What is FileSystem_Blobs.MYD

I was searching in the Finder for files over 1GB, and came across a file within the Library, Bridge CS3, Bridge Store folders called FileSystem_Blobs.MYD. It weighs in at 16.99 GB. What is this? Do I need it? Why is it so large, and what generally is an MYD file? There are other MYD files in this folder, but most come in at just a bunch of KBs in size.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry you missed the pertinent threads shown in that link.  I know for a fact there were at least two among the ones listed that described the file in question and addressed your queries; I read them before posting the link. Don't have the time to do more legwork for you.
I will tell you that, when CS3 was current, several of us repeatedly nuked that file when it got out of hand.  I certainly did anytime it threatened to get anywhere near 1 GB in size.
I can also tell you that the file was dropped by Adobe as of CS4.
Additionally, Bridge in CS3 was easily the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe—or by any other major software company on this planet.
Lastly, although some Adobe staff occasionally post here as volunteers, on their own time, these are fundamentally user-to-user forums and not a channel to address Adobe officially.  I have no connection to Adobe.

  • Slow Bridge CS3

    No matter what I do, Bridge CS3 runs slowly. Selecting multiple items take a almost 4 seconds each one I click on, with the usual result of them all opening in Camera RAW before I am ready.
    I have made countless calls to customer support, reset preferences, clear edcaches, been told I shouldn't have so many images in a folder even though this is supposedly a professional application (I currently have 64 Nikon NEF files, about 10 MB each in a folder), been told to uninstall & reinstall Bridge & CS3 (which I just did), reinstall system (ditto), among others.
    The only way to make it run a little faster is to create a new folder each time, drop the images into it, and work as quickly as I can before it slows to a crawl.
    To add insult to injury, I am now trying to create a sub keyword (a keyword under a keyword) as I have done hundreds of times. I can create on called Connecticut, but if I try to create one called Westport, Connecticut, it fails to be created. Just plain Westport works, however.
    And, if I open multiple images in the Camera Raw (4.4.1) window, make adjustment to them, then, with only one selected, click option and cancel (reset), I cannot just reset one images as I could do before. I now get a new window saying "Reset all changes, including changes to non-selected images" No/Yes. Where did this come from?
    I am out of ideas.
    I am using Bridge 2.1.1.9, on a G5 quad, running OS 10.4.11, 8.5 GB of RAM.
    Thanks,

    As stated before, delete the cache file and after restart you would have the same folder with Bridge Store (but it should contain 31 visible document files, the "FileSystem_Blobs.MYD" is the largest one and can grow up to 16 GB followed by "FileSystem_Nodes.MYD" with several MB's the rest of the folder is very small, 2 with several 100 KB and the rest with 28, 16, 12 4 and even zero KB in size)
    The mysql folder should contain 45 document files each at a small size.
    If you can't see the contents you should surely delete it to create a new one with a restart of Bridge.
    I'm not sure where the distributed cache (which in my opinion is a preferred setting!) is written to besides in the xmp file (or with DNG in the file itself) but deleting the cache as described does keep all the metadata and ACR settings unchanged.
    Also deleting of the ACR cache does not change the earlier changed settings.
    It's just a good way to a fresh start :-)

  • Bridge cache

    I noticed that I have 4.86gb in the bridgecs3 folder and I was wondering how to remove the cache. When you go into the Cache folder the sub folder is data/bridgestore/mysql.

    Thanks for responding, I have been reading up on the filesystem_blobs.MYD file because I noticed that this seems to be where the problem lies. I am afraid to do anything to disturb the functioning of Photoshop because it is working properly at this point. I also have to read more on centralized vs distributed cache. It seemed easier in Photoshop CS2 to go into the folder and delete the cache.

