Can not delete external HD from the "Do not backup list"

I just installed and began to use Time Machine. I have two external Hard Drives (one unpartitioned, and one partitioned into the time machine drive, and another drive) attached to my macbook Pro. In the list of drives to not back up, I see the two drives listed, along with the time machine drive. I can not remove the Hard Drives from the list to be excluded. They are there, I can select them, but the minus sign is grayed out, i.e. unselectable. Therefore this external drive does not get backed up by Time Machine. Any ideas?

That's correct. Time Machine needs the hidden +File System Event Store+ kept by OSX on disks formatted as +OSX Extended.+ Using that feature is how TM can quickly figure out what's changed since the last backup, rather than examining every file and folder on the disk.
That isn't available on other formats.

    how can I delete an app from the cloud, so nobody can download it again to my phone?? please I tried from the computer but it just hide the app from purchased, and still appears in the app store with the cloud on it

    At the present time, you can't hide or delete an app from your purchased list on your phone.  Prior to iOS 6 you could hide it; there has never been an option to delete it.

    Hi! how can I delete a book from the iCloud? I bought the wrong book ... is for adults and I have kids...so

    The most comprehensive delete method I know about is to delete the book from iTunes on the computer you sync your iPad with.  You'll be asked if you're sure, and it will be deleted from your iPad and any other i-Device you sync to.
    I think that's the best you can do.

  • How can we delete a line from the table control .

    hi all
    how can we delete a line from the table control .
    situation is.
    created table control in se51 which will display the data of a table.
    how could i select a line from the table control ?
    how could i delete the selected lines form the table.
    thanks in advance

    Change the Table Control attributes such that user can only select a single record(row).
    <u>Tip to delete a selected record</u>
    1) write a module 'Mark' in the PAI as below
    PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
    MODULE cancel AT EXIT-COMMAND.
    LOOP WITH CONTROL table_view.
    MODULE read_table_control.
    FIELD flag MODULE mark ON INPUT.
    ENDLOOP.
    MODULE user_command_0100.
    2) Module Mark is below.
    MODULE mark INPUT.
    CHECK flag = 'X'.
    x = table_view-top_line + sy-stepl - 1.
    Delete itab INDEX x.
    ENDMODULE. " mark INPUT
    Table_view is the TableControl Name.
    'flag' is of type char(1) available in the Internal table which was assigned to the select option in the table control.
    <u>award if uesful</u>

  • How can I delete an item from the main left column of iTunes?

    I'd like to delete an item from the main left hand column in iTunes (the column containing the main headings LIBRARY, STORE, SHARED, PLAYLISTS etc etc). Under the first heading 'LIBRARY' appear the items Library, Music, Movies, iTunes U, Books, Apps and Ringtones. I'd like to remove the item "Library" from that list - it appears immediately after the heading "LIBRARY" and serves no purpose whatsoever. (Neither does it appear to cause any harm, I must say, just a nuisance.) This item does not appear in any of the iTunes viewing options or controls lists. Neither does it appear in iTunes in the other accounts on my Mac and I have yet to see it any other iTunes on any other Mac.
    I've upgraded since about iTunes 8 assuming the problem would eventually disappear through the upgrades but it hasn’t, even through all the providedupgrade increments available for iTunes.
    I'm assuming it's from something I've installed in my main user account at some stage and it entered this item in the iTunes app. But I can't see how to remove it. The only things I can remember installing are "iTunes Batch Column Renamer" and "Join Together", both if which are just Scripts and which I use fairly regularly, but I don't recall either of them installing that particular item.
    Is there any folder I can navigate to to edit the list of items in that main left hand column of iTunes?
    Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

    on second thought, that you have an item "library" is indeed odd - there shouldn't be.
    suggest you try removing iTunes completely (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    note this will not do anything to your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.
    btw, you didn't install any 3rd party tools like this script:
    Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4 
    This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
    Show "Library" playlist
    Changing view setting is global
    Allow half-stars in ratings
    Hide "Ping" buttons
    Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
    Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
    Create playlists for purchased song collections
    Play songs while importing or converting
    Create file names with track number
    Maintain grid view for Search results
    Option-click zoom button for Mini Player&
    Show buttons horizontally

  • How can we delete a dimension from the classic planning applications

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to delete a dimension from the planning classic application but i am unable to find out the delete option to delete a dimension. I created the dimension from the Administration -->dimensions --> Add dimension.
    If we want to delete a dimension how we can delete that dimension, I heard meta data is stored in the RDBMS so that why if we want delete dimension we need to delete in RDBMS so please tell me the location in RDBMS to delete dimension. i am using sql is RDBMS.
    Thanks in advance......

