What the heck am I supposed to do with all these .xmp files?

Hi all.
I have been having all these .xmp files, or pages, or whatever appearing on my desk top when I upload some of my images. I click on the info query and they are full of code and adobe is one of the things I can make out. I assume they have something to do with my elements editing, like info about images. I should keep them right? How is the best way to keep them?
Thanks,
P.

Thanks you guys.
By the way, I'm glad you mentioned this 99jon.
Yesterday I was trying to open an image file in PSE that I uploaded from my new camera's memory card via the program I'm supposed to use for transfering images to my computer, ViewNX2.
I played around with the rating capabilities and tags and such and thought all was well. But when I tried to open these images in PSE I got a error message. Something about "end of file"? I have assumed that the problem of opening the file is related to these activities because it never happened before I started using the new camera. And the pictures I did not assign little stars and such to, opened fine.
What be the dealio?
And is the scoop on this Adobe DNG? One of my files mysteriously had that extension appear and I didn't ask it to do this.

This is just to report a problem with Apple updates. I updated recently and the computer brought up my 2012 desktop with all my 2014 files and data including stickies missing! Now I hesitate to do another Apple update. What would you do?

Apple Updates: This is just to report a problem. I updated recently and on restart the computer restored up my 2012 desktop with all my 2014 files and data including stickies missing!!! Now I hesitate to do another Apple update. What would you do?

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

My refunded was supposed to arrive in 48 hours. Now they are saying wait 10 days or ask the bank. What the heck?

I received an email 2 days ago saying your refund will be here in 48 hours. So I waited patiently. Now apple support is saying wait up to 10 days. What the heck?

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, we won't know why there is a delay. Did the email give any sort of reason ?

I redeemed one card, pressed the "redeem another card" button, and I only get $10 and not the $20 I'm supposed to have. What the heck!?

I recently bought a $10 iTunes card multipack of 3, and redeemed two the next day. I typed in the first code, and then clicked the button saying "reedem another code". So I did. That's $20 right there, people. Yet, when I bought my first song, I immediately noticed that my account said $10 instead of the $20 i thought I reedemed. I typed the codes again, and they all said "code already reedemed" What the heck!? I have effectively wasted $10 through the internet! Apple, I want my $10 dollars back!

You are expecting 20MB throughput on a $150 router? Well, ok, maybe.. Can you check on your router or switch if the port is set or auto negotiated to 10 or 100? That could explain 10MB limit (although technically a 10Mb port is considered 20Mb theoretical max throughput as 100Mb port is considered 200Mb per Cisco). So maybe you ended up with 10/half somehow? MTU 1500 would also be good for that connection I think and to try to get max throughput.

None of any of the pictures on Facebook can be opened and seen on the website, I have absolutely no problem on Safari, but I would much rather use Firefox..What the heck is going on????

About a week ago, I had no problem clicking on pictures to open them to bigger size.....As of about 4 days ago - If I try to open a picture on Facebook, it shows the comments but no picture..I don't know what is going on!!! It works fine on Safari, but I would much rather use Mozilla for my own selfish reasons, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON????? ( I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING!!!!!)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I agree the phones are supposed to come with the battery and battery door missing that is policy of every wireless company. The problem is that the rep that you spoke with wasn't being as thorough as they could have been to ensure that you got complete equipment, is was a processing error from the first representative. Most of the information for exchanging a phone is auto completed by the computers as well so when the rep processes the exchange they don't have any say so as to what is actually in the shipping box so being that you didn't activate the droid 3 on your account when you called in about the missing battery and complained the computer only recognized the droid x because that probably what you had activated on your account, so that's why the second replacement was droid x equipment and not droid 3

What The Heck Is Going On Here? Do I Need a Scan And How?

Okay my friends, maybe some of you could give me a clue what the heck is going on.
For the first time EVER, I keep getting this dialog box cropping up. It says something like Motorola Phone on top of the dialog box, and Incoming File Transfer for what seems to be a JPG image...Like HUH????????
I've had my own computer for over a year now and never got such a thing before. I click the decline button each time it crops up. How do I get rid of this annoying thing..I don't dare accept and open it since I don't even know what the heck it is.
Anyone ever get this?? Anyone have a clue what this is? It's friggin annoying...want to get rid of the darn thing but wouldn't know how..like I said I've never gotten this before.
Now I know Macs aren't supposed to get viruses and some of my PC user friends have suggested that maybe I try to get a virus/spyware scan and directed me to a few freebie places...I just don't like the idea of downloading anything and particularly from a freebie place
If any of you do have any kind of freebie scans that you have used that you know are to be safe could you tell me which?
I did shut down my computer then rebooted...hoping whatever kinks I may have gotten may have resolved itself

In the right conditions, Bluetooth can work up to 30 feet, and through walls. It can't do anything unless you let it. Look in the "Bluetooth" system preference. See if anything shows in the left column. If so, you can select it and see information about in in the right column. Click on the gear at the lower left to see if there is an option to ignore that particular device, or if you aren't using Bluetooth, you can turn it off with the upper-left checkbox.

