Help with Library Backup files
Hi, I'm trying to get some of the clutter off my HD, so I got OmniDiskSweeper. One thing I found, in my User->Library->Application Support folder, my MobileSync folder is 3.6 GB, and if I go into Backup, the Backup Library folder is 8 GB.
Can I delete some of these flies in these folders? I'm not even sure what MobileSync is, I thought my iPhone synced through iTunes. Then in the Backup folder, some of these backups go back to 2009 (I'm thinking if I could delete these, then just do a Full Disk backup right away).
If I can delete files, what is the best way to do it? (I know sometimes just going into the folder and moving to the trash can cause problems, as the app search for the file.
Thanks for help
Here's another file size question: in my HD folder, I found a hidden folder marked "private". In it is a folder that says "var" and inside it is a folder named "vm" that is 6.2 GB, and contains a whole bunch of files named "swapfile1" (1-26) each of which is 256 mb. What is this for and can it be deleted?
thanks again for help

I need help with a backup file that was deleted and now undeleted from my hard drive
Last month (May 6, 2011), I was updating my iPod Touch 4G with the new software that came out. I always make a backup of my iPod's data before I update it. While my iPod was updating I left my iPod and computer alone and was doing things around the house with my mom. And when I was done I went in my room to see if it was done and my computer decides that it was going to freeze and crash on me (with my iPod plugged in and stuck on the updating or verifying software mode.) I managed to get my iPod back to working condition again but losing everything on my iPod. I formatted my computer hard drive but I managed to get back the backup I lost. I need help on getting the backup into iTunes so I can get my data back. I am not Jailbroken and I plan not to Jailbreak. I however saved the backup file in a folder other than the Mobilesync folder. I am also running on Windows XP. Someone please help me and thank you in advance!
I was able to backup my iPod and I tried to restore my iPod again and it goes through the process and everything but it restores the temporary data that I had on there. It didn't restore application data or the current photos and videos that I had saved in Camera Roll before this all had happened. It is almost like it goes back to factory settings but I have some photos that were saved on the other backup that I was temporarily running on. The backup that I am looking to restore is the only backup file in the Mobilesync folder as of right now the others are saved somewhere safe for right now. Why doesn't it restore my application data or my Camera Roll pictures and videos that I saved before my computer crashed last month? Can this problem be fixed?

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!
I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!
You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat. -

Can Apple/Itunes help me find backup files?
Are backup files connected to my itunes account? or are they only saved on the computer/laptop that I synced and backed up my ipod with? And is it possible for Apple/Itunes to help me find or get my backup files? I am aware that I am not the only one that makes backups on Itunes and stuff and I know that millions of other people also backup their ipod touches, iphones, etc. I'm not trying to sound like the world revolves around me and that Apple will do everything to help me...but I just want an answer or any other possible solutions. I would really appreciate it.
This user tip outlines the method I recommend for backing up your library. Provided your library is all self contained it is possible to hook up a drive containing this kind of backup to any other machine running the same build of iTunes, connect to the library and update your devices.
The iOS device backup is intended to restore an iOS device in the event of a problem, or loss & replacement. It is possible to move these backup file sets from one machne to another, but it's not easy, and not really necessary as long as you migrate your library and then back up the device once on the new computer before doing anything drastic to the old one.

Based in the information of txt file, I need to split a file.txt into "n" .txt files, depending of the blocks thats the file containt. It's delimited by """".

Hi,
I back-up my blackberry through desktop manager about once every two weeks. Yesterday, my phone crashed and gave me an error message, forcing me to update my software and wiping the phone in the process. It did this once before as well. When I went to go restore my blackberry after the update, the last backup file I could find was from May.
I backed it up two days ago. I've backed it up a ton of times since last May. This doesn't make any sense. I've lost all my contacts, all my messages, everything that I gained in the last six months.
Does anyone know where the files could be, or why Desktop Manager might have messed up like this and not actually been making backups when it said it was? I restored with the May backup and tried backing it up, and of course now it works and the file is in the Blackberry Backups folder. I've searched for .bbb files on my computer and found nothing beyond what's in the folder.
There's no reason for me to have lost all this data, I back it up often specifically so this never happens, so where did all of those files go? Is there any way for me to get it all back?
Thank you!!Do a search also for any *.ipd files.

