Junk in my comp!

im trying to sift through "stuff" on my iBookG4 to speed things up a lil. In Finder i found between 50-100 .gz files associated with HP. I dont use HP products...sooooo can i get rid of them all?? Anyway to figure out what they do, i tried to open them and the zip thing opens and nothing happens.
Please help.
thank you.

Just to add on,
I like to use WhatSize to delete things off my hard drive. The reason being it is easier to see everything on it. The only thing one should be careful about is deleting things they don't know. Never delete anything using WhatSize unless you know what it is and you know what effect it may have. The reason being, WhatSize (and other programs like it) show "hidden" files that you do not see on a normal day to day basis. These files are hidden because they are essential for the computer to run, and shouldn't be tampered with. Just a little warning before you deleting anything; with or without WhatSize.

    What you describe sounds rather extreme, but this might have to do with wdm driver problems on Win98se. CL doesn't really publicize this much, and I don't know if its true for the newest cards, but it's been possible to install vxd drivers instead. I believe this has been an option in the ctzapxx program, so look for that program on your install CD (presuming you have been installing from CD) and try it.

  • Mini says tunes there when plugged into comp, but unplugged, no songs

    Maybe someone else has had the sort of nightmare experience I have had with my ipod. For 10 mos, it would not allow me to put songs on. I finally called tech support(helped 1x, now insist I must pay $59 to get their crappy technology to work properly). After 2 1/2 hrs on phone, installed recent software on comp and iPod, got 127 songs on it (CDs prev burned on HD). I want to add more songs (it says it will hold 1000 songs....). I followed the instructions I'd been given to put them on the ipod - incl put in disk mode, manually update. It looked like it was downloading tunes. iTunes says the songs are on the iPod. However, when I disconnect from computer, there are only the orig 127 songs I got installed on it 1 wk ago, i.e. not one of the new 255 songs was installed. Can anyone help? email is [email protected] I am really, really regretting having spent $350 on this piece of junk, but maybe the problem is me (I certainly doubt it). Feeling v disenchanted w apple and their crap service right now.

    If you have your ipod set to manual update then you have to manually drag all of your songs from your library to your ipod "icon" on the source list. I believe that is where your "disconnect" problem lies. You have to remember that all the songs you burn onto ITUNES are on your computer's hard drive only until (in your case) you manually transfer them to your IPOD's list of songs. You can certainly fix this manual issue by changing your IPOD settings to auto update. Of course that will create other challenges say if your computer's library is larger than your IPOD capacity etc and so forth. Hope that helps

  • How to fetch Quartile and Comp Ratio columns

    Hello all
    How to fetch Quartile and Comp Ratio columns which are present in Enter and maintain -> Assignment screen -> Salary screen.Are they direct columns from any table or calculation columns.
    Someone please suggest me how to fetch those columns
    Thanks in advance

    Can anyone help me in writing a procedure/dynamic SQL to fetch the column where the junk values appears and its value. Eg: If emp table contains ID and Name columns, and ID column contains junk values, the result should be the Id column and the junk value/s. It should be dynamic because next time if the other column contains junk values(like $,%...), the query should display the other column too..1. define "junk" values.
    2. usually it does not matter what values are in ID, because it is used internally by application, to maintain uniqueness or relations, not having any semantical meaning. End users usually should not see IDs, such IDs are generated automatically. There is no need to cleanse them from "junk" values.
    3. If you made a typo, and you are looking for "junk" values in Name column, it is a different story. You can use TRANSLATE to search such values, as already advised, translating all "junk" characters to one "junk" character and searching for the latter.
    select id, name from T where translate(name,'?@#$%^<>','~~~~~~~~~') like '%~%';

  • Junk characters printed

    I am trying to print a tamil font through sapscript. I am able to see the same output if I print from word but from SAP i am getting junk characters. What could be the reason?? I have done all the relevant settings also/
    Thanks
    Narayani

    Have you got the same text in SAP as a tiff file and are you using the include text format to print the same?
    Is it something like logo printing -
    Try these steps which we normally use to print logo in SAP.
    SAP SCRIPT LOGO PRINTING
    To Create a logo in SAP printouts , just do the following
    1. Save a Logo using Paintshop Pro or Corel Draw as Tiff file.
    2. Run this program RSTXLDMC and enter the following parameters
       Enter file name                     C:\MAIL\COMPLOGO.TIF
       UOM                           CM
        Line width for text                132
        Text name                     ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO
        Text ID                          ST
        Text language = E
        Number of Tiff gray levels (2,4,9) 2
    3.  Then Create a new window 'COMP' with attributes;
         Window COMP description Company Logo
         Left margin 7.00 CH window width 10.00 CH
        Upper margin LN window height 8.00 LN
    Finally in the text element , mention
            /: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'.
    Please note that if object name is not indicated as 'ZHEX...', the logo may not be printed!
    You will not be able to see the logo in a test print. The same will be printed in actual printout.

