BTnetprotect auto deletes files and hides system f...

Is there any way to stop BTnetprotect from auto deleting files? I don't mind it asking first and letting me decide but do not want it to be an automated process. Also, BTnetprotect seems to regularly hide system files. I set the system files to show and a few days later, BTnetprotect resets them to hidden. Is there any setting to stop this?

BT Netprotect /McAfee can cause problems on some computers and it uses a lot of computer resources. My advise would be to uninstall it and install a free program such as Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG 2013 free or Avast free.
If you do want to uninstall BT Netprotect follow this link

Make sure you follow the guide and after a restart run the McAfee removal tool that is available within the above guide.

Deleting files out of system preferences desktop background.

Does anyone know how to delete files out of system preferences>desktop & screen saver?
Some how when adding one photo to the file for the desktop background it took the entire photo file. So that instead of one photo for the file it has over 200 now. Read everything and tried everything. Still can't figure out how to delete that file from the list.
I know how to add photos or whatever to use as desktop background just no idea how to remove them from the list.
Any ideas?

Doug,
When you go to system preferences>desktop & screen savers>desktop. On the left is a window with the names of the images listed. Apple Images, Nature file, Plants file, Picture Folder, Choose Folder and so forth. The ones that come with Apple products. Not sure what all else is native to Apple.
Iv been using my own desktop background since the day I got the iBook. Normally I just get one photo or image and more it there to use. But, last week I did something different or wrong. Maybe holding a button to long, not sure. Instead of moving the one photo it moved the entire photo file. That file had over 200 (2,500x1,800 in size & over 550KB for each) and probably closer to 250 photos in it.
Way to many to be there. And I simply can't find a way to remove that file from the desktop list. I can high light it, but it doesn't delete with the delete button. I can high light it, but it doesn't change anything in system preferences banner to edit, view, etc....to remove it either. It won't click & drag to trash.
Being very careful because I don't want to delete the file and by error delete it totally off the computer. I could creat a new file with only 1 photo in it for use as the desktop background. Then try to choose that file. However, since the last big OS-X update it's been doing this. Everytime I choose a file or photo it's adding the entire file not just the 1 photo. And Iv managed to add 3 files so far to that list.
Any ideas? Thx, Mike

What is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?

Hi everyone,
when v say v r working on scenario FILE to FILE? which format of file r v usually working on? and what is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?
thanx

Hi,
<i>when v say v r working on scenario FILE to FILE? which format of file r v usually working on?</i>
>>>Many a times it will be a Flat file with CSV format,Tab delimited format, fixedlength fields.
<i>what is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?</i>
>>>We can not differeniate like this..
Flat file may come from any systems, it may be live system or legacy system.
Legacy system- is something like old, or past one. If you talk about SAP , then older versions of SAP can be called as a legacy system.
So it may be a file system, or any system which is old version but it doesnot mean it is not in use,
Regards,
Moorthy

Deleted files and photos

If deleted files and photos even from the bin, is it possible in anyway to take them back without any cost issues?
Thanks

It may be possible to recover some erased ones, but you must quit using the Computer immediately, because the OS will think it can write to those freed blocks on the disk.

I have recently changed to an iMac from a Windows PC. How do I delete files and format the memory card in my helmet cam?

I have recently changed to an iMac from a Windows PC. How do I delete files and reformat the memory card in my helmetcam?

If you return the memory card to the helmetcam, it may choose to reformat it before use; back to some FAT-16 or FAT-32 format many of these third-party cards and cameras use. Unless you were going to use it for Mac OS X and format it with HFS+ or in a partition map for Mac data, etc.
If not, the easiest way to reformat the card may have been in the camera itself. I've formatted several kinds of camera cards, drives, USB flash drive, and others. The means varies with the intended purpose. Sometimes the default is the best; since it is platform neutral if the device is seen by both players.
Good luck & happy computing!

I am trying to open space in my macbook hard drive, so I deleted files and after emptying the trash bin the amount of Gigs didn't increase, why? Where can I go and delete those files?

I am trying to open space in my macbook hard drive, so I deleted files and after emptying the trash bin the amount of Gigs didn't increase, why? Where can I go and delete those files?

Did you do a secure empty trash? SHIFT COMMAND DELETE, they will be over wriiten. Are you deleting docs as they aren't much space, videos,pictures,music use much more space.
You can move those fiels to an external "archive" drive to save them then delete them from your internal drive.

If you don't remember the restrictions passcode, you will have to put the phone into recovery mode and restore it as a new device. Do NOT restore from your backup. The restriction settings are part of the backup.

My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

There are several nice programs that can help you figure out what's on your computer - OmniDiskSweep, WhatSize, and DaisyDisk are the three I like. If you've had your computer for a while - and especially if this isn't your first Mac and you've been migrating from one computer to another, one of these programs can help you find files you didn't know your computer still had. For example, when I was trying to shed files to fit int a 256GB SSD, I discovered I had nearly 1GB of files in my Application Support folder belonging to programs I no longer used.
Other than that, your easy choice are music, video, and photos. They tend to be the big files. A movie will generally be at least 1.25GB, for example.

!!! Statements of Logic Deleting Files and messing with System are True !!!

