Files Keep Reappearing

When I delete my files from Robohelp and from the server, they tend to reappear. I believe the project is causing this. What can I do to make this stop.

If files are reappearing after they are deleted this is due to there being a reference to them somewhere inside your project. Have you tried using a find and replace tool to see where they are referenced? The application in RHs own Tools tab makes a decent stab at things if you haven't got another application.

Deleted Files keep reappearing

I've tried everything - there are 12 files which after deleted and emptying trash - keep reappearing on my desktop
I've recreated the Trash Bin, ran Chkdsk, started in SAFE Mode and deleted, nothing. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to remedy?
thanks

Only have 1 account - that's mine and it is the administrator.
What are these files? (full name & extension?)
When were they created? (date & time?)
By the way - running a machine on just one admin account is a high-risk way of doing things. If something went wrong with this account you would have a huge problem. In these forums we deal with such issues on a daily basis. A spare admin account, fully
tested and documented, is as important as having a spare house key (and for much the same reason!).

Bizarre alias file keeps reappearing in Trash Can...

For the past few weeks, I've had an unknown little file popping up in my Trash Can every time I open up or start up my MacBook Pro.
The name of the file is "␀␀␀õ␀␀.õ␀" (yes, that's exactly what it looks like), it is exactly zero KB in size, is an alias file, and was modified December 31, 1903 at 8pm. It's frustrating because emptying and securely emptying the trash doesn't get rid of it. However, if I try to move it or Get Info about it, it then disappears only to reappear again when I open up the laptop later.
I have verified, repaired and then re-verified disk permissions (which corrected some issues with Airport-related files) and I have verified the disk itself (which turned out to be OK, thank God). I also enlisted the help of a brilliant IT friend of mine who had me do some kind of "sudo" command in Terminal where I drag and drop the file into Terminal to get rid of it, but that didn't work (possibly because I may have inserted the file in the middle of the line of code my friend had me enter, and I can't remember exactly what the line of code was so I can't retry it at the moment).
Since disk permissions and the disk itself appear to be functioning normally I'm not as worried about this little glitch, but at the same time I would much prefer that this gremlin would begone from my system. Please advise! Thanks kindly.

It's just really odd to me that it would occur in the Mac partition of the drive, since it's an issue with the Windows partition.
Haven't gotten around to checking it yet, I'll let you know how it goes.

Empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash

Hello,
An empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash each time I boot my iMac.
Is there any way to prevent this empty folder from constantly reappearing?
Thank you and regards,
Olivier.

I think this issue started in Tiger, however there was some freeware that would automatically empty the Trash on start up. I downloaded that software and it worked. It was called "RecoverTrasher". It worked with Snow Leopard, at least until last week when I had to delete my entire preferences file due to an unrelated issue. Now it no longer works on my iMac.
There is still a link to RecoverTrasher at http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/RecoverTrasher-Download-9415.html/, however, I don't know if it works with 10.6.4. This version is 1.4, and it still references "Tiger", but I downloaded it and put it into my log-in items, shut down and then restated. The icon for it briefly appeared in the dock, and the trash is empty, so it appears to have worked at least this first time with Snow Leopard.
I don't have any relationship with the author of the software, and don't make any representations about the software.

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

That's Windows malware, so it cannot be infecting your Mac. It probably is on your computer as an email attachment. To remove it, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-remove-infected-files/
Also, note that BitDefender is pretty bad at detecting Mac malware. I would recommend removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information about protecting yourself from malware:

Apple Mail 2.1.3 (OS X 10.4.11) deleted message keeps reappearing

I sent a mail that exceeded the maximum size of the recipients mailbox. When the mail-delivery message came back, my system HD was full and the incoming mail could not be stored. After I got my Mac back running, the mail-delivery-error-message keeps reappearing – even after deletion.
When I delete the message in the inbox and in the trash, it reappears as soon as I click on "Inbox". If I open the message and click the "Delete Message" icon, it stays and appears in my trash as often as I clicked it. How can I get rid of that message?
Thanx.

