  • What is this "Recovered file" in Trash?

    Every time I log-in there is a folder in the Trash called "Recovered Files" which contains a document titled "com.shirtpocket.lastVolumeList"
    What is this document?
    Is it correct that it should be there at each log-in?
    Thanks for your help.
    John

    in most cases Recovered files are nothing to worry about.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8982.html
    they are just some temporary files that an application should have deleted itself when it quit but for some reason didn't. if it happens on every restart it may indicate that the app in question (in your case Superduper) has a problem although I seriously doubt it's the case here.

  • What is this "recovered files"?

    sometimes when I reboot.. or start the computer if it was off.. when it starts back up a file is in the trash named "recovered files". what is that and why is it there? the few times i've looked at it its always empty. is there any significance to it at all?

    Hello, I am fairly new to Mac, only about a years experience, but I just got my mom a new iMac and ran into a similar problem with the iTunes library.
    My mom and little sister are using the same computer and I set them up with different logins so they could each have their own desktop/prefs etc...but they wanted to have the same iTunes library so I had to put the library into a different spot than the normal "music" section. After a few days my little sister noticed it was difficult for her to navigate to the iTunes library folder to upload music to myspace etc. So I made an alias of the folder and put it into the "music" section on the Finders sidebar. After the next startup all the music was gone from iTunes, including her playlists. I paniced for a minute, but then realized the music was still there and just had to "add to library" to get it all back, no luck with the playlists though.
    Long story short, maybe your music is still on your computer somewhere?
    I'm still not sure why that happened though, can I not make an alias of a folder to keep elsewhere on the computer without the program "forgetting" where it is? I left the original folder in place.

  • MAC OSX 10.9.5: What is this strange file format in the Open Dialog box?

    Hello all.
    I'd never really noticed this, but I saw a rather unusual file format in the Open dialog box and was wondering why it appeared as it did. It appears as follows from the file/open dialog box:
    To be completely transparent, I'd originally posted this image on my twitter feed to @illustrator. Since then I have been in communication with Scott but the advice has been to reinstall Illustrator. If this had happened on one machine, I'd be inclined to agree that this may do something, but since discovering this unusual format, i've since seen it on six macs running OS 10.9.5 and illustrator version 18.1.0 OR 18.1.1
    Can anyone else confirm that they see the same thing; or if there is a difference, what this format is meant to actually be. I suspect this is a bug but need confirmation by other users.
    Colin

    The error occurs on all machines I have tested. 5 of the machines have the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but one had no plug-ins at all. All software was installed literally "out of the box" from the creative cloud.
    UPDATE - tested 3 more machines in the office all running 18.1.1 on OSX 10.9.5 and they ALL do the same thing, all installed with the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but otherwise installed "out of the box" from creative cloud.

  • What is this Restore File?

    I just looked at the files in my PC's recycle bin, and found this file:
    iPhone2,13.1.3_7E18Restore.ipsw
    It was deleted 6/21/10
    I have not done any kind of restore on the phone, and I have not yet attempted to update my 3Gs phone with the iOS4 update. I sync the iphone/itunes a couple times a week, but nothing else.
    Can anybody tell me what this nearly 300 MB file is?

    It would be the password you originally set up with the encrypted backup.  Did you ever have a passcode on your iPod Touch?  If so, you could try that as well.
    Otherwise, if you do not know the password, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to restore to factory defaults and configure it as a new device.

  • What is this unknown file in Login Items: apple-scc-20130423-135229

    My Login Items include a file of "unknown" type named "apple-scc-20130423-135229."  When I attempt to "reveal in Finder," it cannot be located.  I also have not been able to locate the file using 3rd party invisible file locator software.  I'm running Avast! antivirus software, which hasn't turned up any suspicious files.  Is it safe to remove this file from the Login Items?  I've seen similar posts on the site, but no resolution.  Can anyone help?

  • What is this invisible files??

