HT3847 how do you determine a file is "empty"?

I have somehow duplicated all my iTunes files... thereby taking up valuable space on my harddrive. This was caused by moving my iTunes "music, etc" back to the harddrive after using an external HD for a long time.
I have read the article saying something about files being in "ITunes Media", rather than just "iTunes". So, it seems that I should just be able to remove all duplicates that have the path without "iTunes Media". HOWEVER, I am not able to find the FOLDER called "iTunes Media" on my harddrive... which seems it should be in the "Music" folder.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The iTunes Media folder is located in the /Music/iTunes/ folder.
Everything in iTunes is in /Music/iTunes/ folder.

How did you "move" the files?

Mailexample.sql how do you determine the file type?

I'm using the mailexample.sql which explains how to use the demo_mail wrapper package for utl_smtp. There's a procedure for attaching text files and a procedure for attaching binary files. I've got binary files to attach to email successfully.
How can I determine the file type so that I can use the attach_text procedure when attaching text files rather than the procedure for attaching binary files?

Watch out! I think there is a bug in that code :-
bug with PL/SQL Sample - maildemo.sql
To answer your question - the usual way of determining a file type is to look for 'magic numbers' in the file that indicate its type. For example, Windows exe files often (always?) begin with the two letters 'MZ'. Zip files begin with 'PK'; Rar archives begin with 'Rar!'. Text files can begin with anything, and do not have any characteristic marker, but USASCII7 (which is what the format that routine is designed for - I think), is a characterset that only uses the first 7 bits of the byte. You could read the file, and if you find any bytes > 127, then you know it is not a USASCII7 file. I have seen various programs that 'sample' the first 64 or 256 bytes of a file instead of reading the whole file, and they usually get it right.
Hope this helps.

How can you determine a file creation date and know if it's been altered since the creation date

I need to know how to determine a file creation date on an ipad. If someone creates a document/note on an ipad how can you tell when it was created and if it has been altered since?

Unless you are using a third party app that provides that functionality, in iOS the only thing youcan access is the last edit/save date and time, which is fairly evident in the user interface for documents and notes. Some apps that handle MS Office files may provide that, but ican't say first hand.

How do you determine resolution for a given print size in LR?

CS3 displays image resolution for a given size. How do you determine what that resolution is in LR for a given print size, so you know whether you should upsize or downsize for optimum print resolution range?

The only way I know of is to work it out. LR and PS make assumptions that are often not ideal (although the differences may not be noticable). Different printers like different resolutions per inch. For example, I once had an Olympus Dye Sub printer that produced awful prints unless the file was exactly 314 ppi. Not 300, 314. 300ppi looked awful. 314 looked amazing. Many Canon inkjets prefer 300ppi files and most of the better Epson's prefer 360ppi. Lambda printer like 400ppi files.
So find out what the printer likes, and in LR enter that number into the printer dialog. I believe the LR engine interpolates the file based on this and the image size on paper you choose to produce a file of the best size.
Having said all that with most modern domestic and prosumer inkjets the difference is pretty negligable.

How do you delete a file from an iPad?

How do you delete a file from an iPad?
There are 2 versions of a document file on my iPad.
I want to get rid of the obsolete one.
The iPad Users Guide does not describe how to delete a document file.
This is very frustrating!

The iPad Guide is for the iPad itself, not other apps you may install.
If you use Pages then read the online help here: http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/2.2/ - specifically this: http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/2.2/#/tancfc4d5c02

How do you select multiple files to drag

How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer. Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue. Drag it to the new folder.
If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A') individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

Not sure if Mavericks is worth the effort of downloading and I prefer mountain lion. How do you make a file in Finder.

I am not sure if Mavericks is much better than Mountain Lion as an OS. The maps part was okay but I could not view the map as shown on the apple website, there was no 3D. How do you create a file in Finder on the MacBook Pro.?

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT! I cannot believe it!
I changed "Move To Trash" to "Move to Trash" and selected a file. I had lost all hope, so I took a minute to prepare myself for yet another moment of deep frustration. Then I pressed F10, and bang! the file was trashed!!! It took me a couple minutes to actually believe what just happened. Thank you so much! If I could, I would "like" you as many times as I can physically hit the "Liked" button!
PS: what the heck is wrong with Apple though??? Wrong instructions, incorrect help instructions on their own site. The chances of figuring this out before having a nervous breakdown were like one in a million (approximately, I did not actually do the math). Last week, the keyboard and the trackpad stopped responding on my brand new macbook pro for a couple hours. I was not the only one with this problem. Apparently, this was from a design flaw, which means it could happen again at any time. iMovie doesn't work. TextEdit keeps crashing all the time. Emptying the trash can take hours.
Since 2000, I bought a PMac G4 Quicksilver, a used PMac G3 Blue, a used iBook G4, a used Pismo PBook G3, a used Graphite iMac G4, a used iMac G3 (green, 233MHz I think) and I already had more problems with this brand new macbook pro than will all the other macs combined... For such an expensive machine, with 16GB of RAM, that's a little dissapointing, especially from Apple. Maybe I'm just not lucky.
Anyways, thanks again! Best moment of 2014!

How do you separate corrupt files from good files on a external hard drive importing them to my macbook pro

How do you determine the optimal size for Mozilla Firefox?

How do you determine the optimal size for cache in Mozilla
Firefox? I am using Firefox 7.0.1 on a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate operating system with 3GB RAM and 300 GB hard drive, but I have other computers running Windows XP. If the answer doesn't apply to all current versions of Firefox on all supported Windows operating systems, please explain the differences. Is there a formula for calculating the best cache size?

I found that the best idea is to let Firefox decide that itself.

If not we may have to reload the device OS to get back the missing option.

How do you determine what shows are in free video on demand?

How do you determine what to include in the free on-demand shows? The Mentalist was always there before but is no longer. This is especially important for shows like the Mentalist and The Good Wife which come on Sunday nights after sports events. Even if I set my DVR to record 60 minutes over it doesn't always catch the entire episode. Would also like to see Person of Interest there. And last but not least, you should have a way for people to access netflix or other services from your service.

If you go to BROWSE then the FREE folder you will find that everything in there is free viewing. If you go elsewhere and try to watch a paid show, you will get a prompt asking you to purchase. It also shows the amount of the movie before purchase.
