OS X :: Can Transfer File From The System To Allow Them To Be Deleted Like A Normal File

Jul 20, 2009

While copying files from my digital camera xD card onto my mini, the Card reader un-mounted itself and remounted its self several times, I have no idea why...Now I have a load of 0Kb files in the folder where I was copying to. I can delete these, but they come up with a "file in use" error message so I need to click for each file to be deleted... ~350 left I did try a restart thinking that may clear up any "pending" file transfers from the system to allow them to be deleted like a normal file

OS X :: System Considerably Slower After Large File Transfer

Jan 8, 2011

I copied a lot of information to my friend's mid-2010 MBP, about 80GB of data. Used iChat - transfer took about three hours but it got there.Before the transfer her laptop was very quick - didn't have much installed, plenty of free space. After the transfer, the laptop still have a lot of free space (>100GB) but is very slow. Before the laptop would take maybe 1 minute to boot up.. now it's over three. She experiences bouncing beach balls when loading applications.

Hardware :: Small File Size Limit To The FAT32 File System?

Jan 19, 2009

I was wondering if there is a small file size limit to the FAT32 file system. I recently picked up a 1TB WD external with Firewire (pre-formatted FAT32) and have been transferring movies and such fine, but I just tried transferring an HD movie (5GB) and some large .dmg's/.iso's and they all just fail with an error.

Is this a size limitation, and will i need to reformat the drive to fix it, or is there something else I'm missing?

OS X :: Hiding File Inside Image File / Unable To Access Hidden File?

Mar 24, 2008

I managed to successfully hide the file: cat picture.jpg hidden.rtf.zip > picture2.jpg

results in a picture (picture2.jpg) that is the size of the sum of picture.jpg and hidden.rtf.zip. I presume this means that I am successfully putting hidden into the picture.I can open picture2.jpg, but I can't figure out a way to access the hidden zip.

MacBook Pro :: Is It Normal When I Download A Widget, Application The File Drops On Desktop

Jun 18, 2010

I am new to a mac and have the download setting set up to drop on desktop when I download something.

My question is that I downloaded some widgets today for the desktop like "The Weather Channel" one. When it finished downloaded, it appeared on the desktop as two files a zip file and another file. I then had to click on it to run it but in the end I had to move the zip file to the trash after I was done installing it. Is that normal. Should there be two files each time. Do I need to turn on/off a setting.

Also happened when I clicked on a video to watch, I was streaming it but when I flashed to my desktop it downloaded it also. Is this normal.

OS X ::restoring Deleted Sparsebundle File

Aug 6, 2010

My Mac was running out of space and my utility showed me that the .sparsebundle file (in my username folder but a greyed-out one with a "dot" in front of it) was gigantic in size (around 100 GB). So I deleted it.
I emptied the trash and everything appeared to be fine, until I logged out.

When I tried to log in with that user again it threw an error and I couldn't log in anymore. I then logged in with the Admin account (luckily I remembered) and that worked, but all my data from the previous user that iI was using appears to be gone!!

Is there anything I can do to get that data back? I'm very desperate, there are hundreds of very important files that are now gone.

MacBook Pro :: Recovering A Deleted File?

Dec 4, 2010

[URL]

however, I never did find that one file I was originally searching for!

The program I was using ( Data Rescue 3 ) renamed all my .jpegs in its search of my deleted files. So when I searched for the one I wanted not only did it not come up, but I was searching through 40,000+ jpegs one by one. Didn't get too far before I gave that up.

Is this normal for a data recovery program? Since I deleted them, it deleted the file structure for it so it renames them?

And has anyone successfully restored a deleted item? Just wanna save a few jpegs, that I was attached to.

I've never backed up my HD in the 4+ years of owing a mac so thats out of the option unfortunately. Looks like I know what I'll as for for christmas. An external.

OS X :: Deleted My User File/how To Restore It?

Feb 10, 2009

I deleted my user file Macintosh HD/Users/MY USER NAME.

How can I get it back? I used data rescue 2 but it didn't get the folders it was in or the file names and I have about 300 files on my desktop so I can't rename everything. I also have a iPhone and I and I want to know if everything on it will be deleted at the next sync (Contacts, songs, videos, Photos, Apps) if I can't get my files back because some of my song aren't backup so my iTunes won't be the same as the last time I sync my iPhone (My iPhone is Jailbroken.)

OS X :: Recovering Deleted Word File?

Apr 6, 2009

I have been searching all over this site, but I am in a time crunch. I deleted a paper saved as a word file earlier this afternoon. I downloaded Data Rescue II and FileSalvage, but they are both pretty expensive and I am not sure if the demo actually found the file i need. Can anyone direct me to a free program that works well, or confirm that one of those two programs works before I drop $100 to save a 7 page paper.

Intel Mac :: Erase A File That Says It Cannot Be Deleted?

May 29, 2012

I have a file that suddenly appeared and it says that it can not be deleted.  I dragged it to the trash and the exact message is:

The item "7702D020" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.   

I tried unlocking it.  It does nothing when I try to find the info.  It says that it is an Excel file and I can not open it either.  I am afraid that it is a "nasty" type file.  Malware or something along those lines.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Strange File On Desktop Can't Be Deleted

Mar 18, 2012

I created a new project in Garageband called QE2.band on my desktop, I imported a midi file into the project, made some changes and saved it.This created two Icons on my desktop. Both with the same exact name of QE2.band. One had the standard document looking icon with the Guitar, and the second which looked like a minni screenshot of my GB tracks.I later moved the one with the "Tracks" icon to my music folder in the "Grarge Band" sub folder. I can still access this project just fine. But the Icon with the document looking Icon with the Guitar still appears on my desktop.If I double click on this desktop Icon, is is highligted with the selection rectangle, but does nothing.If I attempt to drag this Icon to the Trash in the Dock I get the message box saying "The item "QE2.band" can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted."If I RIGHT CLICK (CONTROL-CLICK) on this icon and select "Move to Trash", I get the same dialog box as above.If I open a Finder window in my desktop directory, the file does not appear.If I open up the "Terminal" app and cd to my desktop folder and execute the ls -la command, I do not see this file QE2.band.If I include the ls switches to how hidden (beginning with a ".") and including the -i to show the files id/inode number, including a null file spec, an "*" file spec or the actual file name "QE2.band" as the file spec, it still responds with file not found:ix:Desktop jeff$ pwd/Volumes/IX User/Users/jeff/Desktopix:Desktop jeff$ ls -la QE2.bandls: QE2.band: No such file or directory [code]
