Void(0);.inetloc file appearing from nowhere

The file void(0);.inetloc just appeared on my desktop, and I have no idea what it is. I tried searching finder and nothing came up, even though the file is clearly there on my desktop. I can open it using the app "textwrangler", but nothing else on my computer( I havent tried terminal because Im not familliar with how to use it properly). When i opened it, I found this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>URL</key>
          <string>javascript:void(0);</string>
</dict>
</plist>
I entered the url into the safari search bar, and this came up:
<!ENTITY % plistObject "(array | data | date | dict | real | integer | string | true | false )" >
<!ELEMENT plist %plistObject;>
<!ATTLIST plist version CDATA "1.0" >
<!-- Collections -->
<!ELEMENT array (%plistObject;)*>
<!ELEMENT dict (key, %plistObject;)*>
<!ELEMENT key (#PCDATA)>
<!--- Primitive types -->
<!ELEMENT string (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT data (#PCDATA)> <!-- Contents interpreted as Base-64 encoded -->
<!ELEMENT date (#PCDATA)> <!-- Contents should conform to a subset of ISO 8601 (in particular, YYYY '-' MM '-' DD 'T' HH ':' MM ':' SS 'Z'.  Smaller units may be omitted with a loss of precision) -->
<!-- Numerical primitives -->
<!ELEMENT true EMPTY>  <!-- Boolean constant true -->
<!ELEMENT false EMPTY> <!-- Boolean constant false -->
<!ELEMENT real (#PCDATA)> <!-- Contents should represent a floating point number matching ("+" | "-")? d+ ("."d*)? ("E" ("+" | "-") d+)? where d is a digit 0-9.  -->
<!ELEMENT integer (#PCDATA)> <!-- Contents should represent a (possibly signed) integer number in base 10 -->
Unfortunately, this code is beyond me, but I was hoping someone could make sense of it and why I suddenly found the file on my desktop. Also, is it ok to delete this file?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

A misconfigured web page caused the file to be downloaded. You can delete it.

  • Plain text files appeared from nowhere in my finder window

    I have a whole bunch of plain text files that have appeared in my finder window when searching in my user profile at the stage where I can view documents, desktop, music etc [sorry not sure what this is called and wanted to make obvious what I'm talking about].
    Can anyone help. I have no idea what these files are, but they look empty.
    Have I hit a view hidden files button somewhere that I can't find again? Can I just delete them all?
    Thanks for the help, this forum has been very useful for a number of things!

    Hi nick,
    You have navigated to your home folder. (/Drive/Users/shortname/)
    Some programs will automatically save files there. You can delete them if you want but that may destroy settings in the app that put them there. How long was it since you last viewed the visible files in your home directory? Have you installed any new programs since then? What are the names of the files and can you infer from them where they came from? You can always try moving the files to another folder (without deleting them) and then see if you are suddenly missing any settings in a new app or if they are replaced. Might help you figure out who is putting them there.
    Hope that helps.
    edit: There is no view hidden files button unless you installed a program which specifically makes them viewable, or were playing around in terminal I suppose.

  • How do I make a picture appear from nowhere?

    Hi,
    a couple of days ago, I started working on my new web site,
    where the banner and the menu should be in flash. Now there's a
    little problem: I am a real noob in Flash! And I need your help! So
    that's what I want to do: (please look picture
    http://vlada.freehostia.com/images/v1_0_0_1.jpg)
    1. I would like the logo-picture, and the two Slogans appear
    from nowhere (I know, it sounds stupid, but that's what I was told
    to do) and
    2. add a hover character to my menu (you know, like an
    animated line, which underlines the word, when you hover the mouse)
    Could anyone please tell me how to do it? What methods should
    I use? I would be very grateful for your help :)
    Regards,
    Alex

    All right, I've figured that one out...
    I'm really sorry for being annoying, but I've got one more
    noob-question: I've created a text animation for my menu, so when I
    add an invisible button, the animation stops working. When I write
    the script :
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay(button1);
    it starts replaying the whole movie but not the menu ...Can
    someone tell me what have I done wrong?

  • Genio appears from nowhere whenever I launch Safari. How do I uninstall. I can't find an uninstall application.

