What is a file call ZTE_P18E_111 loggingdameon 13-17-31? Cannot delete it - says its in use. Think its slowing up my computer!

Recently purchased a new smart phone and downloaded some relevant files. Now my My iMac is continually running. I've found there is a file titled ZTE_P18E_111 loggingdameon 13-17-31 that I cannot delete. (The phone didn't work out, but now I can't remove this file - says its in use). Not sure if this file is the problem, but my iMac never did this before. Can anyone explain how to remove this file?

If it's a daemon then, yes, it will be 'in use' since it's actively running on your machine, so you can't delete it.
Typically there are two approaches to this - one is to attempt to move/delete the file while it's active and then reboot - the premise being that it won't be able to relaunch after a reboot and therefore you'll be free to delete it.
The second approach is to stop the process first - this is probably the safer/cleaner approach.
Note that orthogonal to this is whether the OS will try to restart the process at the next reboot/login - removing the file, and even stopping it temporarily, doesn't necessarily mean the OS won't try to restart it later, with a continuous launch failure. For this reason it's sometimes better (harder?) to find where it's getting started from and nix it that way.
I'd start by looking in /Library/LaunchDaemons for a file that corresponds to the ZTE process - with luck it'll be obvious, and this would be the file that's triggering the process to launch at boot time. You should be able to move this file to the trash (or anywhere outside of /Library/LaunchDaemons) and restart your machine, and the process shouldn't restart. Then, of course, you're also free to delete the ZTE file as well.

Re-installed Windows 7/iTunes 10.7. iTunes sees my iPhone 3gs. Won't sync. I have back ups to the cloud and my computer but moved my music folder. How do I resync with a backup??? What's the file called that I need?

What is the name of the file I need to resync back to what I had before I reinstalled Windows7/Itunes?
I don't want to lose all of my apps. iTunes does see the phone but either has miscalcuated and told me I'm over
the size of my allocated sizes for music/apps, but when I uncheck, it still won't sync.
Best way, I assume is to go back to the last backup. So help me out here, what are the file (s) I need and
where are they best stored? I have all my music now on my J drive, not my C drive.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Sue

I backed up to the iCloud and to my computer. Only thing I seem to be missing is a couple playlists. I just didn't want to lose my paid apps.
So what I see in my music folder and then another folder called iTunes and then files like iTunes Library, iTunes Library extras, iTunes Music Library aren't anything that is a back up, I take it, since you said the back up would be under programs? If this statement is true, now I "get" it!
And just to be clear, in iTunes, in my apps, there are all the apps I have gotten for free or paid for. But the problem there was that the Sync was grayed out and if I check it, everything goes crazy with saying I don't have enough room. I unchecked the music folder, and still had problems.
Oh, I hate this part of the iPhone stuff!

Cannot delete pdfs - says Action cannot be completed because file open in another program

Please help. I cannot delete any adobe files because get message above. I have tried repairing Adobe Acrobat but does not help.

I have no idea of your Acrobat version. For example, AA9 is currently at 9.5.4. The updates may resolve your problem (Help>Updates). However, you may find you have to not only close Acrobat, but also check the running tasks to be sure it is totally closed. Do not disable AcroTray or you will lose the ability to print to the Adobe PDF printer.

What is a file called A240EEA0?

This file and another called 38EDDEA0 showed up on my desktop today. They can't be moved or deleted and no information can be seen. Anybody know what they are and how I can get rid of them? Thanks.

I am a bit disappointed that after all this time I still don't have a good answer on what this file type is up to, why it is on my system and why it keeps coming back after I delete it.
It is a bit disturbing that it replicates with more files of the same type when left alone and not deleted every day.
I don't now or have I ever worked for the Department of Defense, (not counting more than 30 years ago when I was in the U. S. Air Force) and I have never had any software from them on my system.
All I do know about this file type is that since I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4, the file stopped coming back.
Now I still don't know which program or setting allowed this file type to keep coming back into my system. All I do know is after upgrading, I deleted this file from the storage drive that it keeps popping up on, and it stayed gone.
Is it really gone, or is it hiding somewhere else?
And what is different about OS X 10.4 and OS X 10.2.8 that would allow this to happen?

