10.6 - Can't Delete Share Point Folders

Hello Everyone. I am using Mac OS X Server, version 1.6 "hosted" by GoDaddy, so I don't have access to the Finder window to access files directly. All of my access has to be through Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, or an FTP client (in my case, Filezilla).
I am trying to find a way to delete share point folders, but have not been able to find any method other than using the Finder, which I do not have access to.
Any help, guidance, help would be greatly appreciated please.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi
+"I am using Mac OS X Server, version 1.6 "hosted" by GoDaddy"+
What does this mean exactly? Is the Server at GoDaddy's offices and behind their firewall or do you mean the domain is with GoDaddy? Every OSX Server installation enables ssh and by default. If the Server is at a location and a network environment you're familiar with and assuming NAT and you're trying to do this remotely, simply open the relevant ports in the Firewall to forward external access to the Server's private IP address.
With Remote Management you have access to the Finder.
If the Server is using a Public IP address (unless you're aware of the risks I would not recommend this) then either establish an ssh or vnc connection. If you're going to attempt ssh you should be familiar with the command line. If this is not to your taste use vnc instead.

Can I delete the files/folders in 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup'?

Hi!
I have just tried to backup and update my iphone to iOS 5.1. The backup seems to have worked but when it came to restoring the iphone, I think the hard disk ran out of space and so it failed. I saw this and so I freed up around 3Gb of disk space and I tried it again. It again failed. Again I noticed that there was no space left on the hard disk. I assumed that to continue the restore it probably won't need that much more space (as it had already done most of the work) so I freed up a few more Gb.
Again it failed. When it fails, itunes leaves the partially restored elements on my hard disk meaning that my 'Apple Computer' folder is now 28Gb!! I cannot afford to delete anything else from the hard disk. I am using a PC by the way. I have noticed that in the folder 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup' has 5 folders in it which is the same amount that I tried to restore the iphone (before the last restore attempt there were 4 folders). These folders amount to 20Gb. From this I am assuming that the actual backup that I made is infact in 'Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Backups'.
Can I delete the folders in 'MobileSync\Backup'? This would free up 20Gb of disk space giving me enough to properly restore (in theory!).
Thanks for your time!!
Nick

your advice worked for me and saved me what ever evil lurked behind my thought to just delete the backup and get back my very lmited space on my 250GB Mackbook Pro using daisydisk pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/daisydisk/id411643860?mt=12
Why DaisyDisk?
DaisyDisk remains the tool of choice for film makers (including companies like Pixar), digital artists, IT professionals and hundreds of thousands of Mac users worldwide when it comes to disk space management. Constantly improving since its initial introduction, the app easily blows away competition in terms of speed, efficiency and user experience.

Delete iOS backups this way: iTunes>Preferences>Devices...select the backup/backups...hit delete. Do not mess with your backup folder.

If you start deleting things in hidden system folders, or in an /Library folder you may very well mess up something.
That is why I say limit what you delete to your User folder only and only those files you've put or created there. Start messing with anything system or application related without know exactly what you are doing and you risk fubar'ing something.
There are in fact many places in the system areas that will appear to be redundant, but they are not so just because they have similar path or file names.
Also, how much free space do you have with just a freshly rebooted system? If your system does not have much RAM (given the apps your normally run on it), it may be creating quite a bit of swap space. That will be flushed out with a reboot, but if your system is RAM limited, then it will just grow back. In such a case, more RAM would help.
Use Activity Monitor to look at your RAM and swap use over a few days of normal use - look particularly at the page outs, as that will tell you how much virtual memory is actually being used on the drive. If page outs are high (thousands to 10's of thousands or more) your system is RAM limited, and your drive will be filling up with swap files.

How i can see the share point of any Group ?

Hi everybody !
First, sorry for my bad english…
I wish to see everybody Share Points affected on a Group.
It's possible ?

