Find: /dev/fd/3: Not a directory and find: /dev/fd/4: Not a directory

hi everyone, my problem is that my computer technician installed iwork on my imac and i do not know if its pirate or original and when i type this (sudo find / -iname "iworkserv*" -print) in the terminal to see if i have a trojan or not, find: /dev/fd/3: Not a directory and find: /dev/fd/4: Not a directory, comes up. i have downloaded the trojan removal program from securemac and it cant find any trojan. i have also donwloaded couple of antivirus programs to check and still it says clean. i have also asked my computer technician he says that the iwork was original but i dont trust him. so can anyone tell my why the two lines are showing up and what do i need to do?

The error messages from the find command are normal.
As for what you should do, the answer is simple, in my opinion. If you don't trust the technician, which you obviously don't, and you care about the security of your Mac, which you obviously do, then your only choice is to back up your user data, erase the hard drive, and reinstall the OS and all your other software from known-good copies that you downloaded yourself. Scanning for malware is a waste of time.
You should also assume that this technician has read all of your files that were present at the time, including such things as banking passwords.

  • Dism - The directory could not be completely unmounted - process explorer can't find open processes and unmounting fails

    Hi all,
    Installed WAIK on server 2008 R2 64 bit. I'm setting up some boot images, and am having a real hard time getting drivers to integrate into the driver store in the boot images.
    What I'm finding is that when adding drivers to the boot image the gui hangs part way through over 50% of the time using Dell 760 or HP NX9420 drivers extracted to pull out the inf files. It's really flakey and will work after a couple of attempts and when the wind is right.
    The main problem is that when the process fails the image is left open, so using dism to list mounted images and then umount the open images is the only way to try again.
    However, some images won't unmount and the unmount process displays the following:

    Hi all,
    had same problem unmounting the wim file using Windows 7 Pro 32bit.
    My solution was: Checking for "wrong" Dism.exe
    Preparing a WinPE I followed the steps in the help of AIK. I ran the
    copype.cmd batch. When it was finished, it said that it added something
    to the path environment variable. It was clear that it did so in order
    to find the tools needed for the further steps. As long as everything
    worked, I didn't give it a second thought. Then I could not unmount the
    WIM.
    I looked at the PATH variable: NO entry pointed to the directory where
    dism.exe was in. (In my case that would have been
         c:\program files\windows aik\tools\x86\servicing
    Magically, dism.exe started from everywhere though.
    Doing a      dir c:\dism.exe /s /a     showed I had a Dism.exe in
    c:\windows\system32, as well. This one has a file size different from
    the correct one. Obviously I had started this one (because PATH points
    there).
    Starting the correct dism.exe let me unmount the WIM without problems.
    Regards,
    Robert

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

  • How do I exclude directories from Finder search results? I'm trying to find the biggest FILES on my computer and it keeps showing me "Macintosh HD" as the biggest, how can I search for files of type "NOT folder/directory"?

    Basically I've lost 10GB of free space over the last few weeks so my plan was to search for files modified in the last 2 weeks in order to figure out which ones are big and where that space went.
    So I open finder, go to "File > Find", and enter a search:
    Modified > In the last 2 weeks
    All fine so far.
    Problem is, it's showing whole directories as results. Which essentially means that when I order the list by size, Macintosh HD is at the top, followed by "Users", then "Applications", then one of my bigger movie files, then "Library", etc.
    How can I do a search which will ignore folders? I want individual files. Knowing that Macintosh HD is the biggest item on my computer and was modified in the last 2 weeks is utterly useless to me.
    Older versions of Finder in OS 9 had a feature where you could search for "files, whose type "IS NOT" folder", but OS X doesn't seem to have such a feature.
    Can anyone help?

    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?

    Hi Dalegu219,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
    You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of these screens:
    Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
    From:
    iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
    If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • How do I find the address of my usb ports so that I can connect a telescope to the macbook. I have tried various commands on terminal and all I get is 'directory or command not recognised'.