What the heck is up with my macbook pro

I just got it back from being repaired by apple because my mbp would not charge. It came back from the repairs with full battery life so i have been using that and now im down to 15 % and i go to plug it in and it won't charge. The charger is brand new as my other one melted and had to be replaced. The computer was just "fixed". brand new charger and supposedly repaired macbook pro that won't charge. any ideas as to what the heck is wrong with it, and will apple keep sending it back for repairs or will they give me a new one?

well it turned out it wasn't the computer, the charger that i had when i received my repaired laptop had been shorted out somehow when i plugged into the laptop before i had it repaired, so apple gave me another charger and it's all good now

I am trying to pay my bill online. However, when I click the "submit" key, it tells me my "nickname" is incorrect. What the heck is a nickname? I have never had this trouble before.

Had the same problem. Here's how I sorted it out, not including yelling at my PC or ranting in my own thread (that's optional): First you want to delete your saved payment option. If you try this and it does not delete, log out and back in. It should be gone. Now re-enter your payment option (credit card number or whatever you are using) and if it asks if you want to save the data for future use, make sure you give it a nickname that doesn't include any special characters. Hope this works for you!

I am home sharing songs from my computer (library) to another authorized computer (library), the songs will import, but once i sync the iphone (4s) to this computer the songs are shaded and will not import onto the iphone, what the heck is going on?

I am transfering songs from one computer to another using home share. Both machines are authorized in home sharing. The songs import from (my) windows computer to the other (my wifes) authorized MacBook Pro, computer just fine. Once the songs are in the library and i try to sync her Iphone (4s) to her computer the songs ar greyed out and i can't play them nor see them under iPhone after sync is complete. What the heck is going on? BTW, the songs that i have imported are either songs i burned from a CD or songs i have purchased from the iTunes store, so they should sync no problem!? Help please.

What the heck is going on with my Virtual Memory??!!

I'm not really sure why but when I check activity monitor and see my VM it says i'm using anywhere from 230-270 gigs of virtual memory. This is literally fresh out of restart when it says this much and never changes. I go through and check every process I see runing and create a quick estimate of the virtual memory being used, and it's definitely not over 10 gigs if even 5; honestly I think it's listing between 1-2.
What the heck could be causing this? Verified HD and came up clean. Should I be concerned? I'm not gonna lie this macbook isn't running the best it used to be. Watching videos, whether mp4, mkv, youtube, is pretty laggy. I'm aways sure to close all other processes to to try and maximize video performance, not that it helps much. I'm considering a fresh install and recovery via timemachine.

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing

When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply.

I just downloaded an update to ITunes this morning, and now I am getting an error message saying iTunes can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from my computer. What the heck happened?

What the heck is iTunes uploading?

After a frustrating week trying to use iTunes match, I've finally gotten a good chunk of my library in the cloud. The problem is the remaining 10 gigs: all live DJ sets that are roughly 2 hours long. They hover around 180 mb each, so under the limit.
Problem is, I cannot get these to upload at all. I got lucky with one, and another matched, but the rest have been a boondoggle. I've tried many things, and as an experiment I decided to remove all of them from my library, add JUST ONE back into my iTunes, and then keep Activity Monitor open to see what exactly is happening.
And this is what I get: I added back in a file that is 189 mb large. I started the transfer about two hours ago. With Activity Monitor open and set to the Netowrk tab, I originally had "Data sent: 18.38 gb". I verified that I didn't have any thing else really doing any uploads (every once and a while I'd see "Data sent/sec" spike to 1k/second or so, so I figured it was probably just Mail checking my inbox). Now it's two hours later, Data sent/sec has ranged from 40k/sec to 90k/sec (darn ADSL's slow upload speeds). But here's the kicker, I see "Data sent: 18.69 gb"
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but a 189 mb file added to 18.38 gb should equal around 18.58 gb. Which means that iTunes has magically uploaded an additional 100 mb or so of data. Even considering the fact that, since this is an mp3, it'd get re-encoded into an AAC, I find it very unlikely that we're talking about a 50% decrease in compression efficiency, and keep in mind that the upload STILL ISN'T FINISHED. In fact, as I write this, it's now at 18.73 gb data sent and no sign of stopping.
Does anyone know what exactly is happening here? This mirrors my experiences with my first few attempts at uploading these sets: 10 gigs at once, but 6 gigs of uploading later, not a single one had finished. WHAT THE HECK IS ITUNES MATCH DOING??? I'm seriously considering canceling and seeing if I can get my money back, since I mainly cared about being able to stream these sets onto my iPad.

Uh just to update, at around 18.77 gb data sent, data has stopped being uploaded from iTunes. Except it's still not done "uploading" the one song. So now I guess it's officially hung. WHAT'S HAPPENING???

CS6 has been converted from the upgrade I bought to a trial version. What the heck is going on.

I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 for my IMac. I downloaded CS6 and out in my serial number and it worked fine for a number of weeks. Suddenly when I went to use it it said it was a trial version. I had to register it to use my CS6   I registered it and it worked, but only as a Trial Version of CS6 Extended. I do not want CS6 Extended. I deleted the trial version of CS6 Extended from my hard drive and once again downloaded my upgrade of CS6 and put in my serial number and it worked fine for a couple of weeks. Today, once again, it tells me it is a trial version and will not load unless I register the trial version. What the heck is going on? This is crazy. I simply want to use CS6, for which I paid. Help!

Thanks!
