What is tempinstallmc.dmg?  Should I delete it?

The program "tempinstallmc.dmg" keeps popping up on my desktop of load a program.  Even after moving it to trash, it appears on the desktop later.
Can it be deleted without harming the operating system?

You inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it.
tmpinstallmc.dmg, if you were to open it, will subsequently attempt to install the Genieo adware. Don't do that.
For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended solution read How to install adware.

  • Should i delete my photos from iPhoto after I import to aperture

    should i delete my photos from iPhoto after I import to aperture? What is the easiest way to do this?

    Depends.
    Did you copy the files into the Aperture Library on Import?
    If so, it's safe to do so. My tip: wait a few weeks until you're happy that you're committed to Aperture.
    Drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the trash.

  • What is a dmg file?

    What is a *.dmg file?  I am showing one in my Finder called ABEIDSNCS4_LS1.dmg and it's an image file.  My concern is that the size is 1.16 GB. What could this be and can I delete it?
    Thank you.

    .dmg files are Disk Images. Basically they act like a separate volume on a hard drive. Often when you download an application from the Internet it comes on a disk image file. Once you have run the installer, you can delete them by dragging them to the Trash and emptying the Trash. Another way would be to hold down the control key on your keyboard when you click on the .dmg file and select Move to Trash from the menu that appears. Again you'll want to empty it.
    Best of luck.

  • My music is completely messed up: many songs shortened to 3:01, many songs in different versions. Should I delete all and reimport all my purchases? Or is there a more elgant way of cleaning the media center?

    My music is completely messed up: many songs shortened to 3:01, many songs in different versions. Should I delete all and reimport all my purchases? Or is there a more elgant way of cleaning the media center?

    I think you should just rebuild your library.
    Clear it out, then drag all the song files back in. You'll lose your ratings and playcounts, etc but I don't see what else you can do.

  • What is the easiest way to delete a song or album?  Also, how do I get rid of the tunes it cannot convert or find?

    What is the easiest way to delete a song or album directly off the iPod?  Also, how do I get rid of the tunes it cannot convert so it does'nt run through them every time I upload an album or song?

    Right click the song you want to get rid of and there should be a delete button.

  • Duplicates in iTunes:  Should I delete the Purchased AAC Audio file?

    I show two different file types and sometimes 3.  Sometimes it will say MP3, which I assume is one that came from a CD or something.  If I need to delete duplicates, should I delete the "Purchased AAC Audio file"  or delete the "AAC Audio File".  What's the difference?

    "Purchased AAC Audio" refers to files that came from the iTunes Store.  "AAC Audio" refers to files in AAC format that came from some other source, such as ripping a CD, or doing a conversion with iTunes.
    If you only want to keep one file, it does not really matter which one you delete.

    It is designed to store tabular data, and supports insertion, deletion, and is not difficult to modify for sorting.

  • What is the BAPI for setting "deletion flag" in IW32?

    What is the BAPI for setting "deletion flag" in IW32? Thanks!

    Hello
    There seems to be no BAPI to set deletion flag for MO.
    Quick Approach:
    You can copy an existing BAPI module BAPI_ISUSMORDER_SETSTATUSTECHN, for example, to Y_BAPI_MORDER_SETSTATUSDEL, and then edit this copy
    change the code in the existing lines for screen 3000
    PERFORM BDC_DYNPRO USING 'SAPLCOIH'      '3000'.
    PERFORM BDC_FIELD  USING 'BDC_OKCODE'    'LVMS'. (Instead of current 'ARCH')
    It should hopefully work.
    fyi: The orders can be set with Del flag only when they are in CLSD status

  • What type of restore should I use?

    My computer is properly backed up using Time Machine. I created a partition using Bootcamp so I could install Windows (I haven't actually installed Windows yet). However, after testing Parallels, which is an amazing program!, I want to get rid of the partition and use Parallels instead.
    My understanding is that I have to wipe my hard drive to erase the partition. Assuming this is true, what version of restore should I use? I want the computer to be exactly as it is in the backup, except for the partition.

