Help with deleting EFTFile1.sparseimage from my iMac

Hello guys! I need real hands-on practical help here, please.
I have already asked for help in here but didn't manage to get clear step by step help. Only got confusing redirection to other posts and very technical advice which really confuses me.
First of all, I have an iMac8,1 with Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Memory 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and before the problem occured I had about 260-270 GB of free space out of about 320 GB.
I have discovered that my recycling bin contained a folder Recovered Files with a file EFTFile1.sparseimage. I only noticed it when I tried to Secure Empty the Trash after running the tool Secure Delete Free Space from Internet Cleanup by SmithMicro (I don't know if this might be the cause of the problem).
When I got to deleting stuff from the Trush I noticed it was taking too long, so I decided to transfer the various files out of the trush and delete them individually. When I reached the EFTFile1.sparseimage I discovered this was about 261 GB in size - when I tried opening it, it said the following:
The following disk images couldn't be opened. Reason: corrupt image
After reading some online forums, I now understand that by deleting this sparseimage file I should be able to recover the free space. Some people suggested to use Terminal. Their instructions have been very confusing and also when I attempted once in Terminal, before submitting anything, a warning said I might loose important files.
Then someone suggested to write in Terminal the following:
hdiutil compact followed by the path of the sparseimage file, i.e. path/sparseimagefilename
After performing this the following message appeared: compact failed - corrupt image
I want to stress, this EFTFile1.sparseimage isn't something I created (some forums have mentioned the possibility that some people may have done that for other purposes). The file appeared on my mac by itself. I guess, after using the SmithMicro free space delete?!
If anyone has the patience and knows of a real solution for this problem, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Cheers guys!

Hello jsd2!
Your tip worked wonders! Thank you a million for suggesting the use of Trash It!
Hurray!
PS -
From now on I will try using Disk Utility when deleting and be more careful when erasing free space, ensuring the process isn't interrupted.
Just in reply to noondaywitch, the reason I used Internet Cleanup from SmithMicro is simply because when I bought it a) I didn't know the full purpose of Disk Utility, b) when I was in the Apple shop they had Internet Cleanup on their shelf, so I assumed it was a good product to use - afterall, you assume that the products you see in their shops are endorsed by Apple, therefore good to use. Don't you think?

I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. Help!

I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. I have somehow got green underline in text ads, pop up ads that come in from the sides of the screen and ads that pop up selling similar products all over the page wherever I go. Its getting worse and I have researched and researched to no avail. I am really hestitant to download any software to remove whatever it is that is causing this problem. I have removed and reinstalled chrome. I have cleared Chrome and Safari cookies. Checked extensions, there are none to remove. I need to find an answer on how to get rid of these ads. Help please!

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How can I delete PDF files from my iMac desktop?

Not on my system,When I try to dump if off in the trash it will not go. I get a message that says this file cannot be removed. I also tried going to File and clicking on Move to Trash. No dice.

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Did you just remove it from the dock?
If so, then it is still in your applications folder.
If it is really deleted, then you need to get it back from your time machine back up if you have one or or from a OS install disk if you have one.

I want to turn off Documents and Data iCloud syncing (in Sys Prefs on iMac) but it insists on deleting all docs from my iMac! HELP!

I don't want to sync my 'Documents and Data' with iCloud any more (iMac, iPhone and iPad). When I go into iCloud in System Prefs and try to uncheck the Documents and Data box it tells me 'all docments stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac'. Really need to keep all my docs and quite shocked that iCloud would even consider deleting them from my iMac. Does anyone know any way round this other than backing everything up and restoring it after it's been deleted? Thanks!

Hi doodlebuglondon. I understood you throughout the thread as I have the same situation. I turned it on, then decided immediately to turn it back off. It then gives you the scary warning, assuming you understand under what circumstances documents got stored in the iCloud. Like you, I had no idea. But I did see 5 GB of 5GB available on iCloud Storage, which was a hint. So I opened a folder with some Pages documents, turned off Documents & Data, clicked the big scary "Delete from Mac" button. If it had really deleted my iWorks documents, like you, I would have had to restore perhaps 40 or 50 disparate folders. Whew!
Did it work out OK for you? I note you were very clear in pointing out you hadn't actively put anything in iCloud, but who knows whether Apple magically puts stuff in iCloud for you. I couldn't find that explained anywhere in Apple's "instructions", but I'm sure it's buried in there somewhere.

How do I delete an App from my IMAC?

