Erased some files

erased some files for Isync for I disk Can I reload just these from the Snow leopard update? Cant empty trash because some google app is in there? I think that is because I started erasing some things
have to stop backup too because it is just annoying since I dont have enough space. I have time machine anyway so what is the difference?
P{leas help

Thanks for the response. The quick fix was shut down and erase. It cleaned the trash.
The little "umbrella" that looks the Travelers insurance says back up always comes on and how do I stop that? Its annoying and says I dont have enough space on mobile me anyway.......
something cam on about console? and I was eliminating so of those items and then I say it had to do with ISYNC. I dont think I ever really sued Isync? at least not on purpose
I use time machine every so often with a western Digital passport for MAC (detach it just in case God forbid someone breaks in and steal the MAc)
I really appreciate your help and insight.

I erased some files in my cloud can i have it back ???

Hi i erased some files in my cloud can i have it back?? thank you ????

Hi Alexandra,
Unfortunately, once files have been deleted from your Acrobat.com account, there's no way to recover them. But, when you uploaded your files, the copies on your computer remain, so perhaps there are some copies on your computer?
Best,

My computer is saying start up disk full, erase some files.

Hello I'm looking for help to fix my disk full problems. I want to use an external hd. but not in the time machine way, which as i understand erases older things. I want what I put on there to stay there.
Can anyone tell me how to check where the disk use is heavies so i can erase that part. Any help with managing disk space would be much appreciated.

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

I erased some logic files ...can I get them back?

Hi all,

They might still be in the song local trash - that would explain why they don't show up in the deleted files.

Wha can I do?

More RAM would help 4 GB is about the minimum required. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

Can't copy some files from FileVault Sparsebundle in Time Machine backup

I've got filevault turned on for my mac Mac Mini (10.6.2). I'm using Time Machine to back up to a firewire drive. There's plenty of space - my Mini hd has 250 Gb of 500 used, and I'm backing up to a 750Gb partition on the external drive. The initial backup went OK, and when I logged out it backed up my filevault-protected home directory. When I logged back in, I was able to browse the Backups.backupdb on the external drive, go to the users directory, and open the sparsebundle that was my filevault-protected home directory (after entering the password). I can browse through this backup of my home directory. However, when I try copying files from the backup of the home directory, I get an error:
The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "(filename)" can't be read or written. (Error code -36).
I get this error for some files, but not all of them. I've tried running BatChmod to reset permissions on all files in my home directory, and then erasing the backup drive and having Time Machine recreate the backup. However I'm still having this problem.
I have also tried restoring the entire hard drive (to a 3rd external HD) by booting from the 10.6 DVD and going through the full-restore process. All of my files are fine when I restore using this method.
Is there something I should do so that I can restore individual files from the backup of my filevault sparsebundle? It is extremly inconvenient to have to do a full hard drive restore if all I want is a file or two, and of course if the motherboard on my mini dies and I can't get a close enough replacement computer, then I could really be up a creek.
Thanks,

Don't try to restore files individually by hand using finder. TM backups are protected by very restrictive ACLs and are not designed to be accessed that way.
you can restore the whole sparse bundle with the home directory from TM interface. you should be logged in as a different user when you do this. the easiest is to be logged in as root so as not to deal with any permissions issues.
another thing you might try is doing it from command line instead of finder. this is also not the designed way but might work where finder copy doesn't.
to do this run the following terminal command after you mount the sparse bundle with backups of the home directory
ditto --noacl path/to/source/file /path/to/target/directory
here path/to/source file is the path to the file in the sparse bundle you want to restore and path/to target directory is the path to the folder where you want to copy it to. an easy way to get the path to an item is to drag that item to the terminal window. make sure that you have all the spaces correctly in the command.
It is extremly inconvenient to have to do a full hard drive restore if all I want is a file or two, and of course if the motherboard on my mini dies and I can't get a close enough replacement computer, then I could really be up a creek.

