Huge keychains folder and is growing!

My Macbook Air is running out of space, and looking into it, I found that the keychains folder takes 47 GB of space!

It created a file every few minutes from zero punctures to 109 MB!

It seems that the keyrings are crazy.

No idea how to fix this? I found a few messages recommending the Keychain Access to repair, but I discovered, that it has been deleted since the last updates of El Capitan.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

~/Library/Keychains

In the Finder, select

Go ▹ go to the folder...

from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder named "Key ring" should open.

Press command-2 key combination to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click on this title to sort the content by date with the oldest at the top. What is the date of the change of the older file?

  • Please help - I deleted a folder and its subfolders by accident

    Please help I have some palpatations. In a State of fatigue, I noticed there was a folder "downloads" in the Lightroom browser with a single photo I have is no longer necessary. I selected the picture and deleted. I then do a right click the folder and press 'delete '. Unfortunately, I did not know that (and I guess what is happened) as "My pictures" in the drive (C :) was emphasized and it deleted all of the subfolders of the catalog (basically all of my work). The photos are all in "All photos", but in a huge lot of 27 thousand files. There is no way I can see to bring the individual file and the date they were when imported and catalogued.

    My biggest concern is obviously the history of changes that I want to keep.

    I tried not to do anything yet as I want some advice first.

    The catalog has not been saved for a few weeks during which I edited a lot.

    I use Lightroom 4.1, windows 7 64 bit.

    Right, I found what happened. Instead of 'Delete' that I thought I had selected in the right click menu I hit "Hide this Parent" below by chance. By masking the parent he 'hid' the parent folder and subsequently all of the subfolders of the parent. So why I had no abduction alert and could not see the subfolder - still could see the images.

    Phew.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Why Thunderbird adds an A at the end of sentences when I save an email that I work on the drafts folder and then open it to work on it at a later date?

    Twice now I work on one e-mail then saved in the drafts folder to finish later and I supported then out of Thunderbird. From the opening of Thunderbird once more and goes to the open drafts folder and to work on the new Thunderbird email, the first time had added an A or an EA at the end of each sentence. I then had to go through the entire email to remove these letters. Today I saved a mail to the drafts folder, as before, and this time when I opened the e-mail again an A had been placed randomly at the end of some sentences, but not all. Yet once I had to go through the entire email and delete adding A I have not had a problem with Thunderbird that in the past. This has been the case during the past two weeks. I received a laptop computer and downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird on it, and it is the version that this happens with. I do not understand why the addition or the letters are added to the email. They are not something I typed in the email.

    I guess right, but sometimes, you can see an A type character when instead of an ordinary space, there is a space specially coded (and it is not decoding in a space of ugly).

    You type a space between sentences? If you type several spaces, it is possible that all but one of them could get specially coded because otherwise HTML will collapse into a single space.

  • Copy a single file to the new folder and remain in multiple versions

    Hello. I am looking for assistance in the next issue. I have a script that helps me to look for a file name and rename it and I have a script that looks like a file and moves it to a new folder. I need one that will combine the two aspects in one based on the example as follows:

    I have a picture but need to rename the same file in several versions. (i.e. original image name 7HABLH.jpg to be copied to a new location and renamed with several different names 6HABLH_01.jpg, 6HABLH_02.jpg, 6HABLH_03.jpg, etc...). This produces even a lot of pictures and are all contained in a CSV file that is configured as below

    My end result would be the image in the folder/column 'OldImageName' is copied into a new folder and renamed the folder/column "NewImageName." Hope my request is logical that I am a poster the first time also trying to learn the script but I don't have a lot of time to achieve and could use as much help as possible.

    Hope that someone out there may be able to help.

    Windows or OS X?

  • My downloads via Firefox did in fact download - "Open" and "Open containing folder" and grayed out when I right click on downloads in the downloads menu

    I had this problem for quite a while. Downloads Download not really. Nothing comes in my download folder (and I checked where they are supposed to be stored, I'm checking the right place). In my downloads through the client Firefox popup if I click on any download, 'Open' and 'Open containing folder' is greyed out. I tried using 18 Firefox and the current client every night and reinstalled several times.

    What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

    So "open" and "Open containing folder" in the menu contextual in the window Download Manager are grayed out then it means that the file is no longer in the original download location and they have been removed by anti-virus software or cleaning.

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupt downloaded files or otherwise interferes with the download of files.

    Try disabling analysis in real time (live) files in your software anti-virus temporarily to see if that makes working download.

    I recently dropped my laptop and it is weird, one day he int open up to 4 start times and sometimes it shows me a folder and a question mark in the interface and sometimes asked to reset my password, what are the steps to take?

    Anything can be corrupted on your MacBook Pro, but from what you say, it seems that the cable drive/SSD/flash memory/SATA hard was seriously damaged. Him "question mark" means that your Mac is unable to find any bootable device, meaning that it does not yet detect your OS X drive.

    You should make a backup of your files (if you can still do it) and take the Mac at the Apple Store or dealer to get a diagnosis. There may be several damaged parts.

  • What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it?

    What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it? Is it too much room, I could use?

    This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.

  • How to restore a folder and subfolders using Time Machine (TM)?

    I need to restore a folder and all its files and subfolders, with the latest at a specific date.

    I'm running Yosemite (10.10.5) and plan to upgrade to El Capitan, shortly.

    To the restored file, includes everything I have he would have seen that day.  Some folders/subfolders may not have changed for a long time (years).  Others may have changed recently.

    An example of this is the Evernote database folder.  In order to recover some of the notes that have been deleted or modified, I need to restore my folder of Evernote completely because it was on a certain date.  It must include all files/folders that I've had to this date.

    How can I do this?

    I did a lot of research, a lot of research, read many documents (including Apple) on the use of TM, and I can't find any information that explains how to do this.

    If TM can do, there's another backup system which can, would you recommend for this?

    Thanks for your help.

    I suggest that visit you Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. See in particular http://pondini.org/TM/15.html and http://pondini.org/TM/16.html .

    You must wipe the drive and reinstall OS X. In the future, you need to stay away from the data in the system until you know what it is and the consequences of the removal.

    Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

    Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

    HD recovery start:

    Restart the computer after the ring, press in and hold the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen to appear.

    Erase the drive:

    1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

    2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

    list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

    3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

    Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

    the clear button and wait until the process is complete.

    4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible

    because it is three times faster than wireless.

    This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it.

    1. download but do NOT install the MSXML4 SP2 update from here:
    2. download AND install the utility Windows Installer Cleanup from here:
    4. open the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from the menu START. Should be found in:
    START > Windows Install Cleanup >...
    5 locate the FSX entry in the list, select it and remove it
    6 click on START
    7. click on "Control Panel."
    8. click on "Folder Options".
    9. uncheck "hide hidden files & folders".
    10. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    11. close all windows
    12. click on START
    13. click on 'computer '.
    14. click on "Local disk (c :))".
    15 go in Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X
    16. If there is any files, delete them
    17. Subsequently, go back one folder and delete the folder of the Flight Simulator X
    18. Once this is done, close all programs, restart the computer and then try to reinstall the game
