How do I remove Garageband iLife Preview files?

I was creatin a large project in Garageband and decided to split it into smaller parts. I forgot that I had set Garageband to create an iLife Preview for the files when I save them, and sudddenly, I've lost 20GB of space on my drive because I have created all these extra preview files with every same.
Is there a way to remove the preview files without having to delete the individual tracks?
Thnaks!

I copied parts from the original to empty new projects,
it's really doubtful that the Previews would acount for gigabytes of space. many megs, but not 1+ gigs (unless the recording was _very_ long)
when you paste in a region and Save As, you're essentially copying the entire recording associated with that region, even if you're displaying only some of it. some background:

  • HT3386 How do you remove part of a file. My thumbnail attach themselves then refuse to allow editing without deleting my complete work. I even scan in jpegs of my documents and it incessantly adds blanks I can't remove.

    How do you remove part of a file. My thumbnail attach themselves then refuse to allow editing without deleting my complete work. I even scan in jpegs of my documents and it incessantly adds blanks I can't remove.

    Pages documents are organized in sections. When you click on the thumbnail for a page, the section containing that page is selected. The Delete command applies to the selection, so if you press delete at this point, the selected section is deleted.
    You can separate a section into two or more sections by inserting a section break at the end of the page before the page you want ot be the first in the new section, then inseritng a second section break where you want the second section to end. Click on the thumbnail for any page in the new section, thenpress delete and the new section will be deleted.
    If desired, you can then reconnect the two remaining sections into one by deleting the section break between them.
    An alternate is to select any floating objects on the pages you want to delete, then press delete. After that, select the text on the pages you want to delete, then press delete.
    If all objects on these pages (and al objects on pages following these pages) have been placed as Inline objects, this deletion may be done in a single step. Floating objects placed below the deleted material will maintain their position relative to the top left corner of the first page of the section,m and will not be in the same place within the text as they were before the deletion.
    "I even scan in jpegs of my documents and it incessantly adds blanks I can't remove."
    If your jpegs are inserted as inline objects, each will be treated as a single, large character in the text. You will see the same space left and right of the object as you would create by increasing the height of one character in the line of text to the same size as the height of the jpeg image.
    If they are inserted as floating objects, then depending on the Wrap settings, they may force text out of the space to the left, right, or both sdes of the object, as well as forcing a small gap above and below the object. If the scan includes excess white space around the graphic, this white space will be included as part of the object

  • How do I save an "iLife preview" after a GB project is created for use in iMovie?

    Actually, a workaround is fine -- I just need iMovie to be able to see the project. I did not think I needed an "iLife preview" when I started the project.
    I tried sending it to iTunes, but when I try to open it in iMovie it still gives me the "iLife preview needed" message. As someone observed in an old post, it offers to open Garage Band for you to create this preview, but nowhere in Garage Band does it say how to do this, so this service is thoroughly unhelpful. :-)
    It would be maddening if Garage Band did not allow you to use files in other iLife apps unless you knew at the moment you first created the project that that would be a needed option. There must be a way!

  • How do I save with ilife preview in v. 10.0.2?

    Under -preferences-general- there is no longer an audio preview box. So I can´t open a saved song into another project...How do I solve this?

    Use the menu command "Share > MediaBrowser ..." to create an iLife preview.
    After that, you should be able to see your project in the Media Browser in GarageBand.

    It will show in the lower section of the Media Browser:

  • How do I remove top site preview from Bookmarks Bar

    Last night received message from Safari asking whether or not to update Safari settings, which, in a pinch, unfortunately I did.  I now have a top site preview in my Bookmarks Bar and I do not want it there.  I have tried everything to get it out, including the most obvious: unchecking "show top sites" in Safari preferences, restarting Safari and computer.  Also, going to Utilities, Terminal and pasting in script for command found searching on subject.  Nothing works.  Does anyone know how to get this top site window out of my Bookmarks Bar?  I have spent a great deal of time on this and am quite frustrated as a result.  Thank you.

    Hi
    so if you click/hold just above the 'address' text - or anywhere in that dark bluey-grey band above the column headings... you should be able to drag that upwards so that the site preview area disappears leaving only  the dark search bar.
    Maybe it's not that - I didn't mention it right away because that 'setting'  is common to every bookmarks view/collection, rather than " The top site preview appears ONLY when I select "Show all bookmarks," and THEN select the Bookmarks Bar "
    If not that, do remove the safari plist file - keep it safe & you can easily replace it with safari quit if there's no change. Safari will create a new, default version when it next starts.

  • How do you open Garageband for iPad files with Garageband?

    I was led to believe that Garageband could open up Garageband For iPad files, but not vice versa.
    However when a friend sent me his Garageband For iPad file, and I tried to open it, a "compatibility updater" started running then stopped halfway through and told me Garageband was "unable to complete the download" and directed me to go to Apple help.
    Here I am.
    Anybody got any idea how to open (and work on) this file?
    Tank you in advance.
    -Dave-id

    Apparently there were a two updaters I had to run first, before letting the compatability updater do it's thing.
    And since I got my Garageband for Mac through the APP store I could only do my updating through that.
    So if anyone else is having that same problem, update, update, update!

