Strange "iPOD" Files being Created in My Pictures Folder

A friend of mine wants to know why PSE7 seems to be creating these files in the My Pictures folder whenever she clicks on a PSD file (for example) to start PSE editor? It also seems that if she uses one of the effects on a pic these IPod files are also created.
She has hunderds of these things floating around in various folders. PSE also feels the need to create a manifest.txt file to list them all.

Mysterious files being created in pages. Unable to unlock or delete them.

Mysterious files being created in pages. Unable to unlock or delete.

It turns out that you cannot update or delete a Syndication Map that is currently assigned to a Port in the Repository. You must remove the map from the Port in the Repository and then you can change and/or delete them.
1) bring up the MDM Console
2) Unload the repository
3) drill into Admin ~ Port
4) Remove or change the map associated to the port
5) Load the repository
6) Then you go into Syndicator and either Update the Map or Delete it
It had nothing to do with security.
Thank you for your help.

Many .DYN files being created

Ever since the PSUOct2013 (17082366) was applied to my 11gR1 install there have been many *.dyn created (sometimes multiple per minute) in my $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory.
The only reason I found them (2 months later) is that I received a drive space warning. The only thing that I can find about these files is that they are dynamic sql files. Oracle Dynamic SQL
I have started archiving them so as to reclaim drive space but haven't deleted yet until I find out what they are and why they are being created.
Anybody else seen this?

they are binary files though this is a snippet:

0kb files being created!?

I was trying to update my site today and when I 'publish site changes' multiple files are being created as 0kb instead of actually having the data that I see while creating the page(s). Much thanks for any help/advice you all have.

When you have problems with iWeb or publishing, you really need to publish to a local folder to find out where the problem is. See....

Are you using iWeb's apology for an FTP?

Why is my Zip file being created with size of O KB?

I have the following code
public static int createZip (String directory)
                   throws IOException {
     File path = new File( directory );
     File outZip = new File("c:\\wip\\sams9dbExport.zip");
     boolean boo = outZip.createNewFile();
     FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
        public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
            return name.endsWith(".xml");
    if ( outZip.exists() ) System.out.println("File exists");
     System.out.println(" Files and filters made");
     // These are the files to include in the ZIP file
     String[] fileList = path.list(filter);
    // Create a buffer for reading the files
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    try {
        // Create the ZIP file
        String outFilename = "sams9dbExport.zip";
        ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream( new FileOutputStream( outFilename ) );
        // Compress the files
        for ( int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++ ) {
            FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream( "c:\\wip\\"+fileList[i] );
             System.out.println( fileList[i] );
            // Add ZIP entry to output stream.
            out.putNextEntry( new ZipEntry( "c:\\wip\\"+fileList[i] ) );
            System.out.println("Added an entry");
            // Transfer bytes from the file to the ZIP file
            int len;
            while ( ( len = in.read( buf ) ) > 0 ) {
                out.write( buf, 0, len );
            // Complete the entry
            out.closeEntry();
            in.close();
        // Complete the ZIP file
         out.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println( e.toString() );
         return 0;
    return 1;
}And I get the following output
SQL> @ziptest

But my file is created empty. I previously added a println statement in the while loop to see if it was reading and writing bytes and it was.
Any ideas?

I have the following code
public static int createZip (String directory)
throws IOException {
File path = new File( directory );
File outZip = new
= new File("c:\\wip\\sams9dbExport.zip");
boolean boo = outZip.createNewFile();So these two lines will create sams9dbExport.zip with size 0 bytes, if file didn't exist.
No need to do that....
try {
// Create the ZIP file
String outFilename = "sams9dbExport.zip";
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(
tStream( new FileOutputStream( outFilename ) );Probably you are looking a wrong "sams9dbExport.zip" -file. Your application will create two "sams9dbExport.zip"-files, one into wip-folder with 0 bytes, and other into default directory.

