Why are there recovered files in the trash

Since upgrading to Leopard I have found that there is very often recovered files in the Trash.
Nothing has crashed, but I find a folder called 'Recovered Files' which contains Quark Xpress file, or other items. Just today, I found the PDF log (created by Quark), plus a duplicate of this file in the trash. Neither of which will delete.
Then I found that Quark was still open. Quitting allowed the files to delete, but they did not disappear from showing in the trash, they just weren't physically there.
Anyone help?

You're right!!
I looked for an answer and I found it on Microsoft's site:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/i-keep-getti ng-an-empty-file-in-trash-at-startup/e5760e59-9e5f-4a0a-8766-dac6a73af148
1. Open application Office error reporting, the application is located in this folder
      /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MERP2.0
2. Go in preferences
3. Uncheck enable office error reporting
That did it... Thank you!

  • Recovered files in the trash.  How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

    I keep getting the same recovered files in the trash.  How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

    The recovered files are temporary files used by Mac OS X applications. Usually temporary files are deleted by an application when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not be deleted by the application. When you restart your computer, Mac OS X moves these temporary files to the Trash.
    You can retrieve useful files by dragging them out of the Trash. In most cases, however, the temporary files are not important and it is safe to empty your Trash. Check with the manufacturer of the application if you are not sure.

  • Why are there lines going across the screen?

    Why are there lines going across the screen?

    It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
    My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
    It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
    Good luck!

  • The same recovered files in the trash, every morning

    I'm accustomed to Mac OS X's practice of placing potentially important files in a "Recovered Files" folder in the Trash after a reboot if, say, an application crashes. But I'm getting annoyed by my computer's habit of placing a set of files in such a folder every single time it's shut down. The files all look like remnants of an Asian-language font set. Here are the most recent names:
    #Junggothic.dfontATS_493169727169
    #Junggothic.dfontATS_17722080525333
    #Junggothic.dfontATS_3922-125658874
    #Shinmyoungjo.dfontATS_493169492902
    #Shinmyoungjo.dfontATS_17722080452720
    #Shinmyoungjo.dfontATS_3922-126354157
    #Taegraphic.dfontATS_493168710633
    #Taegraphic.dfontATS_17722080055722
    #Taegraphic.dfontATS_3922-128251752
    I do not use any Asian-language input methods whatsoever, nor do I visit Asian-language websites with any regularity. But I can confirm that all three of these fonts:
    #Junggothic.dfont
    #Shinmyoungjo.dfont
    #Taegraphic.dfont
    ... are present in ~/Library/Fonts. Does anyone else also have them, and if so do you know what program may have installed them? Is the hash symbol supposed to be present in the name? I'm tempted just to trash them, but I'd prefer not to if they're regularly used by websites, etc.
    Thanks!

    Since they aren't installed by OS X or MS Office, then they were installed by some third-party software you installed.
    The files in the Trash are actually cache files generated by the ATS = means either Apple or Adobe Type System. Probably the former. Most likely these result from the nightly cleanup scripts tossing unneeded cache files from the Type System.
    If you don't use these fonts then track them down and remove them. If they aren't in one of the three Fonts folders normally used, then they could be Adobe fonts stored elsewhere on your computer. Use a utility like Easy Find - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to search for them.

  • If i am the only user and owner of my macbook, then why are there 78 users in the directory editor?

    Hi guys just wanted to know little bit about the open directory as my MacBook Pro has been playing up on and off at least a couple of years.  I have been advised by Apple over the phone or as well as over the genius bar in trying to get my mac to behave.  This normally solves whatever problem that has been happening at the time. "Great, job done!"...  Not so much, as another problem eventually shows it's ugly pixelated face again and then we end up going round the Infinite loop ride one more time...  And this ride ain't always free!  I have forked out about £600 on it so far and it wasn't cheap in the beginning!  Anyway I have just got off the ride and before I get punched by a plyst to get back on I would rather learn about the things I don't understand so hopefully I can resolve the matter without hair loss.  So my main question so far is why are there 78 user names (most of which are computer related names, not all) are found in Directory Utility?  I do not play games on my Mac it is mainly used for media such as iPhoto, iTunes, pages, mail and surfing the net.  So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
    If you have any suggestions or pointers then please post a reply.
    Thanks for reading
    Orion

    So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
    None. It's normal. Make no modifications.
    It's not clear what trouble you are experiencing, or if anything is wrong at all. If your Mac is not behaving as you expect it should, describe what's wrong in as much detail as possible.
    Include all relevant details regarding your MacBook Pro starting with which one of its three dozen models you have. Posting the results of EtreCheck will help with that. Read about it here.

  • Why are there 2 folders created - the photo library and the synced folder

  • Why are there strange files in my music library when I add music to iTunes?

    My music files were in the "My Music" folder on my laptop (Windows 7) just minding their own business. When I added them to iTunes, though, the program decided to vomit dozens and dozens of small files into the music folder to mix with my mp3 files. They're all titled with numbers and letters like code. If I delete them, they just come right back as soon as I open iTunes.
    Here's what it looks like:
    I really, really, really, really do NOT want to have to sift through hundreds of files to choose a song or mess with my Library (I'm still in the process of building it up).
    Can someone please help me out here? This is one of the reasons I'm debating on whether I even want a new iPod. Obviously, there are so many things I love about Apple. But I've looked this up online and, judging from experience with Apple, I have the bad feeling that either 1. Nobody will answer this question or 2. Everyone will say "Just deal with it."

