Deleted data from iPhoto

My daughter was doing 'housekeeping' on her laptop and came acroos a bunch of files which she didn't recognise so she just trashed them! Now her photos don't display properly in iPhoto - she says they appear for just a second and then are gone. She can't remember the types of file but says they were not jpegs.
On my mac I found some files ending in .ipmeta. She thinks this is what she trashed. I may be able to recover them with MacKeeper (have already found thousands of images already deleted bu they don't solve the problem). If I restore these ipmeta files where do I put them if they have been divorced from their folders? Is there another way to restore these files so that the photos re-appear in iPhoto? Are they something to do with Spotlight? Will reindexing the disk restore the photos?
Thanks

I may be able to recover them with MacKeeper
Forget about this approach. Even if you recover these files - and face it, you're not even sure these are the right files - you'll never get them back in the right places for the database to work.
Neither will re-indexing with Spotlight.
Restore from back up is the best fix, but why do I guess that's not possible...
Next best fix:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
This will work - unless, of course the xml file is one she deleted.
If it doesn't then you're into recovering the files from the Library package and starting over from scratch

Deleting photos from iPhoto 9.1.1 library to create free memory on HD

hi forum,
I am looking for some guidance on what how to free up space on my hard drive which is critically full. my big data hog is iPhoto. I am using version 9.1.1 on Mac os x 10.6.7 I have backed up the entire library to an external hard drive as well as to a time capsule.
Now I want to delete part of the iPhoto library to free up space on my hard drive. Will this affect the files on my external drive or on my time capsule. I just want to make sure before I do this that I am not making a big mistake that I can't reverse.
Thanks for any feedback!

Thank you Niel and LarryHN,
Maybe I am looking at this from the wrong perspective. My issue is that I am running out of space on my 313.4 GB Macintosh HD also my start up disk, less than 4 GB of remaining memory. I am using a 500 GB Time Capsule and a 1TB Iomega external hard drive. Both with sufficient space to back up my computer. Maybe in order to free up space I should be looking at other data to remove although the iPhoto library uses the most which I don't need to have on hand at all times.
Should I just copy part of my iPhoto library to disk and then delete it from iPhoto? Since time machine will just keep backing up and deleting old versions. I really thought I could just store some of this data on my big new external hard drive with out interfering with my iPhoto and Time Machine applications. Now I am going to be silly but can one purchase a second iPhoto application with a new library or maybe I need to buy a second computer.

How do I totally delete photos from iPhoto to stop them playing in sldieshow?

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto and transferred it to my HDTV via a memory stick. I have successfully manipluated the dates and titles so that it plays in the proper order, BUT it also transfers and tries to play deleted photos - shows them as a black page saying file not available. How do I find these files and totally delete them from iPhoto? Or stop them transferring to the memory stick?

This may be because the files you've exportd have a resource fork, and the formatting of the flash memory can't cope with it. It sees the resource fork as a second file.

Update/insert/delete data from xcelsius to Database via web service

Hi,
I need to create dashboard that go function can update/insert/delete data send to Database thru web services, as i know got 2 xcelsius add-on software which support those of function InfoBurst and flynet 
InfoBurst
http://www.infosol.com/azbocug/minutes/4-Writeback%20to%20a%20Database%20with%20Xcelsius.pdf
flynet 
http://www.flynetviewer.com/public/community/Blogs/FlynetXcelsiusServerUser/default.aspx
Except this 2 purchase add-on xcelsius, any other solution ?
Maybe need to write some in MSSQL or C# programming which enable insert, update, delete ...etc ?
*note: i not use Xcelsius Engage Server , i use Xcelsius Engage only
thanks,
regards

Edited by: Leong Pui Kee on Mar 1, 2011 6:06 AM

Hi,
As of now in Xcelsius/Dashboard Design there is no feature or functionality to insert/update/delete data from database.
Solution:
Create a Web service in let’s say C# or Java, which will perform insert/update/delete operation.
In Xcelsius add Web Service connection and user above web service.
Xcelsius Web Service connection provides option to pass input values to a Web Service (Input Pane) and get the result (Output values pane).
We can pass values to be written to the database as a input to Web Service via Web Service connection from Xcelsius and write data to the database.
Note:
Performing delete operation from Xcelsius Dashboard could be risky and may delete important data from database. I would not prefer giving delete option/functionality in Xcelsius dashboard.
Hope this helps!
Thank you.

