Crash Logs - Can I Delete old ones?

Is there a purpose for these logs to be lying around? In User/Library/Logs/CrashReporter, I have a 105 documents, some of which are dated 2008. Can I just chuck these? I am on a bid to delete everything that has nothing to do with now, today, and the future. : )
Or should I just leave OS X alone?

Or should I just leave OS X alone?
Generally speaking, if you do not know what to delete, do not delete!
Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk is a very good place to start increasing your knowledge. It has specific advice for cleaning up system logs. Other Maintenance/Troubleshooting tips can be found at The X Lab: The X-FAQs.

My texts aren't working-can't delete old ones, sometimes can open new ones (mostly can't even see them), and unable to open or respond to new conversations

I have an Iphone 4s with a carrier who doesn't have good signal where I like, and I'm switching over to another carrier this week. My Iphone has been having trouble receiving or sending texts for awhile because of the service provider, but I think this current problem is Apple. I had this issue when I first bought the phone less than a year ago, and it lessened (almost going away completely) for several months after exchanging it for a new phone.
New messages will still make an alert, but most of the time, I can't see who it's from or what it says-the message screen comes up blank, sometimes with the lines that are normally between texts but still blank. If I can see who it's from, sometimes I can click the new text and it will take me to the "compose new message" screen instead of to the conversation. My new texts will disappear for hours or days at a time and then magically reappear, and I haven't been able to determine a pattern. I don't believe it is from signal strength or Wi-FI issues, because sometimes texts and imessage work perfectly when the phone says I have bad signal and there is no available wi-fi, other times not going through when I have full signal strength and connected to full speed wi-fi.
Only texts from before the update remain on my phone, even after deleting the same conversations multiple times. I can't read or respond to my new messages.
Any advice/fixes would be welcome!
Thanks!

Are you still dealing with this?
On number 1, do you mean backup rather than sync?
I have had times where backup completed but did not backup some databases. Running backup again was the solution. If this is what is happening, reboot the BlackBerry and reboot the computer and try again. If backup actually fails to complete and throws an error, what is the error?
2. The reboot may resolve the text issue. If not, do a soft reset and try again. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02141

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

"it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to? That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

I can't syncronize my library and my new device. I deleted old one but nothing change.I can't only add sth in library when my device connected.

I was using iPod touch before and I bougth new iPhone 5S.I change my apple id.Now I can't syncronize my library and my new device. I deleted old one but nothing change.I can't only add music,videos etc in library when my device connected.I tried to delete iTunes and set up again but it doesn't work. It's really hard to using like this. I always add new things at iTunes when my device doesn't connected. Please help me

You reinstalled an old version of iPhoto after you updated your library to the newer version.
Update ALL your software and try again.
Click the Apple Menu at the upper left-hand corner of your screen and select "Software Update..."
Repeat until it tells you there are no more updates.
AND, launch the App Store application located in your Applications folder to see if there are any updates there as well.

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

How can I delete old data in citadel

How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

Hi there,
I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
Hope this helps
Roland
PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :

Can't delete old pictures

Is anyone have the same problem: I used iPhoto since a while.
I upgrade to iPhoto 09 last month.
Today, I am organizing my pics and I am unable to delete pictures !
I can delete fresh pictures (I mean picture I just uploade from my camera)
I can't delete old picture from 2-3 month...?
I delete and the spinning icon (for waiting) kepps on turning and the iPhoto freeze...
This problem occurs when I try to delete one our a group of picture.
I changed nothing in the parameters.
I haven't lock any file.

I am having the same problem, having recently switched from 08 to 09. I can't delete photos as the machine hangs up and shows me the dreaded beach ball and (not responding) message - I have tried different ways to delete and different numbers of photos, hoping one my be the source of my problem. I have rebuilt my libraries - all things that I see being recommended on this site.
It has hung up on me numerous times while trying to perform other tasks as well, such as batch changes or changes to dates and times, cut and pasting between events and related type tasks. Apple is getting a ton of messages from Force Quit. Any other suggestions? The only thing I haven't done is try to re-install. Getting pretty frustrating.

HT4847 How can I delete old backups on my iCloud so that I can just backup my latest things?

How can i delete old backups on my iCloud so that I can jsut backup what is on my device now, and not from a year ago

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
All backups made on iCloud overwrite the old one, so you have only the latest backup with your most recent files. If you have a backup of an old device, open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the backup and delete that backup

HT204053 How can I delete old apple IDs

How can I delet old apple I'd so I only have one because it causes problems when downloading apps

The content (music, videos, apps, games, etc) that is aquired with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. Apple does not transfer the content of one Apple ID to another ID and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. Unless you wish to abandon all of the content associated with an Apple ID and buy it again with another Apple ID, you should maintain the ID in order to redownload or update the content in the future.
It is not a good idea to make numerious Apple IDs for this very reason.

HT1923 I have a Vista Operating system with 2 users. Somehow I got two different play lists each with one user. One is too big for the storage and has a vast amount of duplicates. Can I delete the one that is twice as large and then access the other li

I have a Vista operating system with 2 users. Somehow I got two diffent libraries for the users. How can I delete the one and then access the correct library on the other users profile?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

How can I delete only one part of my xml file?

Hello,
I stored more than 100 users in only one xmltype column. For instance
Create table agro(users XMLTYPE);
... and I inserted all users inside
INSERT INTO agro values(XMLTYPE
('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<authentication><users><user>
<name>cocoon</name>
<password>cocoon</password>
<role>admin</role>
<title>Mr.</title>
<firstname>Walter</firstname>
<lastname>Cocoon</lastname>
<company />
<street />
<zipcode />
<city />
<country>DE</country>
<phone />
<fax />
<email />
<bankid />
<bankname />
<accountid />
</user>
... another user, etc.
</users></authentication>'));
Now I tried to delete only one part of this file. For example all persons with the name"cocoon".
I used for this target the following statement:
DELETE FROM agro agro
WHERE agro.users.extract('authentication/users/user/text()').getStringVal()= 'cocoon';
When I execute this statement, Oracle DB delete all users and not only with the name "Cocoon".
How can I delete only one part of my xml file?
Kind Regards

This the expected behavoir. You uploaded a document containing multiple users and then asked XML DB to delete any documnet that contained a user with the name in question. The problem here is that you are creating a mega document that contains an aggregation of user documents but then trying to work with individual user documents. This is a bad idea.
In general XML does not understand the concept of a collection of documents. It can only operate on one document at a time. Hence the tendancy to aggregate individual documents into a single larger document. Once you have an XML database, you can perform operations on collections of document, as easily as you can perform operations on individual documents, so the need to aggregate the individual documents together disappears.
If you store each user document as a seperate document then your delete will work as expected.

HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

I have a similar problem. The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
I have a problem with both of these solutions! The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either. But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!

Trying to update my apps but it keeps saying update my credit card,I don't want to use a credit card and I can't delete the one that's on my account

Trying to update my apps but it keeps saying update my credit card,I don't want to use a credit card and I can't delete the one that's on my account

If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.
