Thumb32Segment.data, what is it, and why are they in my iphoto?`

How are these thumbs getting into my iphoto library in finder?
They look like documents, and it doesn't appear to be from my camera...what are thumbs anyways? Thank everyone.

No, you can't preview them. They are not User documents. The are used by the Application itself. The actual thumbnails themselves are in the Data folder. These files are part of the back ground database that runs iPhoto.
Just to caution you: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss

  • What is AIVMFile and why are they creating themselves?

    There was a couple in the root folder of my hard drive, now there are hundreds. Can I delete? Is it some attempt at spy ware? Thanks!

    I just ended up with 2117 AIVMFileXXX files at the root level of my startup drive, after Adobe Illustrator sucked up all my remaining hard disk space while working on several AI docs in Illustrator CS6. I had to force-quit Illustrator and restart my MacBook Pro because I was down to 200 MB of free space on my drive! I presume AIVMFile means Adobe Illustrator Virtual Memory File. Note that all the AIVMFileXXX were zero K in size. I simply deleted them.

  • Why have the Firefox Themes that i was using now stopped working and why are they unavailable to me?

    After upgrading again just days after a previous Mozilla Firefox update, my themes are now completely unavailable to me and do not appear at the top of the Firefox page even if i try changing from one to another and instead i have (Private Browsing) being displayed instead like i'm supposed to know or care what that means?
    Isn't all non - public browsing, "private browsing"?
    Is that to be my new theme?
    How hard is it for Mozilla to just leave the well - enough alone with the page and why provide upgrades every five days, your customers HATE it!

    hello, it is a known issue that light-weight themes are currently not shown when firefox is set to never remember history (a.k.a. always run in private browsing mode) in firefox/tools > options > privacy. this will be corrected in the upcoming firefox release.

  • What are .frameworks, and why are they freezing my computer?? Help!

    It seems as though every time I open an audio program (Garage Band mainly), a folder entitled CoreMIDIserver.framework pops up on my dock, bounces for a bit, and then proceeds to freeze my computer. I have to force quit it every time. Frameworks are located in System-Library-Frameworks. I looked them up online and it wasn't very helpful.
    What can I do to fix this? Why does it keep popping up? Can I delete it, or would that potentially cause more problems?
    I really really REALLY need to use pro audio and the fact that it's not working is killing me. Any help is much appreciated!
    Tim G.

    I had a couple of problems with other frameworks.
    I used Pacifist to "Update Prebinding" for entire system.
    It cleared up my framework console errors among other things.

    It’s called “Stop” and “Go To Previous Page”. Is it relatet to IE browser, -and if so… does anyone use it?

    I am far from an expert but I have never seen this before and wonder if I should do something.
    Generally it is not a good idea to be poking around in the System Folder, trying to second guess files and plist. There are literally 1000's of files  in your System Folder you will have no idea why they are there.
    If you want to do house keeping stick to your username folder. Therefore any damage done is limited to your user account.
    My computer was not going to sleep.
    Did you try >SystemPreferences>EnergySaver.  Make configuration changes here.

  • What are these ports 989, 1021, 1033 and why are they always ON?

    I have noticed unknown network traffic on Activity Monitor, even I close all application, AM still shows there's about 1~2 KB (Data received).
    So, I open a Terminal and check by 'netstat' command. I notice there's some unknown tcp connections established. Is there anyone know what are these ports, and is it normal to have them ON all the time ?
    $ netstat -n | grep EST
    (..omited)
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1033 127.0.0.1.989 ESTABLISHED
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.989 127.0.0.1.1033 ESTABLISHED
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1033 127.0.0.1.1021 ESTABLISHED
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1021 127.0.0.1.1033 ESTABLISHED

    These ports are some of those used by the NetInfo subsystem which keeps track of your computer's users, groups, and some other information about its configuration. Since the IP addresses listed for those connections are all 127.0.0.1, your computer is connecting to itself; having these open isn't a cause for concern.