    When I go into the Partition tab, the diagram and text shows my HD as having 148.73 gigs of space (it appears in blue on top in the diagram) and "available space" being 49.5 gigs (it appears in white on the bottom).
    Once you deleted the Boot Camp partition, you now have only a single partition. The light-blue shading represents the data in the partition; the white are represents the rest ("available space").
    Is this how it should be? I clicked on both the blue area and the white area but that doesn't select them. There is no line between them for me to drag. Also, the "-" and "Options" buttons are grayed out.
    If there's only one partition on the disk, the whole diagram, containing both the blue shading and white area, covering the entire disk, should be outlined in medium blue. The "-" sign is grayed-out because there's only the one partition. If there were 2 or more, you could use it to delete one.
    If you wanted to make a second partition, you would click the plus sign. DU would then change the diagram, splitting the existing partition. Then you'd see a line between the two, which you could drag up or down, etc. The Options button is used when setting-up a new or erased drive "from scratch," to specify the *Partition Map Scheme* for the entire drive.
    Browse Disk Utility's help for a general idea of what it can do. (It's one of the few apps that has fairly comprehensive explanations and instructions.)
    I should mention that I installed Parallels so I could run Windows and Mac OS simultaneously (it is quite amazing!). Could it be that Parallels creates an unlabeled partition?
    I don't do Windoze, but it's my understanding that Parallels makes one huge OSX file that contains the entire Windows system, rather than the way Boot Camp uses a separate partition. I also understand that this huge file is automatically excluded from Time Machine, so it doesn't back the whole thing up every time anything is changed. You can check this via TM Preferences > Options.

  • What do i do when iPhoto Deletes my recent pic's all the way to 2010????? i opened the program and it said i needed to update my library otherwise i wouldn't be able to view the images that were not updated-- and now they are gone!!!!!! WHat do i do!!!!!!

WHat do i do!!!!!!  Is this some type a virus???? my mac is protected!!!!! tried to chat with an IT person but they keep asking if its like a tech problem and it is just iphoto

    You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating  on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Should I delete older licenses,(iTunes, Line 6, etc), once a new one is saved on my drive? I'm trying to make space on my Mac.

    Should I delete older licenses, (iTunes, Line 6, etc), once a new one is saved on my drive? I'm trying to make space on my Mac.

    Material you do not need does not belong on your MBP.  What you are referring to though are rather small items and would be difficult to find them all.
    I would suggest a clean install.  Backup all of your data, reinstall your OS, erase the internal HDD and then select only the data you wish to retain.  This way all of the refuse is automatically eliminated.
    Further, consider a larger internal HDD before you do this.  The less data on a HDD, the better the performance.
    Ciao.

  • In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of  3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB.  Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

    In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of  3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB.  Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

    At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further.  As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them.  Just make sure first that they are in your photo software.  If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
    At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway.  So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update.

  • What is the best way to delete MacKeeper?

    I installed MacKeeper last year in an attempt to free up some hard drive space on my former hard drive. I now have a new SSD and have no need for MacKeeper. In addition, I see that this programme attracts a lot of negative press.
    What is the best way to delete MacKeeper from my hard drive and Time machine?

    Remove the "MacKeeper" crapware as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Then a dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
    Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” "tune-ups," “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • Should I delete certificates on my computer from TURKTRUST? I've seen several notices from Microsoft saying to untrust these?

    There are many certificates on my computer, several in foreign languages, many also from financial companies I do not do business with. Are there security risk with any of these and should I delete these? I only looked at these because recently, while viewing emails, something is locking up. My ISP is FIOs and every website I use, shows the speed at better than 50/25.
    Is there a complete list of certificates authorized by Mozilla?

    Leave certificates alone unless you know what you are doing, even foreign language certificates.
    There was a problem with TurkTrust CAs in January 2013, but Mozilla has already taken care of that. Subsequent review and verification led Mozilla to restore one valid certificate from TurkTrust.
