Unknown item in finder

hi,
i hope that this is the correct place to post this. I hace recently noticed this in the left hand pane of the finder:/Users/anthonyryan/Desktop/whatisit.tiff
I have no idea how it got there or what it is. Any ideas?
/Users/anthonyryan/Desktop/whatisit2.tiff

The left-hand pane of the Finder is called the sidebar. In it are shortcuts to files, folders, drives, & so on -- not the actual items. To find where the actual files & folders reside, command (or right) click on the sidebar item & select "Open Enclosing Folder" from the contextual menu.
From the name, this item appears to be an image file on the desktop of user account "anthonyryan." If this is not the name of your account, it may be that of some other account on your Mac, & you may not have access privileges to its enclosing folder.
In any case, if the file's folder can't be found, you can just drag the file shortcut off the sidebar & it will be deleted.

Lost unknown item from Finder sidebar

Hi,
I just accidentally deleted an item from the Finder sidebar, under the "Devices" section. I don't know what it was but I think it may be important. Is there any way to find out?
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi.
Don't fret too much about it. The Finder Sidebar is just one way to access items on your Mac. Items can be added and removed from the sidebar all day, but they still reside on your hard drive.
To see how it works in 10.8 (not sure about 10.6) select an item, a file on your desktop for example and press ⌘T. The item should now display on the sidebar.
To remove a sidebar item, press ⌘ while you drag the item from the sidebar and it will disappear in a puff of smoke.
Fun, huh?
I hope this is helpful.
EDIT - See this Apple link.

Unknown item in Finder:Shared

When I open Finder and look under "Shared", I see two items: my Time Capsule and something called "3e280e000000".
Any idea what this is? Or how I can figure it out?

Thanks - I thought of that and turned off the printer, but the device stayed in the Finder under Shared.
But just now I shut down and re-started the computer with the printer powered down, and it disappeared from Finder:Shared.
Mystery solved.

Data Load Error - Unknown Item

Under the advisement of an Oracle engineer our users were instructed to export the data from one of their DBs using "Level 0 Data", and then import the data back into the database. This process was needed in order to allow us to restore compression on our DBs as it had been lost during a patching process.
In any event,
I've exported the data to a .txt file and now I am attempting to load the file back into the database. I am receiving the below error:
Parallel dataload Enabled: [1] block prepare threads, [1] block write threads.
Unknown Item[-1. #IND] in Data Load, [360639] Records Completed.
Unexpected Essbase error 1003000
I did some searching on the web and located a discussion topic dealing with this type of an error. Id indicated that the error was related to an attempt to write a value to the DB that does not have a corresponding "table" in the DB. I 'kind of see' that from the error message, but I don’t understand how it could be occurring if the data export and import are occurring on the exact same application DB.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It is a planning database, if so log on my oracle support and have a read of -
Error "1003000 Unknown Item [1.#QNAN] or [-1.#IND] in Data Load, [xxxx] Records Completed" [ID 961934.1]
Even if it is not there is invalid data that has been exported.
Cheers

Get-Item: Cannot find path ' ' because it does not exist. While running Powershell script.

