You mean the /Users/Shared/SC Info?

This is installed with iTunes 7. I don't know exactly what it is. It may be the key to your iTunes purchased music. I'm not sure.

You can't delete, copy, or modify it though. At least not normally.

I'm not sure that it comes with IT7. I have v7, and purchased music on two machines, and have no such file or folder.

The file is there. You can only see it in the Terminal.app program. Not from the Finder.

The SC Info.sidb file, stores your authorization info.

I don't know what the SC Info.sidd file does.

What kind of authorization? Why would it be in the Shared folder? Do you know where I might find the use/reason of the SC Info.sidd file.

thanks for you time and help.

The SC info.sidb file stores your iTunes authorization. My guess is the SC info.sidd stores something related to iTunes.

You could google it or call Apple's tech support for more information.
