Does iTunes delete the entire iTunes folder...

Basically I did a reinstall (complete uninstall first) of iTunes because it was playing up, I assumed that iTunes wasn't going to delete anything just like any other media player wouldn't if uninstalled...
I read some rather disconcerting posts that it does, and also many which said it didn't. I am not so worried about my music as I actually deleted the iTunes copies of that anyway, but am concerned about other users on my computer who used iTunes as I don't know if they kept the originals handy...

Hey there,
Deleting the iTunes application will not delete the music that is stored elsewhere on your computer. You should have no worries and feel confident that your music is still safely stored. If you don't feel convinced, go ahead and make sure of all it is backed up somewhere where you know it will be. Hope this helps.

On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?

They were initially setup with the smae Apple ID but when you delete the iCloud account from the phone you disassociate iCloud items on your phone.
If you want to rid the device of the Apple ID completely you will need to sign out in seceral places:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Settings > Messages > Turn off iMessage
Setings > FaceTime > Turn off FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
Settings > Game Center > Apple ID > Sign out
Note: You can keep the iTunes & App Stores sign in to share purchases without any effect on anything else
You should consider getting your own Apple ID.

How can I delete the All Imported folder on my ipad (imported from an SD card)

When traveling, I import all of the pictures I take each day into the photos app to view the day's results, and provide a back up copy. I then return the SD card to my camera for the next day's use. In this way, at the end of my trip, I have all of my photos on both my SD card (or cards) and also my ipad. When I return home, I load all of my photos into Photoshop on my PC for storage and editing.
I then wish to delete the entire All Imported folder from my ipad. I have not found a way to do this. I could theoretically individually select each photo and then delete them all. This is impractical, however, since I have thousands of pictures on my ipad by the ende of the trip.
I seems to me that there must be a way to delete the entire imported folder, but I can't find it. I can delete folders that I manually create using the edit function, but this doesn't work for the imported folders.
I haven't been able to find a solution on the community or using google. Any help will be appreciated.

The iPhoto App can select all of the photos in the All Imported folder and delete them.

I cannot fully uninstall iTunes because I am unable to delete the commonfiles\apple folder

I received error 42404 after updating to itunes 11, and have attempted to follow the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. However, my Vista will not let me delete the commonfiles\apple folder. How can I delete it?
The day of iTunes 11's release, I updated my iTunes, then opened up the prgm to take a look at it. I was immediately brought to the attention that the program didn't install correctly (with error 42404), so I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, with the same error coming up. I continued to use iTunes and see if i could ignore the issue, however I discovered I was unable to log into my itunes acount on the store.
So I followed the isntructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 correctly, deleted the remaining files/folders, except I am still unable to delete the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. I attempt to delete it, it asks me for permission to do so, I say continue, and even after I give it permission to delete the folder, it instantly says to me, "You need permission to perform this action," and it gives me the options to cancel or try again (which immediately brings this same window up again asking me to try again).
I've done plenty of research for the past two days, from attempting to delete the individual files within this folder via the Command Prompt, using Safe Mode, and many other options, yet nothing works. I've seen many forums advise using a program called "Unlocker," however, anyone googling the program will find that it is offered from a plethora of various sites, and I honestly dont trust programs from these sites.
Is there ANYTHING anyone knows to do for an issue like this? All I need is that one folder deleted, and all my problems are gone!

It still didn't work...
Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources
iCloudServices.resources
ShellStreams.resources
Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
thanks!!

Place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

Have you changed the options for Mail Box behaviour in the Mail prefereces? If the option "Store sent mail on server" is disabled, you will not see a "Sent" mailbox. Enable it again, if it is no longer checked. This has to be set for each account in the "Accounts" tab of the Mail Preferences panel.

Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?

Judy-
If Private Browsing doesn't do it, try Settings-Safari-Advanced-Website Data-Remove All Websitre Data.
Or changing Settings-Safari-Autofill to OFF.
You might also try Settings-Safari and Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
As you can see, there are several controls for Safari. Which one works depends on what your problem is.

My understanding is that music syncing is a one way process from computer iTunes to your iPhone. I think what you are asking is to have IOS synching back to an OSX or PC system. The software doesn't work that way.
You either have to uncheck the songs to be synced or create a separate playlist for "BC Canada iPhone" and only sync that playlist.
As well any purchases you made on your iPhone need to be transferred to your iTunes so they can come back to your phone when you re-sync.
Hope this helps, even though it's not the answer you might have wanted.

How can i deleted the entire entries of my calendar

I noticed that i've multiple entries in my both macbook pro (Lion OS) and iphone 4. So these what I did to solve the problem.
1. Using my iCal from my MBP to delete all the multiple entries.
2. Syn my iphone 4 and selected the calender and click on iTune INFOR on ADVANCED and click "Calendars" (Replace information in this iPhone - During the next sync only, iTune will replace the selected information on this iPhone with information from this computer."
3. Nothing happened.
4. Syn once again - Still nothing happened.
So i'm enquiring how can I delete the entire calendar entries from my iPhone so the next time syn it will syn with my iCal.
Pls advice, or there's a better way in solving the problem.
Thank you.

