What are these "invisible" icons please?

Hi all,
Since I reinstalled system 10.4.6 (to get it back to 10.4.6 from 10.4.8) I have been having these invisible icons that show up on the alias of my disk drive which is on the lower right hand side of my dock.
When I place my mouse on my hard drive, it shows everything in there as it did before on system 10.3.9, but there are two icons that look like paper with a turned over corner. One is called mach and the other is called mach.sym.
When I actually go into my hard drive, these do not exist which is why I'm calling them invisible. I did a "search" for them also and nothing turned up. How can I get rid of those?
Many thanks in advance.

"How can I get rid of those?"
You can't. those are core components of the
operating system
Do you have them too?

The "Audio Horn" is probably the speaker mute button. Touching on it will mute/unmute the K1's speakers.
The "Padlock" is the button to turn off the screen and lock the tablet (if so configured)
I assume the "Tilting thing" is referring to the microphone button, which mutes/unmutes the internal microphone. Probably more helpful on an Android phone, but could be useful when doing some kind of Internet audio chat/video.

What are these weird blue dashes?

What are these weird blue dashes that got inserted into my Pages document since I closed it? They appear with each new paragraph start or break and I can't see how to get rid of them! ( I have OS 10.6.8 and Pages 4.1)

Probably you used tabs to indent your paragraphs instead of using First Line Indent and you have Show Invisibles turned on:

VRD/@@D -what are these ?

in TSTC - VRD and @@D are present.
But when you execute the transaction...Its not possible. The Description forVRD is that
@@D is that it calls a debugger documentationbut if you try to execute the TCD there is no visible changes !
VRD - SD Generate data F.orders on Hand
What are these ? Shed more light,please !

> .... what interests me is HOW ...HOW did you fnd this !!! this is the interesting point.
That is actually what I wanted to ask you. Were they in a menu?
My "quick check":
I used SE80 to compare the tcodes, the programs and the screens.
I checked the where-used-lists of the programs and found V.17 etc, and the note pointing to the new functionality for this.
I checked the screens and also possible new screens for @@D (the debugger has changed).
I then checked PRGN_CORR* to see whether there were any documented (but unrecognizable) replacements for these tcodes.
I came to the conclusion that the functionality is gone, or the new implemention of it (together with new functionality) is so different that it is not recognizable in a quick comparison of tcodes, programs and screens, using SE80. So, those tcodes are relics which have been replaced by other, hopefully better, functionality (knowing the "go to" feature which is protected by the most sever authority check available, it looked as if @@D was a prototype of it from earlier - but that is just a guess).
Perhaps '@@D' created ' VRD' accidentally?
Enjoy the weekend,

What are these startup items and are they harmfull

Hello
I Have a M55-S325. I have noticed some items on my startup list in system Configuration Utility
TCtrlIOhook.exe
TPSMain.exe
Ltmoh.exe
AGSMMSG.exe
Apoint.exe
TFncKy.exe
So My Question is What are these and are they harmfull
if so how do i remove them.
PLEASE HELP

Hi David,
The items you have listed are genuine items use by your operating system although they may be stopped if you wish without doing any real harm. It will largely depend on whether you want to use any of the functions in which they are involved.
For example, TCtrllOhook.exe and TPSMain.exe are associated with the Toshiba power management utility.
Ltmoh.exe and AGRSMMSG.exe relate to you installed modem.
Apoint.exe is associated with you pointing device (Touchpad or whatever).
TFncKY.exe is related to the Toshiba function keys feature.
Obviously, if you are not using your internal modem then the modem related items can be stopped without any ill effects, similarly the Toshiba Function keys.
regards,

Hi. I'm trying to set-up the wireless access times in my Airport Utility. I need to enter the "Description" and the "MAC Address" of each wireless client before I assign access times. What are these? Thanks.

Hi. I'm trying to set-up the wireless access times in my Airport Utility. I need to enter the "Description" and the "MAC Address" of each wireless client before I assign access times. What are these? Thanks.