    Those files should be being created in folders of the form:
    <User's Music>\iTunes\Album Artwork\Cache|Download\<GUID>\<##>\<##>\<##>
    The <GUID> in your case is 0CDB362F24AD473A...
    If they are appearing anywhere else I would suspect a permissions problem. iTunes just spits them out where it can. Similar problems can sometimes cause it to drop files on the desktop.
    Repair Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    Once you've repaired the permissions search for all files of the form *.itc2 in the music folder and delete them, then start iTunes. iTunes will rebuild the artwork cache in the correct location as you scroll through your library.

  • I have uninstalled, downloaded latest and installed but it still doesn't work. Why are there still files leftover even after manually removal whatever I could?

    I am a Windows 8.1 user. I have followed instructions found online. But still nothing works.
    McAfee is still saying Firefox is untrusted and will not run it.
    I have managed to delete some folders containing Firefox but there are some still remaining.
    Why?
    There was never a problem before today.

    Hi, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer this article] will help you to completely remove Firefox.
    You should ''only'' download Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Mozilla.]
    If McAfee is still not allowing it, you may need to look at the settings within McAfee.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why are there duplicate results in the Open With menu?

    I own an iMac with the latest version of OSX (I forget what it is). As you can see in this image, I am going to open an image using the Open With menu, and there are a lot of repeats. In addition to the repeats, some apps show up that no longer exist and some apps don't show up that still do exist. For example, I no longer have RockMelt on my operating system. I also don't have the version of Pixelmator listed: I trashed that version and installed a different version, but when I click on Pixelmator in the menu, it reverts to Preview because that version of Pixelmator no longer exists. This is a minor issue but it is really bothering me because whenever I want to open Pixelmator, I have to go through the whole process of clicking Other and browsing my applications folders to get to it. Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated and I would reward you with imaginary cookies (Yum!).
    Seriously though, I need help.

    Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
    When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

  • Why are there no updates for the 800w

    I know there were 2 patches early on. The voice command works about 80% of the time, so I guess that's better than nothing; I can't see any improvement in the usb charging / recognition behavior; or let's just say it's still extremely poor.
    I look at the Blackberry Bold forum and see that there are updates for that already; in fact it looks almost continuous. That is, there are signs of activity from BB and none from Palm.
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    What I was kinda hoping for with this new upgrade was a news column in the ministore...I think most fans now realize that it's the studios fault (thanks to Debbstar and others). What people don't know (me included) is WHY??? We want to know what's going on insead of speculating. Is there a contract legal issue regarding schedule changes at Sci Fi? Does this have something to do with the syndications coming out? Or maybe something to do with SG1's cancelation?? Fans hate being left in the dark more than they hate not being able to download their shows...well, almost as much anyway Jesus, I am a geek now. I'm complaining about a science fiction show. Lets all go picket!!

  • Why are there adds all over the screen

    There are Adds in both bottom corners and in the bottom middle.... WHY???? How con this be fixed?

    If these occur on all sites, you may have an unwanted extension (or more than one) that is injecting the ads into sites. Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the ads?

  • Why are there no answers to the wifi issues with iOS 7.0.4

    Why isn't Apple addressing the issues with wifi connectivity, or lack there of, with iOS 7.0.4? Everyone is complaining, but no one is answering. Don't tell me about turning on and off of wifi and router...been there. Come on apple...give us some help here. And why will my iPad 2 connect to Apple but absolutely no where else?

  • Wow, why does Creative Cloud suck so bad?   Why are there no FAQs in the Creative Cloud FAQ?

    I am new to Creative Cloud.   I found some PSD event poster templates on line and I would like to be able to download some of these templates to create event posters.   I have modest goals.  
    1) I found a link on the Adobe site for $9.99 monthly fee for photoshop + lightroom.   ok, seems reasonable to spend $10 for a month to see how it goes, I think
    2)  Once I get my CC account set up, there is no upgrade option or the $10 / month deal... only options are more expensive than $10 / month... but I can try it free for some time... ok I'll do that.  Hopefully, I will be able to do what I want to do with the free services?  
    3)  Install create cloud app on my computer
    4)  click on install photoshop...   after 20 minutes only 3% downloaded.   darn!   Looks like I am not going to be creating any flyers tonight!
    5)   Is there something wrong?   Maybe I have done something stupid (I mean besides signing up for CC)... lemme check the Creative Cloud FAQ.   Oh!   There are no questions in the Creative Cloud FAQ.   Excellent...
    It takes a special kind of talent to transform a potential customer who knows nothing about a product and turn that customer into a hater in one evening.
    I just want to say congrats!

    That's the page from which I started this troubled journey.  I clicked on "purchase"  and since I didn't have an account yet, it took me off to some other page to create an account, verify my email and all of that and then finally to a blank page... seemed like there was some delay from the time I created the account until the account became useable.   In the meantime I was continuously directed to a blank page every time I tried to log in.   After some time I was able to look at upgrade options, but the $10 offer was not one of my options.   Now, if I go back to the original page which had the $10 option and click on purchase, it seems like it is giving me the option to purchase.   The whole process seems very poorly designed and poorly executed.   Does the software work any better?
    In any case, what I am looking to do is download some of the cheap or low cost event poster templates on the internet and edit them to create my own event posters.    I am not sure which Adobe application I need to do this.
    Here is an example of the template
    thanks,
    David