If you know what you are doing it may be simplest to backup all emails and Mail settings and progressively remove Mail settings and files until you find the problem.
Make sure you do not delete more than you have to from the server.
Perhaps start by checking the server via web access to see that it looks OK at that end and does not have your large file stuck somewhere.

HT204003 how do I permanently delete a pass from my passbook account? (It keeps reappearing after being deleted.)

I have a pass in passbook that keeps reappearing after being deleted. It pops up (location sensitive) despite the fact that I have disabled the location services, repeatedly. I need to permanently delete it.

Hi, sophiaskoub.
Thank you for the question. The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer. See the first article on how to disable this feature. The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

FileDialog keeps reappear in Windows after double click

Here's a portion of the code
FileDialog fileDialog = new FileDialog(this,
                    "Choose document from file",
                    FileDialog.LOAD);
            fileDialog.show();
            String fileDir = fileDialog.getDirectory();
            String fileName = fileDialog.getFile();
            fileDialog.dispose();If the user click the OK or Cancel button, the FileDialog works correctly (goes away). But if the user double click the file to open, the code that follows get executed then the FileDialog appears again! It seems that the program never gets out of the function. I don't have any loop enclosing this call so I can't see why it would keep reappearing.
Please help!

Perhaps the button that shows the dialog is located exactly under one of the FileDialog's button?

Deleted emails keep reappearing-GoDaddy delay the cause.. How to relocate to gmail?

For 4 months my deleted emails keep reappearing 3-5 times. After 4 consultations with my web and mail host, GODaddy and 4 with Apple Geniuses and both blaming the other, An Apple trainer opined, and a GoDaddy supervisor Reluctlantly confirmed that there is a long delay in GoDaddy when I delete email in MAIL. Go Daddy sup admitted that they have had this problem for the same period I have been going crazy with it. He suggested that since they did not know when it would be fixed that I move my email accounts (not my web sites) from GoDaddy to Gmail, but not to do itmyself, or I might lose much! Apple genius does not wan to do it, nor does GoDaddy! Any suggestions?

Thank you, Ernie.
These are all IMAP. I see trash on the server and on MAIL. deletine Trash used to work from MAIL, but in last 4 months, if I want something to take effect, I work from the web mail of go daddy and MAIL gets the message.
So you suggest I go to Gmail and set up accounts ( I assume they will walk me through ) (starting from my current gmail acct that my android uses-- or start from scratch?) to receive email addressed to my current email addresses? Then by not transfering out of goDaddy, I won't lose lots of email and mail files, folders in the transition?
There is a discussion on this topic of GoDaddy delays, from 2010 and 2011. So I may not be alone with the problem now.
Best,
Gayle

Deleted shows keep reappearing

Every time my DVR resets or reboots, all shows that I have deleted since Jan 11 reappear. I keep deleting, and the same shows keep reappearing. I have never had his problem before, but it is happening daily since Jan 11 because my DVR reboots every night around 7:00 for some reason. Getting very annoying and Verizon rep's only comment was "that's strange"

Only have 1 account - that's mine and it is the administrator.
What are these files? (full name & extension?)
When were they created? (date & time?)
By the way - running a machine on just one admin account is a high-risk way of doing things. If something went wrong with this account you would have a huge problem. In these forums we deal with such issues on a daily basis. A spare admin account, fully

Downloads shortcut keeps reappearing

Is anyone else having an issue with 10.8.2 where the Downloads shortcut keeps reappearing next to the trash bin on the dock after you delete it? I delete it daily and every time I reboot it's back... This started after I updated to 10.8.2 and it is making me crazy.
I don't if this is one of these weird issues where Apple re-creates a plist file with this preference on boot or login with some varible for the Download shortcut.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hello,
Try this. Delete the Shorcut again.on Finder Menu>Go hold Alt/Option. Select Library. Look for Saved Application State. Delete com.apple.findersavedState. Reboot
If that doesnt work and if its ok with you resetting the dock then might aswell deleting the preference list of dock.
On Users Library>Preferences and drag the com.apple.dock.plist on the desktop and restart.

Mail account won't stay deleted, keeps reappearing.

