Finding and deleting powerbook g4 files from macbook pro

I am finding old powerbook G4 files on my macbook pro and would like to find and delete them. Any suggestions/recommendations on how I can do this?

Go MBP (the best thing it has to offer is a PCI slot that the MacBook doesn't have). If you really need to use FM7, then cut the track on the iMac and import it into the MBP.
As far as Rosetta, it won't open a plug in that isn't the same version (i.e., PPC or Universal Binary) as the host. So if your Logic version is UB, then the plug ins have to be too.
If you can use FM7 in a stand alone mode, then you should be able to use it. I wouldn't recommend it because anything processor intensive tends to run crappy under Rosetta.
Hope that helps.

Aperture installation deleted all image files from MacBook Pro.

After installing Aperture 3, I noticed that all the image files I had on my MacBook Pro immediately disappeared. These were stored in various locations throughout my computer depending on subject (e.g. "Emergency Response Training", "Summer 2009", "Car Restoration" and so on). A small number were in the "Pictures" folder but most were kept in other locations. All the folders and subfolders where these images were stored are intact but the images are gone. There is simply a "thumbs.db" file inside and the folder size is about 6 kb on average.
I did nothing other than install Aperture (no importing or library creation) and none of these images or folders are in the Aperture library. A similar thing happened with iPhoto where all my iphoto thumbnails show up but there appears to be no actual photo. No images prior to Aperture installation appear anywhere on the Macbook using tailored queries with "Find".
Apple support indicated that Aperture would not search out these photos unless prompted and would never delete them but It's hard to imagine how else this could have happened, as it happened only during installation (subsequent photos are fine) and targeted all image files in every location. Hard drive is new and indicates no problems.
Any ideas what might have happened - and, more importantly, how I might be able to recover the missing images? Unfortunately, my upgrade to Lion obliterated my DNS 321 back up disk, as well, and I don't yet know if I can recover those files.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Apple support claimed it was impossible for Aperture to delete files, as well, Allen. All I can tell you is I installed Aperture and the files immediately disappeared. I installed Aperture with the intention of learning its capabilities over the ensuing months, as I had never used it before, and so made sure to do nothing but install and launch so I could have a look at it and see how it was set up.
The network hard drive obliteration occured when I was trying to transfer novie files from my Macbook to my DNS 321 network drive, which I use to store all my backups and most of my media files. I've done this countless times with Snow Leopard without a hitch. However, when I tried it with Lion the system locked up during the transfer and I lost my connection to the drive. Once I managed to reconnect, I found that I couldn't get into the folders on the network drive anymore. All that would come up was a "My Documents" folder, which had no content. After doing a websearch I discovered that Lion no longer supports DNS 321 and that others with similar style drives had been having similar problems. What might be unique to my situation was that when I hooked up an old PC to the DNS 321 I was able to get back into my original folder set up but I found that the folders labelled from (A to J) were missing entirely and that the remaining folders had no content.
So, as I mentioned in my first post, the only input from me was installation and launch of Aperture and the only thing I was doing with my network drive was transferring movie files from the Macbook to the DNS 321 drive. If neither of those actions could possibly have caused the problems I described, I'd be very eager to learn what did.

I used time machine to restore on a formatted MAC. Now the HDD space has reduced by 100GB but I cannot see any of the files. How do I find and delete those 100GB data from the HDD?

I created a new user account just to see if it was my user Library or if there was something wrong with my system. And the new user account is doing most of the same things so I will need to do a full restore anyway.
Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

HELP!! How can I find and delete duplicate mp3 files.

I have a zillion copies of songs and I want to find and delete duplicate mp3 files. I have used MediaRage to find the duplicate files (16 thousand or so) but it can't delete them. It will take a million yrs to delete them manually. Does anyone know a way to do this quickly or a program that will do this for me. I have a 15 in Powerbook with OS 10.5.3
Thanks so much if you can help.

I restored the phone so had no apps on it at all and there was still this certain amount of space used up by documents ! I've already had it in to the apple store and they didn't seem to have a clue either ! Ugh ! Wouldn't mind so much if the phone was free with a contract but I actually spent 450 quid buying this phone and it's always full of "nothing" so virtually unusable

Cannot transfer files from macbook pro running os 10.6 to macbook pro running 10.8

having trouble transferring files from macbook pro running os 10.6.7 to macbook pro running os 10.8. getting message to up grade migration assistant but cannot find upgrade

The latest version of Migration Assistant is version 5 and should have been installed in you Utilities folder when you upgraded to version 10.8. Use the 10.8 version machine to migrate to and you should have no problems.

Can't delete file from macbook pro...