  • What are "dyld" and "brtool" and why are they breaking my Lion installation?

    I have an up-to-date Snow Leopard Server installation with software RAID, and cannot complete the upgrade to Lion Server. At the "restart" step, the installation throws an error and says to try again.
    Here's the header from the crash report:

    Any suggestions (besides "wipe the drives and don't use RAID")?

    Dear Friends
    I'm getting this same error ("... dependent dylib #1 could not be loaded") on a 2x3GHz quad-core Mac Pro with 17GB of memory. I'm installing on top of 10.6.8 on a two-drive, two-slice Apple software RAID.
    I'm downloading the Lion installer for the third time today and will try for the umpteenth time to install it. I've used another internal drive, a bootable DVD, and a USB flash drive, all to no avail.
    If anyone knows a solution that doesn't involve erasing my drives, I'd appreciate your sharing it.
    (Before I had a kid I would've installed Lion the day it was released. But now I'm short on time and waited more than six months after its release before trying to install it on our production Mac so I wouldn't encounter such problems. Hehe. I installed Lion on the day of its release on our MacBook Pro and didn't have any problems.)

  • In iphoto, what are themes and why are they not loaded?

    I uploaded some pics to my iphoto as usual. then went to print and it stated that i needed themes to continue.
    I did have the HD swapped out due to the recall for my model. The ML 10.8, was installed and all the software
    rest of the back up was done via the timemachine. I really have been have trouble with little things other than
    printing from iPhoto.. Any help would be appreciated.
    Tim

    Thank you, I will try that. It seems that since we had the HD replaced we come up on these types of things that just dont connect.
    Thank you for the suggestion.

  • Why does the South African App Store have so little apps. And why are they no games?

    I live in South Africa and the App Store is pathetic. There are no Games at all. Why is the U.S App Store SO much better? I feel like I wasted my money on my iPad.

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

    iPhotos is still in your Applications folder. The iPhoto Library is still in your /Home/Pictures/ folder.

    Everything seems to work but I'd rather the problem went away. What is QTKitServer and why isn't it working?
    I also get this similar stuff every few seconds throughout the day:

    I don't know if they're related or what osascript is or what's calling it - I don't see it in the activity monitor. Again, everything seems to work but these errors must mean something....
    Thanks for any help.

    Hmmm.... After experimenting with various applications I found get the osascript error everytime I use dropbox, guess I need to talk to them. Still haven't found a reason for the QTKitServer message.

  • Android.process.acore?  What is this and why does it keep not working?

    Help: I've had my Lucid 3 phone since May and this phone has been the most confusing thing to operate.  I'm currently having three (3) issues:
    The Wi-Fi is not working...I keep getting the symbol refreshing.  I can't turn the Wi-Fi on or off.  I read "Turning Wi-Fi on..." when I go to the setting for Wi-Fi but this has been going on for 3 hours.  C'mon!  My Wi-Fi at home is working great; that's how I'm writing this post. Help!
    To add to the misery: I keep getting a pop-up notification that reads: "Unfortunately, the android.process.acore has stopped."  What is this and why does it not work. The phone's been getting this message for a week now...help!
    Last concern: I'm still not getting multimedia texts (particularly pictures).  The data and Wi-Fi were on...well, that's when the Wi-Fi was working (please refer to complaint #1 above).  What the heck?
    This phone is terrible news and I can't wait to replace it.  In the meantime, the phone needs to work. Help.
    -Salo

        We certainly want to clear up all the confusion and have a working phone in your hands, srodezno. Let's take this one issue at a time:
    1. How long ago did this trouble with WiFi start? Are you able to connect to any alternate WiFi signals other than the one at home?
    2. Do you get that notification when you access anything in particular? Did it begin when you updated or installed any application?
    3. Are you still able to access other data services (web, apps, Play Store, etc) while the WiFi is off/not working? Are you able to send the MMS messages?
