May duplicate Applications files are causing problems?

In the Finder, if I choose my device, Macintosh HD and then choose Applications, I find another folder of Applications with an arrow in the lower left corner listed which, when selected, opens a duplicate of the previous Applications folder.  If I choose then this force of Finder Applications folder closes unexpectedly.  This doesn't seem fair.

My computer works fine with the exception of my banking (Banktivity 5) program. I had several copies of this in several cases of nominations, and I wonder if these multiple application folders might be the cause of my problem with Banktivity.  I upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.4.

An arrow in the corner means generally that it is an 'alias' - a pointer back to another folder. Therefore a pointer inside a folder that points to its enclosing folder. Understandbly, the Finder can get into a State of such recursive links.

You should be able to delete the alias without any problem. But you'll have a backup in all cases, of course!

    Keep a tab of discussion open for them. If there is already a tab open, chat works very well.

    When you click on their name, two tabs will appear - one showing a constant loading "dial". Close that one. Then just keep the other open tab.

    I know it's not practical if you have many contacts who chat with you, but if you have just a couple, it's at least a possibility to discuss with them by E-mail.

    Avoid leaving one of these utilities register "cleans" however.  Registry cleaning is a return to slow machines and the small HARD drives and RAM and can do more harm than good.
    The main reasons which need cleaning can be done with the occasional defragmentation and Windows disk cleanup (after installation of software or games, is a good time) drive hard (SSDS do not need defragmentation).
    You can manually delete the files in the Temp folder in your.
    The user-App Data-Local folder if you like. Other than that, just keep the machine erase useless files and uninstall unused software using programs and features and your machine should run smoothly.

    the 'Run' - command and go to the Startup tab.  Clear the check box next to all programs
    which need not be loaded when you start in Windows.

    AVG is OK, but MS Security Essentials has grown in popularity (I always use Avast), as
    is Malwarbytes (often as a crossroads/backup reference and does not work all the time).
    The threat of the new wave is rootkits. Rootkits is difficult (impossible?) to AV to detect, so
    you need something like BitDefender Rescue Disk for detection of rootkits. This is performed from a
    CD/DVD or a bootable flash drive.
    Sophos Anti-rootkit will run Windows, but it is not as effective as BitDefender.
    Note that there are legitimate programs that work in the same way as rootkits (eg. - SecureRom).

    I currently Avast resident and have Spybot Search and Destroy and Malwarebytes installed to use to cross reference analyses. I have no problems with these installed three at the same time.

  • I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time.

    I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time. How can I select multiple files at the same time so I can just delete them. I used to be able to do this in previous versions of Media Player, but this function seems now blocked or unavailable. The problem is this: through previous use of media player, it plays all my multimedia files several times whenever a device support has been added. He would try to save the files on my main drive, but since there is not enough room this would save the files somewhere else. This happened several times, I suppose, because when I upgraded my computer and a media scan was conducted he found duplicates of all my media various times of at least 6-8. I've consolidated since my plates on 3-disc multi to, but have now records duplicated hundreds and thousands of duplicate media files. Previous versions of Media Player would allow me to select all files and then delete them both of the reader, but also from my hard drive. So now I'm stuck with more than 300 GB of duplicate media I have to search line by line through all my hard drives to find each duplicate both, unless I can get media player to do what it can. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. is Windows media player files in double creation during playback of music files?

    To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.

    If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can use the Add to library dialog box to search computer to analyze a file on your computer the duplicate entries not valid-pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.

    Complete the steps above for files that are stored in the hard disks.

    Method 1: Use the add to Library dialog box search for computers

    (a) start Windows Media Player.

    (b) press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

    (c) click the Browse button to locate the folder on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

    If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library. Specify the folder on your computer that corresponds to the path not valid file displayed in your library.

    (d) click on the Search button.

    The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.

    If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by right-clicking on the invalid entry, and then clicking Delete .

    For large double-number of entries in your library (or if all your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library and delete the files.

    Method 2:

    After you remove the duplicate entries, run the troubleshooting of Windows Media Library settings to solve this problem.

    Open the troubleshooter in Windows Media Library

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

    Let us know the results.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for the follow-up.

    Missing in this equation are the Premiere Elements version you were using and the operating system on which it is running. But...

    The Act is accomplished. But... Up to now, and after that you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what Premiere Elements version you were using. We don't yet know the operating system involved.

    You said first Elements 10. First 10 Elements is affected by a problem serious display known if the computer uses an NVIDIA GeForce video/graphics card card. In this issue, the only cure is to roll back the version of the driver about may 2013. The description of the problem and how to make the rear roller are described in one of the messages at the top of this forum. What video/graphics card your computer use?

    On another front, Adobe will release a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. Not one, but Adobe knows the function defined for the new version. This type of information is announced at the time of the release of the new version.

    So the solution to the problem you presented in this thread could have been...

