Corrupt?? Preferences folders look like this: ¿íq$tøˇ'êí}ÿ@íq&–íq

while trying to correct other problems, I opened preferences folder and found many folders that looked like *¿íq$tøˇ‘êí}ÿ@íq&–íq.
I assume they're corrupt...should I just trash them??
Causes??

I've used preferences to show gridlines and trashed excel's plist and still my new sheets come up with cell borders (total sheet) ...Even after eliminating borders from a sheet, borders show up at odd times like when I paste into a cell....some of my old, seldom used sheets have borders scattered through out and seemingly random...others are totally bordered even though they originally had only gridlines.
This originally happened instantly...I think I might have hit an odd key combo while working in Excel, but I wonder why it would apply to every Excel workbook and sheet on my computer.
(I have a couple of other Excel issues, is this the proper forum?)

  • I would like to delete a google pref cookie that re-establishes itself instantly even when I am on a blank new tab that looks like this: PREF ID=eb1514ca52c9d

    I would like to delete a google pref cookie that re-establishes itself instantly even when I am on a blank new tab-- it looks like this:
    name: PREF
    content: ID=eb1514ca52c9d753:TM=1403658310:LM=1403658310:S=CQKzVsy8LHiPFFmX
    domain: .google.com
    path: /
    send for: Any type of connection
    it might be helpful just to know what it's doing, since I don't have any google/gmail/youtube accounts...

    What page are you using for your new tab page? Is it completely blank or is it the page with the thumbnails, but with the thumbnails hidden (in that case, there usually is a grid-like icon on the upper right side of the page)?
    You can check the current setting here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page if it isn't what you want:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    But... extensions can override this setting. If you are getting a page other than the one you specified, that could be explanation.
    Any luck?

  • I have a problem with mail autofilling info email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States email address . I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is...How can I fix/change to my name?

    I have an irritating problem with mail autofilling info in email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States <my email address>. I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is or how it got to be there...How can I fix/change to my name?
    I fixed the To: autofilling incorrectly by deleting my email address from the Previous Recipients List, but is there a way to stop that from coming up on emails that I receive?

    Have you checked your Mac address book? If your email is saved somewhere in your address book with the name "Holidays in the United States" it might be adding the name automatically in Mac Mail.
    Alternatively, try this:
    Delete an Email Address from Auto-Complete in Mac OS X Mail
    To remove an email address from the auto-complete list in Mac OS X Mail:
    Start typing the recipient's address or name in a new message.
    Select the desired address from the auto-complete list as if you'd compose an email to them.
    Click the small down arrow in the recipient.
    Select Remove from Previous Recipients List from the menu.
    You can also search for the unwanted address directly in the previous recipients list:
    Select Window | Previous Recipients from the menu in Mac OS X Mail.
    Highlight the address you want to remove.You can highlight multiple addresses by holding down the Command key.
    Click Remove from List.

    I have a question about extracting pages.  When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf".  Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files.  It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name.  Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

    I was getting startup disk full error which started me on the journey to free up storage

    It looks more like you have missed the External Disk icon and dropped them al lover the desktop. I think, if I  remember, you click on one then select all (Command+A) and hold down Option (otherwise it may be Control or Command) and close one which should close them all.

  • Why does my terminal prompt look like this?

    Today I noticed that my Terminal prompt now looks like this:
    *pranaymishra:~ tbarth$*
    Any idea how that happened? There's nothing in the .profile that does this.
    -Travis

    The computer name is 'Travis', and always has been.
    Hmmm...
    Further investigating shows a computer by that name on the network with a different IP address. The DHCP server shows my IP address as associated with my computer name, 'Travis'.
    So could this be an OS X network error where it's picking up the computer name from something like WINS or DNS and not updating it if the IP lease changes? And if so, why does it not simply use the given name specified by the user instead?
    As far as the network is concerned, my computer name is 'Travis', as it should be.
    -Travis
    EDIT: BTW, 'Use dynamic global host name' is not enabled.

