How to delete all but visible area of a layer

I think this should be simple, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have a container I'm trying to draw with a border around it, to this border I'm going to apply various effects so it needs to remain a separate layer from the container.
To create the boarder I just created a copy of the container and scaled one down by the size I wanted the boarder to be. Now, in order for the effects I want to apply to work properly (name create a beveled edge), I need to delete the parts of it that are masked by the topmost layer. The only thing I'm coming up with so far is using the magic wand tool to select the top layer and deleting that selection from the bottom layer (which will act as the outside edge of the container). This isn't ideal because it ends up deleting some of the transparency where the containers overlap which I would like to keep.
A side question which I feel I should know, but just can't figure out as of yet. I feel like I shouldn't have to be using the magic wand tool to select the top layer since I want to select everything visible in that layer, is there a way to do this?

Try using:
if label index of the oneItem is not 0 then

Unfortunately, there is no easy way. Delete just as you would any other message that you don't want. It's probably just as well that there is no universal deletion capability. I can see many of us committing a major "oops."

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

How to delete all ALERTS in iCal at once?

Over the years I have added repeating Events with Alerts to iCal on various devices (some of them passed on to my relatives). As a result I get plenty of Alert emails or sounds. I find it onerous to go through all repeating events to delete the alert. Hence my question: how to delete all Alerts at once?
Thanks for any suggestions/pointers/ideas. Cheers, Veit

Hi John,
Thanks so much for your help with this problem. I am trying to remove alerts for a couple of specific shared calendars (which I can edit) but am having some difficulty due to my inexperience with applescript! I am also not sure where else to go for help solving this problem.
My plan is to run your script a couple of times specifying one calendar at a time by name.
This is the modification I made to your script:
tell application "Calendar"
activate
          delay 0.5
          display alert "Removing all alarms from your editable calendars" message "This process may take some time and is permanent. Are you sure you want to do this?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} cancel button 2
          set calname to "Consultant_on_call"
--- repeat with myCalendar in (calendars whose writable is true)
          repeat with myCalendar in (calendars whose name is calname)
                    repeat with myEvent in events of myCalendar
delete display alarms of myEvent
delete mail alarms of myEvent
delete sound alarms of myEvent
delete open file alarms of myEvent
                    end repeat
          end repeat
          display alert "Removing all alarms from your editable calendars" message "This process is complete." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell
Are you able to tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks again.

How to delete all content on a time capsule created by Time Machine, and begin again creating a new savings bundle

How to delete all content on a time capsule created by Time Machine, and begin again creating a new savings bundle ?

You make a sparse bundle.. but don't ask me how that is different to a bundle of savings. Sparsebundle is what the special TM backup is called. It is a kind of disk image I think.. what makes it sparse is unclear as well.
Anyway.. you are on Lion I guess.. download 5.6 utility for Lion. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
So you can get a utility that does utilities.. and not pretty faces.
And go to the disk page and erase the drive.. a quick erase is plenty and is pretty fast.

Thanks

If the emails have been previously deleted (I.e. in the trash folder), tap Edit at the top of the list. You should see a delete all button at the bottom. If the messages are in a standard folder, they need to be handled one at a time.

How to delete all items in the HUB ?

How to delete all items on shot in the HUB ?

Hi all,pay attention to the words I've marked in bold in the first answer from the technical support member: "From the BlackBerry Hub, hold your finger on the date at the top of the list. A side menu will appear. Click on the Garbage Can to delete all messages prior to that date" At first, I also didn't understand how to make it works, but you have to slide until the date is at the top of displayed messages, then you can tap and hold to select all messages preceding that date.

1st Gen Ipod touch - 'updated' library by deleting all but newest

Hi all. A couple of days ago I probably hit the capacity on my 16gb 1stG touch, after downloading a couple of podcasts. It 'updated' my music and video library, deleting all but the newest items.
I'd like to know if my old stuff is still on there - I haven't synced it to a computer since my computer crashed, though we do have carbonite so not all is lost. Was just hoping I wouldn't have to go through all that - that the music and video would still be in there somewhere!
I have used the Touch Copy software before and have put this same question in to their support. Any help / advice would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I've had the same thing happen multiple times over the last year. It always follows downloading podcasts through iTunes (not through a podcast app).
I've only ever fixed it by re-syncing to iTunes. However, I'm away from my computer and no don't have access to any of my music or audiobooks.
I'd love to know how to fix it from the iPod only. I've just power cycled and reset (hold wake/home buttons til it reboots) with no impact.

How can delete all contacts

pls help me to find how can delete all contacts ,, because i forget my restriction password

baprawski,
Is there a particular reason why you want to delete the contacts all at once? The only way you can delete all the contacts all one time would be to wipe the device. This will complete erase all data on the phone including the contacts.
You want to make sure you backup your device uisng the desktop manager. Once you perform the wipe you can then backup your contacts using the desktop manager and just make sure to uncheck the Contacts when backing up so they are not added back to your phone.

How to delete all bookmarks and replace with backup?

Trying to sync my new iPad with my MacBook Pro and iPhone via MobileMe has created some fun new problems. For starters: I now have a full set of duplicate Safari bookmarks. Two of everything.
Fortunately, I (think) I made a safe backup before performing the fateful merge (suggested by Sync) that caused the duplicates. So now I'd like to delete ALL my bookmarks and re-import the saved backup bookmarks.
But I can't figure out how to delete all my bookmarks at once. It looks like my only choice is to delete them one at a time. Is there some way to simply trash the entire bookmarks file and re-import the ones I saved?

HI Adam,
You can use Safari Prairiefire to find duplicate Safari Bookmarks.
http://www.balooba.se/baloobasoftware/index.html
After you install the software which you can use in demo version to do this click the Get Bookmarks tab. Then from the menu click: Tools / Check Duplicates.
I've had the same thing happen using my MobileMe account also.

How to delete all my data from my old 4s

It is easy. You just need to reset your iPhone to factory settings. Go to Settings>General> Reset> Erase All Content and Settings. All data on your iPhone will be erased.
Tips: Be sure you really don't need these data any more. If you are not sure, you can backup your iPhone with iTunes before doing this.
Have a nice day!

How to delete ALL music off your phone?

Not sure if I've got the right part of the forum, so sorry if I'm in the wrong part.
Basically wondering if someone could give me a step by step guide on how to delete all my music off my phone at the one time? Beyond frustrated with iTunes and the iOS 7 update and as petty as it seems, it's making me start thinking of going elsewhere after my contract is up.
Also, is it just me or can you not click and drag on a single song to take it from iTunes to your phone?
Apologies if this doesn't make any sense but I'm ill and half asleep.

If you synced it with iTunes, just un-sync the music and that will remove it.

Can anyone tell me how to delete all the trial programs installed on my computer. I purchaced a Satellite P205-S6347 and it came with so many trial programs and junk that I don't want on my hard drive. I was told by Office depot that they have a program from toshiba that removes all the trial programs and increases the speed but at a cose of seventy dollars. Isn't there a fix from toshiba that I can do myself and save some cash?
I suggest that you start with the PC Decrapifier:
http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/
I'll not go so far to call what the Office Depot folks were pulling a scam, but there is no program from Toshiba to do what they claim. They were just trying to drum up business. I suspect that they might run a few uninstall programs and maybe even run the Decrapifier, if they knew it existed. You can do that and save $70. Spend it on an external hard drive and start doing regular backups.
