Empty Cache doesn't remove all files

can't quite find the answer i'm looking for with a google or forum search - perhaps someone can help.
I want to get rid of my entire internet browsing history. I've reset Safari and emptied the cache numerous times, but files relating to old searches keep appearing, but in strange places.
For example, I was doing research for "company X" a while back. After the project completed, I emptied the cache, etc. Doing a mac search (cmd F) for anything related returns no files. However, when I'm using another, unrelated application, say, Photoshop, I'll go to import a file. In the import dialogue box there, if i type anything related to that previous "company X" search, it will appear as a Safari file (along with other files), though it is grayed out and unable to be selected.
So, because these files show up in that import dialogue box, they have to be somewhere on my system, correct? But because i can't find them using Cmd F, and i've already emptied Safari caches, etc, I'm at a loss as to where to find these files and how to get rid of them.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
You can activate Private Browsing from the Safari menu. Safari won't remember pages you visit, search history, or autofill.

File Dialog - How to remove all files pattern in LV 8.x

How to remove "all files" pattern in LV 8.x in the file dialog.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Dany

If it is a security issue, you will probably need to implement a custom dialog and actively filter for file types. No matter what pattern you have showing, the user can type a pattern into the dialog and get anything they want. In addition, file extension is not sufficient to determine file type. You should probably check the file itself to ensure it is an HTML file and does not have any embedded nastiness.
Fortunately, custom dialogs are easy to make. Using the event structure, you can filter inputs as well, so that only HTML files will be accepted. Good luck. Let us know if you need more help.

Snow Leopard finder doesn't list all files on Windows 7 volumes

From my Macbook Pro (10.6.8), I can connect to my Mac Pro, while it is running Windows 7 in Boot Camp, in order to access the Mac Pro's 6 volumes (1 Boot Camp, 5 Mac volumes). This is using SMB via Finder's 'Connect to server…' on an Airport network.
However, Finder never displays all the files and folders on any of the Mac volumes it connects to through Windows 7. It seems to show approximately the first 18-9 files and folders, and then nothing. The same applies when I open a nested folder — it doesn't list all of its contents.
Any ideas as to what's causing this and how I can fix it? I have searched all over but can't find any answers yet, so I'm hoping someone here has seen this before.

Thanks for the reply, but I do have the Restore Windows box checked (see below). And the Resume features info (cnet link) only addresses how to turn the feature off, either selectively or globally. I'm simply looking for the functionality that I had with Snow Leopard and now seems to be absent. Maybe it's a bug in my Finder.

Finder doesn't show all files

When I add new photos to iPhoto, they do not appear as a file or item in Finder Documents list. I thought Finder was supposed to show all files and items that you create?

santra, use EasyFind or Find File instead. BY default, Apple's own Finder/spotlight doesn't search everywhere and doesn't find everything (Mac fanboys will tell you this is a feature and is so intelligent that some people can't understand how smart it is; I prefer to think of it as a defect).
Easyfind is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707
Find File is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10906315
I hope this helps you to find all your stuff.

How Do I remove all File Info after completeing image?

After completing all work on a Photoshop Image - then saving as a jpeg - all the file info still remains (XMP). How do I delete it?

I appreciate your response and your effort to try to help me. This is all stuff I know nothing about, so please bear with me. I clicked on a picture I am ready to post on Behance – and chose “Save For Web”. There is no option to “Remove Metadata”.
There is a box entitled “Metadata:” – but choices are “Copyright” – “Copyright and Contact Info” - “All Except Camera Info” – “All”.
Is there any other way I could check to remove all the info I see when I open “File Info”?
And, what does all that stuff in the Metadata box mean? I would love to look it up for myself – but have no idea where to go to find info about it.
Please help and thank you.

Finder copy doesn't copy all files

I have a dedicated disk for my Aperture masters, and to back this up while also defragging (according to a method described by Kevin J Doyle and Matthew Bergsma on the Aperture forum) I'm simply doing a Finder copy of the masters. I may have made a mistake when I relocated my masters a few months ago, because I put all 40,000 files in a single directory, at the "root" level of the drive.
I've searched around to see if there is a limit to the number of items in a single directory, and saw guesses but nothing definitive.
The problem is that when I try to copy the files, the Finder shows all 40,000 selected, but only copies 10,000 or so. I can't figure out why. If needed I can relocate the masters again into project folders, but I'm very curious why I'm seeing the partial copy.
Rob

I've got the same problem when copying multiple large files from the desktop to a network drive on Windows Home Server (using drag/drop). The files are about 1gb each, and if I copy more than one at a time, at least one will dissapear on the target machine. This is VERY repeatable.
When I watch it closely, I can see temporary files for all files appear, and the number of items, and the total size reported in the copy status on the Mac are correct. In fact, it takes about the correct amount of time for the total size copied. However, when the copy is complete, some of the files on the target drive vanish. There is no error dialog, files just go poof. Dragging the missing files again works, as long as no more than one is copied at a time.
A test with a few small files works fine. This only fails with large files. The total copied is less than 2gb, so this doesn't seem to be a FAT32 problem. There is ample space on the destination drive (over 1Tb free). The Mac is on a wireless 802.11N lan.