I am trying to run a PowerShell script to upload files into a SharePoint site in an Azure environment...the script works fine on my local machine, but every time I run it in Azure (remotely), I get errors. Here is what my simple script looks like...
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null )
Write-Host "Loading Sharepoint Module "
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
Add-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell) -eq $null )
Write-Host "Failed to load sharepoint snap-in. Could not proceed further, Aborting ..."
Exit
#Script settings
$webUrl = "http://sampleWebUrl"
$docLibraryName = "My Documents"
$docLibraryUrlName = "My%20Documents"
$localFolderPath = get-childitem "C:\Upload\Test Upload\My Documents\" -recurse
$contentType = "ContenttType1"
#Open web and library
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
write-host "Web:" $web
$docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
write-host "docLibrary:" $docLibrary
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()
write-host "files:" $files
If ($contentType = "ContenttType1")
#Open file
$fileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $file.FullName)).OpenRead()
# Gather the file name
$FileName = $File.Name
#remove file extension
$NewName = [IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($FileName)
#split the file name by the "-" character
$FileNameArray = $NewName.split("_")
$check = $FileNameArray.Length
#Add file
$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibrary.rootFolder.URL)
write-host "Copying file " $file.Name " to " $folder.ServerRelativeUrl "..."
$spFile = $folder.Files.Add($folder.Url + "/" + $file.Name, [System.IO.Stream]$fileStream, $true)
$spItem = $spFile.Item
write-host "Success"
write-host "SP File:" $spFile
write-host "SP Item" $spItem
#populate columns
$spItem["Column1"] = $FileNameArray[0]
$spItem["Column2"] = $FileNameArray[1]
$spItem.Update()
$fileStream.Close();
Again, I can run this on my local machine and it works just fine, but when I attempt to run it on the Azure environment I get this error...
Get-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\powershellscripts\12653_B7045.PDF' because it does not exist.
At C:\PowerShellScripts\Upload-FilesIntoSharePointTester.ps1:32 char:42
+ $files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\powershellscripts\12653_B7045.PDF:String) [Get-Item], ItemNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemCommand
What strikes me first is the fact that the file its looking for is in the "C:\Upload\Test Upload\My Documents\" directory, but the error keeps saying "C:\powershellscripts\" which is where my script resides and not the files I want to
upload into SharePoint. When I step through the code, all the variables are holding the correct values. The $localFolderPath shows the name of files that I am attempting to upload, so it recognizes them. But once I step through this particular line of code,
the error occurs...
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()
Is this an error caused because I am remoting into the Azure environment? Has anyone dealt with this issue before? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks
Update: quick thing I noticed is that these two lines of code are returning null values. Again, is this handled differently in Azure or remotely? I ask cause this is the way I know how to do this, locally.
$docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()

"...square brackets are wildcard characters in Windows PowerShell..."
When you use cd without a parameter it uses the -Path parameter. In this case you'll have to escape the square brackets so they are not considered wildcards. Each of the commands in the first example does the exact same thing.
cd 'Learn PowerShell `[Do Whatever`]'
cd -Path 'Learn PowerShell `[Do Whatever`]'
cd (or Set-Location) also has a literal path parameter (-LiteralPath) that does not require using an escape character (`) before each of the brackets. Hope this helps.
cd -LiteralPath 'Learn PowerShell [Do Whatever]'

Error message in Logic "audio configuration contains unknown items"

I am using Logic Studio with an apogee Duet and Mac Book Pro.
So far I love the apogee duet for it's simplicity and sound. I have
however started to receive this error message working with Logic Studio,
almost anytime I start a new track, add a plug-in or instrument, etc.
"Audio Configuration contains unknown items"
It did not do this from the very beginning but started after a few
sessions. I have tried re-installing the driver disc for the Duet but it still happens.
when it does pop-up i can click the ok box and after clicking several times
it will go away and let me proceed.
Could anyone please advise me.
thank you very much.

Maybe this happen bacause you put many additional info in your "Aple discussion" profile about the software that you use, but we can also say you the same as Logic message:
your detailed "Audio configuration" profile info contain a "unknow item"
Whitch is your audio interface?
G
PS: anyway, try to trash Logic preferences.

Raise the PR through project with unknown item category "U"

HI,
In my business process, i have raised the PR's through the projects. at the time of material assignment we need to give the item category N or L .But at the time of material assignment to the activity,whether third party sale or local sale is not decide .it's only decide at the time of PO creation .is there any options or configuration process to assign the unknown item category at the material assignment the PROJECT?
Regards
Bhavani

Item category available is either N or L. I don't think there is any U available.
If you are referring account assignment in PR. for project it should Q, P or N. U is not for project.
What is the purpose of assigning / planning materials in your project during the initial stage?, is it for cost planning? if it is only for cost planning then follow what Virendra has recommended.
Please also read sap help on Material in Projects.

