Macbook 10.5.8 tmp file lost

Hi, I have macbook 10.5.8. Today I have accidently deleted 'tmp' folder. After that I cannot copy,paste and drag anything in my macbook. Please could anyone help me how to fix this problem out?
Thanks in advance.

Call Apple - use the appropriate phone number on this page - and they can usually send you a new copy. There may be a small fee to cover shipping, etc.
Best of luck.

  • .tmp file is created by NI Report generation toolkit for logging data to MS Excel

    Hi,
    I am getting ".tmp" file while logging data to MS Excel by NI Report generation toolkit. Instead of assigned file name, toolkit is generating a junk value with .tmp extension, but I can able to open this .tmp file with MS Excel.
    Can anyone help to solve this issue?
    Thanks,

  • Recover .TMP files on offline folders in Windows 7 Synch

    Hello.
    I have a user with Windows 7 Pro and we set him up for offline folder synchronization.
    Somehow several of his office docs disappeared and seem to have been replaced by several
    .TMP files with similar sizes and dates.
    We only keep 7 days worth of offline folder directory backups and when he told me his problem
    it was too late to get them from the backup tapes.
    Is there a way or a process to recover anything useful from these TMP files?
    Thanks

    Have you restored your mistakenly deleted files back? I hope my answer is not too late.
    In fact, after deleting something off from a drive or PC, the lost files are still recoverable, as long as they are not overwritten by anything new in the same place.
    Therefore, if you really have not got your data back, you can also take chances with some data recovery tool like
    Recuva, 4Card Recovery, iCare Data Recovery Free and more to restore your wanted files back.
    No matter which tool you choose, you’d better not save all restored data on the same PC drive in case of any data recovery failure.
    Note: Never forget to back up everything important all the time. 

  • My Garageband project crashed, the file lost/damaged! How to recover it?

    Guys,
    I've been working my garageband project when suddenly the window was closed and the notification asked me to reopen, report or ignore it.
    This is my second time my project crashed. The first time, I chose 'reopen', and my file reopen. All the midi datas still there, but the sample sounds were empty. So I had to put it one by one. What a job because I had more than 15 instruments there.
    But those jobs was better then what I experienced today. After my project crashed, I chose 'ignore' with assumption I would open the last saved file. But it didn't. I really lost my file. The size for one GarageBand projects is about more than 1 MB. But my file after crashed is about 56 KB! So some solutions like 'right click' and 'show package content' didn't work at all because I worked with midi data, not live recording. I tried to find the script file at projectdata and compared it with my other projects, they have more bytes than my lost project file.
    So, if you have a same problem like me, just choose 'reopen'. I hope it will save your midi data so you don't have to work it out from beginning (just like I have to do after write this post ... x) )
    So guys, is there any idea how to recover my crashed file? I've sent a report to Apple and still waiting their answer.
    Thanks a lot

    Reinstalling iTunes won't ever repair damaged libraries or find lost files.
    Unlike nearly all Windows software double-clicking an iTunes Library file does not necessarily open the selected database. Rather, iTunes opens the last database it successfully opened, or if that was in the "normal" <User's Music>\iTunes location, but is missing, it will create a new empty library.
    You can open an alternate library file, or create a new one, by holding down shift as you start iTunes. Although you can open the library files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder this way, your library will perform better if you restore the archived library database to the main iTunes folder in the way that I have described.
    Your most recent library may be present in the main iTunes folder as a .tmp file, or recoverable via a file undelete tool, however either of these files, if found, may be partially corrupt getting you no further forward.
    The two most recent releases of iTunes were June 11th and March 28th 2012..
    Yes I read your post, but I don't know if you know all of the above. If you had a full backup of your library you could just restore that. It is possible that what you've tried so far hasn't yet brought back the most complete version of your library that is available to you. As a last resort you will have to work with what you have and add in whatever media is not in that version of your library, accepting the loss of recently added ratings, playlists & play counts.
    You can simply add the entire iTunes Media folder using File > Add Folder to Library folder which should ignore everything already in the library and only add new (to that database) stuff. If there is any chance that your iTunes media folder contains .m3u playlist files the import process will also import all of those, which may not be what you want. iTunes Folder Watch would then present a better approach.

  • How do you find the "iT 1.tmp" file for iTunes?

    Hello,
    I am currently having problem with my iTunes library. A couple of days ago, very randomly, most of my music and movies disappeared from my iTunes library. I had recently updated iTunes, but it was a week after the update that this happened. All of my music and movies that I had added through importing CDs or copying from a hard drive were no longer in my library, and all of the music I had purchased from iTunes had the iCloud symbol next to them, and needed to be re-downloaded to actually have them on my computer. My iPod also didn't recognise it as the same library, asking if I wanted to remove all music on it before syncing.
    The strange thing is that all of my music and movies are still in the same place; they're in the iTunes media file and everything is there, it just doesn't appear on my library. After a bit of searching I found out that others had had the same problem, and it was apparently fixed by deleting the "iTunes library.itl" file and renaming the "iT 1.tmp" file with "iTunes library.itl". The only problem is that I can't find "iT 1.tmp" anywhere.
    If anybody could help that would be amazing, as I have lost 3000 songs and I have no idea why. It would also be much too time consuming to import everything again.
    Thanks

    Hi Jonesy0309,
    I'm sorry to hear about the issues you have been having with iTunes. I also apologize, but I'm a bit unclear on the directions you were following regarding your iTunes library. If you are trying to recreate your iTunes Library file, you may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • ITunes 10.5.2 is writing a lot of temp.tmp files and using up many gigabytes of disk space! It seems as if it is completely out of control!

    iTunes 10.5.2 on my macbook pro is writing a lot of temp(number).tmp files to my iTunes folder and not erasing them later!  As a result it quickly uses up many gigabytes of hard disk space. It uses up 8 to 10 gigabytes in just a few days.  I have been using iTunes since its inception, and only had this occur in the past few weeks.  My iTunes library is large with 3187 albums, and is 425 GB in size. My iTunes library is located on remote hard disk and accessed from my wifi network.  I have had such a setup for many years without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

    iTunes 10.5.2 on my macbook pro is writing a lot of temp(number).tmp files to my iTunes folder and not erasing them later!
    Usually, that indicates that something is interfering with read/writes to the iTunes library files. Do you have security software (or realtime backup utilities) installed that might be scanning the locations on the computer where the iTunes library files are stored?