I want to delete some app's that are no longer relevent, e.g. US Open Golf Tournament. I deleted them from my IPAD but can't figure out how to delete from my IMAC. Delete key doesn't do it and there is no "move to trash" option. Help doesn't cover it.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

Help with inserting/removing integer from a specific index

I have an IntList that I am adding methods to and an IntListTest driver that allows me to add those options to test. I am having difficulty adding the two methods:
public void removeAt() - removes the value at a specified location at given index with consideration of the size of the list when user enters a valid position
public void insertAt(int index, int newValue) - inserts integer and puts it in the specified index of list however...i also have to take into consideration the size of the list as the user enters a valid position
I started on the insertAt(int index, int newValue) method:
// **Inserts an element to the list at a specified position
public void insertAt(int index, int newValue)
IntNode newnode = new IntNode(newValue, null);
for (int index =0; index < count; index++)
if(list[index] == newValue) //error occurs, brackets pertain to arrays, correct?
//if list is empty, this will be the only node in it
if (list == null)
list = newnode;
else
//temp point directed to the last thing on list, but want to be
//able to insert any where, specified location
IntNode temp = list;
while (temp.next != null)
temp = temp.next;
//link new node into list and insert
temp.next = newnode;
count++;
}First off, how do I write the method so that the user specifies a value at a given index and is located...From what I understand, this portion of the insertAt method is stating that the temp point will go directly to the last index:
//temp point directed to the last thing on list, but want to be
//able to insert any where, specified location
IntNode temp = list;
while (temp.next != null)
temp = temp.next;Here's where I am having complications, because I don't know where to go from here. I want the method to be able to insert at any specified index rather than just the last...I will use the insertAt method as an example for my removeAt method, so hopefully I can get input from anyone willing to help...Thanks - using textpad editor with java 1.5 compiler

Thanks for the reply - this is an assignment and I'm dealing with linked structures, I apologize for not specifying that. I have to add a total of six methods to the IntList class (e.g...public int length, String toSting, void removeLast, void search(int input), and the two mentioned - void insertAt(int index, int newValue), and void removeAt(int index)). I figured out the first two, but have had no luck with the remaining one. Here is a sample of that code -
// FILE: IntList.java
// Purpose: Defines a class that represents a list of integers
//Assignment 3 - methods to fill in, declare any variables where necessary
public class IntList
    private IntNode list;          //first node in list
    private int currentSize;
    public int count;
    String [] elements;
    // Constructor. Initially list is empty.
    public IntList()
     list = null;
    //   Adds given integer to list of list.
    public void addToFront(int val)
     list = new IntNode(val,list);
     count++;
    //   Adds given integer to end of list.
    public void addToEnd(int val)
     IntNode newnode = new IntNode(val,null);
     //if list is empty, this will be the only node in it
     if (list == null)
         list = newnode;
     else
          //make temp point to last thing in list
          IntNode temp = list;
          while (temp.next != null)
              temp = temp.next;
          //link new node into list
          temp.next = newnode;
         count++;
    //   Removes the first node from the list.
    //   If the list is empty, does nothing.
    public void removeFirst()
     if (list != null)
         list = list.next;
         count--;
     // **returns the number of elements in the list
     public int length()
          return count;
    // **returns a String containing the print value of the list.
     public String toString()
     StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer("{ ");
                 for (int i=0; i < currentSize; i++) {
                             if (i > 0)
                                 result.append(", ");
                     result.append(elements);
     result.append(" }");
          return result.toString();
     // **removes the last element of the list. If the list is empty, does nothing.
     //public void removeLast()
//Come back to this...
     // **searches all occurrences of a value user enters in the list.
     //public void search(int input)
//Come back to this...
     // **Inserts an element to the list at a specified position
     public void insertAt(int index, int newValue)
     IntNode newnode = new IntNode(newValue, null);
     for (int index =0; index < count; index++)
          if(list[index] == newValue)     //error occurs, brackets pertain to arrays, correct?
//if list is empty, this will be the only node in it
     if (list == null)
     list = newnode;
     else
//temp point directed to the last thing on list, but want to be
//able to insert any where, specified location
     IntNode temp = list;
          while (temp.next != null)
          temp = temp.next;
//link new node into list and insert
          temp.next = newnode;
          count++;
     // **Deletes an element from the list at a specified position
     public void removeAt(int index)
//Come back to this...
// Prints the list elements from first to last.
public void print()
     System.out.println("---------------------");
     System.out.print("List elements: ");
     IntNode temp = list;
     while (temp != null)
          System.out.print(temp.val + " ");
          temp = temp.next;
     System.out.println("\n---------------------\n");
// An inner class that represents a node in the integer list.
// The public variables are accessed by the IntList class.
private class IntNode
     public int val; //value stored in node
     public IntNode next; //link to next node in list
// Constructor; sets up the node given a value and IntNode reference
     public IntNode(int val, IntNode next)
     this.val = val;
     this.next = next;
But as stated, my problem is merely the portion where the the I make adjustments to the "next values" in the associated nodes...
//temp point directed to the last thing on list, but want to be
//able to insert any where, specified location
     IntNode temp = list;
          while (temp.next != null)
              temp = temp.next;I apologize if I am not answering your question correctly but I'm trying to make sense of all this, but need some suggestions/input/advice...Thx.

