Deleting Vaults that have nothing in them

I have some Vaults on another HD but they don't show up in the Aperture Interface so I can't delete them. It says there locked. When I do a "Get Info" and unlock them in the "get Info" menue, there still locked. I can tell there's nothing in them because the size is only 4k. How do I delete them?

    I want to delete photos that have been copied from my computer to my i-pad,i can delete albums but not phots?

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

    how do i retrieve deleted items that have been deleted by mistake ?

    If they’re not in a backup, try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

    OS X Server Wikis - How do i delete people that have left the office?
    Some people participated in the editing of the wiki and they have now left the office. How do i remove them and their documents from the People page?
    Thank you.

    Should be able to do so from the Users pane (select the user then click the "-" below the list of users. That worked for me with all but one out of five users I deleted. No matter what, their Wiki person page remained, so I hid it from view.
    Sorry I couldn't provide more conclusive help.

    Hello. I hope someone can help. I have an iPod Touch 8G that I am trying to keep the music playlists from, adding them to what is on my Mac. I had work done on my Mac, and as a result, the original playlists in iTunes were deleted. I have recreated them using the Music Library, a long arduous process of thousands of songs! I would really like to have both, so I could manually combine playlists. How do I do this, not losing either set of playlists?
    I enabled Home Sharing and iCloud.
    Many thanks!

  • How do I delete videos that have been imported from iPhoto?

    Somehow I imported to iMovie 11 all the videos I have in iPhoto and they've been broken down into clips (thumbnails?). I don't want those videos/clips in iMovie or on my hard drive at all! (I just want to keep the originals in iPhoto.) How can I actually delete them rather than hiding/moving them? I've tried highlighting them and using Delete or Command/Delete, but that doesn't seem to work.

    iMovie does not have a physical copy of your clips. They reside in the iPhoto library and iMovie references them there. You have to delete them in iPhoto. But be careful, that is your only copy.
    You can prove this to yourself by right-clicking on one of your iPhoto event clips in iMovie and selecting "REVEAL IN FINDER". It should take you to a folder within iPhoto.

  • When deleting photos that have double and or tripled they have not deleted-

    Ok I have posted here once before and have never resolved my problem and would really like to try and get resolved some how. I have four apple computers in my home network 1 eMac 1GHz, 1 G4 dual Processor 867MHz, 2G5 1.6GHz, 1.8GHz iMacs. All them have double if not triple photos from the same photo files from our external Hard drive that we have connect to our Apple air port extreme 802.11. now inside the external hard drive shows only one file that we all back up onto. But everyones machines were fine for awhile after doing a clean install of operating system. After a while slow but surely everyones machine started getting double and triple photos. all the same with the same id info. So I found a discussion on here before how to try and remedy this problem, but seems to have no effect and now my photos on all the machines are quadrupling for some reason cant figure it out but would like to get this fixed. I also would like to remove photos that have been deleted and clear up needed storage space.

    Do I undertsand you correctly? You are trying to share a library across 4 machines and you keep getting duplicates - or more?
    How have you this sharing set up? How do the various iPhotos access the pics? Do they have a single shared library? Or 4 seperte libraries sharing a single pool of pics?
    As much detail as possible please, but it sounds like there iPhotos are re-importing pics rather than actually sharing.
    Regards

  • Deleteing files that have been downloaded by Software Update Service

    I have an XServe that is set to download the latest updates from Apple, and the the workstations pull the updates from the machine. I noticed the XServe was running out of space. I had a look and found that over 11GB of files are sitting in the following destination:
    Macintosh HD/usr/share/swupd/html
    These look like all the software updates that have been downloaded.
    How do I delete these files? If I had to just delete the files in this destination would it affect anything? I don't see anywhere in the software update service to delete the files it has downloaded.
    Also by looking at the machine, the System Drive is 80GB, and the Software updates are 11GB's. And I only have 2GB's left on the machine. I have made all the invisible files visible, but still cannot see where all the other data is sitting.
    I have used the WhatSize app and still cannot find the remainder files taking up all the space?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    What happens if you use a "offline browser" like HTTrack and
    open these
    files in DW?

  • Delete rows that have been dropped in a CDC flow

    Post Author: sgsampey
    CA Forum: Data Integration
    A newbie question:
    I have a source table called Events with (significant) fields that look like:
    EventIDEventNameBeginDateEndDateDaysOfWeekModifyDate
    These data ranges can be quite long, and there's an exception table if the Event isn't being held on a given day
    ExceptionIDEventIDExceptionDate
    I need to flatten this data into a target Event_Instance table of individual days:
    EventInstIDMasterEventIDEventNameDateDayOfWeek
    I'm going to populate the target by combining Event source (filtered by modify date to only grab updates and additions) with a SQL table that creates a range of days, join that with the exception table, and filter based on no match in the exception table. That part's easy.
    The problem I'm having is what do do when an Exception is removed or updated (Events are never removed - just canceled). There's no ModifyDate to look at. I know I need to create a buffer table to track changes, but once I identify execptions (in a Query Transform) that have been added since the last ETL, I don't see how to remove those Event_Instances. The two only solutions I can come up with is to wipe the entire Event_Instance table and rebuild with every ETL, or to add an 'action' field to Event_Instance, updateit to 'D' for those rows that need to be removed and then execute a SQL command to delete those rows once done.. I know there must be a better, incremental way to do this. TIA!

    Your Mobileme galleries should be listed in the library pane on the left. How about creating a new album in the main library and dragging the images from a gallery to the album. Then delete the gallery and recreate it from the album.

    When using Messages between iPhones with IOS 5 (provided you have in Settings > Messages > iMessage > ON and Receive At > your phone number), your text should appear in a blue bubble because it's delivered by Apple server whereas green is normal SMS delivered by your cell carrier.
    If in Messages conversation list you only sees her number instead of her name then there something not configured correctly on her end. 
    Do you have her contact in your Contacts app? I supposed you do.

  • I need to delete programs that have been duplicated after the software update has been done.  The computer won't delete them.  Anyone else having this problem and if so, how do I delete the old program after it's been updated.

    After upgrading software, it appears the old software isn't deleted.  My computer hard drive is almost full so I need to delete a ton off of my computer.  When checking the software that can be deleted I noticed I can the old software hasn't been deleted.  How can a person do this?  Any suggestions on how to quickly dump some programs.

    Sig is right — reclaiming space on your hard drive should be a matter of looking for the largest files you can delete, not starting with applications. I have 200+ applications on my hard drive, and altogether they occupy less than 14GB of space. Just a handful of them — Acrobat Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Adobe Media encoder — are larger than 500MB apiece, and if I disposed of all of those, I'd only get 5.6GB back. My Utilties folder contains 78 apps, and it only amounts to 1.1 GB.
    If you have any feature-length movies on your hard drive, those should be the first things you trash or move to an external drive.

  • When checking the icloud control panel I noticed that there is no 'mail,contacts ect' option to activate, it just indicates to go to the icloud, so cannot update. When I go to the icloud, these apps have nothing in them from my phone.

    When trying to back up to icloud from phone, have followed instructions but there is no option to select the tick box for mail, contacts, calendars and tasks. It just refers me to the icloud. When I go to the cloud, the only thing that's backed up is my contacts. Any ideas?

    I meant to say when in the control panel!
