Each time I restart my iMac hidden files appear

Okay, this is new.  Each time I restart or start up my iMac, all the hidden files appear.  I run the appropriate line items in Terminal and all of the files disappear until I restart my computer.  It all started to happen after I ran the latest update.  I may have installed another software at the same time, but I don't remember.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
You can also check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

  • My homepage reverts to something I don't want each time I restart Firefox

    I downloaded imesh as I was trying to find backing music for a song - it didn't have to piece I required. When I downloaded it - imesh became my homepage. I keep on changing my homepage to what I actually want it to be but it reverts to imesh each time I restart Firefox. I have uninstalled imesh from my computer and it still does it. How do stop it from doing this?

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> in '''Startup''' section click '''Reset to Default''' button
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
    -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Recently upgrade to Yosemite and now Apple symbol and install bar displays each time I restart

    Hi guys,
    Hoping someone can help. Recently upgraded to Yosemite and the other day I noticed that when restarting the Apple symbol displayed along with the install bar (just like happens when you upgrade your iPhone). This went on for about 30 seconds before the login screen displayed. This now happens every time I restart. I haven't downloaded and tried to install any files so I am not sure why this keeps happening.
    I am worried it might be malware or similar that is trying to work into the operating system. I have disconnected WiFi and timed the restart to check the logs (although I have no idea what I am looking for). The Apple System Log (ASL) Message log seamed to have a number of fail messages and 'installation' lines so hopefully this will make sense to someone. Below is the log for that 30 seconds of the install.

    Hi Blotontheland,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

  • Why is it necessary to re-enable each time I wish to open a file in Photoshop CS6?

    When I use the "open file" command, I find all of my files blanked out and I have to "enable" the window to show "All Documents" each time. Is there a way to change this so that "All documents" are always visible when I choose Open File (or Command-O) in Photoshop CS6? I am using a Mac Pro and the latest version of PS CS6.

    From the above link:
    Many odd issues can be resolved by resetting your Photoshop preferences.
    The main preferences file is called "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp".
    Once you find the file, save a copy to include in your bug report, then delete or remove it from the preferences folder.
    Photoshop will create a new preference file the next time it is run.
    Windows
    Under Windows XP the preference file will be found at:
    %windir%\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\PhotoshopCS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp
    Under Vista and Windows 7 or 8, the preference file will be found at:
    Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp
    Macintosh
    On MacOS the preference file will be found at:
    /Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings/Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp
    PLEASE NOTE: On MacOS 10.7 and later, Apple has hidden your Library folder, so you may need to make it visible - but the location is the same for all MacOS X versions. Instructions for accessing hidden user library files: Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    If you need a quick and dirty way to restore your preferences, here's a way you can do it using a keyboard shortcut on launch:
    Windows - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.

  • Why are my custom groups and buttons at QAT deleted each time I restart Outlook?

    I created 3 template emails in my Outlook 2010 and added them to a group under Home Tab and also tried adding them to the QAT. In both cases, each time I reset Outlook, my customized templates are gone from the ribbon.

    Hi,
    How did you add the template emails to a group under Home tab?
    Did you have any group policy set in your environment to restore your Outlook settings after each reboot?
    Please come back and provide more information so that we can fix the problem more efficiently.
    Meanwhile, please refer to the two links below to check if it helps:

  • I see a 40 second delay each time I click in the Local Files pane after working in the Edit pane.

    I'm running Dreamweaver CS4.  I have a PHP file that's about  12,000 lines and each time I want to upload changes to the server, I stop editing in the Edit pane and click in the Local Files pane, at right, so I can select the file I've been working on the then do a synchronize. But it takes about 40 seconds, while a spinner goes around, before focus is transferred to the Local Files pane and I can select my file and synchronize.  It's as if Dreamweaver wants to do spell check or some kind of format check on all 12,000 lines before it lets me go to the Local Files pane.
    If I do a CTRL-SHIFT + U to upload I still see the same 40 second delay before the upload starts.
    Does anyone know what might be causing this?
    Thanks

    Just for interest sake, what is the size of the file that has 12,000 lines of code?  Have you tried asking in some php forums or newsgroup if this file can be stream-lined to make it smaller and/or efficient?
    I don't know why DW goes to sleep for 40 seconds but you might want to clear the DW preference file to see if that makes any difference.  D W Powers wrote a tutorial on how to do this but I can't find his page.  Alternatively, you can try this link:

    Good luck.

  • I use many brush tips from the different libraries frequently - but each time I restart Illustrator I loose my work space set up even if I save it.

    Is there a way around loosing the brush palette set up each time I start up illustrator? I often use these brush sets and set up a work space that works well - and then even save it. But when I restart Illustrator it reverts back to the essential brush palette showing only. Is there a way to keep the set up exactly as I like it? I have saved them as user defined - but it still always requires me to cal that up - just wondering if there is a way around this?

    are your brush libraries stored in Adobe Illustrator CXX\Presets\en_US\Brushes?
    is 'Persistent' checked in the drop down menu for each brush library when you have it open?

  • Each time I reopen a folder the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

    Each time I reopen a folder in OS X 10.8.4 the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

    I might add that all the files are aliases. There are 40 altogether and I am aware I could create 10 sub-folders so I only have 4 aliases in each subfolder which would mean I only have to rearrange 4 aliases each time but this is still not ideal. I have been using Macs since the 1980's and up to now files have always stayed where you put them unless you selected Arrange By in the Finder View Menu.

  • I have a new macbook pro and just installed latest firefox. The problems is i can't seem to disable the tabs from appearing each time i restart firefox. I did uncheck every box in the peferences tab menu, still can't stop the tabs from appearing.