Help with restoring Address Book from Time Machine

Problem: I really, really need to retrieve someone's number. I know it'll be in an old version of my Address Book. I can see when I open time Machine that my address book is backed up, but no matter the date I go to, it says the Address Book was last modified in 2012! I know for a fact I've updated (and backed up) the Address Book many times since then.
Whenever I try to restore the Address Book, I do Time Machine > Applications > Address Book > 'restore'. But whenever I do this, the mac refuses to open the restored Address Book because it's 'required by mac OS X'.
I don't understand.
Please, how on earth do I dredge my Address Book from the depths of Time Machine?
Please help!
M

Hello mb9236,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with restoring a contact from Time Machine.
It sounds like you are trying to restore the Address Book application. The Address Book application is just the application and does not include the content in Address Book.
Instead, you will want to open Address Book and then launch Time Machine and restore your contacts from there. Use the steps below to restore your contacts form a previous date (in step one instead of opening Mail or Finder, be sure you have Address Book open and in focus):
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily bring back one or more items you’ve lost, or recover older versions of files you’ve changed.
Open a window for the item you want to restore. For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock, or open the Time Machine menu in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine. If you back up to a Time Capsule or other network disk, a message briefly appears while Time Machine connects your computer to the backup disk.
Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the snapshots and backups Time Machine created. Gray tick marks on the timeline represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk.
If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it. The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to restore, select it, and then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk. The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder. Time Machine may ask if you want to re-create one or more folders in order to return a restored item to its original location.
If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.
You can use Time Machine from within many applications. For example, you can open Address Book and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to recover contacts you may have accidentally deleted, or open iPhoto and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to view past versions of your iPhoto albums.

Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
UPDATE:
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Problems with delete overlapping requests from InfoCube in PC

Hi guys,
Iu2019m using delete overlapping requests from InfoCube in Process Chains, but Iu2019m not being able to adjust it to my specific requirement.
For example:
I execute DTP to load InfoCube XPTO with Fiscal Year 2008 and 2009. After this I have to load again, but only for 2009.
In this specific example I want my process chain to delete the 2009 data from my first load, because it is overlapped, and leave 2008 data.
Is this possible? If yes how?
Thanks in advance

It will not work that way.
It will look if the selections are same then it wil delete if not then it will not do that activity.
Overlapping settings which you might chosen is based on the delete overlapping for the same selections..
So in this case the selections are different and hence its not possible.
Thanks

Help with partial image loss from Viewer to Canvas

Hi--I'm brand new to FCP and would really appreciate any help with my problem. I'm creating 2 second video clips composed of four still images (15 frames...or 500ms each) laid back to back, then rendered. Very simple, I know. The individual images are tiff files that look great in the FCP Viewer. But in the Canvas, part of the image is missing. Specifically, in the center of each image there should be a + sign, about 1cm square. This + should remain constant thoughout the short movie, while the items around it vary (from image to image). (This is a psychology experiment, and the center + is a fixation cross.) The problem is that in the Viewer the + sign is intact, but in the Canvas (and the resulting rendered video), only the vertical bar of the + is present! This is true for every individual tiff, and for the resulting movie. The items around the fixation cross are fine. My question is WHY on earth does the central horizontal bar get "lost" between the Viewer and the Canvas? I've read the manuals, but obviously I've got something set wrong. Also, there is a considerable overall reduction in quality between the viewer and canvas, even though I'm trying my best to maximize video quality. Everything looks a bit blurry. Truly, all ideas are welcome. Sorry if it's obvious. Thanks.

steve, i'm viewing on my 23" cinema screen. i read up on quality and know that this is a no-no; that i should only judge quality when viewing on an ntsc monitor or good tv. the problem is that i'll ultimately be displaying these videos on my Dell LCD, so i've got to maximize what i've got. thanks to the discussion boards i have a short list of things to try now. thanks!
