I've deleted the index.dat and all those folders with weird names many times and they keep showing up.
Not sure what applicaiton or process is doing this...any clues?
Thanks.

Looks like Final Cut Pro temp files

  • HT1338 I have a lot of files called FILE0001.CHK etc. on my MacBookPro - they cannot be opened and an app search produces no solution.  Does anyone know what they are please?

    Thanks Charlie and Leroydouglas - apologies for not responding sooner - I am new to the Community and couldn't see how to respond to your queries without 'replying' to myself - hope this works.  I do not use Windows on my Mac but it is possible I ran ScanDisk on my previous Windows laptop.  Perhaps I have inadvertently brought these files to my Mac??  Can I delete the files or will I be losing something I cannot verify?  So appreciate your input - thank you.

  • I have 11G of other files on my ipod. Dont know what they are. How do I find out?

    I show music, video and other files when I sync my ipod. How do i find out what the 13G of unknown files is?

    Hello Sapper,
    Mostly they're garbage, text files would likely be the only "recoverable" ones, but...

  • Is there ANYONE in BT who knows what they are talk...

    I switched from Virgin to BT joining BT on 02/11/2013, on that day I phoned up and spoke to a representative about keeping my old number. I was told this is no problem and it will automaticaly be done. Few days went by and I had no confirmation, I have now possibly been speaking to 30 different representatives, who all told me a different story, one told me that it is categoricaly in no way possible to keep a Virgin number on BT lines, I spoke to Virgin who is still keeping the number open for BT to port but they have had no communication from BT regarding this, I have spoken to Managers, Supervisors from Scotland to Manila, then finaly the email came we are changing your number to (the number I requested to keep from Virgin) with a follow up email to say "Where all done" Brilliant I thought, I rang my old Virgin Nmber only to find it is not ringing on my BT line, so I checked on MyBT, to find that BT successfully changed my number to a number which I did not request, who knows where they sucked that number from. So back to the rigmaral toing and froing, I think I must have spent at least 60 hours of my time to try and find someone who can help me to date I have not received any calls from a manager who I can discuss this farse! 
    So on 28/11/2013 the engineers came to install, he was digusted when I explained the whole story and told me this should have been done prior to instalation. So more hours spent in trying to get someone who know what they are talking about, emails, chats and calls, but nothing. Then last night finaly someone who was prepared to take some action and get this sorted great I thought now it will be done, BUT NO!!!!! tonight I get a call saying that I can not keep the number because it is at a different exchange, keeping in mind that Brierly Hill who my BT number is with is in Stourbridge and this is where I live and have been for the past 8 years, so I can not keep a number that is in the same house, the person kept telling me that this ca not be given to me at my new address and the more I explained I have not moved house and that Brierly Hill is in Stourbridge my line is an 01384 area code and the number I want is 01384, so I asked him to renumber me to a BT number in the Stourbridge exchange so that my Virgin number can be ported but this was obviously not in his grasp, I just can not believe that Virgin has been more helpful about this and that BT believes themselves to be so big that a simple request and these are the only words "I would like to keep my Virgin Number 01384 xxxxx" How can such a simple request turn into such a horible mess, so if there is actualy anyone who knows what they are talking about could they please contact me, surely I am not the only person to switch from Virgin to BT requesting to keep their number, I just wish I could afford the £600.00 I was toldI will have to pay if I cancelled my account immediately, well I guess 18 Months is not that long, then I will be free from the most ignorant organisation I have ever had the displeasure to have dealt with and I will post this on every forum I can find to warn off people who are thinking of joining BT, Virgin Sucks but be assured BT is multitudes worse!!!!!

    So I was told last night that the "Special Cases Team" will be contacting me today, have they HECK NO!!!! does a team like that actually exist? My guess is probably not! So I will try and forget about it for tonight and then tomorrow I will try and contact someone in this mysterious department, the one that deals with such complex issues as "I am moving from Virgin Media, I would like to keep my Number" This is such a complex request that it take a "Special Cases Team", well that is if it actually exists, to deal with such a case. So I now understand that my Virgin Number exists in the Stourbridge Telephone Exchange, so my question to BT Management is why allocate me a number from the Brierly Hill Exchange, when it quite a simple check, there are several websites that will tell you what exchange your number originates from, and when I asked this simple request to keep my number. I was told that BT can not give me that number at the Stourbridge Exchange because of my address, so my question is how on earth can Virgin allocate me a number at the Stourbridge exchange for the same address where I lived for the past 8 years? Well I am getting tired of this situation, but I will not give up until this is resolved, so let us see how long BT will leave me with a perfectly useless phoneline and how many more important appointments I will miss because, even I am not sure what number I have now, afterall BT has only been notified on 02/11/2013, not bad handling of a simple request he, and to date not one customer relations member of staff could be bothered to contact me, never mind a manager, mind you do those actually exist or are they working on how to cause most headaches for new customers and ensure that they cancel their contract at the soonest possible date!

    my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
    Actually you’re not.
    The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
    The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    You can run a Library on an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    I did checked the earphone there same time and found that I can't lower or high the volume from that new purchased earphone and even asked why and one of your senior staff said it might be the problem of my ipod shuffle's setting, Since the beginning of the time of purchase till I came to Nepal 4 days ago I didn't use the ipod because I'm not able to increase the volume and I didn't took my laptop with me while my visit there ...
    But when I try to restore my shuffle here ; even that doesn't works ... Today and yesterday when I checked my friend's earphone of ipod - it was working on my shuffle and my earphone also working in his classic ...
    I want to kindly request you since I showed my shuffle at the time of buying earphone there in Altek, San Martin AV in SAnta Cruz de la Sierra in Bolivia and asked I need the earphone for my ipod shuffle 3G It's not my fault ... Could you please ask the agents of apple here in Kathmandu to replace it with the working the right compatible earphone for me ...

  • HT3702 Yikes!  My eight year old purchased some aps from iTunes and it comes to $130! How can I get these taken off?  I don't even know what they are?

    My eight year old was on my iPad and bought $130 worth of apps.  How do I get these reimbursed?  I don't even know what they are????

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    While I agree that it would be nice if it was easier to transfer media from your Apple devices they should never be used as the sole location for any of your media. They are too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. The user tip above also includes a link to a suggested library backup strategy so that you can avoid being in the same position in future.

  • Anyone know what these are called?

    Hi. I am working on a book in InDesign and would like to add these little....tabs to the sides of the pages to help readers find different sections quicker than having to leaf through the pages.
    So I have two questions. Anyone know what these blue and gold tabs on the page edges are called, and/or instructions on how to create them in InDesign? I don't think they'd be too hard to figure out, so I'm really more concerned with what they're called than anything else at this point. Any help would be appreciated, however.

    Hi,
    It is called Thumb.
    There are two ways to do it in InDesign. Manual on the document pages.
    Second using Master pages. If you will give details of the thumb (like a,
    b, c,... 1, 2, 3, .... etc.) I will make .indd for you.