  • Downloaded ppsx file lost the format

    My friend sent me a ppsx file (slides show) via email.  After I downloaded it to my macbook pro,  the file lost ppsx format.  Why?  What I need to do to be able to dowload ppsx file.  Do I need Microsoft Office installed in my macbook pro to download ppsx?

    or OpenOffice shareware, Keynote etc

  • I can't download a movie because, the files are corrupt. Deleting tmp files doesn't solve it.

    I'm trying to download The Social Network, but every time it gets to 10mb downloaded, it goes down to zero KB, and starts over and will loop once or twice until finally saying the file is corrupt and giving me an error 8008. I deleted the tmp file on my MacBook Pro, and that didn't solve it. I also tried on my Windows PC on an entirely different network and it did the exact same thing. Is this a server problem on the host's part? Thanks in advance for any help in regards to this issue.

  • .tmp Files Frustrations! ;)

    Hi all,
    I'm currently building a library using an extranal HD with all my itunes stuff on.
    Every time I play a song (more or less) a .tmp file is added at 10.83 MB. These don't auto delete when I close iTunes either...
    It kind of seems to relate to when I am also looking at other folders (not itunes) within the usb drive at a similar time to changing tracks within itunes...
    Can anyone advise?
    Seems like an itunes / Lion bug, but then again I'm new to Lion and also to using iTunes as a library...
    Thanks,
    Lex

    You lost me.
    The screendump shows the .tmp files on a seperate hdd.
    I also have them on another RAID0 drive.
    Bridge is very unstable on my machine it craches very easily.
    Could it be because of the crach its unable to remove the files?

  • Vi alertlog -- tmp file too large

    Hi,
    when I try to take a look at alertlog.
    It says tmp file too large.
    is it something to do with /tmp space?
    how can i see the content, its about 3G now
    if split might work, can you provide the eg.
    Thanks.

    Thanks sb, it work'd....just my mind is blank for silly things... :)Please be aware that there have been cases reported on this forum where people have lost so much of their db that the only record of their init parms is what is recorded in the alert log at startup. Rather that blowing away everything except the last 500 lines (which could easily be not far enough back to include the most recent startup, I'd suggest a regular routing of renaming the existing alert log to some backup name. I'd want to keep at least enough alert log history to go back to the most recent TWO startups.

  • [SOLVED] /tmp files removed at boot

    Hi there,
    I had been using /tmp as a tmpfs for a while, however I've lost precious work files on a couple of occasions - mostly because I'm stupid - by rebooting the laptop, prior to saving those files.
    Now, after losing 6 hours work again I've decided to move /tmp out of tmpfs and just leave it as part of the / filesystems.
    However it seems that arch likes to clean /tmp on boot, I've grep'ed and re'gredp around /etc and I can't find any entry that removes /tmp files on boot or shutdown.
    Does anyone know where is this done ?
    $ sudo pacman -Q | grep initscripts

  • Excel automatically create .tmp file when open after close Excel, tmp file still there

    Anytime I save a change to one of my Excel files, the TMP file appears in the destination folder and remains.  The "main" Excel file
    saves the retains the changes that I made and after each subsequent change, a new TMP file is created...old TMP files are not deleted.  This is only happening with Excel files.

    Hi,
    From your description, I understand that  you want .tmp file disappear . If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
    This issue can be related to many factors.
    First,  try to check out file->save-> Save autorecover information, if you use Excel 2010.
    If the problem persists, it may be a permissions problem.
    Take ownership of the related file
    =============
    1.      In the "Start" menu, locate "Command Prompt". Right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".
    Note:  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    Note 2: In Windows XP, click Start >Run, type cmd and press Enter.
    2.      Type the following commands, then press "Enter" to execute them one by one. Please note the space before the command and its parameter.
    takeown /f  <path>\<file name>
     cacls <path>\<file name> /G administrators:F
    3.      Restart the computer to check the issue.

    If all user has full control rights , the .tmp file still in the folder ,please clean the virus .
    You could try disabling this program to see if the problem goes away.
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

  • Can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop to use files on the airport?

    can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop and use files on the airport time capsule?

    If you mean an AirPort base station other than the Time Capsule, it doesn't have internal storage.
    If you mean a Time Capsule, its internal drive can be used for regular file storage but shouldn't be; as with all drives, it'll eventually fail. You're better off using a standalone drive and setting Time Machine to back it up as well.

    i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
    I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
    If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org

  • Acrobat 8 professional causing recovered tmp files in trash

    I have recently done a clean install of CS3 including Acrobat Pro. I'm getting an occasional bouncing of the Acrobat program icon in the application doc. It acts as if it wants attention, but when you click on it its just open and has no warnings. This is really annoying having to baby sit the app by clicking on the app icon.
    Anyway, I'm also getting strange system performance issues. I'll restart and there will be recovered files in the trash. They are all acr1234567.tmp files. They look like Acrobat temp files.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Mac/IntelDuo2.4/2GB/10.5.5
    Much appreciated!
    Evan

    Upgrade to 8.1.1 the 8.1.2 should stop the bounce.
