Can I delete the folder (Mobile Documents) on my Mac?

I just wanna the Pages document in the Cloud, not on my Mac… I wanna do the download on the iPad. Just like iTunes Match. I have the reference (doc icon to download) but the the file. For files dmg.txt and the how others? Maybe in the System Preferences uncheck Documents & Data? That's it? I just wanna use the iPad to sync Pages docs, the dmg.txt files only in the cloud to download? Is this possible?
thanks

Sorry. When you said you "unchecked iCloud Mail," I thought you were not wanting to use it on your Mac.
To answer your original question, I don't know whether you can delete the Mobile Documents folder from your Mac. Or rather, I don't know what might happen if you do. Better have a couple of good backup copies of your boot volume before you try it. (A good idea for anything that requires "sudo" even if you have researched it thoroughly.)

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply.
I have explained my actual problem in another thread: PU Val. GR Blckd St. exceeded by 1.000 EA : POXXXXXXX Plant Sloc
When 107 posting done more than once, SAP considers the quantity of the
first GR only during PGR in VL32N to post 109.
Steps to replicate:
PO qty = 500
Inbound Delivery Qty = 500
1st GR in MB01 with 107 for qty = 250
2nd GR in MB01 with 107 for qty = 250
Now Post GR in VL32N (remember delivery with stock type Q/X)
Error message M7022 displayed (PU Val. GR.Blocked Qty Exceeded by 250)
I tried to reverse both document and post a new 107 with qty = 500. Now also I get the same error message in VL32N.
But If I remove the old documents from EKBE table (which are actually reversed ) and retain only the latest 107 , then I am able to post GR without any error in VL32N
Please help me.
regards,
Shashidhar

Can I delete the folder in the vault drive called "images deleted from Aperture Lib" ?

I am reorganizing and separting my main Aperture library into smaller libs...in my vault drive there is a folder (always been there) that is called "images deleted from Aperture library"...it contains the images I deleted after emptying the Aperture trash. It is large (200Gig) and I want to delete it in finder (put in the trash then delete it...is this a safe practice? Thanks...Steve

Yes.
When you delete photos from Aperture that are in a vault, the next time you update the vault, the images from the vault will be moved to that folder. You can delete it as you see fit... it's your last and final chance to decide if you didn't want to delete a file

Can I delete the "Previous System" folder ?

Hi all experts,
My system has been having problem after i installed the Adobe software but still useable. All software remains okay except to startup Adobe, it takes unusually long.
Then one unfortunate day while watching YouTube it hanged & doing a force quit won't help as the beach ball keeps on rotating endlessly. So I turn off the power. After that it cannot start-up anymore.
The salesman asked me to start up using the disc I originally have and do an "Archieved Re-installation" and select saved all the settings. He said I have to do that so that all my installed software remains.
Because my installation disc in Ver OS 10.5.4 after installation, it is still very slow. After updating it to 10.5.8, it now becomes back to original but the following problem remains:
a) starting Adobe programs remains slow, how do I overcome this problem ?
b) how come I still have Adobe under the application ? Can I move it to trash & reinstall again ?
c) can I delete the folder "Previous Systems" ? (because it eats up a lot of my HD space)
Thanks

a) I have to admit that I don't use Adobe Creative Suite 4 very much because I spend most of my time using developer tools. When you say it takes a long time to start up the applications is CS4 is it all of them? You know, they do take longer than most application to launch even in the best of circumstances. What model and speed of Mac are you using and how long does it take to launch each of the CS4 applications?
Mine is a 24" iMac with 4GB RAM, 2.8GHz & 256MB of dedicated VRAM. When I say it takes a long time, I was referring to something like 3 to 5 mins to start up each of the applications.
But the funny thing is once it started up & I quit the application and then launched it again, it will take only 15 to 30 seconds. This applies to all the applications in the CS4 Suite.
But if I shut down the whole system, it again took about 3 to 5 mins to launch the application again on the first time after shutting down the whole Mac. Again if I quit & re-launch, it only take 15 to 30 secs. This applies to all application in the CS4 Suite.
For your info, other application like Final Cut, iMovie, iPhoto ... etc remained okay & unaffected.
b) You can move the CS4 applications to the trash but you'll never find all the other installed pieces. I would just install fresh over them.
Can you please elaborate. I don't understand what you meant by "other installed pieces" and "install fresh over them". Thanks
c) The Previous System does not contain your files or preferences so you will not lose bookmarks or songs.
Thanks for the info & confirmation
d) I don't have songs with DRM from iTunes so I know nothing about the authorization mechanism. I'm sure that has been gone over ad nauseam on these forums and you'll be able to find something on a search.
Okay, I shall try to post on the iTunes section.
Thanks

How to delete a folder in Documents To Go.