Duplicate text files being created with ~ appended

Whenever I edit a text file with TextEditor and save it, a duplicate file is created with a ~ appended to the end of the name.
Example:
After editing and saving my_file.txt my_file~.txt is also created.
The result is I get two files with exactly the same contents.
my_file.txt
my_file~.txt
I would really like to stop it from doing this. It clutters up everything. It has done this since I first installed the OS. My file system format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Any suggestions?

I looked through the preferences for TextEditor. I had "Delete the automatic backup file unchecked". I think checking this option will fix the problem.

Dreamweaver CC for Mac strange new files always created

Hi,
I bought iMac and this is my first Apple product. Now I have installed Dreamweaver and few other apps I use for web design and eveyr time i save a file, whether its, PHP, HTML, CSS, PSD, PNG i get the same file name created next to source file. For example if I save file called EXAMPLE.PHP another file called ._EXAMPLE.PHP is also created. Is there any way to turn this off or these files needs to be saved for Mac?
Thanks and sorry of this sounds like a noob question, but never used Mac OS X.

You should be able to turn off your hidden files to make them go away.
Files starting with a . are supposed to be hidden on the Mac, they're the "users shouldn't need to futz with these" files.

How to stop music folder from being created when changing media folder

When I try to change the media folder location, a new "music" folder is created - how do I stop this from happening (I already have a music folder that I want it to default to, but when I try to select it, it creates another music sub folder)
This is a new issue - I have been using itunes for years without ever having this problem...

That's how itunes 9 works, now. The top-level folder is considered the "Media" folder and there are music, podcast, movie, audiobook, etc subfolders.
Which is better in a way, since before itunes 9, everything was dumped in a music folder, even audiobooks that weren't music.

Cannot disconnect iPod - files being used by another application

This is the first time I've connected my new iPod to my brand new computer(Dell E510 loaded). I've been able to down load some albums, and it has been charging (via usb port on tower) for 8 hours. When I try to eject the iPod via itunes I get the error. " iPod can not be disconnected since some of its files are being used by another application. Try again later" I don't have any other applications running. Since this if the 1st time I'm using it, I'm hesitant to follow any of the R procedures. So I close iTunes and open it again. Sometimes it recognizes the iPod and doesn't other times. Thanks for any input

I don't have McAfee and this happens to me as well (every single time since I got the 5th Gen Ipod last month).
I have been clicking on the "safely remove hardware" icon in the toolbar, and manually disconnecting it that way. It seems to work alright.
The annoying thing is that this is only an issue with my 5th gen Ipod. My Ipod Mini has never had any trouble disconnecting the normal way.

Thousands of individual .txt files being created while using "next available file name" option in Save to ASCII step

I'm using Signal Express to record Load vs Displacement data and export it to a format our engineers can work with (in this case ASCII is okay). It would seem that by selecting the Next Available File Name from the drop down arrow it would do just that. For instance a typical save path for me would look like C:\....Desktop\Project Number and Description\Run_1.txt within that Run1.txt file would be all the data points for that run. When I hit record again Signal Express would (SHOULD) create a Run_2 since it's the Next Available File Name.
But instead what it does is creates a single txt file for every single sample point being read. Needless to say, If I'm recording 6 second of data at 1khz I end up with thousands of txt files!
The first thing that comes to mind is, why would anyone want this?
Second is how can I record multiple individal runs for the same project and have the file name increment?

...and more attachments of the ASCII save path, before and after acquiring 4 seconds of data along with one of the files from that folder.
Again, this is 4 seconds of two-channel spring plot data at 100 Samples to Read @ 1k Rate (Start Run.... wait 4 seconds or two full test sample cycles... Stop Run).
~EDIT~
The .txt file would not attach (I think it's too small). Here's what it looks like if you were to open it:
Load vs Displ - Displ (inches) Load vs Displ - Load (lbs)

Also, for some reason it won't let me attach my project file. It's a .seproj extension but the forum thinks it's 1k in size and "empty"

Unexpected xmp files being created

Can anyone help?
I am helping a family member to migrate her programmes and data to a new PC (running Windows 7 64 bit). This is a telephone and email exercise as she lives abroad.
Upon installing Photoshop Elements and transferrng her stock of about 8,000 jpeg photos from her old machine she has discovered that virtually every one has an xmp file associated with it.
She never uses RAW (her compact camera cannot generate RAW files) and only a small proportion of her pictures have been previously edited in the PSE Editor module. I always thought that both the PSE Organiser and Editor modules wrote their metadata to the xmp section within the jpeg itself and that separate xmp sidecar files were only created when RAW files were edited using ACR with the appropriate options set.. She has used Picasa in the past to index her pictures, if that is relevant.
I am not a regular Elements user myself (I use Photoshop CC plus Lightroom) and I have not been able to come up with a satisfactory explanation. . Any ideas please?