Hi Gilles,
Thank you very much for your pointing and suggestion and I am sorry for my delay response.
I understand there are two kind of CLI on CSM depend on using CSM mode or RP mode.
- show command begins with "show ip slb" when using CSM mode (ip slb mode csm)
- show command begins with "show mode csm x" when using RP mode (ip slb mode rp)
And "show mod csm x sticky config" command can be done on RP mode only.
So I tried to "show ip slb sticky config" command on CSM mode, but I could not find
"config" argument as follows,
ct65svf1#sh ip slb sticky ?
client sticky associated with a specific client IP address
groups list configured sticky groups
| Output modifiers
ct65svf1#sh ip slb sticky
So I think, on CSM mode, I can not calculate the amount of sticky entry by executing one
show command.
Is my understanding correct ?
Best regards,

Can't remove share points once created in admin tool

I created share points using the Workgroup Manager according to the instructions found in the documentation. I am unable to remove them from the "Sharing/All list in the manager even after I uncheck the "Share this item and its contents" option as found in the documentation. I have checked for the "no change" toggle on the directories but that isn't the issue.
Any help would be appreciated!
Xserve Intel Mac OS X Server (10.4.8)

Unchecking "Share this item and its contents" and saving changes should remove the SharePoints from the list.
You can double-check this by opening NetInfo Manager and looking into the directory config/SharePoints of your local NetInfo Domain. That's where sharepoints are stored (at least until 10.5).

Can't delete baggage files/folders

Running robohelp x3, I've somehow generated files in my
baggage files that I can't delete. They are missing files (since I
didn't create them in the first place) and I can't delete their
reference or (because they are referenced) the folder it's in. I
think I might have edited a file within the generated set of files
instead of my master set, but I can't seem to fix it. These are the
files that I can't delete:
whmsg.js
whproxy.js
whtopic.js
whutils.js
whver.js
How do I get rid of these?

Can't mount share points over VPN after moving server

I'm tearing my hair out over this one. We have a server that was located in our office. I just moved it downtown to a colo center (no longer in office) and set up VPN access.
However, nobody is able to mount the server share points, even though the connection to the VPN seems to work fine (e.g.: I choose "connect to L2TP..." and it connects, VPN icon shows I am online with the server).
Any attempt to mount a share point fails. I've tried using afp://servername.com and I've tried afp://64.xx.xx.xx (where that's the machine's public IP address). Am I supposed to use a different address (such as an internal 192 address that works over the VPN) or should I be able to mount the afp point using the server public domain name? Should I try NFS?
Any help would be appreciated -- really need to get access to this system's files again! Thank you!

And does anyone know which IP you enter for your sites in the web service? The public static IP or the internal private static IP?
For the external DNS server I am sure you have already deduced that it should be the static IP issued you by Comcast and this will be forwarded by your router to your server.
For your internal DNS server you could use either the internal LAN IP, or the external IP although the later might be affected by your firewall so this you will need to test.
For the Web Server service in Server admin, if your only running a single website you could avoid the issue by just using the wildcard entry which will respond to any IP address, so this would be an empty host name and an IP address of *
In fact you don't have to specify an IP address you could just use the hostname, so it will listen to traffic arriving at your server addressed to any IP address and as long as the URL that was requested includes the hostname you define for the site it will get responded to. So if as an example you have two websites you want to serve
www.example.com
site2.example.com
then as long as both have the IP address for the site as an * (asterisk) then both should work as separate sites for traffic addressed to either the LAN or WAN IP address of the server.
You will still need to use two IP addresses on the server to enable VPN, you could use a USB Ethernet adapter for the second one. Port forwarding for VPN is not as simple as other traffic as VPN requires traffic different to the standard IP and UDP packets. Routers that support 'VPN Passthrough' are specifically designed to accomodate this but I don't know if the AirPort Extreme does this. I have also found PPTP copes better with this sort of setup than L2TP although PPTP is generally regarded as less secure.

Help! I can't delete anchor points with the Delete Anchor Point Tool

I have a shape in illustrator CS6 that I'm trying to edit. When I try to click on a point with the Delete Anchor Point Tool nothing happens however I am able to select the point using the Direct Selection Tool and then remove it using the "Remove selected anchor points" option in the Control palette. Same issue with trying to use the Convert Anchor Point Tool.
Any ideas what's going wrong here?