I've created a folder in Documents To called Song Lyrics. In that folder I have several 100 songs with lyrics. Now I want to delete the folder but there is no delete button. I can delete each song individually but that doesn't delete the folder itself. How can I delete the folder?

I'm no expert when it comes to Docs To Go but I'm wondering if pressing and holding the folder for a second or two will bring up a Delete option. Just a thought.
Cheers.

If I share my photos in icloud can I delete the originals from my iphone?

What are you planning to do? In iOS 8 for example, if you press delete on a photo, the photo gets deleted on both the device and iCloud.

Once a movie is copied into iTunes, can I delete the file from the folder?

I've copied several movies into iTunes and then sync'd them onto my Apple TV.
My question is: Once I've copied a movie into iTunes, can I delete the movie from its original folder (e.g. the Movie folder) and still have the movie in my iTunes?
More specifically, does "dragging and dropping" the movie into iTunes make a new copy of the movie file so that I can delete the original file? And if I can delete the original file, should I?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks. I'll check and see when I get home tonight. My guess is that that's the setting since my disk space has decreased a lot when I started copying things into iTunes.

I deleted my download folder and now I can't download anything. I can't select the folder to "save file to" and when I select "ask me where to save files" I still can't download. it says your file will start downloading, but then it doesn't. Help!!

I deleted the folder that saves everything that is downloaded from Firefox. After that I can't download anymore. I've tried clearing my download history, reset the download folder, reset the download action by renaming the mimetype.rdfs file and it's still not working. I've tried to choose a different download folder but it doesn't let me select any folder at all. If I select "ask me where to save files" and then try and download something, the download doesn't start after I select save to. The only time it does actually download is when I select "open with...windows mediaplayer" when downloading then the download will start. Please help. Thank you.

You broke your phone by getting it wet. Nothing more to say. Bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty exchange or buy a new phone. There's really nothing else we users here can help you with.

You certainly can.
Be aware that the emails you move to local storage ("on my Mac") will be the only copies that remain.

You can control this using authorization objects in DMS.

Imported iPhoto library, can I delete the iPhoto events?

Hi,
I'm very new to Aperture, so far I'm impressed.
I have imported my iPhoto library and now I see a folder called 'iPhoto Lirary' that contains 'Events' and then events (that look like Aperture projects).
The question is, can I delete the 'iPhoto Library' folder?
and also, can I, delete the Aperture projects without impacting the actual pictures?
Thanks!!

Gecko,
The library is the humongous collection of files and relationships between the files -- it is the Aperture database, stored in a Mac OS "Package". It's the thing you "open", like you open a document or spreadsheet to see what you've previously stored in it.
A Project is a logical group of photos within a library. Aperture allows you to create as many projects as you like within your library, and you can store as many photos as you like within each project (although some users here have found poor performance with 2000+ photos in a single project).
What I wasn't clear with was, are the photos stored in the library and files I see in a Project are 'sortcuts' to the photos in the library?
I suppose that depends on your point of view concerning referenced versus managed. I prefer to think that all my photos are part of the Aperture library, but only the managed masters are actually stored within the library. With that line of thinking, all of my photos in a project are the actual photos - some of them are stored within the library (managed) and some are stored outside (referenced). When I think of "shortcuts", I think of albums. Albums in Aperture are like playlists in iTunes. A photo lives in one project in your library, but you can point to that photo in a many different albums. Aperture doesn't take up extra space in each of the albums; rather it just points back to (is a short cut to) the photo in a project.
If I Import into a Project, are the photos stored in the Library?
You should make sure you read about masters versus versions. It's hard to talk about how Aperture works (with even an innocuous sounding question like yours) without understanding masters versus versions. Master photos are stored in the library package if they are managed; they are stored where you tell Aperture to store them if they are referenced. Versions aren't really stored anywhere -- they are virtual, merely a set of instructions on how to manipulate (adjust) a master. However, thumbnails and previews for all photos are stored within the library.
Aperture tries to minimize the necessity to know if your photos are references or managed -- it really should not matter since Aperture is keeping track of them all. With Aperture, that distinction between managed and referenced is relevant in only 2 conditions: only managed masters are backed up when you create a vault; and only masters which are immediately accessible can be edited with adjustments. For the latter, that means that 1) all managed photos, and 2) only referenced photos which are on a drive which is currently connected to your system, are available for adjustments.

IPhoto question-I NEVER look at my events, and I keep running our of space can I delete the "Events" of my IPhoto?

IPhoto question-I NEVER look at my events, and I keep running our of space can I delete the "Events" of my IPhoto?

No, you can't delete all your events. You could merge them all together so you'd have just one, but doing so would hardly save any space, just as putting all your documents in a single folder would hardly save any space. It's the documents and photos themselves, not the containers and subcontainers in which they are organized, that really take up space.
If you have additional iPhoto questions, I suggest posting them in the iPhoto forum where the real gurus hang out.

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.