  • How can I remove a doubly-invisible file?

    My external drive has a 28GB invisible file on it called "Volume Catalog Info". The finder says the disk is full, but won't reveal the file, even with all files made visible.
    The way I found the monster file was using DiskSurveyor 2.5 under Classic. I'd think it was imagining things, except that the Finder agrees that the disk is full. My 2 folders on the drive (no system files) add up to the same 28GB short of the size of the disk. I made all files visible using Terminal ("defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1") but besides the 2 folders mentined, there's nothing new shown of any size, only the following: Desktop DB 16KB, .DS_Store 8KB .TemporaryItems folder 8KB, Desktop DF 4KB, and .Spotlight-V100, .Trashes, Desktop, and Desktop Folder, all at Zero KB.
    Since Terminal doesn't reveal the file either, how can I remove it?
    Thanks!

    I appreciate the help and think this may have been a case of operator error. In searching the web I found someone with the same problem, but I now think I had the wrong idea of my actual disk size! So DiskSurveyor showed this mega-file, but just as a side-effect of its being an OS9 program. No mega-file, nothing to delete, red face.

  • How do I remove password when deleting files...lion

    Hi. I upgraded to Lion.
    I need to know how to remove the password everytime deleting files.
    Im going crazy...how do I remove that appliction ?
    MBK

    Thanks for your speedy reply, Mr. Alexander. I did try that yesterday, going to the doc and making sure it wasn't a read only, or locked, but it didn't seem to solve the problem. I created the files using Pages and saved them as Word docs. 45 -50 files were grouped in a master file. I attempted to send the master file via Mac's mail software and then gmail. Both requested a password from the recipient--which I did not have. I then zipped it and sent it via gmail. I think the recipient could open the main file but not extract individual files without a password. Files were sent to a PC user. I haven't had trouble sending individual files prior, though I have not tried to send these specific ones separately as I'm hopeful there's a better way.
    Thank you for time and assistance.

  • How do I remove Photoshop Elements help files?

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.

    Thanks. Tried the FAQ before posting.  Perhaps you are better at wording a query; my attempts were unsuccessful. Am using the 30 day trial to see if I wish to purchase PE as the Oranizer function is my primary interest. Still would greatly appreciate some guideance so that I might proceed with importing contents of my HD as part my trial.

  • How do I remove damaged or incomplete files from computer?

    I have had difficulty removing about a dozen files from my computer. I have tried all resources that I possess including using the original installation  procedure for Maverick (as described) to no avail. I've tried renaming, seeing if they are locked (they aren't) unlocking the bottom lock in the "Get Info" window, and still no luck. All files contain no bytes of information and some possess a "do Not Open" symbol (a shaded circle with a line through it) I get a message that says it can't be deleted because it is damaged or possibly incomplete files. Some are listed as tmp. files, "Image Capture," "1 Password, and "remove.rtf." I was able to rename them, ie. a single letter "u" but still no luck. Running ther latest Maverick on a MacBook Pro. Any help would be appreciated. A minor problem to be sure, nevertheless. . . . .

    Quoting from the Help:
    If you are an administrator for your computer, you can delete user accounts on your computer that are no longer needed.
    When you delete a user account, you can choose to save the user's files or delete them.
    IMPORTANT: If the user's account is encrypted (FileVault is turned on), turn FileVault off for the user before you delete the account.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
    If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
    Select the user account you want to delete, then click Delete '-'.
    Click OK to save the user's files on the computer, or click Delete Immediately to remove the user account and all the user's files.
    If you saved the user's files, they are stored in a disk image in the Deleted Users folder, which is in the Users folder on your Mac OS X disk. To see the saved files, double-click the disk image in the Deleted Users folder. You can drag the disk image to the Trash to delete the files.
    Note that you have to create a new admin user account for yourself before you proceed: you cannot delete the only admin account on the computer (which would leave you unable to do anything).

  • How do I remove all Google Drive files stored on my MacBook?

    I used my MacBook as my work laptop and thus we all use Google Drive there. However recently I've moved jobs and no longer need access to Google drive files from that old work account anymore. I've gone through and disconnected my account at the top tool bar and also removed the Google Drive App from my Applications folder and my trash has been cleared of everything.
    However, when I search in spotlight for 'Google Drive' loads of my old files still show up in the preview which I assume means theyre still stored on my Mac. How do I just simply remove everything like all folders/documents attached to that Google Drive account off my MacBook?
    Thanks guys!

  • How can I remove a deleted content file from my book's Table of Contents? I

    I deleted the file, saved the book, updated the book, updated the TOC references, and confirmed that the file has been deleted -- but it's still there in the TOC. How can I get it out of there? And at what point in the proceedings should it be gone from the TOC?

    > I deleted the file ....
    How? You need to delete-from-book using the Book menu. A right-click option on the component file name.
    > ... updated the book, ...
    A necessary step, but might not work if the remove isn't done correctly.
    > .... updated the TOC references ...
    What does that mean?
    I would expect a delete-from-book, followed by an update-book, would suffice.
