I now have a file in my trash, that I didn't create or move to trash, that is titled "Recovered Files" with sub files titles "Entourage Temp" and "plugtmp". Is this one of the new and amazing features of the 5.6 update?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhenever I start the Mac, there is always a folder named "recovered files" in the recycle bin...even though the bin was empty before previous shutdown. There is a "wkresources" in the folder. What is this? I really want to see a clear bin when start. Can I do something to change that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I recently installed Microsoft Office 2011 Home and Business. Its great I "LOVE" it. Which is odd for me because I hate 2008 and only had little using time with 2004.
I noticed though that whenever I log into my computer there is a file in the trash called Recovered Files. Just wondering what all of that is about. I'm assuming that since it is in the trash it is safe to delete?
I have these recovered files in my trash that will not empty out ... Any thoughts as to how to get rid of them?

I looked in Users/Library/Pictures to find my iPhoto Library file, however it doesn't seem to my newer photos that I imported into the library.
Is there a secondary/hidden location that the original files are stored in? Where exactly can I find them?

I just woke up and noticed that I have a Recovered File in my trash can. It has a "Temp File AAA", ProJlib, Imllib, something else, and another folder containing some quicktime stuff and a bunch of other things. I am not sure what it is as it wasn't there when I went to sleep a few hours ago. I clicked get info and all the stuff says it says last activity was on oct 28 at 5:27 pm. Is this from the daily scripts the mac runs around 3 in the am? I secure emptied the trash already too. Also, Onyx says my weekly and daily scripts were run at 7:15 and 7:30 am....today. Is that normal for them to run just as I turn on my cpu from sleep?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn a fresh boot of my G5 Power Mac (latest version late 2005, 2GHz), there are usually several fonts in the trash in a folder named Recovered Items. All of the fonts are fonts I have disabled using Font Book, some are normal fonts and some are system fonts that throw up a message to the effect of "Are you sure you want to disable this font?...." when disabling them with Font Book. In this case they are always fonts I will never use, Korean, Chinese or Arabic etc. Is this something to be concerned about? I have noticed no problems running the system or in any software, so I just empty the trash and get on with my work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy dad's computer just had a kernel panic and I want to fix it fast. I've already run the basic Apple hardware test and it says no problems found. About last week he added 8GB (2x4GB) modules to his Mac Pro. He's running OSX 10.5.8, when he started it back up, it said OSX has recovered from an error/serious error and sent a report to Apple. The most recent thing he did was change his external backup drive (for TM) to a fresh one - a 1TB Lacie HD. Is there anything I can do to figure out what happened? Is it possible this could be just a once off thing, or maybe it was that mosaic screensaver? When the kernel panic occurred it was on that screensaver.

There is one e-mail in there that has pics in it, but I can't delete that message without it keep reappearing. I have deleted the e-mail from the Recovered Messages folder and it keeps coming back. I have deleted the On My Mac mailbox and it keeps coming back. I even deleted the original e-mail from my inbo. I do not know how to make this folder go away.

I have a macbook pro with a 750 GB hard disk. This was purchased only recently. Two months ago, it showed a message which said the hard disk was full. This was despite the fact that I had less than 10GB of pictures and music together.
When I spoke to Apple, they said that Yahoo mail tends to create a recovered messages folder, which he helped me locate and delete. This gave me 740Gb back.
It has happened once again. And i cant seem to lopcate this folder. I cannot find Mail folder either having gone through user/library etc.

