"Broken" images that can't be deleted

I have a few broken images when I go into the photo application. They appear as a generic strike out "broken" thumbnail. When I try to remove them by selecting them and choose "delete", it first asks me "do you want to delete xxxx.jpg?". After selecting "Yes" I am getting an error message: "General System error". Is there any way to rebuild the index, so the broken thumbnails don't appear anymore?

It just took me the last 3 hours to solve this annoying problem on my N97 so I thought I would share how I fixed it.
I connected the phone on mass storage mode with Windows set to view hidden files. On the images folder, next to the wallpapers, camera, etc. folders, there was one hidden folder containing modified picture file names (like xxxxfile.jpg.xxxx).I guess this is how symbian stores thumbnail data? (?)
I deleted these files without removing the folder altogether and the broken thumbnails on the Photos app on the phone were gone.
This also made some of my non-broken photos disappear from the Photos app even though I could still see them on windows explorer. What I did then was to remove them through windows explorer and copy them again from ovi suite, and violá, my album was fixed.
I don't know what would happen if I remove the folder itself, who knows if that messes up symbian again.

Please help!! "Can't open the illustration. This artwork contains a very large image that can not...

Hi all, I am subscribing Illustrator CS6 16.0.0 and using it on Windows 7.
Few days ago I was working with one file, I saved it successfully and now when I'm trying to open it an error message occures "Can't open the illustration. This artwork contains a very large image that can not be read on this version of AI. Please try with 64-bit version." and ALMOST ALL of the objects (vector) are missing as if they were deleted!
It's kind of strange since I created the file with the same program and everything was working properly before.
Please Please advice further steps for recovering my file.

Thank you so much! the file is recovered (as well as my emotional state )
The finding of the day - apparently I have two versions of AI in my PC!

How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

What pics?
This is very vague.
If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

Iphone 4 Apps that are pointless that can't be deleted

I've got my iphone 4 on the release date and i love it,
however there is one thing that i hate and what to change, why can't i delete the apps i don't use like
Stocks, Weather, Voice Memos, Compass and the new one Game centre all of these app my be useful to some people however for a student as myself they are pointless and only take up space on my iphone which i could use on music/videos
is there a way to delete these unwanted apps?

the ones you refered are the native apps, and can't be deleted. If however you don't like them you can always put them on the folders that you won't use and move them to the last page.

What is the maximum number of images that can be imported into flash?

I am not able to import images more than 47 or 48. What is the max. images imported?
As the images are sequence images and I need that to use for interactivity for rotation with Action script. So cudn't import as a swf either.
Please do let me know.
Thanks in advance.

You can load the image files into your movie's Library during authoring, or, you can import the image files into your movie at runtime. Either way, your're still using the same memory.
If your movie is designed so that the user will only ever use some of the images, then it may be better to load the files that the user selects at runtime.
In either case, you should optimize the images that you use as much as possible so that you are using the smallest possible file size and still keep the greatest image quality possible.

Embedded Links that can't be deleted.

I have several embedded links of an old image added onto my work, however several of the links could not be deleted and are invisible on the artwork. I can select them by using Go to Link but I cannot move them or delete them only resize it.
How can I get rid of this as I don't want to risk it appearing when coming up for print?
Thanks

Turn off the preview to see where the images are. (You should see rectangles. You should also find them somewhere in the Layers stack)
Check if anything is locked. (Object > Unlock All.)
Check whether layers are locked, if so unlock them.
Select the images (Links panel, click on link and then Go to Link button) and delete them.

Importing vector image that can be edited in keynote 6

Hi All,
I have a vector image (eps) that I'd love to put in my keynote 6 presentation. Need to be able to edit it.
Struggling to find a way. I can get the image in, but not able to edit it.
Any ideas?

