Files are automatically placed in trash, ***?

Hi,
This is an issue that has been troubling me recently. I find that OS X Automatically places files in the trash can, such as the app file for my kindle for mac and also a video editing software I need to use quite often. I have also found mixes and sound files that are integral to projects that I am working on and completely irreplaceable.( These are of course backed up elsewhere).
HAs anyone come across this before? And can anyone tell me how to remedy this very, very irritating issue?

This mysterious disappearance happened to me yesterday, although nothing to do with Kindle.
I'm on a Mac Mini (2010) with Snow Leopard and was working on InDesign (CS5), when it crashed and vanished. Nowhere to be found. Since all the support documents were still in place, I just copied the app file over from my backup drive and it worked fine. Then, hours later, Photoshop & Illustrator disappeared....so I started up MacKeeper. I then noticed the trash needed emptying, but thankfully looked in it first. There were all my missing apps, plus other apps I hadn't even missed yet (iLife apps, Activity Monitor & lots of support documents. Odd things like the Painter brush collection).
Couldn't find anything online about this, other than people have been experiencing it since around 2009 (Snow Leopard debut?) but no one had a clue as to its cause or remedy.
I'm always surprised when Mac techies say they've "never heard of....." some problem before. Is anyone starting to hear about it now? There is little discussion about it, I admit, and it took a while to find the right keywords to get anything.
I placed my trashed files back in their respective locations, took off "admin" priviliges after reading that Apple recommends this, and ran some utility apps. I then backed up my HD to a different external drive, in case there was still something wrong--didn't want to ruin my good BU drive. All is fine so far, 24 hours later.

Webdav and xdb, xml-files are automatically deleted (or hidden)

Hi All.
In our project we have mounted webdav from a Linux box against an IBM database server running AIX and Oracle 11g.
The file system on the Linux box is mounted to the xdb-schema on the dbserver.
When placing xml-files into the database through the webdav-catalogue on the Linux-box the files are copied over, but almost immediatly removed (or hidden) from the target directory in the database.
I´m thinking there might be a trigger that tries to validate the xml-file against an xsd that isn´t registered in XDB. The reason for this is that when suffixing these files with something other than .xml the files are kept visible to all users.
What I´d like to know is how to disable this check/trigger, and which trigger does this.
Can anybody tell me if my assumtion is correct, and if yes, how to disable this checking?
Our users in the project will also be given access to folders through this webdav mount, and they will use this as a storage space for other xml-files as well. Files we do not have xsd´s for. Another function for this webdav directory is to serve as a source directory for ODI, and ODI validates the files against the xsd when transferring data to the database, so we don´t need this extra validation in the database.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi,
What's the database version? (select * from v$version)
When placing xml-files into the database through the webdav-catalogue on the Linux-box the files are copied over, but almost immediatly removed (or hidden) Does that mean you see them for a short period of time, and then they disappear, or you never see them at all?
Are you using XML DB events?
You can check if there's any resource configuration defined, and that may explain this behaviour :
select x.*

   , xmltable(
       xmlnamespaces(default 'http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/XDBResConfig.xsd')

CR files are automatically checked out (with Visual Source Safe 2005)

Dear CR Support,
i have a strange problem. Every time i open my solution in V.S. 2008 (V.B.) all my CR files are checked out automatically.
I must do "Undo Check Out" every time.
I Use:
Visual Basic 2008
Crystal Reports 2008
Visual Source Safe 2005
For any extra information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Navarino Technology Department.

Dear Don hello,
sorry for that.
I have made some tests and i notice the followings:
I'm working in a CR file in design mode. I make the changes that i want, i click save and then "Check In" in order the changes to be saved in VSS. If i Don't "close" the CR File (the open tab of Visual Studio) the CR file stays "Open" in design mode. If i right click over the tab of the CR and click "close", the CR closes. This is what i mean "Open" and "Closed" file.
- When i open the solution with the crystal reports files open (design window open), the files are checked out automatically.
- When i open the solution with closed the reports, i have no problem. But if i try to open (in design mode) the crystal reports files, the report is checked out automatically (this is not happening to all reports).
I will try to reinstall the SP2 again.
Is there any newer Patch after the SP2, in order to install it?
Thank you for your reply.
Best regards,

In new version of Thunderbird it's not possible to define file types to be recognized automatic - because of this files are automatically opened while sending

When I send attachments - for example graphic file (.mi extension from CoCreate's Designer drafting program) Thunderbird "opens" it (while sending it) as it is text file and thus makes teh message long (thousands of rows). I'm now solving this so that I make zip file. Also, there is no problems with Word's, Excel's, Adobe's files which are recognized automatically by Thunderbird.
In old versions of Thunderbird I've just defined the type of each file extension (which was not recognized automatically by Thunderbird) and Thunderbird didn't open an attachment while sending the mail. In last version there is no such possibility and this is a step back.
I'm sending you an example...

