location (and this should never be the root of any disk).
What registry entry do I have to set? What options to switch?
Thanks
Konrad

The settings are:
in edit/preferences/cache:
C:\Users\Konrad\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS5\Cache\
and in edit/camera raw preferences:
C:\Users\Konrad\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRAW\Cache\
But I find the .tmp-Files also under
E:\
F:\
and on USB-Disks

ITunes 10.5.2 is writing a lot of temp.tmp files and using up many gigabytes of disk space! It seems as if it is completely out of control!

iTunes 10.5.2 on my macbook pro is writing a lot of temp(number).tmp files to my iTunes folder and not erasing them later! As a result it quickly uses up many gigabytes of hard disk space. It uses up 8 to 10 gigabytes in just a few days. I have been using iTunes since its inception, and only had this occur in the past few weeks. My iTunes library is large with 3187 albums, and is 425 GB in size. My iTunes library is located on remote hard disk and accessed from my wifi network. I have had such a setup for many years without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Usually, that indicates that something is interfering with read/writes to the iTunes library files. Do you have security software (or realtime backup utilities) installed that might be scanning the locations on the computer where the iTunes library files are stored?

Why does Flashplayer for Firefox create 1000's of FAP####.tmp files and never cleans then up?

Version Info
FlashPlayer Plugin version: 11.9.900.117 (and many version before)
Firefox version                   : 24.0 (and many versions before)
Windows Version               : Windows 7-SP1
Directory of Files               : C:\Windows\Temp
Details
I noticed this started all of a sudden over the last year or so, when my virus scans started taking longer and longer and more and more files were being scanned even though no windows updates were done to the computer and regular windows cleanups (Administrative tools->Free Up disk space app) were performed. Before that it was fine.
It doesn't happen right away. It happens after many web browsing sessions (may take several hours to reproduce) of opening and closing the Firefox web browser and browsing a lot of Flash based websites. Once it starts every single website that contains a flash player object cause the files to occur (In other words, it's fine for a while and then all of a sudden it starts, even if you restart Firefox).
There is 1 file for every flashplayer object on the page (example: 2 flashplayer items cause 2 FAP####.tmp files to be generated). The only way to stop this (temporarily) is to reboot the computer (I only reboot about once a week and use hibernate during the week).
I had over 3500 of the randomly numbered files in the windows temp dir and the windows cleanup doesn't recognize these files as candidates to remove (I guess because they are application specific files). So I have to keep a Windows Explorer session open in Win Temp dir to periodically remove the files.
I did google this and found this has been going on here and there for a few years. There were various discussions about uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the flashplayer and then people claim it didn't work and started again after some period of time.
I also found a website that said this was caused by some protected mode the flash player is running now. They gave instructions on how to turn off the protected mode, but I've been hesitant to do this, due to some of the protections that were described and was afraid I'd be leaving myself open to viruses or other attack.
Why is the flashplayer generating these files?
Why isn't flashplayer cleaning up after iteself and forcing me to clean up thousands of files manually?
why doesn't Adobe manage this properly once and for all, considering how long it's been going on?
I would appreciate any thoughts on this issue.
Thanks.

Can you post back here a screenshot from this issue?

Why does writing iTunes library tmp files bring my system to a standstill?

For the last couple months, i have noticed that i periodically get completely balky periods with my mac (stats below) -- eventually i traced them to the times when iTunes is writing temp files (which is pretty much constantly, even if nothing is actually playing or changing in iTunes), which are apparently limited to a .5 to 1.5 MB/sec write speed. Since my library file is over 245MB (and the corresponding XML library 235MB) this means it takes several minutes to cycle through this behavior. While the tmp file write is in progress, the entire rest of the system goes into a veritable work stoppage. Actions do eventually happen, but only after a bunch of beach-ball spinning and cursing.
Any ideas? I've been asking about this for a while and nobody seems to have come up with anything useful yet.
Much thanks in advance. I have a lot of software i don't want to have to reinstall, so something that would skirt that would be preferable to a complete tear-down and rebuild. That isn't even a guarantee of fixing things if this is in fact a hardware problem (which i don't have any real reason to suspect, and would like to rule out in advance, if possible).

