How to Really delete books and topics

Hi all,
I need to completely delete large parts of a RH project since
the material is now obsolete. It is much more convenient to perform
the deletions by navigating the TOC, since I know where everything
else. The problem is that when I delete a book or topic from the
TOC, it is only the TOC entry that I am deleting, not the actual
reference in the Proj Mngr HTML Files tree (and certainly not the
HTML file itself). So I would then have to go back and delete
those.
So it would be more "efficient" to perform the deletions in
the Proj Mngr HTML Files tree. But they are not ordered in any
logical order; only in ABC order.
So ... is there any way that I can delete a topic from the
TOC pod and *really* delete it?
Tia,

Hi all
avi, it would be just a smidge on the tedious side, but what
about this as a workaround?
Edit the TOC as you are. Right-click each of the topics in
the TOC that you wish to delete. Choose "Show Topic Links" from the
context menu. This should present the topic in the Link View tab
over in your Document Editing Pad. You could then Right-click the
topic in the Link View tab and delete it from there.
It might be easier than locating the topic in the folder and
squashing it that way.
We do see the request a bit to remove topics from the TOC and
the project. I might suggest asking for the following change.
Configure RoboHelp to offer an option that provides a prompt when
deleting a topic from the TOC view. The prompt would ask us if we
would also like to remove the topic (or topics) from the project
too. I would also wish to see an option where I could turn off the
prompt if I choose. In that case, deleting would only remove
references from the TOC structure.
Cheers... Rick

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod. My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway. Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store. What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to. You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases. If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All. LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

There are several nice programs that can help you figure out what's on your computer - OmniDiskSweep, WhatSize, and DaisyDisk are the three I like. If you've had your computer for a while - and especially if this isn't your first Mac and you've been migrating from one computer to another, one of these programs can help you find files you didn't know your computer still had. For example, when I was trying to shed files to fit int a 256GB SSD, I discovered I had nearly 1GB of files in my Application Support folder belonging to programs I no longer used.
Other than that, your easy choice are music, video, and photos. They tend to be the big files. A movie will generally be at least 1.25GB, for example.

Search Conditional Books and Topics

When I apply a conditional build tag to a book and mixed
conditional build tags to the topics within the book, then Search,
RoboHelp searches all topics, even those with the incorrect
conditional build tag.
Does anyone know how to limit the search to only those books
and topics with the same conditional build tag?
Thanks.

We've got the exact same issue going on here with RoboHelp
6... can anybody shed any light on exactly how I'm supposed to keep
the Search function from finding topics that should be excluded
according to their Conditional Build tag?
Here's the breakdown, in case it helps:
1. We publish the same help file to two different audiences
based on Conditional Build tags... some top-level books in the TOC
are generic to both audiences and some are specific to an
individual group.
2. We only manage custom books/topics at the top-most book
level... we either want to show an entire top-level book or we
don't.
3. In the TOC pane in RoboHelp 6, we apply a Conditional
Build tag to the top-level book to determine which "version" of the
project a book should appear in. This tag then cascades to all
sub-books and topics. If a top-level book appears in all versions,
it receives no tag.
4. In the project template we use Conditional Build tags to
create a customized footer.
5. On some generic topics, we use Conditional Build tags to
control the verbiage that is displayed if the page appears in a
certain "version" of the project.
6. We do not do any indexing or use a glossary... our users
can either browse the TOC or do a search.
7. When publishing, we specify the Conditional Build tag and
the TOC displays as expected in the compiled output. It only
contains the desired books as specified by the Conditional Build
tags.
8. When searching for a term in a book/topic that does NOT
appear in the TOC (due to it having the wrong Conditional Build
tag), the search nonetheless finds those topics and displays them
when clicked in the search results list. This is WRONG, WRONG,
WRONG, and in our case, potentially dangerous as the user has no
idea that the content is not appropriate for them.
I assumed that applying the build tag to the top-level book
in step 3 is all that needed to be done. When expanding a book in
the TOC pane in RoboHelp, each individual sub-book/topic correctly
shows that the appropriate tag is applied (both through the
highlight color and right-clicking to view the Apply Conditional
Build Tag flyout menu).
Is there anything I can do to keep the wrong topics from
appearing in the search results when Conditional Build tags are
used? Do I need to apply the correct tag individually to each and
every topic? Do I need to upgrade to RH7 to fix this egregious bug?
FYI - I tried making my build expression both exclusionary
(listing all undesired tags using NOT) and inclusionary using the
Advanced button (only listing the desired tag) and both have the
same result: inappropriate topics still display when doing a
search.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!
***EDIT***
It gets better... I tried deleting the inappropriate books
from the TOC and then publishing using the correct Conditional
Build tag. The wrong topics STILL appear in the search, even though
their parent books no longer appear in any version of the
TOC!

It's not a virus.

HT5772 how can i delete books from ibooks on iMac

how can i delete books from ibooks on imac?

That doesn't work. It only allows you to delete your local copy but keeps the book in your library. The instructions on Apple's site are also incorrect. They suggest going to iTunes and selecting Books from the Library menu, but there is no Books option under that menu in the current version.
Anyone at Apple listening?

How do I delete books

How do I delete books from ICLOUD? I buy a lot of books. After I read them II want to delete them. The cost of storage keeps increasing and if I can't delete books I' ll give up on this and buy a Kindle .

You can't delete them, but you can hide them in iTunes so they no longer appear on your bookshelf, as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
Also, they aren't using any of your personal iCloud storage. They are stored in the iBooks store. The cloud symbols are merely links to your previous purchases in the iBooks store.

How to recover address book and all mailbox data

How to recover address book and all mailbox data, from mounted drive that had OS10.4.11 now has bad blocks, and is not boot-able.
Any help would be appreciated.... hermann

The drive is mounted (appears as a drive on the desktop)? You can't just copy the files, or is it not really mounted?
It would help to have more details on the status of this drive since I am obviously confused as to whether or not it is mounted and appears on the desktop. Is this an internal or external drive? If internal, how are you booting your computer now?
There are data recovery tools such as [Data Rescue II|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [FileSalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1]. Both have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files. If the critical files are located on the bad blocks then there isn't much hope other than to send the drive out to a professional data recovery service which could cost $1000.
The easiest way to recover the files is to get them off a backup drive.

How do I delete history and bookmarks on iMac?

On the iPad, I could use Settings to delete history, but there s no such function on iMac. How do I delete bookmarks and Top Hits and history altogether?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To do it in OS X, open Safari and go to Safari menu (on the menu bar), so you will find an option called "Reset Safari" or something similar. Another way of removing history is to go to Safari menu -> Preferences -> Privacy, and press "Delete All Web Site Data".

My daughter and i share an itunes account. how do i delete her and set her up with her own?

my daughter and i share an itunes account. how do i delete her and set her up with her own?

You need to make an iTunes Store account in her name and with her unique Apple ID. Note that everything she has purchased and downloaded under your Apple ID will not transfer to hers. She will need (or you will) to repurchase all of her iTunes Store items.
She will also need her own user account on the computer if you share the same computer.

I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name, and no trash can icon appears below most of the pictures the computer just put on my new iPhone 4.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.

On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
