Long list of files in square brackets, such as: {859fd135-7f2e-417d-9843-512b4cff43f7}

My C drive has a few dozen of these files listed before all of my subfolders brackets. What are they and are they required to keep?

Thank you

I have 8.  They are almost certainly updates and should have been deleted automatically, but because it doesn't, they can be removed, but you can have access problems regarding permissions to do so.  You may need to give you all the rights for files (and all files and subdirectories) and go to advanced and then click the property tab and appropriate (again, including all files and subdirectories) before you access or do something with these files.  But what I just described should give your all access you need.

Just to be safe, I would first of all rename them exactly as they are named, but add - OLD at the end of the name.  If for some reason, they are necessary and you start to have problems (I don't think this is the case and you will be surprised if this causes problems, either), all you need to do is remove the - old and you will be back to normal.  I don't think it of a problem, but this just to be on the safe side.  If all goes well, after a few days or a week or two (all that makes you comfortable), you can go ahead and delete them (but do not empty the trash for another two weeks - new just to be on the safe side).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Some changes that may be what you watch:

    • All of my files - this is the search folder that searches all your files in your home and presents them in one place. They were not moved, they are displayed just like they are.
    • Framed by default - the sidebar returns the values by default for all folders that you placed there will need to be added again.

    Your files are stored inside your folder into subfolders such as Documents, movies, pictures, etc. They are all should still be there. You can add one of these folders to the sidebar by dragging them there, or you can use the tab of the sidebar in the Finder preferences.

    You can access your file in the Finder with cmd-shift-h (menu go).

  • I can view is no longer the video files to the format AVCHD using Windows Media Player on my desktop

    I can view is no longer the video files to the format AVCHD using Windows Media Player on my desktop.

    I could at some point... but now all I get is audio, no video.  The files open and work on

    my laptop that also uses Windows Media Player... but for some reason now... nadda.  Seemed

    This all started when I upgraded Windows more late service CAP and also installed Real Player.

    Help!

    Hello

    • What version of Windows are you using?

    1. it is possible that you are missing the codec to play the file or it is clashing with other codec files.

    2. the link provided below lists supported by Windows Media Player file format.
    It does not list the AVCHD or. MTS files supported file format directly:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    3. yet we cannot be sure at this point that the issue is due to interference with some files.

    Method 1:
    Alternatively, you can perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem.

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Please refer to the below of the help links on performing a system restore.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2:
    You can determine which codec was used with a specific file; read the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On thefile tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.

    Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.

    If you have several codec for the single file to work they can clash and cause problems.

  • Identify too long to backup file names.

    Using Vista on my laptop and the complex file names are required because of the research that I do.

    When you run a regular backup to an external drive, I get an error message that some file names are too long for the files to copy, but no list of crime files is given.  I am informed to shorten them, but not how to identify them.
    Is there a quick way to find these files so that I can change the names?

    Hi John,.

    I just went to that link without problem using IE9 RC - but if you send you elsewhere to get the download, then maybe you'll have more success with the download page: http://www.parhelia-tools.com/products/pathscanner/Download.aspx.  It is the only near the top (or you can try the alternate).

    If specific filenames are not so long (assuming 260 is the number we need to worry and we are not quite sure of this), then it's probably the length of the path.  The path includes everything, like C:\Users\\Appdata\local\microsoft\temp\iooiee90939ntgngjoiga909ri4jt09049japgaopjgp\...\filename.doc and if this WHOLE thing is too long (260 or other), then it cannot copy or paste.  Chances are that these files were created by programs or automatically, not by you.

    My guess is that these are temporary files of IE (they tend to be very long) and if first delete you IE temporary files (Tools / Options / history / delete / don't check the Temp files and save them favorite boxes above, uncheck everything else for this test), then you find out that you don't really have the problem more.

    What is the external hard drive formatted in NTFS or FAT32 or FAT16?  If this isn't NTFS, I recommend that use the command convert to change to NTFS.  Not only is a better choice, but it can also solve this problem (although it's more a guess that based on specific research-, then it makes a difference with the size of the file and the file information, I saw say anything specifically made a difference in path length).  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Convert-a-hard-disk-or-partition-to-NTFS-format.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • I can no longer save local files

    I can no longer save local files (access denied)

    This is the first time I encounter a problem.

    As CC DW and DW CC 2014 were both installed, I thought that it might be linked to a conflict between the 2 versions. So I uninstalled DW CC, always the same behavior.

    Before uninstalling DW CC, I tried a deactivation of the W7 Ultimate 64) (firewall and AVG Free Antivirus. This attempt had no influence on behavior.

    Hi Jessica,.

    The problem is solved!

    I have a PC where 'C' is located in a slot, with direct access from the outside of the box.
    My documents and so on are on a separate 'E' drive, located inside the PC.
    With such a structure, I can change my OS (when the PC is turned off), but I still have access to my documents.
    Records of webdesign and removing one located on the second disc of 'E '.

    I followed your recommendation, copied the folder to the local site for which I had discovered that I could record is no longer the file changed on the desktop.
    After that, I changed the name of the folder and set up a new site for this new folder name.
    I opened the html file to which I had detected the problem, because the change that was expected and could save without any problems!

    I got confirmation that the problem with DW CC 2014 was due to "security settings" on the way to my site on this disk 'E '. Apparently, the phenomenon was linked either to the updates to DW CC and the new version of DW CC 2014 that were installed at the same time, when I discovered the problem. Or maybe the 'E' behaviour changed in conjunction with a updated Microsoft security.
    Indeed, unlike the usual situation, where I have to many updates of the site after the end of may, the 15e edition of this oldtimer rally scheduled to be held in 2014 could not take place and was reported until 2015. Because of this situation the last update of the site was made April 12, so I could not detect earlier the difficulty of saving files.

    I changed the security settings for 'E' and now I can save once again as much experience in the past.

    Thank you, bikini to show the way!

    Kind regards

    You won't see anything, but the problems reported here most of the time. This is a support forum. People without problems, much more numerous than those having problems, but they are not seeking this community to report this fact.

  • When I click on address book I no longer get the slot to insert a name, instead a long list of names/addresses

    I sent this way new emails (not responses): click on address book. Place comes the space to insert a name. I do, find the name (among some close to it), select it and then click on "write". The result is an email address, which I proceed to write and send. But since there is one day, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the screen of the iMac. And there is no space to insert a name.
    Without doubt, I did something stupid to get there. What have I done? And how I turn the tide?
    Thank you.
    Arthur

    This isn't answering your question on what is wrong.

    I think that the address book is a pretty lame place to start.

    Click on write or reply or forward and window of writing messages appears. pre-populated with the text of the previous message if it is a reply or forward.

    If you select the To: box and start typing, it will feature names in the address book corresponding to what you typed.

    If you really prefer to choose from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add Contacts selected to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt + v to get the view menu and choose the Contacts Sidebar in the submenu. I don't know how much it works on Mac.

    It is so easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or BCC.

    Your method allows you to send a new message, but does not support the answer or transfer. It penetrates into all recipients regarding: and you have to change one by one, if that is not appropriate.

    You see why I think that the address book is a bad place to start from?

    If this alternative approach does not work then I suggest that corrupted address book. You have a recent backup to restore from?
