Uninstalling invisible files from OSX

I installed a program called invisible oasis on my computer and I can't figure out how to remove it from OSX. The instructions on how to use/unintall the software follow, but I can't find any of these folder/files on my OSX. Please help.
Thanks,
T
InvisibleOasis
This installer places an invisible copy of oasis
called InvisibleOasis in the active extensions ƒ.
You must restart the machine to activate oasis.
InvisibleOasis will trap all keystrokes entered
on the installed machine and save to dated files
located in System Folder:Preferences:Temporary
Files ƒ.
To remove the invisible extension, use MacTools,
ResEdit or a similar app, which has the ability
to manipulate invisible files.

Hi tsisterman,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
InvisibleOasis is an OS9-only utility and does not work in MacOS X. Go to the OS 9 Systemfolder and track it down at :Preferences:Temporary Files ƒ

Restore invisible files from CD

Im not so sure to place topic here, but suppose to find answer of the problem.
Here is a dvd disc with audio files, but after burning on pc, they are unseen on Mac and pc computers both. Look at Google and find a software
CDR Diagnostic/pc,
that can see and restore the files, but it is for win only. My question is:
Wich program for Mac can restore invisible files from CD? I need equivalent to CDR Diagnostic for mac. Will aprecciate any help, thanks.

Windows machines can read Windows files, most of the time. As far as Windows is concerned, the Mac does not exist. They make no accommodation for its unique file formats, and it is not unusual for Windows to "loose" portions of Mac files and entire Mac files.
I expect that if you could read the CDR perfectly, you would find that your files never made it to the CDR.
The solution is to make it possible for the Mac to burn those CDs. The Mac can make a CD that reads just fine in a PC, and the Blue & White G3 can be upgraded to do it.

How can I have the permission to modified my windows files from OSX?

I've had installed the Windows OS on my macbook pro and I want to modified some files on the windows 7 folder from the OSX . I can do some operation like copying the file from the windows user folder and paste it on the Macintosh partition hardisk, but i can't delete or paste the file from/into it. The same thing happened when i'm running the Windows 7 OS and i can't modified the files on the OSX folders. How can i fix this? Seems like i should make a master account that can access any kind of files from any OS, but i don't know how? tq

You'll need ad Add-On peice of software. I donm't remember the names but a Google search for "access NTFS volume for OS X" should turn them up and "Access Mac extended format from Windows" should turn up the ones for Windows.

Individually Password protected files from OSX 2.8 not opening in OSX 4.6

I have a few files that I password protected in OSX2.8 that will not open now in OSX 4.6. The are not part of the vault type protection. It seems that the feature of individually password protecting files in the earlier OSX system do not open, nor give the option to even give the password. In the get info window there is no option to change or type in the password. The password is not related to the administrator password and it seems that it was a feature that did not follow through to the later OSX version. The only alternative I can think of is to install OSX 2 on an external and hope it gives me the option.
Does anyone know how to deal with this type of individually protected file in OSX 4.6? I have tried the vault, and the get info, but nothing seems to work to even give me the option to enter a password for an individual file. They are jpeg, and QuickTime, and Photoshop .psd files.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Moving email files from OSX thunderbird to Mail

how can i safely migrate email files from Thunderbird to Mail...both are running under OSX 10.10 Thunderbird?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

How do I uninstall an add on file from the Seamonkey browser?

HOW DO I UNINSTALL AN ADD ON FILE FROM MY SEAMONKEY BROWSER?
Mozilla needs to make their products more user friendly. There is a multitude of people out there
who are "NOT" very computer literate. Older people like myself, for example, who are old
school, have a difficult time being dragged kicking and screaming into the electronic generation.
My grandchildren are better at this kind of stuff than I am; yet we really don't have much choice
but to try and make the transition, because I have found that there are a lot of types of business
that you cannot get done unless you are willing to do it with a computer, going online.
My problem is not with Firefox (I don't use it because it is too slow) , because I use the Seamonkey browser. The problem I now have is that when I try to download some software, I get a message that says I must first uninstall a certain “add on” file, (npfdm.dll.), a "Free Download Manager" file. When I get the list of add ons through the “help” drop down menu, there is “NO” link or any way I can see that will allow me to uninstall this file from the add on list. Therefore, Seamonkey becomes useless to me. Someone please help me with this. Thank you.

Finding invisible files

I had Imagemagick working perfectly fine but I got my Mac unusable so I reinstalled Leopard and did all updates and put back my user folder from time machine. When I try:
$ montage *.jpg -tile 8x4 -mode Concatenate a.gif
I get:
-bash: montage: command not found
I think I remember I put something in a .bashrsc
Can I find an invisible file in Time Machine?
If not, what should I do for my old magick to purr again?

I have absolutely no idea about your imagemagick problem but it sounds like either you didn't install it properly or didn't modify your PATH variable.
searching for invisible files via time machine interface does not work (it's a known bug) but if you know exactly which file it is you can make invisible files visible in Finder using the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE; killall Finder
then open the TM drive in Finder (not using Time machine) and restore your .bashrc file. also keep in mind that ~/.bashrc is only executed when you start bash as a nonlogin shell. so if you simply open a terminal window then ~/.bashrc is NOT executed. you might also want to modify ~/.bash_profile. Consult man bash for which files bash loads in which situations.
P.S. to hide invisible files from Finder run
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE; killall Finder

My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search. Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari? I am running osX 10.10.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
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 Internet criminal behind VSearch 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 has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

How to make a image file from Pre installed Mac osx ? "PLEASE HELP :("?

hey guys ..Thanks u for the time.
So i have this eMac which has crashed and i have got may hands on another eMac.. and it works
... the only problem is.. I can take my eMac to the working eMac to do Target Mode or any thing...
So Help me..
My question is .. Is there a way to make a .DMG image file from pre installed mac osx OR
Is there a way to may a recovery disc??

You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from the working eMac onto the non-working eMac while the working eMac is running. If your eMac will still do target mode into the working one, you can download the above software, select the booted drive as the source drive, and your eMac's drive as the target, however it is possible this will not work.
When you say your eMac crashed, what exactly happened? It is possible that the hard drive in your eMac failed or is failing, so in order to get it running again you would need to replace the hard drive. On the eMac, this repair is somewhat involved, and you have to be very careful because it exposes the CRT, which has several areas which can be extremely dangerous to touch if not properly handled. CRTs retain a great deal of voltage, even when unplugged, sometimes for weeks, and they can give you a nasty shock if you touch them in the wrong place.
Also keep in mind that cloning from the working computer to the non-working computer will ERASE any data that you have stored on that eMac, so if you don't have it backed up anywhere, you may want to attempt that with target mode before proceeding.
Good luck!

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.
