Can I safely move to Trash all downloaded files from Downloads folder, for the purpose of freeing up storage space?

My Downloads folder has reached 30GB. I am not sure why I keep adding files without ever cleaning up what's there. As a matter of fact, what's there can easily be re-downloaded from the web in case of need.
Can I safely trash 100% of the content of my Downloads Folder?

They're your files, so it's up to you whether to delete them or not. I personally don't tend to keep downloads if they are easily re-downloaded. (An exception might be a large download that for some reason may need to be reinstalled.)

Just drag the file from the Download folder to the folder of your choice in Finder. If you are using Safari you can designate a new default download destination in Safari>Preferences>General tab, 'Save Downloads to...'. Other browsers should have a similar option in their preferences.

How can I control a mac mini connected to a benchmark dac 2 for the purpose of listening to 24/192 audio files?

How can I control a mac mini connected by USB to a Benchmark DAC 2 for the purpose of listening to 24/192 music downloads?

Hello,
About the dac 1, but may apply to the dac 2 as well in some ways...
Here are more details:
1) The current version of iTunes (7.5) for OSX is very broken. Some older versions work properly, but 7.5 introduces truncation and DSP artifacts that can measure as high as –80dBFS. These levels are easily audible. There is no system configuration that will permit transparent playback from 44.1kHz sources with iTunes 7.5. Curiously, the only format that works properly in 7.5 is 24-bit/96kHz. This iTunes problem has nothing to do with USB communications, as the results are the same when using the built-in optical port on our PowerBooks. As a workaround, we suggest using the free VLC for Mac player. VLC works perfectly with all formats (provided OSX is set to match the sample rate of the files being played). We highly recommend the VLC player for OSX users, and strongly advise against using iTunes. We will attempt to identify which versions of iTunes work and which ones don't. But beware, iTunes updates itself without user intervention. One of our test computers "upgraded" itself to the dysfunctional iTunes 7.5.
2) OSX still does not have the ability to follow sample-rate changes. We consider this a nuisance for most users and a show-stopper for users who want to play a mixed list of 44.1kHz and 96kHz material. An OSX sample-rate mismatch will invoke the very-poor-quality sample-rate conversion that is built into OSX. The iTunes 7.5 bug seems to be locking on this sample-rate conversion at all sample rates other than 96kHz. Until this is fixed, OSX is not the operating system of choice for audio playback.

How to get all image files from a folder to wwv_flow_files?

Hi there!
Is it possible in apex to show, in a report look-a-like, all image filenames from a folder in another machine (i enter in that machine by ip) and insert all files into wwv_flow_files?
I want to see all files, then pick one and open a image...
But it can't be by browse item... it has to show all filenames as a list...
If it is possible, how can i do it?
Thanks!
Best regards,

Hi,
you can connect to the server using UTL_HTTP.
Then for each files you copy the response into a BLOB to be able to show it or to store it in a table.
A piece of code :
begin
   -- initialize the BLOB.
   dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, false);
   -- path to the file
   l_url := 'http://your_server/your_file.jpg';
   -- begin retrieving the target.
   l_req := utl_http.begin_request(l_url);
   -- identify ourselves (some sites serve special pages for particular browsers)
   utl_http.set_header(l_req, 'User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0');
   -- start receiving the response.
   l_resp := utl_http.get_response(l_req);
   -- copy the response into the BLOB.
   begin
      loop
         utl_http.read_raw(l_resp, l_raw, 32767);
         dbms_lob.writeappend (l_blob, utl_raw.length(l_raw), l_raw);
      end loop;
      -- stop when exception end_of_body is raised
   exception
      when utl_http.end_of_body then
         utl_http.end_response(l_resp);
   end;
end;It's a minimal example, you may need authentication, check l_resp.status_code, etc...

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server

Hello,
I'm curious if there is a batch file that can be made to move the contents that are setup like this....
I'm having to redo a TS cluster and I'd like to make a batch file script that can be executed that moves the contents of say 'jsmith's local desktop profile @ \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith to a centralized folder on our roaming desktop profile server that saves
all of the files for the desktops @ \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith.
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then
next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and
have all of the files they are used to having....
Now I know I can do this with a MOVE command I've just never done one to this exact.
Hopefully someone knows the command to move all the contents of one folder on one server to the folder on a different server. I've already got the bulk of the coding done of the .bat script I just don't know this move command:
would it be this:
move \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith *.* \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith
any help would be appreciated, I'm sure this is a easy command to do!
This is the coding I have so far....
@echo off

In Windows we would do this using Group Policy. There is a Policy setting that csn move the Desktop folder to any server you want to move it to. Once set it will automatically do this for you.
You should post in the Group Policy forum to find out how we use Group Policy to manage users profiles in Windows.
You cannot use a script to relocate a users Desktop folder. The desktop is locked by the time the users logon script is finished running. It the desktop and profile are already being managed by Group Policy then this can only be done with GP.
There are also numerous issues associated with deployment and re-deployment that you need to address Post your questions in the Winows Deployment forum to get assistance with deployment issues.
Again - want you are asking is not generally possible because of how Windows is designed. This would only likely work on a simple system or on a stand alone PC and then only under a very limited set of circumstances.
Use GP folder redirection to do this. For deployment use Deployment Forum and for TS specific issues post in the RDS forum.
All of this needs to be considered correctly for TS users inn a TS Cluster environment. (TS Cluster?? - not sure what you mean by that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

Hello,
I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having....
So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
each user or if I have to d this on per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

Hi Trevor,
To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
[Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Configuring Folder Redirection

Hope it helps.

I want to open an excel file from a folder in the Microsoft live office on Hotmail. Their instruction is to go to tools in Firefox, go to plug-ins and then install Microsofts Office 2010. Can't find plug-h. Help?

