How to Properly Remove iPhoto Alias Folders

Hello Team,
Over the many years as an iPhoto user, I have made many upgrades to my iPhoto Library. I have noticed that each upgrade comes with its quirks. The one that is recently bugging me are the alias folders that are created within iPhoto when you 'Show Package Content' in Finder.
For example, showing the contents of iPhoto shows that my files are no longer located in the 'Originals' folder, but now in a 'Masters' folder. I have a 'Library6.iPhoto' along with a 'Library.iPhoto'.
There are a few other alias folders that I'm sure came with upgrades since when I create a fresh iPhoto Library, none of those folders are present.
So my question is... "How do I (or iPhoto) remove these folders properly?"
I'd like to have all the photo nice and clean with the most up-to-date file hierarchy and not some fragmented linking from yesterday. Why does Apple do this? Is there a good reason?
Also to note, I have tried copying a smaller library with the same issue and tried rebuilding the database, library, thumbnails, etc without any luck of making them disappear.
Thoughts??
Thanks!!

Was hoping there was an Apple sanctioned consolidation tool that would convert everything to the new heirarchy.
The "Apple Sanctioned" consolidation tools are the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. They will rebuild the iPhoto Library in exactly the way how it is supposed to be organized.
Back up your library, hold down the ⌥⌘ command keys, launch iPhoto and run "Rebuild Library". The result should be very similar to what you are seeing now. However, rebuilding shpuld only be done, if iPhoto is not working properly or before a software upgrade, that will reorganize the library.
If you want to access your photos, there are more versatile and safer ways than digging around in the package:

How to properly remove replicas from iDS 5.0 servers

How to properly remove replicas and their associated entries from directory servers?
This question may seem trivial, however the reason I am asking this is that shortly after replicas are removed from supplier and consumer servers, slapd.exe generates an error on both machines, usually within 2 to 3 minutes after removal. That causes servers to restart and any other program connected to one of those two machines has to be restarted as well (or at least recconnected to them), which is very annoying, especially if those programs are in the middle of some processing and need to write or retrieve something from LDAP server.
I am using iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 SP1, on two Win2K machines. One server has a single master replica, other is the consumer - a tipical test configuration.
The documentation (Administrator's guide) is quite extensive in describing how to set up replication, but there is nothing on how to bring replicas down.
I can only imagine that entries should be removed in reverse order as they were created (directory entries, replication agreement, databases, suffixes, etc...), and that has been tried numerous times. Nevertheless, the problem persists.
Can anyone please help me?

It would help if you could tell us which error is occuring on the servers...
Anyway the way to stop replication is :
1) Remove replication agreements.
2) Disable Replica.
That should be enough.
You don't need to remove the entries, database not suffixes.

Ludovic.

How do I remove an alias from my Apple ID?

How do I remove an old [email protected] alias from my Apple ID when there is no Delete button? Further, I can create new alias and delete them again because new alias come with a Delete button, but how can I remove the old alias? Any suggestions?

Thanks Old Toad, but I try to remove the alias online from iCloud - from the screen dump you send show. I can add new alias and remove them as well. Maybe I got it all wrong?
The problem is, my primary email address is 100% correct, but where it say "Email address" on your screen dump, I have an faulty email address which cannot be removed? The faulty email address come from a person who try to log into and create a new Apple ID on my iPad 6 months ago. The person did not have access to my password but my Apple ID (my email address) was of course available in the iPad. I cannot understand how someone can add himself as "alias" in my Apple ID without access to my password? But this is how his email ended up on my Apple ID and I cannot remove it...

How do I remove "Bookmark Bar" folders in Safari Bookmarks?

My Bookmarks sync fine between my iPhone and iPad, except that iCloud keeps creating "Bookmark Bar" folders. They are driving me crazy because I cannot delete OR move them out of the way.
There are now SIX unused (empty) "Bookmark Bar" folders making it rediculously cumbersome when I try to scroll down to my actual Bookmarks.
PLEASE, oh PLEASE HELP! How can I remove all those "Bookmark Bar" folders?
I am on iPad2 and iPhone4 with the latest iOS. I tried turning iCloud "Sync Bookmarks" off, rebooting both devices, and turning Sync back on. That seems to be when iCloud wants to add even more empty "Bookmark Bar" folders.
- Cody

Ok, so...ARGH!!! The solution was SO SIMPLE that I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out.
Long story short: I was able to delete the "Bookmarks Bar" folders (15 in all!) from my PC (Win7). AND, the process did NOT delete all my existing iDevice Bookmarks (YAY!).
So, in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread with the same issue:
Open iCloud on your PC
Turn on option to sync bookmarks with IE
('yes' to merge bookmarks- This step does not delete your existing bookmarks on your iDevices)
Make sure your iDevices are set to sync bookmarks in iCloud.
Next, open your "Favorites" in IE on your PC and right-click/delete all "Bookmarks Bar" folders.
Voila! Done! No more Bookmarks BarS...although there will be ONE that will not go away. One is better than 15:)

How to properly remove "Network" from Windows Explorer and Save Dialog boxes?