I recently bought a new macbook pro (2.3 GHZ, i5, 4gb ram...) and began to download some torrents. I was converting one movie file to play on my iphone but I cancelled the conversion because I realized the picture quality of the movie wasn't that great. I deleted the file but now there is a left over file that can only be seen under the "all my files" section in the Finder that I canno delete. There is no icon for this file except for this grayed out cut out.
When I click "get info" I'm unable to move to trash that way and it says I have "unknown access" under the sharing and permissions tab. I can't drag the file to the trash bin and when I do, another file is taken instead. When I click on the icon this message displays -The alias “Immortals.2011.DVDScr#8B1B.divx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found" I'm given options to click "Delete alias, Fix alias, or Ok". When I click delete alias, nothing happens, when I click Fix alias I can't find the original becuase I've obviously deleted it and clicking ok just closes the message.
I have two questions,
1. When I "get info" on file, it states that the file size is 956 mb. Is it really taking that much space up on my hd? I know I deleted the original file. What gives?
2. How can I delete this file?
I could really use some help on this. I've asked my friends and they coudln't figure it out either.
I'd appeciate any and all who can give me some ideas.
Thanks,
D

Finding and retrieving an XML file from an application and an applet

I have a problem.
I have data stored in an XML file. I want to be able to call that file and store it into a document object from an application standing alone on a computer as weel as from an applet that would be running over the web.
I don't know how to do this.
When I use a relative path name for the application it attaches the path of the folder that contains java.exe. I could do something with the class path but this wouldn't help the end user of the application on a different computer. For similar reasons I don't want to hard code because I don't know where the final applet will be stored.
I have a table that holds, sorts and filters the data so I want the table to collect the data, I don't want to dictate the path from the applet or the application, I want a method that is consistant with both scenarios.
Can anyone offer some advice?

I've just finished trying it out, here is what I did:
String xmlDocName="filename.xml";
java.net.URL fileURL=this.getClass().getResource(xmlDocName);
private final String fileName = fileURL.toString().substring(6);
The substring removes the "file:/" from the URL.
This works fine in the IDE, I have even stored the xml file in a lower folder e.g. package_folder/xml_folder/filename.xml and replaced the xmlDocName with "xml_folder/filename.xml" and it worked fine.
I haven't tried it in an applet because I'm running IE and as you are well aware there are problems with swing and IE applets. But you answer deserves the Duke Dollars, thank you very much.

Quickest way to transfer iMovie 09 Files from Macbook Pro to iMac

Hello:
We recently got an iMac and I would like to transfer my iMovie 09 files from my macbook pro to the iMac which also has iMovie 09. Can you suggest the quickest and easiest way to do this? I am assumign this can be done since they are both iMovie 09-anyhelp is appreciated

Huh.
Well, my approach has always been:
1. Click the "Consolidate Media" menu in File, and click the buttons to move all source materials into the project.
2. Shut down iMovie
3. Navigate to Movies/iMovie Projects in Finder, and copy the corresponding project over to the other machine's Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
4. Start up iMovie on the other machine.
I don't do much video (mostly photo slideshows) in iMovie, but this certainly hasn't caused me any problems before. iMovie just sees the new item in its iMovie Projects folder and allows you to select it.

New iMac - need to move files from Macbook Pro to new iMac

Hi there everyone,
Did some quick searching, but didn't find the answer that I needed.
I am picking up my new 27" iMac (base model) and will need to move my files and programs from my Macbook Pro to the iMac. What is the best way to accomplish this? Are there any tools on the iMac that will help do that, or is it a manual effort?
Thanks!
Mark

When you first start new Mac it will ask you if you want to migrate. Say yes at that point and Setup Assistant will migrate everything for you.

How To Transfer Hard Drive Files from Macbook Pro

I have a macbook pro(late 2006 model) which won't turn on. Brought it to the apple store for them to take a look at. I was told that the main circuit board is broken and it will be cheaper to buy a newer macbook instead of fixing it. I was also told that the harddrive was ok. How do I transfer the files from my old macbook pro hardrive(which won't turn on) to a new macbook pro? They offered to help me at the apple store but it will cost me $99 for their "one to one." Can someone help me? Thanks!

What size of a usb external harddrive caddy do I need? What is compatable with the macbook pro hardrive?
2.5" SATA. USB2 models can be found be found for $15 or so. Then the enclosure can be used with an old or new HD for backups/troubleshooting. I have way too many around, but I don't know what I'd do without at least one 2.5" and one 3.5" (but I prefer the faster FireWire 800 models, which are more expensive). In any case, I think it's safe to say you won't regret spending $15 on an enclosure.

Moving files from MacBook Pro to MacBook Air

My MacBook Pro's display is all crapped out (can't even view on external monitor) and I'm trying to transfer files over to my new MacBook Air.
How can I do this? Since there is no Firewire on my Air, I can't boot into target disk mode and just copy my home folder over.
Any other suggestions?

If your display is so bad, I will assume you cannot get to system prefs to enable sharing/screen sharing etc.
Have you considered removing the HD from the MBP, putting it into an enclosure and connect it to the air via usb?
Given the state of things that is what makes sense to me.
