Recycle bin, and new folders on desktop, of Macbook Pro

I bought my Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion) on Sept 2012. I am facing two issues: 1. The recycle bin is getting filled automatically with empty folders named 'recovered files'. 2. New folders are being generated on the desktop. These folders contain the movie files that I had inserted in my ppt and keynote presentation.
Please let me know how to address these issues.
Thank you.

Thank you. I can always empty the trash bin. What I would like to know is why this automatic filling of the trash bin occurs and how to prevent it from happening in future.
About the second issue, those are movie files already saved on the computer (transfered to the MBP with a USB). It seems each time when I use the presentation in Keynote or Powerpoint, these movie files in the presentaion are somehow extracted into those automatically-generated folders on the desktop. Though both these issues maybe harmless, they look wiered to me.

"$RECYCLE.BIN" and "System Volume Information" on a hard drive connected to EA4500

Hello
I've bought WD Elements 3 TB USB 2.0 External HD WDBAAU0030HBK hard drive for my Linksys EA4500. The hard drive was NTFS formatted. After I plugged it in I see "$RECYCLE.BIN" and "System Volume Information" folders on it via my Windows Explorer. I know these folders to be Windows system folders, but my hard drive is now connected to router. So do I really need them, or can I safely remove them?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The EA4500 does not have to anything with these folders popping-up since they appear on the computer by its design- system file and cannot be deleted permanently. I had read some notes on how to hide these files; you can try these if you want:
It works as a part of recycle bin in your desktop. To make this disappear, go to Tools > Folder Options > View and uncheck “Hide protected operating system files”. System Volume Information is where windows system restore files are located. If you do not want to use this folder then disable System Restore.
But just to be safe, leave it as is. This should not make any issues or problems in accessing the files from the HD using the computers connected to the EA4500.

I just accidentally wiped out my entire music library. How can I get apple to help me download the purchased songs again? The songs went to my recycle bin and I immediately restored them but the files seem to have dissappered!

I just accidentally wiped out my entire music library. I sent everything to recycling bin and then immediately hit restore all items as I knew what I had just done. Now I can find where those files went. Is there anyway Apple can just send me my purchased songs again?

I deleted some apps on accident, went to my recycle bin and saw they were in there so i restored them, but now i can't find them. Did i totally lose them?

I deleted some apps on accident. I went to my recycling bin and saw them in there. I tried to restore them thinking that they would just reappear on itunes, but they didn't. Is there a way i can get them back or did i completely lose them?

Which idiot at apple decided this was intuitive?
I too have lost months of work, because when Notes started to mysteriously appear in Mail, I deleted them (That makes sense doesn't it? - Its not MAIL) Why would any one then setup the best OS in the world to delete the actual notes (from within Mail) in the application you created them in???? with no warning and no backup. Months of work, instantly destroyed. This is why i pay the Apple prices!!
If Jobs was still around, heads would roll.

Active Directory Recycle Bin and Infrastructure FSMO Role.

Hello!
In the book about Active Directory I have found the information:
"Once the Active Directory Recycle Bin has been enabled, the infrastructure master’s functions are performed independently by every DC in the forest. That is, the tasks just described are no longer delegated to a single DC."
I have looked for additional information and found only one article from trusted source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc223753.aspx :
"When the Recycle Bin optional feature is enabled, every DC is responsible for updating its cross-domain object references in the event that the referenced object is moved, renamed, or deleted. In this case, there are no tasks associated with the Infrastructure
FSMO role, and it is not important which domain controller owns the Infrastructure Master role."
Someone have any additional information about this changes?
How Infrastructure Master role works, after enabling AD Recycle bin?

From my understanding is that the Infrastructure Role ceases to do the updating when cross-domain objects are moved-renamed- deleted and now becomes the function of the domain controller that did the action. This makes the role of Infrastructure Master redundant
thus no longer a necessary role.
When you enable the Recycle Bin - that's a forest wide operation meaning that each domain must be at least a windows 2008 R2 domain level and the forest is a 2008 R2 level -

How do I move folders and albums in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to my ipad?

How do I move folders and albums in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to a new iPad Air?

To sync photos, connect your iPad to your Mac and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo albums/folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page.
You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly. Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Assuming your MBP is a recent model, i.e. bought in the last couple of years, and that your TV has HDMI inputs (if you've bought it new then that's a safe assumption) then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable. The Apple Store sell one:

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated the system to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. Why and what am I supposed to do?

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?

cwhargrave,
have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

Backup your data off the machine to a external drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
Create another Admin account in System Preferences and log into it, delete your Admin Account and reboot.
Optional: Open Disk Utility and Erase Free Space (Zero good enough, 7x for military level, both take time)
This should be good enough to remove just your account and data without the hassle of reinstalling the OS and all new programs again.
However if you need that level, then c boot off the 10.6 disk (or command r boot on Lion) and use Disk Utility there to Zero or 7x erase the OSX drive/partition, quit and reinstall OS X. Much more work that likely is unnecessary in your case.
Good Luck.

Can I unplug my time machine hard drive from my airport extreme and plug it direcly on my MacBook pro without having to do a new back up?

I want to bring my back up hard drive on a trip, but now it's attahced to my Airport Extreame.
If I unplug it and plug it directly on my MacBook Pro, it'll keep updating or I'll lose all my back ups and have to restart again?

Yes, but you'll probably have to manually "mount" the sparse bundle containing your backups. See the blue box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17 for details.
Also, I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

Can i clone my macbook air HDD into an SSD and then install that on a macbook pro??

i Have a macbook air 2013 with mavericks and my brother has a 2012 macbook pro with yosemite, i want to keep mavericks, can i clone my air's HDD into an SSD and install that SSD into the pro??

Yes, although your MBA does not have an HDD. It has an SSD. Just put the new SSD into a dock or enclosure, clone your drive to it, then install the new SSD into the MBP.
Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external SSD. Source means the internal startup drive.

I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.

My motherboard died on hp laptop. i put my hard drive into an enclosure to access data. is it possible/how do i transfer my bookmarks from hard drive to my new computer which is a macbook pro?

hello. my name is brandon. my hp laptop motherboard died 3 days ago. i have put my hard drive into an enclosure to be able to access all my info and files. i have successfully transferred all my files, but I am not sure if, or how i can access all my mozilla bookmarks from my my old hard drive to be able to put onto my new laptop, which is an macbook pro. my bookmarks were crucial to pay bills etc, so any help would be greatly appreciated, brandon

Not familiar with the Mac file structure either but you can transfer the entire content of your Firefox profile replacing entire content of a firefox profile you created on new HD. For me copying over a few files was out of the question all of the files are updated and I wasn't about to reinstall 150+ extensions and set up configurations for everything and to do that for that 20 profiles and .ini file. Except for 3 most didn't have a lot of extensions but it would be rather impossible.
I copied everything from the Mozilla folder down in the user libraries so all my profiles were set, it did something similar for application libraries.