    1 roll back the version of the NVIDIA GeForce driver for all may 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, maybe not possible)

    2. move to a different version of Premiere Elements (which you did)

    I offer the foregoing for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that the first items 12/12.1 works for you.

    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and seek clarification, but do not forget that the answers are in the details.

    Best wishes

  • Cause problem to keep PG and RN files in $JAVA_TOP?

    For simplicity, it is easy to keep PG and RN files in $JAVA_TOP, since I can put everything on the server at the time of time by simply copying the contents of MYCLASSES to JAVA_TOP. Also, I did turn the import XML on the GSP and RNS from this location.

    It causes problems to keep these files in JAVA_TOP? It's the kind of hassle to separate them and sort them in different places.

    Thank you

    I think that you may have about Custom Development.

    It causes problems to keep these files in JAVA_TOP? It's the kind of hassle to separate them and sort them in different places.

    No it should not have any problem. Just after the standard of Oracle and move the PG.xml, RNs.xml in the folder appropriate to top/webui on $JAVA_TOP

  • How to change the directory where the files are placed in other applications to access?

    ESR running on Centos (RedHat) 5 & 6. Because of the way my system is set up, I would change where Firefox updates a file when they need to be accessed by another application (for example, a .doc file). The default is to place them in / tmp, which works for most people, but does not work in my particular installation. (Among the programs that I use to read some files are actually on another computer, but can be started automatically from the computer, I'm browsing). I need to place these files in a network directory, so that the other computer can see.

    I looked into: config, but can't find anything pointing to/tmp. I hope that it is one of these "add a new line to about: config ' things that are supposed to be (from bones), but can be changed if necessary.

    Thank you
    Ted Miller

    You probably can make only by changing the variable of environment TMPDIR = / tmp to point to this network drive.

    You can start Firefox via a script file if you want to do this for all applications.

    #!/bin/sh
    
    export TMPDIR=<path to tmp directory>
    cd <path to Firefox>
    ./firefox

  • Trying to access the files on an external drive. It is denied. Some files are accessable. / problem solved. But please help me learn.

    Hello.

    I use XP Home 32-bit Edition. My a-external hard drive is a Western Digital My Book Essential 1.5 Tb USB2 HARD drive: model number: WDBAAF0015HBK-00.

    I can't access all files on the external hard drive. Currently, I mounted it on a folder. I have some files tif on the external hard drive and wanted to access my photos.

    The message that I had to right click and select open with was "access to C:\(Folder tree) denied." I tried my programs and the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer of image editing. Nothing works.

    When I right click on the images of problem the only options I have are: open, print, edit, Preview, open with, send to. None of these work.

    Some files are not accessible, and others. Unaccessable files do not have a preview image in the window pane (on the lower left side when I'm in the folder).

    This can happen if I didn't 'delete safetly' external hard drive or there was a Brown out? Some of the tif are too long file extensions? Shouldn't windows warn me too long file extensions?

    I consulted the havn't the reader for a while.

    I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files. When I click on a file, and then click file - properties: nothing shows up and he says: size: 0 bytes, size on disk: 0 bytes. But when I click on the file in the folder, it says that it is 23.3 MB. I can move the folder on my desktop.

    When I select all the files and click on file - properties: it is said attributes: read-only and hidden. They are green in box, I have not did those and it does not work. I clicked on Advanced Options, again I had unstapled the ReadOnly and hidden, then I unchecked all 4 options because they were greenboxed too. It's green boxes, not the check marks in both situations. What are the green boxes?

    ______________________________________________________

    Fixed a problem. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it. At this point, I just thought, since I had problems with the music files (mp3 or wav) is too long and is not be able to access or remove them, but I can delete the folders to get rid of them.

    So my question is why am I unable to access the files? This is a limitation of my external hard drive? Can I test or repair? What is this kind of disk with this version of Windows? What is a format? It's NTFS. Computer management indicates that the external drive is healthy.

    It seems that some files are not named as long as others and I could access those. Is there a limit on character/attribution of Tif or all types of files? If so, is it the same? Pourrait - linked to the way in which the external (or internal drive?) is setup in the policies tab? Are each disk different? They seem to be a little more limited than the internal hard drives, but I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the usb2.

    Does anyone know if there is a program or a way to know how many letters or numbers have been used? Microsoft Word and Works a number of words, but Works 9 (I have that) doesn't have a number of letter.

    Contradict you yourself.  At one point, you said:

    > I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files.
    and then you say:
    > A problem fixed. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it.

    This side, the general approach to access in this case is "Ownership" of these files.
    "How appropriate a file or a folder in Windows XP"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421 >

    This probably occurred because the files were created on different computers by users with different Secure ID (SID) or you have reinstalled Windows and files were protected to some extent.  Since you are using XP Home Edition, the only way to see the security settings is to start your computer using safe mode and log in as an administrator.  This will give you access to the 'Security' tab when you right-click on a file and select 'Properties' (as described in the article above).  Apart from connecting with Safe Mode, you can use 'Cacls' command from a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") to view or change permissions on files