    --------Can anyone comment on what I'm looking at? I know it can't compile
    the code, but why? It can run another webapp I have setup, so I figure the

    I guess I'm a tad confused (not enough coffee, sorry :>). But do I have to
    log in as the other user and setup their environment variable?
    I have one login user login to monitor the machine and log files, and I run
    WLS as a service (or planning on setting it up that way tonight) to run as
    another user. So do I have to change that user's setting?
    Do I need to setup the user to "run as OS", "do stuff with tokens"? Is that
    important? Will it run with/without it? I'm just wondering cause I read it
    once or twice, but not after that.
    Thanks for your ideas/patience. :>

  • Sense of the file FILES.MYD that`s growing permanently

    Hello,
    can somebody tell me the sense of the file FILES.MYD in the directory
    "C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\7.0\organizer70"? Last week this file had a size of 50 MB!!! I got a new user profile, because there also were TMP-Files with a size of 80 MB in this directory that appeared every time after starting the PC though I cancelled them before ...
    Now the size of FILES.MYD is growing slowly vom 268 KB last wednesday to 684 KB three working days later - and in some months I'll have 40 or 50 MB again!? What is this file necessary for?
    Thanks,
    Christian

    It is interesting that Adobe personnel offer no help on this. It is not exactly safe to delete. This is some sort of comprehensive history of every pdf file you ever opened for Adobe Organizer. I opened Organizer and "Deleted" my history, but it apparently just takes away my ability to see the history.  It is still in the huge file. I open the file with a binary editor and still see all the history there.  I move the file to a holding location to preserve precious profile space and live with quirkyness when I close pdf files. I get a notification that the application closed due to memory errors. The big problem comes when I try to open pdf files online with Firefox. It just doesn't work. So I have to put the myd file back in it's place and get the online files, then move it out again.
    Very annoying.

  • What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

    What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?  For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together?  We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

  • Macbook4,1 10.6.8 and firmware update - what went wrong?

    Macbook 4,1 2008 2.4Ghz (not unibody). I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled 10.6 from the Retail DVD and all seemed to go well. The MB was working fine up to that point. I then set up the MB (network, date and time, etc.) and repaired permissions.
    I then checked Software Update and downloaded and installed the recommended updates to 10.6.8.
    Again, all seemed to go fine. System booted and I repaired Permissions again. I went to the Apple web site, a couple of other web sites, and Software Update found another update to install: Firmware. Though I don't remember what version.
    I clicked OK and it installed.
    Upon reboot, it seemed to install okay.
    But then I left the Macbook and it went into Sleep.
    I didn't come back to it again until the next day.
    When I pressed a key to wake it, I got what I now know is the screen that appears after you wake it from SAFE SLEEP. As per this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757.
    And this is where the problems started.
    After the MB woke to the Safe Sleep screen, which shows the desktop a little "out of focus", the progress bars started filling in from left to right, BUT before they completed, the screen went BLACK.
    And it has had a problem with black screen ever since. I can boot the MB from internal or external HD or from DVD, and it seems to boot fine. Boot chime, Apple logo, spinning wheel, then at the point where it pauses, blue screen, then goes to desktop, instead the screen goes black.
    It finishes booting, but seems to go into Sleep.
    I can wake it by pressing a key, but the screen either comes on and goes black again after 10 seconds, or I get the Safe Sleep wake screen, and then it goes black after 10 seconds.
    And at boot or when waking the MB, the front LED flashes 5 times. There are no error beeps.
    I've tried changing RAM, but problems remain.
    So what's all this? Any ideas?
    The display doesn't seem dead, as it works to boot and wake. The MB works fine with external monitor.
    It's weird, but I can't think of anything apart from the Firmware update. The problems started right after installing it.
    Unfortunately, this model of Macbook doesn't have a Firmware Restoration image to download and burn to CD. It is the ONLY Mac at this point that doesn't have this!
    I called Apple support and even bought the 49 Euro Pay Per Incident service, which proved to be the same as throwing 49 Euro out the window. The only "technical" support they provided was to Reset the SMC, which you can find out about FOR FREE at the Apple website. And which I'd done anyway. I'd also reinstalled the MacOS. Don't want to beef too much, but sheesh, you've already got a Macbook that might need costly repairs, and they make you pay 49 Euro BEFORE they even ask you about the problem and what you've done to try to solve it. I'm tempted to say "ripoff". I mean, if all they can offer you is the advice to reset the SMC - which Apple offers for free at their website - then that's pretty poor service for 49 Euro, to say the least.
    Apart from the wasted 49 Euro, I'm pretty peeved about the Firmware update (or so it seems) wrecking a perfectly working 2008 Macbook. I don't know how to convince Apple of this, but I'm certainly going to try.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Re. the Displays setting, the Macbook display isn't recognized and mirroring isn't an available option.
    I've scoured the net and the idea of replacing the PRAM battery may be something to try. I read a post by a guy with a Macbook logic board screwed up by a Firmware update, which he solved by replacing the PRAM battery, as when you disconnect it you reset the logic board.
    Which capacitor?
    No luck so far with talking to Apple. I will try to get hold of someone a little more tech savvy and/or in a position of authority, as it seems that the Firmware is the culprit. Obviously a million other things could go wrong with a Macbook, but given the timing here it looks like the Firmware. Firmware updates can and occasionally do screw up a computer, as most manufacturers will warn you before you apply the update: PC makers, printer makers, etc. And they probably warn you that it's all your responsibility if anything goes wrong. But re. the Apple Firmware update:
    1) it came thru Software Update
    2) there was no warning
    3) to make things worse, there's no Firmware Restoration image that I can burn to a CD to reflash the logic board: this is the only Apple computer that doesn't have a Firmware Restoration option
    I'll try to get thru to a manager and convince him/her that the firmware may have been the cause.
    Do you think an authorized Apple tech might have access to some way to do a firmware restoration? Something not avaiable to mere mortals? Because if not, the only solution looks like a new logic board.

