Can you reverse delete the preferences/settings file.

OnOne software advised me to delete the preference/setting file in order to prevent constant crashes from using Perfect Effects 8. It didn't help. Perfect Effects still crashes CS6, and now I lose my settings everytime it crashes. Can this be reversed?
They told me to hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop, which I did and then select "delete the preferences/settings file".
How do I reverse this. It didn't help the crashes at all, and it's SO much work to get my setting back every time it crashes.

Holding down the modifier keys at startup is a one time deal. It has to be repeated each time you want to reset the preferences.
So thats telling me (so I assume) that your preferences maybe corrupted or there is a permission issue with the file or folder the file is located in.
Here is a basic trouble shooting page by adobe that may help.

If that don't help, let us know and please provide what OS you are using as that may be necessary if it is a file or permission issues.

Can you transfer apps data/preference settings from one iPod to another?

I just bought a new 32G iPod touch (previously using a 16G touch). I know how to transfer all of my music, movies, etc. from the iTunes library.
But here is my question: is there a way to transfer the "preferences/settings" files for my apps--workout routines, high score settings, mail settings, stock data--from the iPod itself?
The actual apps transferred over fine from iTunes, but is there a way to get all of my info from my old iPod to the new one?

I am trying to do this, but it doesn't seem to work for me. When I restore my new iPod from my old iPod backup, I only get settings and some pictures, but no apps or music.
In order for this to work would have I had to have the "Sync" settings on for apps and music? I can't turn this on now. The music is not a big deal, but I have a few essential apps on here that I really need the data from.
Any ideas?

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.

No, you can't downgrade.

Question? Can you safely delete huge media cache files?

Dear Experts:
In working with PRE7 I found that almost all of my disc space was contained in my media cache folder and it was clogging up all my work. What is that file and can it be deleted without causing harm or losing work?
Tom

Tom,
This can depend a bit. If you have done any Rendering, those Render files can be safely eliminated. As mentioned above, the .CFA's and PEK files can also be eliminated (will be regenerated, if needed).
For housekeeping, I place all Scratch Disk files in the Project's folder hierarchy. This keeps everything together and below the Project's root folder. When I am done, I will just Delete everything in that Project. In my case, ALL Imported Assets are ONLY copies. I never work with originals, which are safely stored elsewhere. Basically, one click takes care of the cleanup.
If I am not sure that I am done forever with the Project, I will first use the Archiver (Project Manager in PrPro), and locate the "archived" Project on an external HDD for storage. I will archive ALL aspects, except for the Render files, including the .CFA's and .PEK's, just to save time, should I need to revisit that Project.
There are other files, that are possibly in the Project's root folder, such as when you Burn to Folder. You will then have the VIDEO_TS folder, with the necessary DVD-Video files. Once you have successfully burned that folder to DVD-Video, the VIDEO_TS (and all files), can safely be Deleted.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt
PS - UNTIL I am 100% certain, that I am done, I do not Move, Rename or Delete anything. When done, I often use the above mentioned Archiver, and then do major clean up.

I can't access my old Apple ID, can you please delete the account or posts?

I can't access my old Apple ID. Before the big account switching, I naively posted my email in a post in a topic here a while back.
Now it comes up in search results and I don't want to attract any spam. I want to either remove this old account or at least wipe some of the posts I made under the name. Not sure where else I can possibly post this question, totally apologize if it appears rather rude.
Thanks,

Is it possible to lose all calendar settings on exchange server if you delete the Library/Calendar file?

I set up on Office 2011 for mac calendars for multiple direct reports that I have given access to a deligate. She will put info into the calendar and it will show up on her side, but not mine, and vise versa. All on Exchange 2007 server. So I read a piece that said to delete the Library/Calendar files and it will reconnect as it sees there is not one.
Now I have no calendar or appointments. What to do.
Bye the way the reason I was doing this was I was tired of Office and was migrating back to iCal and Mail.app

OK fromsouth.
Is the CalDAV account information specific to me or would it be specific to the author of the calendar who initially sent out the invite?
Will all the petinent updating and manipulating permissions remain as they were intended per the original invite?
Many thanks again. I was hesitant to post thinking I was missing something simple and standard. Thanks for your quick and courteous response.
You are welcome.
Since shared information is temporary yours (temporary while being shared) you should be fine. CalDav is just underlying exchange protocol. So as long as you can see that info shared -CalDav is just a delivery vehicle.
As far as permissions - yes they are going to stay. Thousands of us share for example Google calendars, cause Google integrated calendars sync in IOS mail. The question is just as simple as if your exchange supports it and if they(your IT) are going to allow your ipad/iphone connect to it.(Make sure to get their instructions if your exchange requires specific setup)

When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place. The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
It does not convert the file. You can delete the original if you wish.

New to the Apple and I want to set up a user account that will not delete the guest users files and allow and preserve their personal settings after log out. Is this possible?

New to the Apple and I want to set up a user account that will not delete the guest users files and allow and preserve their personal settings after log out. Is this possible?

The built-in guest user account will not do this. Simply create a new standard account and call it "Guest" or "Guest Users" or whatever you like.
Go to System Preferences > Users& Groups, click "+" to make a new account.

Can I delete the my music file on my computer

I have over 11K songs on my i tunes and almost 30k songs on my music. It's taking up too much room on my computer. Can I delete the my music files just have the I tunes, or delete the my music file and then drag the music from I tunes and put it in the my music.
I sure there are a lot of doubles in the my music file.
I also have an external hard drive.
Can you please help me.
Thank you so much.
Sally

Yes... With iTunes closed move the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> to the top of the external drive, e.g. as X:\iTunes where X:\ is the drive letter, then click the icon that starts iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key and keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose then browse to and open the file X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl - your library should show exactly as before. Double check that the media folder under Edit > Preferences > Advanced now reads X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. (I'm assuming here that your library won't be old enough for the media folder to have been called iTunes Music as it was back on iTunes 8.) Once you've checked that use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files in case the library is connected to any files stored outside of the media folder. This brings in copies of those files.
If you think there is media in <User's Music> that was not previously connected to the iTunes library you can move this into X:\iTunes\Automatically Add to iTunes otherwise you can discard files that you know to be duplicates.
As for duplicates already within the library, or created by moving the remnants of <User's Music> into Automatically Add to iTunes, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls. (Such as lost playlist membership!)
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

How can I delete the photos or files in my iCloud storage that is no longer needed?

How can I delete the photos or files in my icloud storage that is no longer needed?

Explain how it didn't work and what you are trying to delete. Since icloud doesn't store photos except for those in a backup (then delete the backup); photos in photo stream do not count towards your storage limit.

Tamara,
Did you reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.
