How to delete un-needed Lion install files

To recover some extra disk space I am wondering if there are any temporary install files that I can now safely remove. I did a google search and wasn't able to find anything. Maybe the Lion install software already cleaned up as part of the process?
Thanks!

I used Monolingual and deleted unwanted Languages, Architectures & Input methods and free up 1.3 - 1.7GB.
The I deleted unwanted print drivers and got back about 600MB
Regards,
Shawn

How to delete the specified line in file?

How to delete the specified line in file? In case of deleting a specified line in a file, how to do?
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5
The case is a file including the above content. Now I wanna to delete the "Line 3" and how to realize the action in Java?

An alternative solution can be :
import java.io.LineNumberReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
public class LineDeleter {
public static void main(String args[]){
try {
//suppose you want to delete line 3
     int lineToBeDeleted = 3;
     File f = new File("line.txt");
     long fileSize = f.length();
//Wrap the FileReader with a LineNumberReader. It will help you
//identify the lines.
LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader( new FileReader(f));
//Wrap the FileWriter object with BufferedWriter object. Create it with the buffersize
//equal to the file size.
     BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new File("line1.txt")),(int)fileSize);
//Wrap BufferedWriter object with PrintWriter so that it allows you
//to print line by line
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(bw);
     String s=null;
     while ( (s=lnr.readLine())!=null ){
          System.out.println(s);
          int lineNumber = lnr.getLineNumber();
//match the line number
          if(! (lineNumber==lineToBeDeleted)){
               pw.println(s);
          pw.flush();
          lnr.close();
          pw.close();
     catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
If you want you can rename the line1.txt to the original file name.
I hope this helps.Good luck!!!!!!

How to delete pages in a pdf file with mac OSX Mavericks?

Indeed i don't have Pages options in my tools window... Is that normal for the mac version? Please it's urgent...

Sorry, it was my fault. When I searched on the Internet, I was reading the Acrobat help pages, without knowing it, because in my research I wrote "how to delete pages in a pdf file with Adobe reader", i was just automatically redirected toward Acrobat help but i didn't notice.
So no incorrect information exist in the Reader Help pages.

How to delete Safari in Lion

how to delete to clear tabula and reinstall in Lion?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

How to delete multiple old ITUNES LIBRARY files safely ?

I'd like to clean up my Itunes LIBRARY files, but don't know what's safe to do and not to do. (I have Itunes 8.1 / OSX10.4.11)
MY QUESTION IS TWOFOLD :
(1) how do I create a new Itunes library file now with today's date; and
(2) how do I delete multiple (old) Itunes library files, without risking the loss of what I've got ?
This all stems from exploring Itunes as a result of a problem I had today... when trying to import mp3's from my terrabyte drive, after about 150 successful mp3 track imports, Itunes froze and everything else on my MAC froze as well (constant spinning colored wheel). After many failed attempts to force quit Itunes, I turned off my MBPro. On restarting, Itunes tooks ages to "import" files. Eventually Itunes opened but with only half of my original tunes (1500+ songs 8.11GB) and had nothing from today's import.
I found a post suggesting to hold down OPTION while starting Itunes. Then I selected a file from my hard drive > me > music > Itunes > "Itune library" with the most recent date and shezam, Itunes once again has all my songs, as before. Nothing I imported from the terrabyte drive today appears however, but no matter.
In my "Itunes" file there appear MULTIPLE Itunes libraries ! such as Itunes library, Itunes Library (damaged), and as well a folder called "Previous Itunes Libraries" which itself contains multiple Itunes Library files and multiple "previous Itunes Library files" with dates back to 2007. These I want to clean up and delete .... should I ? ... Can I ?
I really could use some words of wisdom from the wise ! Thanks in advance

Whenever you install a new version of iTunes and run it teh first time, iTunes will create a backup of the current iTunes library file and copy it into \Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes libraries, then update the iTunes library file in \Music\iTunes\ for the current version of iTunes.

