What are the recovery files in the trash

I like to keep the trach taken out and notice every now and then their has been something put in it that I did not move there. It is a file called Recovery and has some sub folders in the main one and one of the documents seems to be witten in code. Is this normal? I delete the file when it appears and go about my business but it will eventuly show up again. Do I need to change something?

I can't say for sure. It's conceivable that an application might crash with unsaved work in a document, and you might be able to salvage that document, at least in part, from the recovered temporary file. That's why it's there. I've never known that to happen, but I don't use Office.

What are compatible media files for the Tungsten E2

I have a video clip that I'd like to put on my Tungsten E2. The current file is saved as a .wmv. When I attempt to sync using the Palm desktop software's media feature, I get the message that the file format is not compatible. I can't find any information as to what are compatible file formats. Any advice for me?

Avi's and mpg's are pretty safe. Wmv's and .mov's won't sync.

Pages leaves Recovery Files in the trash every time I use it. Fix?

I have Pages '08 version 3.0.2. Every time I use it, it will leave a recovery file in the trash the next time I restart. Pages is not crashing when this happens. It happens with normal use of Pages.
What can I do to fix this? It's a paint constantly empty the trash can every time I restart.

It is a Pages problem. Let me explain why.
The article you linked to said:
+Usually temporary files *are deleted by an application* when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not get deleted by the application.+
There's the problem. Pages is not deleting the temporary file even when I save my document successfully and close the app. This is not related to a crash. Pages should be deleting those files, but is not. So every time I restart, there's yet another Recovery File folder in the trash.
None of the other apps have this problem, including none of the other iWork apps. Pages and only pages does this (without a crash).
What I want to know is why it's not deleting the temporary files when it's supposed to. Is my copy of Pages bad or is there a problem with the .plist file? I dread opening any Pages file because I know it'll leave junk in my trash again.

What are the data files in the Proxies folder?

In the iMovie Projects folder tree there are folders called Proxies. In that folder there is a folder called the name of the projects events folder, twice, with %20 for spaces and such. In that folder there are a large number of data files like 2010.data and such. What are these data files? In one case there are 861 of them and they take up 5.1 MB. Thanks.

An iMovie project is a bundle?
Yes. What appears in the Finder as a singel file is really a bundle of files.
But what are they?
I can't tell you exactly - but I'm sure there's data there that allows iMovie to undo things you've already done, references the event clips used in the movie, thumbnails, backups, transitions you've used - that kind of thing.
I deleted them on a junk project and so no ill effect, though I didn't check all the things you can do with a project.
Even so, I'd restrict that kind of experimentation to junk projects.
Regardless of whether it's safe to delete them, I'd like to know what they are.
Fair question. I wish I could tell you more.

There are no llb files in the hp8165a zip file . What can I do?

Missing files in the zip file. Cannot run the downloaded file for the HP 8165 A programmable Signal Source
Attachments:
hp8165.zip ‏15 KB

Hello,
The reason there are no llb's included is because this instrument driver is written for LabWindows CVI and not LabVIEW. However, if you like, you can use a wizard in LabVIEW to create a LabVIEW llb that could then be used in LabVIEW. The wizard can be found in LabVIEW at "Tools » Instrumentation » Import CVI Instrument Driver...".
Hope this helps!

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
2. when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

1 - no -- iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...

PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

I saw your post today.
Moving the hosts file to the desktop will make it part of a roaming profile? That's means that activation will occur from any computer that are part and available of my microsoft local network. How can I make sure that the program I access is the one located on my local C drive and not in a roaming profile in maybe a cloud environment or from an unknown equipment with access to my network without authorization. I have only 1 laptop where I install locally the CS3 suit
My host file has not entries on it and even when trying to copy to the desktop the activation can not be completed, same problem. Days ago I used the trial option instead of the activation, after trying to activate the whole product as you mentioned in your reply, the trial period remaining got back to the original 30 days.
I have recently noticed that I have a roaming profile with a workspace file different to the one I have on my local disk (3 files basic, panel and type). On the roaming profile I see a directory for adobe illustrator CS3 settings \ workspaces \ AIWSPrefs file which has different entries than the one I have at the local drive. Normally I do not customize a lot the workspace or safe the setting used, I load the brushes, swatches, etc manually from the location they are on my local drive so the swatches and brushes directories on the roaming profile are empty instead. Adobe Eureka and Kuler palettes exists on the basic local file not in the roaming one.
The directories on my roaming profile are:
Acrobat
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
Adobe PDF
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Color
Dreamweaver 9
Flash Player
Fonts
Headlights
Linguistics
Logs
LogTransport2
Save For Web AI
Updater5
Workflow
XMP
Inside illustrator roaming directory, the following files :
AI Color Settings
AIAppResources
AIMenuFaceCache
AIPrefs
Brushes
Composite Fonts
Graphic Styles
IllustratorFnt.lst
Kinsoku
MojiKumi
New Document Profiles
Plug-in Cache.ARTX
Plug-ins
Print Presets
Save for Web Settings
Swatches
Symbols
Transparency Flattener Presets
Workspaces
In the above scenario, which workspace and other functions files will take precedence? How can I avoid the roaming profile?
Not being able to copy files from the roaming profile to my local disk, I wondering how this roaming profile was created and why the files are in there. Those files have a date from last month, the local files were more recently installed.
Your comments will be appreciated at your earliest.
Thanks in advance

What are CREATOR and REGISTRAR in the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view?

Environment: Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
I'm not sure exactly where this question belongs since it deals with database processes, RMAN and Data Guard all in one so I'll start here and see where it takes me.
I have a Data Guard environment set up with 1 primary and 1 standby. I am running some queries against the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to understand the view so I can better monitor the archive log activity between the databases.
I have read the documentation but am still confused over a couple of things:
1- What is the FGRD process and how can it write archive logs as seen in the CREATOR column of the view looking from the primary side? I thought only the ARCn process could do that.
2- On the standby side all the logs have LGWR as the CREATOR which makes sense since, as I understand it, the LGWR process on the primary is sending the log files to the standby via SQL*Net. I realize this is not a question. :-)
3- The documentation for the view shows RMAN as a possible value for the CREATOR column. How and where does RMAN create an archive log file?
4- Finally, for now, what is the meaning of the REGISTRAR column? What exactly is it registering since we already know the source (CREATOR), status and whether the log has been archived, applied and deleted.
Thanks very much for any light you can shed in my darkness.

Thats why acting as forground process.

This might be because archivelog file can be generated from other resource i.e either from RFS or by registering with RMAN command REGISTER.

Can Aperture trash the image files (in the finder) that I don't want?

Hi All,
Long time iView Media Pro user here and fairly new to Aperture.
One of the things that I like about iView (and I can't seem to figure out in Aperture) is that I can trash an original file that I do not want to keep from within the app.
iView actually moves the image file to the trash. This allows you to import all of the images, review them, and trash the ones you don't want to keep.
It appears that Aperture only trashes the Master (and versions) that it creates in the library and does not physically trash the original files.
Is there something I am missing here?

I think the thing that you are missing is that after import, you should delete your master files in Finder and just leave the ones in the Aperture library. Then when you remove them they are really gone. You can always use the "Export Master" command to get thme out again (untouched) or simply go into the Aperture library and do a find for all images to see them and move them elsewhere (if for some reason you cannot run Aperture).
One possible flow to make this esier is to always have Aperture import files from CF/SD cards, then format them after import (well, after import and then backup...)

Can I copy the Recovery files to another D partition?

Hi,
My disk came with C and D partitions, but I want to arrange my disk partitions differently from factory.
I want to shrink system (C) partition a bit, create a 15Gb partition, copy the recovery files to there (to keep the recovery files isolated), and rename that partition as the new D drive.
The only thing that matters for the recovery tool to work is to place the files on a D partition?
Has anyone done similar a thing?
Will it work?

Hey,
To be honest I dont think that HDD recovery will work if you copy the files on another partition.
Why you want to do this?
I use the factory default form C: and D: partition. On C: I have installed all my programs and on drive D: I have saved my private files like Picture, Music, Videos, Documents, etc.
I dont see a reason to create a separate partition for HDD recovery files because they are saved in a additional folder.

My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.
