What are hidden folders on mac for?

i have a macbook pro and i found out there are hide folders, his got me interested, so i would like to know what they are for. One of them says ".localized" and the other one says ".DS_Store". I would also like to know how to keep the invisible

They are OS X system files and should not be tampered with.
They can't be made invisible but you can setup other user accounts with limited access to files and folders >  OS X Mavericks: About users, administrators, groups, and guests

  • What are these folders (.wlstaging & .wlnotdete) for?

    Hi all,
    Could anyone tell me what are these folders:
    (a) .wlstaging
    (b) .wlnotdelete
    used for?
    I've tried to deploy a simple WebApp from JBuilder 6 to WLS6.1. My WAR ends up in the .wlstaging directory instead of the application folder, anyone know what could be the cause of it?
    Also, I noticed that when I test out my WebApp, WLS creates a tmp_myserver_myserver_mywebapp folder for me in my project folder instead of in the .wlnotdelete folder, any suggestions on how to change this?
    Thanks for the help!

    that's where iTunes stores the cover art for your media files. it's completely normal. you will want to keep those unless you have manually embedded artwork in your files.
    have a look at the Mac OS X speed FAQ instead.

    iMovie HD6 - can take Plug-ins and run under Mac OS X.7 - BUT some of the Plug-ins doesn't work under X.7

  • What are the folders 0-9 and a-f in firefox 4.0b cache ?

    '''What are the folders 0-9 and a-f in firefox 4.0b cache ? '''

    Even worst FF 4 does not store videos and .swf files in cache. When you watch a video or play a game and leave the page and want to see the video or play the game again you must wait for it to download again. It is not saved in any of the cache folders. What is going on with Mozilla and Firefox. Have they bowed down to the big boys with this new browsers.

  • What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

    I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
    It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
    (plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
    What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
    I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

    Re: What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper? 
    15-Jun-2011 15:15 (in response to sfrommilton keynes)
    o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
      - You call it rubbish
      - The world calls it physics
    You are totally wrong.  Please go back to School.
    o You can deny physics
      - but that will not change reality.
    You can go to School but that wont change reality.
    o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
      - I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
    I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
      - I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
      - But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
    Yeah because you were there.  Are you having some kind of relationship with the company?  I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
    Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations.  The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product. 
    This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber.  This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
    Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

  • What Are the Exact Basic rules for Replying a Thread...... -:)   @};-

    Hi Experts,
    After Looking into the forums many days I had a small conclusion about forums,
    SAP Forums are better place I have seen for getting a goo dhelp & Knowledge...
    Why can't we make it a BEST Place.
    This is just a small doubt which I would like to clear myself first,
    I have seen many users In the forums asking for a Basic Questions
    When cleared, But still they want to have a Spoon feeding with a Sample Code.
    When Sample Code Given they will provide the original code and requests for Modifications.
    These always looks to me as crazy.
    I have seen somelong time agin by moderators posting that In SCN there will be no SPOON FEEDING.
    I am not sure whether if still this Rule AVAILABLE or NOT.
    Ok if the task is really difficult let them ask again and again,
    And it was not replied, let them repost, I agree with them.
    And How about a User Registered in SDN very long back and asking for a silly question in below thread,
    [Sendin Email to the recipent list -Need correct FM |Getting the address from shipto partner of Bil. item not directly from C.ma]
    This is one more example, really funny, The thread poster needs the solution at any cost, he doesn't require and Suggetions,,, {He Only needs Solution}
    [Radio Buttons |Radio Buttons;
    [Turning Off Debugger |Turning Off Debugger;
    [Regarding Amount in words|Regarding Amount in words;
    There are 100's of threads like this....Everyone knows this facts.
    Check this who answered this one and who replied correct answer, who copied, finally who was rewarded...!
    [how to validate POsting period |Re: how to validate POsting period]
    Now My Real Problem is....!
    User is always intelligent, Only the weakness is in Contributor, trying to help them,..,
    And I openly say that Someone requesting for basic help is not DUMB, But the Contributor replying forgets
    the basic rules " Why Contributing ?"
    According to me It's not the Requestor to see Rules & Requlations before posting the threads,
    But its responsibilty for the Contributing person to see th Rules & Requlations before replying the threads,
    If we follow the rules and stand on a single word or rule or anything there will be Good Result.
    Major Problem is in US not anyone else.
    Example Some one saying search in the forum,,, then please no replies after that...
    But we are very pity hearted again we post the solution,,,
    But it is not at all enough(for cintribtor's)... they will copy the solution and post again by slight Modifications,
    And Some users are having 500,600,700,800 Posts with 0 points, registered long long back.
    They are completly dependent on forums,,, As they goto office and as they eat, The same they open forums and ask Queries...
    They will never realize what they are doing,, and we will never let them improve better...
    Finally Lets Discuss About this and Correct & Suggest me if I am wrong,
    Is my thoughts are going in the right way or not I am not even sure... Please Aslo Correct me if I did any mistakes.
    Thanks & regards,
    Dileep .C

