.idlk files - can I stop them?

I realise that every time I open an Indesign file it creates an idlk file too.
However, the creation of this idlk file means that any folder containing the file I am actually looking at has its date changed to the current date, even if I don't alter the artwork in any way!
Now, I view my folders in date created order, which helps me locate artworks made on a certain date, and this re-dating is getting on my nerves!
Is there a way to stop the idlk file from being created, or at the least to get it to be created in a pre-determined location?
I sincerely hope there is! Please help!

Michael:
Put your INDD file in another folder. Then your date stamp will not affect the job folder (only the INDD doc folder).
This gives you an opportunity to break out Working, Final, Supplied, Pickup, and the like for your job folders, which is good practice for working with others.

HT4914 Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

I actually deleted my backup :-) That's the problem. But thanks.
I've managed to get some back but via a slightly different method.
Because the files weren't there, when I deleted them from my library they actually disappeared from the list.... So I created a new library (backed up my original one) and then synched that with Match so that all the files appeared. I'm just going through the ones I'm missing clicking 'download' and then when they're all back on my hard drive I'll revert to the previous Library which will hopefully pick up all of the recovered files.
Bingo!

HT1399 When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks

Okay this is what fixed my problem. Some kind of error/glitch occured half-way through importing that third cd that prevented further imports from any other cd. Once I completely removed the half-imported cd album from my library I could further import cd's without any problems.

Since I updated to firefox 3.6 I keep gettin multiple popup windows. This did not happen until after the update. The popups appear as regular windows so popup blockers can not stop them.

Since I updated to firefox 3.6 I keep gettin multiple pop up windows. This did not happen until after the update. The pop ups appear as regular windows so pop up blockers can not stop them. Why has the new update made my laptop more vulnerable. updates are supposed to be improvements!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== as soon as I updated to ver 3.6

Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged.
What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

What are these files that keep appearing on my desktop and how can I stop them from showing up?

Ever since I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks, I've had these strange files show up on my desktop. The trouble is that they show up even a little while after I delete them. Here's a few examples:

I've done a few virus scans, but they showed no viruses. Why are these files always popping up and how can I prevent them from appearing on my desktop again?

You need to delete Bitdefender from your Mac. It will cause you nothing but problems.
Removing Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac
The best way to prevent malware from being installed on your Mac is to enable Gatekeeper.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Lost iweb files, can I reload them ?

I lost all my iweb files from my hard drive. I did however have them stored on my web server and my web sites were thus unaffected. I have decided I want to update one of the sites. I have opened iweb but cant figure out how to get the previous saved web site up to edit. I have downloaded the exact same folder I had stored on my server to my desktop.
Is there a way to bring my old site up to edit ?

Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html
...Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb.
You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
Other backup options are:

Desktop files---can i trash them

two files/folders are on my desktop---.DS_Store and iTunes.dmg.
can i trash them---can anyone tell me why they appeared on my desktop.
thanks

.DS_Store (and any files beginning with ".") should be invisible. Have done something special to make them visible? .DS_Store holds viewing options for the folder it is in. If you delete it, custom settings will be lost.
iTunes.dmg is used for installing iTunes. Once the installation is complete, you can delete it.

All my emails from my hotmail account keep coming to my phone, how can I stop them coming through?

After recently updating my iPhone, all the emails from my hotmail account keeping coming through on my phone. I have opened all the emails from that account so I don't understand why they keep coming to my phone unopened. Also I have tried deleting and re-adding the email account a number of times but it still won't stop sending them through. How can I stop this?

You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

HMI FILES - HOW TO STOP THEM SHOWING ON EXT HARD DRIVE?

Hi - this was posted on the Nov 8, 2012 2:16 PM and it's still hapening any suggestions
Hi there I'm not sure where to post this one:
I have an external Toshiba Hard Drive that I use to copy film over from my Mac. I sometimes pug it into my Humax PVR and most of the files play What I don't understand is when I watch them via the Humax it creates a 'HMI flle'. I can see this file sowing up when I connect the drive to my Mac.
Is there a way to prevent this? No biggie, just like to keep this in order. I'm assumingthe drive is formatted correctly?? MS-DOS (FAT32)
I can't reformat the drive now if it isn't as there are too many files but it would be handy to know for future reference.
Cheers.

Thank you so much BDAqua. I turn the Time machine off now.
About the format type, Macbook automatically did it. I guess format type is Mac OS Extended. I tried to connect this external HD to Windows PC but the PC cannot recognize it. So, I cannot recover from PC where I have recovery software. Do you have any idea how to let PC recognize this external HD?
I try to find the way but it seems I have to reconnect the HD back to Mac and try to recover on Mac. Is that only way? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks again.

Lost all event files -- can't locate them anywhere. Please help.

All of my work has just disappeared. Please help if you can. I'll describe my steps to help you understand what occurred.
1. I was working in an event folder with a name "New Event 7-17-09." There were numerous videos inserted as cutaways and other elements.
2. On two occasions I had error messages that a video was not able to copy in. I noticed a half black-half gray icon. I re-generated the videos. The first time I had quit iMovie and relaunched, only to find that all of my source videos were gone from the event pane. I had to re-import them.
3. Just now it happened again. I was afraid to quit and lose the video again so I took a chance and clicked on another event date and tried to import this video that couldn't be copied. Well, it copied okay. HOWEVER, the event date I was working in, "New Event 7-17-09," has now disappeared completely. And again -- all of the source videos are gone when I click around in the project pane. The videos only now exist in the work folder they were imported from...not from within iMovie. They are not in the Movie folder.
4. I checked "Show Contents" and there are no project files in there.
So I am left with a project pane but no event pane with all of these source files. I have lost, in essence, all of my work.
I didn't delete anything, I didn't move anything. I just clicked once in a different event pane, and then all of what I had was gone.
Can you please tell me where else I can look?
Does this program utilize some kind of strange file system or something?
Any help you can offer is very much appreciated.

Timemachine is one of the most underestimated (english?) features of 10.5.
It is as simple as that (a no-click application )
and it is not just a backup of 'all', you can select down to a single file, what to be recovered..
speaking of TBs: I have 3 iPhoto Libs (~20k pics), Timemachine backups on the hour, and I do manually 'clone' twice a year onto a 3rd HDD... -
when hopefully this year I switch from tape to SDcard video, I'll spend another 100€ on the next TB-drive.. latest offer in the papers here: 1TB=66€..
long term storage IS an issue in these 'digital times' ... - future historians will call it the 'Black Hole in History' => no documents of this period in time, due to 'data loss' ...- any cheap paperback lasts longer than any digicam still/video..

.dmg files - can I throw them to garbage ?

Or what else should I do with them?
Thanks

You can certainly create a folder into which you place all .dmg files.
Regarding the download issue (e.g. firefox), where did you intall the downloaded software. If you didn't actually install it but merely downloaded it, by double clicking on it you are mounting a drive. I suspect you may have done that. So, once you have the drive icon, open it and see if the application is in that drive. If so, install it where you want. I don't know if firefox is a .app package or uses an intaller script. If it is a .app package, just drag it to you applications folder. Then, delete the original download and drag the mounted drive icon to the trash. If it isn't a .app package, it will usually have an installer icon. Double click that and follow the instructions. Then proceed as above to delete the download and drive icon.
