Strange folders into C partition created from alone

Hi everybody
Lately i found out that there were some folders created in my C disk, that i've never seen before. When i tried to delete them they did not give me permission to do so.
I will give you some of the names of these folders, if that helps in anyway: "62c6f26ad1942dc218d306", "7d79be14a048fd8a8515ecd6123c", "87af31044ce942c8950d9ade775b0023" and it goes on.
If anyone has any idea what these folders are, how they were created and how i can delete them, please help me!!!!
Excuse my poor english...

Hi
> Sometimes, when i shut down my computer and there are upgrades to do, it goes on and on for hours and never shuts down.
During the system update the notebook does not shut down until all updates would be installed and system would be configured this is nothing unusual sometimes it could be possible that updates would not be installed properly and this might be the reason why the hangs in this process but this is not a serious issue

Separating home and boot into separate partitions after installation

Hi,
is it possible to separate home and boot folders into different partitions for an already complete arch installation without re-installing? And if so, is it a good idea?
I also would like to upgrade from ext2 file system to ext4. It would be great though if I could keep my current arch-linux installation.
I know that the file system upgrade is possible (although not without risk), but I'm not sure about the partitioning.
I guess creating new partition, mounting it with fstab and simply copying the content of boot folder from my root partition would not be sufficient, but I could be wrong.
I know I can't run pacstrap script, because it would delete my current folders (except home). So is there other way?
Thanks for help.

2Head_on_a_Stick: I don't know why, but it didn't work. Is the partition supposed to have the folder boot in it or just the files inside the boot folder? Nevertheless I tried both and each failed. I suppose I made a mistake in fstab file.
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=CBB6-24F2 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
I got this from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab and yes I did change the UUID accordingly. The partition was formated to fat32.
I'll try the home partition now. Hope it will go better.

Convert shape created from masks into it's own shape or mask?

Hi everyone.
I've created a shape layer (an ellipse) and used a couple different masks to create a more unique shape. Now, I'd like to extrude that shape into 3D, but as you may know, the ray-tracer doesn't support masks.
So I'm wondering, how would you convert this new shape into an actual shape that uses no masks? I'd like it to be it's own shape or at least have a path that resembles he new shape I created from the shape layer and those masks.
Any idea how to do this? Thanks.

I'd like to extrude these shapes.
http://content.screencast.com/users/Dreamcube017/folders/Jing/media/94b498bd-8ac2-41b4-ba3 0-e87276a546d7/AE%20Shapes.png
Now I know these are made from solids, but the original is an ellipse mask with some other masks drawn over it.
I was able to make these same half rings with a shape layer and some masks. I'd ultimately like to make that shape a shape layer of its own with no masks so that I can extrude it in 3D.
I wish there was some sort of magic wand tool that would let me select the shape, save the selection as a path, then use that... man I really have to go into a whole nother program to do this? Geeze.
Thanks guys.

Can I create folders into iCloud?

Can I create folders into iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm assuming that you are looking to create folders when storing iWork documents in iCloud. You can achieve this from an iOS device, by simply dragging one document on to another to create a folder into which they are both placed. After doing this, you can then rename the folder to the name of your choosing.

Mail is moving old messages from folders into the inbox

Hey,
Mail has started behaving really weird. It has started to move old messages, from various folders into the inbox. When i try to move it back, i have to use the contextual menu to do that, drag and drop doesn't work.
Has anyone experienced this before? Help is greatly appriciated!
/Andreas

Hi Andreas.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), proceed as follows to re-create Mail’s index:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Strange folders being created with 'chmod 740' in filename

My colleague has a Mac Mini Intel 1.6Ghz with 1Gb RAM. He has recently discovered that the top level of his hard drive has had 48 folders created, each with the phrase "chmod 740" at the end of the filename. The names all follow the same style: it starts with the name of a file (for example, "cover"), then it follows it with "; chmod 740".
Within each folder it then reconstructs the file structure of the path to the original file.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency behind any of these files; it seems that all sorts of files are created, from Quark XPress documents, PDFs, postscript files, text files; and not all the files in the folders have been duplicated - only a random selection.
Does anyone have any ideas what's causing this problem?
All help gratefully received.

This is strange. chmod 740 is a unix command to change file ownership of a file/folder to make the owner of it be able to read/write to it and make it executable, and the group read only.
I don't know if this is some kind of attack or if it is just some application gone crazy, or if the owner of the computer has been doing some batch file renaming and changing of permissions.
Move those files to a folder and Run Repair Permissions using Disk Utility.
See if any file permissions repaired by Disk Utility correspond to any of those odd folders. If they do, then their file permissions were changed which would lead to the question what changed them and why.
Afterwards you could delete them.

I don't think you want to combine all of the HTML into one file. That doesn't make too much senese. If you wanted to, then just copy everything from all 3 files between <body></body> and paste into one html file between <body></body>. I think what you're trying to do is create seperate static pages. I would read/youtube how to setup a blogger website.

I need help on my MacBook Pro. Recently I've deleted another partition of my disk from the disk utility and I found out that my disk capacity wasn't get into the normal one which is 750GB. Meanwhile I installed window 7 into the partition disk.

I need help on restoring my disk capacity back to normal. I installed window 7 into the partition disk through bootcamp and I deleted it from disk utility. After I erase the partition disk,I get my capacity to 499GB but not 750GB. Do I need to reinstall my MacBook or something to do with the restoring?

You shouldn't do it. You have to erase the Windows volume with Boot Camp Assistant, so it will restore the space onto the OS X volume and that volume will have 750 GB.
As you did it with Disk Utility, you have to resize your OS X partition manually:
1. Open Disk Utility, select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, and go to Partition tab.
2. You will see a bar with Macintosh HD. You have to click it at the bottom right corner and drag it to the end of the bar, so Macintosh HD will use all the space of the hard drive, and press Apply.
3. Close Disk Utility and your OS X partition will have 750 GB

Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

Sometimes it takes a precise drop to get it into the album. Make sure you see the album highlighted before releasing the mouse:

Items from multiple folders into one?

Any programs that can move thing's out of multiple folders into one?
I'm thinking in particular iPhoto, roll folders with images inside, want to move them all out and into one folder. I would rather not go through each one and move manually as could take a while, especially if there are say hundreds of folders each with photos inside i want to move into one.
Must be a program or something that will do it?

I find one:

I've never tested it and it has no reviews. Proceed at your own risk.