Let's say that an iPhone is one of the wireless clients that you want to allow access to the network.
The Description of this device is anything that you want to specify for easy identification purposes. For example, the Description might be something like......
Rex's iPhone
The MAC Address, also known as a Wi-Fi Address is a unique indentifiction number that is assigned to every device. The number will always follow this form:
xx : xx : xx : xx : xx : xx, where "x" could be a number or letter.
To find the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address of an iPhone or iPad.....
On the Home screen.....
Tap Settings
Tap General
Tap About
Wi-Fi Address is the item that you want
If you have a Mac computer......you can find the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address as follows:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on Wi-Fi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
The Wi-Fi Address for the Mac is located at the bottom of the window
Other wireless devices usually have the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address on the label on the back or bottom of the device

What are these processes and how do I prevent them?

For many years, many have complained of external drives that are in standby/sleep spinning up for no apparent reason. From the user's point of view this is unnecesssary, but to make matters worse, the system usually stops everything else while waiting for the drives.
I have a Mac mini that I use as a home theater pc. The media and backups are on a 5-bay enclosure (no RAID) attached by USB. While watching a video, the unused drives will go into standby mode, which is good. But then, with no user activity, they will spin up, freezing the video and everything else, which is not good. As these are slow drives and spin up sequentially, this can take 10-20 seconds. This may happen once or twice an hour, but sometimes more frequently.
In looking into the causes, I have turned off time Machine (after putting these drives into the Privacy section for good measure). I also prevented Spotlight and fsevents logging with the following:
mdutil -i off /Volumes/<drive1> /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
cd /Volumes/<drive1 and then repeat for other drives>
 rm -rf .fseventsd .Spotlight-*
 mkdir .fseventsd
 touch .fseventsd/no_log .metadata_never_index
As far as I can tell this has worked to stop those processes from accessing the drives after they are mounted, but the problem persists. To find out what else might be causing them to wake up:
sudo fs_usage -w | grep -e Volumes/<drive1> -e /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
and here is what I found last night (actually didn't use the -w last night, thus it is cut off):
18:35:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/XBMC 0.000026 SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/Stuff 0.000006 SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/DatOptic_3 0.000005 SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/MacBackUp 0.000003 SSDragHelper
18:36:15 fsgetpath /Volumes/XBMC 0.000026 System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath /Volumes/Stuff 0.000004 System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath /Volumes/DatOptic_3 0.000003 System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath /Volumes/MacBackUp 0.000003 System Prefe
18:55:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/XBMC 0.000034 GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/Stuff 0.000004 GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/DatOptic_3 0.000003 GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/MacBackUp 0.000003 GoogleSoftwa
After looking into the Google process, I was surprised to find the tentacles that Google puts into your system, and ripped every bit of it out that I could. But I have no idea about what's going on with SSDragHelper and System Prefe (presumable System Preferences). This must be OS X itself? What are these processes doing, and is there any way to prevent them from accessing these disks in this way?

