* | *When Mac OS X touches files that are saved on a non-Mac-formatted drive it will save metadata in what are often called AppleDouble files. ''On a native Mac formatted drive (HFS+) the metadata is written in such a way that it does not create these files, which is why you don't see them there.'' | ||
*Normally these files appear invisible on some computers, but will still get picked up by some programs such as XBMC. | |||
*You can prevent Mac OS X from creating these files on a network share by using a program such as [http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html TinkerTool] or by opening Terminal.app and running the following command: <pre>defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true</pre> | |||
*To remove the files you need to make them visible (again, you can use TinkerTool to make them visible, but remember to re-enable invisible files afterwards to protect certain system files) and drag them to the trash can and delete them. | |||
