What is AIVMFile and why are they creating themselves?

There was a couple in the root folder of my hard drive, now there are hundreds. Can I delete? Is it some attempt at spy ware? Thanks!

I just ended up with 2117 AIVMFileXXX files at the root level of my startup drive, after Adobe Illustrator sucked up all my remaining hard disk space while working on several AI docs in Illustrator CS6. I had to force-quit Illustrator and restart my MacBook Pro because I was down to 200 MB of free space on my drive! I presume AIVMFile means Adobe Illustrator Virtual Memory File. Note that all the AIVMFileXXX were zero K in size. I simply deleted them.

Thumb32Segment.data, what is it, and why are they in my iphoto?`

How are these thumbs getting into my iphoto library in finder?
They look like documents, and it doesn't appear to be from my camera...what are thumbs anyways? Thank everyone.

No, you can't preview them. They are not User documents. The are used by the Application itself. The actual thumbnails themselves are in the Data folder. These files are part of the back ground database that runs iPhoto.
Just to caution you: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss

Why have the Firefox Themes that i was using now stopped working and why are they unavailable to me?

After upgrading again just days after a previous Mozilla Firefox update, my themes are now completely unavailable to me and do not appear at the top of the Firefox page even if i try changing from one to another and instead i have (Private Browsing) being displayed instead like i'm supposed to know or care what that means?
Isn't all non - public browsing, "private browsing"?
Is that to be my new theme?
How hard is it for Mozilla to just leave the well - enough alone with the page and why provide upgrades every five days, your customers HATE it!

hello, it is a known issue that light-weight themes are currently not shown when firefox is set to never remember history (a.k.a. always run in private browsing mode) in firefox/tools > options > privacy. this will be corrected in the upcoming firefox release.

What does the buttons do and why are they there?

This is a stupid question, but what does the two buttons under the volume controle of the 865 PRO do?
It’s called “Stop” and “Go To Previous Page”. Is it relatet to IE browser, -and if so… does anyone use it?

Generally it is not a good idea to be poking around in the System Folder, trying to second guess files and plist. There are literally 1000's of files in your System Folder you will have no idea why they are there.
If you want to do house keeping stick to your username folder. Therefore any damage done is limited to your user account.

What are .frameworks, and why are they freezing my computer?? Help!

It seems as though every time I open an audio program (Garage Band mainly), a folder entitled CoreMIDIserver.framework pops up on my dock, bounces for a bit, and then proceeds to freeze my computer. I have to force quit it every time. Frameworks are located in System-Library-Frameworks. I looked them up online and it wasn't very helpful.
What can I do to fix this? Why does it keep popping up? Can I delete it, or would that potentially cause more problems?
I really really REALLY need to use pro audio and the fact that it's not working is killing me. Any help is much appreciated!

I had a couple of problems with other frameworks.
I used Pacifist to "Update Prebinding" for entire system.
It cleared up my framework console errors among other things.

What are these ports 989, 1021, 1033 and why are they always ON?

I have noticed unknown network traffic on Activity Monitor, even I close all application, AM still shows there's about 1~2 KB (Data received).
So, I open a Terminal and check by 'netstat' command. I notice there's some unknown tcp connections established. Is there anyone know what are these ports, and is it normal to have them ON all the time ?
$ netstat -n | grep EST
(..omited)
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1033 127.0.0.1.989 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.989 127.0.0.1.1033 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1033 127.0.0.1.1021 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1021 127.0.0.1.1033 ESTABLISHED

These ports are some of those used by the NetInfo subsystem which keeps track of your computer's users, groups, and some other information about its configuration. Since the IP addresses listed for those connections are all 127.0.0.1, your computer is connecting to itself; having these open isn't a cause for concern.

In iphoto, what are themes and why are they not loaded?

