Getting rid of Entourage
I using OS X 10.6.5 and at one time had Entourage 2008 installed which I no longer use except I can't get rid of an Entourage Calendar from appearing in iCal. I have deleted everything I can find on my system related to Entourage and it won't go away. When I click on the Get Info command for the Entourage Calendar listing on iCal it says "This calendar is automatically created by Microsoft Entourage"
I can delete the calendar and within a few seconds it appears again -there are no events posted in it.
What do I need to delete to never have this calendar appear again?
Thanks,
bill plunkett
Bill,
Try refreshing the iCal plist file, and the "Calendar Cache" file. You will find the "com.apple.iCal.plist" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, and drag the .plist file to your Desktop.
Also find the "Calendar Cache" file in the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder. Drag the Calendar Cache file, or any other "Cache" files which may be in the Calendars Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart, open iCal and let us know if Entourage disappears.

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?
Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath. -
Hello all,
I do a manual back up every week using SuperDuper!
When I switched to Leopard, I found out that my internal HD has quite much less free space than it would normally have, had I not tried Leopard first on my external to see whether I liked it or not (BTW, I do not like it as much as I like OS X Tiger, but problems with a new internal HD forced me to switch.)
With Leopard installed on the internal, TM started to gobble up disk space on my external HD, so I stopped its function.
I actually do not need TM and want to get rid of whatever it has backed up but, I'm not allowed to do so; I get an alert saying that backed up files are protected and cannot be deleted.
Is there a way to permanently get rid of them?
Thank you all, regards.Pondini wrote:
Are you sure the extra space taken up on your internal HD is really stuff that's needed? If not, see [Where did my Disk Space go?|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DiskSpace.html]
Hi Pondini,
It seems to me after having taken a look at the web pages you indicate (#E6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, and the ones referenced therein) there is no back up: this is what the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget said booting from the internal HD:
+Starting standard backup+
+Backing up to: /Backups.backupdb+
+Nothing to backup.+
+Backup failed with error: 25+
And this is what I get when booting from the external HD:
+No Time Machine information found+
I believe both results are right since I had stopped using TM. So, the logical conclusion is: it is OSX 10.5.8 what gobbles so much HD space, even without getting any help from TM.
The only reason why I switched to Leopard is, back at the end of last year I had to take my iMac for repair at Tekserve —a very reliable Mac specialist and retailer in New York City— because things started to go wrong ([here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2765667&tstart=0]; and prior to that, [this one|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2585452&tstart=0].)
I was told the HD had to be replaced but, problems persisted even after replacing it, so I had to take it back to Tekserve.
The HD was replaced once more and most of the problems disappeared but not all, such as beach ball whenever opening an application, or a big folder, and even right at booting without the finder open yet.
I went back to Tekserve and discussed the situation with one of their technicians, a very helpful guy who asked me why didn't I switch to Leopard since it was much more stable. I told him that the main reason was, I would have to spend thousands of dollars replacing all applications that are not universal. He told me that I didn't have to do it with Leopard, that it was required only with Snow Leopard. And he gave me a Leopard install DVD to try the system.
I did try Leopard on the external HD during a full month and only on the external HD, so that if I didn't like it I could still revert to Tiger by cloning back the internal.
To tell the truth, I did not like everything Leopard has to offer. In the first place, it looks and behaves too much like windows; then, spotlight is not as user friendly as with Tiger's; folders seem to reproduce themselves like rabbits every time one trashes a file contained therein (a new window repeats what the old one has to the dot); dashboard's behavior is not comparable to Tiger's; and some other issues there is no point listing them all here.
Other than these, the computer works well, almost perfectly well except the beach ball which resists disappearing; lots of problems with entourage, but this is something that is dependent on microsoft's applications, not on the computer itself. Got rid of entourage and switched to using Apple's mail instead.
Many folks would say, a single backup, especially a weekly one, is not enough, especially with a Mac that old. All hardware fails, sooner or later, and while it's not common, we do see threads here where an internal HD or other failure has required a full restore but the backup drive failed, and everything was lost.
I want to use my Mac as I use my car: I take it regularly up to the shop for maintenance; keep everything in order checking tire pressure, radiator coolant, battery, etc. I don't want to have either my car or my Mac using me as their serf, doing what they want me to do. In the case of the Mac, all I want is to use it as a sophisticated typewriter, with the additional ability to surf the Internet, find articles, photographs, works of art, music, literature that I need or just want. Then, I store it all on the HD and use them as needed to make my own make my own drawings and pictures, etc. which, in turn, get to be stored on the HD. I regularly backup the internal to an external clone that I can boot from in case of need.
Your best bet is to get a second external HD, move the non-backup data to it, and use the existing one exclusively for Time Machine. Leave it connected, and let Time Machine do it's quick automatic hourly backups of changes to both your internal HD and the other external. That way, if either backup drive fails, you're not out of luck. Plus, if you accidentally change or delete something, or a file suddenly turns up corrupted, you have a much better chance of recovering a previous version.
I already have two external HDs; one more will add to the clutter of cables and power cords, etc. that is already asking for more space that I can't afford.
But if you don't want to to that . . .
Are the backups in the same partition as your other stuff? If they're on a separate partition, you can just erase it with Disk Utility. That will take a few seconds.
The external FW-HD which would have been used for TM, and which I use for my regular backups has only one partition.
If not, it gets more difficult. Your best bet is to copy the other data elsewhere temporarily, erase the disk, then copy it back.
The problem is, I don't know where the data you refer to could be; as I said above, there were no backups. It must then be just the amount of space Leopard takes up.
I am simply a mortal; if I have to become an expert like you and so many others in the forums are in order to be able to use my iMac, I'd better give it up...
If that's not practical, you should be able to delete the Backups.backupdb folder that contains your backups. You may have to do that while logged-on as an Admin user, and enter your Admin password. Be aware, though, that emptying the trash will take a very long time, and there may be problems with locked files, etc. If so, see #E6 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
I am the only user of my iMac and, I believe, am its administrator since every time an admin password is required, the powers that be accept the one I type.
In conclusion, TM is not working; it is Leopard who is the hungry fellow; am I right?
Does this mean I must go to a 1TB minimum internal and external HDs?
Thank you so much for your help; best regards. -

