Are there any cache you CANT delete? Invisible files!?!?!

My MBP is getting pretty full so i downloaded Whatsize to see where everythings at. i found a cache folder that was about a gig large, so i moved it to the trash. and then when i tried to empty the trash it said that a file was in use (one from the cache file) so i stopped, and did not delete it. Is there any caches you cant delete, something that will effect the performance of my computer? or is it ok to go ahead an delete and open up the space?
One other issue is when i ran Whatsize it located a file called "Private" with such things as "ver" "ect"" "temp" in it. it is pretty large. but i can find it anywhere on the hard drive. i even tried to spotlight it, but nothing of the such came up. i have no idea what it is. i kinda want to delete it, but im not going to if i dont know what it is. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Caches which you can't delete should be kept in the cache folder. There are programs open all the time unless you boot into single user mode or connect to another Mac with target disk mode. I would not mess with the caches too much, as some are always being written to. Deleting a file which is being written to can cause data corruption.
Best to backup your data and only delete files from those folders which are safe which I've outlined:

If it's not MobileMe, use Safari to access the server directly and delet from there. If it is MobileMe, do the same thing but from your computer as the iPad Safari won't connect to MobileMe mail.

I have deleted the download log (history file) by mistake. Are there any method torestore the lost log file?

I have deleted the history file, a log in the Download Manager window by mistake, hitting the delete button which was hiding from other windows. I want to restore the download history file, if possible. Are there any way to recover the lost history log? Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you.

You should be able to:
Backup the device
Transfer any purchases from the device that were not already downloaded into your new library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Is There A Simple Way Of Deleting Invisible Files?

There's an invisible file/folder that I need to delete but don't know how. Instructions about how to do it that I've come across seem rather unclear.
Is there a rather simple way of deleting Invisible files?

If you know the name of the file/folder you can use the free Easy Find
http://download.cnet.com/EasyFind/3000-2248_4-8707.html
You can also use the free TinkerTool to turn on all invisible files, then do what you have to do, then turn invisible files off.

Is there any way to mass delete duplicated files?

I just transferred all of my brother's music from his full laptop onto my desktop.
Unfortunately, since his girlfriend had her own library, and since none of us were careful to keep track of where the files were kept, I now have several hundred songs that have been duplicated twice or even three or four times on a single library.
Is there any way to mass delete all the duplicated songs, so I only have one of each track?

Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts there's a script in there for dealing with duplicates: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts

IDVD Render Files (are there any that can be deleted?)

Hi all
Just to make certain, whether or not iDVD is still working from an older iDVD rendered file, is there somewhere to delete these files? Render files?
(like FCE stores them)
Perhaps not
In this particular case, I deleted an old movie file, but created a new one with the same name. I just wanted to make sure because I still see the same glitch from a particular frame in the movie.
(I'm sure it's the source media)
I'm dragging QT movie files directly into iDVD
(have not had any problems)
Thanx

No information here - guess there are no iDVD render files
Thanx
Mike

Are there any programs that open up unix files on Macbook Pro?

I run files that with all sorts of extensions like .eprt, .drw, .step, etc. I have tried using The Unarchiver - a free program available at the App Store.

The UnArchiver is a program that uncompresses files bascially, it won't run the files themselves.
For that you will need to investigate the extension and what program can address that file type, then if there is a program version for OS X that will open that file type.

Help: there is a way to delete duplicate files in itune?

every time when im importing music on my itunes is storing the files in the itunes music folder. now i have to backup this folder and the size is more than 80GB. i found that there are many duplications of songs. is there any easy way to delete duplicate files and songs that are unchecked from itunes playlist?
thank you

Robert Jacobson has written a duplicate removal script which you can download here:
http://mysite.verizon.net/teridon/itunesscripts/
You imply that your duplicates are unchecked. You can create a playlist containing unchecked tracks. This would allow easy manual deletion.
You need two playlists.
First create a smart playlist called "checked" containing checked items:
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Match only checked items"
Live updating checked
Next create a playlist with the following rule:
Playlist is not checked.
Match only checked items not checked.
Live updating checked
This second playlist should have all your unchecked tracks in it.
Then you can use shift del to delete the tracks from you library.

Nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

Time Machine has been working just fine, but in the last week or two it has given up the ghost. I reset the connections to the drive, and it will basically save a few bytes of data and then hang.
Although Apple originally announced, prior to the release of the first 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn), that it would support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks, they removed that option before they did finally release the base station for sale.
Since then, Apple has posted (as you have noted) that they DO NOT support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks. As far as I know, they have not changed from that position and those who do these backups find that they become corrupted over time. Sorry, but it sounds like you just confirmed that for yourself.
1) Has one of the recent updates either on the AE (firmware) or OSX disabled this function?
No. Again, this feature has never been supported by Apple for every generation of AEBSn released.
2) Are there any changes I can make to get this working again?
If your data backups are critical to you, then you will want to use a different solution for your Time Machine backup destination drive strategy. I would suggest that you connect your WD My Book directly to your Mac in the mean time.
Your other options would be to either use a Time Capsule (which interestingly does support TM backups to AirPort Disks) or a non-Apple solution like the Drobo FS or HP MediaSmart server.

Are there any standard BAPIs to change/create/delete quote data on CRM side

Hello Friends
I am getting prepared for the XI integration of the data (quotes related) from our application to CRM. Are there any specific BAPIs that you guys are using to create, modify, delete a quote in CRM.
Any feedback or advice will be highly appreciated.
Tks

Hi Ram,
Check these BAPIs:
BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2
BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA
Hope this helps you.

I had Iphoto 08 and now is gone, I have under applications and is not there. Also most of the pictures are gone. Can you easily delete the application?

I had Iphoto 08 and now is gone, I have looked under applications and is not there. Also most of the pictures are gone. Can you easily delete the application?

Obviously you can.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again

HT201356 I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist?

I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist.
I have alternate icloud email attached to my iPad and I accidentally delete it from appleid.apple.com. And now I can't log out that iCloud account because it doesn't exist and it can't recognize my password.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Are there any way to recover the deleted images form iPhone 4

hello guy's
are there any way to recover the deleted images form iPhone 4
note : i haven't make any copy of the photo in my pc so i relay need for them
plz help

The Camera Roll is for temporary storage as with any other digital camera. Although photos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer ASAP. If you didn't sync your iPhone with iTunes since these photos were captured by your iPhone and the photos in the Camera Roll weren't imported by your computer, the photos are gone.
Depending on how wealthy you are, you can contact a data recovery service to see if they can recover deleted photos from an iPhone's flash drive, but you will pay an arm and a leg for this. Such a data recovery service is not cheap and with no guarantee the data will be recoverable.