  • Format C drive, what steps to take for retaining all data of iTunes?

    Hello
    I want to format my C drive of Laptop and shift my itunes to E drive. I'm on windows 7. C drive is having itunes and in that I have synced my 2 iphones and 1 ipad.
    Now I want to format the C drive and want to retain all the data, backup, media etc of my synced data with the itunes.
    What I've done is that I transferred my music location from C to E drive by using apple forum discussion. I changed destination to E drive in ADVANCED TAB in Edit-Preferences. Then orgainzed data. That was successful.
    Now please help me on what to do next so that i can retain my all my data of itunes safe before formatting my C drive.
    Thanks in advance

    This definitely isn't intended as a substitute for tt2's tutorial (which is comprehensive and more detailed - in case of any differences I'd follow what's stated there), but in summary you should be doing the following.  I've assumed that, as per your original post, you've changed your media location to E:\iTunes and consolidated the library.  You now have a "split library" where:
    E:\iTunes contains a folder called iTunes Media which in turn contains several subfolders such as Automatically Added to iTunes, Audiobooks, Music, ...
    C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes contains the following folders and files:
    Album Artwork (folder)
    Previous iTunes Library (folder)
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb (file)
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb (file)
    iTunes Library.itl (file)
    iTunes Library.xml (file)
    I'd suggest making sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes before proceeding - by default, this will be the version that you download and install when you rebuild your PC.
    Before you change anything else, exit iTunes.  Now copy all of the folders and files in C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes to the same folder on your external drive (E:) that contains your media folder.  You should now have this:
    or something very similar.  Now restart iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key.  You will see this dialog:
    Select "Choose Library ..." and navigate to the folder on your external drive with the content as described above.  Select the iTunes Library.itl file and click OK.  iTunes will load - check that everything you expect to see is there.
    You now have a "portable library", i.e., all your media and the files that iTunes uses to organize them.  You can use this in conjunction with any PC running Windows and iTunes (noting limitations regarding your iTunes account and authorizations).  As tt2 suggested in his response, before you go any further:
    Make a backup of your new portable library to another device.
    De-authorize your iTunes account.
    Back up everything else you need to retain from the C: drive of your PC (this is beyond the scope of this forum - there's plenty of help out there on various Microsoft sites, etc.).  Just remember that once you take the plunge and reformat the C: drive anything that you haven't backed up is gone ...
    Once you've reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows, install iTunes.  As befpre, hold down the SHIFT key when you start it up and select the iTunes Library.itl file on your external drive. You can then re-authorize iTunes and be back in business ...

  • Adobe Bridge in Photoshop - How to install Bridge and camera raw? And what is it all about?