    As John mentioned, it is not supported and advisiable to delete a dimension from Planning application. but yes you can take a chance with some risk if you need to do so.. this opertaion is tested in 9.2 but i never tried in EPM V11.
    You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
    BE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR APPLICATION BEFOREATTEMPTING THIS PROCEDURE.
    You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
    If you have the dimension in forms, you may also need to (after step 5) go into the hsp_formobj_def_mbr table and delete all references of that object ID. Then delete the dim id in thehsp_form_layout table. Recycle services of Planning.
    Procedure: If you create a custom dimension in planning and wish to delete it, here is how you might remove it from SQL manually.
    it is recommended that only someone familiar with relational databases attempt this.The following assumptions are being made about the dimension: No forms have any references to thedimension. Any and all attribute dimensions have been removed from the dimension. Any and all members have been removed from the dimension. All security access has been removed from dimension. Any Alias associated with the dimension has been removed.
    1. Open the Enterprise Manager for SQL server
    2. Open the database that has your planning application
    3. Open the table HSP_OBJECT
    4. You need to find the row that has the dimension name you want to delete:
    5. Take note of the OBJECT_ID in my example it is50051, don't delete it yet.
    6. Open the table HSP_MEMBER
    7. Find and delete any rows that have a MEMBER_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    8. Close the Table HSP_MEMBER
    9. Open the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
    10. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    11. Close the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
    12. Open the table HSP_DIMENSION
    13. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    14. Close the table HSP_DIMENSION
    15. Also delete it's reference from the HSP_UNIQUE_NAMES table.
    16. Delete the row in the HSP_OBJECT table that you found in step 4.
    17. Close the HSP_OBJECT table.
    18. Open Essbase Application Manager for the application and remove the dimension from the necessary Essbase outlines
    19. Restart the application server.
    good luck!!!

  • How can I delete tv shows from the iCloud on my Apple TV?

    I recently purchased Apple TV (3rd gen) and need to delete a tv show that appears there.  There's no trash can icon on the screen as some posts state--just an iCloud icon.  How do I delete an item from the iCloud so it will no longer appear on the Apple TV?

    You can't hide it AFAIK on AppleTV - do it via iTunes.
    In iTunes elect the store home page, and choose Purchases in teh QuickLinks on the right.
    Choose TV Shows and hover over the one to hide and there should be a small x to hide it.
    If you need it back go into your actual account settings in iTunes and choose to unhide there.

  • Can i delete an app from the icloud?

    Is there any possibility of deleting an app from the icloud?

    Please help me...
    Thanks

    You can hide it to stop it appearing as available for download. In iTunes click the cross at the top left corner when viewing your purchased items, on an iOS device swipe and tap hide when viewing purchased content in the app store app.

  • I have the original ipad. I can't delete my photos from the ipad, and the new itunes update does not give me the option to sync photos. What do I do?

    I have the orignal ipad. I synced all my photos from my computer onto. Now I don't have enough storage on my ipad so I want to delete these photos. When I try from my ipad it only gives me the option to share or copy, NOT DELETE. I went to resync my ipad to itunes, after I downloaded the new version and now it doesn't give me an option to sync photos. How do I get rid of them?

    Wow.  That's weird.
    Is your iPad jailbroke?  If it is, all bets are off.  If it is not jailbroke, keep reading.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How can I delete a app from the Mac App Store completely?

    I have a apllication which had a error. I delete it and download the app from the Mac App Store again, but the error wasn't delete. My iMac had stored it and the Error wasn't deleted so I can't youse the app.
    What can I do to delete the app complete?
    Please answer.

    If your App was faulty in some way you should write to iTunes support.   If you simply want to delete it, most Apps carry uninstall (not delete) instructions.
    Incidentally, I believe you cannot delete the record of your purchase from iTunes.   That will always stay on your purchases list and be marked with a dark grey square as INSTALL..

  • How can I delete Duplicated icon from the dashboar

    Please can someone help me : How do I  delete duplicated icon from dashboard, like the  Safari Icon and System Preference, and remain witht only one of each, that keeps working?  Thank you

    Well, Aleksdev and Paul_31, you helped me a lot, , thank you so much.
    Let me tell what worked.
    I went to the dock and deleted the good Safari and System icons, then I draged the ones on the dashboard to the trash.
    Then I restarted,  and they were no more either on the dock nor on dashboard.
    To put the safari icon back to the dock, I had to go Applications and drag the Safari Icon back to the dock. It worked, but with the icon for System Preferences, it did nit work this way.
    But never mind the important is that Safari icon stays always at the dock .
    So, one more time, guys thank you so much for the help.
    Maybe I'll be asking some more questions in the future, if you don't mind. I'm not an I-MAC specialist. I'm new on Apple world.
    Best regards!
    Monica
