Finder - All Movies - same movies, different extensions, can I delete ?

Hi,
Cleaning my HD I go to Finder - All Movies and see the same file in different names and sizes. Like .MOV - .MP4 - IMG_
Same movie can have different sizes / volumes. From 8.5MB up to 55 MB for the same.
I can find them back in Imovie, Iphoto.
Is it useful to delete to create some space on my HD and which one should I delete. Most of them uploaded via an Iphone 4.
Thanks
Speedyf

It all depends how you want to use the files in future, if they are going back to a phone or an AppleTV then keep the .m4v format, if you're going to edit them with iMovie or similar keep the .mov format.
The larger the file the better the quality and resolution most likely so if in doubt keep the 'best' copy and discard the rest (you can always convert them to other formats at a later date if needed)
How did you get multiple formats of the same thing in the first place ?

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I loaded photos to my new iPad2 using iCloud. The photos went in all jumbled up. Now I can't delete them or delete the albums. How can I delete?

I loaded photos to my new iPad2 using iCloud. The photos went in all jumbled up. Now I can't delete them or delete the albums. How can I delete?

Well, typically one of the fixes that I would suggest is to try to delete the waiting icons. WIFi in a public places like McDonalds, Starbucks, B&N, etc. is not the greatest and I would avoid those places for downloading and updating apps. But I do realize that not everybody has access to Wifi in their homes.
These are all things that have worked at one time or another for other users. Hopefull one of them will work for you. Just ignore whatever does not apply or anything that you have already tried.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

I don't have very much space left on my iCloud backup. I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone?

I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone? or does it just delete from iCloud? or does it just delete from the phone? Someone please help!

You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices

Can't import RAW and psd file with same name different extension

Trying to import a folder of images from desktop that I have been working with in Bridge CS3.
LR won't import a RAW file that has a PSD file by the same name. Tried renaming the PSD and deleting the one with the same name, but says it is still there and won't import the RAW file - What is the correct workaround on this? Why can't it import same name files with different extensions?

A forum search for 'RAW + JPEG' will give you more posts on this than you care to read. This will change. For now, import the RAW and PSD's from separate folders and then move them together for within LR.
LR is seeing the RAW as a sidecar to the PSD. It is an unforseen effect of the RAW + JPEG thing where they decided to not import the JPEG, seeing it as basically a preview image for the RAW.

Moving files with same name, different extension (automator?)

I'm trying to find a way to move a large number of files in multiple directories (all at once or directory-by-directory, doesn't matter) if they have the same name but different extensions. For example, let's say I have a photo directory with the following files:
Photo1.jpg
Photo1.raw
Photo2.raw
Photo3.jpg
Photo3.raw
I would like to move the raw files "Photo1.raw" and "Photo3.raw" while leaving "Photo2.raw" in it's current location (as a sign that it doesn't have a JPG counterpart. I'm assuming this can be done using Automator. Can anyone offer some help? Also, it IS likely that the vast majority of files will have a common prefix (similar to "photo" in the above), if that's something that can be used.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have an idea on how to accomplish this?

Once a movie is copied into iTunes, can I delete the file from the folder?

I've copied several movies into iTunes and then sync'd them onto my Apple TV.
My question is: Once I've copied a movie into iTunes, can I delete the movie from its original folder (e.g. the Movie folder) and still have the movie in my iTunes?
More specifically, does "dragging and dropping" the movie into iTunes make a new copy of the movie file so that I can delete the original file? And if I can delete the original file, should I?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks. I'll check and see when I get home tonight. My guess is that that's the setting since my disk space has decreased a lot when I started copying things into iTunes.

ICloud storage full on iphone, but deleted almost everything and grows larger! iPad is fine with same iCloud acct. can I delete iPhone backup then turn it back on without loosing iCloud data?

Icloud storage full. Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
ICloud storage full. I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing iCloud storage. I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet.
Makes no sense. I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage 3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).

ANSWER to my Question above: YES.
I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account). I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew! It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB.
I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available. No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space.
[For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD. Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger. My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.]
(All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.)

Where can I find the Start up disk and how can I delete file from it.

where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
How can I delete files from it?

The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA. You may delete files by draging the file to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete). Then empty Trash.

I had a peek at Rock 'n Rollers birthdays and now I can't delete it. It's all over my iCal and I can't delete it.