    The telescope instruction says open a Terminal and put in ls/dev/* and other such things and all I get back is that none of them are recognised.
    JeffersE

    Why don't you call the telescope company for support and let them explain it to you.  Usually there is software involved with those types of telescopes and if that software doesn't support Mac, it won't matter how or what USB port you plug it into because no drivers or anything will load for it.

  • Windows 2008 R2: SLES 11 Sp3 Guest converted from Vmware OVA to VHD, does not boot on Hyper-V: could not find /dev/sda4

    Hi
    I have a VMWare OVA file with Guest OS as SLES 11 Sp3. I have converted this file from OVA to VHD using Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Solution accelerator. On first boot of this VHD on Windows Server 2008 R2 - Microsoft Hyper-V I get an error that
    "Waiting for device /dev/sda4 to appear..
    Cannot find /dev/sda4"
    I have not even booted this VM once on Hyper-V, and hence not installed any Linux integration Services yet.
    What could be the possible reason for this failure? Any suggested solution?
    Thanks
    Ashwini

    Easiest way (and also applies to Hyper-V 2012 R2):
    Ok, following properly (originally missed the step to mount the root directory of the converted VM as "/mnt" )
    http://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/rescuing-susie/
    Then once chrooted
    mkinitrd -d /dev/sda2
    generated initrd from kdump WITH Hyper-V drivers & VM is usable!
    http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/476780-boot-failure-mkinitrd-does-not-understand-that-dev-sda-has-become-dev-sde
    Can't believe that it was so painful to find the right info easily
    Just to finish it off, after converted machine boots fine, there is a small
    matter of removing tools & fixing networking as per links below:

  • At a Genius Bar appointment yesterday, we determined that I needed to go to Mountain Lion from Lion.  I purchased Mountain Lion at the Bar, and paused the install so that I could resume from home.  Now I can't find it to resume. Not in Downloads. ?????

    When I upgraded to Lion, my Parallels stopped working and I got a Bootcamp error message.  It had worked fine for the prior year.  I upgraded to Parallels 7.  No luck. At the Genius Bar, the Genius uninstalled Bootcamp.  No luck.  I still get "The Boot Camp partition /dev/diskOs4 used by Hard Drive 1 is missing."
    Another Genius suggested upgrading to Mountain Lion.  While at the Bar, I purchased Mountain Lion and then we paused the install so that I could resume it at home.  Once I got home, I can't find the Mountain Lion installer to resume.  It's not in the Downloads file.  Any clue?
    My business programs all run on Windows, so I have to get it operating.  The Genius Bar isn't much help.  Does anyone know how to get Mountain Lion installed?  How to get Parallels working?

    The "Geniuses" (and I use that word in sarcasm) at the Bar are lying to you. Upgrading from Lion to Mt Lion will not fix whatever problems you are having. In fact it will most likely make them worse.
    If you want to try installing Mt Lion to fix the problems you are having you will need to open the Mac App Store link in your Dock, Login to your Apple ID account for the MAS and go to your Purchases area. Mt Lion should be in there and you will be able to do a proper download. Once you either set your Mac into sleep or shut down and then left the internet connection at the Bar all record of that download was lost. So you will need to restart it again from the beginning, like described above.
    Good Luck

  • I have a time capsule that has worked flawlessly for several years.  I recently upgraded my iMac OS to 10.8.4 and coincidently (or not) have started having some issues with backups.  When I go into time machine, it struggles to find the time capsule disk

    I have to unplug my time capsule and reboot it.  Is there a diagnostic routine I can run or any error detection I can look for?

