Deleting old folder names

I am using Image Capture 4.0 to download photos.  When I plug in my storage device (camera, SD card, USB stick, etc.) Image Capture opens and along with the option to select the download folder, all the names of the folders (grayed out) I have used since I first started using the computer appear.  These are folders I no longer use, but to get to the actual area or folder that I want to download to, I have to scroll past a couple hunderd previous, grayed out folder names.  Once I get to the actual desired folder, I can download to it. But, those annoying, old folder names still appear on the hard drive. Anyway to get rid of them?  Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

When in Image Scan & you click on Scan Setup, what folder is that set to?
If that doesn't help, quit Image Capture & Trash this file...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist

  • Delete Old Network Name

    I bought a new Airport Extreme and set it up with a new network name.  My airport express extenders wont join as they look for the old network name.  How do i delete the old network name?

    You need to hold in the reset button on the AirPort for 10 seconds, then release and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart.
    At that point, the device is back to to factory settings, just like it was when you first took it out of the box.
    Now, it is time to set up the AirPort Express again......like you did the first time.

    Confirm first your reports are transported to BW PRD,if transported successfully to BW PRD.
    Then manually delete report by open that report in query designer by simple choose delete option from  query menu.It will prompt to collect in a request.Keep in mind do not transport that request to BW PRD.Just delete that request in BW Dev system.

  • Deleting Old Corrupt iPhone Backup Folder - Which One Do I Delete

    I am getting the message "iTunes can not backup the iPhone, because the backup was corrupt, or not compatible with the iPhone" whenever i try to backup my iPhone 5s. I have been getting this message since around the end of May 2014 after updating my iOS to 7.1.2.
    I have seen a couple of posts about how to go about deleting an old backup already. After some time, I figured out where to locate the iPhone backups in their original location, because they did not show up in my devices tab through iTunes. I have already located the files under:
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    So I did manage to get this far, but now I have come across a handful of folders that are full of files, all named with a bunch of alphanumeric characters. There are some backups of devices that I do not need to delete, that I don't have physical access to some of the devices at the moment to just delete all of the backup folders and re-backup afterwards.
    My main question is, "How can I tell which backup corresponds to the iPhone having trouble, so I do not delete another backup that I do not wish to lose?"
    If it helps, I am on a Macbook Pro, running OS X Mavericks, and iTunes 11.3.1 (2).
    Please help ASAP, and THANK YOU in advance!!

    First, if you don't have iExplorer yet, you should download it here. Then install it. After installing it open the iExplorer. It is not necessary to plug your device in. Then click the "Browse Local iTunes Backups".
    After clicking it, go to the "Browse iTunes Backup" directory. It will show you the list of backup folders on your computer with a readable folder name i.e. the names of each devices that has backup files on your computer. From there you can now identify which backup folder is yours.

  • Old account name on home folder

    Hi,
    I added a new user account some time ago in Preferences/Accounts. I can't remember all the details now as it was over a year ago but I have removed the old account for the user that did user that Machine so they no longer appear in Accounts.
    I notice that, for the new user of that machine, their home and other credentials still use the old user account name. For instance, the home folder is called using the old account name, Get-info for newly created files/folders shows that they belonge to the old user account name with (me) to describe the permissions.
    Is there a KB article that might help me correct this? I have search but I haven't seen appropriate.
    Thanx in advance.

    maybe these reads can help: one and two

  • I have successfully merged multiple iphoto libraries using iphoto-manager.  Now I have multiple albums noted with the old iphoto names.  CAN I DELETE THOSE?

    Now that I have merged multiple iphoto libraries into one -- can I delete the albums that show up with the old library names?

    You can do what ever you want - in iPhoto albums are simply pointers to photos so deleting an album has no effect except the album is gone - only when you delete from events or photos view is the photo deleted from the library and disk (after you empty the iPhoto trash and the system trash)

  • Enabled FileVault - 24hrs later it's still "Deleting old Home folder"

    So last night I enabled FileVault and told it to securely erase the home folder. Now, I know it was big. I had probably around 90GB in my home folder. Had about that much available on the drive, too. It has been sitting on 'Deleting old Home Folder' since I got up this morning. I started the process about 24 hours ago. Could it really be taking this long, or has it hung? I have backups of everything, so it's not a big deal if I have to cancel it and rebuild my home folder. I just want to know how long I should wait before I throw in the towel.

    If you have a 90 GB home folder, it'll take forever. (And also be INCREDIBLY unreliable-do you really need every single file encrypted with U.S. Department of Defense level security?)
    I recommend you make individual encrypted disk images for the private files.
    Good luck!

  • FileVault: How long does "Deleting old Home folder" take?

    Hello, guys. I'm comparing FileVault and PGP WDE. I enabled FileVault on my MBP about 16 hours ago with about 30GB in my user folder, and it's been ""Deleting old Home folder" for at least 10 hours now.
    I've not been able to find any accounts of how long this is supposed to take. Has anyone actually waited 16+ hours and had the thing complete?
    I understand the pros and cons of using FileVault, but am wondering if the thing is supposed to work.

