A 'cleaner' app with SECURE delete option?

Hi all,
basically, I work for the entertainment industry and my systems are sometime loaded with very 'for your eyes only' materials, such as scripts and videos for movies still on working, etc.
As the leaking of those material may cause me serious trouble, I'm especially concerned with the 'secure deleting' of sensible files, particularly to avoid any risk in case of any of my computer being stole.
So as for cleaning/mantainance I normally use our beloved OnyX, or CacheOutX (for simple tasks) yet both lack the option of 'secure deleting' (shredding, overwriting, call it as you like) what they clean.
I went and searched for any app capable of performing such a 'secure clean' of OSX, but failed.
This is too be for me, especially for OSX itself allow to use secure VM and has Secure Trash ans Disc Free Space ereasing built right in! So basically what I'm forced to do is 'Erease Free Space' out of my HDs EACH TIME I perform a system cleaning. This is, in a word, boring. Or seriously annoying if you like.
So, any clue to help me out?

SInce there are thousands of system files scattered all over the place, and various utilities may not keep track (unless you can extract them from a log file somewhere), securely erasing the free space after using something like Onyx seems like the thing to do. There may be existing maintenance scripts out there - perhaps a script run from one of the periodic utilities that uses diskutil.

  • Does OS X 10.2 has the secure delete option & erase free space

    Hi All, I have an old iBook G4 1.42ghz with 1GB ram and I am thinking of putting an old disk of 10.2 onto it as I always liked OS X 10.2.
    I just can't remember of this verion of OS X has the secure delete option in finder when emptying trash and also does it have the abilty to erase free space with zeros etc..

    What OS 10.2 disc are you planning to use to install 10.2. If it's from another model Mac, it won't work.

  • How to specify custom SQL in polling db adapter with logical delete option

    Hi all,
    I am writing a SOA composite app using JDeveloper SOA Suite 11.1.1.4 connecting to a SQL Server db using a polling DB Adapter with the logical delete option to send data to a BPEL process.
    I have requirements which go beyond what is supported in the JDeveloper UI for DB Adapter polling options, namely:
    * update more than one column to mark each row read, and
    * specify different SQL for the logical delete operation based on whether bpel processing of the data polled was successful or not.
    A complicating factor is that the polling involves two tables. Here is my full use-case:
    1) Polling will select data derived from two tables: e.g. 'headers' and 'details' simplified for this example:
    table: headers
    hid - primary key
    name - data label
    status - 'unprocessed', 'processed', or 'error'
    processedDate - null when data is loaded, set to current datetime when row is processed
    table: details
    hid - foreign key pointed at header.hid
    attr - data attribute name
    value - value of data attribute
    2) There is a many:1 relationship between detail and header rows through the hid columns. The db adapter polling SELECT shall return results from an outer join consisting of one header row and the associated detail rows where header.status = 'unprocessed' and header.hid = details.hid. (This is supported by the Jdeveloper UI)
    3) The polled data will be sent to be processed by a bpel process:
    3.1) If the bpel processing succeeds, the logical delete (UPDATE) operation shall set header.status = 'processed', and header.processedDate = 'getdate()'.
    3.2) If bpel processing fails (e.g. hits a data error while processing the selected data) the logical delete (UPDATE) operation shall set header.status = 'failed', header.processedDate = 'getdate()', and header.errorMsg = '{some text returned from bpel}'.
    Several parts of #3 are not supported by the JDeveloper UI: updating multiple columns to mark the row processed, using getdate() to populate a value of one of those column updates, doing different update operations based on the results of the BPEL processing of the data (success or error), and using data obtained from BPEL processing as a value of those column updates (error message).
    I have found examples which describe specifying custom SQL using the polling delete option to create a template then modifying the toplink file(s) to specify custom select and update SQL to implement a logical delete. (e.g. http://dlimiter.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/advanced-logic-in-oracle-bpel-polling-database-adapter/ and http://myexperienceswithsoa.blogspot.com/2010/06/db-adapter-polling-tricks.html). But none of them match what I've got in my project, in the first case because maybe because I'm using a higher version of JDeveloper, and in the second I think because in my case two tables are involved.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, John

    Hi John,
    You've raised a good scenario.
    First of all let me say that the purpose of the DB polling transaction, is to have an option to initiate a process from a DB table/view and not to update multiple fields in a table (or have other complex manipulation on the table).
    So, when choose to update a field in a record, after reading it, you are "telling" the engine not to poll this record again. Sure, i guess you can find a solution/workaround for it, but I don't think this is the way....
    The question now is what to do?
    You can have another DB adapter where you can update the data after finishing the process. In that case, after reading the data (on polling transaction) - update the header.status = 'processed' for example, and after processing the selected data update the rest of the fields.
    Hope it make some sense to you.