    Hey there
    I've just switched to MacBook a couple of months ago and every day past I find more and more trouble that cant find anyone to answer it!!
    1. What is there file ._FILENAME.EXT or ._TRASH or ._FLODERNAME ?? you won't see them in Mac OS nut when I put my thumb drive into windows they're there!! It appear even in my cell phone (which has function for MP3 player) I used to delete one on my cell phone and the song can't play!! I don't know what is these files. They are annoying and take up some spaces in my thumb drive
    2. How can I empty trash only on my thumb drive without affecting trash of my hard drive??
    Anyone with more exp. in use both Mac and Windows pls tell me, thank you

    Some files on Mac OS consist of both data forks and resource forks. Windows, and other operating systems recognize them both as different files. What you're seeing is the resource fork.

  • What is this 99meg file at nvidias ftp "soundstorm"

    I guess I will find out when its finished.
    sorry the file is at either of their ftp sites but I suggest using download1 not plain download as I am getting 16k on the download and 200 on the download1
    here you go

    they DO advertise it as such. On their webpage, they have a link to it. It is the 5.1 DD version of the mp3 included earlier.

  • Annoying "Recovered Files" folder in Trash

    At first, I saw recovered files for growl in the trash. So I deleted growl because adium insant messenger works fine without it anyway. But now, I'm getting a folder called plugtmp, which contains a file called 's', in the Recovered Files folder. I guess I'm a little obsessive compulsive but I don't like seeing this recovered files folder in my trash all the time. What do I do to stop it?

    yea, i know it's not a big deal. But like i said, i'm pretty OCD lol. This knd of thing shouldn't be happening. Programs usually delete temporary files on their own without moving them to the trash. Of course this kind of stuff only happens to people like me....

  • 'Recovered Files' in my iMac Trash folder

    I have iMac that was upgraded to Mavericks in January. But only recently I have been seeing a folder, called 'Recovered Files', suddenly showing up in the Trash folder every day, despite deleting it daily. This folder contains file called 'MerpAD Office365'. I have no idea what this file is, and am unable to open it after restoring it to my desktop. What is this file, where does it come from, what is it for, what automatic process is putting it into my Trash folder, and why? Is it some sort of "secret" file? A forum member once said last year to just ignore it because it is harmless. Well, if someone knows that it's harmless, why is there so much secrecy about it?! Any chance of an answer to this question directly from Apple, because it seems to me the user community has been frustrated long enough on the whys and wherefores behind this Recovered-Files-in-Trash issue.

    Office365 in the title would suggest it is something to do with Microsoft Office, if you have the latest version.
    Recovered Files in the Trash are files that the OS puts there at restart, if it discovers a file that hasn't been "put away" properly.
    There is no secrecy. It's just OS X doing housekeeping. If you want to ask someone, ask Microsoft why their apps aren't tidying up after themselves.

  • Recovered file folder in trash

    I have checked the forum and there are similar questions but... please help! still figuring out mac.
    Situation: yes, I tried to load someone's copy of Adobe Photoshop which didn't work so I put the application in the trash.
    Next, I bought a new Dreamweaver and installed it. All okay. (I suppose this is an Adobe question but when I open Dreamweaver, you get the welcome screen superimposed and see the actual desktop behind it. Don't know if this is normal.)
    Now, I get this recovered file in the trash. If I remove it/empty trash, it reappears after starting up the computer. I dragged it to the desktop to open it...it opens with the Dreamweaver and looks blank. It says Zero KB size.
    The file is: _xx41a7.TMP
    How do I delete this or is this essential to Dreamweaver?
    I intend to BUY the photoshop and want to be sure all is okay before installing it.
    Thank you. I know I goofed with that photoshop.
    (also, on the disk of the second hand Photoshop, I later saw a note: to safely uninstall, double-click the product installer in applications/utilities/adobe installers and select to remove components plus you need to Deactivate the Photoshop by choosing help, deactivate. I thought you could just move the app to the trash).

