Strange System Files Showing Up Everywhere

Roughly two weeks ago I started noticing all kinds of unfamiliar system files showing up in a number of my folders. They are always grayed out and as far as I know have nothing to do with the actual folder. These are just straight forward folders and/or my actual Mac hard drive. Any idea where they may be coming from? I don't know that any of them are actual system files that might be important. The second link, the CODES folder should be the only file in that folder. Here are links to a couple of them.

  • Strange duplicate files showing up

    I primarily develop in PHP running MAMP on my Mac for the testing server. For a few months now I'm getting all kinds of duplicate files showing up as I'm editing and testing on my local server. This never happened before.
    Here's my usual workflow. The testing server folder is set to the same folder that I use for my site folder. I have two reasons for this. When the testing server folder and the site folder are the same I can just go to localhost/mySite and see everything working without loading up files to a different testing server. It's much easier and uses less disk space than having duplicate files.
    Second reason, when I'm working on debugging pages a simple save / option tab / and refresh gets me to the page much faster than when I have a separate testing server folder setup and have to use Option+F12 to upload the file and render it.
    The bug that's popped up is the generation of duplicate files. For example, while working on main.php, when I look at or edit a record set I often end up with a file called main_QFK9H5ZWYH.php or something similar in the folder. This file is not used for an f12 preview, never shows up in any localhost previews, and, as far as I can tell is never used by Dreamweaver for anything. The only thing that happens is my site folder fills up with a bunch of files that do not need to be used for anything, clutter up the directory, and unless I'm very careful, end up getting uploaded to the server as just a bunch of junk.
    Anyone else seeing this? I thought for a while that it was a preferences setting that I fouled up. Deleting the preferences file and starting over didn't solve the problem.
    This was especially problematic today as I was going through the entire site prior to publishing and I ended up with more than 40 duplicate files. For the main.php file I ended up with 6 versions in less than 5 minutes of testing. I'd love to shut off whatever is causing this.
    One last thing. It makes no difference whether I'm editing on my laptop or on the desktop at home, or on a Windows machine at the clients office.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Yup, preview in secondary browser is turned off. Further testing reveals that if I have a scripting error or I use shortcuts CMND/Option to bring up a direct link to CSS, or if I try and edit an existing recordset from the bindings panel I'm very likely to get a new temp file. It's never opened in an edit window and the temp file never shows up in the site preview unless I browse directly to it.
    Weird and annoying for sure. When I get this intranet site completed I'll try and diagnose the problem. No time in the day to do that right now. Deadlines and family commitments don't leave me with the spare hour or so I'll need to figure out what's going on.
    OSX 10.7.4   Dreamweaver CS6 Version 12.0 Build 5808
    No errors in premissions. Ran a repair anyway. No change.
    Also, as per my other post, Dreamweaver is doing this on 3 different systems. A Dell laptop running Windows Ultimate, my iMac and my MacBook Pro.

  • StRaNgE preference files!

    My 17" MB Pro is used only for music production - never online. I have these strange .plist files showing up in my ~Library; e.g., 'com.Ratiess.BioExtra.plist', 'com.completebuy.vizor.plist', 'com.AMR.GeneralNew.plist', 'com.Anahuge.Politick.plist'. Different creation dates, all 2010; mod. dates same as creation. This is after I installed some software, about 10 apps & plug-ins, most of which I purchased legally. VirusBarrier (up to date) shows no malware on the drive.
    Using 10.6.5.
    Getting ready to do an erase & clean install 'cause I don't like that .plist *****.
    Any idea on what's going on?

    I think it's a similar thing to what was going on here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1662657?start=0&tstart=0. Incidentally, I've had some strange ones showing up recently, too. Mine are titled:
    com.alteneartechnology.writhen.plist
    com.AtenetsCorporation.Allvista.plist
    com.calledesign.serverclient.plist
    com.DevicsResearch.Achlorhydria.plist
    com.omnisac.indicate.plist
    com.RAM.Zonesys.plist
    When I try to open them with Property List Editor or QuickLook them, all it does is give me an error message that there's an unexpected error at line 1. Google doesn't find anything about any of them. They showed up right after I did a MobileMe Preference Sync, so I'm thinking the PreferenceSync Client could have mixed them up. Anyway I'm just going to delete them.

  • HT4796 System information shows files on my brand new MBP that I can't see anywhere in Finder?