  • Failed to add app with security error related with c2wts

    Right now, we are facing some weird issue when adding our app to customer's SharePoint site.  When site collection admin clicks our app to add it, he would get a popup page with title "Access Required" and message "Sorry, you
    don't have access to this page", however he is already site collection admin.
    At the SharePoint logs, we saw the following exceptions:

Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.ServiceModel.ExceptionDetail]: WTS0003: The caller is not authorized to access the service.

    I did some reading over the SharePoint code and also searched over internet, I found out this link:
    Adding App Causes Security Error where the similar error is thrown as well and he fixed the issue by reconfiguring the c2wts services.  His issue is slightly different from mine. In his case, end users won't be able to add in the first time
    and they would get "You Can't Add This App Here" message while in our case the error is thrown during adding the app.
    Why we would need the c2wts services here for adding an app if user is already logged in SharePoint via windows authentication?  Could someone confirm that would be the root cause for this failure since I also see the stack related " at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAppPrincipalPermissionsManager.UpdateAppOnlyPolicy(SPAppPrincipalInfo
    appPrincipal, Boolean allowAppOnlyPolicy)", just wonder if AppOnlyPolicy=true which our app requires has anything to do with this as well. Again, I could not find anything related article about that specific configuration is required to allow app with
    AppOnlyPolicy.
    Another weird thing is that it only happens at sites with managed path. At root site, the app could be added without any problem.
    Any suggestions are highly welcome and really appreciated. This is on a big customer. :-) Thanks in advance for your insights.

    This issue can occur when you change the name of the "Application Name" within Visual Studio, then deploy to BizTalk with the new name.  Problems is the DLLs are still assocaited with that earlier deployment name in BizTalk.  So go into BizTalk
    Admin Console, then navigate to:  BizTalk Group - Applications - Then for each application check the "Resources" folder.  Under one of these folders you should see your DLLs are already assigned to one of these other BTS apps.  So you need to
    delete the resources from the app (or delete the other apps) then your new deployment name will work.

  • Trouble with Secure Delete Files

    OK, I have upgragded to Tiger and I can't use WMP any longer. I'm a little angry about that, but I'll get over it.
    I moved WMP to the trash and am trying to do a secure file delete and I get the following error:
    The operation cannot be completed because the item "htm" is in use.
    I can't figure out what's wrong. There 's nothing (that I can see) in the trash called htm. I like the secure file delete because it frees up space on my computer, but am stumped.
    Anyone out there know what htm is?
    Thanks for your help!
    Oh, by the way...I have restarted, just in case something was running. I thought a restart would stop any program running.

    MCOJerry
    The first string, cd ~/.Trash/ takes you to the Trash directory in your home folder. The second, sudo rm -R * will delete its contents. Please tell me Was the stuff moved to the Trash folder from the internal start up disk?
    Please if you are uncertain just copy the commands from this thread and paste onto the terminal window.
    On Terminal: When you start the terminal application you are presented with something like:
    name of your computer:~ yourusername$
    On typing the first command it should be like this:
    name of your computer:~/.Trash yourusername$
    With the second command you will need to type in your password after you press return. This will not be echoed, i.e. the cursor will not move as you are doing this. This is normal.

  • Selling Audio book product in app with dynamic pricing option ?

    I like to sell my audio book product via In-App purchase . But they have only fixed  prices from different tier .
    I like to set my own price to each product and also i like to give some discount on some product based on promotional codes.
    Can you please tell me how it can be done ?

    Unless the machine came with ML you should not sell it with ML. Reinstall the original operating system (the one that the Mac had when new).

  • We were wondering how you stop some apps from running with out deleting them something like a task manager and in my settings im missing the application button in it how do i get it back and stop some apps its making it run really slow

    how do you stop apps with out deleting them i have looked for something like a task manager and nothing and researched about it and it says to go into your settings and then click applications but i dont have one can someone please help[ me thank you

    Double click the Home button. The bottom row shows the recently used apps. Touch and hold the app until they all start to wiggle then tap the circled minus sign by apps you want to remove. Press the Home button to return to normal.
    However, that is recently used apps not apps doing something. Some apps will do things all the time/periodically like checking for Notification, new mail. Yu can turn those off in the apps themselves.
    Just what are you trying to accomplish?

