"ghost" file wont go away

I am trying to post my first iWeb site and I made the mistake of having some images with spaces in their file names. I fixed the names and reinserted them. All but one worked fine. One image refuses to change names in the file. The original name was "storm pano.jpg" and no matter what I name it, "storm pano.jpg" returns causing it to be a broken picture box.
I have put other pictures in its place and they work fine but when I put the one I want back in there, iWeb somehow knows the original file name and uses that.
I have copied the file to a new location on my HD, I have renamed it 20 different things, uploaded the site with no picture in the place at all, deleted the entire folder on my desktop and resaved the entire site. Nothing works. HELP!!!!!!!

FIxed, kinda. I changed the file size in Photoshop and re-saved it. I am assuming iWeb uses the creator date or even the dimensions to maintain some sort of references file. What I do not understand is why it was only this image that iWeb would not change since it changed 3 other files.
iWeb team - PLEASE fix this!!!

ICloud Photos 'Ghost Files'

I have just started using iCloud Photo Library recently. It took a whole night to upload the entire library into iCloud, but then I found out that there 5670 photos and 92 videos in iCloud (5762 total), whereas in fact I have only 5636 photos and 92 videos (5738 total) in my iPhone. I went to icloud.com and Photos section also shows 5738 photos and videos, which is in line with my iPhone. I went to my Mac and check the storage of iCloud from System Preferences and it says 5762 photos and videos total, which is the wrong number. I believe there are 24 'ghost files' in iCloud that I really want to delete, but I don't know how to do so. Anyone can help me?

I then went into Finder and deleted the original copies in my Documents folder on my local hard drive.
NO !!!
I work away from home a lot and had planned to access my files through iCloud drive. It is impossible to rely on it,
Cloud = Your stuff on someone else's hard drive. ANY data that is remotely important to you should be backed up in multiple locations, (the cloud can be one of those locations assuming you are not too worried about your files being compromised.)
>> My question is - have I done something wrong or is this an inherent fault with iCloud drive? <<
Any cloud system is subject to data loss or a complete malfunction. Apple's system is probably more reliable than others but still can fail.

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

As a happy user of the Matrox RT.X2 for many years, and later an equally happy user of a Matrox MXO2, I can say from experience that it is highly unlikely that this problem has anything to do with the Matrox hardware!
Can you open a new blank project, and save it?
If you cannot import your faulty project into a new project, can you import the sequence from your faulty project?

My ipod touch 4g is turning up or down by itself, and the speaker icon wont go away

Okay this first started yesterdy morning, when my ipod touch4g was acting funny it wouldnt turn off, so i thought if i plugged it in it would fix itself, so i thought restoring would help it,made it worse it started turning off and on apple logo came on a few times, now i got it where i can turn it off and on okay but now i cant seem to controle the volume, and the speaker icon is showing and wont go away, and when i try turning it down when i play a song or a video, it will turn back up by itself, or it will turn down by itself,
what would be the best way to fix this without taking it in? the nearest apple store is dallas and i dont wanna spend all the money in gas to go up there, and then see what arm and leg i gotta cut off to get them to fix it.
should i restore and resync it one more time or should i start saving for a new ipod along with the new computer im needing?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HELP! Ghost files and empty Applications directory

Just to set the stage of the issue, here's a what little background I have....
Im a long-time MacOSX user, and requested a Mac when starting my new job. I started today and was given a hand-me-down Aluminum 27" iMac, running 10.6.8. After some minor cleanup of someones old documents I started working, soon I stumbled into the "Home" directory and found the directory like this screen cap...
http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad355/KeyMedia/fileissues.jpg
Greyed out, ghosted files!? From my first impression, it look like something I could just hopefully trash and move along, but it wasn't. The "Move to Trash" progress bar/dialog box, got stuck. I then went into "Force Quit" and re-launched the Finder. After seeing that the files didn't make it to the trash, I tried it again with the same results. THEN, I started digging around the home folder directories, and discovered that only 2 of the many applications that were already installed, populated in the "Applications" folder within the home directory!? I had previously launched several apps before hand from the "stacks" folder that was already in the dock, as well as selecting the Applications shortcut in the sidebar of the finder, which populated all the apps!? Seemed very strange and something I have never run across. And just FYI, there is only one user account on the iMac.
A couple more qwirky things that happened through the course of the workday, was when trying to save to the "Desktop", made those files (.PDF & .RTF) invisible. When I say invisible, I could not find those files anywhere on my system visually, but when going back into text-edit and doing a "Save-As" back to the desktop, the were visible on the Desktop, but only in the Save Dialog Box?! After that finding I rebooted my Mac and after reboot, The files automatically appreared on the desktop, and didn't have that problem anymore today.
One more little thing....After the final reboot, a "ds.store" file appeared on my desktop?! I haven't trashed that file, which it probably will not let me. If im halfway correct, the "ds.store" files are normally placed within folders and directories to keep the MacOS file structure in place, and possiblly if deleted that it will get regenerated upon reboot, but again never tried to move this particular file fromt he desktop.
Looks to me like some preferences, or ds.store files got out of place and the file structure for the OS is out of place and isn't staying clean, but that is a big guess.
If anyone has any insight into these issues, what me be causing it, or what can fix it...I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks in Advance my fellow mac users!!

1. Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
2. Most of your applications are in the Applications folder at the top level of the drive, not the one in the home folder.

My i pod shows my charger and itunes so i download i tunes. But itunes said i had to do my passcode but the charger and itunes symbol wont go away long enough for me to enter my passcode! what do i do?

My ipod shows my charger and itunes, so i download itunes. But then itunes says i musst enter my passcode on my i pod but the charger and itunes symbols wont go away long enough for me to enter my passcode. what should i do?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

"Ghost files" when exporting to CD for PC or DVD player

I'm exporting my photos from iPhoto and then burn them to a CD (for friends that are using PC or want to watch them on their DVD player) ghost files appears like duplicates. So if I burn 100 images it will be 200 when opening on a PC or on a DVD player.
I tried it on my Xbox360 and the same thing appears.
Is there some way to get around this?
PB 12" G4 / Mac mini intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)
PB 12" G4 / Mac mini intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The "extra" file is probably an icon (resource fork file).
These resource files are only used by the Mac OS and can be removed from the image file prior to burning the PC CD.

A strange ghost file in Trash which can not be erased? Any help?

A strange doc in Trash -named ¨ð?, ïÖó.l—s
- resides in the trash bin
-is alias
-size zero Kb
-can not be moved opened or deleted
-no created or modified dates on display
in info window tells me that it's file with unknown access.
It doesn't cause any visible harm I just want to find out how this file appeared and how to get rid of it.
-when did search for invisible files
found it in Bootcamp>.Trashes> 501 which is a folder, empty.
(The Bootcamp partition is empty, I created it when purchased the laptop just in case I install Windows someday. When I open it there is just empty Desktop folder ,size zero Kb)
Here it gets weird with this 501 folder - on the finder window is displayed that it is created on 27 April 2025 at 7.33pm.
Now is the year 2011, so how a folder can be created in the year 2025???
It gets even funnier with the dates - when I go right click>Get Info, on display I see that this folder is created Sat, 20 August 1983 10:12 AM (!!!!!!
and modified on 27 April 2025 at 7.33pm.
Tried to move it to Trash - the “Preparing to move to trash” animated bar appears, keeps moving forever but no result at all.
Any help with deleting this ghost file (without reinstalling whole system)?
My Mac has OSX 10.6.8
Thanks for any help,everyone!

I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/index.php?mforum=iworktipsntrick
Is a good resource.