Hello feeling dumb
You will need to put your iPhone into recovery mode by following the steps highlighted below.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

What are .ds_store files and can they be removed?

Probably the easiest way is to use Onyx.
If you show invisibles you can see ds_store in each folder.
Open Terminal.app (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and copy & paste this command at the prompt...
sudo chflags nohidden
Press return.
The reverse is
sudo chflags hidden

What is the effect called example: when you jump a ski jump and you see each frame

what is the effect called example: when you jump a ski jump and you see each frame

I think what you are looking for is Time Remapping .. select the clip and then apply the rime remapping to suit .. when applied you can catch the top right or left edge and slow it down further. The faster you can record in frames per second the better. OIf the effect needs really good quality then go down to video quality and select Optical Flow

Re: Satellite L450D Cannot delete file from desktop

Hi all, I was veiwing some photos on yahoo email via firefox version 3 6 3 sent by my sister in Australia, when this file appeared on my desktop which I cannot delete.
The file is called Pez & Lisa (after my sister and brother in laws photograph) when i try to delete it I get the message "COULD NOT FIND THIS ITEM, THIS IS NO LONGER LOCATED IN C/USERS/PAUL/DESKTOP VERIFY THE ITEMS LOCATION AND TRY AGAIN"
The file when I right click on proprties reads the file is 0 bytes size.
It cannot be deleted in safe mode or moved or renamed or anything!
Any ideas??

Hi Guys, thanks for your replies, however, there is nothing in startup or task manager to delete!
I have tried downloading unlocker, but it doesnt do anything when I click on it!! Maybe it doesnt work with Windows 7.
I suppose I can leave it alone as its not doing anything! its not worth a reformat just do get rid of an icon.
Ho Hum.

Itunes match; a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, cannot delete it or replace the track/ data b) now have 9k tracks "stuck" in icloud and cannot delete them no matter what I do. eh?

Hi
I;m having so itunes match issues.
I ran itunes match. I';ve since foumd, I think:
a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, I cannot find how to delete it and reupload correct song and data. I am presently assuming that once songs are matched, the meta-data, genre, etc etc thats uploaded is now treated as 'the master' by itunes.
Question: if I want to change the genre on a track, whats the correct way to overwrite the data held in the icloud? if I delete the track i just bring down the old incorrect genres again!
b) I've deleted from the icloud all my music tracks (select all, delete, Y to delete tracks from icloud). I have turned off itunes match on my ipad, iphone, appletv mac and windows pc. I've deleted the itunes library files too from mac and pc in desperation. But hours /days later, when I turn on itunes match on mac or pc, it tells me i still have 9k tracks in icloud. All with the old, wrong meta-data ready to mess up my [now-corrected] files back on my pc!
I cannot delete them no matter what I do. The number of tracks in the cloud was 12k, now 9k so its reducing, by about 1500 tracks a day.
does it really take itunes servers that long to delete the tracks I've asked it to delete, or am i seeing garbage data?
is there a quicker way of deleting all my itunes match library, songs and data?

Thanks for the helpful replies.
My original intention was to 'upgrade' some of my tracks. In those cases, I'd iTunes matched, and the process was completed.
I later downloaded those new tracks but found during that process, the tracks I was downloading had the old metadata.
I guess the idea there is to update the local genres, 'update iTunes match' and wait. How long, I don't know but that's the current solution,yes ?
Thing is I was trying to get my local library updated and, as I thought it, back in order, but was finding my local genre updates were being overwritten. I had a lot of tracks that kept on stating they could be downloaded so I thought the new files hadn't been copied down...
I think I was trying to get match to do too many things at once.
Deleting my tracks in the cloud? Was an act of desperation to start over with all known good genres locally and to re- upload, start over. I'd read in some forum or other to do that, I guess that was wrong,
Ok so I will.. Err,
A wait and see how long it takes to delete my tracks in the cloud ie let it complete the process I'd already started.
B Correct my local tracks genres
C Wait til those changes propagate up to the iCloud ( or whatever the right term is)
Q1: How long should I wait for A and C to complete?
Q2: Is it 100% definite that local genre changes will get copied up to the cloud, when I 'update iTunes match'?
I don't see any animated cloud icon, but I will watch for it!
Thanks again
Iain