  • Mac Classic, System 7,0 (or 6.0.7), secure delete ...

    A friend is retiring her venerable Mac Classic running System 6.0.7 (and MacWrite II) in favour of a grape iMac she's getting free from another friend (oh my, what a shock she'll have - from System 6 to OS 9 in one fell swoop!). Anyway ...
    Moving the data over isn't a huge problem, I think she's opted for 1.44MB floppies and an external floppy drive for the iMac. It's the data left on the Classic that's worrying her.
    I'm sending her my complete set of System 7 Install discs from my original Classic, which includes the Disk Tools disk, on which is the System Folder and HD SC Setup (version B1-7.0)
    So, the question is (aah, finally, you're thinking!) ... Does the version of HD SC Setup as supplied on the System 7 discs for the Classic (they install System 7.0, although there is a "System 7 Tune-Up" disk too) and especially the Disk Tools disk have a secure delete option? Unfortunately the Classic in question is over 250 miles away so I can't get to it at the moment.
    Will I need an third party utility to completely erase the data on the internal hard disk or will HD SC Setup do it?

    Burn.sit is only 89 k-should work.
    You can use a 7.5 DisTools Disk on the Classic. For DiskTools you may look at

  • Deleting files via Finder menu--all I see is Secure Delete

    What happened to the plain old "Delete Files" option in the finder menu? I just loaded Tiger, and all I see is the "Secure Delete" option. While I find it a useful tool, sometimes it just takes too long if I am deleting large files.
    Any thoughts?

    Perhaps you should consider reinstalling Tiger. I just checked my wife's computer (10.3.9 installed) and it, too, has both menuitems.

    Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account.  You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

  • Secure Delete Apps

    Hey what happened to the secure delete apps like iErase and iShred that you used to be able to get to ensure your deleted files were really deleted?  Apparently they are not available in the US store? 

    When I downloaded photos from a camera SD card using an adapter, I noticed two Albums were created in the Photo app.(Last Import & All Import). Like you stated, there is no option to delete excess photos without deleting all of them. So this is the lengthy steps I went through to delet the extra album (I hope someone comes up with a shorter process):
    1) Connect iPad into your PC (Make sure you configured to Sync with iTunes)
    2) Go to My Computer > right click and open Apple iPad > right click and open  Internal Storage > right click and  open DCIM. (This will show the photos from those to Albums only)
    3) Right click on a empty space on the desktop
    4) Click on New > Folder
    5) Go back to the DCIM files and right click on each file(one at a time) then copy and paste each file over the New Folder.
    6) Go back to the DCIM files and open each folder and right click and delete each photo.
    You will notice that all the same photos are being deleted on the Photo app simultaneously.
    7) Then drag the New Folder into you Pictures on the PC.
    8)Then open iTunes on your PC and click on the Photo tab and click Sync on the bottom right to import those photos back to your iPad.
    I hope my scenario can apply to you.

    I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons.  If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen.  At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
    Anyway,  I would delete the app and re-install.  If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge.  Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
    Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background.  Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background.  press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking.  close all the apps down.  exit then re-launch the app.
    good luck.

  • HT4528 With IOS 7 I had to move my photos and videos off to a backup to install the IOS.  When they moved back to the phone during a sync I have no way to delete them.  The trashcan stays grayed out and the usage page doesn't give me a delete option.

    I got the message that IOS 7 was ready to download.  I wish I had read the reviews on it first.  I had to move my photos and videos off the phone to free up memory space for the install.  I was still able to see the phone with a file browser and grabbed the photos and videos and stored them in a directory on my hard drive.  Meanwhile my itunes updated too.  So with my files moved and deleted from the phone I made a backup of the phone.  I installed the ios 7.  When I synced the itunes moved my backup directories back to the phone.  I can't figure out how to remove them from the phone.  Under photos they have installed themselves with the names iphone09282013 and videos directories.  When I access them I don't get a delete option.  The trashcan is greyed out.  The settings usage page no longer gives me the swipe delete function.  How do I remove these files to free up space now that I have them saved to my computer?

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