  • Thunderbird fails to send email when "Scan email for junk mail" option is checked in Server Admin

    I have 2 clients that need to send mail through my server, one Mac and one Windows. The Mac uses apple mail and the Windows machine uses Thunderbird.
    Apple Mail will send fine, it is set up for "Use Default ports 25, 465, 587" and "Use SSL" and "Authentication: MD5 Challenge-response".
    Thunderbird refuses to send and I don't even see any errors showing up in the Console on the OS X server under smtpd entries.
    If I uncheck the "Scan email for junk mail" option on the server, then Thunderbird will send fine.
    Thunderbird is set up as: "smtp port 587 (default)" "connection security: STARTTLS" "Authentication method: Encrypted Password"
    May or may not be relevant: I use virtual domains as well as aliases.
    Server: Mac OS X Server version 10.5.8

    Solved it, looks like maybe the smtpd settings for sasl authentication may not have been correct. I followed everything in http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/38/41/ the "Frontline Spam Defense for OS X server" guide and now can send mail just fine from Thunderbird Winodws and from Apple Mail.

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
    Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
    Any insights much appreciated!
    Best,
    Doug

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.

  • How can I create a fIlter to delete only "junk" from the server?

    One of my E-mail accounts is that of a major client. I handle their customer service online. Normally our protocol is to always leave all messages on the server, so for that one Thunderbird account, I have it set to never delete messages on the server.
    But the account recently started getting a lot of junk messages. Thunderbird is doing a remarkable job at marking those and placing them in the junk folder for that account. I would like to create a filter that could remove them from the server, preferably those more than "x" days old so I could monitor the activity to be sure that no important message are removed.
    I did notice that in "Filters" I can create a custom filter from a header of my choice, but can't seem to create what I want which is:
    - after mail is marked as Junk by Thunderbird to delete those messages from the server if they are older than "X" days (my choice of "X").
    - not delete any other messages from the server for that account

    I believe that did it! Thank you. I am running those changes on a secondary E-Mail address for the same job and server and it appears to be working properly.

  • Blank screen after looking at a junk e-mail

    Last night I was looking at my e-mail inbox(on outlook.com) and after deleting an e-mail the next e-mail came up.  It was from a sender whose name I did not know and the subject line was "thanks".  A quick glance at it mentioned some junk about a deposit of $2,000,000 that will be given.  I could see it was garbage and was about to delete it when my screen went blank.  I tried to move or click the trackpad and nothing happened.  After about 10 seconds I hit the main power button and the screen came back and everything looked normal.  I deleted the e-mail right then.  Since then the computer has been working fine but I am concerned that e-mail installed some malware.  Am I right to be concerned? I never clicked anything in the e-mail, just looked at it for 3 seconds before going to delete it.  Any advice?  Thanks. 

    No you should be alright, but perhaps never say never

  • CS3 Won't Run, Uninstall or Deactivate, Can't Reinstall; Junked.

    Windows XP Pro SP2
    2GB Ram
    Adobe CS3 Production Premium
    Thanks to Adobe's new licensing system I have a $1700 production suite that is completely useless.
    After a few weeks of working fine, it suddenly decided, for reasons unknown, to cease working. With the exception of Acrobat Reader, no portion of CS3 suite will load, all crash out with an error during the loading process, all with what appears to be an issue related to Flexnet licensing.
    I've tried following the crazy instructions regarding removing it, but not even Windows' Add/Remov eprograms can remove it because it needs to be deactivated first, but I can't do that because I can't load any CS3 application to deactivate it.
    When I tried manually removing all traces of CS3, including all the registry hacks Adobe barbarically suggests (rather inelegant for a supposedly industry profrssional product) the reinstallation goes awry and after it finally finishes, all applications still fail because it is supposedly not activated properly.
    At this point I can only assume that the product is merely junk and that Adobe simply does not care. (they have not suggested a real solution, only clumsy and idiotic suggestions to remove it manually and reinstall over and over).
    My last recourse is to completely format my hard drive, and completely reinstall Windows XP SP2 which is a major undertaking in and of itself, entailing a massive backup and reinstallation of all my software, as well as all my project and business information.
    Adobe (and Photoshop) have truly gone downhill since Photoshop 7, and I see very little of any value or worth in this "Creative Suite" as the only thing it seems to create is frustration and additional problems. Is this sort of licensing really stopping software pirates? Am I supposed to suffer through lost contracts and countless hours of frustration after paying nearly $2000 for the software so that some pirate can't use it? Why don't they have a standalone application that can handle activation/deactivation and installation repair? Flexnet is practically a system crippling virus. And why did the add/remove wizard force me to shut down Yahoo messenger before it could run, and then tell me it couldn't do anything anyway?
    This software is junk. Now I am forced to find a new product to edit my digital photography and create web and video content (hopefully for less than the $2000 I wasted on these discs that are now only good as beer coasters).
    -Mark

