How are you attempting to do the upgrade?
If you are attempting to do it OTA then try doing it with your iPhone connected to your computer and using iTunes to do the upgrade.

I have mistakenly deleted a mail folder in which I had created. I can't remember if it was located to 'iCloud' or 'On My Mac'. How can I retrieve the emails contained in this deleted folder? Your help will be immensely appreciated!
Yeah not a problem. It does seem though that if you did not have a Time Machine backup then you may not be able to recover the deleted folder :/ But for future reference to prevent any of this, a Time Machine backup is a great investment.
What it does is create an entire backup of your computer anything from personal information down to the screen saver.
What you first need is a new external hard drive (I would recommend a 1TB or higher just to prevent running out of space soon).
after that, just plug in the drive to your computer.
once it is plugged in, in the top right hand corner, close to the wi-fi symbol, you should see a symbol that looks like a clock with a backwards arrow around it.
click on that and select "open time machine preferences"
just turn the button to the "on" position, and select the backup drive and Time Machine does the rest
very great tool -

Geotagged a folder of ~200 photos then accidentally deleted folder. How to recover geotagging data?
I had a folder of around 200 photos that I imported into Lightroom (Version 3.6) and manually geotagged using Lightroom with Jeffrey Friedl's Geoencoding Support Plug-in. This took several hours of work in Google Maps, determining where each photo was taken then individually labeling each photo with the exact GPS coordinates in Lightroom, so it was pretty annoying when I realized that I accidentally deleted that folder earlier this week in an attempt to free up some space on an external hard drive.
I *do* have two back-ups of the same photos that were in that folder, however -- one on another external hard drive and one on a laptop -- but the photos in those folders are untagged and don't have any of the geotagging data that I manually applied to the ones in the other (now deleted) folder in Lightroom.
When I go into Lightroom now and look at Previous Import it shows thumbnails of all the deleted images along with the text "The file named (imagename.jpg) is offline or missing." However, in the Metadata panel on the right under "Geoencoding" I can still see the GPS coordinates I applied to each of the photos. I could individually write down each of those sets of coordinates along with the numbers of the images they belonged to and then manually type in all those coordinates for the 200+ photos in the folder with the untagged photos but it seems like there has to be an easier, faster way to do this. Is there?
Let me reiterate what I'm asking. I have 200 photos in Folder A on one external hard drive and the same exact 200 photos in Folder B on another external hard drive. I manually geotagged all of the photos in Folder A using Lightroom but then accidentally deleted Folder A. I still have all the same photos in Folder B but without the geotagging data. I can still view the geotagging data of the pictures that were in the now-deleted Folder A in Lightroom. Is there any way to transfer that data to the same pictures in Folder B, using Lightroom or any other program?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!Outside LR, just copy Folder B back to the same place as Folder A was, and make sure it has the same name as Folder A. That's it. You haven't lost the metadata, including the geotagging info....that's all still in the catalog. But because you've deleted the folder outside Lightroom, you get the "File is offline or missing" messages (in fact if you look in the Folders Panel you should see Folder A listed also with a '?' mark).....so just putting the folder back in place should fix the issue.

I Keep getting "your startup disk is full" ..... "You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting file..." If I can't have an acess, how can I delete files. Please help..
That means the hard drive of your computer is full, and you don't have enough free space on your computer, to do what you are trying to do.
You need to clear up space on your computer.
If you hard drive is full, check the following places to ensure they are not holding unwanted data.
- your trash can in the dock
- if you use iPhoto, your trash in iPhoto - launch iPhoto, and select trash in the left hand column. iPhoto has it's own trash, and is often overlooked
- your download folder - finder / home user / downloads - every time you download something, it stores it here. This is often overlooked as well
- do you have more than one user on the computer? If you do, ensure they are needed. If not, delete them, and the contents of their home folders
If you hard drive is very full, you may want to consider the following:
- putting in a newer larger hard drive - (call you local apple store for prices on this)
- deleting data off your computer
- moving data to an external drive - (iPhoto Libraries, iTunes Libraries or iMovie events, as they are the biggest space hogs) -
The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works. However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled. Help!
It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

Finder requires password to delete files, Trash does not show deleted files. Please help me resolve.
Deleting folders/files causes the password pop up interface to appear, does not seem to matter where the file/folder is. After deleting, it should appear in the trash, but does not. Moving files is not affected, with the exception of moving files into Trash. This did not happen in the morning.
Accessing ~/.Trash gives following message "The folder “.Trash” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." .Trash is hidden, and i can't view its permission from the Get info page.
I am the owner of the laptop, i don't understand why this is happening. The other thread with similar problems involved a software upgrade and had problems with moving files also, whereas my MBP was okay this morning, i didn't do anything else from then till now.
i did a ls -al ~ on the terminal, relevant lines as follows
drwx------
10 root staff
340 Jan 18 02:09 .Trash
compared to desktop, which i had no problems (yet, not sure)
drwx------+
30 Mac staff
1020 Jan 18 02:08 Desktop
i don't understand the notation, reading up about them does not clarify any more then to confuse me further.
My user is "Mac", ~/ goes to folder "Mac"
Please help, I have tried booting from save mode, and it is the same.Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
(Should anyone tell you this is dangerous or unnecessary, please ignore the comment.) -

Please don't refer me to the innumeras delete folder solutions available in the SDN. None of them has come to my help.
I need to delete a folder. Well, codes are available everywhere, I run it, it successfully deletes the folder specified.
But the requirement is, I need to make a zip of the folder, then I'll delete the original folder. I am pasting the code here. The zip part is working, the delete part is not! if you comment the line calling zip, it deletes the folder, but after zipping, it cannot delete.
Is there some lock present? How to check and remove that? Please help.