I've recently rolled out Windows 7 and noticed that in some applications (Office 2003 - yes we are due for an upgrade - happening later this year), when a user clicks the down arrow in a "Save As" dialog box to view the available locations - a
list of seemingly every computer in the broadcast domain is generated and displayed. This takes about 30-45 seconds. I don't want my users to be able to view a list of every computer in their broadcast domain, and I especially don't want them to
be presented with said list every time they try to save something. In newer apps, the list is not automatically displayed but is still accessible by clicking the "Network" selection.
What is the proper way to remove this?
I've tried the following:
1) Disabling the NetBios over TCPIP service - works but prevents other things from working properly.
2) Disabling the Computer Browser service - does not work.
3) Changing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}\ShellFolder\Attributes from b0040064 to b0940064 as suggested here -http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/39699-network-add-remove-navigation-pane.html
. This seems to work but I cannot find anything that says this is supported by Microsoft and I am wary of what side effects may occur.
4) Using a GPO to enable the "No Computers Near Me in Network locations" and "No Entire Network in Network locations." - no change.
It seems like there should a simple way to do this as I can't be the only admin that doesn't want their users browsing a list of every computer on the network.
Thanks!

How to properly remove faulted Forte_Executor subagents?

Hi everybody,
When running distributed from the partition workshop, it often happens,
after a bad application failure, that
your server partition agent remains on your server in a bad state.
The consequence is :
- in EScript : When using "FindSubAgent" or "ShowSubagent" on the
faulted agent, you get a bunch of Forte
exceptions telling you that this agent has a big problem
- in EConsole : When you try to open the "Forte_Executor_<NodeName>"
partition, EConsole does an abnormal exit
because it does not handle the exceptions mentioned before.
Does anybody know a good, clean means to remove these faulted agents ?
(other than restarting the node manager)
I tried to identify the pid and use kill -9 to remove it, but sometimes I
probably killed the wrong process and things
became a terrible mess after that.
Thank You !

How do I remove an alias from the doc once I have removed the program from my Mac?

I am having problems with Skype so have been advised to remove from my computer and re-install. However, the Skype icon cannot be removed from the dock.

From a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.dock.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Then try dragging the Skype icon off the Dock.

How do I remove Aperture trial and go back to iPhoto (be kind, I'm new).

How do I remove the Aperture trial and go back to iPhoto. For my usage (just iPhone pics/movies) iPhoto is okay for me, but now I cannot figure out how to remove Aperture, when I drag to Trash I get a warning that Aperture is a system file.
Please help, but also, please go slow if you can help, I am new to my Mac.

Should be pretty easy as follows:
1 - Make sure you have copies of any pictures you want that are inside Aperture somewhere on your computer.
2 - Quit Aperture > Remove any Aperture icon from dock > drag the Aperture program (lens icon) from Applications folder to the Trash > proceed through any warning dialog (including entering password as required) to complete the process.
Note - new security features in OS X Lion may present those warning dialogs to prevent accidental deletion of Apple programs.
3 - Hold down the 'Option' key and use the 'Go' menu in menu bar and select the 'Library' option.
4 - In the Library folder, open the 'Application Support' folder and delete any Aperture folder found.
5 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Preferences' folder and delete both the 'com.apple.Aperture.plist' and 'com.apple.Aperture.plist.lockfile' file.
6 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Caches' folder and delete the 'com.apple.Aperture' folder.
7 - Go the your 'Pictures' folder and drag the 'Aperture Library' (may be named Aperture Trial Library or similar) to the Trash to delete it as well.
8 - Empty the Finder Trash to remove Aperture.
Note - there are some files and Aperture folders in the '/Library' folder (which is in the root of your system drive), but you don't really need to remove those. Since you are a beginner, it is probably better not to for now.
That should do it.
Additional edit: There are two Library folders I am referring to. The first is the one in your user account 'Home' folder which is the one you are going to by using the 'Go' menu. This is the one you are deleting files from in the steps listed. The second Library folder is the one in the root of your system drive and is not typically a location for beginners to work with (thus the final note above). Hope that is clear enough.

How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
Can someone help????
I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