There is a way to export the vectors such that that you can edit the fill, stroke, even modify the points in Keynote HOWEVER it requires that you have a version of Keynote that will still open Keynote 1 files. If you still have that old version of Keynote, check this page.
http://www.christianholz.net/keynote_utilities.html
In addition EazyDraw will also export Keynote 1 files.
http://www.eazydraw.com/fileFormats.htm
It was fairly straightforward for these tools to generate a text .xml file structure for Keynote 1. As the latest Keynote no longer opens files like these (and the current format isn't built on an easily understandable xml base) it remains to be seen if Apple will create a tool that allows developers to export to this latest Keynote version.

A compressed disk image that can be mounted via mount -o loop file?

I have a handful of hard drives I want to back up before I re-purpose them. I would really like to use some kind of compression (preferably xz or gzip), but I want it in a way where I can just mount it on the command line without extracting it first. Is this possible?

I know this: http://e2compr.sourceforge.net/ I have not tested it and need kernel patching. There are more option if you only want read-only support (see the link Related Software on the last page).

What files can be safely deleted?

I love my 400 MHz TiBook but its 10 GB hard drive is filling up. I have approx. 1.5 GB of free space left. What files that can be safely deleted? Can I delete extraneous printer files, modem files, packages, etc? I use MacJanitor to clean out caches and I don't have any music or photo files that might be causing the bloat. Also, before I delete anything I will back my hard drive up to a FW drive with SuperDuper.

Hi, Fred. You're wise to be thinking about how little free space you have left now, before the operation of your Powerbook is seriously impaired. But rather than just nibble away at the contents of your drive, which will only buy you a small amount of time before you're back where you started, you should be thinking about replacing your tiny 10GB hard drive with a larger one. You could easily get a 60GB drive for $50 plus the cost of shipping, and installing a drive in a Tibook is very simple — a 20-minute job at the outside. Then you'd just start up from the external FireWire drive on which you've cloned your 10GB drive, and use SuperDuper to clone its contents onto the new drive. The whole drive swap and data transfer, including the original cloning, could probably be accomplished in less than two hours. Then you wouldn't have to worry about hard drive space for a long time to come.
For expert guidance on what you can do in the short term to regain disk space, see this.

I use an external hard drive for my Lightroom library and I notice that all the images shown on there are DNG. On my MAC hard drive I have images shown as NEF. I desperately need to free up space on my hard drive, can I safely delete these NEFs?

however, I do point out that obtaining an additional hard drive and not throwing anything away seems a preferable solution to me.
heidie22, dj_paige has a very good point there. I would not through away the NEF files; I would archive them to a external drive.
By the way, I am assuming that converting RAW files to DNG is a decision you have made and not an accident.

How would I make it so that when "deleting" an image I can make it so that the delete key does it or a button I put on the application?

I want it so that I can use either a button on the designer window or the delete key. I know how to do the or part but the trouble I'm having is coding the button in.
if (LastImageClicked != null && (e.Key == Key.Delete || Button))
This is the code that I have in the format I'm looking for I just don't know how to do it. Thanks for your help!

There are a number of things which are unclear about your question.
I'll tell you one way to approach this though.
Handle Window.PreviewKeyDown.
<Window
Window.PreviewKeyDown="Mainwindow_PreviewKeyDown"
Code behind
private void Mainwindow_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
if (e.Key == Key.Delete)
File.Delete("p001.jpg");
I don't know enough about what you mean by LastImageClicked but you need some way of knowing which path you are going to delete.
Then you might well have a problem if it's showing in an image control.
You will need to copy the picture off disk into a new bitmapimage object.
If you just do
<Image Source="p001.jpg"
Then that image will grab the file and you won't be able to delete it - you'll get an error.
In my experimental code p001.jpg is set as content copy always so it ends up next to the exe in the bin when the solution compiles.
You would probably want a full path to a file there.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for replying, I just tried that a few times and no go... ugh! It pops up a window saying, " The item "....jpg" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted." Then it just gives me an ok button option.