    Nadia1,
    I hope that your move over to the Mac has been as great as mine has. But, anyways lets get to the issues. I'm not sure about your superimposed question I've not opened Dreamweaver in a while, but if you mean its opening everything in little windows opposed to in Windows XP or Vista locking all windows into one then yes that is normal.
    As for the recovered Files in the trash it is normal and is not. Applications use Temp. Files when they are in use and when the application is done running and is exiting its supposed to delete the files on there own. Sometimes they don't and when the computer restarts Mac moves the files to the trash. Its ok for you to empty them out. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8982.html for more details. To Empty the trash either (ctrl) click the Trash select Empty Trash, go into the Trash Folder and hit empty in the top right, or click on your desktop notice that Finder is now the name of the application in the top left of the screen click finder and select empty trash.
    In my opinion it sounds as if everything is fine, so you should be ready to get photoshop.
    As for removing Program files from the mac. It is acceptable to drag the application to the Trash and remove it, It does indeed remove the program from said computer. However most applications have setting files that they make on launch in order to provide you with a much smoother experience. I've found that if there is a Uninstaller bundled with the software I would recommend using it to remove the program. And if not there are some handy little programs out there that make removing a Program and all its setting files a snap. Off the top of my head there is Appzapper, and AppDelete. I personaly use AppDelete because it was free, but AppZapper has a neat user interface.
    Also in deactivating an adobe program, I know with my CS3 bundle I bought it only comes with one license. And in order to use the application bundled with it you have to activate with Adobes servers. that way they know only one is in use. In order for someone else to use that copy of Photoshop, if you indeed did activate it, you will need to deactivate as it says in the instructions.
    Hope that this helped you with your issues.

  • What is the .aplibrary file?

    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    i have backed up my Aperture Library mostly every time I add new photos - sometimes every few dayas - but every once in awhile - while this backup file is being created, another file is spontaneously created, named for example, "Aperture Library 11-2-2011.aplibrary."
    It does not happen with each backup I do, but has happened a few times now, maybe every 3-4 backups?
    What is this additional file - .aplibrary? Do I need it and do I need to back them up as well for Aperture to work smoothly?

    Hi moonlightcaravoan,
    to my knowledge  *.aplibrary stands for  Aperture pictures library database file. As this suggests it is used to store images in single database. It is actually not just a simple file but a package containing several subfolders. You should be able to verify that by just right-klicking on the aplibrary element in the Finder and select "show package contents". This should however just serve for your information. The contents of the subfolders should not be changed and it is not supposed to access single image files within these folders.
    To my understanding the *.aplibrary file(s) - there may be several, depending on how any you create within Aperture - are essential for your backups.
    I hope my answer is helpful.

  • Recovered File ?

    After installing CS6. A folder named "Recovered File" was found in the Trash Bin. The files inside this Folder seem like they have something to do with Font, because they have name like Garamond .....

    Thank you! I think you  got it right, because the time listed on the recovered files was when the installation stopped and  asked me to log off Firefox in order to continue the process. By the way, the files in the folder are identical to the Font folder, except it says something like " Unix executable file" in the listing. Here is my question, Is it OK for me to delete this "Recovered File" folder in the Trash ?

  • "What's This Help" import problem

    Hi, I am updating my program to be compatible with Windows Vista. I had been using my old help file made in a prior version of Robohelp until now.
    Now that my users are using vista, that help won't work. So I made a .chm file for the online help, and when the user selects File/Help, the help file shows. However, I haven't a second help file that is my context sensitive help. (What's This Help).  I tried to import it and received an error.  So I created a new What's this help file associated with my RoboHelp Html online help, made one test topic, and now I can access the online help and the ? help for that one test using .chm file.  However, I do not want to have to re-enter the thousands of context sensitive help topics!  I noticed that my old file saved the "What's This help" topics in an .rtf file and the new one saves the info in a context.txt.  Is there a way to convert the old .rtf to a context.txt or an easy way to get my data in?
    Thank you!!

    Hi there
    Are you sure you aren't confusing What's This help with regular Context Sensitive Help?
    For What's This help, you typically have a Text file. What's This is presented as simple text when clicking the Question Mark, followed by the object in question. As shown below:
