Help!!! HD collateral of DiskDrill/.cleverfile/hlink.ref = trashed but not showing but in it as hidden file

Hi guys,
it seems that the saga of DiskDrill's collateral goes on... sigh ...
I'll try to keep it short and concise...
- More or less 535 GB of space discpreancy
- Culprit is .cleverfile/hlink.ref <= FreeDiskSpace.app reads a uses of 1,28 Tb of space on a HD of 750 Gb (my guess: possible through multi layers of memory!)
- deleted it after deleting DiskDrill.app and all related files, whether in OS X sys or lib...
- deleted the hlink.ref monster of 1,29 Tb => into the trash...
- the .cleverfile dir/hlink.ref never showed up in the trash, trash shows empty as 0 Kb
Steps taken:
- No backup, timecapsule... of any sorts, I have made sure that there is not any processes (at least apprent ones) running and blocking virtual memory
- checked HD
- Repaired permissions
- Erased empty space
- reindexed HD
- restarted MacBook Pro
Results:
- still the same 535 GB of memory discrepancy!
I remembered that in Preferences/Security-Privacy/Firewall/FirewallOptions I had a blocked incoming connection in deep in a folder, deep in that hlink.ref in that .cleverfliel folder! I went to check the blocked connection was still there, so I right clicked opened in the finder!!!
THIS IS SO UNREAL?!?!? SEE IT FOR YOURSELF! IT'S ALL ON THE SCREENSHOT:
- 1 TRASH FOLDER WITH 0 FILES AND 1,28 TB
- ANOTHER TRASH FOLDER WITH 0 FILES AND 5 MB
- HD CAPACITY OF 750 Gb WITH 50 Gb OF MEMORY AVAILABLE
- HD FINDER FOLDER WITH ONLY +/- 160GB OF USED MEMORY ACCOUNTED FOR
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME AND GIVE ME A TERMINAL OR SUDO COMMAND TO DELETE THAT HIDDEN FOLDER FROM THE TRASH BIN!!!
PLEASE... HELP ME SOLVE IT THIS MISTERY OF HIDDEN FOLDER...
Thanks a million...
Max
P.S.: Guys, if there is a lesson out it, is the following I will never use DiskDrill, ever again! it isn't worth it at all, it just creates a mess!

Hi xmetienne,
The Mac operating system may have difficulty emptying the Trash if it contains files with names containing special characters. If you rename those files, you should be able to Empty them from the Trash. See this article -
You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1526
Very likely the files or folders with names starting with a period, such as .cleverfiles are treated in this fashion.
Renaming files and folders is described in this article -
OS X Mountain Lion: Rename files and folders
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10646
Note that while the article says it is about Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, the same procedure applies to Mavericks.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

This is a user supported frum, so making threats really doesn't help, besides which it's not like any of us can really make a dent in Toshiba's bottom line despite how many people we think we can influence. Unless those people were standing in line to buy a Toshiba product cash in hand, and you pulled them out, it really doesn't add up for them.
At this point it would probably be better for you to use the 800 number. Have all your e-mails ready to forward, if needed, to whoever you end up talking to. Don;t let them off the hook. An hour on the phone is much better than weeks passing e-mails through a support site. Also contest the charge with your bank or credit card.

Are the apps checked to be synced to the iPod and did you click on the sync button in Tunes?
Were the apps purchased fro the same accoubnt signed into in the iPod?
Are the apps compatible witht he iPOd model and iOS version?
Do you have restrictions set that prohibit instaling apps?

Finder requires password to delete files, Trash does not show deleted files. Please help me resolve.

Deleting folders/files causes the password pop up interface to appear, does not seem to matter where the file/folder is. After deleting, it should appear in the trash, but does not. Moving files is not affected, with the exception of moving files into Trash. This did not happen in the morning.
Accessing ~/.Trash gives following message "The folder “.Trash” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." .Trash is hidden, and i can't view its permission from the Get info page.
I am the owner of the laptop, i don't understand why this is happening. The other thread with similar problems involved a software upgrade and had problems with moving files also, whereas my MBP was okay this morning, i didn't do anything else from then till now.
i did a ls -al ~ on the terminal, relevant lines as follows
drwx------
10 root staff
340 Jan 18 02:09 .Trash
compared to desktop, which i had no problems (yet, not sure)
drwx------+
30 Mac   staff
1020 Jan 18 02:08 Desktop
i don't understand the notation, reading up about them does not clarify any more then to confuse me further.
My user is "Mac", ~/ goes to folder "Mac"
Please help, I have tried booting from save mode, and it is the same.