The file in question "Temp File.tmp" is written to the /Music/iTunes folder, on my startup drive, in my home folder, every time iTunes thinks it needs to update the disk copy of the library. It first rebuilds the "iTunes Library" file, swaps the temp in for that, and does the same for the XML.
No USB is involved in this transaction, unless it somehow going out and re-checking every single entry in my library against the actual file on the external drive, before writing to disk.
There does not seem to be any indication of corresponding disk read activity while it is writing. Just the write, very slow, that blocks all other aspects of my system for performing normally.....
WRT the 25GB free, i have the same problem even when i have over 60GB free on the internal drive. It doesn't seem to be caused by lack of free space. Something is restricting (throttling?) disk write speed. I have noticed one or two other programs exhibit similar behavior (in particular, the Transmission bittorrent client has a big slowdown when it is first creating the new, blank files, to be copied into by the subsequent torrenting).
Hope that clarifies things...

.tmp Files Frustrations! ;)

Hi all,
I'm currently building a library using an extranal HD with all my itunes stuff on.
Every time I play a song (more or less) a .tmp file is added at 10.83 MB. These don't auto delete when I close iTunes either...
It kind of seems to relate to when I am also looking at other folders (not itunes) within the usb drive at a similar time to changing tracks within itunes...
Can anyone advise?
Seems like an itunes / Lion bug, but then again I'm new to Lion and also to using iTunes as a library...
Thanks,
Lex

You lost me.
The screendump shows the .tmp files on a seperate hdd.
I also have them on another RAID0 drive.
Bridge is very unstable on my machine it craches very easily.
Could it be because of the crach its unable to remove the files?

Bridge CC collection files

Does anyone know where to find the system-files relative to Bridge Collections in Bridge CC?
In Bridge CS6 the files were located at:
/User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS6/Collections/

I understand that I'm unfortunate enough to be the one and only to suffer this single-click plague ?
Don't know if you are the only one but at the most one of very few I'm afraid…
Do a check and repair permissions with Apple Disk Utility and double check your mouse and track path settings in the system preferences (there is a setting that lets you double click with one single finger tick).
And you can always combine the reset of prefs with the delete of plist file for Bridge in User library preferences (by default hidden, use menu go with option to reveal this library). Maybe you have to try a bit more often with reset prefs, sometimes 3 or 4 go's can do a miracle.

How do i change the access rights for every file in every sub-folder?

I have an external drive that was shared between my PC and my iMac (running Snow Leopard 10.6.5).
Some of the files created by my PC have the following access rights (privileges):
Me: Custom
staff: Custom
everyone: Custom
I want every file to have the following access rights (privileges):
Me: Read & Write
staff: Read & Write
everyone: Read & Write
I presume that I need to go into the terminal and run some command line program, but I have no idea what program or what options (or even where to look for such a program). Can someone tell me how to do this, so that every file in every sub-folder has the same access rights?

Well, that's different. Most people do not install anything on their PC to read an HFS+ disk, so I assumed it was formatted for the PC. [See my above post|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12843313#12843313].
Note that it is the same as what you asked about, except with numbers instead of the letter equivalents.
Posix permissions are for User;Group;Other (ugo) and each one can have read/write/execute permissions. Read = 4, Write = 2, and Execute = 1. So, for rwx you set 421=7.
I try to make it safe by not typing in the file path. If you do what you posted, you will change the startup volume's permissions. The path to your external is /Volumes/ext hd mount point. If you start typing the path and accidentally hit return before finishing the full path, you could fubar something you didn't want to. So, I type the command, leave a space, and then drag the target to the Terminal window.
You might also consider the GUI based permission changing program, [BatChmod|http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/BatchMod/Welcome.html].