    You are absolutely right.. when apple changed significant features in Lion and Mountain Lion .. they introduced a bunch of issues into networking which are bugs to this day..unacknowledged.. and without much that will fix them.. other than your reboot strategy.. which is like.. well that other OS.. where continual reboots are considered normal.
    Old TC may also just suffer from age.. we continually tell people they have a lifespan.. 3years is the reliable span.. after that expect anything.. sudden death.. slow decline.. continual hassles and problems. If the backups are important to you.. then it is telling you in a very clear way.. replace me.. I am no longer happily providing services promised.
    Now to specifics.. we don't know what the problem is.. if we knew we could give some work around.
    The problem is odd in that it doesn't affect everyone.. if it starts .. people find it starts several months in to ownership.. it is never cured.. or even curable.. something like DNS or ARP table is being lost.. but it is not either of those things.
    Is there a diagnostic routine I can run or any error detection I can look for?
    Nothing much shows up anywhere. Including the TC log or local logs. It simply has lost the TC disk but not internet.
    So.
    Some things do help.
    I don't know if you have pondini's resources.. TM is a complex piece of software.. it has multiple issues.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Look at A1 .. load the widget.
    A5 .. verify the backup.
    A4 .. reset TM.
    All of those things can help.. look at some of the typical problems.. C12 and C17 being the most common since Lion.. and exacerbated in Mountain Lion.. not fixed.
    Some suggestions.
    1. Keep names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. See C9 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    2. Do not use 7.6.3 firmware... go back to 7.6.1 or even better 7.5.2 on an old one.
    Firmware downgrade is easy in new utility. Hold down the option key whilst selecting version.
    3. I recommend a very short dhcp lease time.. 20min for example. In whatever device is the router .. that can help keep things up to date.. and use dhcp reservation again to see if the address info helps to keep things updated.
    4. Do turn on ipv6 local link.. which you need to anyway with 6.3 utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    5. If you are using a desktop.. an external drive is faster.. more reliable and easier than TC for Time Machine backups..
    6. Consider using CCC or another backup software.. if you want to continue to use network drive.
    7. Although using 6.3 airport utility has some advantages.. it is also devoid of a lot of tools that are in v5.6 airport utility.. well worth loading into at least one computer on the network.. if you only have Mountain Lion now here is one method.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

  • I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

  • Upload file to global directory in Dev, Q&A and Prod!

    I have an upload application in BSP, that uploads files to for example /usr/sap/BWD/files
    this works in Development, but of course this directory is not available in Production, so BSP won't work there.
    Isn't it possible to use one global directory?
    Right now somebody created for us a directory, that's the same on all 3 systems (Dev, Q, and Production)
    this dir is
    on Development:  DIR_TRANS     /usr/sap/transBW
    on Quality:  DIR_TRANS     /usr/sap/transBW
    on Production:  DIR_TRANS     /usr/sap/trans
    notice the small difference in path in Production... Is there a way to use the DIR_TRANS instead of the real path?
    my application writes data like this:
    fname = '/usr/sap/CBD/files/FILE.CSV'.
    OPEN DATASET fname FOR OUTPUT in TEXT MODE encoding default.
    if sy-subrc gt 0.

  • Home directory is not created and cannot log from client computer

    I am trying to set up MacOsX server. I already have another server which is my DNS server. I am trying to create an Open Directory Master server.
    Server was updated to 10.4.8 MacOsX from the beginning of existence.
    I created couple of users in Open directory domain for testing purposes.
    So, the first problem is, that when I am trying to create a user home directory server does not create it and does not give any errors about that. I tried in bash createhomedir utility, it did not work either, again, no error messages.
    Another problem:
    I set up Open Directory master with LDAP. It was set up correctly, no error messages. At least I did not see any.
    The I tried to connect to the server from my client iMac computer which has 10.4.8 MacOsX as well. So I set up LDAP there in Directory services, it was able to find my server and bind to it. Then when I am trying to login with username and password in Open Directory on the server, it does nor recognize it. No error messages in logs as well.
    However, if I am trying to use ssh from client machine to connect to Server using the names which are in Open Directory on the server it allows me to do so. But of course it says no home directory defined.
    Than you very much for responce!

    An Open Directory Master requires DNS running somewhere. You could have a scenario involving 4 servers where: DNS is provided by Server A, Server B is a Web & Mail Server, Server C providing FTP Services and Server D providing LDAP services with managed preferences and automounting Home Directories (ODM). In this scenario DNS is provide by Server A and any other server requiring DNS using Server A’s DNS. You could expand this scenario if you wanted and have replica (fallover) servers for Servers A, B C or D, or if you are the frugal sort just one replica server replicating the 4 primary servers.