This morning I answered some guys post about Logic deleting everything in the same level as the project folder under certain circumstances. I Tried trouble shooting for him but could not recreate it.
Then this happened to me today:
When working in Logic 8 in Leopard all of a sudden it stopped communicating with my Unitor8 via USB. I restarted but the Unitor 8 Which I reset twice would NOT communicate with L8 anymore. It would remain in patch mode (red light lit though CPU is running)
I've had this erratic behavior many times since the past years on many computers so it wasn't really new. All one needs to do is reinstall the Unitor Family driver.
So I decided to do so:
I inserted my Logic Studio DVD and opened the installer and checked ONLY the Unitor family Drivers. After completed install I restarted the Mac. Everything went fine. So I booted L8. While booting I saw my hardrives on the right side of the desktop flash once. I thought that to be strange and took closer look.
Now my boot drive was missing from all the drives on the desktop and in the sidebar window...
I tried to Apple+Click on a Application in the dock. The finder opened the applications folder and showed me the app I had clicked on. But I could not navigate to the root of my System Drive even via the "path" sysmbol in the toolbar. So I hit shiftappleg and entered /Volumes/MySystemVolume - it showed my volume "Grayed Out" in the finder window...
I tried repairing the disk and permissions but nothing was wrong with my boot drive apparently besides the fact that the finder (and all other applications when wanting to open or save) could not "see" my system drive... I could launch all the apps normally that were residing on the SystemDrive in the AppFolder... So this kept getting weirder...
So I opened my favorite application Tinkertool System and went to the Tab Files and chose the underlying tab "Attributes" which shows me Macintosh HFS and Finder Attributes... I pulled my SystemDrive onto the Drop Area and discovered something VERY amazing: The Display in Finder option had mysteriously been altered to "INVISIBLE"
I changed it to Visible and there it was - My System Drive... Showing up in the finder...
I made a restart to make sure everything was OK....
After the restart the following settings had VANISHED:
1) Pixadex = ALL ICONS (I had 230 MB) of sorted icons stored in my Application Support Folder
2) All my Safari Book marks were gone - They were still in ~/Library/Safari - but the Bookmarks.plist was UNREADABLE even with a text editor and XML editor
3) Numerous other applications had LOST their authorization preferences so I had to re-authorize many of my Audio Unit plug-ins...
4) My Dock had been reset
5) My Monitor arrangement had been reset...
6) My date and time had been reset
7) My energy settings had been reset.... (I had NOT zapped the P-RAM)
Since installing Leopard 2 weeks ago - I have CAREFULLY monitored ANY activity after INSTALLING anything in order to be able to troubleshoot - and this problem definitely occurred right after installing the USB Family Drivers and launching L8....
There was really NO HARM done other than the sweating that I did troubleshooting but if L8 is capable of doing what happened to this other guy loosing his whole folder and now doing this to me - where are the limits? When is someone going to get REAL hurt.
Please Apple - I am sending you this post as a BUG report as well - could you PLEASE look into this as there has to be some kind of VERY dangerous MALFUNCTION within Logic or its Installers.

Wow, I was just joking with the medication thing. I didn't actually think it was seriously a mental health issue. Sorry.
In any case, though, if he has full access to the Mac, mental health issues or no, there's not a whole lot to do about it. If it is possible to take away administrative privileges without causing a huge fuss, then you can limit his access to certain things. However, you can't mess with privileges on a Time Machine backup (doing so breaks it), and that means he's going to have access to at least parts of the backup. Which means he can trash at least some of the backup data, and if he deletes files from the TM backup using the Finder, he'll have essentially trashed the whole backup. He might as well have the ability to delete all the files on the machine if he has the power to delete backups.
Honestly, in this situation, he should either only be allowed to use an account with Parental Controls on, which may not be an option (I don't know how offended he would be at such a suggestion), or he should be using a different computer entirely and have no access at all to his wife's computer. Alternately, have his wife keep a backup that is hidden - ie, connect the backup drive periodically and then remove it and hide it so he can't mess with it. That will at least secure the backup.

How to delete file from other system(LAN)

Hello folks,
Cud u plz help me out in finding code for deleting a file from other system i.e in LAN,assuming that the connection is already established to that system.

Get OverLappingFileLockException after deleting file and rebooting

I am using windows xp and nio. The application locks the file while it is running and unlocks after it exits unless it terminates because of some exception. I delete the file that is locked but the next time I start the application I get an OverlappingFileLockException. I have changed the name of the lock file and changed the directory. It continues to get the FL exception on the new file .... and I have rebooted the machine several times.
I am using jre/jdk 1.6.

DeployTool deletes files and directories

Hi All,
I have been facing serious issues with the DeployTool, once on Windows 2003 and the other on Solaris 9.
On Windows 2003, while I was trying to deploy an EAR file using the DeployTool, the deployment failed. And it then subsequently not only deleted the WebAS files and directories but also the system files. I had to reformat the system and install WebAS 6.40 SP9 again on it.
Now on Solaris 9 (with WebAS 6.40 SP9), when I was undeploying an application using the DeployTool, then again it deleted some directories in the user home directories, including the user and WebAS profile and environment scripts. M still to get the system back in place.
Is this a known issue with the DeployTool and if yes what wud be the recommended way to proceed in either case?
regards,
Vishal

You probably should rename the files.
A * is specifically not allowed in a file name. What's happening is that the file is stored with the unicode representation of the character. Unicode-aware apps like the Finder can deal with this but most other apps (including the file sharing daemons) cannot and that's why you see the unusual file names.
You're going to run into all kinds of other problems, too. Renaming your files i the best bet.

Mountain Lion iMovie I deleted files and now I can't log in at all

I was editing a movie in iMac, but when I went to finalize the project, it told me I didn't have enough memory. I checked and re-checked and I could not find what was using it up. My movie/photos etc totaled a litte over 100 gigs out of 1 TB. I downloaded a couple of programs to see what was taking up the space but finally found out that 719 gigs was being used by a huge file called "bands." I deleted the file and now when I try to log in I am told that file vault cannot log me in at this time. I have been trying for two days to log in. I was connected to Lacie 6TB but upon disconnecting the size of the file did not decrease.
Am I screwed? Are there any solutions? Apple refuses to even acknowledge my mail, so I assume this is a problem they don't want to hear about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using OSX Mountain Lion.
