Is there any ways how to retrieve this folder: /var/db/volinfo.database. Luckily the files in the trash are not deleted yet. But what shall I do now?

Hi,
I am using Mavericks and my MacBook is MacBook Pro with Retina Mid 2012.
And I made a little silly mistake, I deleted db folder, which is this:
/var/db/volinfo.database
Luckily, the files in Trash have not been deleted (I am not sure). because the trash stops me from emptying the trash.
However, I cannot go into Users and Groups Preferences folder in system preferences app.
And also, every time I tried to move back the db folder into the right place with Put Back Option,
it will go into Finder's username and password, asking me to enter my information. But it "shakes" back at me as if it is rejecting my account.
What shall I do now?

Are you running an administer account? 1) If you delete that file, it is automatically recreated. 2) You would still be able to empty your trash. What is the error message you are receiving?
Open Terminal. Post the output of the following command:
cat /private/var/db/volinfo.database

While trying a fix I noticed there are 2 corrupt files in Firefox profile. What should I do?

Trying to get the closing multiple tabs warning I followed the instructions and opened the profile folder. I made the changes but it didn't help. Then I noticed that 2 other files are corrupt.

Are the bookmarks and history working in the Firefox 3.6.x version?
If that is the case then you can remove those two files.
This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I mistakenly downloaded the explicit version of a song and now can't seem to delete it. I've put the file in the trash, I've deleted it in my music library but everytime I sync my phone to my computer it reappears. Help! This is so frustrating.

I purchased an explicit version of a song by mistake. I then went back on line and purchased the clean version. I've deleted it from my itunes library but when I sync it with my phone, it reappears. How do I remove it permanently? It almost seems like what's on my phone is what appears on my computer and not the other way around.
Help!

Ghost file in the Dock, how to delete?

Hi!
I recently can see a file in the Download folder in the Dock. I can't see it in the Download folder in Finder. If I try to"catch" it I get a message "The Application can't be found". I find it irritating and would like to delete the file. It is named 4_Kkt409.part, What is a .part file anyway?? Does anyone know?

After some searching on the Internet
I found that the .part file is a partial file from an unsuccessfull download in Firefox. I had a such a week ago. The application Onyx has a cleaning feature for deleting the icon cache from the Dock. It worked. I had to restart and also change the dock settings as I like to have them

2 Questions: Missing audio files...and How to delete audio files

I have two nagging issues associated with my podcast at iTunes.
First, audio files are missing from the podcast. Everytime I post m4a files to my podcast, they are added to an xml file, and to the podcast. The xml file is complete, but some files are not making the trip to the podcast.
Second, I have a need to delete some of the audio files which appear in my podcast. How do I do that?
Thanks!

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

Corrupted file unable to remove from trash because it is running. Unable to shut it down.

I had recently converted some video tapes into dvds as well as disks that I could download onto the computer. I did not realize that I installed a dvd into the drive instead of the downloadable disk when I asked the computer to download the files. Instead of not performing the task, the computer partially download the dvd. Now I have this file on my desktop and when I put it into trash I can't remove it from trash because it is running. In other words there is a corrupted file that I have no way of stopping or deleting. Any suggestions? I could leave this file alone but since it is running I'm not sure how much memory it is diverting.

What is the name of the file? If you open Activity Monitor, set to All Processes, then is it displayed in the Name list?
Restarting kills all running processes. If this is not a system file, then you have it installed somewhere that is launching it automatically upon startup. You should look in your /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/ folder or your /Library/LaunchAgents/ or /Library/LaunchDaemons/ folder for a file related to this one. Until you kill that one you will not be able to delete the one are having trouble deleting.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

Please help! My Itunes says corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling so I moved it to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I can't delete or open to close it, what do I do

Please help!
My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

Corrupt file in trash

I've got a corrupt file in the Trash that I can't get rid of.
In the "Name" field it starts with an icon resembling a document with the top right corner folded back.
The 2nd, 3rd & 4th characters look like Unicode 22E1, except there are 4 dots.
The fifth character looks like Unicode 00F6.
The 6th and 7th characters are identical to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
Next comes a dot (period) a space and two more Unicode 22E1 characters.
The "Date Modified" field is 31-DEC-03 at 4:00 pm with the "Size" field at zero KB and the "Kind" is an Alias.
I've tried the Terminal command "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash"
to no avail.
I can empty the trash, hear the crumpled paper, look in the Trash and the file is still there.
Move it out onto the desktop and it disappears.
Close the Trash, open the Trash again and lo and behold it's back!!!
Any suggestions???
THanks in advance

