Burn Folder Appearance and two strange file names

Dumb questions here, but I have to ask:
1. Where did this Burn Folder come from? I do not remember setting it up. What it a key stroke or something else I did? How do I get rid of it off my desktop?
2. 245827111.asx.asf and 245827111.ram - These two files just appeared on my desktop. Can anyone help me understand how this happened? What are they? What did I install?

#1- Burn folders are created if you insert a blank CD/DVD except when responding to a pre-initiated burn request (like pressing the burn button in iTunes)
#2- They may be "anchors" (don't know what else to call them) for streaming media files. If you clicked on a streaming video link, it is likely that those files-usually about 4KB were downloaded at that time, normally they are removed once the stream is played. If they're not, delete them yourself.
FYI-.ram is extension for RealPlayer files. .asf.asx is Advanced Streaming Format

PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

There are no children, nor other suspicious characters that have "played" with my computer. One moment I'm in, the next time I turn on/restart the powerbook I'm at a screen with the name of the hard drive and two fields: username and password. Not a list with pictures and names ie 'Katie Jo' with an orange icon and 'Guest' with a silhouette of a head.
In an attempt to remedy this problem, I backed up files using target disk mode and firewire cable. I then, rebooted in single user mode, typed in the correct script and essentially made the computer appear virgin again. Original start up welcome screen display with multiple languages, and then set up prompts such as language, network, and registration. After completing the cues and the "just a few more questions" page, I press continue and am left at a grey standstill, with the continue button greyed out, and no other actions. I'm only able to "go back" by clicking the go back button, all the way to the beginning of the set up, and as I proceed through the steps a second time, I'm greeted with the same halt. What is this?

Download csv file with strange file name.

hi, guys:
We installed Oracle APEX 4.2, and APEX listener 2.0 and Oracle 11g standard edition for our application. But sometimes when user tried to download csv file from an interactive report, the file name was a very strange one, sometimes even no .csv extension. could anyone give me a hint to find documentation about it?
Thanks.

a little more information about it:
I found the file name is "&P16_DIP_START_DATE NOA", which we expect to generate a file named as " some date NOA.csv", but APEX does not recognize the value of variable. For example, if teh value of P16_DIP_START_DATE is 11/15/2012, we expect the file name as "11/15/2012 NOA.csv", but APEX will give us very strange file name replaceing every "/" with / I appreciate anyone who could help me on this issue. But We did not encounter this [roblem on APEX 4.1, OC4J and Oracle 11g R2 enterprise.
Thanks.
I just used to_char to output date without "/" and soleved it. The other way is to set application property-->security-->browser security with basic level. This only applies to APEX 4.2. I am lucky for that I am using Apex 4.2.

I can has editing?Suspect you are trying to explain that "/"s are being rendered as <tt>&#x2F</tt>? If you want to include character entities in forum posts then you have to type the ampersand ("&") as an entity itself, thus: <tt>&amp;#x2F</tt>.Windows or *NIX filenames can't contain "/"s anyway, so you can't use them regardless of how APEX is rendering them. Using a <tt>YYYYMMDD</tt> format is also recommended as it follows date order when using character comparison semantics.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Hi bbanacki,
Please have a look at the following code:
Define your queries and then:
oAdvancedQuery.ReturnType=eSearchFile
oMyDataFinder.Results.MaxCount = iMaxNumberOfReturndElements
Call oMyDataFinder.Search(oAdvancedQuery)
Set oMyResults = oMyDataFinder.Results
If oMyResults.IsIncomplete Then
msgbox "The first " & str(oMyResults.Count) & " files found"
Else
msgbox str(oMyResults.Count) & " files found"
End If
for iLoop = 1 to oMyResults.Count
Cell.Text = oMyResults(iLoop).Properties("Name").Value
Cell.Text = oMyResults(iLoop).Properties("fullpath").Value

Strange file names

Hi,
I noticed some days ago some strange file names on my Finder Windows under Macintosh HD. Files like %A0 or more complex names with lots of unusual chars. When I get info they are 0Kb. I tried to trash them but the system asks me for the admin password. What are these strange files? Can I trash them without making harm to the system?
Thanks for any possible help.

His issue is different, since he wasn't wondering if it was safe to trash them, but how to trash them, since it wasn't working for him.
Also, it never hurts to start a new thread, if the solution in the old one didn't work. If the solutions are different, the problems are probably different too.

Strange File name appearance, PLEASE HELP!

I have Mac OS X v 10.6.8; When I open any finder window, the below file name appears on all of them. I have deleted the item to "trash" it still shows when I open any finder window! I suspect it is some kind of virus, but I am not sure. I have NortonAntiVirus running on this machine. Please help!

Niel, thanks very much, it solved my problem and I learned something today. I also learned that I need to learn more about Mac OS X; Happy New Year!

I name each photo buy replacing the jpeg number with the name. when I burn to disk and open disk the name is not shown. how do I get the name given to show on the burn disk?.

after I burn the files to dvd and load to view the name does not appear. How do I get the name listed to appear on the burn disk instead of the file number?

Naming the Photo - or giving it a title - is not the same as naming file.
How are you burning to dvd? With iPhoto? If so then the Title will be available in any app that understands basic metadata.
If you want the title available in the Finder - which does not understand photo metadata - then you'll need to export the file
File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue you'll see a heading for 'File Name'. Choose 'Use Title' from the drop down.

Import From Folder: How to Extract the File Name in a Custom Column.

Hello All
Here´s what we´re trying to do:
We have a folder with csv files named like this:
Sales_2013-02-05.csv
Sales_2013-02-04.csv
Sales_2013-02-03.csv
Sales_2013-02-02.csv
Sales_2013-02-01.csv
And in the csv files there are the sales columns but not the date column.
So we want to extract the date from the file name.
I´ve tried entering = Source[Name] in a custom column, but it adds a "LIST" link, and on a click on expand, it adds ALL file names from the folder in each row, instead of just the needed one.
If we could get the proper file name in each row (from where they got extracted), we could split the column and get the date from there. But I don´t know how put the filename there properly.
Can you help?

This isn't entirely straightforward, but it's definitely possible. What you need to do is to apply all of your transforms to each individual file instead of the combined files. I do that as follows:
1) Use Folder.Files as generated by the GUI to look at the list of my files.
2) Pick one file and do all the transformations to it that I want to apply to all of the files. Sometimes, this just amounts to letting the autodetection figure out the column names and types.
3) Go into the advanced editor and edit my code so that the transformations from step 2 are applied to all files. This involves creating a new function and then applying that function to the content in each row.
4) Expand the tables created in step 3.
As an example, I have some files with names that match the ones you suggested. After steps 1 + 2, my query looks like the following:
let
    Source = Folder.Files("d:\testdata\files"),
    #"d:\testdata\files\_Sales_2013-02-01 csv" = Source{[#"Folder Path"="d:\testdata\files\",Name="Sales_2013-02-01.csv"]}[Content],
    #"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(#"d:\testdata\files\_Sales_2013-02-01 csv",null,",",null,1252),
    #"First Row as Header" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Imported CSV"),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"First Row as Header",{{"One", Int64.Type}, {"Two", type text}, {"Three", type text}})
in
    #"Changed Type"
For step 3, I need to take steps 3-5 of my query and convert them into a function. As a check, I can apply that function to the same file that I chose in step 2. The result looks like this:
let
    Source = Folder.Files("d:\testdata\files"),
    Loader = (file) =>
        let
            #"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(file,null,",",null,1252),
            #"First Row as Header" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Imported CSV"),
            #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"First Row as Header",{{"One", Int64.Type}, {"Two", type text}, {"Three", type text}})
        in
            #"Changed Type",
    #"d:\testdata\files\_Sales_2013-02-01 csv" = Source{[#"Folder Path"="d:\testdata\files\",Name="Sales_2013-02-01.csv"]}[Content],
    Loaded = Loader(#"d:\testdata\files\_Sales_2013-02-01 csv")
in
    Loaded
Now I apply the same function to all of the rows, transforming the existing "Content" column into a new value:
let
    Source = Folder.Files("d:\testdata\files"),
    Loader = (file) =>
        let
            #"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(file,null,",",null,1252),
            #"First Row as Header" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Imported CSV"),
            #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"First Row as Header",{{"One", Int64.Type}, {"Two", type text}, {"Three", type text}})
        in
            #"Changed Type",
    Transformed = Table.TransformColumns(Source, {"Content", Loader})
in
    Transformed
Finally, I need to expand out the columns in the table, which I can do by clicking on the expand icon next to the Content column header. The resulting query looks like this:
let
    Source = Folder.Files("d:\testdata\files"),
    Loader = (file) =>
        let
            #"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(file,null,",",null,1252),
            #"First Row as Header" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Imported CSV"),
            #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"First Row as Header",{{"One", Int64.Type}, {"Two", type text}, {"Three", type text}})
        in
            #"Changed Type",
    Transformed = Table.TransformColumns(Source, {"Content", Loader}),
    #"Expand Content" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Transformed, "Content", {"One", "Two", "Three"}, {"Content.One", "Content.Two", "Content.Three"})
in
    #"Expand Content"
From here, you should be able to get to what you want.

HT4061 I downloaded an iTunes update on my HP. PC and restarted the computer for the hangers to take effect. Now my pc is locked up. It gives me a client Mac address and no boot file name received. What happened, and how do I get my pc back?

When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.

Publishing w/FTP and spaces in file names

I read that if I wanted to build a site in iWeb, and then publish to a 'non .mac' server (via FTP) that I'd have to make sure that all of my file and page names didn't have any spaces or special characters in them.
I went thru all of my files and fixed all of the names, and then re-imported/re-linked using all of the new names.
When I 'publish to file' though, several of the files revert back to the old names in the newly published folder.
Anyone have any ideas? Is there a cache, or something, in iWeb that might be causing this?
Thanks, in advance...

did you get it fixed? because i had the same thing happen to me. what i did was,
-open your site on iweb
-click on the inspector button
-click on the metrics tab on it(thats second from the right, looks like a little ruler).
-click on a photo or a graphic. (it will show you the file name in the file info box).
-for any of the files that have spaces in them opened up a new finder window and go directly to that file.
-click on the file name and change it so that it has no spaces
-now draged it directly to the place holder on iweb.
-the file name should changed in the inspector box.
-then save it and re-publish it to a folder. in the folder you can look and see if it changed.
I had to do this with almost all my files. there might be a faster way but this worked for me
hope this helps.

Capture href onclick and log the file name to the database table

I need somehelp with JSP, JavaScript and Java. When a link to a .wav file is clicked, it need to play the file by calling playSound(); function of Windows Media Player, and then capture the name of the file and call a java function to send the information to mySQL database where it will be logged in the file name will be recorded in a table. I am having rough time for being able to call the java function from the jsp function. I am aware that the jsp variable, in this case the file name that was clicked, can not be called in Java but I do not know any other way to do it.
Please Help....
I have made a few changes to the code now. Here is my latest code. I still need some help with onClick event. It does not work as intended.
          <a href="WaMu_Recording/<%out.println(strFileName);%>
               onclick="<%
                         mymes.logFilePlayed(strUser, strPassword2, strFileName);
                    %>;
                         playsound('<%out.print(strFileName);%>');">
                    <%
                         out.print(strFileName);
                    %>
          </a>
The program appears to be executing the first part of the onClick, mymes.logfilePlayed(strUser, strPassword2, strFileName) as soon as the page is loaded because I can see the all of the records added to the database even before any of the href is clicked.
onclick should execute calling of the functions logFilePlayed and playsound when the click event occurs.
Edited by: uncleshah on May 21, 2008 5:26 AM

Here is how it was solved:
1) A hidden text box was created for each of the href using the following html script:
     <input type='hidden' name='<%out.print(fileViewed);%>' style="display:" value="" id='<%out.print(intNumber);%>' />
the name was like an array. So the fields were named: fileViewed1, fileView2, fileView3.... and so on.
2) Here is the onClick event for the href field:
onclick="playFile(
          '<%out.print(intNumber);%>',
          '<%out.print(strFileName);%>',
          '<%out.print(fileViewed);%>'
3) Here is the playFile function:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
     function playFile(fileNumber, strFileName, fileViewed)
          var desc =document.DisplayFiles.elements[fileViewed];
          desc.value = strFileName;
          playsound('strFileName');
</SCRIPT>
Note that fileNumber param is not used.
4) Upon submit of this form. A new page was opened and here is the code for the new form.
boolean moreFiles = true;
String fileName;
String somethingBack = "";
myMessage mm = new myMessage();
int i = 1;
String strPara ="fileViewed" + i;
while(moreFiles)
     fileName = request.getParameter(strPara);
     if (fileName != null) {
          if (!(fileName).equals(""))
// this function on the server side create a record for each file played.
               somethingBack = mm.logFilePlayed(userSess, password, fileName);
               ++i;
               strPara = "fileViewed" + i;
     } else {
          moreFiles = false;
          mm = null;
     } //if else
} //while
This is about 10 days of work in a very short note. I hope that someone will benefit from this work.