Jar -xvf file.war doesn't overwrite all files.

Has anyone else experienced the case when a WAR file created using Netbeans is extracted (jar -xvf file.war) doesn't overwrite all the existing files in the directory with the files contained in the WAR?

Looks like it doesn't always do it or I extracted the war file in another directory and then issued the mv command to move the tree thinking it would replace all files.

Why does firefo not remove all files when uninstalled

When I install all versions of Firefox prior to my current version 13 it does not uninstall all files. Why is this allowed? Why are all files not uninstalled when firefox is removed

Hello Mace
when drag the Firefox application to the "Trash" to uninstall Firefox, does not remove your user profile, which includes personal information such as bookmarks, passwords and cookies, to do that see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer#w_removing-user-data-and-settings Removing user data and settings]
is in here ~Library/Application Support/Firefox
also : Firefox also has a .plist file at ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist to remove too
thank you

JDeveloper doesn't show all files in the directory

Hello,
I think some basic functionalities are missing in JDeveloper, one of these basic functionalities is the importing of files. You can't import existing business components in your project, so you have to put them in a directory physically.
I did it like that and now I'm facing this problem that some file's aren't being shown in the application navigator while I select system navigator, I see that they are in the correct path. I really don't understand why my project doesn't include the files in the application navigator...
Can anyone tell me what's wrong or what to look for?
Thanks.

How to remove all files in a directory in java?

I have tried method delete() of File ,
but no effect!
can anyone help me!
thank you

So, you have a directory and you want to delete all files in the directory. Here is some (untested) code:
File dir = new File("C:\\tempdir");
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; ++i) {
if (files.isFile()) {
files[i].delete();

RemoveAll doesn't remove all elements

Hey All,
I'm having an issue with removeAll not removing all the element every time. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it seems to miss one or two.
I am holding a number of Message objects in a TreeSet, and have other TreeSet's that also contain Message object's.
messages.removeAll(c.getMessageList());
Basically what i have is a message list for each "channel", and an object that can hold the messages of multiple channels in it, so when that channel is enabled, i add the messages from the specific channel, and remove them when they are disabled.
The issue is that some seem to linger sometimes, but then i can play with it for a while, disabling and reenabling the channel, and it will remove the message after a couple tries. I debugged it, and saw that the list i was removing did contain the same object i was removing from, but it didnt remove it.
This is probably really confusing, so please let me know what i need to clarify.
THanks,
Philippe

The weird thing is that the 2 it didnt remove were in the middle of the set. If it was synchronization issues, i'd expect it to be at the end.It's a red-black-tree (balanced), so it makes a some sense. But I'd still expect a call to removeAll() to reset the internal state completely by replacing the root node.
EDIT: I should really be reading the posts completely.. I was thinking about clear(), sorry :d
PS. would it be just as efficent to just recreate the Overall or container set every time, instead of just removing the ones that are no longer enabled, cause that would fix the problem also.Well, marginally less efficient, but generally you don't have the possibility to replace the set whereever it is referenced..
With kind regards
Ben

Finder doesn't find all files

Finder doesn't list all folders in a folder.
The "ls" Terminal command does.
For example, when looking for a group called "Gladys Knight & the Pips" in my itunes library it is not shown in the folder listing using Finder.
Here is a snippet from Finder:
However, when using terminal commands, it is found.
Bobs-iMac:iTunes bobs$ pwd
/Users/bobs/Music/iTunes
Bobs-iMac:iTunes bobs$ ls -aR | grep "Gladys"
Gladys Knight _ Gladys Knight & the Pips

Adobe Bridge Doesn't show all files in a folder

I am using a MacPro with 8GB of Ram and 1TB HD running Mountain Lion. I have a network folder that has about 320 GB of files in it. This is spread out between about 255 different Illustrator files. When I view them in Finder, all the files show up. When I view them in Bridge, I can only get 200 to show up. If I click refresh, it goes to a different number. If I repeat, it changes again. This worked on the old Machine but doesn't seem to work on the New one. I'm guessing its a setting but can't seem to find that particular one. Has anyone ran into this? Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm guessing its a setting but can't seem to find that particular one. Has anyone ran into this? Any ideas?
While Bridge is not assigned for use over a network your problem seems cache related to me. When in a problem folder go to the menu tools / cache / and choose purge cache for folder and see if this helps you.
