How to delete a MOV file off of my iPad

I just bought a Nikon S8100 camera, it can shoot video as well. I shot a couple of test videos, and left it in 1080p mode. I used my camera kit to connect it directly to my iPad, and uploaded the pictures I had taken, and the two videos. They all load into the Photos app on the iPad, but the videos won't play. I figured out that the format was not supported on the iPad. When I lower the resolution to 720p or lower, it will play on the iPad, and can be managed there. My problem is that I can't figure out how to DELETE the 2 .mov files I initially loaded. When I am in the Photos app, the thumbnail just say "MOV". Unlike every other item, this one I cannot select, so I can't delete. I've tried syncing through iTunes and accessing my iPad files that way, but there does not seem to be an option there to delete.

I had the same problem with my Kodak FX3 (Playsport) camcorder.  I uploaded some .MOV files to my iPad but it won't play them and I can't seem to delete them.
These files don't show up in the Video app so we can't use that to delete them.
Any suggestions?  Anyone?
Thanks

  • How Do I Delete My Backup Files off of my Hard Drive?

    I finally figured out what was eating up all of my hard drive! Check this out:
    43 Gigs in Backup!
    Now I can't figure where these files are located and how to delete all these files? I have a LaCie external drive I just purchased and would like to begin using it for backup purposes but in the meantime I wanted to delete all 43 gigs of waste. Can someone tell me how to do it? Thanks!

    Thank you ...I guess?
    I called Support and they helped me locate the files which was one "molecule of info" I gave in my message and they also helped me delete them which was the other molecule of information given. Backup 3 was the program which I failed to mention. In any event Apple Support was awesome to those of us new to Macs.
    Remember everyone is or has been a "newbie" to Mac.......

  • Password required to delete or move files in Mavericks - permissions

    I have the problem  where when I try to delete or move files, I get asked for a password.  I've read the various old threads on this problem, and tried the following fixes:
    Using Disk Utility, repaired permissions
    Booting into the passwork reset utility (holding cmd-R on startup), and resetting permissions
    Changing the permission on .Trash
    None of this worked.
    I began exploring the permissions on my files and on all of them, info reported that the file permissions were generally set as:
    everyone - Custom
    (Me) - Read & Write
    staff - Read only
    Sometimes there was an additional entry of  everyone - Read & Write
    In reading about permissions, I couldn't figure out what that "Custom" meant.  If I did an ls -l on that file, I got -rw-r--rw-@
    I have found that if I reset the permission for everyone to Read only, and make that Custom privilege go away, the passwork requirements for that file also go away.  If I use the Info panel, if there is a second everyone entry, I have to remove that by setting it to No Access.  Only then can I change the upper everyone privilege from custom to Read only.  But that fixes the problem for that file.
    So, here's my ask.  How do I do this over all my files?  Executing CHMOD 744 (filename) does not remove the everyone - Custom privilege, and thus doesn't fix the problem.

    As I've explored this further, it's apparent that this is an ACL problem, where the everyone deny delete ACL permission is being set. (Not sure of the right terminology here.) This can be cleared with the command:  chmod -N (filename)
    For some reason, this has propagated throughout my file system, creating havoc in applications.  Dropbox won't update because the files can not be changed, bookmarks in Safari can't be removed, etc. I've fixed the application problems for now with chmod -R -N ~/Library but there's no telling what other damage I may have done by removing all the ACL permissions from all those files.
    The question I'm chasing now is what is changing the ACL's on these files.  It appears that the ACL settings are inherited from the folder, but when I check the folder properties with Get Info, I don't find anything.  What am I missing?

    When space get's that low, you won't be able to download a movie.  Delete things from your iPad you don't use or need.  Memory hogs are unused apps, pictures, music, videos.  Almost anything you take off iPad can be put back on.  So delete some things to create enough space.