Utility or script "each clip = new movie and let media file = name"

I've found out that if I want to split a clip at the playhead and make it a new AS-IS original with a unique media file name designation; I have to go through:
file>export> as full quality movie > check the "selected clips only " box > copy and paste the name and then designate destination folder> CLICK and then wait until done. (Thank you Karl)
Unfortunately, completing this process with 180 clips per project x 15 to 20 projects per quarter... well it was more than I was prepared to do.
Therefore... is there anyone out there who could (or has already) program(ed) some kind of script/utility/add-on that would create a new AS-IS clip from each clip that was "split at the playhead" and ALSO, make those final clips as well as every other existing clip in the project have its media file designation the same as its name.
ie "each clip = new full quality movie and let its media file = name."
This would save me around 10 hours per week.
mac pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Karsten is correct. iMovie itself does not support AppleScript.
But for applications that don't support AppleScript, Apple offers a "System Events" AppleScripting alternative. It lets an AppleScript script use System Events to do things in OTHER applications. It can act on window objects, like click on a button. Theoretically, System Events can do just about any task in iMovie.
Except, unfortunately, select a clip.
That's right, there is no way to select a clip with a script. So a script can't control which object to act on. YOU have to select the clip manually. That's not an insurmountable problem, but it does mean you can't tell the script to export every clip in the Timeline.
Probably the easiest way to do what you want is with QuicKeys, the third-party software that lets you define tasks, then assign a key to perform that task. Just about any task you can imagine. One kind of task is a macro to perform a series of actions. QuicKeys lets you record macros in any application. Its record function makes macro-writing pretty easy.
(QuicKeys is one of those utilities I wouldn't be without. I use QuicKey keys hundreds of times a day for repetitive tasks.)
Back to AppleScript. Theoretically, QuickTime Player Pro can do what you want. QuickTime Player is VERY scriptable.
Here's the trick: Each time we save the iMovie project, iMovie updates the "Timeline Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder (inside the project package). When iMovie saves, it sets the selected frames of that movie to match the selected clip in the TimeLine. When you open the "Timeline Movie.mov" in QuickTime Player, the selected video/audio matches the clip selected in iMovie.
So after you select a clip in iMovie, an AppleScript could save the iMovie project (to update the Timeline Movie), open the Timeline Movie in QuickTime, Copy the selected frames, Paste them into a new movie, then save the new movie.
Back to QuicKeys. QuicKeys can work across multiple applications just like an AppleScript. So theoretically you could run part of a macro in iMovie and another part in QuickTime Player. And, if I recall, QuicKeys can run AppleScript scripts.
What you REALLY want is an application that knows how to read iMovie project files and automatically exports each clip to its own movie.
Maybe I'm missing some simple work-around. That'd be sweeeeeet!
Yup. Sometimes the best solution is to avoid the problem, not solve it.
We can export a project to the camera, then re-import it to a new iMovie project. When we do, most clips on the Timeline return as discrete clips. Clips like titles will not be editable, of course.
That is best done early on, before we add titles, transitions and such. Import the newly-shot video, do a rough edit to get rid of the stuff you don't want, export the Timeline to the camera, re-import to a new project. All the junk will be gone and now each clip is a discrete clip with its own source file. NOW add titles and such.

Odd, weird, strange file names on hard drive

For the last several months, I have had odd file names showing up on my hard drive. I click on the file to open it and "text edit" opens to a blank page. I delete these files but within a few days they are back again. Does anyone know where these are coming from and how to make them stop appearing?
Examples of the names are: %90, %90%E0%FF%BF7', %A0%E0%FF%BF7', and p%E0%FF%BF7', they all say "zero KB" under size, and "plain text" under kind.
I attempted to post a pic of my HD below but am not sure if it will work.
Thanks,

Now, type a space after the @ sign, and drag one of the files in from Finder into the Terminal. Press enter, and paste the results of the command up here.

Changing song info in Itunes and the actual file names

How can I change the song info in iTunes and make it change the actual file names?
It gets a bit tiring after every single time iTunes updates I have to re-organize my 3000+ songs. I tried to do a quick search for an answer in the forums but I wasn't exactly sure what I should search for so sorry if this is a duplicate post.
Is this possible? (does this make sense?)
Thanks!

I have the option checked and I made several changes to the ablums name and song names for several songs in my library. iTunes changed the files to the new folder names and renamed the files.
The only problem is that I have empty folders of the old album names.
