How to delete all my files from my Mac?
Can anyone help me, how do I delete all my files from my Mac?
If you want to eventually sell or give away your Mac, follow the below steps to prepare it.
If your old Mac shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, boot into Internet Recovery by holding down Cmd-opt-r on restart. When it boots, select Disk Utility and erase the Macintosh HD volume, then reinstall the OS. It will install the OS the Mac shipped with.
If it shipped with Snow Leopard, boot from the original install disk and select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu which you will see after selecting the Language. From there, select the Hard drive device (top of the list), and click on the Partition tab. Set it to 1-partition, give the new volume a name (Macintosh HD), and click Apply.
If you just want to get rid of the data off the Mac, create a new Admin user account, log into it, then delete your user account from the Users & Groups system Prefs. It will ask if you want to keep or delete the home folder.

How to delete all music files from iPhone4S
I had some music files loaded on my iPhone4S. In iTunes I converted all of the files from MP3 to AAC. When the iPhone synced, it added the AAC in addition to the MP3's! I think that the only fix would be to delete all of the files from the iPhone and resync. How would I do this?
BobYou can delete the on your phone by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, tap Music, tap Edit, tap next to All Music. Or, you can delete them from iTunes by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

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.
ThanksIt 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.

if you delete a large file from the mac hard drive does it also delete it from time machine on the external hard drive ?
As the others say, no, the backup copy won't be deleted immediately, but it will eventually.
If you want to delete all backups of a selected item, such as for space or security reasons, see #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. -
I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account from a different web browser it still only shows 13,032. Meanwhile on my mac book pro, the "icloud" contact is still spinning like its trying to update the rest of the missing contacts. I have let the computer run for 2 days straight and still no progress. Is there a limit to how many contacts I store on "iCloud" I have upgraded to the extra 25 gigs per year. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it, because its also slowing down my mac book pro significantly causing it hard to do any other task on my computer....Any advice or help would be again greatly appreciated.
On the surface, it doesn't sound like you're reaching a limit in the number of contacts you can have.
I would first create a contacts archive (file >> export) for a backup. Then, go to system preferences >> icloud and uncheck contacts. Reboot. Return to those preferences and recheck contacts.
Also, review http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489 just in case you have some contact cards that are reaching a different limitation. -
How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad
Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC -
how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?
Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert. If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here. Google. -
How to delete the Generated files from application server(open hub)?
hi experts,
when i try to execute process chain the DTP it is giving below dump. Exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED logged.

so to delete the generated file from application server, how to delete it for specific dates?
Information on where terminated
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" - in
"START_ROUTINE".
The main program was "RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS ".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 2874
of the (Include) program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM".
The program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" was started as a background job.
and when i check the dump it is point out at below code
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC
into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
but the programme is syntactically correct only.
how to rectify the issue.
regards

Edited by: venugopal vadlamudi on Sep 28, 2010 1:59 PMhi experts,
We have written start routine to get the storage location text and sending to File located at Application server through OPEN HUB.
here is the code written in the Transformations
In the global section
Text for 0STOR_LOC
DATA: l_0stor_loc_text TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /bi0/tstor_loc
WITH UNIQUE KEY stor_loc.
DATA: l_0stor_loc_text_wa TYPE /bi0/tstor_loc.
and in the code to get the text
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
*SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC*
into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
im sure there is problem with the Routine only. i think i need to change the code if so please provide me the modified one.
thanks

How do you transfer the stickie data file from one mac to another?
I think this is the file -
In (hard drive) > Users > yourhomefolder (the one with the house icon) > Library, look for a loose file named StickiesDatabase
Copying that file to the same location on the new machine (and replacing the file there now) should move the notes. It is probably a good idea that both machines be running the same OS X version. -
How can I delete all music files from my iPhone and start again?
I rebuilt my iTunes library. I was under the impression that the first post-rebuild sync would erase all media from my iPhone.
Under the Summary tab in iTunes, I checked Sync only checked songs and videos, and in my music list all songs are unchecked.
Under the Music tab in iTunes, I checked Sync Music, and because all my songs are unchecked it shows 0 songs.
However, after syncing, the status bar at the bottom of the Music tab still shows all my songs previously loaded as taking up memory, and when I open the Music app on my iPhone all those songs are still listed (although they are not playable).

New to Time Machine. The HD on my Mac Air is full so I got an external HD and using TM to back up everything.
Can I erase all files (pictures, docs, etc) from my Mac and still have access to those files through Time Machine?That is a bad idea. Time Machine is strictly a backup utility. What you describe will require archiving files, which Time Machine is not designed to accomplish.
Once you erase files from your MacBook Air, they will eventually be erased from your Time Machine backup. This is by design, as Time Machine will eventually fill your backup volume and will delete old files as required. Depending on when they were first backed up and how long they existed on your MBA before you erase them, they could disappear in as little as one hour.
Use Carbon Copy Cloner or equivalent "clone" utility and configure it to archive files that do not exist on the source, or simply copy them over manually using the Finder. You can then delete them from your MBA. Bear in mind that once you do that, you no longer have a backup copy. The only copies will exist on the external HD. -
How to delete all offline file references in a catalog?
I backed up and restored my entire photo archive to a new computer. I've never used offline files, but somehow I now have hundreds (if not thousands) of offline file icons, right next to the exact same file date and time, except the images are now named [filename]-1.jpg
I've tried the "reconnect files" and delete, but it tells me I have no files to reconnect.
I'd wipe and reinstall, but I have a sneaking suspicion those "offline files" are embedded into my last backup, and I'd just be doing all that work for nothing.
How can I go through and bulk-select and delete *all* references to offline files?
Thanks in advance.
- Bruce.Hi John...
Thanks for the reply. I just have a couple of comments to make on results:
(1) HMBM is listed as being in a DVD drive , I know the disk, but that drive is currently empty.
(2) E: could certainly be one of my backup drives, but the file pathe (for 2004) seems to be off, as most of the missing / duplicate files are from 2007. (It currently is not attached.)
Thanks for looking ino this.