    Hi Stephen,
    Very useful Information,
    First tell me a little something about my self...
    After completion of my certification(as a fresher) I was down the streets hunting the job,
    with the insufficient knowledge and being a non-experienced person, I never got one.
    And mean while when I got my "S-UserID", I used to be proud, To say frankly, I registerd in SDN & SAP all at a time, without even knowing what I can do there..,
    When I got a job afterwords I was doing the job and never seen SDN page for many months,
    when I came to know that of we have doubts we can post at SDN. then started requesting help,
    I posted only a little, I didnot got the proper response. on that day I decided,
    still there are some places where we cannot get help on time and there will be people waiting to get help,
    Why cant I put some of my efforts to help others.
    Then I searched some topic by Topic in SDN topic by Topic I used to read threads just for knowledge.
    when I feel my self comfort for contributing, I started contibuting...!
    If you haven't read it, take a look first, so you can understand where things are now.
    I dont know where things are now. But these in this thread I mentioned clearly what I seen from the day I started contributing.
    I searched with the terms of 'Rules for replying', The results are not as I expected, and this link has subject as
    "O SDN, where art thou?" So it dosent hit my in the list.
    Like everybody until a certain stage I am also rushing for points.
    But I most cases I never tried to copy paste answers. If I done some then that is just to point it myself some day,
    I have no hopes or no intrest on the points...! This was discussed with Rob & Matt, at my inital contribution where my points are 36.
    From that day till date I have changed a lot to myself.
    Everyone cannot change like me because they are not like me & And I dont even expect that...!
    I will be online almost 6-8Hrs a day, Not even getting intrest to see the forums just because of the co-contributors.
    My only point is I am just requesting to a co-contributor,
    Clearly In a example : Lets say contributor has replied to a thread, and if you know that is a correct solution,
    please dont reply any more, If you have a better solution than that, then only reply,
    Even there is one reply in the thread not a matter, if correct answer leave that query.
    If still error persists, Show up with your Idea's...
    Dont let down the contributor, by copying his reply and editing and pasting(edit only if incorrect).
    I am just looking for this one exactly to circulate between ourselfs.
    For this we a little support from moderators to circulate(may be as a rule or may be as a mail to them)
    You may say again how many mails we have to send, It dosent matter, one mail to one person one time,
    and +ve factors will show up definetly.
    A real contributor always understand what I am talking about, but some one who hunts for points will never.
    I am really sorry if I am troubling with my doubts & requests,
    If so, Pleae forgive me,,
    Thanks & regards,
    Dileep .C

  • What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4?

    What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4? I did search this forum but wasn't able to find a direct answer.
    I'm running version 3.0.4 successfully on a lowly G4 733 but I suspect this is as far as I can go.
    I'm updating to iDvd'08 and was also wondering if I can safely update to GB4 or not (from GB 3.0.7) on a G4 733 mhz Digital Audio. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. My guess is that I cannot but I'd like to confirm prior to attempting any further updates in GB.

    I try my best to play it safely; always. And you were right, everything worked on the ext. FW HD flawlessly ...... truly amazing software!
    (I did happen to check the activity Monitor w/in Utilities and it showed GB4 using about 60-67% of the CPU on a G4 733 ..... I'm assuming this is normal).

  • What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion?

    What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion. Currently running Snow Leopard. I have a late 2006 Model: iMac6,1. Specs: 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2, and the optional nVidia GeForce 7600GT c/w 256MB GDDR2. The advertisement is stating a 2007 model as the minumum, however the fastest 2006 Gen Plastic iMac should be faster then the slowest 2007 Gen Aluminum iMac7,1?

    From a previous posting from some else, I saw it was the 32bit versus 64bit video card driver being the issue. I was wondering if the optional video card I have installed also was limited to the 32bit issue. 64bit drivers exist for the 7600 GT GPU.

    have not created an organizational model but want to create one
    have a lot of organizational units and must only assign a few attributes

    As a general rule of thumb, the ATI Rage 128 Pro will not support a 20" LCD. That being said, there are reports of it doing just that (possibly the edition that went into the cube).
