If the user has used the manage option to delete the contents of the DSO then the changed by field will be updated by the users name. In case a program is used for the deletion then it wont be the case.

How to delete Autofill contents Safari 2.0.4

How can I get rid of Autofill or delete Autofill contents? I find it anoying to to be prompted with several suggestions that are not what I want. I know there is private browsing...but what about everything that is already in autofill, or the next time I forget to turn it on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I may have misunderstood your original question.
I find it anoying to to be prompted with several suggestions that are not what I want.
I thought you were asking about the multitude of prompts appearing when you begin to type a web address into the Address window.
If you are asking about the autofill information that appears when you are completing a form, then yes, as you discovered, the reset command will remove that data in its entirety from the system. It also removes a lot of other data too. You can find out the specifics of what is affected by going to the Help Menu>Safari Help. When the Help screen appears, type "reset" in the spotlight panel. This will lead you to a more thorough explanation of the reset command.
If there are specific instances where the auto-fill information is not accurate or helpful, you can remove that data without throwing away everything else by going to Safari Preferences>Auto-fill>Other forms>Edit. There, you can remove specific entries without losing the entire database.

Ok to Delete the Contents of the Render Files Folder?

Hello Hello
I remember from using various PC Video Editing programs that each program established for itself a 'Render Folder', or sometimes called an 'Auxiliary Folder'.
This folder contained the contents of the previously rendered files as they related to a particular DVD burned project. Once rendered, the files were there to sort of help reduce the process time, (render time), required to burn another DVD disc.
In FCE HD, there is also a folder called 'Render Files', and also another folder called 'Audio Render Files'. Naturally the contents of these folders could easily amount to 2 gigs or more depending upon the project size.
Well - (aside from increasing Re-Rendering Time in regard to a new DVD burn), is it safe to delete the contents of the 'Render Folder' in an effort to free up hard drive space?
Thanx
Mike

Hi Mike,
You may have a couple of things mixed up.
In FCE the Render Files and Audio Render Files folders hold the render files produced by FCE. FCE uses those render files when you play the timeline, print to video or export a movie. You can delete them at any time because you can always re-render in FCE. However, you do need to be careful at the point when you export a movie from FCE (for example, to use in iDVD)
If you export to a QT Self-Contained movie, all the media for the movie you export (including rendered video & audio) is incorporated into the resulting QT movie file. Assuming a successful export, you no longer need the FCE render files.
However, if you export to a QT Reference movie, you need to keep the FCE render files available when you import your project into iDVD and build your DVD structure. When iDVD encodes & multiplexes to burn your DVD, it will use the QT Reference movie, which in turn uses the FCE render files (and your original media).
In iDVD, after you burn your DVD, you have the option of keeping the 'rendered assets'; these are iDVD render files and are inside your iDVD project file; they are not the FCE render files.
If you really want to save time burning subsequent DVDs, in iDVD you should Save As Disk Image (instead of Burn DVD), which gives you a completely finished, fully encoded & formatted DVD disk image. You can then use the Finder, Disk Utility or Toast to burn additional DVDs for only the burn time, you won't have to go through iDVD's menus & re-rendering just to burn an additional DVD.

Finder Content not updating with files on SMB mount

I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on a Mac Mini. I work in Adobe Lightroom 4 and Photshop CS6 with files hosted on a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate, and access these files via an SMB mount on the Mac. Both machines are up-to-date on their respective updates.
This worked fine up til recently, when I started noticing Finder contents don't necessarily update when the files change on the SMB-mounted filesystem. For example, if I create a new file, say, using Photoshop, and save the file, then try to see the file in Finder (so I can copy it to another location), the file doesn't show up. Force-quitting Finder & restarting it causes the new file to appear, but this is a temporary fix, as the problem sometimes recurs again when I create more new files.
It seems like this problem appeared after the 10.8.2 update, as I never noticed it with earlier releases. Have any of you seen this? I do my SMB mounts via the "Connect to Server (CMD-K)" dialog. Would I be better off mounting it from the command line with some specific options?
Thanks in advance...

Try deleting this file: com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. See if that helps...
Seems to me that Adobe is very picky about where the files are kept on the hard drive. You might not want them in the Sidebar. Whenever you do an Adobe software update, the installer needs the path to where those files go. If it's missing in action, it can wreak havoc.
Make sure when you do Adobe updates, if there is a link included or a Read Me file, check that out first before installing anything.
Run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER any software updates:
Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

I accidentally deleted the contents folder of BootCamp

Ok so I was trying to install windows 7 through Bootcamp using an USB and iso file. But somewhy in my Bootcamp there wasn't the option for it so I downloaded an alternative contents folder which allowed me to do so. After I got to the part of partitioning my drive it was taking a very long time, and hour or so. So I decided to shut down my mac and repair the drive so it was as before.
Afterwards I thought of a reason why it did not succeed and came to the conclusion that because I downloaded the Bootcamp of somewhere. So I deleted the contents folder I downloaded from the internet and tried to find the old one but then realised that I deleted that too. So now Bootcamp does not work at all. So I am wondering where could I download Bootcamp or is there some sort of update that would restore it?
Thanks.

