Should this folder be here?

Hi all! I am going through my MBP, deleting stuff. On my hard drive (not my home folder) I have a folder called Applications, a folder I created with emails I printed out, Games, Misc. Stuff (I created), System and Users. In addition to those is a folder that is called macuser-in this folder are: Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public, Sites. OK, fine BUT in the Downloads folder there are things that I have moved to their respective locations and deleted already. Why are they showing up here? I checked the Users folder and the Downloads folder is empty which is correct. That macuser's folder is just a plain blue folder, not the house icon like my home folder has on it. Is the macuser, blue folder necessary? I would like to delete it if it won't cause any wacky stuff to happen! Thanks for any help, I hope I have explained it so that you all can understand it, Judy

You have what I call a mess at your root level. All that should be there is...
/Applications
/Library
/System
/Users
A folder I created with emails I printed out, Misc. Stuff (I created)
Move these to /Users/yourname/Documents.
Consider making an interior folder in Usrs/yourname/Documents called, "MyStuff" to keep your own stuff separate from application data.
"Games" if they are applications, should also be in /Applications
a folder that is called macuser-in this folder are: Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public, Sites.
If this is in fact another user and you created it should be in /Users... if you didn't create it, it shouldn't be there at all.
AFA Downloads, it appears you have more than one Downloads folder, but anything you've already installed can be deleted.
My suggestion is to clone your hard drive to an external disk. Then clean up your HDD and boot back to it to test. If all is well, good. If not, clone back.

  • TS1538 I do not have the Driver folder in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support like it says I should and myApple Iphone appears in Portable Devices. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it.

    I do not have the Driver folder in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support like it says I should and my Apple Iphone appears in Portable Devices only, not in Universal devices. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it. My Iphone is still not recognized by Itunes when I plug it in. I can see my photos in the internal storage folder on my Windows 7 system though. So I know my PC sees the device. The Iphoneis an Iphone 4 with IOS 6 installed. It was working fine until I had to reinstall my Windows system. Now Itunes does not see it. I've uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled it (64bit) to no avail. Where is the Driver folder article TS1538 talks about?

    Sorry I missed your post. Anyone else with the same issue should find useful resources at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • This folder is on server, since item numbers are many, only few are displayed

    Hi,
    Can some one let know what is meant if i get below in outlook (2013)
    This folder is on server, since item numbers are many, only few are displayed.

    Hi,
    You should be using an Exchange Account in Outlook, you see this because the Cached Exchange Mode Sync Slider setting is configured to a value other than
    All. For example, the following figure shows a profile configured with Cached Exchange Mode and with the Sync Slider set to the default value of 12 months, which means Outlook saves the emails of the recent 12 months to local. If you set it
    to All, you will not see the message again.

  • Problem with File.copy() -- should this work?

    I'm trying to copy a number of script files (I'm testing with just one) out of one folder into another. Here's the code:
    (function() {
      var myFolder = Folder(getScriptPath().parent + "/disabled");
      if (myFolder.exists) {
        var myScripts = myFolder.getFiles("*.jsx");
          for (var j = 0; myScripts.length > j; j++) {
          if (myScripts[j].copy("../enabled")) {
            myScripts[j].remove();
      function getScriptPath() {
        // This function returns the path to the active script, even when running ESTK
        try {
          return app.activeScript;
        } catch(e) {
          return File(e.fileName);
      } // end getScriptPath
    What's happening is that the file in the disabled folder is simply being deleted. This means that the copy method is returning true and yet the copy didn't happen. Perhaps my URI is wrong, but if so, the copy should have failed. The file is not in either the InDesign or ESTK packages, which seem to be the only two worth looking in -- I was running from ESTK with InDesign CS4 targeted.

    You can set the current folder like this:
    Folder.current = "/d/test1/test2"
    Then change to that current folder's parent using
    Folder.current = ".."
    But you can't use .. in file masks. This won't work:
    var myFiles = Folder.cuttent.getFiles ("../*.jsx")
    The only way of using .. (as far as I can see) is with literal filenames:
    myFile = '../nonsense.txt'
    which points to nonsense.txt in current folder's parent folder. But this is unclear as you dont't have a reference to the current folder in your statement. I agree that using relative file paths is vague and it looks as if they're best avoided.
    Why copy() returns true when in fact it hasn't worked looks like a bug. I've tried it a couple of times and on Windows it gives the same results as with you: copy() says true when nothing's happened.