    >Any chance your firewall is blocking Flexnet?
    No, I had disabled the firewall entirely after the issue presented itself. When I initially installed CS3 for the very first time I gave it (and all Adobe products) full permissions to allow for updating and any other internet-related communications they might require. Initially everything installed correctly, activated properly and all applications worked fine. After two or three weeks everything suddenly failed. After trying to load Photoshop and getting the mysterious failure, I had tried running other apps and all CS3 specific apps failed, giving me my first clue that it was licensing related (especially in light of the fact that non CS3-specific Adobe apps *would* load, such as Flash Encoder, Acrobat, and mysteriously, Soundbooth).
    It's my belief that since the Flexnet licensing subsystem (which is crucial to running CS3) is prone to corruption, deletion or other conflicts, that there should be a standalone application that can perform a verification check for Flexnet activation and repair, registration and updating without requiring an Adobe CS3 app to be loaded. Especially since the deactivation procedure requires loading into a working CS3 app. I was told by a forum member that this is "the least of my worries" yet it is a concern for those who wish to minimize the amount of time spent calling customer service and dealing with installation and activation problems.
    It's most likely that something I installed, uninstalled or use, had caused a conflict or corruption in Flexnet thereby preventing CS3 from operating. Following Adobe's suggestions, I stopped and restarted Flexnet, and Photoshop asked me to reactivate, and the reactivation was successful, however the application still crashed when it got to the "Initializing Palettes..." loading stage. All other CS3 applications, at that point, also failed to load, and all gave the same error code (which also referenced adobeowl.dll).
    The Add/Remove system didn't work properly, and so I also followed other suggestions (as per Adobe) of manual removal, running CS3clean.exe and reinstalling, but that also failed to resolve the issue (twice running CS3clean.exe first at level 1 and then level 2, I hadn't bothered with level 3 at this point as there seems to be no trace of Adobe software on my system), and the applications gave the same errors after reinstallation, activation and attempting to launch.
    The last recourse suggested was a "low level format" as that would be the only way to ensure no remaining traces of activation, licensing or prior installation, and would generate a new and unique activation and installation environment. However, since the actual *problem* has not been determined (nobody seems to know *why* or *how* this has happened) I am extremely reluctant to take such an action if the problem is likely to crop up again.
    Since other people have reported the same problem, (not to mention many issues regarding installation problems) I really don't wish to spend hours backing up my system, formatting and reinstalling Windows, updating Windows, reinstalling every driver and software package and then gambling that Adobe *might* work properly after all that.
    Since there is obviously a conflict with some software I run, and the other software I run is software I own and use routinely, then it's evident that Adobe Flexnet licensing is unable to maintain a coherent and secure record of my ownership of the CS3 product. That being the case, I don't see any point in continuing to wrestle with it until such time as Adobe determines a cause for the problem and issues a fix for it (though I doubt they will, they don't seem concerned in the slightest). For now, CS3 is no longer a piece of software I can use effectively or rely upon to be part of my production pipeline. I'm looking into other options for my workflow, and recommending against CS3 (as a whole) in general, except on "clean" systems with virtually no other potentially conflicting non-OS software present.

  • Cannot move junk email to Bulk Mail folder in Yahoo, greyed out

    I've searched but so far no luck.  Ever since I added my two Yahoo email accounts on my iPhone 4, I cannot seem to send junk email from my inbox to my Bulk Mail folder, it is greyed out.  First off, I've confirmed that the Bulk Mail folder on my iPhone is the same as my Spam folder in Yahoo mail on the desktop.  I can see the same emails in both folders.  Anyone have the same experience and found a way to correct this, or is this just a Yahoo limitation?

    I am having the same problem, but I'm not very clear on how to follow the steps.
    went to my yahoo account in IOS;
    hit edit, hit "new mailbox" at the bottom right corner of the screen;
    entered a name;
    below that, it has "Mailbox Location", I opened it;
    it list all my personal folders, I am stuck here.
    How do I "point the mailbox location to the Bulk Mail folder", as instructed? Am I missing a step?
    This is for iPhone 4S, with the latest released version. Thank you!

  • Move Mailbox from Exchange 2007 to 2013 creates additional Contacts and Junk E-mail folders in Outlook Clients

    have to copy all the user's contacts into the new default folder and delete the old one.  Not sure why this is happening.  Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Date: June 7,2012
    Rating: 1
    Pros: Small, all-in-one package {with installer / driver}.
    Inexpensive.
    Cons: Simply not dependable, poor reception {no physical barriers between this and the wireless router}, very poor performance. I can not recommend this product Has bad driver or bad {cheap?} hardware. I installed a Belkin brand and all troubles resolved. Go figure.
    Other Thoughts: Do not waste your money! It is sad to see Cisco put this junk on the market. I have had this dismal experience with two of these units in a row. No more for me.

    the USB extension base did wonders for me. it boosts wireless signal reception so i got better & more stable connectivity with the Valet Connector.