Tmp file missing from root

Hello,
I need to create a bootable backup of my hard drive, but my cloning solftware says it can't because a required system file (tmp) does not exist at the root of the source volume. I don't remember intentionally removing it. Is there a way to reinstall it where it belongs.
Thanks in advance,
josearturo

First, use Disk Utility to repair permissions. If the "real" /private/tmp/ folder is missing this will replace it. Next recreate the symbolic link in the root:
If your /tmp file is suddenly missing, various action such as starting Classic, printing, software update, file sharing, and burnings discs will not function. To fix this, open up the Terminal and type:
sudo ln -s /private/tmp /tmp
Hit return, enter your admin password, and hit return again.

1000'S OF iT.TMP FILES IN ItUNES DIRECTORY! ???

Re: iTunes 7.6.1 & 7.6.2.. Windows XP, SP3
Aloha,
After having spent months adding my CD collection to iTunes--over 41 GB worth-- I discovered in the \My Documents\My Music\iTunes folder, right below the iTunes library files were 1000's of IT.tmp files totaling over 7 GB! I only saw this because I was sitting at my computer when it did a backup one night instead of leaving it alone.
I talked with iTunes Tech by phone..they hadn't a clue and just said to delete them, which I did. But iTunes is still doing it and does not delete them when the program closes!
Has anyone else had the same experience? Does anyone know why iTunes is doing this and...maybe...have a fix?
Thanks and Mahalo for your resposnes.

Aloha Katrina,
Ah Ha ! I must be slow late at night! The .tmp files are the iTunes Music Library.xml as it gets bigger!
I moved the .dll file for Uplayme into a backup folder, then launched iTunes and imported two cds..actually three..Sun Kil Moon's "April" has a short bonus disk. I only got two iT.tmp files, instead of one per track...a great improvement! I'll have to try it again when Ihave a bunch of new ones -- after my next Honolulu business trip. I may try fully uninstalling Uplayme and see what happens then, because it doesn't happen, as I said, on my other laptop with only iConcert Cal as a plugin.
I had thought the Uplayme plugin would be fun because it suppossedly links you to others who share your like sin Music but..alas..I just don't have the time for that sort of thing!
Thanks for your help,
DRDRJAY ( Jay )

ITunes .tmp files -- Over 8.5 Gb of them

I've got over 8.5 Gb .tmp files in my My Music/iTunes folder. This is comprised of over 175 .tmp files. It doesn't appear that most of these files have been accessed anytime recently. My music files are stored on another (internal hard drive), not within My Docs.
Needless to say, this seems to be a pretty big waste of HD space. Which, if any of these files can I delete and how will it impact iTunes? Is there anyway to keep these files from being created over and over again?

Yates, are the .tmp files showing up on the same level in your itunes folder as your itunes library .itl and .xml files?
if so, that's usually associated with security software interfering with itunes writes to your library files:
What are the iTunes Library files?
(it's actually more common on a Mac than on Windows PCs, but i've seen it reported every now and then on Windows PCs dating back to the itunes 4.9 days.)
what makes and models of antivirus and/or antispyware packages are you running? by any chance, is it nod32?
(i don't have a good feel for which packages are more likely to cause this, but we had an example of this show up in itunes 6.0.5.20 that turned out to be associated with nod32.)

Error in *.tmp file how to find the real source

-- FM 8, structured --
So ... cautiously (but enthusiastically) exploring the delights of DITA, I've taken an existing unstructured book and exploded the content into DITA topics in an XLM editor; even, made a ditamap to hold all the topics together in the right order and at the right level.
No protest from the editor, which validates on the fly; but when I run the FrameMaker utility to generate a .book from the .ditamap, I get the fairly readable messages that follow:
XML Parser Messages (Document instance)
Error at file c:\docume~1\grundt~1.bru\locals~1\Temp\FMT3C9.tmp, line 2312, char 191, Message: The value for attribute 'id' must be names or name tokens.
Error at line 2312, char 191, Message: The value for attribute 'id' must be names or name tokens.
My question: looks as though there's an id somewhere in my 112 dita files that FM isn't happy with. Is there an easy way to find out which file is causing the problem?
Thanks in advance if you can save me from scrutinising (at most) 112 files and looking et every id =8-}
N

