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?

Mystery Login Items - apple-scc

In Sys Prefs, User and Groups, Login Items Tab, there are a few apps that I expect, e.g. iTunesHelper.
But there are two oddballs: both have names starting with apple-scc, then numerals, e.g. apple-scc- 12345678-12456. Both have a yellow triangle with exclamation mark beside them. Neither are enabled.
What are they?

Do you have FaceTime video and audio set as login items?

Don't know - it's unknown.
Try again, when the Apple servers are less busy.

What does checking "hide" do in login items?

The list of programs in my Login Items has a checkbox to the left of it that says "hide". What happens if it is checked? I checked it for one program I'd like to not see windows from (it does a "background" task), but on startup it still shows its main window and shows up in the dock. Is that not what this is for?
thanks,
Mike

Thomas is correct about what the Hide parameter does for startup items. But the specific application you are using "Simon" also has the option to automatically hide the Simon Monitor window. With this option set, Simon will display the monitor window until you do anything else. Start an app, click on the desktop, move a window, it doesn't matter, as soon as you do something outside of the Simon monitor window, the window will close.
I find this very useful, since I can see the current results of Simon when the desktop loads, and then have it go away as soon as I start doing some work.

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.

Unknown (to me) login items

In my user account login items, I have two programs listed, and I don't recognize them. Can anyone tell me what they are?
ScreenCapture
AirDisplayStatusItem
I ran a search on Google but did not see definitive answers. If these aren't needed, I see no reason to keep them loading.

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 "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.

When trying to log in to my online bank, I get error '80004005' default.asp.line48. What is this? I can login using another browser, but not on Firefox, which is my first choice. in English

I have used this online banking account for several years. Now it seems Firefox is not allowing me to see the login page. I used msn.com to try it and it worked. So it's Firefox that is the problem.

I just experienced this problem. The solution was to delete your cookies for tdbank (tools, options, show cookies)
I suspect there is something in the cookie that points to a database or some server that currently isn't active - it's 1AM now, so probably have a backup server up while they do maintenance or something like that.
Most likely the login page will have worked the next day for me.

What is this invisible files??

Hey there

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

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.

My iPhone 5 is shutting down itself with black or red lignes?! What cause this?! Should send to apple to get a new one?! Am I the only one?!

I'm on iOS 6.1 ! There are almost nothing running in background when my iPhone 5 is freezing with lignes black or red and restart alone ?! Someone can help?!

The program is for replacement since Apple does not repair iDevices...you take your non-working or damaged iPhone to an Apple store genius bar, or send to Apple service, and they provide a refurbished unit as a replacement, for a fee, of course. You will have to talk with Apple to see if you get all components or just the iPhone replaced.
With AppleCare+ you can have two out-of-warranty replacements for a cost of $49 each.

MacOSX - EOS Utility v2.14.10 - Each Time Run - Re-Installs Itself in Bootup List (Login Items)

First, I love my Canon 60D, however the EOS Utility v2 running under MacOSX 10.9.3 has a frustrating quirk not present in EOS Utility v1.x.
Each time I manually run the EOS Utility the darn thing insists on installing itself on the Mac's list of user software to run when the system boots up. On a Mac this is called a "Login Item". You can, and I have, deleted the EOS Utility "Login Item" entry in System Preferences --> Users & Groups --> Login Items (tab) List of Login items. When I reboot it is not running in the background, which is what I want ... for lots of reasons having to do with overall OSX system stability.
However, when I connect my camera and manually run EOS Utility v2 everything works fined EXCEPT once again it insists that the utility should be run in the background anytime I bootup my Mac and re-enables itself on the Login Items list. This is not the utilities perogative. All other apps I've used understand this. They might install themselves on the Login Items list when you first install the app, but if you delete the entry on that list the app will respect your choice and will not force itself back on the list just to run the app.
QUESTION - How does the user disable this re-install on OSX's Login Item list behavior. If this can't be disabled I will downgrade to EOS v1.x or use a 3rd party app until enough users complain to Canon. I could understand if Canon wants to default to running in the background when the user first installs the software, but if the user specifically removes the entry on the Login Items list, the app should respect this user decision.
Thank you.

Have tried uninstalling Canon EOS 2 utility, re-installing from scratch after a power down and cold reboot of the Mac (OSX v10.9.3), however I experience the same problem from EOS as before. No other utility on my Mac or any I have heard about has displayed EOS's rude behavior; re-asserting itself as a background task at bootup when the user has specifically tried to disable this action.
Another person who posted a comment on this thread mentioned that on a PC, EOS-3 demonstrated a somewhat related characteristic; it installed itself to run in the background everytime the PC was booted, however there was an EOS preferences field that disabled this function. So it seems odd to me that Canon thinks auto-enabling itself as a bootup background task on the computer is unusual behavior for EOS. You just forgot to include a field in MacOSX EOS preferences to disable it. Nothing is perfect, but please update the utility now that it has come to Canon's attention.
I have looked thru the Mac version of EOS-2 and have not found any similar way in EOS preferences to disable EOS from always enabling itself to run in the background when it is manually run. This is rather a bother each time EOS is used - to always have to use MacOSX System preferences to tell EOS again... and again.... and again... and again.... and AGAIN ... to leave my OS system bootup settings alone.
If there is no way to disable this unfortunate characteristic I will start posting notices on several Mac user and photography websites seeking other user's advice to disable EOS auto-startup or warn them about this problem so they can find other camera file transfer utilities as I will be doing. Very unfortunate.

Can Login Items be disabled instead of just hidden/removed?

cderalow wrote in another thread:
"system preferences
accounts
login items
uncheck as applicable "
I always thought unchecking just made the app hidden on login but still launched. Is there a way of disabling items in this window instead of deleting them?
Thanks.

Oh, I see. Hmmm, unfortunately, I can't think of an easy way to do that, off hand.
The "login items" in the "Accounts" pref pane are recorded in the user's "~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist" file. Conceptually, you could do what you are asking by backing up the original file, removing all login items, then editing the real file manually by copying back individual items from the backup. I suppose this might be slightly easier than having to open "System Preferences", then navigating to each individual item to be added back after each log in test -- but not by much.
For example, suppose you open "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and run this command:<pre>plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist -o ~/Desktop/loginwindowBackup.plist</pre>A plain text XML version of the file should be created on your "Desktop" (the command assumes that a file named "loginwindowBackup.plist" did not already exist there - if it did, it would have been overwritten so be careful). It should be possible to open that file in a text editor, such as eg. "TextEdit.app".
The "login items" are specified in the 'AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary', which is bounded by the '<array></array>' tags. Within this array, each individual "login item" is specified within a "dictionary" entry (bounded by '<dict></dict>' tags), containing keys such as 'AliasData', 'Path', etc. Anyway, that whole dictionary entry (including the opening and closing 'dict' tags represents the "login item".
So it should be possible to copy and paste one or more entries from the backup into a second copy of the "loginwindow.plist" file. After editing, that file (renamed "loginwindow.plist") could be copied back into "~/Library/Preferences", prior to logging out and back in to test the login item.
It's probably easier than I have made it sound - easier on a technical level, at least, but still tedious to execute in practice...