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
    sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

Vendor Ref No. does not show in Journal Entry for AP Credit

AP Invoice journals show the vendor reference number in field Ref 2. However, when creating an AP Credit memo, the vendor reference number does not show in the journal for the credit memo, instead the field Ref 2 is used for the base document number.
I have two clients who have pointed out that they would expect to see the vendor ref number in the Ref 2 field in the journal when an AP Credit is created, as this is the functionality for Goods Receipts and AP Invoices.
Both clients are currently manually updating the Ref 2 field in the journal for AP Credit, so that in the BP account transactions view they can sort field Ref2 by vendor reference number.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a work around for this?
Thanks,
Lianne Plant

Sales Document Flow - Ref. Value not showing correct currency

I have a question about document flow currency in ECC6.0. We recented upgraded to ECC6.0 from 4.7 and noticed the changes to document flow. We are a US based company with sales offices in Europe. Our European offices are finding that that document flow in ECC6.0 shows in base currency of USD. Even thought the sales order was entered in EUR euros. Is this intended to be this way; since it is causing our offices in Europe some confusion? I searched forums an SAP notes and did not find any references. Has anyone see this in ECC6.0
Example Document Flow: Line Level (I do not see Ref Value at header level)
Note Sales Document was entered in EUR euros.
Document     Quantity     Unit     Ref. Value     Currency
Standard Order 0025082768 / 10     12 EA     5,207.54 USD
...Delivery 0080211725 / 10     12 EA
.....Picking request 20100423 / 10     12 EA
.....Handling unit 0001221687 / 1     12 EA
.....GD goods issue:delvy 4901261948 / 1     12 EA     1,690.08 GBP
...Invoice 0092006736 / 10                           12 EA     5,207.55 USD
Accounting document 0092006736     12 EA
If I highlight top line in document flow, I see the following in lower part of screen. This is the currency entered on the sales order.
0025082768     10          12     EA     3,847.80     EUR

Smile,
Thanks for pointing those configuration points out.   I checked my system and found the following. I do not see any change documents for the configuration points, so they have been set this way since our implemenation in 2005.
XD02 is customer master change, the customer on my order is set to EUR in sales in distribution tabs.
OX02 - Company Code
1000     Middleton     USD...ok
2000     London     GBP   ok
2100     Munich     EUR...ok
2210     Amsterdam     EUR...ok
4000     Hong Kong     USD...ok
I think OVX5 is not set correctly, should be same as OX02. If I change them, do I need to run an update in the system for old data? Or is it as simple as changing the value here? I'm hesitant to change this not knowing how this will affect the system. Do you know?
OVX5 - Sales Org
1000     Middleton     USD...ok
2000     London     USD   should be GBP
2100     Munich     USD   should be EUR
2210     Amsterdam     USD...should be EUR
4000     Hong Kong     USD...ok

Have downloaded my library from a portable hard drive to itunes but not showing in library on home site please help windows 8

trying to download music from portable harddrive and wont go to I tunes library saving as I tunes link. working on windows 8..... Please help

I'm not sure if iTunes will like to run those files if they're on an external drive. Honestly I've never tried. Have you tried dragging a few songs, maybe an album, into your 'music' part of your drive, then try to import them into iTunes?
I moved computers a couple of months ago and that's waht I did, saved my music to a portable drive, then dragged it back onto my C drive and into the music folder, then imported it into iTunes.

Organized iPod playlists into folders in iTunes, but not showing up when iPod is disconnected. Please help!

I organized my iPod touch playlists into folders in iTunes on my computer (while my iPod was connected to my computer) but when I disconnect and go to use the iPod separately, the playlists that I organized do not show up in the folders they were put into. They're still all jumbled up, rather than in the playlist folders. The folders show up on my iPod, but some are empty and some have a few but not all of the correct playlists in them. How can I fix this?

Freespirit777 wrote:
PLease note that you cannot organise ipod playlists or folders while it is NOT connected to iTunes, as you simply can't see them.
Yes you can.
If I'm not mistaken, this thread was started prior to the release of iTunes 11. iTunes 11 does "hide" Playlists and Playlist Folders, until you turn the Sidebar back on, using CTRL+S. Also, the top menu bar is useful, and that can be turned on with CTRL+B. However, that aside, nothing has changed regarding Playlists, You can (and have always been able to) create, alter and manage Playlists without having an iPod connected to iTunes. You then allow a Sync to synchronise those Playlists to the iPod.
So use CTRL+B and CTRL+S and make sure you have the top menu and the sidebar showing, like so;
Notice the Playlist Folder, that I've named "Test Folder". Inside it is a Smart Playlist ("Rating 1 star") and two regular Playlists ("Dummy list, do not use" & "Test list"). To create new ones of any of these items, click on the + symbol at the bottom of the iTunes Window (I've ringed it). You then see this:
So that sorts out creating and managing them in your iTunes Library.
Freespirit777 wrote:
It looks like ipod doesn't have a folder function which is unhelpful and user unfriendly.
That's not correct. At least, not as far as the Playlist Folders we have been discussing.
Once the Playlists are Synced to the iPod, looking in the Playlists section on my iPod Touch, shows this;
Notice the "Playlist Folder" (named Test Folder) on the list. Delving into that shows the three Playlists that we saw in iTunes. Notice the name of the Playlist Folder at the top, and the three Playlists in it, listed below (in alphabetical order):
One thing that may be of further use to you; while arranging my iPod to get the screenshots, I found that it took two attempts to get the Playlists fully Synced with my iPod (I use "Sync selected playlists" with it). So if your first Sync doesn't put everything onto your iPod, try a second Sync.