  • I want to ask a question but is it supposed to go in this "Ask Your Question" field or should this really be a synopsis or a tersely worded teaser, like a "subject" line?

    Oh.
    When I pushed the "Ask your question of the community" I got this empty box. But I've already asked my question. Should I copy and paste it into this box?
    > I want to ask a question but is it supposed to go in this "Ask Your Question" field or should this really be a synopsis or a tersely worded teaser, like a "subject" line?<
    There. Now I have asked the same question, which is of questionable value, for sure, twice. So, if someone answers it, they will get twice the points. Right? Or is there another box for that? Should I paste the question into another box? Twice? 
    I've been around here for a l-o-n-g time, longer than ol' BenB by several years, so you'd think I'd know better.
    Maybe I do.

  • My i tunes does not have a ringtones option on the menu bar or under preferences.  How do I get this folder to show up?

    I am trying to use a short mp3 file as a ringtone.  So far every website has told me that all I have to do is drag the file into the "ringtones" folder that is located in the menu bar on the left side of I-tunes.  I don't have this folder.  Again, every website tells me to simply go to "Edit" and then "Preferences" and to click on the ringtones box and then the folder will magically appear.  My itunes is the latest 10.5 version but somehow I don't have this option.  What is wrong with my i tunes?

    Yep... strange move on Apple's part.
    The quick solution would be to get hold of a Concert from MS 2 with the right layout etc, and then open it in your MS3.
    Slower would be to make your own layout using Grouped Controls for the pedal layout you'd like, then assign to incoming MIDI as needed (Switches etc), then map to the effects controls in Edit mode.
    You'll need to be careful how you setup the Screen Control backgrounds.

    Hi,
    Please try to setting Folder Permissions on Web Publish, and then deploy it with Web Deploy, as far as I know, if we do that, Web Deploy will use the SetAcl operation to change permissions. Please have a look at the article below.

  • Create a folder with permissions set to This Folder, subfolders

    Basically my app creates 4 folders that gives a specific user certain permissions.
    I can create the folder find, and i can give the user the correct permissions, but by defaulse it has Apply To set to this folder only, so if the user creates a folder, they wont have permissions to access it.
    I want to give it permissions that Apply to: This folder, subfolders, and files.
    I have spent hours upon hours trying different things, and trying to find the answer anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Here is my code to create the folders:
    string mailDataPath = "E:\\Data\\MailData\\" + logonName;
    string userDataPath = "E:\\Data\\UserData\\" + logonName;
    string userProfilePath = "E:\\Data\\UserProfile\\" + logonName;
    string userSharedPath = "E:\\Data\\UserShared\\" + logonName;
    path[0] = mailDataPath;
    path[1] = userDataPath;
    path[2] = userProfilePath;
    path[3] = userSharedPath;
    //If folders do not exists, create them.
    for (int x = 0; x < pathAmount; x++)
    if (!Directory.Exists(path[x]))
    Directory.CreateDirectory(path[x]);
    //Sets folder permissions dependant on which folder it is
    if (path[x] != userProfilePath)
    DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(path[x]);
    DirectorySecurity security = info.GetAccessControl();
    security.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(logonName, FileSystemRights.Modify, AccessControlType.Allow));
    info.SetAccessControl(security);
    else if (path[x] == userProfilePath)
    DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(path[x]);
    DirectorySecurity security = info.GetAccessControl();
    security.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(logonName, FileSystemRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow));
    info.SetAccessControl(security);

    Figured it out. It wasn't as difficult as i made it out to be.
    I just need to use 2 access rules
    DirectoryInfo info =
    new
    DirectoryInfo(path[x]);
    DirectorySecurity security = info.GetAccessControl();
    security.AddAccessRule(new
    FileSystemAccessRule(logonName,
    FileSystemRights.Modify,
    InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit,
    PropagationFlags.None,
    AccessControlType.Allow));
    security.AddAccessRule(new
    FileSystemAccessRule(logonName,
    FileSystemRights.Modify,
    InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit,
    PropagationFlags.None,
    AccessControlType.Allow));
    info.SetAccessControl(security);
    this is the code for the setting of the permissions.
    had to play around with it a bunch to get the correct inheritance.
    Im sorry i dont realy understand. Where do i put this code? Is there a guide for were to put this? Thanks for your help! :)