Thanks for the reply Hen3ry. Looks like you've done a lot of investigation. For me, fs_usage entries accompanying spindown are not problems - I'm happy if the drives spin down. My problem is the spinups. But still, I don't think it is necessary to time the fs_usage entries with spinups. If you grep for the drives you're concerned about, you will see any process that would potentially wake them up.
Because my understanding is limited, I also am more concerned with the process/application that is accessing the drives than with the functions or commands they are sending. And the values that are returned by those functions are way beyond what I can deal with.
It's interesting that you've found a difference between your old and new drives. Could you specify the enclosure and drives in each case?
The StorageStatus app looks interesting; thanks for the tip.
Here's a summary of what I've done so far, which I think is working. I need a few more weeks to know for sure.
How to prevent unwanted drive spin-ups
If you are actively using the computer that the enclosure is attached to, nothing on God’s green earth will stop OS X from waking them up after some user action, even ones that seem to have nothing to do with the external drives. But if you leave the computer alone while some application is running, like watching a movie or downloading a file, you have a fighting chance of coaxing OS X into leaving the uninvolved drives alone.
If the drives are shared with any other computers over a network, eject them on those computers
Otherwise, OS X (AppleFileServer) will poll them every 10 seconds. This might not be bad if you want to just keep the drives spinning and the other computer stays awake.
Third-party apps
Make sure no apps are running that might access your drives. Google runs some processes that do this (maybe I’m naïve, but I was so shocked I removed chrome and every other trace of Google from my Mac mini system). Another is iStat and any utility that monitors SMART status in the background.
Don’t let Spotlight index or search the drives
Spotlight is persistent, and it may be necessary to take a variety of steps to stop its various processes (mds, mdworker) from accessing the drives and waking them up. In other words, kill it, drive a stake through its heart, then burn the body:
In System Preferences > Spotlight, add the drives to the Privacy pane.
Add a file called .metadata_never_index to the root of each drive (note the leading period). The easiest way to do this is in Terminal
touch /Volumes/<drive1>/.metadata_never_index
Tell Spotlight AGAIN to keep away from the drive:
mdutil -i off /Volumes/<drive1> /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
Finally delete the Spotlight folder from the drive.
rm -rf /Volumes/<drive1>.Spotlight-*
Stop fseventsd from logging in the drive
This is easy, just putting a no_log file in its folder. I have found that rarely it still writes some files in there, but it doesn’t seem to do so when it causes problems, so . . .
 rm –rf /Volumes/<drive1>/.fseventsd/*
 touch /Volumes/<drive1>/.fseventsd/no_log
Finder sidebar
Some people say that if the drives show in the Sidebar of Finder windows, the Finder will be checking them. I’m not sure. But to be safe, in Finder Preferences > Sidebar, uncheck External Disks.
Just say no to Time Machine
On the home theater mac itself, regular backups shouldn’t be needed. You should be able to just turn Time Machine off. However, it is probably sufficient to simply open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options and add the drives to the list of locations to exclude from backup.
Second, local backups can be disabled with
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Look for other culprits
If the problem persists, use fs_usage, which generates a real-time log of filesystem activity. There is so much going on that you need to use grep to restrict the output to entries that involve your drives. The entries that accompany your drive spin-ups are the ones you really want.
sudo fs_usage -w | grep -e Volumes/<drive1> -e /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
Now leave the keyboard and mouse alone, as many things you might do will cause the drives to be accessed. You probably want to find what does it when you’re not actively interacting with the computer. It’s not really necessary to wait for your drives to sleep and see what wakes them. Any activity you see would probably wake the drives if they were asleep. When you see some activity and want to stop and examine, type Control-C to stop the output. On the far right of each entry is the process or application that accessed the disks.

Do you happen to have an Android? If so and depending on what version there is a great data usage analyse tool built-in. See if you can go to Settings -> Data Usage from there you can pick a current or previous billing cycle and then use the vertical sliders to select a date range and it will filter the usage data per app to show you exactly what app(s) were using data during that time frame.

What are these called?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out what this element is? Since I dont know what its actually called I have to provide a picture for my example.
What are these elements called? I have pointed to them in my image with the red arrows. Im pretty sure the horizontal ones are a "horizontal rule". But what about the vertical ones? And how does one implement them in a site? http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g29/FartyMcFly/Example.jpg
Thanks for any answers in advance and I apologize if its something stupidly simple.
Thanks

How do I set the length of the border lines.
I'm afraid there is no support for that in current CSS2 standards.
You will be able to do it with CSS3 border-images. But not for a few more years.

In the meantime, you could put your border on a neighboring division -- see example below:

What are these dots on my iPhone 5 SIM tray?

There are these odd white dots on my inside edge of the SIM tray in my iPhone 5. I don't recall seeing these dots in previous generations of iPhone 5.
I found a similar thread on MacRumors about this, but there appears to be no answer.
Here is a picture:
For my iphone, I have an extra dot (so three dots and a line), so it is not exactly the same.
What are these? Are these normal? Does your phone's SIM tray have those too? How many dots?

How do you know about this? How many "configurations" are there of these dots? This is the first time I had seen it in an iPhone (as compared to previous gens).
