Suspicious file that has appeared on Macintosh HD

Hey there,
I've just opened 'Macintosh HD' to find a file called 'gmon.out' sitting there in the main directory. I was wondering whether anyone has come across this before and has any advice about what I should do with it. I have linked a screenshot of the file and the 'Get Info' box about it:

Hi xinfinityx!
An application or program you have on your system, is writing that file.
Here are some other topics related to it.

It indicates corrupt files. You will need to restore.

Where has it appeared?
You can forcibly remove it via the terminal..this will bypass flags/permissions preventing you from deleting it.
sudo rm -rf /path/to/file/C1EC7FOO
Note that the path to file needs to be the actual path. What you do is type sudo rm -rf , then just drag the file right into terminal and the path will be entered. Make sure there is a space between "-rf" and the "path." Make sure you copy the exact command and path to file. Make sure NOT to hit Return before you drag the file into terminal if you choose the latter method. This is a dangerous command if used improperly. Very effective, though, in cases such as yours.
Once entered, hit return. Enter your password. Type "exit." Close Terminal.

FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?

FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?
As an animator, I am constantly modifying and overwriting movies files that have already been imported into the Final Cut time line. In FCP7, I could easily modify and update movie files and have those changes appear in the timeline without the need to reimport and re-edit those clips, but FCPX seems to lose it's connection with any modified or overwritten file, making all the editing work I've done to these files worthless.
Does anyone know of a way to reconnect to a modified or overwritten file? Because, this one single issue makes FCPX completely worthless to me.

If you import the new clip , select it and drag over the old offline clip , you can choose from the menu ...

How can I take a file that has individual letters in it and save each one as a seperate file?

I have a file that has 55 letters to individuals in it and I want to save each page as a seperate file by the name of the person. Can I do this?

The built-in Extract command will do it, but if you want each letter named using a specific name you would need a script.

How to create a .mdf SQL Server database from a Data-Tier Application file that has data?

This is a noob question, though I do use SQL Server databases all the time with Entity Framework when I code in C# using Visual Studio 2013. The development environment is found below at [A]. I am trying to make a clone of a SQL Server 2008 R2
database (.mdf) that exists online. I can read, connect and work with this database in Visual Studio 2013, but I wish to make a local copy of the database, as an .MDF file. Somewhere in my notes I have a way of creating a local copy from
an online database when using Visual Studio but I forgot how (it seems, reviewing my notes, that it deals with ADO.NET which is deprecated in Visual Studio 2013 these days, or so it seems). So I'm looking for another way. What I did was create
(or export) a "Data-Tier Application File" from the online SQL Server database, with data, and it seems to have worked in that this Data-Tier Application file exists on my hard drive and seems to have data in it ("SQL Server Replication Snapshot"
is the format it seems). It contains skeleton code to create a database, but when I tried to execute it with SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I got a bunch of errors.
So my question is:
1) Can I somehow create a .MDF SQL Server Database from an Data-Tier Application file that has data? What tool do I use? I saw this link, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2639.how-to-use-data-tier-application-import-and-export-with-a-windows-azure-sql-database.aspx
and it relates to Azure, but is there a tool for C#Visual Studio 2013, standalone?
2) If there's an easy way to create a .mdf SQL Server Database file from an online file, within SQL Server Management Studio? I don't think so, since it would require Administrator permissions on the online server, which I don't have. I have permission
to read, update, delete the online database file, but strangely not to download it (the service I use has a tool for backup, but not for download).
3) same question as 2), but for Visual Studio 2013? I don't think so, since I notice none of the templates even mentions ADO.NET anymore, but instead they go with Entity Framework. Using EF I can of course do anything I want with the online database
(CRUD), but it remains online. Maybe there's a switch to make a local copy? I guess I could write a short program to suck all the data out of the online database and put it into a new, duplicate database having the same tables, that I create on
my localhost, but my question here is if there's an easier way than this, maybe a tool or command I can run from inside Visual Studio?
Any advice on any of the above questions is appreciated.
Thank you,
Paul

Thanks but these links are too general to help.
"2. what do you mean by online file?" - I mean the SQL Server database file is on a remote web server that I rent from, but I am not the administrator of. I can access my database using SQL Server Authentication, but nothing more.

What do you mean by too general? It explains on how you can use data tier application to create and deploy databases
May be this will help you to understand better

That's the portrait orientation lock (keeps the screen from rotating to landscape mode). To turn it off, double-tap the home button, swipe the list at the bottom to the right, then tap the left-most icon (to the left of the music controls).

A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail. When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name. I have gone to the window pop-down to 'previous recipients' and deleted that addressee as well as all the email addresses it is assigning to that name. I have also deleted the account entirely from my address book. I have have run repair permissions and also full defrag in iDefrag. Still the problem persists. Any suggestions?

I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

'''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

Printing the percentage of the file that has been loaded

Hello everyone!
I'm using a FileInputStream and a DataInputStream to read my .DAT file, but I want to print out the amount of percentages of the file that has been loaded, in a System,out.print(""); statement, please tell me how I can do this. :)
            fileInStream = new FileInputStream("C:/Documents and Settings/Benjamin Dahse/Dokumenter" +
                    "/NetBeansProjects/Online Multiplayer Game Client/build/classes/net/client/game/io/Cache/" +
                    "main_file_cache.DAT");
            dataInStream = new DataInputStream(fileInStream);This by the way, is how I get the path to the file, I want my DataInputStream to read.

Thank you for your comment, but out of this code:
            int percentage = 0;
            byte[] buffer = new byte[15000000];
            while(true){
                percentage += dataInStream.read(buffer, percentage, Math.min(buffer.length,
                        fileInStream.available() - percentage));
                System.out.print(percentage / fileInStream.available() + "\n");
                if(percentage >= fileInStream.available()){
                    break;
            }The only output I get is 3?

How do I fix or open a corrupted PDF file that has been corrupted by some sort of programmatically emailing?
Please see the following screen shot:

Well, it is a pdf file, and it once was a readable one, I suppose.
It must have data on the hex or binary level that can be retrieved.
If necessary, I will have to look into the file format of a PDF file? Is this documented?