    Hi everyone! I am actually in love with this adobe photoshop. I used PSCS2 before, but later on upgraded to CS4. But I feel tired in upgrading to CS5.
    One time, I found a tutorial in youtube about camera raw, and would really want to use it. But I was wondering how to install the camera raw. I believe camera raw is a plugin? so I downloaded the plugin here, installed it in my PS. I downloaded a file Camera Raw.8bi and paste it on my C drive - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats.
    I now am very confused, how will I open it? I do not have adobe bridge!  After I installed the camera raw, I opened my PS. I clicked the file>then browse in bridge. I had an error, it's "error 2 photoshop11 undefined". Which is what I thought, I might have done something wrong with installing it.
    My question is, do you still need adobe bridge installed in order to use camera raw?
    If yes, how does it work? How am I suppose to open camera raw?
    If no, how am I going to open camera raw without bridge?
    And also, where will I download adobe bridge? I cannot find one here for CS4, only adobe bridge for CS5. I am wondering, is it okay to install adobe bridge CS5 and use it with my PS CS4?
    I badly need help!

    WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
    The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
    WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
    Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
    With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
    If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.

  • Black window bugs and lockups and crashes and WHAT'S WRONG?

    First, I thought the problem was that my employer still uses Windows XP, with layers of custom security on top. But it happens at home, on my vanilla XP netbook.
    So then I thought the problem was XP, which is, after all, obsolete. But now it is happening on my brand-new week-old laptop running 64 bit Windows 7 professional.
    These are the problems:
    (1) When recovering from sleep mode, or when I plug in a second screen, or even just from having the screen closed briefly, Firefox fails to redraw its window contents. I just get a black, empty window until I resize it or force a refresh. NO OTHER PROGRAM I USE HAS THIS PROBLEM.
    (2) Sometime Firefox fails to redraw no matter what I do. I just had a totally black window, and when I clicked on the close box, a msgbox popped up, totally black inside, with a title like, "Are you sure you want to close?" I couldn't even see the "yes" and "No" buttons, and clicking where they usually are didn't work. I finally got it to close by hitting the enter key.
    (3) Sometimes these problems are accompanied by a little vestigial micro-window, which has no contents, no close button, and no resize control. It's this nothing window with no title, but the title bar is long enough for maybe 20 characters. The most recent time this happened to me, the nothing window had a blinking text cursor inside, but typing had no effect. The only way to get rid of the micro-window is to close every single instance of Firefox, and then wait about 20 seconds. Then it disappears on its own. Sometimes it appears on its own without the black screen problem.
    (4) All my favicons disappeared when I updated Firefox on my XP work computer, and they refuse to come back, even when I revisit the websites.
    The computers involved are:
    Dell E4200 running Win XP Pro
    Acer One netbook running Win XP Home
    Vostro 3350 running Win 7 Pro
    All 3 computers are running Norton Security Suite (The E4200 is running an Enterprise custom load, the other two are running Comcast's free version)
    And all 3 computers have been connected to a Displaylink USB video adapter (for a 3rd screen) at some point or another, meaning that the driver is loaded on all the computers, but the above problems occur without any external monitor at all connected.
    Everything else is pretty vanilla.
    I'm getting these issues every other day or so, and it is really starting to annoy me and make me worried that Firefox is unstable, with makes me worried that any unsaved work or even my hard drive data might be at risk.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

    I talked with a tech today and he said I cloud is having problems which should be resolved shortly.
    In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

  • When would I use an if, for or while statement in Small Basic and what is the difference between the three?

    I have a Y9 Computer Science Exam next week and I know that this will probably be one of the questions on it so I need to know the answer. What is the difference?

    An If statement executes once IF the statement is true:
    If 1 = 2/2 Then
    Textwindow.writeline("True")
    EndIf
    A While statement executes WHILE the statement is true:
    While 4 = 2+2
    'Will keep looping while it is true
    EndWhile
    A For statement loops a number in increment:
    For i = 1 to 10
    'Every time through, i gets bigger by one until it equals 10
    EndFor
    It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'" Romans 14:11
