How do I clear recent items from Preview in Lion?

I hate this new version of Preview, the screensaver won't loop, you can't clear the recent images... It is piece of crap software! Go back to Snow Leopard version please!!!

I agree with you guys this is a really irritating feature, can we please revert to the former versions mode of operation or have the option to select it.
Same goes for other apps. If Windoze can give the option to select "classic" Windoze why doesnt Apple provide the same for its clients?

Clear Recent Items from the Dock

When I right click on Preview on the Dock, it shows a list of recently opened files. A friend of mine needs to remove those for some reason..... He tried clicking File>Recent Items>Clear Menu and clicking the Apple Icon>Recent Items>Clear Menu and restarting Preview. This removes Recent Items from the Menu Bar but not from the Dock. Another problem is the last picture that thats open appears when Preview is started. Is it possible to disable this or preferably the entire "Resume" feature of Lion?

This also happened to me and I was going crazy because the items might of been deleted or from a DVD that is no longer mounted. So this is how I solved it.
To summarize, you need to delete or rename some files in your local "Library" directory, ie ~/Library/Preferences directory.
For the iWork apps and Preview. Rename these following files with a "~" in the beginning or delete it or to be safe, copy to another location:
"com.apple.iWork.Keynote.LSSharedFileList.plist" to "~com.apple.iWork.Keynote.LSSharedFileList.plist"
do the same for these files
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.LSSharedFileList.plist
com.apple.iWork.Pages.LSSharedFileList.plist
com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
One way to do it through the GUI is open finder, go to the "Go" menu and press the "option" button.
Choose the Library menu item and open the "Preferences" directory.
Look for the files mentioned above either rename, delete, or move.
Close the application and see if the recent items still appear when you right mouse click the icon in the Dock.
If that doesn't work, then logout and log back in.
Hope this helps or solves your issue.
I just used this to delete the recenttly opened items on Quicktime that appeared on the dock even though the 'Recently Opened' folder frm the Menu was empty. It worked like a charm.
Now I still need to quit the Application after deleting the 'Recently Opened' on the Menu bar in order to make the dock recently opened disappear as well, but it works!

How do I clear recent searches from Safari?

When I type www in the search bar of safari, a list of address that I visited before will disappear. How do I clear this recent searches from Safari?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply!
Yes! I already turn off the autofill. But the list still come out when I typing in the search bar.

Hi Kenny,
Re: Turning off autofill in the
address field...
The alternative to that is to clear your history and
clean up your bookmarks to remove any entries that
you no longer use (Safari uses both to check for url
autofill items).

How do i clear recent item list?

It is surprising that i am not able to clear the recent item list. If there is a quick way to do it, please let me know.

Thanks!
There is a C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64\utils\CleanPreferencesWin.bat
This clears everything nicely.

Clear recent items is broken in 10.8 (major privacy issue!)

Clearing recent items is now completely broken under Mountain Lion.
Try this experiment:
1. Open an image in Preview.app.
2. File > Open Recent > Clear Menu
So is it gone now? No!!! They are not gone. You can still see what somebody previous viewed in that app by going to one of 2 places:
1. Right-click the app's icon in the Dock and recent items are ALWAYS there, never cleared.
2. Use Mission Control to view Application Windows and you still see recent items at the bottom of your screen.
Previously in Lion, this occured, but there was a workaround that involved clearing recent items, quitting the app, then relaunching the app, then the recent stuff wouldn't be visible anywhere. This workaround no longer works.
If you need to be guarenteed privacy with certain images like confidential bussiness documents, any embaressing photos or dirty pictures, do NOT upgrade to Mountain Lion because it will show those to anyone who happens to be nearby when you use Expose / Mission Control and you will not be able to work around it anymore.
If by chance this is not a bug and was intended behavior, tell Apple to stop it (or find yourself a new operating sytem that doesn't violate privacy.)

First, in response to Adrian Clarke's suggesetion of clearing the system-wide recents and that didn't work for me, but thanks.
Regardless, I think I found a permenant solution for Preview (but not TextEdit).
1. Go into ~/Library/Preferences
2. Search the folder for the phrase "Preview"
3. The first time I did the search, I found 3 or 4 things related to Apple's Preview application. I deleted them all.
4. Go to Terminal and type "killall Dock"
NOTE: Under Mountain Lion it appears (to me at least) the old "killall Dock" command does not always make the Dock relaunch automatically as it did in previous versions of OS X, so you might have to logout/login as well.
Going back to look at them again hours later, not all the files have rebounded or been recreated. So I can't tell you all their names exactly. I can only tell you the names of the files that get remade, which again isn't all the files that I deleted.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList .plist
Again, the paths of the other files are lost since I didn't note them before deleting them, but just search your Preferences folder for "Preview".
Now TextEdit was exhibiting the same undesierable behavior as well, so I tried doing the same for TextEdit: Search preferences and deleting anything related to it.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.LSSharedFileList.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.plist.L2YUl2h
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileLis t.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileLis t.plist.lockfile
After deleting them all and using TextEdit for a bit, the only files that rebounded were:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.LSSharedFileList.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileLis t.plist
But does it work on TextEdit? Sorta but not really. It works until you perform a reboot, then the old problem returns, afflicting TextEdit again. But Preview continues to behave correctly after a reboot. Why these results are so inconsitent is truly confusing. I suspect there's a bug (or multiple bugs). If anybody can offer a solution for TextEdit, I'd be very appreciative. In the meantime, if this bug affects you, maybe consider switching from TextEdit to another app until this gets fixed.