Some Files Cannot Be Moved

I had to kill my old partition because it was only 32 GB, and now I get the error "Your hard drive cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved." I've defragged my HD, deleted some large files, and done pretty much everything I can think of to get this working. I downloaded Disk Inventory X to see how fragmented my HD is, but it shows a block of empty space (93 GB, though I have 100 free I assume the rest is scattered). I still get this error no matter what I try. Boot Camp suggests that I back up my entire computer to an external HD, then restore it to my internal HD. 1-That is absurdly risky and I don't think it is a good idea, but I would anyway if 2-I HAD AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. Apple sells this software, but when somebody tries to use it they tell them to go out and spend $150 on an external Hard Drive. That is not OK. Does anyone else have any ideas I can try?

Hi Boondocksftfw, (and anyone enquiring about the error "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.")
I've had this same problem on two macs now.
The first time it happened, I solved it somehow but couldn't recall - I think it may have been fluking a partition size that worked.
That didn't happen second time around so I googled and found many forum tips, some that I tried, to no avail.
These included, defragging the harddrive (which took 6 hours for my 250gb HD!), performing maintenance with Onyx, and one that I didn't try but most people attempt - backing up your HD and reinstalling Macosx.
I tried to partition the drive manually with Disk Utility just for one last hurrah and unlike Boot Camp, it gave me more information as to why this couldn't be done - "error 0".
I googled this and found that it meant the HD was having problems and needed to be repaired (I think it is a filemapping error caused by erasing the partition) - I verified this in Disk Utility so then booted off an external HD and successfully repaired the internal HD. Now Boot Camp Assistant works with any given partition size!
Hope this will work for you or any other readers!

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

How can I install again Ae as a prove, if I have accidentally erase the file app?

Yesterday I installed Ae as a trial, but accidentally I erase the file from my computer, CC obviously recognize that the app is already installed, I don't know how to make CC let me install it again as a trial, or if the app is still some where in my computer

Drive no longer being used by time machine: delete some files?

Tried unlocking and allowing myself to read and write. Nope. Tried holding down the option key. Nope.
This drive is no longer being used by time machine and I want to delete some files on it.
Is there a way to do it without wiping the entire drive?

It wasnt a dedicated backup and there's other material on it that I need to keep.
That's a problem (as you've discovered). Time Machine works best if it has it's own, exclusive partition. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #3 for details.
Aha! Just found THIS. I'll post if it works. http://www.celiamania.com/wordpress/?p=1038
That will let you delete individual backups, or all backups of selected items.
If you don't have room to copy the "other" stuff elsewhere while you erase the disk, you can delete the Backups.backupdb folder. Emptying the trash will take a very long time, and may give you permissions and/or locked file problems. If so, see #E6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

I am receiving a notification that says that I am running out of storage space. I backed up time mating to an external hard drive. Can I delete some files to make room?

I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
If so,
When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?

About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space.

How do i transfer some files and applications to and make my ssd a bootable drive

I have a mbp 2009. i'm using the owc data doubler - installing 250gb ssd and keeping my 250 HDD. I want to transfer some apps and files from the HDD to the SSD and make the SSD the bootable drive. I'm not too familiar with teh inner-workings, so i'd appreciate a step-by-step instruction

First - if you want to have the SSD as your boot drive, put it in your hard drive bay and put your hard drive in the optical bay. MacBook Pros 'expect' the boot drive to be in the main bay - not the secondary bay.
After you've made the swap, hold down the option key whilst booting and select your hard drive to start up. Once you've booted, use Disk Utility to format the SSD ("Mac OS Extended (Journaled)") with a single GUID partition. Now you'll be ready to start moving things around.
The best thing you can do - since the HD and the SSD are the same size - is simply to use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your 'old' drive to the SSD. Then you can boot from the SSD, erase (reformat) your hard drive and then move any files on the SSD that you want on your HD. If I were you, I would try to keep most of your music, photos & other docs on the HD and your applications, etc., on the SSD. DO NOT just move your entire user directory to the HD as there are likely some files that are expected to be found in your user folder (the user Library, etc.).
Easy enough?

HT4818 When I try to partition my hard drive for Windows 7, I get an error saying The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro I believe and I really need assistance as soon as possible.