Every time I try to delete a recovered message in my email, it returns to the recovered mailbox. I've tried moving it to the junk mail and deleted mailboxes on my server as well as aol. Why won't it delete? It's blocking my incoming messages!
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my Macbook Pro (Tiger) I suddenly got an error message about running out of space on the start up disc (woking on a word 2008 document). Checking suggested I had only 124MB left.
A couple of days earlier I had 60gb free. Deleting a few gb of programs reduced the space to zero!
I couldn't work out were the space was being used but as most programs were now refusing to work. I just shut down.
On switching back on, the HD space had come back and I had my 60gb of free space back.
whether its a sign of a problem I should try and sort out, or is it just "one of those things".
I recently lost access to my Seagate eSATA HD after my Mac froze up and I had to do a hard shut down of both the Mac and my eSATA drive. When plugged in, OSX says I must initialize the disk before use (Windows says the same thing, but uses the word "format"). I figured out the drive is now in RAW format. I found a nifty little program called Recover My Files, (which cost a cool $69.95, far less than professional data recovery services) and ran a scan on my drive. It found what appears to be all of my files, but it doesn't look quite like what it did on the drive. Several top level directories are gone, and their content folders and files just spread out in the list.
All of this is OK by me, but when I try to save the files to another location, the software says my selected files take up 2.43 TB of space to save! The eSATA drive itself was only a 500 GB hard drive, so I don't know how it could find 2.43 TB to save. And I had only used around 350 GB of space on the drive. I did go through and found it had several duplicates for many of the files, that looked like maybe older versions or temp versions (with a ~ in font of the file name). I'm not sure how all these files could fit on that drive, but maybe I am misunderstanding something. Anyhow, I want just to save the correct files. A) I don't have space for all that stuff, my max to copy to is 500 GB (minus used space), and B) I don't want to have to sort through all of those files to get the one's I need (assuming there are tons of dupes in there).
I'm fairly new to Macs, I just got my Macbook back in March and I haven't had any problems with it until lately. Last week I sent a few very large emails through my mail client which is attached to my gmail account. I'm not sure what happened but while sending them, one in particular, stopped. Now, every time I open mail this email shows up under "On My Mac" under recovered up to 35 times. (Sorry, it's currently 71.) Since it's a huge email it's slowing everything down and making it impossible to use mail. On occasion when I try to delete it my entire mac freezes momentarily. I've tried deleting it in the folder but it always comes up again when I open my mail client and multiplies.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe setup: MacPro 2.8GHz (Early 2008 model with 8 cores, 10 GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 8800GT, four internal hard drives of a total of 5.25 TB).
The symptoms: On Friday night I was booted into Windows Vista (64-bit) via Bootcamp as I had to do a bit of gaming not possible under OS X. Specifically I played All Points Bulletin (brand new MMO only for Windows). I found it to be an interesting idea to open another game at the same time (Warhammer Online). So I had both games running at once. After a couple of hours I received an error message ("Display driver has stopped responding and successfully recovered"). I had seen this message on a few occasions under Windows some months ago too. This time however the error message went away only to give me a slightly garbled image on screen. Psychedelic colours, quite funny looking in fact. I restarted Windows, and all looked normal again.
Then I opened browsers, word documents and so on, all normal. But as soon as I opened a game, the display was full of distortion and funny looking colours, dots and stripes, patterns vertically and horizontally. I also received the dreaded blue screen (which I had never had in Windows on my Mac since I installed it two years ago). I booted into OS X. All looked normal. Then I opened a game. Same symptoms as in Windows. I restarted. Opened only a simple YouTube video. Even then the display was making everything on screen impossible to see (and read). I did all the normal procedures (resetting PRAM, checking on logs for hints at what could be wrong and so on). I also ran the Apple hardware test, the extended version, which lasted two hours. It found nothing wrong.
I checked all connections and cables, I double checked the interiors of the Mac, no dust, all looked normal. I restarted the Mac into OS X once again, and this time I could only see the Apple logo during booting. After that it was mostly a black screen with some strange colour patterns. I'm writing this from another computer away from home as the Mac is all I have there at the moment, and I do not have access to any of its contents from here now (no logs to show you, no photos or videos). To me this looks definitely like the 8800GT has died completely, and I will bring it into an Apple retailer tomorrow for some testing, but I thought I'd just mention this here in case you guys should have any ideas. I would like to point out that I run iStat on my Mac and that I regularly check on the components temperatures and fan speeds.
Everything always look normal there (low temps in general, and fan speeds are mostly at their idle default settings, spinning up a little bit when doing graphically intensive tasks for example when video editing or playing a game). I did notice on Friday night that the power supply fan under OS X remained at its low idle setting all the time even when I tried to speed it up by using SMC Fan Control. The program managed to speed up all the other fans, but not the PSU fan. I do not know if that is any indication of something else going on. Sadly SMC Fan Control cannot control the GPU card's fan under OS X, but under Windows I do regularly control the GPU fan and temperature, and the card there has always been running between 60 and 84 degrees C.
I have two disks containing data organized in a RAID 0 array. I have a MacPro running Snow Leopard. Recently, the RAID array does not show up in the Finder and is not accessible. Disk Utilities can't inspect or repair the disks because of the dreaded B tree node size error.
Can these disks be salvaged? Can the data be recovered?
My iMac 27 was stolen and then recovered. The thieves added a new admin account "User" that has no password. My accounts are visible, but the passwords I was using when they stole it are no longer valid. I thought I could simply use the new "User" admin account to access Users & Groups and reset my account passwords. But when I go to Users & Groups my old accounts are greyed out, I cannot select them. How can I regain access to my original accounts?