ymmd, but with a modicum of ingenuity I got there!
1. start utility to generate .book from .ditamap
2. observe error in XML Parser log and leave log open
3. track down and open the .tmp file
4. read guilty line in .tmp file
And voilà - I hadn't paid enough attention to the editor's discreet warning, and there was a section without an id. I corrected the dita file, ran the utility again and generated a .book without any errors.

If you move files to external disk in PSE 7, are those files backed up when you Backup Catalog

My catalog is now about 50 GB and I want to decrease its size so that it takes less space on my hard disk and, more importantly, so my backups and restores don't take so long. These are files that will not be edited in the future so why keep backing them up? If I move files offline to an external disk using File, Copy/Move Files to Removable Disk will Elements backup those files as well as the files on my C Drive when I backup my catalog?
Alternatively,can I move files to a new catalog along with the assciated catalog data (such as albums, tags, etc.)?
Thanks for any help.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
If you use incremental backups, how often should you do a full backup?
No hard-and-fast rule. The more incrementals there are, the longer it could take to do a restore. I suggest starting out doing a full backup every 10 incrementals.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I also backup my backups to a 2nd external drive. Can I use PSE to do that 2nd backup (including the incremental backups) or do I need to copy the backup folders created the first time to a 2nd external disk using Win Explorer?
I think using Windows Explorer to copy them to the 2nd external drive will be easier and faster.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I assume when moving to the new computer I just plug in the external drive containing the backup from the old computer (including incremental backup folders) and go through a normal restore.
Right.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
When I do a full backup, does PSE include the picture files stored on an external drive?
Yes.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
When I restore that backup to a new computer, does PSE restore the files which were on an external drive on the old computer to an external drive on the new computer, or would I have to move them from the new computer to an external drive again?
I think that if you select the Original Location restore option, it will restore them to the external drive, but I haven't tried that. You could make a small test catalog with a few photos and try it.

.tmp files in my itunes subdirectory

I have several (over 200!) iT.xxx.tmp files in my iTunes repertory. Apparently they were created the same day. They are quite large and take loads of disk space. Does someone know why they were generated? Can I get rid of them without pain? Is there something to do about them?

The temp file in the iTunes directory can be deleted.
You tend to get them when iTunes doesn't close properly and also associated with certain virus checkers and plug ins.
If you have NOD32 try excluding iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml from virus checking, they are in the iTunes folder.
The problem has also been associated with Qloud and iscrobler. DO you use Facebook or lastfm?
There is now an iTunes safe mmode which loads iTunes without plug-ins, that might help you see if it is a plug in problem.
Open iTunes in "safe mode" (without external plug-ins) Control-Shift (while opening iTunes)

TMP files created inside business objects installation folder

Hi All,
I noticed TMP files are being inside of business objects folder and it is taking up entire disk space.What is causing this and what can be done to avoid this?
Thanks.

there was a service market place note that says do NOT delete this data.

Stop creation of TMP files

Lately, when I work in Dreamweaver it seems to be generating some sort of temporary files in the root folder. A new file is created every 15 minutes or so independently of what I'm doing, each with and a random name and a TMP extension, like so - MFC2D43.tmp
They build up quickly, so every once in a while I have to stop what I'm doing and delete them manually. It's very disruptive. Please help.

It's already deselected. And as I have mentioned before, the files are created independently of what I do (saving, previewing, etc.).
Now that I think about it, it doesn't happen on my other machine. The only difference between the two is that this one also has Contribute. Could that be the problem? I found this when searching for TMP files - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7f31a .html
