Delete original file (from camera)

Hi all,
I use iPhoto and Photoshop on my Mac for different purposes: iPhoto for family events and travel that I won't be doing much (if any) editing to, and Photoshop (Elements 7) for my hobby photography pictures.
I got on Photoshop this morning to import some recent photos from my camera, hooked things up as always, opened Bridge CS3, and selected File>Get photos from camera.
For some reason, I can't find the Delete Original Files checkbox in the Photo Downloader screen (whereas it shows up here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/2.0/help.html?content=WSEC378273-AF69-4a1e-9CD8-10 8420C556ED.html). I could be totally wrong, but thought I've always done things this way in the past to reduce a lot of tiny-camera-button-clicking through tons of photos.
Did this button disappear with a version update? Do I have some other option set incorrectly to not allow this one to appear? Or has the button never been there, and if not, is there a way to delete photos in mass from my camera?
Thanks for any & all help,
Lori Ann

What you saw was a screenshot of Bridge CS4, somewhat misleading regarding the URL mention Bridge 2.0 in fact it is Bridge 3.0 that comes with CS4. And for some strange reason they added this option to Photodownloader CS4, IMO that energy could have been used better...
However as per Ramón, using this way is also in my opinion not the best way to work. If you don't want or have a card reader (again, not wise :-) ) then only download image from the camera and after this disconnect the camera and use the camera menu itself to format the CF card and start with a fresh and empty CF card.
BUT, don't do this before you have checked if the files you have copied to the computer are OK to open and again a wise thing would be to first make a back-up (if you study the downloader options a little you will see that this is also an option you can (or in fact should) use.

HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
Which is best ?

It does both at the same time.
When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
Then there are no "extra" files around.

Bridge not deleting loaded images from camera

Hi Adobe et all
Bridge has started to not delete the files from my camera once loaded into Bridge.
Camera is Canon 60D and has operated fine since going Creative Cloud, re the deleting process.
I would say about 5 weeks ago noticed that although the Delete Files was checked (once loaded) it now does not work. Have tried unchecking and then rechecking - worked a few times but now doesn't want to know.
Any ideas anyone - bug or an overflow somewhere?
Regards crotchertywouldlikeittowork

Any ideas anyone - bug or an overflow somewhere?
I can only repeat and support Curt. I really hope this would be as designed, to my opinion it should not only be impossible to use Photodownloader doing so, it also should be forbidden to do so on import.
It is a bad idea to use other then in camera software to delete your files (use the camera menu for the delete all if you wish so) but I prefer to always format the card in Camera to start up with a clean card.
Mind you, you really should not delete files from cards nor format cards before you are sure your files are all OK on your system and if you have made at least one proper back up of the files on a separate disk.
Not only first check the thumbs being build correctly in the Bridge Content Panel. Also randomly check files in Bridge by selecting the thumbs and see if the previews are build in HQ. Thumbs often reflect the embedded jpeg, preview reflects the original jpeg or Raw file.
CF cards are very cheap nowadays, also an extra HD is not expensive. Your precious files should be treated careful, deleting them on download using Photodownloader is very dangerous. You won't be the first to discover your files not being imported correctly while at the same time being deleted from the card...

Deleting Original Files

I just purchased Aperture 3. One of the main reasons I purchased it was to use it to cull through the massive amounts of photos I seem to take at various events I do photography for. However, I have yet to find a way to use Aperture to remove the original photos I import to my hard drive. I would like to selected a photo and use a sinlge command to do away with it altogether - version, master & original file from the Finder. Is this possible? Am I missing something?
Thanks

Select the image and do a 'File->Delete master and all versions'
If the masters are referenced you will need to select the checkbox to also delete referenced masters when you empty the Aperture trash. The checkbox will be in the empty trash confirmation window.
Of course you will have to empty the system trash when you are done.
There is no way to delete internal Aperture files (such as versions) from the finder.

I can't delete any files from my external hard drives since I tried to delete backups. I can't return backups or delete anything now.

It started when I tried to delete back up files. It wouldn't let me delete them. Came up with "BootX" is locked, then "boot.efi" is locked. Holding down Option while emptying the trash didn't do anything. It wouldn't let me put them back in Backups.backupdb so I just left them in the trash.
But now I can't delete any files from either of my external hard drives. please help!

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

Lightroom mobile syncing is super slow and stop for no reason. cannot resume syncing. no idea with the progress of syncing. cannot sync the original file from mobile into desktop.

lightroom mobile syncing is super slow and stop for no reason. cannot resume syncing. no idea with the progress of syncing. cannot sync the original file from mobile into desktop. stuck and cannot process any further.

Hi. Did you trigger a delete data via LR preferences ->Lightroom mobile.
I'm not seeing a catalog connected to your account.
Did you import originals via the connection-kit?
Thanks

When using a Seagate 1T external hard drive and Time Machine to back up hourly, if I delete photo files from the Mac hard drive before the next back up, are these retained on the Seagate drive or will they be lost (overwritten) in the next backu in the ne

Does Time Machine erase previously saved files if, say, photos are deleted from the Macbook upon the next update, or will they be stored indefinately despite the current status of the files stored on the computer? Eg. can I bckup photo files to a Seagate 1T disc and then delete them to make more room on the computer in the knowlwdge that they are always going to be on the Seagate disc? Sorry if this is very elementary but I have not used a back up before like this, and am not sure how successive backups are overlaid or retained. Thanks!!

TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

HT203200 Cannot delete the file from the itunes folder

I cannont delete the file from the itunes folder because it tells me I need permission to do so. I am the admin person for the laptop plus I have checked my permissions under the security tab in the files properties. How do I delete this file to start again? It downloaded 1.2GB of the file before the error message appeared, so its paid for and all but not looking like I'll get to watch it before the time runs out on the movie being available for me to watch. :-(

Try deleting the file without iTunes running.
When you next open iTunes it should then be marked as a missing file and you should be able to delete the entry from iTunes.
Hope this works

Gay,
I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

First you open a File to the specified file, and then you call delete(). Easy
File file = new File("path/filename");
file.delete();Of course if you want to make your application cross-platform you will need to build a correct path somehow. Check out the static attributes of the File class to help you (fx. File.separator).

Help needed - OS Command foe deleting a file from Appplication server.

Hi,
I have requirement, where in i need to delete a file from the application server. It has to be done automatically. I thought of using OS Command for achieving the same. Can anyone help me in achieving it. The OS of my application server system is UNIX.
Thanks in advance!!
P.S: Points will be rewarded.

Hello Sudeep,
If you define the command for each operating system using transactions SM69 (You can test it with SM49) and then call it using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE which contains a parameter defining the operating system (SY-OPSYS)
then it does not matter which operating system is running, the function module always calls the correct version of the command.
So, for example you could define a command 'OS_COMMAND'
which deleted a file. This would have one version for Dos
which said 'del', and a second version for unix which said 'rm'.
The correct command would be specified by the call to SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE because the operating system parameter differentiates between the two commands.

SXPG_COMMAND_LIST_GET Reads a list of external OS commands