There is no logical explanation although if your family member is a Mac user or more precisely a user of iOS these files can get automatically generated by a photo app or by the iPad/iPhone camera roll.

HELP!! Temp files being created when saving in CS2???!!

Hi all,
I recently upgraded my OS to leopard and since i did this i have been having this strange problem?When I save a file in illustrator (CS2) it is also creating some kind second archive file (Acr1860018314.tmp for example) does anyone know what is causing this it is really annoying

I'm on CS2 and it sometimes happens even though I have nothing else running except E-mail and maybe Preview. A restart seems to help, but I haven't discovered why the temps appear. They don't do any harm and you can safely trash them to no ill effect.

.webloc files being created from .pdf files viewed in Exchange 2003 webmail

I have a person here that when she views a pdf file through an exchange webmail account, it then turns into a .webloc file and is no longer useable. She is using one of the newer MacBook Air computers.
I don't have the notebook here in front of me at this time.

No updates, we have a feeling it started with a corrupt adobe file on the network. All clients that opened this one document seem to be having this error now. Does anyone know what this error means:
%%%%[ Error generating pdf file. Please retry with these features turned
off: optimize CompressObjects ]%%%%
Error 32 relocating files.
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process.
How do I turn off : "optimize CompressObjects"
Thanks.

Problem with duplicate files being created

I'm having a problem with PSE7 copying files from my camera card to my computer.
It will copy over all new jpg files fine but once it gets to the NEF (RAW) files it will not only copy the new files from today but recopy all those NEF files from other days that are already downloaded so that I end up with files like this:
DSC_2200.NEF
DSC_2200-1.NEF
DSC_2200-2.NEF and so on. It's very annoying and I have to repeatedly delete all the duplicate files and this takes up time. I do use the global search function in Windows to delete them but would prefer they don't do this in the first place. They do eat up a lot of space.
I have the settings set to only copy over new files in PSE so why is it copying over older files? Does anyone have any clues?

You can set up a scan when you create a new device in System Preferences:
go to System Preferences --> FCSVR Pref pane --> Devices Pane and then choose create new device ("+" sign and the Device Assistant will appear. You choose the type and then you can set up a Full or Add only Scan here.)
Other option is to set up a Scan via the Administration window in the Java Client:
This is not as easy since there is no Device Assistant.
go to Admin window in Java Client --> Response and then create a new 'Scan' response on the device you want to scan. 'Scan Productions' is something different, maybe you want that instead, I don't know. Depending on how you set it up, it can create a Production in FCSVR catalogue for each folder or subfolder and that media will be scanned and placed into that Production in FCSVR catalogue.
Anyways, once you create the Scan Response, go to Admin pane --> Schedule. Create a new schedule and add the 'Scan' response you just created to the "Response List" section. Don't forget to check "Enabled"...can't tell you how many times I created the response but then forgot to enable it.
Once you scan the assets, they are in the FCSVR catalogue with clip proxies, thumbnails and posterframes. If you have existing FCP projects that use this media, you will want to make sure the media in the FCP project is connected to that same media that was scanned. When you upload the FCP project, it will not dup the assets, just add the FCP project to it, unless you didn't set the EIP device correctly. If you look in Search All Jobs, the only thing that should be generated at this point it Edit Proxies (if you enabled them) and Elements.
Now my question to you is the same as Chris' question here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9147105#9147105. How did you set things up so far? What is your workflow? Where is your media?

Duplicate photo files being created in Bridge
