  • How to remove old backup files from time machine? Lion OSx

    Hi everyone,
    I am just wondering how to efficiently and safely remove the old backup files from time machine? I tried once with command, but it damaged my extra-disk... Does Lion OSx have fixed that?
    Many thanks
    Hong

    Blue-
    Time Machine will automatically delete back-ups as the need for space arises. If you want to delete a certain file (application, document, whatever) and have it gone for good you can do that as well.
    The best place on the web for information about Time Machine is...

  • HT2518 After using Migrate Assistant, I made several accounts for every attempt to migrate files from PC to Mac. How can I put all accounts together into one? How can I transfer the files from the other accounts to my primary account?

    Okay, so I did the entire Migrate Assistant process to transfer all my files and what not to my MacBook. Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
    How can I transfer my files from the other accounts to my primary account and delete the other accounts?

    Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
    If you had read carefully, Migration Assistant asks what you want to do in this event. That would have precluded the redundancy.
    Part of the fundamental design of OS X is to separate user accounts so that one user can't interfere with another. It's not possible to directly merge an account with another, but you can copy whatever you need to the Shared folder - it is in your Users folder.
    Log in to one account, prefereably a smaller one, and drag the files and folders into Shared. Log out, log into the account you want to be "primary" and drag the files from Shared into their appropriate locations. When you have copied everything you need delete the redundant account.
    Do this for each of them.
    Or, you can just run Migration Assistant again and follow the prompts that address the situation you described. It involves creating a secondary, temporary account from which you can administer the transfer. When it is complete you delete the temporary account(s).

  • Can you remove Old Backup files from Time Machine sooner?

    So I'm aware that the default settings state that Time Machine will start to delete old backup files from your saved destination once that destination starts to approach full storage capacity. But what if you are not looking to fill up most of your storage capacity with Time Machine backups? Is there a way where you can cut the delete threshold in half and have Time Machine delete old backup files sooner rather than later?

    See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.

  • Does anyone know how to remove books/ePub files from iTunes

    Hi.

    I read a lot of book from my iPad.
    I have no problem gelting my books from iTunes to iPad. Problem is, now there is lot lot of books in iTunes, and tis difficult to figure out which i havnet read. So how do i remove them from iTunes. Hope there is a way.

    Hello Zentha,
    You can definitely delete the books from iTunes!  It is the same as deleting anything else from iTunes:
    Delete an item from your library
    Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
    Click Delete Item.
    Do one of the following:
    Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
    Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Recycle Bin. The item is removed the next time you empty the Recycle Bin.
    You can find the full article here:

  • We just received our new mac and took it to the store to have the old files from our last computer transferred over.  Now we can't find all our files.  There was more then one user on the old machine.  How can we find the files from the other users?

    We need to find where the files for the other user on the computer are now located.  There were two other users on the old machine, which was taken into the store and ALL files were suppose to be transferred over to this computer. HELP!

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • How to remove name of file from book?

    Hi there
    I'm about to place an order to buy a book and realized that the name of file appears next to the image.
    can anyone tell how to remove it.
    thank you

    When you are designing a book, on top of the viewer you buttons to edit the layout of the pages.
    The following image will show you the button I'm talking about, it's the grayed one, if you leave the mouse pointer on it for a second you'll see it's called 'edit layout'. Click on it and then you can select and delete all the text boxes you want.

  • How to remove non-audio files from iPod?

    I used my iPod nano to back up some files when my last computer crashed. Now I can't figure out how to delete them. They are labelled "Other" in the section marked "Capacity". Please help!! thanks!

    With disk use enabled, you just open the iPod in Finder. You should be able to see the folder with the photos in it. If you want to copy them to a place on your computer, just drag them there, or to delete them altogether from the iPod, drag them to the trash.

  • How to remove Contribute hidden files from server?

    How can I use Dreamweaver to remove all files that are created by Contribute? To terminate Contribute and it's checkin/out system and everything Contribute might place on the remote server?
    In the site settings and on the local side I have removed all Contribute settings, .LCK files and notes folders that I could find.
    Still remains is Contribute's interfering when I use Dreamweaver's FTP function.
    How do I eradicate Contribute for ever from this domains server?
    Thanks!

    The Firefox/FireFTP is just a workaround and not a solution to the Dreamweaver issue. I've had the same problems in the past with trying to delete directories.

  • How to remove old Facebook faces from iTunes Sync of iPhoto pictures

    Hey,
    I'm using iPhoto since years for collecting and managing all of my pictures.
    Some years ago I allowed iPhoto to connect to Facebook in order to sync pictures and compare names with faces.
    After soe weeks I just deleted this function in order to let iPhoto manage my pictures and faces alone.
    Now after the last update of Mavericks and iTunes I'm quite wondering why iTunes displays all the delected faces  from the facebook integration years ago as an option to sync faces to my iPhone. (but this faces or even names are no longer available in iPhoto library)
    Does anyone know how to solve this.
    Thank you very much indeed

    Thanks for the reply. That's what I thought. The strange thing is every place I look it is correct. The mail account on my Mac is correct and functioning properly. The entries in the MobileMe System Preference is correct as well.
    Is there anyway to force iTunes to update the mail accounts listed or would i have to backup and then deleted the mail account on my Mac and redefine it. Would that work?
    The reason I am trying to get the sync to work is to try and get another problem resolved. My MobileMe Calendar and Contacts are not syncing wirelessly to my iPhone (although mail works fine). I've read in some cases syncing through iTunes will sometimes resolve this issue.
    Thanks again

  • How to remove a particular gadget from windows7 image

    sir how to remove a particular gadget from all other existing gadgets in windows 7sp1 image, can we do it by DISM?

    Hi,
    If the above method doesn't work, you can try pre-configuring sidebar gadgets using unattend.xml, which can be used to override Sidebar default settings.
    To disable Windows sidebar gadgets when windows load, you can configure this following in your unattend.xml.
    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State">
    <settings pass="oobeSystem">
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral"
    versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86">
    <SidebarOnByDefault>false</SidebarOnByDefault>
    </component>
    </settings>
    </unattend>