    New Macbook pro with lion
    Firefox 10.0

    Hi dcast01,
    Are you saying that it restores your old tabs when you restart? Have you looked at ''Preferences > General'' to see if Firefox is set to restore your tabs from the last session? You should change it to ''When Firefox Starts: Show my home page''.
    Or is your issue that you keep seeing the tab that says "welcome to firefox" when you start the browser? If that's the case, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How can I keep from having to "re-activate" my add-on's in Firefox each time I restart my computer. This is a pain in the A**

    Every time I restart my computer, Firefox makes me "re-activeate" or "re-enable" my add-on's . This is a major pain, and is at the point where I am about to dump FF and move to Chrome. How can I stop the insanity.

    If this is happening to all your add-ons:
    Firefox stores the information about whether you've seen the prompt about add-on compatibility in a pref:
    [email protected]
    What may be going on is that something is preventing Firefox from saving that preference and so it keeps triggering the prompt. Go to Help > Troubleshooting Information and click the Show Folder button next to "Profile Directory". Look for a file called prefs.js -- right click on it and select properties. Make sure it's not read-only or locked in any way.
    There are other suggestions in the [[Preferences are not saved]] article if that doesn't help.

  • IMac hidden files 600 gb

    I have a iMac from 2010 and it has been running great!
    Since I have updated to Lion, my disk space is getting lower.
    Now I have only a few mb "free".
    The app "disk inspector" says : " 600 gb hidden items at ....HD"
    Does anyone knows what to do?

    the problem were hidden files in mail!

  • Hidden Files Appearing

    For some strange reason, etc, tmp, var, and Bootx.bootinfo have appeared in my root directory and I can't use SetFile -aV to hide them (I get an error). Since tiger doesn't use the .hidden file anymore (but respects it) does anyone have a solution for how to hide these files again? It's more cosmetic than anything but I don't want to accidentally trash them.
    iBook G4 1.33   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Mid-2005 Model

    " The symlinks for etc tmp and var are not responding to SetFile even though it's not returning an error."
    Depending on what is meant by "are not responding", that might just be the stupid "Finder" - I should have mentioned that the "Finder" will probably have to be restarted before it recognizes the change, but on the other hand, the fact that it worked on "BootX.bootinfo" may mean the problem is something else. The result of 'GetFileInfo' should at least indicate whether or not the attribute is being set.
    Regarding the error, I only get see the "-5000" error while attempting to use 'SetFile' on a link that is not owned by the user executing the command, unless the user is "root". It is unexpected that it should appear while executing the command with 'sudo'. Also, note that it is not necessary for "root" to be enabled to use 'sudo', but as along as it is, you could try AppleScript instead.
    Also, when posting about commands not working, it is often helpful if the exact command that was used is included in the post. Something that I am told OS X does differently from other unix based systems is its handling of symbolic links and autocompletion. OS X adds a trailing slash when autocompleting the name of a symbolic link to a directory. It seems that with 'SetFile', if the argument is a symbolic link to a directory and is entered with the trailing slash, it will act on the link's target even in the presence of the '-P' flag so this might be another reason why the command may appear to fail. Of course, it should be possible to use 'GetFileInfo' to check the status of both link and target after executing the command...

  • How do I restore Time Machine of my iMac Apps & Files to my MacBook?

    My situation:
    I have 2 computers (iMac and MacBook Pro).
    My MacBook Pro has a suite of software that I cannot transfer to my iMac. Why? Because the liscencing was computer specific (foolish me for thinking I could use one lisnence and have it used on one machine meant that I could unregister the former and register the other machine).
    My iMac has Time Machine backups. I recently lost anything and everything purchased on iTunes. I now have that restored thanks to iTunes Support. The now up to date Time Machine backup files are up to date and regular for my iMac.
    *The Situation*
    My iMac had a harddrive failure. It was replaced twice. then the graphics card failed. It was replaced. So I finally get my iMac back yesterday, now it makes a High Pitch SQUEEEEL!
    iMac is back at Apple Store. I was polite.
    *What I Want to Happen*
    I want to move my iTunes and all my other documents over to my MacBook, via the Time Machine backup.
    *What Happened*
    Following the instructions found on this forum and the apple troubleshooting/faq sections for Time Machine, it transfered.
    *My Issue*
    After the little progress meter finished, I cant find the files.
    Now my computer directory looks stupid with (copy of copy of copy of copy of MacHDD)
    *My Request*
    Type of Help that Could Work for Me:
    1. Tell me where the files are?
    2. Tell me how I should set up my files and time machine and stuff!
    3. or, if the above is not possible buy my computers from me, give me CDs and DVDs of my music, movies, and documents.

    Exactly how did you do that? You should have used +Migration Assistant,+ but it sounds like you didn't.
    After the little progress meter finished, I cant find the files.

    Assuming MacHDD is the name of one of the internal HDs, it does sound like you did the transfer incorrectly.
    1. Tell me where the files are?
    Probably in one or more of those copies of MacHDD.
    2. Tell me how I should set up my files and time machine and stuff!
    That's going to depend on exactly what's where, and what you want to do:
    Do you want to erase everything on the MacBook and copy everything from the iMac's backups, or do you have things on the MacBook that you want to keep?
    When you got the second Mac, did you set it up from the other one? If you did, then you should have identical user accounts on both Macs (they may have different data, but the exact same names and passwords).
    And, do you have an iTunes library, and/or the other files you want to move, in the same places on both Macs?