Deleted videos from iphoto but they are still showing up in the finder?

I deleted all of my videos from iPhoto and moved them to an external hard drive because I wanted to free up some space on my MacBook Air. The files are no longer visible in the iPhoto application, but for some reason, when I look at the storage space on my computer, it is still showing that I have 8GB of movies on my computer. If I search in the Finder, it is showing that a lot of these videos that I deleted from iPhoto are still in a "Masters" folder in iPhoto. I am confused, though, because if I open iPhoto, the videos are not in there. I want these video files to be deleted for good - can I just go in to the "Masters" folder in the Finder and delete them there? I've read not to delete anything from iPhoto in the Finder, though. So, getting very frustrated because I'm not sure why these files aren't fully deleted off my computer. Any suggestions?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Delete data from archive server

Hello,
we have following question : How do you delete data from archive server which has passed the retention time and need to be removed from archive server.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Planung,
For deletion of data SARA transaction is used. Also deletion indicator is required to set for the documents which you are not using. Use the bapi BAPI_DOCUMENT_DELETE for deleting the documents which are set with deletion indicator.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Now I want to get the rest of the key fields from the active table of the DSO. Can sombody help me please with the ABAP Code? Or is there another possibility?
I already found this thred in SDN but this is for BW 3.5:
Delete data from ODS with only part of the key
Thanks
Ralf

Ralf,
the thread pointed out by you is for passing deletion entries to the DSO / target using the deletion entries .. namely recordmode = D.
Are you looking at deleting data from the DSO as a one time activity or you want to handle the same using a start / end routine ...? and pass deletion entries to other data targets which get the data from this DSO ?

Deleting data from SID Table

Hi,
I have deleted master data of an info object but it does not remove all the data from the SID table.
I have selected with SID's option but not all data was removed.
I am getting the error below when transporting
"SID Table /BIC/ S2QKHITIND Contains Data : Characteristic ZQKHITIND Cannot be activated. "
What needs to be done to get the charecteristic activated.
Thanks
James

Hi Selva,
Thank you for the info. I have deleted data from all the infoproviders but still get the message
The system is unable to delete all the master data as, because some of it is still in use. (See log:
Object RSDMD, sub-object MD_DEL )
Do you want to delete the data records that are no longer in use?
What does this mean. is it due to the query open in some place or something else.
While I am not able to delete the SID table entries as the delete is not active. Please help.
Thanks
James

Deleting data from a cube

Hi,
I added a info object to a dimension in a cube. now i want to delete the info object from the cube. But since the cube has data in it, i cannot do it unless i delete all the data from the cube. When i select 'delete data', i'm given 2 options, delete fact table only and 2nd option delete fact table and dimension table. what is the difference between the two and what option should i select.
i then need to load the cube back from ODS. the cude right now is setup in the proce4ss chain to do a delta load every day. would this be affected after i delete the data and load it again from the ODS?
Thanks
Sameer

The way I understand your question is...
1) You have data in the cube from which you have to remove an infoobject
Ans: To acheive this, you have to delete the data from the cube
2) You have deleted the data and then deleted the IO, activated the cube and the update rules from the ODS which feeds this cube
3) Now you have to reload the deleted data from the ODS. But you already did an init and you are loading delta's from this ODS to the cube through process chain.
Ans: As you've already deleted the whole data from the cube, do a full load from the ODS (you can do this even when delta initialization is done) to your cube by creating a new infopackage under the export datasource of the ODS. This will capture all the records from the ODS. Then to be on the safe side so as not to load any duplicate records...go the infopackage that you've used to do the full load (you can even create a new Info package)...SCHEDULER -> Initilization options for source system -> Delete the existing INIT -> Then do Init again...
Leave the delta infopackage as is and let the process chain take care of the deltas from now on...
Hope this helps. Let me know I am missing something here...

Deleting data from a partition in a table

There is a requirement to delete data from a particular partition in our PROD Env.
Please let me know the syntax for the same.
Also is it possible to truncate a partition?
The DB version is 10.2.0.4 and OS is Solaris 10
Regards,
Narayan
Edited by: user7202581 on Apr 14, 2013 12:11 AM

Hi, You can use the following Syntex.
-- For Truncate
ALTER TABLE <table_name> TRUNCATE PARTITION <Partition_name>;
-- For Delete
DELETE FROM <table_name> PARTITION <partition_name>;
