I recently found a folder in my trash that I never put in there labeled "recovered files" its full of xpku files. What are those? Can I delete them?! Help!

I'm nervous to delete them! I don't know if the system needs these files to run. Don't answer using "computery" words, I stink at computers, so just a yes or no answer will do. Can I delete these xpku files?

The Recovered Files folder contains temporary files that were used by applications and system processes, which were not properly released and discarded when the application was terminated. This can happen if a program unexpectedly quits, or more commonly if the system crashes in the middle of your work.

    If you are using Apple's Mail app 6.5 is the latest version irrespective of what a previous poster says. It does sound though that you are using a gmail account online via a web browser. Please confirm and fill in missing information.

  • There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting.  With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • I've uploaded my pics to my PC but now I can't delete them from the iPad, the little trash can does NOT appear, PLEASE HELP I have over 6000 photos I need to delete

    I've uploaded my pics to my PC but now I can't delete them from the iPad, PLEASE HELP the little trash can does NOT appear

    That's because you can't delete it directly from the phone.
    Since you synced not imported those pictures to your iphone using iTunes, you will need to do the opposite and unsync the pictures, in order to remove it from your phone.

  • HT4059 Have several books that were purchased recently, when all the sudden they have multiplied having 20 or more copies in my library   How can I delete them because it won't let me use the edit tab?

    Have several books that were recently purchased. This week these books have multiplied into at least 20 or more copies within my library. How can I delete them because it will not let me use the edit tab?

    Do they have the cloud icon on them ? When I had Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'on' I was getting multiple copies of books that were only in the cloud showing on the bookshelf in the app - turning that setting 'off' stopped them showing (you can see what books are available for redownloading, and redownload them, via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app)

  • I put photos from my laptop into my iphone,now I can't delete them. There is no trash can on the screen,but there is for other photos.  Please help.

    I added photos from my laptop onto my iphone 4s,now I can't delete them. There is no trash can for these photos,but there is for others. What have I done?

    Sounds like you used iTunes to sync them to your phone. You will need to use iTunes to unsync them - they can't be deleted on the phone.

  • I found some little black dots n my iPhone 5 screen. I've only had it for 2 weeks. What are they and will apple replace my iPhone for a new one or fix it?

    They should have one in Stock, but you never know. Call your Apple Store and tell them you have an iPhone 5 color and GB, and that you most likely will need a replacement, do they have any in Stock. If yes, go in, if not ask for advice on how to handle your problem.

  • I have 30,000 photos on my trash and can not empty it as it crashes. How can I delete them?

    I have a MAC OSX Version 10,9,5 with iPhoto 09
    It has 4GB memory
    The storage has 69 GB free out of 999 GB.
    578 GB of photos that I am slowly moving to an external hard drive. While moving the photos I have been deleting them from the iPhoto app without being aware that I needed to empty the trash again.
    Now every time that I try to empty the trash, iPhoto crashes.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    The advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Frustrated MAC user

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General
    Turn off item Counts.
    This has worked for some people. That said, there is a likelihood that the database will be damaged.
    Are you just moving photos to the Hard Drive? Why not move the whole Library? What's your aim at the end?

  • I have recently purchased Toy Story 3 in HD for my Ipad 2, however, I cannot view it in full screen. Why is this ? Can anyone help

    I have recently purchased Toy Story 3 in HD for my Ipad 2 but cannot view it in full screen. Why is this ? Can anybody help

    Don,
    Do you have iTunes installed on your laptop? If not, I think you will need it to see your laptop photos on AppleTV.
    After installation, on the menu bar go to Advanced -> Choose Photos to Share and then select the folders you want.
    In respect of printing, only a limited number of recently available printers are compatible. There are Apps which work around this, but I'm not able to recommend one.

  • Under Bookmarks, suddenly 30 listings for identical Bookmarks Bar folder and 30 for identical Favorites Bar folder. I still can't delete them.

    My desktop and laptop are synched. Both have Bookmarks Bar 30x, and Favorites Bar 30x, and can't delete. There was no file like the one suggested earlier, as a fix. Please advise as to my options, I have to scroll for miles before I can get to my Bookmark listings.

    You need to disconnect the computer from the Sync server before trying to repair the bookmarks.
    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Found photos in the trash that I havent put there...

    I came to open my trash today after dropping some odd desktop files in there and found a load of photos in there.
    Im quite worried as Im the only user, yesterday I securely emptied the trash (therefore they werent in there) and no one else could have used the mac.
    I recently upgraded from iphoto 06 to 08 and was wondering if they were duplicates.... Even so i havent told iphoto to get rid of them so im confused and worried that if I have an issue then i may have lost photos before now.
    Anyone else having the same problem?
    P.S my apologies if this has been discussed before but all i can find are delete issues that are accidental and need recovery.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Are you referring to the iPhoto trash or the Main OS X trash on the desktop?
    How big are these files?
    Regards

  • 4 *.joboptions files from old Reader version are stuck in Trash and I can't delete them

    Hello, all. I have a 5 year old Mac, PowerBook G4 which I love and don't want to replace. It runs MAC OS 10.4.11, it's a 867 mHz Power PC dual OS 9. The first Acrobat was 5.0, and when I downloaded an upgrade I just dragged the 5.0 to the trash. Now there are four files that I can't get emptied from the trash. They are eBook.joboptions, Press.joboptions, Print.joboptions and screen.joboptions. They are locked and I can't figure out how to unlock them.
    I suspect that the problem is that this version of Acrobat only runs under System 9, but I am afraid to start system 9. Can anyone help me?

    Hi Sue,
    Take them out of the trash click on there icons go to get info and unlock them, then put them back in the trash and delete.
    Regards Bj.

  • HT201304 does anyone know if there is an free or inexpensive app that will let me mange some 3rd party apps on my IPAD 2 that are soundiing pretty scary???  Im still green behind the ears after 8 montth.  Acutally, what are those apps (found by Battery Do

    I mean, why shouldn't those apps show up when I look for them,  since they are from 3rd parties and if they must be there, how about an idea of who they are and whate they do.  I would expect as the owner to have  some sort of explanation of who the 3rd party is, why there apps are apprearing on your ipad without permission, and maybe the ramifications of taking off or at least turning them off.  Its not rocket science, people.  It really about our rights as pople, right???

    Most likely because they are not apps. They are background processes the OS is runnning.

    I suggest you sell your iPad and not worry about it any longer.