    I'm brand new to Mac's. Very good with PC's but don't know my way around these machines very well. Bought a brand new pro today and started to do migration assistant at startup to transfer my itunes music and films from my windows pc to my mac over my network. I left it for 15 minutes and the bar didn't even move (transferring like 60gb) so I thought screw this and cancelled it on my pc (can't cancel on mac) and that canceled it on my mac too. I started over to just do my music as that's all that I really needed (10GB). Again it took too long so I canceled and thought I'd do it later and continued to set up my new mac. I then went into about this mac and under storage it says I have a load of files (below) but I can't find anything in Finder so where are they and are they some of my files that transferred over before I cancelled or are they system files (seems excessive to me to have over a gig of audio)
    Also when I go into finder and show all my files all I can see is this
    so where are all them files?
    Not tech savvy with Mac at all btw but I will be soon as I learn fast and am generally very good with computers

    No, it is normal. As I have said, there is a large quantity of system files that come with your mac. 1.22gb of music covers default ringtones, alert sounds, etc. 5gb of apps covers the default applications included with your mac. The movies and photos are probably icons and other media included in applications. You really have nothing to worry about.
    If this was a decade ago you would and should worry, however things seem to be progresively getting larger.

  • Opmn.xml file showing strange path and strange ias instance id

    hi every one,

    There are two kinds of "invisible" files and folders - those items whose names begin with a period, and those items which carry a "hidden" flag. Both are normally invisible to Finder, though Finder can be enabled to see them both. Terminal's ls command requires the -a option in order to see items with names that begin with a period, but does not need the -a option to see items that carry the "hidden" flag.
    Are you looking for something specific? You listed the contents of your home folder, which doesn't normally contain any executable system files, and doesn't normally contain any items which are invisible because of the "hidden" flag. The home folder does contain a few items with names beginning with a period, which you would be able to see if you use *ls -la*. Of these, the .Trash folder is probably the only item that is of practical interest.
    There are invisible system files and folders at the root level of your startup volume. If you want to see all of these, you can use
    ls -la /
    Even without the -a option, the command
    ls -l /
    will show those hidden system items that are of most practical interest (/Volumes, /bin, /etc, /private, /sbin, /tmp, /usr, /var )

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • Strange plist files found

    Browsing my ~/Library/Preferences folder I found some 'strange' plist files. Investigating I found I could NOT open them with plist editor. Looking at them with hexedit showed they are binary files. What I could not find so far is who creates them, but some searching hints they are not 'dangerous'.
    Some more details:
    They are ALL 286 bytes long.
    the names are:
    com.ElggGroup.Enterprisedigital.plist
    com.SysternatemsCorporation.Stoneworks.plist

    http://forum.waves.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4520
    But I certainly am not using ProTools and the WavePlugin with it.
    One interesting discovery was some sample code here:
    http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/FSMegaInfo/listing16.html
    There this hex sequence was repeated many times.
    My suspicion is that some software I have uses this (or similar) sample code and has not been cleaned. That does however not explain the choice of the plist file names. None of those names appear to relate to any software I have installed.
    My question is: how can I search for the culprit on my system? How can I use grep, find or whatever to e.g. search for the string of the plist name?
    And what are these files really? Resource forks? What's special about this byte sequence?
    Thanks for any input.

    Thanks for the kind and quick reply.
    They do indead. Binary and xml are possible starting with 10.4 as this article suggests:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071112175807360
    Another utility to check and convert plists from one format to another is plutil. But as you can see from the output below, the files are NOT valid plists. And, looking at the binary dump, is not surprising: It contains virtually no information.
    martin$ plutil com.utilineau.dogleg.plist
    com.utilineau.dogleg.plist:
    XML parser error:
    Unexpected character at line 1
    Old-style plist parser error:
    Unexpected character '0x0' at line 1
    martin$ plutil -convert xml1 com.utilineau.dogleg.plist
    com.utilineau.dogleg.plist: XML parser error:
    Unexpected character at line 1
    Old-style plist parser error:
    Unexpected character '0x0' at line 1
    As to your suggestion of using spotlight, it does not find anything. Which also is not surprising since it does NOT index every file, particularly binaries.
    My hope is to find the string tucked away in some binary. Afterall SOME software either created the plists or copied them to the user library. So the string of at least the 'company' names must be somewhere. Of course that could be in a compressed file so a direct search would not see it.
    I still think the files are bogus, searching for those names on google brings precious little. If it were a Windows machine, I'd say there's a virus...
    Further suggestions for investigations or hunting are much appreciated.

