HT202537 How can I purge all downloaded software updates?

Hey guys,
Software update has been running on our server and we are no longer using it.
However, the problem is that that the directory "/Library/Server/Software Update/Data/html/content" is now 144GB
I have tried the following command as detailed in Krypted's post here http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/configure-the-software-update-service-on-mavericks-s erver/
sudo serveradmin swupdate:PurgeUnused = yes
Unfortunately the command doesn't appear to be working as I just get a usage response for serveradmin.
Has anyone successfully purged these downloads? Is there another way to achieve this?
Any help most welcome!
We are running Server 3.1.2 on Mavericks 10.9.5

Thanks for the quick reply Antonio.
This was my first thought but I then feared that this may have an adverse effect within the Server App somehow so thought it best to ask on here first of all!
Thanks again

How can I view all downloads?

How can I view all downloads in Yosemite? I just get sent to Terminal.

Thanks for your suggestions about viewing downloads, but I'm afraid none of them worked. Whatever I tried, it always defaults to Terminal. You said the downloads folder can be found in the root, but I don't know how to get to get there. Presumably some command in the Terminal program?
No. You do not want to be using terminal for viewing files. Terminal is a command line interface and best not to be messed with by the uninitiated.
There is some glitch or problem or bug you are experiencing, If clicking the Downloads folder opens Terminal.
You can try deleting the downloads folder off the Dock and drag a new downloads folder from your user home folder, back to the right side of the Dock. The right side Dock icons are simply alias pointing to the parent folder.
If that does not work My best advise would be to simply try re-installing the OS X on top of your existing OS X, I suspect this will sort the problem.

How can I delete old Apple Software Updates from 10.6 server?

Hi guys!!
First of all, please, excuse my english......i know it's the worst possible and will try to develop it.
My question is the following.
The hard disk of my xServe is almost full and I need to delete the old Apple Software Udates that it contains (some of them are from 2005!!)
And I don´t know how to make it!!
I`ve uncheck the "automatically enable copied updates" option in Server Admin and I´ve check-in the "Purge unused/legacy software", but i don´t know how to delete the oldest Apple Software Updates because I don´t know where the **** are they!!
Thank's in advance from Spain.
Any help will be very wellcome
J.

You could try what
s in <http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9289958#9289958>, or, as this is a new setup which isn't in use, you could just nuke the system and reinstall and this time use the correct DNS name.

How can I cancel the iOS software update?

For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
Thanks for any help...

I had the SAME problem & it was incredibly frustrating. Having WiFi disabled for days caused me to eat up A LOT of my data plan. It is total BS that there is no way to cancel an OTA download. And it is total BS that no one can get ANY help on this issue. There should be a way to cancel or at least downgrade if you don't like the newest iOS.
So, since Apple won't let you downgrade if you went ahead & installed it, and Apple won't help AT ALL if you don't want iOS 6, I had to figure it out myself. Here's what I did....
The stupid iOS 6 update that nobody wants needs a certain amount of free space in order to download & install. I had started the download & disabled WiFi like you did, so the download was paused. While it was paused, I set my video camera to record & it sat there & recorded for like 2.5 hours (ugh) before it finally took up all the space on my phone. Then, I went back in & enabled WiFi & checked the piece of junk iOS 6 install & it now said it couldn't download b/c there wasn't enough space.
I figured this solution still s ucks b/c now I can't download any apps or take any more pics or vids. About 30 minutes later, though, I went back to the horrible iOS 6 download & a message popped up saying there wasn't enough space. When I hit "OK" or whatever to clear the message, the screen had reset & gone back to the "download & install" button. FINALLY I was able to stop the download & installation of iOS 6. THANK GOD. I want nothing to do with it, and there is NO WAY Apple is taking my Google Maps or YouTube.

My iTunes playlist page is frozen and I cannot connect with purchase store. I miss an update download this week and I am not sure if this is needed to fix a bug. How can I recover this download to update?

My iTunes playlist page on PC is frozen and I cannot connect to store for purchase. I missed an iTunes update download this week and I don't know if this would fix a bug. How can I recover this download to have the latest update.

It would be best to post this question under iTunes category. I am sure there are a few people having the same type of problem.

How can I purge all Local History?

My Local History has somehow gotten corrupted and nothing I have tried has gotten it working again. (See Re: Local History quit working
I've tried turning off Local History and turning it back on, setting "Days to Keep History" to 0 and "Maximum Revisions per File" to 1 (the minimum value it will accept) and then resetting it back to normal values, and even completely deleting the .history folder where the Local History is stored. (After deleting the .history folder, JDeveloper recreates it and repopulates it with old revisions.)
How can I completely purge all of the Local History and start from a clean slate?
Thanks,
--Rob Roberts

I finally found where JDeveloper was caching the Local History information. It was in file jdevhome/system/oracle.javatools.cache/anspersist_0.stf.
Deleting that file and the entire jdevhome/system/.history folder has gotten Local History to work right again (although with all previous history information gone, of course).

How can I purge ALL but one apple ID

we have multiple apple id's across four devices. each likely have personal info and credit card info.
and currently the four devices use / shared just one apple id.
how can we identify and purge the others ??? I don't know what they are, I just know they are in
the system.
I didn't realize we had several until I went to use one of the devices and was denied saying the device
was no longer eligeble for the icloud account.. I thought I'd backup the kids stuff so I didn't cause
world war three and create a new user for me, the dad. I'd like control of the tv remote sometime too!
please advise!

How can I purge all duplicates from my iTunes library at once?

Someone else asked this question:
Hi
For some reason when I deleted my duplicates it deleted them all from itunes so I had re import them all in and now I have 2-3 duplicates of EVERY song in EVERY album? I have 20GB of duplicates alone! How do I delete them without going mad by deleting individually?"
and it was never answered so I figured I'd make a new thread to try and get some help. I have the same problem in that when I extracted the backup files from my external hdd on my new macbook it created 3-5 duplicates of all my songs. So like the quote above I have 3-5 duplicates of ALL songs from EACH separate artist.
Is it possible to somehow purge all of these duplicates at once, on a macroscopic level? It would take forever to modify individually, as I now have over 27,000 files (originally around 5,500 songs).

Use Option > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. If the duplicates are clearly grouped in time this may not be too hard to achieve.
Alternatively visit Doug's Scripts and avail yourself of Dupin or Dupin Lite.

How can i speed up a Software update? iOS 5 on iPod (downloading on iTunes)

Title says it all

You can't make the download faster. Could be to much traffic on the iTunes servers causing this slow download.
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later

How can I ignore or skip Software Update?

Hi
Yesterday , I've updated my bb z10 to 10.1 and in Software update step I can not skip this part .
Also only show Cheking for update without doing something.
I would know If I reload this device my bb z10 remain in os 10.1 or going back to os 10?
this is my situation and also I can not go back or next step , what I have to do?

You can reload your device OS using BlackBerry Link. If you do so, you'll be reloading the past OS you had and not the new one. You have to specifically accept the new OS in order to load it otherwise you'll get the previous version you had on your phone.
I hope I've answered your question. If not, please post back with more information.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.