I can understand that its a bit iritating, but I dont think your email is larger than if it wasnt showing. look at "show code" and compare. Your .mi-file has to be sent within the email, either in plain view or hidden.

InDesign files are automatically copied when opening.

I'm using Creative Cloud InDesign CS6 on a mac. My current OS info is: OS X 10.8.3, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7.
I'm trying to open files I've recently(within an hour) worked on. When I try open an InDesign file, a copy is automatically created and it's the copy that opens, not the original. I've tried double clicking to open, right clicking and then selecting open, opening the file from within InDesign, and the same thing continues to happen.
I can open the copy without a nother copy creating, but I don't want to have to go through the mess of sorting through all of these copies. What could be causing this?
The file highlighted in blue is the one I want to open, yet copies continue to automatically open when I try.

No. It wasn't checked. I've noticed that if I rename the file in the file folder(not within the program), it will let me open it without creating copies.

Files are not deleting in trash.

Every time I drag a file to trash, it does this ^^
And it never stops loading.
It will stay on my desktop until loading is finished.

I saved the downloads as all files.then i opened the disc i saved but i can't find that.was this problem solve when i save downloads as 'binary file'.

Applescript: File remains "open" even if trashed and gone

re: simple text file written in AS alone, outside Finder:
1. I write to a file like this:
set thisFile to open for access aFilePath with write permission
— do stuff
close access thisFile
As long as "do stuff" executes OK., the close access is hit and I can use the file over and over. I have no problems with this script. But:
2. If “do stuff” hits an error, it leaves me with an unusable file. Even when the file is trashed and gone (Secure Empty Trash), if I ever try to use the same file name, AS will first create the file, but immediately pop an error that that file is already open before I can do anything else. The system is remembering the file name and flagging it as open (apparently).
3. So I try to close it:
set thisFile to file aFilePath
close access thisFile
and I get no error on the first line but a “ ... [correct path to "thisFile"] cannot be made into type file" error on the second line.
Question 1: If "thisFile" is a file on the first line, then why not on the second? Why does "close access" which works in item 1 above, fail here?
So any new file name works as long as "doStuff" works, but I can't use any file name that didn't close the first time through. I cannot seem to close the file after the fact, even when it's been trashed.
Question 2: how do I tell the system that this file is not open or does not exist?
Great thanks for your help!

I'm guessing that this is happening to you while running the script in the script editor.
When a script is run in the editor it is the editor that actually has the file open and if the script exits without closing the file the editor gets hung. Any open files are automatically closed when the application exits but as it is the editor that has the file open the file is not closed when the script exits only when the editor exits. So one work around is to close the editor and restart it.
However the correct way to handle this is to the file work in a try on error block. See Introduction to AppleScript Language Guide specifically the section Close access, the command used to close an open file, for more details.
The basic idea
set aFile to choose file
set fp to open for access aFile
try
--file reading and writing here
on error e number n
--deal with errors here and don't resignal
end try
close access fp

Automatically placing images into frames?

Hello all, I really hope im in the right part of this forum
anyway, I work at a print shop, we layout our gang runs in indesign, our files are automatically renamed to 88888-F.xxx and 88888-B.xxx (front/back, xxx being the extension jpg/pdf/tiff/etc)
the layouts are vertically symmetrical
is there anyway I can manually drag 88888-F into its frame and have 88888-B automatically be placed into the frame on the other side?
Thanks in advance!

I not aware of a process that allows you to use a manual drag and drop. Not sure if the event listener would work here. What you could do is using the ImageCatalog.jsx that comes in the sample JavaScript is create a script that selects a folder or files and places then in the order you require.

After an automatic update my files are gone. How do Iget them back?

after an automatic update my files are gone. How do I get them back?

Do you know the name of any of the files you are looking for? Do you have a Time Machine backup? Can you search (using spotlight) for any of these files?
Any chance they were in the trash when you started the update? Any chance they were on an external drive which is NOT plugged in at this time?

I have dragged 2 files to the trash bin but I cannot delete them from the trash bin. It keeps telling me these files are in use when they are not. How do I delete these files? One is a txt file and the other is an xls file

From the Finder menu select 'Secure Empty Trash'. If this or the suggestion above doesn't resolve the problem take a look at the various suggestions in this link:

What is happening when recovered files show up in my trash everyday. These files are recovered from my Iweb.

What is heppening when folder entitled "Recovered Files" show up in my trash daily for the last 3 days?
They are apparently recovered art thumbnails from my I web.

Annoying, but nothing to worry about.
Sometimes the OS just tries to rescue files you've trashed.
It will happen almost every time if they were built-in templates (but the Application will replace them anyway)
Just empty the trash.