  • Remote not working - system files...?

    hi, sorry for the longish post, gonna detail what i've been doing and the other problems i've dealt with, for background. think the only problem left now tho is with the remote.
    i coincidentally used my apple remote for the first time yesterday, and it was working fine, with front row and mediacentre.
    then later on yesterday, i managed to screw up a lot of my system files using a program called 'monolingual' (it removed the ppc code from the files, leaving only the intel, end result being that rosetta stopped working). ended up reinstalling osx (10.4.6) from the discs that came with the macbook. from what i'd read, i'd been expecting to do an archive & install, but that wasn't offered, it just did an 'upgrade' (tho it was the same version) install of osx over the top.
    this fixed rosetta, and other than having to reinstall a couple of programs everything seems to be working normally, except that the remote isn't working at all. the macbook doesn't respond to it at all, the button combination to pair the remote to the mb has no effect, and there aren't even any options in the security preferences relating to the remote.
    any ideas how to fix this? any idea which system files are relevant to the remote, that might need refreshing? other suggestions?
    thanks,
    dave
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    yep it showed up in the hardware test.. then actually when osx booted back up, it complained about my logitech mouse driver not being installed properly, so i reinstalled that... then rebooted and it complained about some other extension mouse driver, so i reinstalled that... and when it rebooted again, the remote works again!
    guess the dodgy drivers were fouling up the usb stuff (yep today i learned that the ir receiver, and the isight, run on usb. today i also restarted my macbook more times than i have in the last few weeks since i got it).
    thanks for your help anyway

  • .xmp files showing up in my SD card when accessing RAW files in Finder... Very weird!

    Hi,
    I'm having a very weird problem...  I'm using a 4GB Scandisk SD card and am shooting my RAW photos on a Canon Rebel 2ti.  I'm using a Macbook Pro, 2011 2.3Ghz i5, 4gb of Ram, with Lion v. 10.7.2 and am accessing the SD card RAW files through Finder.  I'm secondary clicking on the image file or double clicking them as PS is my default opening program for RAW files.  When I hit the "Done" key on any of the Photoshop files, a new .xmp file shows up in Finder.  When I open it, it's a Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8 License Agreement...
    I do have Microsoft Office 11 installed and have never used Messenger.  It's not a huge deal, but it's driving me crazy and it's totally weird!
    Thanks,
    -Dave

    It's a lot of separate, unrelated things happening to you in one long chain, but each step is normal and explainable.
    You are opening raw files straight from a card into Photoshop. Photoshop will open them in Camera Raw. Camera Raw's preferences are set to save changes in XMP sidecar files. You are clicking Done, which applies the default Camera Raw processing, and that change generates an XMP file to store these new settings. That's why an XMP file is showing up in the same folder. On a computer, that's fine. But writing back out to a camera card with a device other than the camera is not recommended. What is recommended is to use another, faster way to preview raw files on a card without changing them (Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, Apple Aperture, Photo Mechanic, etc.), so that the card's left untouched as it should be.
    If you don't want the XMP file to be generated, you have to do just one of the following:
    In Camera Raw preferences, change the "Save image settings in" option to "Camera Raw database", not "Sidecar XMP files".
    Instead of clicking Done every time, which applies any changes, click Cancel instead, if you were just looking and not editing.
    Use something other than Photoshop to preview raw files. Most of the other ways are faster than opening them in Photoshop. The recommended workflow is to use a camera downloading utility to look through all the images on the card at once (instead of one by one as you are doing), and then select only the ones you want to bring into your computer. Bridge (via File > Get Photos from Camera, not by browsing), Lightroom, Aperture, and iPhoto all have that capability.
    As to why double-clicking an XMP file opens a Messenger license agreement: As you probably know, the system has to figure out what program should open a file with a given filename extension. It sounds like maybe both Adobe and Microsoft have used the XMP extension, and the Office installer probably associated it with some type of MS Messenger file. So when you double-click an XMP file, Mac OS X opens Messenger. Since you have not used Messenger before, it's showing you the "first run" screen for Messenger, and Microsoft has set it up so that you have to click Agree on the license agreement before using it. If you never click Agree, it will still be the "first run" next time you open Messenger, whether you meant to or not. You can use Get Info in the Mac Finder to reassign XMP to open in another program.
    You probably didn't expect so many things to happen from just opening a raw file off a card, but that's the way it worked out.