I uploaded some pics to my iphoto as usual. then went to print and it stated that i needed themes to continue.
I did have the HD swapped out due to the recall for my model. The ML 10.8, was installed and all the software
rest of the back up was done via the timemachine. I really have been have trouble with little things other than
printing from iPhoto.. Any help would be appreciated.
Tim

Thank you, I will try that. It seems that since we had the HD replaced we come up on these types of things that just dont connect.
Thank you for the suggestion.

What are "dyld" and "brtool" and why are they breaking my Lion installation?

I have an up-to-date Snow Leopard Server installation with software RAID, and cannot complete the upgrade to Lion Server. At the "restart" step, the installation throws an error and says to try again.
Here's the header from the crash report:

Any suggestions (besides "wipe the drives and don't use RAID")?

Dear Friends
I'm getting this same error ("... dependent dylib #1 could not be loaded") on a 2x3GHz quad-core Mac Pro with 17GB of memory. I'm installing on top of 10.6.8 on a two-drive, two-slice Apple software RAID.
I'm downloading the Lion installer for the third time today and will try for the umpteenth time to install it. I've used another internal drive, a bootable DVD, and a USB flash drive, all to no avail.
If anyone knows a solution that doesn't involve erasing my drives, I'd appreciate your sharing it.
(Before I had a kid I would've installed Lion the day it was released. But now I'm short on time and waited more than six months after its release before trying to install it on our production Mac so I wouldn't encounter such problems. Hehe. I installed Lion on the day of its release on our MacBook Pro and didn't have any problems.)

Why does the South African App Store have so little apps. And why are they no games?

I live in South Africa and the App Store is pathetic. There are no Games at all. Why is the U.S App Store SO much better? I feel like I wasted my money on my iPad.

I don't know if they're related or what osascript is or what's calling it - I don't see it in the activity monitor. Again, everything seems to work but these errors must mean something....
Thanks for any help.

Hmmm.... After experimenting with various applications I found get the osascript error everytime I use dropbox, guess I need to talk to them. Still haven't found a reason for the QTKitServer message.

TS3938 I upgraded to OS X Lion. Now, I cannot open many of my earlier files, which were created on a Power PC Mac. What can I do? Are they lost?

Since I upgraded to Lion, I cannot access many of my earlier files, that were created on AppleWorks on PowerPC. What can I do? Are they completely lost?

Jacques Scohy wrote:
I found the solution: mark your AppleWorks files with .cwk and open them with Pages or Numbers. It works!
Yes, it becoming easier to convert files now that Lion has been out for almost a year, Pages and iWorks in general are becoming the answer for opening a lot of these old files and converting them without having to install complicated hit or miss hacks.
Although as Kappy said, do check what other PPC programs you may need to either update or convert as well. More and more people are realising that the great Lion panic was blown out of proportion, the same as any other OSX ever released and the same as a minority wil react to the upcoming Mountain Lion.
Glad it has all worked out for you so easily.

Hi,
Table pools are special table types in the ABAP Dictionary. The data from several different tables can be stored together in a table pool or table cluster. Tables assigned to a table pool or table cluster are referred to as pooled tables or cluster tables.
This table are similar to the CLUSTER table types but these work on "LINEAR SEARCH" while CLUSTER TABLE uses "BINARY SEARCH to retrieve the data from the various tables and thsi is mainly used in the logical databases "LDB's" used in HR or ABAP-HR.
A table in the database in which all records from the pooled tables assigned to the table pool are stored corresponds to a table pool.
The definition of a pool consists essentially of two key fields (Tabname and Varkey) and a long argument field (Vardata).
Table Clusters Several logical data records from different cluster tables can be stored together in one physical
record in a table cluster.
A cluster key consists of a series of freely definable key fields and a field (Pageno) for distinguishing continuation records. A cluster also contains a long field (Vardata) that contains the contents of the data fields of the cluster tables for this key. If the data does not fit into the long field, continuation records are created. Control information on the structure of the data string is still written at the beginning of the Vardata field.

Samad.

I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
To change that select:
Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
Menu > View > Hide Layout

I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users. Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS

I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users. Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS. When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

Hello RumDog,
I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
You can then:
Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."
