Where can I find my lost found folder?

My anti-virus software found a corrupt file in my lost found folder. I can't find this folder to save my life. My spotlight doesn't recognize any of the names I use(lost found and name of corrupt file) I even tried looking at all my files. Please help

Like nearly all anti-virus applications, Avast can cause havoc to your system - get rid of it.
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.

  • How can I find a lost bookmark folder in another bookmark folder? I had a sticky mouse when I moved it.

    How can I find a lost bookmark folder? A folder stuck on my mouse pointer I shook the mouse and it released the folder somewhere in the hundreds of other bookmark folders. I don't want to have to open every folder and search every file to locate it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Renaldo,
    You might try restoring a backup of your bookmarks.
    1. From the menu at the top of the Firefox window bar, click the Bookmarks menu and choose Organize Bookmarks to open the Library window.
    2. Before proceeding, you should make a backup of your current bookmarks.
    1. From the toolbar on the Library window, select Import and Backup and choose Backup.
    2. Firefox will ask you to save the bookmark backup to a folder on your hard drive. Choose a location that you will remember.
    3. Your current bookmarks have been backed up to the file you selected.
    3. From the toolbar on the Library window, select Import and Backup to open the Import and Backup menu, and pick Restore to see a list of available bookmark backups organized by date.
    4. To restore one of the listed backups, select it from the Restore menu. Choose the newest bookmark backup that was created before the bookmarks were lost. You will lose all changes to your bookmarks that occurred after the date you select.
    '''NOTE:''' To restore a backup that you saved manually, select Choose File from the Restore menu instead of selecting an automatic backup
    5. A confirmation window will appear asking you to confirm replacing your bookmarks with the backup. To replace the bookmarks, press OK. To go back, press Cancel.
    '''NOTE:''' You cannot undo this unless you saved a backup file as instructed above.
    6. Your bookmarks have been restored to the date you selected. If your bookmarks do not show up after completing the restore process, repeat the above steps to restore an earlier backup.
    If the backup follows the bookmark structure then the missing folder should be displayed

  • Where can i find the Media browser folder

    Hi guys hey where can I find the media browser folder if I want to delete some FCPX videos to free up some space.

    They are placed inside the project folder, in a folder called "Shared Items." The default location of the project folder is in your Movies folder, called "Final Cut Projects." On an external drive, the "Final Cut Projects" folder is at the top level.
    The shared file will have a name that starts with the project name, and ends with whatever you shared it to. For example, "<projectname > - Mac and PC.mp4"
    There will also be a file called ShareStatus.plist in that folder. It tracks all the instances of when you share the project. I will also control whether a little icon appears next to your project name in FCPX. Finally, if you delete an item that was shared and it still exists in that .plist file, you will see an exclamation point next to the shared icon; it is harmless but to get rid of that you need to delete the entry from the .plist file.
    Hope this helps!

    Using Finder doesn't find it. Files I had been working on appeared lost but now I know they are in My Templates but i can't find the folder My Templates.  Any help would be gratefully received.

  • Where can I find the backups.backupdb folder?

    I accidently moved my backups.backupdb folder in my Macintosh HD to another place. Now, I forgot its orginal place. Would anyone like to help me provide some info on the original place? Is it under "library" or under "systerm"?
    Thank you for your kind help.

    If the backups.backupdb is on Macintosh HD then you are backing to the same disk drive that is storing your data. This is not a good backup plan. The usual reason to need the backup is disk drive failure. If both your data and the backup are on the same disk drive and it fails you lost everything.
    You need to get an external disk drive for Time Machine to send the backups to so that in case Macintosh HD fails then you still have your backup on another disk drive.
    If you search for backups,backupdb in SpotLight that should find it for you.

  • Where can I find good ID pocket folder templates?

    My ID software came with a huge folder of templates for all kinds of projects, but strangely enough, there are no pocket folder templates. I wonder why?
    Aside from printer's websites, are there any ID pocket folder templates in some obvious places that I've missed that anyone can suggest?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    I just want to second Peter's suggestion.
    To get a "folder template" made up the company has to make or have made a "die-forme" which can add extra cost.
    If you contact your print supplier and tell them your needs - they should already have a folder template setup that suits a "die-forme" they already have.
    That way you don't incur the cost of having the "die-forme" created.

  • Where can i find my lost photos

    I have recently updated to Mavericks, when I open iPhoto it prompts me to open choose a library or create a new one. When it brings up the list it is emty. I appear to have lost all of my photos and hadn't yet set up a backup. Is there any way to recover them?

    Do a Spotlight search for "Library6.iPhoto".  If one shows up in the search results window it can take you to the library that it is part of.
    there are no such files on your hard drive you have no library on the drive and should restore your backup copy made just before the upgrade was performed.

  • I lost the pictures i took with my ipad2 and my vídeos, also my safe note, where can i find them??

    I LOST THE PICTURE I TOOK WITH MY IPAD2 AND MY VIDEOS, ALSO MY SAFE NOTES, WHERE CAN I FIND THEM????

    Had you reset your iPad or just done anything else when you found that they were missing ? If they were on the iPad when you last synced/backed up via your computer's iTunes then you could try restoring to that back up and see if that restores them to your iPad. Also for Notes you could check to see if they are stored on any of the email accounts that you've got on the iPad - try logging into the accounts via a browser and see if any have a Notes folder underneath them.

  • Where can I find drivers for my Portege M200 - I lost my Recovery CD

    Where can I find drivers to my Portege M200? Because on the download-page there are none. The only drivers that you could find there were drivers to the bluetooth, wlan and I think that is it. Have no drivers for my soundcard, my nic and all the other stuff.
    The reason I need to download them is that I really really needed to make an new install and my recovery-disc is lost since the last time I've moved.
    Naturally I called Toshiba and asked if I could get a new one, or if I could download it some how, the answer I got was "sorry, neither we or any of our associates have any".
    And because the windows-license is only valid for "Windows XP Tablet edition Toshiba" with SP1 preistalled and the only way I could get that is if I had such a disc.
    So the advice the support gave me was to purchase an new windows-license and if I wanted everything to work I should bye the Windows XP Tablet edition 2005 or something like that.
    But since I have an XP pro license already I decided to install it since I almost never use the tablet properties anymore. And now when I have done just that I can't find almost any drivers so my computer will work properly.

    Hi
    > Where can I find drivers to my Portege M200? Because on the download-page there are none
    What Toshiba driver page did you check????
    I have visited the Toshiba European driver page and found all necessary drivers
    Please follow this path and you should get the Toshiba European driver site:

  • So i have some open work from the night before on my computer and left it on, closed the top, the computer restarted it's self and lost all the work to what was added.....where can i find it....was it auto saved?

    so i have some open work from the night before on my computer and left it on, closed the top, the computer restarted it's self and lost all the work to what was added.....where can i find it....was it auto saved?

    If the application supported auto-save, yes, if not, then no.
    If you were creating a mail message, it might be in the drafts folder of the e-mail program.
    What evidence do you have the computer restarted itself?    Did the Apple logo come up?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    iTunes update or Windows Update? Are you logged into a temporary profile?
    Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