The MacBook Pro turn on but not show anything on the screen.. Please help me

I have a MacBook Pro15 2011 2.2 i7. The computer turns on and makes the chime and you can hear it and the fan runs but the problem is that it doesn't show anything on the screen and the apple logo doesn't turn on Also none of the ports works

Try these 3 things
SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Try a pram reset:
Power off, power on, hold the following keys, option,comand,P,R (no commas) hold thes keys till you hear the start chime 2 times, the release. Reboot and see if you have anything
The other thing you can try is a safe (be patient as this will take a little longer boot). power off, power on holding the shift key continue to hold the shift ket till you see the progess bar, then you can release the key, let it finish booting, and try doing some things on the machine. This will disable the 3rd party software so only native sftware will run. f all is well there is a problem with a3rd party application causing the issue. Try rebooting mormal, snd see if things have gotten better.
If not take it to the Apple store and have it disgnosed, they do not charge for this, and will give a price of repair. Most of the time it is a flat rate, if there is no evidene of liquid damage they will repair what is broken for the same price. About 13rd the price of a replacement. If your machine is less than one fear old it should be covered by the warranty, if you have ApplECare you have 3 years from date purchase.
All the best

My 5th gen nano will not sync win 7 .says connected but not show in itunes. driver is updated ,working properly ....help

my 5th gen nano ,has updated driver ,working properly. ipod connected but not showing in itunes ?

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

Any help, text flickers in apps but not icons or pictures...

I have a Ti 1 Ghz and I am starting to have problems with my display. I am not sure what the problem is as it is very strange. When I am viewing text in apps like Word, Safari, Firefox, Textedit, (basically any app), some of the text (sometimes a letter sometimes a word or sentence) gets little black dots flickering/blinking. What's weird is they move with the word instead of staying in one spot (like a dead pixel). So when I scroll the text up or down, left or right the little blinking black dot moves with the text. It also happens when I open certain pictures (moves around with the picture) but not other pictures and so far the text under icons haven't been affected.
At first I thought maybe it is because of Tiger (I just did an upgrade - fresh install about a month ago) so I booted into OS 9 (which is on a second partition) and the same problem occurred.
So I thought dead pixels and I ran the hardware test cd. No little dead pixels showed while testing the video.
So I tried calibrating the display, that had no effect and it is now back at default.
Then I tried all the different settings for smoothing/anti alaising the fonts I could. I regularly boot up in both Japanese and English (main) settings.
So maybe drivers, so I went to the ATI website and downloaded and installed the most recent updates available.
I even thought, hey, maybe my eyes are bad. So I asked my wife whose vision is 20/20 and she agreed it wasn't just my eys.
Nothing has helped.
Has anyone had a problem like this? Does any one know what is wrong? Is it my display itself or maybe the video card?
Just a little info, I bought this PB brand new from the store and within a month the screen went pink when ever the PB was moved. So I had the displayed replaced and it hasn't had any problems since then (September 2003) until now.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,

Ti 1 GHz PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.6) 512 MB Ram, SuperDrive

Hi, elfbp. There is no economical way to replace the screen — and no easy way, either. It's the Powerbook's most expensive part to buy, new or used, and the hardest one to remove and install successfully. Besides, you haven't determined yet that the display is what needs to be replaced, or even that anything needs to be replaced. And the symptom you report is so very odd — anomalous pixels that follow a word or words in your text, indicating that they aren't related to particular pixels or regions in the display — that I have no idea how to go about trying to isolate the cause.
For what it's worth, the service manual for your Tibook model contains the following video troubleshooting section. It's not directed at your particular problem, but your particular problem isn't mentioned at all, and this may suggest some useful procedures or clues:
"No display, or dim display, but computer appears to operate correctly:
1. Remove any connected peripherals.
2. Make sure F1 key is not stuck down.
3. Press the F2 key (with the fn key pressed and not pressed) to increase the screen brightness settings.
4. Reboot the computer—hold down the Control and Command keys and press the Power button to restart the computer. Or, press and hold the Power button for 5 to 10 seconds to shut down the computer, then press the Power button to restart.
5. Make sure using the PowerBook (1GHz/867MHz) power adapter (66-1798)
6. Verify inverter flex cable and LVDS cable connections are seated properly and that the cables are not damaged (refer to inverter board and display module replacement instructions).
7. Replace inverter board.
8. Replace display assembly.
9. Replace logic board."
Note in particular that checking the display cable connections and replacing the inverter board are both suggested before replacing the display itself. And I would be inclined also to replace the logic board before the display, since it's less expensive and much easier to install. By the time you've replaced an inverter and a logic board, you'll be well on your way to spending what the Powerbook is worth in good condition on the current market, and replacing the display may put you over that value. This is not to say you shouldn't do it, but if you could get a comparable used Powerbook in good working order for less than you might spend fixing yours, that's at least an option worth considering.
I have no idea what professional repair options are available to you in Japan, but if I were you, I'd look into them. Don't use any repair service that isn't Apple-authorized.
If you want to plunge inside the Tibook yourself, complete take-apart instructions are here.