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
How do I get rid of the other stuff?
capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
Can't get rid of a TX - message keeps appearing and being processed by OSB
I have some sort of a poison message or TX I can't flush. Every 10 seconds I get a log message like the second one below, and the number of pending messages in multiple places and OSB proxy service messages processed keep climbing - all without producing any new messages on my part. I've tried deleting the default server store on the OSB managed server and the filestore for the JMS server. No luck.
When this first started happening, the error messages looked like the first one below. Something I did caused the change, I assume. However, it's the same TX ID throughout.
So, first, how can I get rid of this thing? It's driving me nuts and keeping me from closing out a POC.
Second, why is it happening? I have one suspicion - could it be because that somehow we configured mutiple domains with the same name for a distributed application? It's not my normal practice but it happened. These domains don't communicate directly, but there are domains that need to communicate with both. So I'm guessing the name ambiguity may be hurting us. Just a guess, though.
In this case, the sgosb domain's proxy service (this domain name is unique) is receiving messages from a queue resident in the pega_domain in Singapore and another proxy service is putting a message to another queue in the pega_domain in the UK. This is not in a single TX; the first proxy service forwards the message to a queue in the sgosb_domain, the second proxy service gets that message and puts it into the other pega_domain. It's an XA TX for each proxy service.
Just to make it more fun, the sgosb_domain has another proxy service reading from a different queue and forwarding it to a queue in the third pega_domain in the US.
TIA for any help or insight.
Oh yes, the OSB domain is WLS 10.3.4, while the pega_domains are WLS 10.3.2