I have Windows 7 Premium Home and I have downloaded the Drivers and when I click Boot Camp Assistance to partition my hard drive, it says, "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again." I can't do any backup really because I don't have an external hard drive to work with. I tried repairing disk permissions but that did not do anything. I really need a lot of help with this with some easy, step-by-step tutorials or something. I believe I have a 2006 version of Macbook Pro(4,1).

Once you have obtained an external drive and connected it you will 'clone' your internal drive to it.
Download Carbon Copy Cloner (it is not free but there is a fully functional trial version which is). Use it to clone your internal drive to your external drive. When that is done you will reboot from the clone and use Disk Utility to erase the internal drive (choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) as the format (this is normally preset, but check). Make sure to give the external drive a 'distinctive' name, don't want to get drives mixed up in this process.
Once that is done you will use Carbon Copy Cloner (from the clone) to restore the external to the internal.

Bootcamp - The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.

I know what you're thinking; this question has been posed before. But my circumstances are different.
Sooo I bought a brand new Macbook Pro 15" Retina, late-2014 model on Monday. After some initial setup (moving my music, downloading programs etc.) I moved onto the last thing I needed to do - set up bootcamp (primarily for gaming I admit).
Specs: 2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
1TB PCIe-based Flash Storage - In total the files I moved onto it left me with about 890GB free on the HD.
At this point I had made sure everything was updated as far as I was aware.
I received the error message "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved." I was trying to make a 151GB partition but also tried going down to 40GB and received the same message. I tried several solutions I found online including booting in cmd+s and typing in some codes, I checked the disk with disk utility and it was fine.
Nothing much for it and I was feeling lazy, I backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner (I much prefer this program to time machine) and reformatted. Clean install of OSX Yosemite and the Macbook looked like it had just come out of the box. Before I even attempted to restore using CCC I started up bootcamp again: same error. With essentially a brand new Macbook Pro right out of the box, near to 1TB HD space free.
I've taken it to the local Apple store but they "Don't have any support for bootcamp in-store" and I'm out of the house for 12 hours a day with work (I'm actually at work now). Plus you know, I require food and such, so I don't get much time to get in touch with Apple support directly.
The guy at the Apple store recommended Parallels or Visualbox; note that I want to use bootcamp. I like the extra power and I have a copy of Windows 8.1 from a previous Macbook Pro that worked wonderfully through bootcamp. This should work as far as I am concerned and I don't want to accept anything less to be honest.
Any ideas?

Hi Loner T,
Thanks for your suggestion, however I did a step wrong and I am facing another bigger problem.
Step 1 was to use time machine to backup OSX, looks like I failed to do that, and only backed up the data instead. Because after I erase my internal disk, I cant restore from TM.
So now the situation is that I can't access my HD, can't reinstall Mac to that hard disk (it is not detected), Cant use DU to repartition the hard disk as well, option not selectable.
What can I do now?

I erased some podcasts long ago... but smart playlists still find them!

This one... I don't know how long I've had it. I am running iTunes 8.1, but I doubt that has anything to do with this oddity.
I have some old podcasts that I erased long ago. I did not erase some Smart Playlists that find those podcasts. I just noticed those playlists, and found that I can click on the supposedly deleted items... and play them. But I can't find them using a search in iTunes!
How can that be????? They're not in Music, not in Podcasts (where they used to be), not in audiobooks... they do NOT show up when I type part of their name in the search box. But they DO show up when I click the Smart Playlist, and they do show up when I search my hard drive, exactly where they would be if they had never been deleted:
user/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts/folder for the specific batch of podcasts
I suppose I can get rid of them once and for all by hunting them down on the disk and trashing their original files... but why are they still around???

When you hit the delete key on an item in your library, a dialogue window appears with three options: Cancel, Keep File, Move to Trash. If you simply hit the return key, you've opted to Keep File (that's the default setting). This will remove the item from the library but keep it in your files. Perhaps when you deleted you didn't opt to move the items to the trash.

Erased some files