    Genio appears from nowhere whenever I launch Safari. How do I uninstall. I can't find an uninstall application. I have manually deleted Genio from Applications, Application Support and Preferences. How do I get it out of my computer?

    See this link for removal:  http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
    When installing apps you get from places like CNET & Softronics they wrap the installer with their adware. You have to manually uncheck NOT to install. I've seen the Genieo as "Install Genieo with a checkbox" in a very small font. See example here:
    Beware of adware included in installers
    (Fair disclosure: Needhelp4Mac is my site. I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.)
    OS X 10.9.3 added Genieo to list of incompatible software. If possible I would upgrade to Mavericks.

  • HT2500 whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    1. If by flurry of emails you mean they all appear opened as if clicked on.
    2. Or do you mean your inbox fills up with a whole lot of 'new' unread emails downloaded from the server, so that if you delete them they return next time you open Mail.
    If it is 1. Press (three keys) Option + Command + W
    This will close all mail windows including the inbox.
    Then press (two keys) Command + 1
    to return the inbox.
    That should stop any flurry next time you open Mail
    If 2., Open Mail Preferences > Accounts (select the account in question if there is more than one), click on Advanced, and where it says remove copy from server after retrieving message, select that choice and click Remove now.

  • Clips Appear From "Nowhere" After Save

    Holy bleedin' crap, I'm about to throw my system down the stairs -- this is driving me NUTS! Here's the deal:
    I have hours and hours of raw footage in iMovie. I've gone through each clip and edited-out portions I don't want. I drag my clips tot he timeline to start building the main movie, and after a while, I save.
    Then it happens: clips suddenly appear in the Clip Pane -- clips that are old, etc.
    WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!? Is it because I tried to edit clips while they were in the Pane rather than after they were in the Timeline? It's totally screwing up my movie, because I think I'm almost done with a section so I save, and then clips appear from footage that should have been included in an already timeline-added part of the movie.

    Is the project saved on an external drive? If so, and if the drive does not use the Mac OS Extended disk format, iMovie can't reliably save to the drive. So when you try to save, nothing works as it should.

  • Styles appeared from nowhere

    In the interests of reducing distraction, and possibly speeding up Pages, I had eliminated all but the five paragraph styles I was using. But then this morning a whole load of strange ones appeared e.g. 'cc list' 'Heading' 'header and footer'. It's as if Pages has pulled them in form some other template. But how & why?
    Any insights?

    I cannot identify a specific culprit or template and I am basing my answer on my experience with other word processing programs:
    Every WP program I have ever used has a 'default template'. It is the place where your customization is often stored. The programs also come with 'default styles' which cannot be deleted. They are part of the program. Some will prevent you from deleting them, some will let it look like you've deleted them, but will replace them as soon as the program restarts.
    I suspect that's what's happened here. If that is the case and they can't be deleted, that's not the way to speed up Pages since they never go away.
    Good luck,
    Terry

  • Green box with registration marks appears from nowhere

    ...and I'd like to get rid of it, but how and what is it?
    In any AICS3 document I open, my default is now an art board that is 200"x200" with a green rectangle about 60"x12" in its center. The green rectangle has registration marks on its corners. Even if I change the size of my art board to something smaller, the green rectangle remains. I've gone through all the preferences and everything in the View menu, but it is not affected by anything. It does not seem to be a template. Can anyone help me: 1. get rid of this annoying (but apparently benign) rectangle and 2. tell me what it is. It does not seem to do anything. Needless to say, it cannot be selected and is not referred to in any of the palettes. Thanks in advance for any help.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

  • Office files opened from network drive appear to be blank for Mac Users

    Hi all,
    We've got five macs in our office running 10.9 with Office 2011, and we have a file server running 10.8 which stores all of our documents.
    More often than not, when one of the macs opens a DOC or DOCX from the file server, the file opens up blank.
    There aren't invisible fonts, doing a Select All and changing to black doesn't help.
    The files appear to be fine when opened in Finder, or with LibreOffice (which my colleagues don't want to use!)
    The files open correctly when the files are moved to the local hard drive and opened from there.
    The files also open fine via the network on a Windows 8.1 PC with Office 2007.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and got a workaround? I've been looking at this for a while but not found anything as of yet.
    Appreciate any assistance you can give. :)

    It can be that you have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new camera.
    Please tell us
    Which operating system you are running on