The problem was, the folder I was trying to delete had .classpath, .project, .websettings files. It was encountering problem to delete these files because it internally also uses files of same name.
May be that was the reason.
I tried with any other folder, it worked. -
Photos are not deleted from "recently deleted" folder after 30 days
Hello-
I tried to sync my iPhone 6 today, and iTunes read that there were 2500 pictures stored on my device (nearly double what I actually have). I did some searching online and I found that if I change the date of my phone back 1 month (to Feb. 15), all of the photos that were supposed to have been deleted from the "recently deleted" photos folder had reappeared. I manually went back through and deleted the photos that had reappeared in my recently deleted folder from every month since I got my phone (Oct. '14), and then iTunes said I was back down to 1400 pictures.
Why hadn't the pictures deleted after 30 days like they were supposed to? How can I rectify this?
Thanks,
CarsonThanks for your quick answers!
I realized that I didn't select the option 'enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account', but, even selecting it, the junk mails are not automatically cleaned. I tried restarting Thunderbird, restarting the computer, and even manually changing the date and restarting Thunderbird, but nothing worked.
I checked the entries in the advanced configuration, and they are all correct.
My aim, as it was with the other problem I posted, is just to help to improve the development of Thunderbird by pointing the bugs. But they are actually really minor issues and not a real problem for me. So don't worry if the problem is not finally solved.
And thanks again! -

IWeb deleted folder on my HD with same name as website
The folder with all my projects in it was deleted when I published a website from iWeb with the same name. The files did not go into the trash - they simply vanished. Is there any way to get these files back? Keep in mind I didn't publish to .mac - I publish "to a folder". PLEASE HELP!!
I think the problem is more like this. Take a folder
named "AllMyImportantWork" in the Documents
directory. In iWeb, if you choose to publish to a
folder, the folder you choose to publish to is
"Documents" and the site you're creating is
"AllMyImportantWork", iWeb will stomp all over that
other directory regardless of if it contained iWeb
stuff or other important documents.
That is a very good point! I hadn't conceptualized that particular scenario, but you're right--regardless of the nature of the files in the folder, all could be lost; what a potential for disaster!
I think iWeb should look inside a folder for an iWeb
structure before overwriting it to prevent this kind
of accident.
I agree. Perhaps 2.0 will address this...
Backing up the Domain file wouldn't help
this, but backing up the entire computer would.
Right on all counts...I was actually thinking more along the lines of having previous versions of a site saved by way of backed up Domain files, but the OP's point was overwriting of unrelated files. Great clarification! -
If free disk space reaches 45 MB, the Manage Temporary Folder Reserve Space dialog box appears
This was a big problem for me in AA2 but I thought it was gone in AA3. It has only just started happening in AA3. I have gigabytes of space yet this dialog box is only supposed to appear when you have only 45mb of space available?
It seems to happen when a serious amount of editing of files has taken place. I mean sliced & diced and tuned almost every sylable of a vocal line.Ok - This has happened a couple of times since my last post on the subject but this time I took some readings.
When doing an "export" the Manage Temporary Folder Reserve Space (MTFRS) appeared after doing a vocal edit/comp - I mean a real lot of slicing and dicing in multitrack view (I have no control over the client's vocal ability).
Details
OS XP/SP2
Audition on C drive 92gb free
Recorded files (24/44.1) on H Drive 131gb free
Primary temp on H drive
Secondary Temp on E drive
There is no undo history showing in the "undo History" area
There are a large number of files listed in the "waveform" area
The temp files totalled about 80mb and are the same size (with the exception of AudxNRJI.tmp which goes from 65.5mb and is then deleted) when the program exits.
I understand that there are limits to everything and that this is more of an annoyance than anything.
It would be good to know just exactly it is that triggers this situation.
PS Just about to post when I did some more sums.
It maybe that Peter K. Larson is correct about the 4gb undo history.
I note that the MTFRS shows "134319 free" space on the primary temp drive and after AA exits there is 131gb. While some of these figures are not exact (file size vs space on disk etc) there is some anomaly.
Do we know where the undo history is stored on disk - I would assume the temp drive? -
Hi All
I have a question regarding client cache removal using a powershell script calling a com object
My C drive contains 18 GB free space
Total CCM Cache in c:\windows\ccmcache size is 10240
Free Space = 8713 and used space = 1527
I used the following powershell script to remove used space by using DeleteCacheElement function
Though all folders were removed in cache but I still see used space even after using the script
May I know the reason and how to delete the used space
$UIResourceMgr = New-Object -ComObject UIResource.UIResourceMgr
$Cache = $UIResourceMgr.GetCacheInfo()
$CacheElements = $Cache.GetCacheElements()
foreach ($Element in $CacheElements)
Write-Host "Deleting CacheElement with PackageID $($Element.ContentID)"
Write-Host "in folder location $($Element.Location)"
If (!(Test-Path $($Element.Location)))
md $($Element.Location)
$Cache.DeleteCacheElement($Element.CacheElementID)
$Cache = $UIResourceMgr.GetCacheInfo()
Write-Host "The total Cache size = $($Cache.TotalSize)"
Write-Host "The total Cache free size after execution of script= $($Cache.FreeSize)"
Write-Host "The total Cache used size after execution of script = $(($Cache.TotalSize) -($Cache.FreeSize))"Though all folders were removed in cache but I still see used space even after using the script
How? Are you talking about this line of the script? Write-Host "The total Cache free size after
execution of script= $($Cache.FreeSize)"