Another thought. If there are multiple nodes in that one spot, you may have to use the remove anchor point repeatedly to get rid of them all. It looks like you deleted the point and nothing happens, but really you are just seeing another node that was very close to the one you just deleted.
If you select drag over them with the white arrow tool and choose remove anchor points it will remove them all at once.

Can't delete or rename folders when I FTP

Hi
Hope someone can help me with this!!
When I connect to a webserver using FTP with dreamweaver, it
won't let me delete or rename any folders.
It's nothing to do with the persmissions becasue the user has
full permissions and can delete or rename when I FTP using a
different client. Any ideas?? Is there a setting that I am
missing??
Thanks in advace for any help

Do you run a mac?
I had this problem at the last company that I worked for. I
was on a Mac
then; not sure if that had anything to do with the problem.
I could sometimes connect with Dreamweaver but I could always
connect with
another ftp client. At one point, when the problems started,
I used
Dreamweaver to rename folders on the server. Instead of
creating them on my
own system, I created files and renamed folder directly on
the server
through DW. After that, I had problems. At one point, all the
files got
changed so that they were locked down.
Occasionally, I thought I isolated the problem. At times,
recreating the
entire site worked. At other times, it helped for the server
to be rebooted.
At times I thought it was because of the firewall or content
filter that was
doing it. I think it was a Windows Server that I had the
problems with. I
don't remember if the other servers gave me problems.
I never really resolved it. Now I'm at a different job and I
have but a
passing interest in what it might be.
Sorry I don't have anything solid.

Can't delete iPhone Picture folders!?

I went from a 3gs to a 4s. Well when I had my 3GS I would plug it into my computer and go to My Computer, I would then click on my Iphone under Portable Devices, and it brings me to the DCIM folder for my pictures. Well when It was on my 3GS it was just one folder, so when I went to that folder I knew the last picture I took would be the last picture in the folder.
Well now with my 4S, my images are saved in random folders, and when I go to get my new images off my phone I have to search through 6-8 different folders as they are all scattered about. I have called Apple Support and reached someone who is even more clueless then I am so I'm here now, hoping someone can help me. At this point I want to remove all images from my phone and start over basically. Someone please help.
Please help!
Here is what it looks like with all the folders:
http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac286/kbphoto615/iphone1.jpg
I only want 1 folder. Please help me. Also, I am on a Windows PC so please do not suggest using iPhoto or Image Capture cause those options are not available to me.

Now that helps! But at this point I really am looking to loose all my photos. I want to start fresh as I have tooo many. It's filling up my phone. haha But I am def. going to check out that app! If you do have any other suggestions as how to wipe, only, all pictures from my phone, that would be awesome.
Thankyou for your help!
EDIT:
I'm actually reading this article again, and I can't get Auto Play to work, so I cannot choose Import. But I did go to Windows Live Photo Gallery. Select my iPhone, imported pictures, and from this import box I can choose to erase from device. So I am trying this method now, backing up my images and erasing them from Windows Photo Gallery. Hopefully this works.

Can't delete adjustment points

According to LR Help:
>Remove the adjustment completely by positioning the pointer over the adjustment pin and pressing Delete.
I can't get it to work. Hovering the pointer over the adjustment point and hitting Delete scrolls through the tools in the Basic Panel.
Am I missing something?
Win XP Home SP3

I do that all the time on XP and it works just fine. Are you hitting the delete key on the numeric panel with num-lock active, perhaps?

Can't delete duplicated desktop folders

I somehow duplicated the few folders I have on my desktop, including the Macintosh HD and TimeMachine backup. The duplicated folders are empty but I cannot drag them and drop them into the trash. When I right click on those folders, they show much fewer options than the originals.
The options are:
New Folder
Get Info
Change Desktop Background
Clean Up
Clean Up By
Sort By, and
Show View Options
The Clean Up By and Sort By options are:
Name
Kind
Date Modified
Date Created
Size, and
Tags
I can only draw a box around the duplicated items with the cursor but the box disappears once I release the mouse. I am mystified how these folders and icons got duplicated and more mystified as to why I can't move them. I appreciate any help in advance.

Open the Desktop & Screen Saver pane of System Preferences and change the desktop picture.