Help with writing .bashrc file
I would like help with writing a .bashrc file.
The only thing I want right now is colored output and slashes for directories like what "ls -GF" does -- for each new terminal window.
Can you guys give me a hand?
Running Mac OS 10.4.6. Bash is default shell.
Thanks.Hi Paul,
You can get Apple's "ls" command to always output color with the following in your .bashrc:
export CLICOLOR=""
You can have an effect on the colors used with settings like the following:
export LSCOLORS="gxfxcxdxbxegedabafacad"
I have a color prompt in my bash startup scripts, bashrc.tgz. If you unpack the tarball in the root of your home directory, the files will be put in a ~/Library/init/bash directory. The file named "prompt" sets the color prompt string.

Hello,
I need help with a flash demo that I am creating. I have a
main swf file that contains links to other sub swfs that I have
created. What I really want this to do is... when I click on one of
the link on the browser, the other swf have to load in the window.
I tried to code it with .loadMovie,.... but for some weird reason,
it is not showing up.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanksyou might have a security violation and you do have a
load-target issue. remove that "_parent": there's no 2nd parameter
in the loadMovie() method.
if you want to replace the main swf with that url, loading
into _root is fine. otherwise, you want to use a different
target. -
How do I change the titles of a couple of pages, eg "Biography" to "About" and how do I delete some pages?
This question really has nothing to do with Library items. And for benefit of those not following other threads, the link to the pages is here -
http://www.bbcooper.com/film_tv.html
So - what do you want to cover in this thread: titles, deleting other pages, or Library items? How about we start with my first suggestion to you in the previous thread -
In DW's Code view for the film_tv.html page, change this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
to this -
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Save the page. Make a similar change in any other page in your site containing that XML prolog
("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>"), i.e., delete it.
Now, to get on with the Library items, in your local site, you will find a file called "main_nav.lbi" in the Library items folder. Open it in DW. Again, in Code view, delete all of this -
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0 var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc; } function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0 var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array(); var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}} }
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
//-->
</script>
<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('../images/navigation/home_f2.gif','../images/navigation/recordings_f2.g if','../images/navigation/theatre_f2.gif','../images/navigation/tv_f2.gif','../images/navi gation/reviews_f2.gif','../images/navigation/contact_f2.gif','../images/navigation/links_f 2.gif','../images/navigation/biog_f2.gif')">
so that the library item's code looks begins like this -
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<table width="800" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr align="left" valign="top">
Save that Library item and allow DW to update all pages.
Now that you have done that, say more about your other questions please. -
Hi,
I've installed Aperture 2.1.2, and the newest RAW compability update (2.5).
However, when I try to work with RAW files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera (nothing big, I know), all I see is "Unsupported image format".
I really need help with this quick. The RAW files are in .cr2 format.as a last resort ...
this is the update that added support for 1000d ... however the 3 releases post this should have it too ...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/digitalcameraraw compatibilityupdate22.html
but you can roll back your raw compatibility and see if that works ... then progressively go forward to current and see if/where the problem lies ...
you could try a re-install of 2.5 ...

info on rolling back the update is in this thread:

