Some wierd folder just appear in my trash out of nothing?
so today, when i was starting up my MBP, i noticed that the Trash icon was filled with 1 "recovered Files" folder, inside the folder contain another folder named plugtmp and inside is a file "or-iring-sony230x75.swf", it's a flash document
what's weird is, my trash were empty all the time, i know it because i never leave anything on the trash, so basically, anything which goes to the trash can, i remove them permanently, but today this folder appear out of nowhere
my question is, where does this files come from? why was it recovered? i dont remember doing anything that needs to be recovered, is it safe to just delete it?
because before this folder appeared, all i did was just browsing through Firefox, and no, im sure it's not from firefox, and plus, i dont have any flash software either, so where it come from?
anybody know the problem?
thanks
They are left over cache files created when you quit some applications. Nothing to concern your self with. Just empty the trash.

Hi guys, an empty folder is stuck in my trash & I get this message: "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in the folder can’t be read or written. (Error code -36). It won't shift no matter how I try to Secure Empty trash. Any ideas?
The Time Machines Backup is formated as Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), my mac is formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The names on the file are all Uppercase
When I try to copy the Aperture file, it copies about 70% of the file (it's about 33GB in size), and halfway through I get this error.
I'm able to copy 99.99% of all of the images if I open the Aperture Folder using the "show package contents" under the backups using finder (Time Machine Backups>Backups.backupdb>CQ Macbook Air>2012-04-30-070933>HD.....>Pictures>Aperture Library). The only file I can't copy is that picture, which I'm totally ok with deleting, but Finder won't delete it for me. If nothing else works, I could copy the individual masters and re-create the folders, however I'd hate to do this as I would have to go through 10,000+ pics -

"private" folder has appeared after restore to internal HDD
Dear Forum,
I was using a FW400 drive as a boot drive (the original internal HDD was too small and slow), but that got filled up pretty quickly so I took a deep breath and changed out the HDD from my MacBook Pro. I followed the Restore procedure for Time Machine and after a few hours I got my Mac back. The only thing is I now have a private folder visible when I double click the internal HDD icon (excuse me if that is not too clear, where the Applications, Desktop, Library, System, Users folders reside there is now a folder called private (Get Info Size 4.08GB.) I swear this has just appeared. Is this folder usually in this place and I have simply not noticed? I must admit it has got me second guessing myself.
Another strange occurrence, but in the same place a is blank icon entitled Envelope Index. I have made a copy and opened it and found this and only this line: SQLite format 3@. What on earth is it and do I need it?

Thanks very much for the kind words.
We have several Macs here, all running the latest Leopard, well cared for with the latest software. We backup our machines eery day with TM and once a week or so with SuperDuper, an excellent cloning program. So we back them up twice, using different technologies. (just being extra careful!)
Excellent strategy. Many of us do the same (I use CarbonCopyCloner).
For maintenance, we zero our drives once or twice a year, and restore either using Time Machine, or SuperDuper.
Is that really necessary? Have you considered using OnyX or a similar app to clean some things up, or manually doing some clean-up instead?
But WHY does the Public folder come up now? It didn't used to 6 months ago when we restored the same way. TM was perfect then.
Seems to be rather rare. I don't recall more than a couple or three posts here in the last year or so. Sorry, but I have no idea why it happens.
Also, when we restore using TM (and we back up everything on the HD) - when we open MAIL it wants us to restore all emails or reimport them, or something. I didn't bother - just cloned back from SuperDuper, where there are no 'issues'.
I've only seen a brief message (I forget now just what), clicked OK, and it was fine. I think it's related to Time Machine automatically omitting ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index and ~/Library/Mail/AvailableFeeds, thus needing to rebuild them after a restore. TM does automatically omit several things that aren't needed or can be easily rebuilt, such as system work files, most logs and caches, Spotlight indexes, trash, etc.
So what's the story with MAIL wanting you to reimport emails? I don't recall TM doing that before either?
Next time it happens, get the exact wording, so we can tell if it's really a problem or just something being rebuilt.
Thanks so much for your knowledgeable input. I'm just curious why things aren't working so well. Is it Snowie? Maybe with regular leopard it worked better? I forget.
Depends who you talk to! Some folks had problems on Leo that were fixed on SL; others found new problems with SL. My guess is, overall it's a toss-up. -
Why don't items I put in the trash appear in the trash?
Sometimes items it put in the trash don't appear in the trash, although they are there. This often happens when I manually delete podcasts from iTunes, or drag an item such as a PDF from my downloads folder to the trash. The dock icon remains in it's "empty" state and bring up the trash finder window also shows that it is empty. If I restart my MacBook however, the items appear in the trash and are able to be deleted. Odd.