    Kodak Digital Camera QuickTime MOV Problems
    After battling a number of serious problems with the videos taken by my new Kodak Digital Camera, I decided to write up this page so that anyone searching the web would find out the true answers without as much grief!
    I’ve also made some other comments about my experience with the camera, in case anyone was considering buying a Kodak camera in the near future.
    I bought the camera just before Christmas 2004 in the US. At the time of writing, it is a pretty good model for domestic use—about 5.2 megapixels, costing about US$400 (or AU$600 back here in Australia). From a company as reputable as Kodak, I expected no problems.
    The first disappointing thing was that the spring inside the spring-loaded battery clip, inside the camera, came loose within days. It proved impossible to reattach it without completely dismantling the camera, which (despite my engineering qualifications) I was not willing to do. This would usually have been a warranty item, but Kodak’s warranty does not extend to other countries. I’ve since had to jam cardboard in to keep the battery clip engaged, and have taped the battery bay shut to avoid it opening accidentally when taking the camera out of the case. This works fine with the docking station (an extra AU$100!), but it means I can no longer charge the battery without the docking station (since you need to take it out to charge it). I was not impressed!
    The camera takes good photos, and I have no complaint with that. The controls and camera menus are well-designed. The large display is excellent.
    The EasyShare software is not as easy to use as it looks, has a habit of crashing, has a web update program that is always running in the background of Windows, and transferring images is nowhere as easy or quick as it should be. I’ve now uninstalled it completely, and simply copy the photos directly from the device. (If the camera memory is nearly full, and you just want to transfer the last few photos, then it’s impossible to use the EasyShare software to browse the camera’s photos without it actually downloading the whole lot through the USB cable—and it takes forever! Copying from the device directly doesn’t hit this bug.)
    The capability to take video using the camera was a great attraction when I selected it, and, if it worked properly, it would make it quite a handy little camcorder in its own right. With a 512 MB memory card in it, over an hour of video can be recorded at Video-CD quality (320 x 240 24fps video, 8 kHz audio). It’s not full digital video, but it would still be a pretty good feature for a US$400 camera. If it worked.
    The first disappointing thing about taking videos is that the optical zoom cannot be adjusted while the camera is recording. It can only be adjusted between video sequences. I don’t know why this restriction was made in the design.
    The real problems, however, start when you try to do anything with the video clips captured by the camera. Kodak has chosen to capture the videos in QuickTime format. This is fine—QuickTime is, technically, excellent—except that there is no simple way to convert QuickTime MOV files to AVI or MPEG or VCD. The Kodak software comes with a QuickTime player, so you can see the video clips on the computer you installed the software on—and they look good. Problem is that you can’t just dump those MOV files onto your Video-CD creator (it will usually want AVI or MPEG files).
    It takes some time to realise that Kodak have not even bothered to include any software with the camera that can convert these MOV files to a more useful format. This is a serious PR blunder, and anyone bitten by this is unlikely to go near the Kodak brand ever again.
    After some web searching, owners of these cameras generally find that the best (only?) freeware solution to convert MOV to AVI is Bink and Smacker’s RADtools program.
    RADtools is amazingly powerful for the price (i.e. free), but it hits two fundamental problems with Kodak Digital Camera MOV video files, that are the fault of the Kodak camera, not RADtools. (I know this because every other MOV converter hits the same problems—except one, as you will see below.)
    The first problem is that the sound cannot be converted properly. When you convert any Kodak MOV files, there is an “aliasing” of the sound at the upper frequencies. This is a technical description—you get a whispery, tinny, C3PO type of echo to everything. It really destroys the quality of the video clips (especially bad when I am trying to capture priceless memories of my 4- and 7-year-old sons—I don’t want their voices destroyed for all time).
    Every conversion program I tried ended up with the same audio problem. I concluded that it is something strange in the way the Kodak cameras store the MOV files.
    Strangely enough, I noticed that the QuickTime player didn’t distort the audio like this. The audio sounds just fine through QuickTime. More on this shortly.
    The second, more serious problem is that RADtools could not properly convert some of the video clips at all. (This problem only affected less than 10% of the clips I originally filmed, but most of those clips were very short—less than 20 seconds. It seems that the probability of this problem gets worse, the longer the clip.) RADtools would misreport the number of frames in the clip, and would stretch out a small number of frames of video (in slow motion) to match the length of the audio.
    Again, I confirmed that this is a property of some of the MOV files stored by the camera. Other conversion tools also had problems with the same MOV clips.
    After more angst, I found a number of websites in which frustrated owners of these Kodak cameras have reported the exact same problems.
    It was only then that I discovered that QuickTime itself can convert MOV files to AVI. Believe it or not, it’s built into the QuickTime Player that Kodak supplies, or that you can download free from apple.com. The problem is that you can’t use it unless you pay Apple to upgrade to QuickTime Pro.
    After realising that this would probably be the only way to get decent audio for these clips, I paid the AU$59 to Apple Australia to get the licence key that enables the extra “Pro” menu options in QuickTime.
    Sure enough, you can “Export” any MOV file to a number of formats, including AVI. And guess what? The audio comes out fine!
    So, the first piece of advice I can give is: pay Apple the US$29 (or whatever amount it is in your country) to upgrade QuickTime to QuickTime Pro.
    From here, however, there are still a few snags to untangle.
    The first is that the default settings for Exporting to AVI don’t give a great result. It defaults to the Cinepak codec, medium quality. This looks terrible compared to the original QuickTime movie. Even on maximum quality, that codec just doesn’t give good results.
    I finally found that the best option is to use the Intel Indeo Video 4.4 codec, set on maximum quality. This creates AVI files that are 10 to 20 times larger than the original MOV files, but the quality is there. If (like me) you only want the AVI files so you can dump them into your Video-CD program, then you want to keep the quality as high as possible in this first step. The extra hard disk space is not really a concern. When your VCD program converts the AVI files to MPEG, it will compress them to the usual VCD size.
    Now for the biggest snag: those problem MOV files are still a problem, even for QuickTime Pro. Unbelievably, these Kodak cameras are spitting out MOV files which have some sort of technical flaw in their data specifications. QuickTime is able to play them back fine—and that seems to be all that the Kodak engineers really checked. However, if QuickTime Pro tries to export them, then when the progress bar gets to the end, it never finishes. It just keeps going. If you check the output folder with Explorer, and keep hitting F5 to update the file listing, you can see the file getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It never stops.
    That this happens even for QuickTime itself (the native format for these files) confirms that the problem is with the software built into these Kodak cameras. It would be nice it they issued a patch or a fix. I couldn’t find one.
    Fortunately, there is a “workaround” for this problem. I found it when trolling the net trying to find solutions to all these problems. The workaround is to use QuickTime Pro’s cut and paste facility. Open the problem MOV file, then press Ctrl-A (the standard key combination for “select all”—in this case it selects the entire film clip, as you can see by the grey selection of frames at the bottom of the player). Then hit Ctrl-C (i.e. copy, which in this case copies all the frames, but not the incorrect data structure in the original MOV file). Now hit Ctrl-N (i.e. new, in this case a new MOV file or player). In this new player, press Ctrl-V (i.e. paste). Now you have a new version of the MOV file with the bad data structure exorcised. You can save this under a new name, but make sure you specify “Make movie self-contained”—otherwise, it will simply be a link to the original (bad) MOV file, which you are probably going to delete once you save the exorcised version. (You also cannot overwrite the original file, because it needs to access that to make the “self-contained” movie. You need to give it a slightly different name, save it “self-contained”, then delete the original and rename the new copy back to what you wanted it to be. A pain, I agree, but at least the **** thing works—finally!)
    The exorcised MOV file can now be used to Export to AVI format. (I also keep all the MOV files on a separate CD, in case I want to reconvert them to a different format in the future. I figure it’s better keeping the exorcised ones than the haunted ones.)
    So I hope that all this answers a few of your questions. No, you weren’t being incredibly stupid.