Incorrect Apple ID in App Store / How to do a fresh Lion install

I'm trying to redownload the OSX Lion Install App. I held the Option key when clicking purchases and instead of saying "Installed", it now says "Download". However, even though I'm signed into the App Store with my personal Apple ID, it asks me to authenticate but defaults to another apple ID of a person I don't know.
I purchased Lion when it came out as an upgrade, so I don't understand why it won't authenticate. When I delete the incorrect Apple ID and enter my own, I get this unknown error box: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s14/sh/777881b0-45fc-4773-8f54-eb5f00c31646/d54b1d 60dc9d1ad581629c56e50b5fe0
"Unknown Error"
That error is followed by this one: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s14/sh/97428d42-fdec-401c-8199-79cc99cbbb57/ff3791 6bdafb4add24123f522b16b3ed
"we could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
In reality, I'm simply trying to wipe the hard drive clean as I sold this macbook air on ebay and want to deliver it as a fresh install. But when I use the reocovery partition to reinstall Lion, it forces me to connect to the internet and automatically imports all of my user data, which defeats the point!
Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have an old .mac iTunes account, it cannot be deleted, I use my new mobileme/iCloud account.
Both passwords are the same so it's easy to switch if any older Apps etc.. need updating..

How to delete the record in the file present in the application server?

Hi,
I have two questions.
i) How can I delete a record based on some condition in the recordx in the file that is present in the application server?
ii) How can I lock the users whiel one user is accessing the file on the application server?
Thanks in advance.
Suvan

Hi,
If u want a frequent deletion this approach to delete a record from a file will havee unnecesary copy of records from one file to another and deletion of one file and renaming activities.
Instead what u can do is Add and field del_flag to ur record structure.
If u want to delete the record from a file just mark this del_flag as 'X'.
While processing u can have a loop like
loop at it_XXX where del_flag <> 'X'.
endloop.
This will logically delete the record.
When u r to finish the application at that time only perform this copying / deleting / and renaing activity
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Nitin

The Firefox spell checker has the option for me to add custom words to the dicionary. Please tell me how to delete a word from this file of custom words because a mispelled word got in there by mistake.

I want to know how to delete words from the custom dictionary in the spell checker that I put there by mistake.

In your profile directory, the file is '''persdict.dat''' and you should know how to get to your profile. One way is to enter '''about:support''' in the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder". Or go through the Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > ...
You can edit with wordpad, or notepad++, but not with notepad,
because there is one word per line and you will not see that in notepad after Firefox has updated it.  Update after closing Firefox.
I will have to change my Spell Check documentation to not suggest notepad

How are applications handles when Lion installed?

How are applications handled when Lion is installed?
1) Are the standard (i.e. App store, phone booth, iPhoto, iCal, etc) automatically reinstalled?
2) How is iTunes handled? iMovie?
3) How is Mail handled? Will it automatically reinstall my Contacts, Mail folders with all of my saved emails?
4) How are 3rd party Apps handled that are located in the Application folder? in a separately created foldeer?
5) How is Time Machine handled? with all of its past backups?
Thanks

If you install over Snow Leopard, you'll get new default Apple apps.
iLife, iWork, and 3rd-party apps wont be disturbed (although PPC apps will no longer work).
Mail will be updated, your stuff will be covered..
Time Machine just continues on.
By all means, back up first, just in case something goes wrong.

Mani

> thanks for ur prompt reply, i read that i need to install Ehp 1 for netweaver 7.0 for atleast AS Abap.
No - EHP1 for Netweaver 7.00 is included in EHP4 for ERP 6.0.
EHP1 for Netweaver cannot be installed on ERP 6.0.
I know, this is all VERY confusing.
> for ur information i have 64 bit OS(windows server 2003).
good!
> can you tell me where to check netweaver package level in SAP i am pretty much sure its 7.0.
ERP 6.0 is based on Netweaver 7.0 (System - Status - check component SAP_BASIS).
