How do I delete files that are no longer referenced in the catalog

Over the years there have been a number of files (~650 raw files) that got removed from the catalog but not from my hard drive. This has mostly happened because I used the wrong keystroke combination. But now I'm stuck how can I find and remove these files?
Best strategy so far:
- Use Synchronize folders to find files missing from the catalog
- Reimport with a keyword - deleteme.
I would really rather avoid this because I really don't want to risk any chance of having these files back. Any other ideas?
Cheers

This method won't work, if you want to preserve a custom folder structure, but I'll mention it anyway…
You could select all images in your current catalog and perform an "Export as Catalog…". Make sure to check "Export negative files" and "Include available previews" and select a destination folder for the export.
That will copy your catalog, the original images with all info, adjustments etc. and the previews. Once completed open the newly exported catalog and verify that all images were successfully copied to the new location.
If all went successfully, you can then delete your original images folder, which will get rid of all the non-referenced images in one fell swoop.

HT202213 I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my home sharing account, how do I do this?

I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my itunes Home sharing account so that I can sign up the new computers. I am using a Mac laptop. The computers that were previously linked to the Homesharing are no longer available, they have been wiped and are not in the house anymore. Does anyone know how to do this?

The apps aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and don't use any of your storage. They are only stored in the App store. The iCloud symbols are only links to your previous purchases in the App store so you can download them again. If you don't want to see certain apps, you can hide them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. Once hidden in iTunes, you should no longer see them on your phone.

If you have let your device upload the photo from Camera Roll to your Photo Stream in iCloud, then yes it will remain in iCloud even if you remove it from Camera Roll. If you want to delete the photo from Photo Stream too, see my first post.

I am looking for the place where I can go and see everything that I have backed up in the past that remains in the cloud, so I can go in and edit that. Does anyone know how to get rid of what has been backed up before?
You cannot edit or view the contents of a backup. If your device has things on it that you don't want backed up to iCloud, delete the items from your device and the next iCloud backup won't contain them. Or change your backup routine to back up to your computer instead of iCloud.

How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

I am going to have to write a technote about this, because it comes up a lot.
Flash Player itself is designed to play SWF content as a browser plugin or as an ActiveX control (when it's IE Windows).
There is a standalone Flash Player, but that's something Adobe provides directly as a feature of Flash CS4 Professional. It gets installed with Flash. We have made some standalone players available on http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but not all (and I don't know why. Looking into it)
There are numerous 3rd party standalone SWF players out there though. Some designed to just play video, others that play full SWF. I suggest a google search of 'play SWF standalone' and read the results.
On the Mac, consumers who want to play SWF content off their desktop can use the Adobe Media Player. You can import a local SWF (and FLV and other video) and play it in AMP. Get it here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
That's Mac only, doesn't work on Windows.

So I got large video files that are hours long

Okay, I got these large 1080p video files that are hours long. It's a movie and I'd like to put together a movie review. However, my Adobe Premiere cant seem to handle the playback of these large files. Is this where preview files come into play? or something else?
I was wondering if I can edit it in maybe 720p or 480p and then render it out using the original files and 1080p. Is this possible? I was reading someone about a similar process some video editors could do.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

James Ward4 Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes. Thanks again.

HT1751 how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

Of course it should, but if it doesn't do you want fix it or leave it broken? iTunes draws on the CDDB database for track details. That database is incomplete, contains errors, and isn't explicitly designed to be "iTunes friendly". If you download an album from the iTunes store then the tracks should normally be grouped together, although there are ways of sorting the Songs view that will always break things up. If you purchase from Amazon, elsewhere, or rip your CDs then you may sometimes need to make a minor update to the tags to tidy things up. Which workaroud is needed depends on context, but the most common one of setting an Album Artist takes a few seconds.

How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

i followed the directions to deauthorize one "fried" computer and one old Windows laptop i no longer use from my new MacBook Pro. When i go into iTunes on my new MacBook Pro, however, iTunes says i still have 5 authorized computers and i can't set up my music on my laptop using iTunes Match. I did not deauthorize all my computers because i still have an iphone and two ipads. Now that i've invoked deauthorize, what am i supposed to do for the next 12 months until i can deauthorize again?

I recently received an I Pod touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all my pictures that I have ever taken are now on my Ipod. How do I delete pictures that are not taken by the Ipod but were synced onto the ipod?

I recently received an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all the pictures that I have ever taken are on my I pod. How do I delete pictures that have been synced from my computer?

Hi megan21,
Connect your iPod to iTunes, click on your device, and then click on the "Photos" page. If you don't want any photos on your iPod, make sure the "Sync photos from [photo application]" checkbox is unchecked. Or, you could select specific photos in that page to sync to your iPod.
Hope this helps,
O.C.

How to read .dat files that are hidden?

Is it possible to read .dat files that are set to hidden? 'cause what i did was i created a .dat file and set its attributes to hidden and my Read file code cannot read hidden files.
here's my Read file code:
Scanner read=new Scanner(FileReader("C:\password.dat"));
and another thing, how do you Write a .dat file that is hidden too? 'cause my password.dat file needs to be updated.
here's my Write file code:
PrintWriter write=new PrintWriter("C:\password.dat");
thank for the help.

There should not be any problems opening up hidden files. Your problem is probably elsewhere (for example, you didn't escape the backslash, so what you posted is not your code).

How to download the files, that are located in server, from the client?

Hello folks,
My program is like that, the files are located in the server and stored in file system.
I can only know the server name and the directory listing, so that I can show the file names from that directory on the browser.
The user might downloads those files from the browser and he might deletes those files through the browser.
That user has valid right to do so and the files can be any type of extension.
So how can I write this kind of program? Currently the whole system is in struts, so how can I make compatible with struts technology?
Do u have any ideas?
Regards,
Phyo

Thank you, grigpm. But actually I want the user to select the file that he wants to download rather than setting it in the configuration file. If it is possible, let me see the sample code of FileManager servlet. I've tried with some ways but I can only download from the same server with the application server. I want to download from different server. I hope someone can help me with sample code....
Best regards,
Phyo

How do you delete files that say you can't delete them?

I'm trying to delete several files (one, an application; the other, an Excel file) but whenever I move them to the trash, I get an error message. The Application (Skype) error says I have to unlock the file, but after I unlock it (using File->Get Info) and I type in the administrator password, it gets me back to the beginning and I have to do the whole thing over and over again.
When I try to delete Excel file, i get a dialogue box that says "The operation can’t be completed because the item “NY alumni list.xls” is in use." But the file is only being used by me; even after I make a small change and resave it and then try to delete it, i get the same error message repeatedly.
i'm wondering if the files are corrupted or something and if so, how do I get rid of them?

thanks for the response. neither item allows me to move it to the Trash.
The error message I get with the Skype app is: "The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again."
But it's not locked at all.
The error message I get with the Excel file is as I wrote earlier.
I'm really stumped by it.