  • How to delete unused audio files in a project?

    Hi guys,
    The question is fairly simple:
    How to delete unused audio files in a project?
    I can't manage to find the answer in the manual,... all I could find is how to delete audio outside used regions!
    But in the projects I use, I have loads of outtakes which I don't use in the project anymore, and now, I would like to delete them of the audio folder to save space on the HD.
    Can Logic select automatically the takes in the audio files folder which are not used in the project and delete them??
    Because there is hundreds of audio files per project, and +/- 50 projects, I just can't do it manually.
    Thanks,
    Fred

    Whoops! Yes, I knew that but a cow flew by... Sorry!
    The procedure I follow is to do what I described then Save as Project, creating a project folder. That way only the required audio is saved to the folder and I delete all temporary stuff. However, if you have folders with shared material, it's much harder and would require you to go through all your projects doing Save as Project before you could delete your old working folder.
    When doing day to day work, best practice is to create a new folder and only use Save as Project when you're working on stuff. Shared material (eg sample libraries etc) can go elsewhere and you can get Logic to copy those to the project folder automatically.
    Otherwise, Shift-Backspace in the Audio window, as you rightly say

    Not possible. Safari won't download and save a Zip file. You either had to use a 3rd party app, or as wjosten suggests, your phone is jailbroken. If the former, you'll need to use that app to find it. If the latter, you'll have to look elsewhere for assistance.

  • How to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control

    Hi
    Anybody suggest me how to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control.
    Thanks

    It is important to specify both, the oracle version and os version when posting, so confusions can be avoided.
    In this particular case, since you are referring to asm and grid control you could be talking about either 10gR1, 10gR2 or 11gR1; but I strongly suggest you to avoid us to be guessing. In either case, you sould go to the maintenance tab of the target database and program a scheduled 'delete noprompt obsolete;' procedure. This will purge the information stored at the Flash recovery area, which I assume you have declared inside the ASM.