.>Edited by: SteveElkind on Apr 13, 2011 5:50 AMTom,
Thanks! Succinct and easy to understand as ever.
Yup, that covers it - I had also just seen this in the docs after looking at atheek1's earlier response (thanks to him/her as well). It's covered almost as clearly there as you state it here (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/jta/trxcon.html).
While the ESB domains meet all of those requirements (except for cross-domain security configuration), each of the other two sets of domains (3 in each set) do not meet the naming uniqueness criteria for domain and server names; they do for JMS server names. I saw the store names in the TX identifier string as included resource, and assumed they might play a part - that's why I changed them. As you say, an unnecessary change. Oh well - it was an easy one.
My normal practice has been for unique names in the past, due to problems I had years ago with cross-domain JMS traffic in an earlier WLS version. I guess it's the wrong time to have forgotten that lesson.
Does anyone know of a quick way of changing a domain name quickly without rebuilding the domain? In the past WLST resulted in incomplete copies for me, is that still a problem? Server names are easy, just some global search-and-replace in the config.xml file (and in the management scripts, too)

Can I get rid of parts of the JRE for my app?
I am trying to figure out how to easily deploy a stand-alone desktop Swing application. It's more like Microsoft Word than the typical Swing business app that deals with networks and databases. I'd like to make this easily downloadable by regular people, like a 10-year old who has installed an IM client, or a 70-year old who has downloaded the latest version of a browser, i.e., just download an installation file and then click to install in the relatively standard manner in which Windows apps are installed.
What I am definitely trying to avoid is making the user go to Sun's Java distribution website, which is written by computer geeks for computer geeks. If a potential user sees that, they'll get confused, give-up, and I'll have lost a potential user.. Since a Swing application that is developed and tested using an earlier version of the JRE won't necessarily work with a later version, I can't make the assumption that as long as the latest JRE is installed on the user machine, everything is fine. As far as I can tell, I need to download a self-contained version of the JRE that I developed with in order to guarantee that the app will run as expected. I also don't want the user to have to download a 15 Mb 1.5 JRE, or the purported 50 Mb 1.6 JRE just to be able to run my little program. (I'm really starting to see why there are no popular Java desktop apps.)
So my question is - if I compile my application down into machine code from binary code, does anyone know if can I get away with running it with a stripped-down JRE? I'm wondering if I can get rid of parts of the JRE that deal with things like interpreting bytecode, networking or database access, none of which I need to worry about. Sun's legal department might not like this, but is this at all technically feasible? I'm actually happy to hear about any ideas regarding shrinking the size of the distribution. Thanks.I voted for the enhancement request. It is almost exactly what I am concerned with.
I am a big fan of Excelsior Jet. I tried out the free version about a year-and-a-half ago, and was pretty happy with it. It was actually the only machine-code compiler I tried out of several that worked. If I ever get to the point where I can start selling my app, I expect that I'll use it. I've been checking the website every so often since then, and reading about the next version, where a JRE can be included in the distribution. That helped spark my original question. While the worry about making sure my application had the right JRE version will be solved, it still bugs me that I have to ship so much unnecessary JRE code. (I blame Sun for that, not Excelsior Jet.) I was wondering if it was at all technically feasible to strip out the unnecessary code, irrespective of the legal issues. When compiled to byte-code, my program is under 1 MB. When I compiled it to machine code under JDK 1.4, it was about 5 MB. I imagine that compiling to machine-code with the included 1.5 JRE, after compression, will result in a size in the 15-20 MB range. And this after refactoring my program to where it's about 1/3 it's original size. I'm really worried about the direction this is going, and I don't even want to think about what including the 1.6 JRE will require.
Where did you read that I've been programming Java since '97. I was a contractor at Sun between 1995 and 1997, and started working on Java 1.0 apps back then, but I don't ever remember mentioning that. If you asked because you're thinking I should know more about JVM/JRE issues, you're probably right, but I focus almost exclusively on higher-level application and GUI/Graphics issues. The deep-down Java stuff makes me break out into a cold-sweat. -
How do I get rid of the "other" data on my iPhone 4?
The "other" data on my iPhone 4 is currently taking up 4.5 gb of my 6.4 gb phone. As you can see I'm not very happy about this. I am basically limited too about ten apps and I cannot download iOS 7 due to my lack of storage. I was wondering if there were any ways to get rid if the "other" data without resetting my iPhone. I cannot reset my iPhone because my family has a shared data plan and a limited amount of storage to back up to on iCloud. We don't have enough storage on iCloud to backup the 5.8 gb I'm using because of the other data. Any help?
You would need to restore the iphone.

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?
Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.