Just started using iCal with Mobile Me and just out of curiosity, I had a peek at Rock 'n Rollers birthdays and once it's opened, it goes into your calendar and I can't delete it.
Can anyone help with this? I've tried looking for the .ics file in my downloads and deleted them, but it's still there.
I tried to uncheck the HOME calendar of where it automatically downloaded, and of course there are other events that are in there and if I check it again, they just come back.
It's clogging up valuable space on my calendar.
Please help. Thank you.

Hi,
It is better to subscribe to calendars rather than download them into a local calendar. I have looked at the calendar and the only common element is the text " *" in the title. Below is an Applescript that searches your "Home" calendar and locates events with this text It then gives you an option to delete each one so so you don't delete any 'false positives'.
Copy the script into a new Applescript Editor window (Applications > Utilities > Applescript Editor) and press Run.
Best wishes

128 GB limit Hard Drive - All the same but different

I'm currently replacing a dead drive with a Western Digital Blue 500gb in a G4 2X500. The drive is only reading 128 GB. Normally the answer to the question is you need a card.
My issue: I have another drive attached to a card that's reading 500 gb it's jumped as cable-select (which WD Documentation states the Mac doesn't support.) I've tried several combinations of attaching the drive on the same ribbon to no result. I've also directly attached it to the second ata input on the card. Nothing. I'm running out of ideas (althought I'm thinking of selecting a master/slave combination for the two drives on the same ribbon.)
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

If you formatted it on the Built-in ATA Bus, you probably ran up against the 128 GB limit due to your Hardware pre-dating the mid-2002 Macs mentioned in that article.( I must admit that article is information-dense and takes several readings to sort out how it applies to a particular situation.)
The issue I believe you now face is that different Drivers are used when connecting to the card Vs connecting to the built-in Bus.
When you initialize on the built-in Bus, only the drivers for the Built-in ATA controller are loaded onto the drive. When you look closely in Disk Utility, the active data partition will likely be about slice 3 \[partition 3], and references to it may read something like "disk2s3".
When you connect the drive to the PCI-slot Card, the SCSI driver is typically used. If the SCSI driver is not presnt on the drive \[which may be true in your case] the drive will not mount.
When you initialize the drive in an external enclosure or attached to the card, Drivers for all potential access methods are installed. When you look closely in Disk Utility, the active data partition will likely be about slice 10 \[partition 10], and references to it may read something like "disk2s10".
Once initialized on the card, all the drivers required will be present. But since the drive is larger than the 128 GB limit enforced on your Built-in ATA Bus, moving the drive back to the Built-in Bus will probably preclude mounting any partition that extends beyond the 128 GB barrier. So if you want to move it back to the built-in Bus later, creating a 127.9 GB (or smaller) partition as the first partition would be a good thing to try.

Where are movie downloads stored? And can I delete them after watching?

I downloaded a show to my Android & wanted to move it from internal storage to my sd card but i cannot find where the show is being stored so I can delete after Im done watching... Where is it?

You are unable to move it ( copyright reasons)

HT1657 My movie -- safe House -- froze/stopped with 57 minutes left to play. How can I get the rest of the movie to play or how can I delete it from my iPad and download the rental again?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you tried stopping the movie and trying to start it again.
Unfortunately you cannot re-download rentals. If the problem continues, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History.

WLC4402: same VLAN, different subnet - can it work?

Hi,
I bumped into a interesting issue with WLC4402. Management interface and prod-interface were in a same vlan, but they have different subnets. It seems that "there are two subnets in a same vlan" - 192.168.66.0/24 is defined as primary network in the router and 192.168.72.0/24 as secondary. See the pic attached.
At the moment there is v.4.2.176.0 running and it works. When I tried to upgrade it to v.6.0.199.4 something goes wrong. Controller changed prod-interface port to 0 and I can't change it back to 1 or 2. My best quess is that the WLC is not able to handle this kind of setup...but why is it working at the moment??
Any comments would be most appreciated. Thank you.
-Petri

It's actually a wonder/miracle that someone was able to configure this in the first place, to my opinion.
Maybe it was configured with an old WLC release and survived with the upgrade to 4.2
For sure, this is definitely something that the WLC now prevents you to configure. It's not supposed to work, just an example, if you get layer 2 traffic on that vlan (arp for example), where to reply ? you can't know from which subnet it comes from. So it basically means that you are bridging the 2 subnets together and then why not just giving them the same vlan id then ? effect would be the same.
It's anyway going against the linux routing engine, so I'm still wondering how it was working on 4.2
It was probably bridging vlans and doing some unefficient forwarding without you realizing it. So definitely something you should avoid configuring.