    I didn't have enough free space the first attempt, and FileVault warned me. I freed up some space and moved some of my personal files to an external drive, and it allowed me to continue, the second time around.
    This is my first FileVault attempt -- I'm really paranoid, and have two backups, just in case it fails!
    I just did a hard reset, and my machine booted up properly. Now, I'll see if it is working OK...

  • Help deleting Windows.old folder.

    Hello.
    I recently installed Windows Vista on my MacBook, however I still have a folder called Windows.old on my drive that I need to delete.
    When I right click on the windows.old folder it says I need admin privelages (which I am logged in as) and willnot delete the folder.
    Any help with this would be appreciated.
    Thank You

    Hi Kenneth,
    I experienced a similar issue a few years ago with a PC laptop and WindowsXP. Basically what it came down to was that something got goofed up when I re-installed Windows, causing the duplicate folder which I was unable to delete. The only way around it was to re-install Windows again. This may or may not be the solution for you. It's hard to say because you have a beta copy of Vista and it could be something else entirely. Good luck.

  • My Mozilla Firefox Browser v15.0 open then some file loading and my desktop display automatically created folder name is old Firefox data then ask me chose two

    ''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/936244 - locking this one''
    '''My Mozilla Firefox Browser v15.0 open then some file loading and my desktop display automatically created folder name is old Firefox data then ask me chose two option 1st is Safe Mode or 2nd is Restore so i chose Restore and then open Mozilla Firefox Browser page Blank Black display page,
    How can i do solve this error plz plz plz plz help me out what you say troubleshooting,error or issue.'''

    Did you perform a Firefox Reset either by clicking the button on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page or via the Safe mode start window?
    You may have gotten the Safe Mode start window as the result of not being able to start Firefox more than once after crashes.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes

    If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more crash reports that have this format:
    *bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the <i>about:crashes</i> page.
    *You can open the <b>about:crashes</b> page via the location bar, like you open a website.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Crash_Reporter#Location_of_crash_reports
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Crash_Reporter#Viewing_crash_reports
    "Reset" creates a new default profile with a time stamp appended to identify it and tries to recover settings like bookmarks and history and passwords and cookies and auto-fill data from the old profile, but you lose data like extensions and other customizations.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once, so you can no longer use the profile manager to revert to the old profile.

  • Account Name field of 4663,4660 displays System Account(FileServer$) instead of userName when Deleting a Folder

    Account Name field of 4663,4660 displays System Account(FileServer$)
    instead of userName when Deleting a Folder : 
    A Folder with files & subfolders are deleted.The following sequence events 4656,4663,4660,4658 are logged for parent folder,subfolders
    and files in the security event log.For parent folder and subfolders events, the Account Name field of event id 4656 displays the user who deleted the folder,but the Account Name field of event id 4663,4660 diplays the SYSTEM account ie)FileServer Name instead
    of username.This is not occuring for files inside the subfolders
    Actually we correlate 4663,4660 with handle id and process id to make sure the file/ folder is deleted.Using this above correlation we
    can not able to find out user ,because it shows servername$ for folder deletions not files.So my question is why windows logging servername$ in 4663,4660 events only for folder deletions.
    The above issue happening only for 
    * parent folder and sub folders and not for files inside them.
    * deletion through network share and not locally.

    HI,
    When you configure the Auditing Entry for the user account on the shared folder,  if the setting is Files only, it might be the cause of your problem . If so, you can try to configure "Apply onto" as The folder, subfolders and files.

  • During an aborted migration attempt from old Macbook Pro to new machine running Yosemite my recently installed apps and settings have been placed in a deleted user folder. How do I reinstate them?

    During an aborted migration attempt from old Macbook Pro to a new machine running Yosemite my recently installed apps and settings have been placed in a deleted user folder. How do I reinstate them?

    I suggest starting over. Boot into Recovery mode, wipe the HD, reinstall the OS, and, on first boot, use the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide to do the migration.'

  • Using old account name after it has been deleted

    I deleted an account because I learned that the only way you could re-name the short name was by deleting the account altogether.
    I had problems deleting the account from the admin account, even afer shutting off "fast users" and "auto login". THerefore, based on some other posts in discussion group, I used applications/netinfo manager/users then deleted the account name.
    I re-started and sure enough the account I was trying to delete, was gone.
    Now, I'm trying to go back and create the account again using the same account name, it own't accept it. I keep getting a message saying "Name is not available".
    I'd like to create an account with the same name. Any suggestions??

    In the NetInfo Manager, look for other instances of that name and delete them from the list of groups as well as from the membership of the remaining groups. Users and groups with a numeric ID below 501 should not be deleted. A tool called ChangeShortName can be used to change the short name of an existing account.