I have uploaded an excel file from my desk top to the Windows Live (HOTMAIL?) office suite. When I try to open the file I get an error that says my system is not supported. My system passes all of the listed criteria except for one. That is a plug in from Firefox. The instructions say to go to the Firefox menu, click on tools then plug-ins. Of course when I go to tools plug-ins is not immediately available, but when I do go to plug-ins, I am to click on Microsoft Office 2010. This plug in is supposed to allow earlier versions of office documents to be viewed as well as Office 2010. The plug-in is not available. When I search the Firefox website I am not able to find such a plug-in.
I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox prior to V4. V4 does not support all of my e-mail clients so am not able to use V4.

I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox V4 but I have this same problem.

Downloading files from filesharing sites causes the Android market to force close.

yes i am having that problem too, but i do not know how to fix it either

How do I force a file download from a folder above the root?

I am new to ColdFusion and need some help. I set up a virtual folder on my website and then mapped in the CF9 admin panel to a "Docs" folder above my root, where I would like to store sensitive documents. CF tags are enabled.
I know that my mapping is set up correctly, because when I set up a cfm page with the following code, I can successfully download the file:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=Calendar.pdf">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf file=/Docs/Calendar.pdf">
But what I need is to create one cfm age that will be able to handle downloads of multiple files types and names from the folder above my root.
I then found Duke Snyder's solution on an older forum for the "click link and download file" question where he suggests making a "download.cfm" page with the following code: I did this, and named the file "download.cfm"
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=""#Url.FileName#""">
<cfcontent type = "foo/bar" file = "/Docs/#Url.FileName#">
Then Duke suggests: "Now I pass the FileName through the Url and it WILL ask if you want to open or download the file. We accomplish this by making up an eronious file type."
I then set up a password-protected page on the site that lists the titles of a number of documents, with links to the virtual folder, where they can be downloaded. One of the links, which goes to "Calendar.pdf" I constructed as: "download.cfm?FileName=Calendar.pdf" When I click on the link, I get the popup box that says "Do you want to open or save this file? With the name listed as: "download.cfm?Filename=Calendar_pdf"
When I click "Save", I get the message: "Internet Explorer cannot download download.cfm from www.... Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
I must have constructed the link incorrectly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

I am trying to force the download of pdf files from a folder above the root. The file below is named "download.cfm" I pass the name of the file (Calendar.pdf) in the URL link, as follows: download.cfm?filename=Calender.pdf
In the ColdFusion admin panel, I mapped a folder in the root "Docs" to point to a folder with a different name above the root. I have tried the code below, which was generously supplied by another member of this forum, but it does not seem to recognize the CF mapping. Do I need to use another CF Tag for the mapping to working correctly?
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=""#Url.FileName#""">
<cfcontent type = "application/pdf" file = "/Docs/#Url.FileName#">
Thanks for your help

Error occurred while downloading files from Administration Server...

Hi guys,
If i already have my application deployed and exploded in ../tmp/_WL_user , when I restart the managed server it will try to download again the files from the upload directory in the Administration Servers? (I'm using stage mode).
Sometimes I got the following error:
Caused By: java.io.IOException: [DeploymentService:290066]Error occurred while downloading files from Administration Server for deployment request "0". Underlying error is: "null"
and I already have the war exploded in /tmp/_WL_user
the staging mode is not only for the first deployment? when i don't have the war exploded in /tmp/_WL_user?
I've some confusion related to the process or deployment/startup of the managed servers.
Thanks

Hi,
when you get following error * DeploymentService:290066 * then that means
A service on the machine is preventing the WebLogic Server remote instance from downloading the configuration file. This can be Hosts Intrusion Prevention (HIPS) agents or any other agent causing this issue.
Disable the agent interfering with the download process to fix this issue.

Kal

I can't download files or videos, I get the response "The object is blocked" As far as I know I have removed or disabled all security programs

I am unable to play streaming video, and can't download anything. I have removed or disabled all of my security programs.

Every time Firefox opened

HI Phillip,
On the other I am wholly unable to download the file from either Safari or Firefox
Let's try one browser at a time. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder then the Safari folder. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Now launch Firefox. From the Firefox menu bar click Firefox / Preferences then select the
Advanced tab then the Network tab. Click: Clear Now.
Relaunch Firefox.
If nothing above has helped either browser, login to your Mac to another user account. Try Safari there. If you can't download files from Safari there, then it's a system wide problem. Boot from your install disc. Run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair any errors on the startup disk.

I downloaded Yosemite OS X and when I try to select my HD (the disk) where I want to install it, the hard drive doesn't have enough space. What can I do and still have all my files? I haven't backed up...

I downloaded Yosemite OS X and when I try to select my HD (the disk) where I want to install it, the hard drive doesn't have enough space. I have a MacBook Pro bought in 2008. What can I do and still have all my files? I haven't backed up...

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
I recommend that you also make a backup before proceeding. Just quit the installer.

HT1229 How can I safely move iPhoto Library to Amazon Cloud?

I have over 30,000 pictures in my iPhoto Library. With iPhoto being retired, and currently crashes when I try to edit photos, I am afraid I may lose the entire library.
Can I safely move all pix, including all data and masters to my Amazon Prime Cloud?

But I still think it's pretty lame of Apple to have a photo library that hates everyone else's cloud backup,
That's not quite accurate. The problem isn't that iPhoto hates these services, it's that these services use disks that are not formatted appropriately for the database - and that's not only iPhoto, but any complex database. Mostly, these servers run a version of Linux and the data structures are different. Fine for a file, but not for a complex data ecosystem. So you would not use these for Lightroom libraries, DevonThink libraries and so on - nor indeed, Windows apps with complex data structures.

Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem. My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section. Their solution: Open files with previous version of Word.

Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.