Hello ... An apple mail account won't delete. It keeps reappearing when I restart mail. I've gone into system preferences, mail preferences, unchecked 'enable this account', unchecked 'include when checking', etc. I can delete it, create my new mail account and things are good until I exit out of Mail, then when I reopen, the old account reappears and the new one is gone. They are POPs. Thanks.

Just in case anyone has this same problem, none of the above worked except for going into library/mail/maildata/accounts.plist file and removing any reference to the mailbox that won't delete. I removed any inferences, saved the file and it works perfectly now.

Numbers file keeps reverting to old version

I use Numbers (Version 3.5.2) on my MacBook Pro running (Yosemite 10.10.2) and also on my iPad air (running iOS 8.1.3) and iPhone 6 (running iOS 8.1.3). I have a file that I use to keep track of grades that is used across all three devices. In the last month the file keeps reverting back to an old version of the file. After this happens I can go into Numbers on Mac and Select "Revert to..." and select the correct version of the file. I did this yesterday and deliberately reverted to the correct version on the Mac and saved, then opened the iPad, made sure it had the correct version, made a minor change and closed the file. I then opened on the iPhone made sure it was the correct version, made a minor change and saved. I then reopened on the Mac it was the correct version and included the minor changes made on the iPad and iPhone. I saved and then closed the file. Today when I open the file on my Mac, it is back to a version that is over a month old. I again used the "Revert to.." command and was able to get back to the correct version of the file from yesterday. I can't figure out why it keeps reverting to an old version. At first I thought it was pulling in an old version from the iPad or iPhone, but after the experiment yesterday that does not seem likely. Has anyone else had this problem? It is making me seriously question the use of Numbers with documents in the cloud as I can not be certain that the data in the file is correct.
Thanks for any suggestions.

ICloud keeps duplicating my contacts, any of which I need to delete anyways. Is there a way to delete multiple contacts at once? I have been deleting them one at a time, but they keep reappearing.

I have exactly the same problem! I have Outlook 2010 and it does the same thing with my contacts, and calender enteries!! Really frustrating

TM errors on one MBP, not on a second, different files keep choking it

I've had Time Machine running fine using a LaCie external drive on 2 different MacBook Pro's. I still have both, and what I did recently was resuscitate the old one, stick a new user account on it for my wife, and now she's using it. One thing I found was a potential problem was that the computer (network) name had been the same on both machines; I fixed that. I also ran Disk Utility and repaired a bunch of stuff and fixed file permissions on her first-gen MBP.
But Time Machine won't complete a backup using her MBP, even though it works just fine on my May-vintage Penryn MBP. Hers used to back up just fine, but that was about 6 months or so ago with a different user account.
I've checked the syslog, and here's a sample of what it reads:
Nov 4 20:16:41 computer-name /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[258]: Starting standard backup
Nov 4 20:16:41 computer-name /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[258]: Backing up to: /Volumes/LaCie500/Backups.backupdb

Nov 4 20:34:59 computer-name /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[258]: Backup failed with error: 11
This type of entry repeats, only I've noticed that the files referenced in the Error: (-36) lines +always seem to be different+ after each backup. For example, here's the last file referenced in the snippet I quoted:
Nov 6 20:44:22 computer-name /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[2130]: Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES Copying /Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/PDFAnnotationView.nib/ designable.nib to (null)
and here's the first file mentioned in the next entry in syslog:
Nov 6 20:55:37 computer-name /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[2130]: Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES Copying /Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/PDFMetricsView.nib/des ignable.nib to (null)
It often looks like what TM is doing is actually going file-by-file through a bunch of /System/Library and then /Applications folders. Other threads here and elsewhere suggest moving these offending files to the trash and starting TM again, but that seems like a no-go if the files keep changing. Perhaps if I just let TM keep doing this ad nauseum (and it's nauseating) things might work themselves out. But I've already let it spin during an entire night, and things still weren't fixed in the end.
Am I missing anything? Are the "Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD" errors perhaps significant? Are the "to (null)" parts significant?

If you transferred that files using ftp make sure that you used BINARY mode, not ascii.