Corrupted iTunes cannot be trashed

I have a corrupted version of iTunes on my new Mac. I will uninstall it, then download a new iTunes. After I dragged the corrupted file to the trash and tried to empty the trash, I get a message: "The operation cannot be completed because the item 'iTunesHelper is in use.' " What can I do to get rid of the corrupted file? Thanks, Jeff

MJ- Thanks. This worked. Did not have to log out and log back in.
After I went to System Prefs > Accounts > Login Items > and unchecked "iTunes Helper" I was able to empty the trash.
However, iTunesHelper is still listed there, and when I search "itunes" in Spotlight, it still finds a number of items. Do I need to track down each of those items and trash them before reinstalling? Thank you. -Jeff

Having trouble with backing up my iBooks and possibly a corrupted file

I have several iPad ebook and PDF purchases that were not from the iTunes store that I would like to backup somewhere, either in the cloud or on my Mac. I cannot figure out how to do this. When I tried syncing books in iTunes, it wants to replace everything on the iPad with what's on my Mac, which would be a disaster. If anything happens to my iPad, I will lose these books. How can I back them up?
In a related question, the issue that started all this was an epub I purchased from LexisNexis, a rather large book (8 mb, thousands of pages). The first time I opened it, it was fine, but after the second time I think the file got corrupted because it freezes whenever I try to navigate anywhere in the book. If the file has gotten corrupted, I have no idea how to delete the book so that I can reinstall it. I have no idea what to do. I know this is technically two questions in one post (sorry) but I'm really at a loss. I need that book, and I'd really like the peace of mind knowing my books are backed up somewhere if my iPad dies. Thanks!

iCloud only syncs contacts in your iCloud group, not contacts from other services such as hotmail. You need to copy or move the contacts from the Hotmail group to the iCloud group in order for them to sync with your iCloud account. If you have both groups in a contact managment program on your computer that is syncing with your iCloud account you can drag and drop them between groups there. If not, you'll need to use an app like Speed Names to do this on your phone.

View hidden files in my trash

okay first off I feel like the biggest idiot. I'm transferring my data to a new imac. the songs in iTunes were duplicated so I decided to delete the songs in itunes and re-import the library. well after I deleted them I go into the trash and they are not there. At the bottom of the trash it says there are 9,717 files in the trash - I just can not see them!!! How can i view them?? please help!

what you describe sounds strange. those files should not be hidden. Regardless, you can make hidden files visible with a 3rd party utility like TinkerTool

Possible corrupt file...Final Cut crashing

Running final cut studio 2. I have an HDV documentary with roughly 460 hours of footage spread over an Xserve RAID and six glyph drives. The project keeps failing after trouble shooting and splitting the project over six smaller "chapter" projects.
Could this be a corrupt file? If so how do I search for it? Also, have there been a lot of problems with people using glyph drives and HDV projects.
Thank you

460 hours is a lot. A whole lot, no really, like, lots!
One way you might be able to search for the bad media file would be to temporarily take the media drive offline, open the project, and re-mount the drive to reconnect the clips when the project comes up with the missing files dialog. This will at least alllow you to reconnect files or whole folders one at a time to help narrow it down.
Also, if the problem just surfaced recently, you may be able to go to a previous version or autosave to get back to the point at which the project was able to open.
When you say failing, failing how? crashing, not opening, won't play, locks up? can't export?

IPod Nano 3rd Gen Corrupted File

Hello Everyone
So I have two computers, I have a PC laptop running Windows 7 and a MacBook Pro. I originally connected my Nano to my macbook to sync to iTunes, but I want to transfer everything to my PC, including my Nano. I've tried to restore my Nano on my PC, but it says that there is a corrupted file, and I don't know what this means....I also already sold my MacBook and can't get it back.
Is there a way this can be fixed?
Thanks

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Perhaps try reformatting using the instructions provided in this article. Just make sure it's not a quick format. And yes the instructions were written for Windows XP, but the steps are quite similar on Windows 7.
