Strange File name appearance, PLEASE HELP!

I have Mac OS X v 10.6.8; When I open any finder window, the below file name appears on all of them. I have deleted the item to "trash" it still shows when I open any finder window! I suspect it is some kind of virus, but I am not sure. I have NortonAntiVirus running on this machine. Please help!

Niel, thanks very much, it solved my problem and I learned something today. I also learned that I need to learn more about Mac OS X; Happy New Year!

  • Download csv file with strange file name.

    hi, guys:
    We installed Oracle APEX 4.2, and APEX listener 2.0 and Oracle 11g standard edition for our application. But sometimes when user tried to download csv file from an interactive report, the file name was a very strange one, sometimes even no .csv extension. could anyone give me a hint to find documentation about it?
    Thanks.

    a little more information about it:
    I found the file name is "&P16_DIP_START_DATE NOA", which we expect to generate a file named as " some date NOA.csv", but APEX does not recognize the value of variable. For example, if teh value of P16_DIP_START_DATE is 11/15/2012, we expect the file name as "11/15/2012 NOA.csv", but APEX will give us very strange file name replaceing every "/" with / I appreciate anyone who could help me on this issue. But We did not encounter this [roblem on APEX 4.1, OC4J and Oracle 11g R2 enterprise.
    Thanks.
    I just used to_char to output date without "/" and soleved it. The other way is to set application property-->security-->browser security with basic level. This only applies to APEX 4.2. I am lucky for that I am using Apex 4.2.

    I can has editing?Suspect you are trying to explain that "/"s are being rendered as <tt>&amp;#x2F</tt>? If you want to include character entities in forum posts then you have to type the ampersand ("&amp;") as an entity itself, thus: <tt>&amp;amp;#x2F</tt>.Windows or *NIX filenames can't contain "/"s anyway, so you can't use them regardless of how APEX is rendering them. Using a <tt>YYYYMMDD</tt> format is also recommended as it follows date order when using character comparison semantics.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Strange file names

    Hi,
    I noticed some days ago some strange file names on my Finder Windows under Macintosh HD. Files like %A0 or more complex names with lots of unusual chars. When I get info they are 0Kb. I tried to trash them but the system asks me for the admin password. What are these strange files? Can I trash them without making harm to the system?
    Thanks for any possible help.

    Hi Joshz,
    I wondering why you said to DMN48312 to start a NEW treat?
    His issue is different, since he wasn't wondering if it was safe to trash them, but how to trash them, since it wasn't working for him.
    Also, it never hurts to start a new thread, if the solution in the old one didn't work. If the solutions are different, the problems are probably different too.

  • Problem with file archival. Please help

    Hi Experts,
      I have a requirement where XI reads input file via File adapter. Once the file is read successfully I need to archive it.
    I also need to append timestamp to the archived file. After 10 days the archived file should be deleted.
    How to achieve this in XI?  Where do we  specify the retention period for archived file? DO we have to write any script for teh same? IS there any sample script code available?
    In file communication channel there is an option for archiving faulty files. Will this work for successfully processed files also?
    Please help
    Thanks & Regards
    Gopal

    Hi Gopal,
        The option of archiving the file is available in Processing Mode:

    YOu can set the Processing mode to Archive to achieve your requirement.
    retention period setting is not done in the communication channel.

    Please Help to solve...

    Hi Ahmed,
    In iTunes, go to the Store in the left menu, select iTunes Store, wehn it opens, make sure you are on the home screen (icon of a house in the menu bar) and from the righthand side, select Account.
    Next you will see all of your account information. Just a little don, you will find: Apple ID overview, there it says, Authorised computers; click on the button to deauthorise.
    And you should be done.

    I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation.  My computer did have the faulty part you linked to.  I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager.  Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge.  They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test.  They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
    Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above.  I've never had this experience before.  Even brand new, I got occasional crashes.  Hopefully this new trend continues.
    I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow.  Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed.  Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
    Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

  • I have the new iPhone 4s.  I'm using cloud.  I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over?  Please help.  Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

    Not sure I understand how Migration Assistant is doing anything. I thought MA was for connecting your computer to another computer or volume and transferring files. I'm just not sure how you're using it. Like I said earlier, everything you do on your Mac overwrites more of what data may have been recoverable if there even was any. Not to kick you when you're down but this is exactly he kind of a situation where a time machine or other back up would have saved you a lot of heartache. I'm sorry but I don't think I can be of any help :-(