  • HELP - iMac can't find system file for start-up

    Hi,
    My Rev. B iMac (running OS 9.2) suddenly can't find the system file. I was working in MS Word for Mac when the system crashed. Upon start-up the computer couldn't find the system and showed a flashing question mark in an old floppy disk icon.
    I started from my original OS 8.5 Install disk and ran disk utilities. That fixed a problem that was detected.
    BUT the flashing disk continued at start-up.
    I tried to "re-bless" the system folder as described in the Apple iMac trouble shooting guide, but no luck.
    All my data is still on the hard drive, I just can't get the machine to start from the hard drive -- it will only start from the Install CD.
    Any ideas on how I can get it to start up?
    I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Installing OS 8.5 is not needed, since there is no update available to take any version of OS 8 to any version of OS 9. An OS 9 install must start with a full-install CD; for your model, that means any retail OS 9 Install CD (white label, gold 9).
    What version of OS 9 was on the hard drive - OS 9.2.1, or OS 9.2.2?
    What version OS 9 Install CD do you have available?

  • How to access system files

    How to see system files in Finder (e.g. the main mail data file) ?

    Not sure what "system files" you mean, but you might find it when you have Finder opened and look in your Menu bar (which starts with the  logo).
    Then you find "Go" to the right.
    1. For the system files -> Click Computer in the list, then Macintosh HD (Or what ever your hard disk is named) and then there is a folder name "System".
    You might also mean that you are trying to find the library, which is located there also.
    2. If it is the library you are seeking, you might need the "User Library" which is hidden by default.
    To get that, open the "Go" menu again and then press and hold the "Option(or alt)" on your keyboard.
    Then "Library" will show up in the middle of the list, and that is your user library.
    I hope I was a bit of help, please do note that these folders contain very important information.
    I strongly advise you to only adjust anything in there, if you perfectly know what you are doing.
    Cheers~

  • System Prefs show Airport "OFF" but in menu bar I can turn on... pls look

    Good day.
    System Profiler sees the Airport card however shows no network. (This has been running with no problems for months)
    System Prefs, Network shows the Airport card as "OFF" even tho I can turn it "on" up on the menu bar. (it takes two times to turn it on via the network bar)
    It still cannot see the network. (I am 802.11n everywhere and I'm using my MBP on the network I've been using for months)
    The bottom line is I can't get my MacPro 3.0Ghz to see the network and the system profes show it's on even tho I can turn it on and off via the network bar.
    Note: I've also plugged in a airport express via the Mac Pro's enet port and it simply cannot see it.
    Any advise please.
    Thanks
    Tom

    I am having a very similar problem. Did you find any fixes for this?
    I have a snow base station and have no problems connecting to it with a clamshell iBook running OS X. But with my PowerBook G4, whenever I turn Airport on and try to access the base station, the airport status icon constantly flashes, almost like a pulse.
    Today I took my PowerBook to a hot spot, and Airport worked great, so I know that my card is fine.
    One thing I'm wondering about -- what firmware are you using on your base station? I currently have 4.0.4, so it's possible that upgrading to 4.0.9 will solve this problem. I'm reluctant for the moment to try the firmware upgrade because the clamshell iBook connects to the snow base station so smoothly. I don't want to mess up one set-up while trying to fix another.
    I'll check back in case you have new information, including (I hope) a fix for this.

  • IMac 500GB HDD occupied by 499.25 "other" files while all other types of files show "0 KB", what gives?

    iMac 500GB HDD occupied by 499.25 GB "other" files while all other types of files show "0 KB", what gives?
    I've tried cleaning up the HDD from HD tool twice and pressed command-option-P-R while restarting the Mac afterwards. The avaliable HDD space "improved" from 1.3 MB to 121 MB after the first restart and descresed down to 119MB after the second restart. I have kept very little AV files as well as doucment files. My application programs are just several GB. Is this a system problem. Do I have to reinstall the system?
    Much appreciate any advice!!
    BTW Apple customer service is on HOILDAY these two days from where I'm staying...

  • Message not coming to Receiver system - File to RFC

    I have a small problem in File to RFC connection. We are trying to create a PO using a BAPI. In the XI system , it shows the XML is processed successfully but PO is not generated in the R/3 system.
    Is there any way to check whether the message has come to the receiver system. In fact we tried with a dummy insert command in a Z table . Even that’s not happening. I thing the message is not at all coming to the receiver system, but the SXMB_MONI in Xi shows the message got processed successfully.
    Do we need to make any settings in the Receiver system?

    hi,
    did you commit this bapi:
    a) in the rfc adapter (in your communication channel) if you have sp14
    b) in the bapi wrapper if you have < sp14  ?
