Catalog is jacked,  How can I remove it and start over

My catalog is really in bad shape, I have tried to remove it, and can find no option to do so.  I have tried to reconnect all missing files, and it runs through about 25,000 pictures and when it is done, nothing is changed. most of my directores are empty, if I have any photos displayed they are showing question marks, and only about 1/10 of the photos are actually connected.   I have tried to get photos and videos from folders but it does not help. (similar results to reconnecting.
This program is worthless with a bad catalog.  I tried to un install the entire program and much to my dismay when I resinstalled, it, there was my bad catalog!!!!.
I tried to delete files with catalog in my pictures\pictures directory, but his  had no impact.
Please help!

Thanks. PE7.  Now I figured this one out, but it took a while. I tried to use the optimize and the repair functions, but still had a very corrupt file.  I finally realized that it would not let me delete my catalog until a created another one (seems like it will not let you delete your only catalog).  Once I created a new one, I was able to delete the old one.  Then with the new empty catalog, I was able to rebuild it so it only looked at my pictures directory.  Took about 1 hour or so to complete 20 k of photos, but now I am good.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Tried to download it several weeks ago and closed my macbook about halfway through. The download wouldn't resume. My only options are pausing and resuming it, neither of which work.

  • How can I remove asm and ocr installation in AIX?

    Hi,
    I try to install single instance with using ASM in AIX.
    But I did not make successfully.
    Now I want to remove ASM and OCR installation then
    I will plan to make new clear installation.
    How can I remove asm and ocr ??
    Or How can I control my removing is fully correct ?

    1) ASM Instance Clean-Up Procedures
    Stop all of the databases that use the ASM instance that is running from the Oracle home that is on the node that you are deleting.
    On the node that you are deleting, if this is the Oracle home which from which the ASM instance runs, then remove the ASM configuration by completing the following steps. Run the command srvctl stop asm -n node_name for all of the nodes on which this Oracle home exists. Run the command srvctl remove asm -n node for all nodes on which this Oracle home exists. If there are databases on this node that use ASM, then use DBCA Disk Group Management to create an ASM instance on one of the existing Oracle homes on the node, restart the databases if you stopped them.
    If you are using a cluster file system for your ASM Oracle home, then ensure that your local node has the $ORACLE_BASE and $ORACLE_HOME environment variables set correctly. Run the following commands from a node other than the node that you are deleting, where node_number is the node number of the node that you are deleting:
    rm -r $ORACLE_BASE/admin/+ASMnode_number
    rm -f $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/*ASMnode_number
    If you are not using a cluster file system for your ASM Oracle home, then run the rm or delete commands mentioned in the previous step on each node on which the Oracle home exists.
    2) Deleting an Oracle Clusterware Home Using OUI in Silent Mode
    !!! Oracle recommends that you back up your voting disk and OCR files after you complete the node deletion process.
    If you ran the Oracle Interface Configuration Tool (OIFCFG) with the -global flag during the installation, then skip this step. Otherwise, from a node that is going to remain in your cluster, from the CRS_home/bin directory, run the following command where node2 is the name of the node that you are deleting:
    ./oifcfg delif –node node2
    Obtain the remote port number, which you will use in the next step, using the following command from the CRS_home/opmn/conf directory:
    cat ons.config
    From CRS_home/bin on a node that is going to remain in the cluster, run the Oracle Notification Service Utility (RACGONS) as in the following example where remote_port is the ONS remote port number that you obtained in the previous step and node2 is the name of the node that you are deleting:
    ./racgons remove_config node2:remote_port
    On the node to be deleted, run rootdelete.sh as the root user from the CRS_home/install directory. If you are deleting more than one node, then perform this step on all of the other nodes that you are deleting.
    From any node that you are not deleting, run the following command from the CRS_home/install directory as the root user where node2,node2-number represents the node and the node number that you want to delete:
    ./rootdeletenode.sh node2,node2-number
    If necessary, identify the node number using the following command on the node that you are deleting:
    CRS_home/bin/olsnodes -n
    Perform this step only if your are using a non-shared Oracle home. On the node or nodes to be deleted, run the following command from the CRS_home/oui/bin directory where node_to_be_deleted is the name of the node that you are deleting:
    ./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=CRS_home
    "CLUSTER_NODES={node_to_be_deleted}"
    CRS=TRUE -local
    Deinstall the Oracle Clusterware home from the node that you are deleting using OUI as follows by running the following command from the Oracle_home/oui/bin directory, where CRS_home is the name defined for the Oracle Clusterware home:
    ./runInstaller -deinstall –silent "REMOVE_HOMES={CRS_home}"
    Perform step 9 from the previous section about using OUI interactively under the heading "Deleting an Oracle Clusterware Home Using OUI in Interactive Mode".

