  • How to delete the home folder of a deleted account?

    After I set up a new account, I transferred everything from my old macbook pro to my new iMac (so it has a moutain lion system. I'm sure you know it. Just want to make it clear ) through migration assistance from time machine. Then I realized that an extra account (my old one) plus many unnecessary data had been transferred to my new iMac. Therefore, I decided to delete this old account.
    HOWEVER, when I deleted the account, I failed to delete the home folder--I chose to delete it securely; but after it started backing up, I simply cancel the backup (which is a HUGE mistake) Then I found the account was deleted but its home folder stayed-- it occupied over 150GB of my new iMac.
    Could anyone tell me how I can delete the home folder securely?
    in addition, since I only want to transfer iphoto pictures, iTune music and some important documents to my new account, should I simply copy thme to an external drive and transfer them to my new account?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    In system preferences, create a new account again, using the short name of the "deleted" account. You may be prompted to re-use the old home folder. Log out and log in to test it worked. Then log in as your new admin, and do the delete process again. Don't choose to securely delete this time - just a regular delete.
    When you have time to spare, go to Disk Utility, and use the Erase tab to securely erase free space on the drive. This will accomplish the same thing that your originally tried to do. Use the fastest method - anything more secure is a waste of time. You may need to run it overnight - it can take several hours.

  • How can I show all missing content in iTunes library?

    How can I show all missing content (ie. show the exclamation mark against each track)? I can restore the missing content but need to know what is missing without running each track.

    One way to identify the broken links in your library is to create this set of playlists:
    Lost & Found playlists
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    Or use iTunes Folder Watch and enable its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

  • How can I copy/transfer iTunes content ?

    How can I copy/transfer iTunes content from my old computer to the new one, considering that for some reason Target Mode and Migration Assistant doesn't work for me ?
    I don't need the application itself (it comes with the new computer) but just the content.
    I want to transfer my collection of CD in iTunes. they are all CD that I physically have in my living room, listen to them on my stereo and have copy them in my computer (which is in the Den) so I can listen while working on my computer.
    The iTunes is version 9.0.2
    Can I drag it to the external drive or perhaps just the songs, then copy/drag them to my new computer ?

    Hi-
    Can I drag it to the external drive or perhaps just the songs, then copy/drag them to my new computer ?
    Pretty much, Yes.
    If you wish to keep the formatting, notes, ratings, etc. that are with the library, you should allow the iTunes software to "discover" the library.
    If the iTunes Library from one machine is placed on an external drive, the iTunes software on the other machine can be directed to the library of the external drive when connected.
    Allowing "Copy to Home folder/music" will provide for copying of the library to the new machine.
    Alternatively, if the library is loaded onto an iPod, the iPod can be used to transfer the music.

  • How can I restore a folder in SM35 - Very Urgent

    Hi All,
    How can I restore a folder in SM35 ?, because I created a folder in transaction AFAB and this transaction just process in background (under folder - SM35) and then I deleted this folder wrongly.... I tryed to execute again the transaction AFAB but it didn´t work, it means no folder was created...., the mesage is AA729.....
    Thanks....
    Edited by: Sandra Mota on Mar 7, 2008 8:26 PM

    Hi,
    Once you delete the session in SM35, it is not possibel to restore it back.
    Check if you have also deleted the logs? Logs can exists after deleting the Session, provide you have not deleted the logs too.
    It is not possible to create one more session using AFAB.
    still if you want to do it, then in the selection screen at least change one of the parameter (Company code, Fiscal year, Posting period).
    IF you still do not want to change the above input parameters, then there is another option, i.e. create a new assest and then run the AFAB with the radio button in REPEAT RUN.
    Hope this is clear

  • How can scan directly with webcenter content

    how can directly scan with webcenter content without other software for scanner
    tnx

    Hi,
    If you are referring to not using ODC/ODDC kind of software which has drivers to connect to Webcenter Content then following is what I can think of:
    1. Have your scanner drop the scanned images to a shared folder
    2. Have a standalone Java program to checkin the scanned images to Webcenter Content using RIDC API calls
    3. Access what set of metadata you want to set on the content, advice you set most of the general metadata on the folder so the content inherits them
    4. If the metadata is available in a database then you could use the Java program to look up to this DB for metadata which performing the checkin

  • How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

    How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection?  I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
    pshultz

    It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
    If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

  • How can i transfer my iphone4 content to my itune Library

    How can i transfer my iphone4 content to my itune Library

    Just google it, there are lots of third party softwares that allows you to transfer data between your iPhone and your computer like iFunbox (which is free). You can transfer photos, app data, videos and other stuff. If you wan't to transfer photos though, you can use iCloud Photo Stream and download iCloud Control Panel for Windows and Mac. With it you can also view notes that you made from iPhone and transferred wirelessly through iCloud servers.

  • How can I see my iCloud content?

    How can I see my iCloud content?

    You can't see items contained in an iCloud backup, you can only restore it to your device.  (The apps are actually redownloaded from the App store when you restore that backup.)
    Did you restore her iCloud backup to her new phone?

  • How can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me out on the follwoing questions
    how can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

    The data isn't actually stored in iTunes.  iTunes is like a card catalog that allows you to access information from the various places that it's stored on the computer.  SMS and contact info will be viewable in whatever program you sync contact information.  The backup actually keeps the files, but doesn't make them viewable, I'm pretty sure.  You can only see the info you've actually synced.