DEFAULTY CITY? CALENDAR? HUH?
I am not quite sure what you are asking, but there's this:
Your location for time purposes is set in System Preferences, Date & Time, Time Zone tab.
If you are using iCal, there is a Time Zone option in iCal Preferences, Advanced.

Did you remove the entries from your library, or just the physical files?
Delete the entries, close and reopen iTunes, select iTunes Store in the left column, then Purchased in the quick links section. Your missing songs should be listed under Music > Not on his Computer.

Is it safe to delete the cache file folder from library

is it safe to delete the cache file folder from library ?

As I understand it Robo doesn't really 'do' third-party
source control. We use SourceGear Vault, but really only as a
repository for the files. We can't really work concurrently because
Robo needs exclusive access to the top level project files. But it
kind of works for us, because we're on opposite sides of the globe.
I see what you're saying on the 'local' versions of (say) the
cpd files conflicting. If anyone else has an informed view, I'm all
ears. We've set it up this way ourselves - I don't know of anyone
doing the same. If someone tells me this is a bad idea, I'm happy
to think again.
Cheers!

Migration assistant now seeing my User file only back ups on my time machine, nor am I able to drag the entire user folder to my new desktop.

I cannot recover my system on a clean install when I try to either use migration assistant or drag and drop of my backed up user profile. I did not back up anything else. I can see the file on my external drive but migration assitant does not see it as a restore and when I drag and drop the file to my desktop, the system informs me I do not have permissions to transfer all of the files.
What can I do?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Rats. It's awful that Apple doesn't warn folks about that.
Since I am not able to use them as backups, what is the best way to restore all of my previous preferences, calenders, notes, adressbook, etc.?
Would it be best to replace each file in the library of the new machine with the coresponding folders of the new machine?
That's going to be difficult, but is about your only option (assuming you have no other backups).
Part of the hassle is, you have to do it "piecemeal" -- you can't just delete the old home folder, or any of the "default" sub-folders (Desktop, Documents, etc.), and drag in the one from your backups -- you'll get a message about it being a required folder, so you can't delete it.
So you'll have to do it with the contents of the sub-folders.
Make a large pot of coffee.
For future reference, many long-time users consider a good backup plan to start with a minimum of two full backups, via two different apps, on two different pieces of hardware. These should be updated regularly.
For "primary" backups, Time Machine (built in to OSX) is quite good. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the FAQ link has some suggestions for "secondary" backups.

When I try to delete a clip, iMovie deletes the entire soundtrack!

I am again trying to edit a library program which we filmed. I'm using our "old" macbook running Mavericks and iMovie 9. This is what happened.
Our presenters had a Powerpoint presentation which they wanted us to integrate into the film. I saved it two ways: as a quicktime movie and as a group of photos in iPhoto. Then I began editing the film as usual. When I got to the Powerpoint presentation, I detached the audio from the film, split the clip, and deleted small segments. I then replaced those segments of film with the photos, which I treated as clips and made the same length as the clips I'd deleted.
It's fiddly work, but it was going well, and I had inserted 50 images when something strange happened. I was preparing to add another one, and split the clip, saved, and deleted as usual. This time, I found that, in addition to a 6.6 second clip, iMovie had deleted the entire soundtrack of the presentation! I can't understand why this is suddenly happening, after doing hours of work with no problem, and I can't understand how to stop it. It's maddening!
What I did: checked the disk and repaired permissions, twice. I also went to terminal and ran the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts. Nothing helped. It's still happening.
The macbook is a 2 GHZ Intel core duo with 2 gigs of ram. I have 26 gigs free on the hard drive.
Can anyone help me? I really need to get this film done, and I have more than 60 images to go!
Mary

"how can I see these green lines to find out where the audio is attached?" In the project timeline as shown in my screen shot in my last post - but as you will see below you don't have to worry about this.
Replacing a clip will avoid deleting any attached audio and ensure that the replacement clip has exactly the same duration, avoiding the sync problem.
However there is a still easier way. Don't split the video at all but simply place the Powerpoint slide stills above the video wherever you want them. They will replace the video below (cutaway clip). Now you can move and adjust the duration of the stills without any risk of loosing audio synchronisation.

Finding multiple strings in a text file and deleting the entire line

Get-Content c:\output-Copy.txt | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'something1', 'something2', 'something3', 'something4' } | Set-Content temp.txt
Above is the program that when it has 1 argument in the -notmatch part will find the specific string and delete the entire line. I need to be able to use multiple strings for my search, I am totally drawing a blank on this and I know its something REALLY
simple but my brain is fried. The above code will work IF i only leave 'something1' and delete the rest. I need to find MULTIPLE matches and remove them all at once, what is a good way to accomplish this.

You can use an alternating regex, like this:
Get-Content c:\output-Copy.txt |
Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'something1|something2|something3|something4' } |
Set-Content temp.txt
[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "
