Empty Locked Folder Appears?

I have two empty folders that just showed up in my Finder. According to "Get Info" they appeared yesterday. When I try to delete them it asks for my password, which I haven't typed in. One folder is called "update" and the other is "verify_dir". What would these be from? All my sharing is turned off?

  • E75: An unknown folder appearing in the opening ds...

    On the opening display, an unnamed and unknown empty, yellow folder appears first installation between the internet and the mode folders. No way to get rid of this, not even in the PC suite, where it cannot be found. Another mysterious folder named {eede788c-2956-11db-962d-00e08161165f}Relocated shows up in the phone browser folder lists, and can also be seen in the PC suite. What is this? A virus?

    It sounds like the phones software has been corrupted.
    Try running the nokia software updater to see if it cures it.
    Backup everthing you want to keep then download and install the nokia software updater:

    If this doesn't fix it then you will need to visit a nokia care point.

  • File sharing problem with a PC . locked Folder Icons and funny things

    Help was running Tiger fine then upgraded to leopard now my Macbook pro wont shut down properly unless i disconnect all the external USB devices that are attached.
    I also used to be able to write to my shared folder on my Windows PC, this comes up on my mac Book pro now with a locked disk icon on it and i cant save to it. the folders inside it also start changing there icon appearance at will. and some times when i try to save a file to it it keeps telling me the file name is too long even if i change it to only one or two characters .
    would not mind too much but this is my business thats being effected by this . I have tried it on 2 Imac
    Dual core flat panel machine's which still run in tiger and everything is fine with both of these so i know its Leopard that has caused these faults. anyone with any help please let me know .
    ian

    *Same problem* here: MacBook on Tiger was fine, after installing Leo, unable to write on shared pc-folders (lock-icon).
    There are 2 work-arounds I found:
    1. uncheck the "protected" box in the info-panel (Mac) of a locked folder,
    2. if the pc-folder had a custom icon, resetting to standard will unlock the write protection as well. In both cases, the folders on the pc will change their icons... I have to agree that this is a Leopard issue.
    As I use the Mac for work and often have to exchange docs from and to pc's this "bug" is annoying me.

  • How do you restore a password on a locked folder made in disk utility?

    how do you restore a password on a locked folder made in disk utility?

    Hello there, HoseDwellers.
    The following Knowledge Base article as a great step by step instructional on how to change the password for the account:
    OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    Resetting a user's password in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion
    Important: Passwords for administrator accounts should not be blank.
    Log in with an administrator account. Tip: If you don't know the password of any administrator accounts, see "Resetting the original administrator account password" below.
    From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
    Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.
    Select the name of the user whose password you want to change.
    Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
    Enter a new password in both the New Password and Verify fields, and add a Password Hint if desired.
    Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.This should get you taken care of.
    Remember, also, that you can restart the computer (you will be prompted to enter your administrator password) and this should log him out  so that when you log back in, you can then follow the above steps with success.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Locked folder I can't get rid of.

    I was burning a data-DVD of some photos when I hit a snag navigating in Finder, and so I control-clicked on Finder and told it to relaunch. But by doing that, it interrupted the DVD burn. Now, I have a folder on my desktop that is called Untitled DVD that is locked, and I can't get rid of it. I can't unlock it either. When I try, Tiger tells me I don't have permission to do that. I tried to move it so it wouldn't be on my desktop, and instead, it just copied it to another folder. So now I have two of these stupid, useless folders.
    So, any ideas on how I can get rid of these folders? They're not taking up that much room, but they are annoying.

    Delete the locked folder with Terminal (in Applications > Utilities):
    1. Open Terminal window
    2. Type 'sudo rm -rf ' (Not the ' marks, just what is between them. Yes, that is a space on the end. _Do not press enter yet_.)
    3. Drag the offending folder into the terminal window. Its path should be entered after the text you have typed. Click in the Terminal window to switch back into Terminal (from Finder).
    4. Press enter/return.
    5. Type your admin password.
    6. Wait until the prompt appears again (may take some time).
    7. Quit Terminal.
    Follow the above instructions *carefully and exactly* (rm -rf is capable of deleting anything).
    Hope this helps...

  • Drag drop photo import to aperture folder why auto new project folder appear .

    i do import photos from desktop  to folder that i want in the aperture libary  . as soon as i drag and drop photos automatically new peoject folder appear in the libabry as name untitled project.. why? i dont want that new project folder.  i try to delete that folder and my picture all automatically deleted from library.
    also if i try to delete photos from preject folder .. it completely deleted from master library .. picture will be lost.. why?
    i drag and move pictures to  brand  new album or folder .. then try to delete wanted project folder - master picture are all gone.
    now i have at least 30-40 of untitled project folder in the library ... pictrure are not movable i meant you can move but u still have to keep old project folder to avoid master picture can not be deleted ...
    someone help me? did i make myself clear?

    You might read the manual or the Help as this is all covered there.
    If you want to import to a specific project use the File -> Import option. You can select your destination there.
    Every photo in a Library is in a project. Projects are the basic building block of the Library. That's why.
    Folders don't contain photos. They can contain Projects or Albums. These contain photos. Albums don't contain the actual photos, just links to them. So if you add a photo to an Album and then delete the project... you delete the photo.
    Remember: you don't move photos to an Album, you add them.

  • How do I remove an empty gmail folder from my iPad2?

    How do I remove an empty gmail folder from my iPad2?

    I Think that you had a corrupt email or an email with a really large attachment in that folder and it is now causing the mail app to crash. When the app closes and goes back to the home screen, that is an app crashing. I would try to delete this folder on the server. Log into your Gmail in a web browser and try to delete it there. If you delete it there, that will delete it on the iPad.

  • Working in Pages a folder with the Pages icon in a folder appeared on my desktop  I cannot move it delete it do anything to it. Any idea what it might be? Thank you.

    While working in Pages a folder appeared on my desktop with the Pages icon on it. I don't know how it got there. It will not let me move it on the desktop. I will not let me delete it. It will not let me do anything to it. Any idea what I might have done to create this alien?
    Any help greatly appreciated with thanks in advance.

    Restart Finder by pressing option +  command + Esc. Select Finder int he window that pops up and click on the Start/restart button.
    You could also try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist file from Users > your name > Library > Preferences
    Restarting the computer in safe mode , press the Shift key just after you heard the start chime. Keep it pressed until you see the grey apple. See if the folder is gone or can be moved.

  • TS3230 Why aren't Google and Yahoo loading in Safari with Maverics?  After several failed attempts, a "wireless diagnostics" zipped folder appeared on my desktop.  I'm using a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.2

    I updated to Maverics and now yahoo and google do not load in Safari - i get a "connot connect to server" warning.  other websites load just fine. 
    Also, after several attempts to access the aforementioned sites, a zipped file/folder appeared on my desktop titled "WirelessDiagnostics"
    What in the world is going on here?  I attached a screenshot of the zip file.

    Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    www.google.com
    Launch the Network Utility application.
    Step 1
    Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
    Important Note
    Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

  • How to make a Shared mailbox folder appear on everyones mailbox automatically

    Hello, I need to find a way for a Shared mailbox
    folder to appear in everyone’s mailbox automatically – preferably in their favorites. We currently have a Public Folder where everyone in the company can drag or email any suspicious, fishing, etc.
    emails. Unfortunately that is not good enough for our company's upper management. They
    wants me to find a way to add a folder on everyone’s mailbox so they can easily find it under their favorites and drag any questionable messages to it.
    I created a Shared mailbox for this purpose and a folder and I gave everyone access to it. Now
    I’m not sure how to make this folder appear automatically in everyone’s mailbox favorites. If there is a way to accomplish this I would appreciate any suggestions.  I wonder if there is a
    powershellcmdlet that can help me do this. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. For now we are running on a mix environment Exchange 2010/2013, but pretty soon it will be 2013 only. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
     

    I wouldn't recommend this method, trust me this might become mess if doesn't go to right direction. People might use this shared mailbox for their
    own use. Best practice is to create a shared mailbox with some sensible name like [email protected] or
    something like that and then share it on the announcement board or send an announcement mail to all users and ask them to forward their spam, suspicious, fishing mails to this address.

    Hi,
    The Event Viewer can be a great help to determine the root cause of an issue or to find new leads in case regular troubleshooting of Outlook didn’t bring any results.
    Open the Event Viewer:
    Press Win + R and type “eventvwr” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    You may find the Error Entries for Outlook, also Event ID, text description after the crash happens, post the information in the forum and maybe we can find something useful to find the root cause.
    You may know more about Event logs from this article below:

  • I don't have a locked folder to unlock it

    Hello,
    My ipod classic 3 generation this morning was on lock, which it has never been since I got it. So I went online and found a way to unlock it. But unfortunately the only way to unlock it is to have a "locked" folder on my ipod which I do not have. How am I suppose to unlock it when the only way to is not there? Please help!!

    I have restored my ipod and tried to restart it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
    I saw online that you are to make your hidden files known and than you delete the locked folder and than my ipod should unlock, is it a lost cause to get it or do I need to get another ipod?