Begging for help with podcast xml file
Hey All,
I have a podcast on iTunes. I am hosting the xml file and podcast mp3s on a friends server so Im not using any service. Everything is working and Ive sucessfully added 4 podcasts so far, and it shows up correctly in iTunes on my PC.
However my podcasts do not showup correct in the iTunes store website, or on idevices. Meaning, I number my shows 001_"NAME" 002_"NAME" etc. Yet in the iTunes store they show up out of order. So my last show is not at the top its at the bottom, and they are all mixed up (like 002, 001, 004, 003 instead of 4,3,2,1) Also the publish date is the same on two of them (and not what i have in the xml file) and doesnt show up at all on the other two. I assume this is a problem with the xml file, yet I dont see any problems with it. But it seems odd that it all works correctly in the actual iTunes program. Ive tried different code, but im very much a noob at it, and everything i find online is from 5 - 10 years ago or wants you to host your podcasts with their site and I dont need that.
Here is the link to the show on the iTunes website so you can see what i mean: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/your-reality-recap/id501295325
If anybody can, would you mind checking out the code in my xml file and letting me know if you see anything thats causing this issue?
I zipped the xml file and put it here: http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YRR.zip
I would be truly greatfuly for any help with this. Ive been trying to fix this for days and dont know what else to do.
Thanks!
EricYour feed is at http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YourRealityRecap.xml (please always post the feed URL, not its contents or a copy).
I don't see the issues you mention. The order in the Store and when subscribing is what I would expect:
The order in the Store depends on clicking the header to the column: the default is the first one. Some of the dates are a day out - this is quite commmon and is probably a time zone issue (it may be different where you are - I'm in the UK). I don't know why you are seeing a garbled order unless you've clicked on one of the other columns in the Store. -
Help understanding Library norm files
Can someone please explain how the library files work. I am having some difficulty understanding how to correct a problem of how to deal with very slow file sets when I want to change from the General set (say) to Corporate or Wedding.
I am using Encore DVD 2.0, Windows XP (SP2) and have a Pentium 4 3GHz.
I looked through the forum and saw a post about changing the norm files in the Docs and Settings/etc/Library files (for the problem I am having with slow files and crashing) and when I checked I only have norm files in General, Technology and Travel. When I try to change to Corporate or Wedding in Encore the program just stops running and I have to close it in the Task Manager.
I am not sure if this is relevant - I live in the UK and originally set up Encore to work in PAL. I am working through Classroom In a Book which has all its files in NTSC - so I am setting up all my projects in NTSC for the book. I notice that there are two sets of library files in Program Files - PAL and NTSC - is this of any relevance and is this why I am having problems?
MikeI think I've worked it out now, thanks.
I deleted all the .norm files (with Encore closed) and then closed the PC down completely and started over. With Encore open again I then systematically clicked on each library set and - like magic all the .norm files came back.
I assume the .norm files are created when you first click on the library set and then forever after they are there - something must have gone wrong somewhere because originally they were working fine. Now they are working fine again.
Now my only question is - if I have created a bunch of .norm files when working in a NTSC project - will they still work fine in a PAL project or will I have to recreate them? -
Help with building flash files for streaming
I filmed a product demonstration for a client who wanted to put it on his website. I edited the footage in PremPro CS4 and exported to Media Encoder as F4V file format. After encoding imported footage into CS4 Encore, created timeline, chose, Flash from Format and swf for output. Progressive Download which allows video to begin playing as it is downloaded (I believe), chose destinations and settings. After transcoding I had 1 file folder, Sources that contained the following files _PGC_Bpge_entryPoint_Bbp_1.f4v, and then 3 separate files, *not* in the file folder called Sources. They are
AuthoredContent.xml, FlashDVD.swf, and Index.html.
I submitted all files to client who gave them to web designer. Designer said these were the wrong files and he could not use them. I called designer and basically he said I didn't know what I was doing. I told him he needed all files to put up the flash video. Anyway, am I missing something, doing something wrong? Are there other files he needs? He said he only needed 1 file. Or is it the designer? I'm not thin skinned so if it's me please tell me so, so I don't make the same errors. Thanks. All suggestions/comments are appreciated!<The client wants a control player, i.e. play, stop, pause, etc., that's it, so the viewer can simply provide the function themselves. This is similar to youtube, blogger, etc.
The web designer can use what you provided, which does what you describe the client wanting. But the web designer may need to integrate what Encore provided onto a web page, and the client may not have made the expectations clear and may not know what is needed. As I said, the Encore to flash player gives almost no options for the player controls and colors etc may be problems.
<Encore did encode the f4v file. When I exported from PremPro what preset should I hve chosen -- mpeg2 DVD, flv/f4v. So the only file he needs in addition to what I gave him is the original f4v file?
I don't know whether the f4v you exported from Premiere was progressive. The f4v from Encore might be fine, or you might need to export from Premiere again.
The other issue is that some "player" with controls needs to be provided by you or the web designer (who may have an issue with the client not getting the designer to lay all this out to begin with). There are several threads about "flv players" you might check out. Does the client have video on his site already? If so, you can figure out what they are using, and it will help with your process.
should I have chosen "flash server" instead of "progressive". i must admit i never did this before. other clients just have me post it to youtube and provide them with embed code.
It depends on what they want.
