Does file will be deleted??

i m going to download mavericks but i am afraid that all my important files and photo will be deleted or not after downloading it

As my favorite guru always says:
"Never ever make any major changes without doing a thorough backup first."
That's a rule to live by because NO ONE (Not even Apple) can guarantee that nothing will go wrong during an upgrade.

    Hey ChrisJ4203, thanks for answering buddy , I still have a question.
    I have a passcode for my iPhone, but I don't have the application Find my iPhone. Can I retrieve my photos, notes, reminders and all other data in my iPhone, I mean, if I bought another one, and connect it to my computer and go to iTunes then restore backup, cause I backup my iPhone last Oct 10, 2013, will I recover all the details in my iPhone that was stolen? It's like I'm still using my old iPhone's apps but with a new iPhone. Thanks.

  • Files will not delete

    I have iBook G4 running OS 10.4.11 and I have some files from my cache that will not delete. I have tried using OnyX, secure empty of trash, and option empty trash but nothing works. The files say they are in use. How do I dump these files? Is there software that I should use (besides OnyX)? Or could this be leading to a larger issue? Please help.

    It wouldn't hurt to run Disk Utility and verify your drive and check permissions first, just in case there is something unhappy with your computer.

  • File will not delete out of TRASH

    I have a file in trash that would not delete because it is locked according to the error message. so I placed it back where it was. There is still a copy in trash and it will not disappear. The file is an EXE file but I do not use it anywhere. Any one know how to get it out of my TRASh even if it is not deleted? I just want it out
    TXJACK

    Hi TXJACK,
    You may want to try emptying the trash using Terminal:
    1. Open Terminal (in Applications, Utilities).
    2. Copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window (or type it exactly as follows):
    sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
    3. Press Return.
    4. Type in your password when asked (note: you will not see anything being entered as you type your password).
    5. Hit Return.
    6. Wait until the process finishes/the Terminal prompt returns.
    7. Quit Terminal.

  • File will not Delete

    I have tried to remove a file from my system. I have placed it in the trash can and got an error message so I tried from the terminal. I get the following:
    $ sudo rm -rf 1
    Password:
    rm: 1/1.localized: Directory not empty
    rm: 1: Directory not empty
    I have tried to remove the files contained inside. This is the error in the terminal:
    $ ls
    Tie????ng Vie????t.html
    $ ls -l
    ls: Tiếng Việt.html: No such file or directory
    $ sudo rm -r "Tie\314\202\314\201ng Vie\314\202\314\243t.html"
    rm: Tiếng Việt.html: No such file or directory
    $ sudo rm -rf "Tie\314\202\314\201ng Vie\314\202\314\243t.html"
    I have tried Trash It! and Onyx and I still have not been able to remove the files form my system.
    I have tried to rename the file that is contained in the directory as well as rename.
    When I try to rename I get error code -43
    When I try to change permissiong I get error 213.
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
    This looks like a known problem with certain special characters in filenames. I won't go into tedious detail, since it seems Apple may have fixed it.
    Someone else with this problem manage to cure it by running Repair Disk from the Install disk and then using Secure Empty Trash. I don't know that the "Secure" made any difference, it is the disk repair that counts. If it doesn't work after trying Disk Utility, run fsck instead:

  • Input file should be deleted only after the output file is successful.

    Hi Experts,
    Could you pleas solve the below issue.
                           In  a file to file scenario, the input file will be picked from a directory location and after processing output file will be placed in the output directory location specified in the receiver communication channel.
    In the sender communication channel for the scenario mentioned above, if the processing mode is given as delete, the input file will be delete as soon as the file was successfully read by the adapter, but this will not ensure that the file processing is complete and the output file is being created.
    If we have a scenario in such as way that the input file should be deleted from the input folder only if the complete process is successful and the output is generated. how can we achieve this functionality?.
    And one more thing if we got the successful output the output file should be placed in one folder. and the if the output file is having errors it should be placed in other folder.

    Hi,
    In Receiver communication channel I have used the below command in Run Operating System
    .And I have kept the processing mode of sender communication channel as test.
    cmd.exe: /C "del /Leela/test.xml"
    You are running the comman line program configured in the receiver File Adapter,but in command line you mentioned the Sender File Folder , So i guess it's not getting processed.
    Try this:
    Try to run the command line in the Sender File Adapter Side
    "Place this in " --> Run OS Command After Message Processing.
    Hope this would work and get in parrallel with u r requirement.
    regards
    Srini

  • Files will not save to trash

    When ever I move any file to the trash, or choose delete from the file menu. Snow Leopard always warns me that this file will be deleted immediately and can not be recovered. How do I get the trash to function again?

    I know the trash is not a "storage device". but its engineering design is for quick recovery including app installs.
    Glad you solved the problem. As for quick recovery, I've never come across that, especially WRT to app installs. However, if you're only emptying it once a week, then you're using it as a storage device, which I recommend against. Use bootable backups/clones or TM backups for recovery operations.

  • Please help! My Itunes says corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling so I moved it to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I can't delete or open to close it, what do I do

    Please help!
    My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

    It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
    Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
    I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

  • HT201250 After Time Machine has backed up my files, can I delete my originals from my Mac and do something in Time Machine to ensure it will never automatically delete them from the backup in the future?

    I'm new to using Time Machine - I'm making my first backup right now - and I have a few concerns.
    So let's say my precious photos are taking up most of my Mac's hard drive space. I back them up with Time Machine on an external hard drive. After that, I want to delete my photos from my Mac because I want more space and my photos are now stored in the external hard drive. I have a few questions about that.
    First, does Time Machine's backup system follow the same concept as having extra storage (so would this be a reasonable decision to make)?
    Second, if it does, then could I access/open these photos from Time Machine's backup anytime I want?
    Third, would I need to use the restore backup function of Time Machine every time I want to open my photos are there alternative ways of accessing my photos, like through opening directory paths to the photos?
    Lastly, when the external hard drive becomes full and Time Machine wants to delete my oldest backup files, what can I do to ensure that these photos will never get deleted unless I manually do it? Like, is there a way to lock and secure these files? Or, is it like if these photos are the only copies saved in the backup, I can rest assure that Time Machine will never delete them?
    Thanks

    Since my new external hard drive is have a lot of space, I'm thinking of splitting it for Time Machine and external storage.
    This is a common mistake and I highly advise against it.
    1: TimeMachine saves states of changes and thus requires more room on the TM drive than the boot drive it's backing up.
    2: Something happens to the TM drive, loss, theft, dropped, power surge, etc., you lose both backups.
    3: The storage drive might become a portable need, with it being on the TM drive, now your increasing the risk to the TM backup that something could happen to it along with the storage drive, due to increased movement.

  • Will RMAN delete archive log files on a Standby server?

    Environment:
    Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
    I am currently NOT using an RMAN repository (coming soon).
    I have a Primary database sending log files to a Standby.
    My Retention Policy is set to 'RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS'.
    Question: Will RMAN delete the archive log files on the Standby server after they become obsolete based on the Retention Policy or do I need to remove them manually via O/S command?
    Does the fact that I'm NOT using an RMAN Repository at the moment make a difference?
    Couldn't find the answer in the docs.
    Thanks very much!!
    -gary

    Hello again Gary;
    Sorry for the delay.
    Why is what you suggested better?
    No, its not better, but I prefer to manage the archive. This method works, period.
    Does that fact (running a backup every 4 hours) make my archivelog deletion policy irrelevant?
    No. The policy is important.
    Having the Primary set to :
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBYBut set to "NONE" on the Standby.
    Means the worst thing that can happen is RMAN will bark when you try to delete something. ( this is a good thing )
    How do I prevent the archive backup process from backing up an archive log file before it gets shipped to the standby?
    Should be a non-issue, the archive does not move, the REDO is transported and applied. There's SQL to monitor both ( Transport and Apply )
    For Data Guard I would consider getting a copy of
    "Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" - Larry Carpenter (AKA Dr. Paranoid ) ISBN 978-0-07-162111-2
    Best Oracle book I've read in 10 years. Covers a ton of ground clearly.

    Had the same problem, finally realized that the FileVault Encryption was struck at 19%. Speed back up to normal after I disabled FileVault using terminal command - sudo fdesetup diable
    To check whether the FileVault is the culprit, go to System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> FileVault to see if encryption is in progress.. For me the blue bar was less than a quarter with status 'estimating time remaining'..
    Then open Terminal and type in: sudo fdesetup disable
    It will then ask for the admin password (to be it asked twice), then it was disabled... Back to normal life again..
    Here is my terminal log for reference:
    Last login: Tue Oct 21 23:05:13 on console
    Gowthams-MBP:~ asgowtham$ fdesetup status
    FileVault is On.
    Encryption in progress: Percent completed = 18.80
    Gowthams-MBP:~ asgowtham$ fdesetup status
    FileVault is On.
    Encryption in progress: Percent completed = 18.80
    Gowthams-MBP:~ asgowtham$ fdesetup status
    FileVault is On.

    Gowthams-MBP:~ asgowtham$ sudo fdesetup disable

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:

  • I recently purchased a new iMac with an external drive.  I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac.  Comments?  Help?

    I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive.  I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac.  I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern.  May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure?  Comments?  Help?

    If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.