I a first time Mac-user and running MAC OS Lion so there's a lot that isn't familiar to me and I'm towards the bottom of a fairly steep learning curve. I'm having a similar problem - I'm importing pictures to iPhoto and I've deleted a couple of them but they don't appear in my Trash folder (which is on my Dock). Now it's possible that I'm being a bit dumb and missing something very obvious but I've read through this article and I don't see how it addresses the issue.
I'd really be grateful if some-one could explain to me in plain English why I can't see deleted files in my Trash folder and how I can rememdy that.
Thank you,
For photos deleted from iPhoto, you need to empty the iPhoto trash under file while the iPhoto App is open.

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"
If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -
Some device fonts not appearing under 11.0.1.152
Mac OSX 10.7.1 (Lion)
Safari 5.1
Firefox 6.0.2
I have several swfs published for FP 10 & 10.1 which have been working fine under FP 10.3.182.10 in both Safari and Firefox.
The swfs have code that displays a device font ("_sans") for certain languages, such as Greek, Russian etc. After upgrading to 11.0.1.152 some of the device font text is not appearing. I say some as it stills appears correctly in some places but not everywhere.
I have re-installed 10.3.182.10 and it works perfectly again in both browsers.
In case this problem was related just to the browser plug in I also installed the standalone player for 11.0.1.152 (Flash Player Debugger) and ran the swf from my desktop by double clicking it. Once again the fonts stopped displaying correctly.
If I run Test Movie from within Flash Professional, the text appears correctly as I have installed 10.3.182.10 as the version under "Players" in the Flash Professional installation folder.
Can anybody shed any light on what is going on here?I think I have been able to replicate the issue.
My swf has some dynamic text under a mask which by default is set to display as Arial. By changing a Boolean variable to true, I set the text field to use a new TextFormat which has a font property "_sans".
Here is the complete code:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var useDeviceFont:Boolean = true;
if (useDeviceFont) {
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = "_sans";
myClip_mc.myText_txt.embedFonts = false;
myClip_mc.myText_txt.defaultTextFormat = format;
myClip_mc.myText_txt.text = "Hellobvxcxcvbnrsdjytfkugilhdjgsfhjkl";
The result is that with FP 10.3.182.10 installed I can see the text. but with 11.0.1.152 the text does not appear. Here are two screen shots:
My system is Mac OS X 10.7.2
Safari 5.1.1

I can also see the same issue when viewing the swf in the standalone versions of the player. -
Folder list appearance - change default?
Is it possible to change or custom design the default folder list appearance on 10.4.5 web server?
The scenario is: folders and files are uploaded via ftp to the server by various parties to a shared web realm.
The domain has folder listing enabled so that others can log into the realm via a browser and view the folder (realms) contents.
The default folder list (as enabled in server admin), displayed via a browser is basic in terms of information, links, logo etc.
Ideally, I would like to custom design the appearance of this. So when folders and files are added, by default, they have a particular font, colour and look.http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_autoindex.html
Apache's config file offers some flexibility here. If you look at the section under <IfModule mod_autoindex.c>, you will see you can assign icons to items based on their file type. You could create your own icons and point to them instead.
As for changing things like fonts and other appearance issues, you might want to write up a script to actually display the directory contents as an HTML page and use CSS to control how all the items appear.
You might be able to have that level of control just using Apache -- I've just never looked into it. -
Empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash
Hello,
An empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash each time I boot my iMac.
Is there any way to prevent this empty folder from constantly reappearing?
Thank you and regards,
Olivier.I think this issue started in Tiger, however there was some freeware that would automatically empty the Trash on start up. I downloaded that software and it worked. It was called "RecoverTrasher". It worked with Snow Leopard, at least until last week when I had to delete my entire preferences file due to an unrelated issue. Now it no longer works on my iMac.
There is still a link to RecoverTrasher at http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/RecoverTrasher-Download-9415.html/, however, I don't know if it works with 10.6.4. This version is 1.4, and it still references "Tiger", but I downloaded it and put it into my log-in items, shut down and then restated. The icon for it briefly appeared in the dock, and the trash is empty, so it appears to have worked at least this first time with Snow Leopard.
I don't have any relationship with the author of the software, and don't make any representations about the software.

TS4153 few files and folder are not deleting from trash folder
i am trying to delete all files and folders from the trash folder by clicking empty securely, but its not deleteing the files anf folder. please suggest how to clean the trash folder by deleteing all the deleted files and folder.
Securely deleting items in Trash writes Zeros over the data so that it is completely eradicated.
This will take quit a long time depending on how much data you have in Trash.
Unless there is data that needs to be rendered unrecoverable in the Trash, you could choose to just delete the files and folders with out the secure option.
Once you have Emptied the Trash unsecurely you can always use disk utility to Securely Erase Free Space on the Drive. -
Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted (ie have red exclamation mark by them) but are still OK on iPhone. If I sync, will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal or will I lose that as well? Or could I back up the calendars on my iPhone somewhere and then import them into iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please? it's driving me mad. thanks.
I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