How to set an Application Item from PL/SQL

I am attempting to set an Application Item
After login to my app, I want to retrieve a row from my SETTINGS table and populate some Application Items with the settings information so that I can
display some of that settings information on every page.
Just to start, I created one Application Item named F106_YEAR
I then created a Shared Components Application Process which executes on New Session: After Authentication
I created this process as an Anynomous PL/SQL block.
declare
aucyr varchar(4);
begin
select year into auctyr
from settings;
:F106_YEAR := aucyr;
end;
I've tried a couple of other Syntax tricks attempting to reference the Application Item F106_YEAR from within PL/SQL (like V('F106_YEAR') but nothing seems to be working.
I'm sure that I am missing something simple. Can someone tell me how to set an Application Item from PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance.

I'm still doing something wrong because this is not working for me.
I've tried both of the following versions as an Application Process set to run on New Session after Authentication:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
:F106_AUCTION_YEAR:=auction_year;
end;
and I also tried:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE (p_name, p_value);
end;
F106_YEAR is a global Item (shared components).
The select statement works just fine in SQL*PLUS so I know that it is correct.
If I run the debugger and log into the application, here is the output. Shouldn't I see my Application Process get called if it is set to run on New Session after Validation?

Another modif tcode clearing open item from MM without use F-51

all Guru ,
Please help. Is there any way for another new modif tcode clearing open item from MM without use F-51. So i can use copy transparent from main table MM, for item like plant, vendor, material,price, oty, plus add new field for calculation method in order to post this result formula through FI posting without F-51 but also can clear open item dan clearing line item ? or only can clear open item ? ...it's oke. For line item can be done maybe can be run with F-03 ir F13E
I am trying to observe table BSIK (open item) and relation with BSAK(clear item)...is it right way ?
Case :
i want to clear open item for GL account inv.of.promises from transaction MM, with jurnal :
inv.of prom (Db)
         Inventory (Cr)
Then this inv.of prom must be calculated again with raise price. And then this cummulate in the of month.
After that we want to clear with posting FI by searching any open item for that GL with jurnal :
       Other receiv.(Db)
       Accrued exp (Db)
                  Inv.of.prom (Cr)

Hi PK,
1. Should we maintain OIM for all Excise G/Ls (BED, ECess, SHECess)?
- Please DO NOT maintain OIM on BED, ECESS and HECESS, only to be maintained for Cenvat Clearing Account. Also note that clearing of Cenvat Clearing is not easy, as in standard SAP, the assignment field is not updated with the same information for the Dr. and cr. line items of Cenvat Clearing Account. You need to use an exit in Substitution for it to populate the P.O. no. and line item at the time of MIRO.
2. How to clear the BED Excise GLs which is with OIM in our system, it is thru F.13 only?
You can use F.13 only if the entries are matching not otherwise, else clear all of them manually if you have good control of your account balances.
3. Can we activate or deactivate OIM any point of time, I mean can it be activated in case the G/L balance amount is not ZERO?
OIM activation for a GL - Refer Note No.1356457.
OIM Deactivation : You can deactivate OIM after making the balance Zero on that Account and by changing the Message No. FH 190 to warning in OBA5.
4. What is the use of T Code J2IUN, I have gone thru the SDN links, but I am not able to execute the screen. What parameter should we select while executing J2IUN, when we use Pay cenvat from ser tax cr and Pay ser tax from cenvat cr.
J2IUN is to utllize Excise Duty. The liability of Excise duty is utilized from Excise balances of BED, PLA , Service tax etc.. as per business requirements.
Hope this helps you.

How to delete a line item from the sales order

Hi all,
how to delete a line item from the sales order for which the production is already happened and it has been delivered. the production order status is DLV.
Regards
Kumar

Hi
U can do this in two ways one u can short close the order by entering Reason for rejection in VA02 at header level and if yr order is multiple line item order u can enter the reason for rejection in any of the line item which u don't want to deliver.
This is called short close ( as the qty is not delivered fully).
Thx.

How to delete the line item from a sales order

Hi all,
how to delete a line item from the sales order for which the production is already happened and it has been delivered. the production order status is DLV.
Regards
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
I think you can just delete it in the sales order directly, if you are using make-to-order scenario, then there will be special stock left for the sales order as the production has been goods receipt, you need to use MM transaction move the stock to unrestricted use stock. If you are using make-to-stock scenario, there should be no further problem. If you are using assembly order, please try to reject the sales order item to see if it could fullfill your requirement.

One usually large user of storage space is photos and videos. You could import them to a computer and then delete them from the iPad: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
You can also go to Settings > General > Usage and click on "Manage Storage" (in the Storage section, not the iCloud section) and that will show what is using the storage and may help you decide if you want to delete some apps or something else.
