Can I delete renders and previews when putting projects into long term storage?

I want to shrink the size of my longe term storage folders. Would it be ok to just delete the previews and renders?
Any project opened in the future is going to rebuild them anyway..
Thanks

I agree with Joe (nothing unusual there), and, as stated, how you do the mechanics might well depend on how you establish your folder structure, when you start the Project. I keep everything (including copies of any Assets), in a folder structure below the Project's name. This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4028199#4028199
With such a structure, it is easy to Delete, say Media Cache files, etc., before using Project Manager, or just setting it to NOT copy those files over. It also makes a final Deleting easy.
I do sacrifice a bit of performance, by not spreading, say my Render files, my Audio and my Video, over separate physical drives, but then, when the Project is done, tracking down everything is easy, as I just Delete the root folder, [Project Name], and everything goes with that.
Good luck, and glad that you asked, before archiving a bunch of Projects, or Deleting a bunch of files.

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?

Q: Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?
FAQ revised 25 April 2009
Ans: Prior to version 1.3 Lightroom did not support 1:1 preview rendering during import, the actual options for Initial Previews being: Embedded or Standard. However, more recent versions allow four types of previews to be rendered during import (i.e. Minimal, Embedded & Sidecar, Standard,and 1:1). It's also worth noting the following on Lightroom import behaviour:
1. Minimal (Lightroom default) or Embedded & Sidecar is by far the quickest method for getting your photos into the Lightroom catalog. However, the lack of Standard, which is the minimum that Lightroom can actually work with, means that the application will render standard-sized on demand (i.e. as thumbs/photos become visible within the photo Content area). Asking Lightroom to undertake this task at the same time as you're trying to use the application will result in sub optimal performance.
2. Importing your photos with the Standard preview selected within the Import dialog will take longer than 1 above, but on completion Lightroom will already have previews that match the minimum requirement for working in the Library. Assuming that you won't be looking at every image at 100% (i.e 1:1) then this preview size will allow you to quickly review, rate, label, even make quick colour/tone adjustments, etc the photos within the Library module. If you need to see a photo at 100% then Lightroom will render that preview on demand (while it's being rendered you'll see the "Rendering Preview" overlay appear at bottom of preview). Note that when using a 23" or larger monitor it to is best to set the Standard sized previews so that they are rendered at 2048 pixels
3. Importing your photos with the 1:1 preview size selected will result in Lightroom taking even longer to complete the import process than would have been the case if standard-sized had been chosen. 1:1 previews also take up significantly more disk space than standard-sized.
If you're not going to be working on the photos immediately after import but do need to get them into Lightroom as quickly as possible, then the best option would be to choose import option 1. Once the photos have been imported choose either Render Standard-sized Previews or Render 1:1 previews from Library module Library>Previews menu.

When I search these forums for "CFCopyFormattingDescription", I find a bunch of crash reports posted that look almost exactly the same as mine. It appears there's a bug in iPhoto, perhaps when reading metadata from the JPG file (readRawTiffPropsFromPath).
Interestingly, the Preview app can open and display the file just fine. I even opened the inspector and it showed all of the TIFF and exif metadata just fine, no crash. The file also opens just fine on Windows.
Now how do we get the attention of the iPhoto development team so I can send them the photos, have them reproduce the crash, and fix it?

Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
Take care, Mike

Can I delete a tv series I put on my pc after I have moved it to my ipad - I want to keep it on my ipad

Can I delete a tv series I have downloaded into itunes and make sure it stays on my ipad? The tv series takes up a lot of space on my pc but I don't want to lose the copy on my ipad. Any advice will be gratefully received.

As long as you have downloaded the programmes into your computer's iTunes library and your account is authorised on your computer's iTunes (via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) then you don't need to be online to watch them. When you buy a programme or series on your computer's iTunes it should download onto that computer, and will go into the TV Shows part of your library, and as long as they finish downloading you shouldn't have any problems watching them whilst offline

Make cookies visible again, so that I can delete the cookies immediately when I am no longer using a website.

Make cookies visible again, so that I can delete the cookies immediately when I am no longer using a website. I recently updated firefox, and I was very disappointed to find that the cookies from sites I visit were no longer showing to me. I am still able to use the sites, but I cannot see their cookies to delete them. I like to delete the cookies immediately once I am done with their site.
Help me to see the cookies again. Thank you

I also wanted to let you know, that I find it incredibly stupid, that cookies are hidden away in a tools menu; when most internet users would obviously prefer to be able to immediately see what cookies are being used, and could then just click and delete them immediately, without having to click 4 different buttons and then delete them. PLEASE MAKE THE COOKIES EASIER TO GET RID OF, BY SHOWING THEM IN THE BROWSER ALL THE TIME. thank you

Can you access in on icloud.com and delete the event? If not, and force-quitting didn't help, try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then restart your Mac and go back and check Calendars again.

Just adding to what CSound has said.
Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
Best regards PelleRPG.

I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.