Reinstall OS X. That is the only way to fix what you messed up.
Simple fact is you Can NOT install Windows on a Mac that came with a DVD drive any other way then using the Built in DVD drive. Apple has limited all Mac that come with internal DVD drive to only install Windows from that internal drive.

Can I recover earlier version of Powerpoint presentation? I accidentally deleted the content and then (DOH!) saved it.

EIGHT hours into a Powerpoint presentation. Wanted to delete the content of a particular slide. Did a "command +A" (select all), hit delete...and then like a complete idiot, saved it, thereby overwriting all of the content. The file itself has not been deleted...now it's just a blank presentation with all content MIA. Previous to this screw up, there were 49 versions. Is there a way I can find the last version before my DEFCON LEVEL: BLONDE moment???

Not unless you have Time Machine running and can recover an older copy from there

Iphoto has just deleted the contents of the last album i uploaded by unexpectedly closing whilst viewing photos. It is also refusing to recognise "flagged" photos. any ideas?

iphoto has just deleted the contents of the last album i uploaded by unexpectedly closing whilst viewing photos. It is also refusing to recognise "flagged" photos. any ideas?

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.

Cant delete orphaned content type, it says : "The content type is part of an application feature."

I created site from existing site template that previous vendor working with company created. I could figure that they saved site as template and when you do that sharepoint creates sandboxed solution. When I create site based on that template, it adds orphaned
content type and when I try to delete it, it gives error : "The content type is part of an application feature.".
I looked on internet but solutions dont seem to fit in my scenario.
Following are possible solutions I read on net.
1) Deactivate feature that has content type and all dependencies for content type and then delete content type --- In my case there is no feature in feature galary that you can deactivate as it is part of site template.
2)Get the WSP and edit in visual studio, I am working on client machine and I do not have access to sharepoint server. When I try to create new visual studio project with "Import sharepoint solution package", it says Sharepoint server is not installed
on this computer. I tried to get Microsoft.Sharepoint dll from Microsoft virtual lab but I can only work on web client and windows client doesnt work. Web client is not letting me copy files into my local desktop.
Any suggestions ? I just need to take that content type out and generate WSP and upload it back

Below is how I recreated problem , my findings and solution to this problem (Everything is done through Sharepoint UI)
Problem :
Create site and create custom content type using sharepoint UI.
Save site as template.
Use above template to create new site.
New site contains orphaned content type, when you try to delete that unnecessary content type sharepoint gives error: The content type is part of an application feature. Sharepoint will not let you delete this content type.
Delete original site from which template was created.
Findings:
When you save site as template, sharepoint creates and activates Sandboxed solution in solution gallery of Root Site.
Sandbox solution has same name that you gave when saving site as template.
Activation of Sandboxed solution adds feature having name of original site from which template was created, and this is Site Collection Feature. I could not find any site feature for it and also I could not find any site feature for custom content type
as well. I think when you create content type through Sharepoint UI, it doesnt create site feature for that.
Deactivating site collection feature for that site template doesn't let you delete that orphaned content type from newly created site.
Solution:
If you deactivate Sandboxed solution from Solutions gallery, it will remove corresponding site collection feature as well as that orphaned content type from site. Reactivating that solution doesn't add orphaned content type back to newly created site.
Above process only deletes orphaned content type from newly created existing site but you will have same problem when you create more new sites from that site template.
I would say once your problem is fixed with deleting content type, solution is to replace site template. In this way newly created sites wont have same problem again.

Deleting itunes content from my imac

My IMac was full mostly from my Itunes library. I moved the contents from my Mac to a WDC drive. How do I delete the content still on my Mac without deleting it from my WDC drive?

Sorry but I can't play that link with my computer. If that link tells you to move your library by changing preferences then that link isn't really telling you how to move your whole library, and is titled incorrectly. Your library is more than just media files, and media's all you moved to the external. Yes, you could just delete those from your internal drive but don't delete the other critical library files or you really will break your iTunes collection.
What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660

Again, make a backup of your computer first. If you don't have a backup of all your files (those on the external too) in at least two locations then worry about losing files in this situation is only a starter. You could start your computer tomorrow and find it is all gone, 100%.