  • How can i remove videos and music that are not on my ipad mini but are still taking up space and are showing that they are there even after i've deleted them?

    how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?

    I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

  • How can i remove duplicates and certain contacts on Outlook and my iPhone?

    I use the Outlook mail and contact program on my PC with a Windows 7 operating system, which I sync with my iPhone5.
    After installing the iCloud program, I now have duplicate and sometimes quadruplicate contacts.
    1. How can I remove the duplicates?
    2. How can I be selective about which contacts I want to share on iCloud, in other words, can I share only certain contact categories/folders like work contacts or personal contacts?
    3. How can I "uncloud" specific contacts and have them appear only on my computer and not on my iPhone?
    4. Is there a way to restore accidently deleted contacts?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    Select what is desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • How can i remove Go and Exit buttons as well as Advanced text from OVS help

    Hi Gurus,
    Once i have impleted OVS code in my webdynpro, i am able to see Go and Exit buttons as well as Advanced Search Text, but i do not want see buttons and Text in my screen, How can i remove the same?
    Thanks
    Venkat.

    Hi Venkat,
    Create a context attribute say Va_Attr1 in the parent view, popup view and component controller. Map both the context in 2views to the component controller. So, the context variable which is bound to input field is passed via component controller to popup view and is stored in there as context attribute.
    Now, you can just get the context attribute value set in the input field in parent view and use it for search in popup view.
    In order, to have tables with multi-selection. Goto table properties and in selectionMode, set multiNoLead instead of auto.
    Then in the wdDoInit() of popup view put,
    wdContext.node<Table>().setLeadSelection(-1);
    Loop through the table node and find out at what all index rows are selected for table using
    int count=0;
    String s = "";
    for(int i1=0; i1<wdContext.node<Table>().size();i++){
       if(wdContext.node<Table>().isMultiSelected(i1)==true){
        count = count+ 1;
        s=s+ i1;
    count will give you no. of rows selected which would be equal to s.length.
    s.CharAt(0) will give the first row selected and similarly
    s.CharAt(n) will give the nth row selected
    Using Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(n)) will give you back the index int type where s.length will give No. of rows selected.
    For rows which are selected append the text values of all those separated by ";" using
    StringBuffer strBf = new StringBuffer();
    for(int i=0; i< <No. of rows selected>; i++){
    if(i=0){
    strBf.append(wdContext.node<Table>().get<Table>ElementAt(Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(i))).get<Text>());
    }else{
    strBf.append(";" + wdContext.node<Table>().get<Table>ElementAt(Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(i))).get<Text>());
    Finally when 1 or more row is selected and needs to be populated in the input field then set in the context attribute which will pass the value through context mapping using
    wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_Attr(strBf.toString);

  • How to delete all photos and start over

    is it possible to delete everything in i-photo and start over again from scratch.  I have dvd copies of everything, I want to start over just like the first time I opened the program.
    new albums, new folders, ect---I really screwed up everything and want to start over

    Just go into the pictures folder and delete the iPhoto Library. The next time you start iPhoto it will create a new one.
    Just in case, you might want to rename it instead. That way you can still access the old library if you have to. When you find that you don't need it, you can delete it.

  • How can i remove moved and deleted old libraries?

    I've moved a bunch of my libraries around, removed some, and have installed iphoto9 on a new mac. I love that in iphoto9 I can now create new libraries or decide which library to open. But, all of my older libraries are showing up in the list when I open with "option". Plus there are duplicates of the older libraries. I'm assuming there is a db or data text file somewhere that is populating this list. Does anyone know how I can remove old defunct libraries from showing up in the list?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks Terrence. I didn't even realize all these old files still had album xml files. I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,

  • How can I remove red and green lines from a footage?

    I cannot remove red and green lines without removing the title graphics that I have in my footage. How can I solve the problem and keep the graphic there?

    @Ann Benns
    I will try to do that. Thank you!
    @Bill Hunt
    Well, the raw footage is an avi filmed with a handycam. This error occurred
    the next day after I finished the editing in Adobe Premiere cs5. It might
    be something wrong with the title graphics that I use, but still if there's
    a solution I would like to find it out as this error occurred before.