Audio Configuration Contains Unknown items

Has this issue been resolved ?? I have been using Logic Pro 9 for 3 years and yesterday I encounter this issue. Been searching all over the internet and seems like there are lots of questions out there but I did not see any resolution ?? Thought I will post it here. I even ran Logic Pro in 32 bit mode. I usually run in 62bit, but nothing has changed. Please help !!!

Hey,
We have related problem...we have a project we started in Garageband '08 that developed "audio configuration is damaged" alert that leads to an ""audio configuration contains unknown items" alert after hitting ok. We have a Mackie Universal Control hooked up to our setup. We tried to load the project into Logic Studio, but the same messages pop up. In Garageband you can click past it repeatedly and get back to your project, BUT in Logic you can never get past the messages, and you have to force quit. Not sure if the Mackie control board caused this problem...don't have a solution yet and have not figured out how to extract the pieces of the Garageband project into a new project.
HELP!
Thanks,
Chaz

Shared Items in Finder??

Hi
Ive noticed seven shared iMac items in Finder, Ive no idea what they r or how to remove them. See attached file. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Baz

You do reboot or somehow restart when you are on your different network, right?
I suggest going to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar), choose the "General" tab, and check "Close windows when quitting an application."

Viewing items in Finder full screen

I seem to remember reading somewhere that when viewing finder items in cover flow (at least I think it was in cover flow), you could make the item appear full screen size, or at least very large.
Is this right? If so how?
Thanks!
DanK

I believe you mean the slide show. select some items in Finder (in any view not just coverflow) and enter commandoptiony. this will get you to the slideshow view. you can also use Quicklook by hitting the space bar.

Items in Finder window will not show alphabetically while in columns view

I am running a Mac Pro Yosemite 10.10.1
a couple of weeks ago I had some kind of glitch since then it takes a long time to save items having a continuous spinning beach ball.
Also in the Finder window items will no longer listed alphabetically while in columns view they list fine in the other views.
Is there an easy way to fix or could I fix it by reinstalling the operating system?

Hi tundrabob,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like Finder takes a while to save and you need to sort a window. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
This article may help the spinning beach ball.

HT2470 Is there a way to arrange the items in Finder by multiple options?

I would really like them arranged by kind then name to help me find everything better.

Hello mooncinders,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
In Finder, you can change the View Options by clicking the Action Menu > Show View Options. Depending on the view you are in, there will be various options in this menu. For example, you can choose Arrange By: Kind, then Sort By: Name. For more information, see this article:

Unknown item declared as root of mxml doc

I've just installed Flex Builder 2 and am trying to go
through the "getting started" examples but every time I try to go
to design mode, I get the "An unknown item is declared as the root
of your MXML document. Switch to source mode to correct it."
message. This happens when I create a new Flex project or when I
open one of the existing samples that I imported (Restaurant).
What am I doing wrong?

I've the same problem.... sob sob...

"Unknowns" in the Finder SHARED folder

With the install of Leopard the Finder Sidebar displays SHARED items or sources.
I am not part of a Network and have never used SHARE features so I am ignorant about the abilities and terminology - sorry.
My issue is that unknown identities are appearing under under the SHARED heading of the sidebar. Does this mean I am 'connected' to someone or something?
Currently there are 2 computer icons, one named 'dimension', another named 'your-727a0a....'
Can anyone shed light on what this all means?

As a test, try turning off all wireless network services on your Mac. One way to do this is to create a new "Location" in Network preferences & remove every service in the left pane except Built-in Ethernet by using the "-" (minus symbol) button below the list.
Make this Location the active one & see if the "Shared" items disappear. If so, they are being detected by your Mac's wireless network capabilities. This doesn't mean they are connected, only that the Mac is aware of them.
Alternately, command click on the icon of the item in the Shared section of the sidebar (not on its name) & from the popup menu select "Get Info." What does it say?