  • The first 7 or 8 letters of a sentence are jumbled as I type. This happens only after a period of inactivity. Short or long. I start to type and a word like 'anybody', looks like this: 'ybodyan' I have done all the normal fixes. No luck. Ideas? Thx

    It's in every text-input app I use in my normal day.....most frustrating as you have to do a doublecheck especially in documents which do not have any special spellcheck system. I've done the cleanmymac, maintenance, cocktail, PRAM reset, Font Cache Smash fixes.....and still I'm dogged by this. Its almost as though the motherboard or some interface system is 'sleeping' longer than it should (if there are any input areas of the MBP which rest during short periods of inactivity) and then the initial keystrokes on the keyboard are somehow not registered and only 'kick in' once half of a new word's characters are already on the screen........grrrrr.

  • Export from AVCHD looks like THIS: (image embedded) I've tried EVERYTHING

    I'm using a Sony HDR-XR500V and importing using Apple Inter. Codec 1920x1080i60 in log and transfer and in "Canvas" in FCE, it looks GREAT, the motion is perfect.
    However, no matter how I export (this was Export with Quicktime, uncompressed, size 1920x1080, but I've tried EVERYTHING) it looks like this. In Quicktime, I can hit "de-interlace" but it ghosts instead. I've tried de-interlace in exporting too.
    In the original AVCHD files, and in Canvas on FCE, I can read the writing on everything, and I have not yet been able to export in any format where I can read the writing on the stones.
    The exported files look like this on my PC as well... HELP!
    PS... this was an image export from QT.

    Well, as I said, it's not like that in the original AVCHD files, nor is it like that in the Canvas on FCE, so what do you mean when you say "That's the way the material is shot."?
    I'm exporting my edited project to a file so I can stream it to my Sony Bravia TV in 1080.

  • The Contacts app continually adds last names that I edit out.  this happens across MacBook, iPhone, and iCloud.  I have even fully deleted the contact and reentered.  I am about to move to Android !!  From posts it looks like this is a common problem.

    The Contacts app continually adds last names that I edit out.  this happens across MacBook, iPhone, and iCloud.  I have even fully deleted the contact and reentered.  I am about to move to Android !!  From posts it looks like this is a common problem, but I've never seen an explanation or fix from Apple.  Does anyone know how to correct this?

    It is asking if you want to delete all the iCloud contacts off your Mac (not in iCloud).
    Delete them. If you keep them you will have duplicates when you turn it back on. You will have the copy you kept and another copy when they resync with iCloud

  • Possible to make a chart look like this?

    I'd like to make a chart look like

    Is this possible and if yes with which chart type and

    some tutorial or guides how to draw custom shapes and line

    Hi Tony,
    Fisrt it's sure to use datetime, date and time range as a dimension for
    crosstab.
    The default type of ORDERDATE is Date, so you should define a computed
    column in dataset: expression is row["ORDERDATE"] type is Date Time or
    Time. Then using them in your cube.
    If you want display like:
    Jan 1, 00:00 to 11:59 x1
    Jan 1, 12:00 to 23:59 x2
    Jan 2, 00:00 to 11:59 x3
    you should make sure that the ORDERDATE dimension is a Regular group but
    not a Date group. Because the Date group can not set the static level. Do
    you know how to set the regular dimension? In cube builder, when you drag
    ORDERDATE column into Groups, there will be a selection dialog pops up,
    you just chose the regular group is ok. Then you can define your static
    levels to display x1, x2 and x3. There is another way but now we didn't
    open this feature now, the date level will suppport user to define its
    interval(range), but the display is only the number of hour but not 11:59.
    see bug
    #189340(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=189340)
    Second, chart can not using the cube's dimension as an axis, chart only
    can use the dataset as its data source, please see comments #3 in
    bug#192853.
    Regards!
