I can't delete the master file, which is located on my external HD, through aperture

I import a folder to aperture which is stored on my external HD, and keep the originals on the HD.  If I try to delete a master file with the option, file-delete master image and all versions, the photo deletes from Aperture, but not my hard drive.  I have even tried to delete my trash, but no luck.  Please help, otherwise I do not want to use aperture for file management, which was one of my major reasons for buying it.

After you've deleted a file it from the project it goes into Aperture Trash. When you empty Aperture Trash (Aperture>Empty Aperture Trash) you will get a dialogue box asking "Are you sure you want to permanently delete all items in the Trash?" Under this there is a checkbox giving you the option to "Move referenced files to System Trash". If you check this box it will move the master to the system trash, and from there you can permanently delete the file.
All this is to stop you from accidentally deleting work.

  • Can I configure to always delete the master file?

    Hi!
    If I want to delete a file, I don't just remove it from the cataloge, but to delete the master file, too.
    If I use the remove key, I get the (annoying) pop up, what I want to do: (sorry, I've a german version, so I just try to translate it)
    Delete from hard disk
    Remove (default selected)
    Cancel
    Is there any chance to avoid this dialog? Or at least to chance the preselected button, so I've just to use the enter key?
    Actually I've to
    press delete
    press left arrow key
    press enter
    That is a little bit annoying and error-prone
    Thanks a lot!
    P.S.: I just found out, that ALT+DELETE is a shurtcut to remove the file from the catalog. So it would be greate to have a similar shurtcut to delete the file from the filesystem.

    Thanks!
    But it is almost the same as CTRL+ALT+DELETE, which has a special meaning in Windows :-(
    So there is no way, to get a delete action, that easiliy deletes, without pressing four keys in parallel? :-|
    Perhaps, the developers of Lightroom could provide an option, so you get the pop up, but the default action is different. That would be really great.

  • Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup.  However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails.  And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external.  Sort of a catch 22.  Any ideas?

    Is it a USB hard drive?  USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice.  Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem.  If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time.  I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

  • Evernote: Can I delete the imported file???

    If you are a premium suscriber to Evernote, can you delete the original file (i.e., PDF, Excel, ...) that was imported into Evernote or do you need to keep it for future editing, sharing or such?
    It seems Evernote copies the imported file and puts it into the Evernote folder located in the hidden Library directory (user/home/library/application support/evernote).

    I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
    These file extenssions are listed as
    olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
    Oh the ...olk14_message's.  Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder.  Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook.  They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
    You can delete them however using Outlook itself.  In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left.  It will show you the messages in that mailbox.  You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox.  The click the Edit menu and select Delete.  You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections.  Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
    The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes.  When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
    Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar.   Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages.  So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox.  And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
    So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
    Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
    Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too.  It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
    So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox.  But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there.  And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.

  • HT1449 Now that i have my iTunes backed up on iCloud and iCloud Match running, can I delete the music files from my MacBook Pro?  It is running out of hard drive space.

    When I started this request in the Support section, I did not realize I was typing a subject into a header.  Sorry.
    My MacBook Pro is nearly full and I would like to rely on iCloud for my music with the hope of freeing up space by deleting the music files I have accumulated on this machine.  Can I just delete the files in the iTunes folder or is there some special procedure?
    Thanks in advance for your help on this.

  • After I zip a file, should I or can I delete the original files since I'm trying to save space, or do I have to keep the original one?

    I'm trying to free some space up on my computer and was going to start compressing as many files as I can.  I noticed that when I compress one, I see the new zipped file and then still the original files.  So, should I delete the original files after I get the zip file?
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can delete the original files.
    But if you're running short of space, consider getting a larger HD for your Mac.

  • I want to delete temporary internet files. Notice I did not say clear the cache. That does not work! How can I delete the temp files? Why did you take that feature away? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

    I search for how to delete temp int files and keep coming up with the "clear cache" crap. That is not what I searched for. Clear cache does NOT delete the temp files. Why would you take that feature away??

    The Windows temporary internet files folder isn't used directly by Firefox. Firefox uses its own cache folder and you can see its current usage on the about:cache page via the location bar.
    If anything does show up in the temporary internet files folder then it is likely caused by using MS plugins like the Windows Media Player or Silverlight. You need to clear that folder via IE or the control panel (internet settings).

  • To Read the contents of the properties file which is located in webserver

    Hi,
    I have one requirement where I have to read the contents of a property file which is located in some path in server. Say for example, when you click on link abcd then contents of abcd.properties file should be displayed in one text view in webdynpro . I am trying to implement this in webdynpro for java. The main thing is like I am not able to retrieve the server path of the file and hence not getting the file contents. I tried using methods like  getApplicationPath() or getRealPath() but its not working. So can you guys please help me on to how to read the server file contents.
    Thanks and regards,
    Sai

    Hi Romano,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. However, I forgot to mention one thing in my question. Its like the path will be different everytime. Say, we have systems like development, acceptance, production. So when the user clicks on the link abcd, it should take the path of development system and similarly when the user clicks on the link in acceptance or production, the path will be different. say for example, in development the path will be
    usr/cluster/dev/abcd.properties but it acceptance it will be usr/cluster/acc/abcd.properties. So just want to know whether this will work? Anyway, I will give this a try.
    Thanks once again,
    Sai

  • How can I delete iTunes U files which wont delete

    I downloaded iTunes U app and downloaded some content, but before the downloads were complete, it crashed and does not work - possibly due to slow internet speeds rather than early iOS 5 issues. The files I downloaded are still in the iTunes U section of the Music app as well as the Videos app. When I tap them, it says 'unable to play movie' ... because its not a complete file probably. I tried swipping to delete them, which didnt work. When I plug my phone into iTunes the files dont show up. I reset the phone, still didnt work. Any ideas as to how I can delete these files?

    1. Go to App folder, doubleclick iTunes / Get info
    2. Unlock Sharing & Permissions section and change Everyone state to Read & Write
    3. Archive iTunes to zip and delete the just the iTunes.app itself (without touching additional files (if you use Appcleaner for example))
    Use this algorhytm with any native locked app.
    Enjoy!

  • Please help!-I deleted the master file

    Ok. for the first time I accidentally deleted a sitting from the original file folder. It's not anywhere, not trash, I searched the entire computer, etc.
    Is there a way to restore it thru lightroom? I still have the lightroom files but of course they say the filename "IMG_0558" is offline or missing.
    Please help. I can't call this client with this huge mistake.

    Yes, that is what I normally do. However, this week I lost contact with one entire side of my family due to mental illness (not mine), and then my grandmother passed away as well. Her funeral was just yesterday. This doesn't excuse my failure to back up again but I was no mind to be handeling files and I should not have been. I should have gone to bed instead. I am a responsible photographer, this has never happened in 13 years. I've just had the worst week of that 13 years almost.
    It's my own fault, and a mistake that I made. I just need help in trying to fix it if possible.
    I'm trying the restoration programs now.

  • How can I get the lib files which supported jsf?

    In one book , That introduce me to get the lib files from a jsf folder ,after you install the jwsdk1.3 ,now ,I installed the 1.5,but I cann't find this jsf folder.where I can get these lib files ? Thanks very much.

    Try data rescue or some other program. However, before proceeding turn off TM and avoid that muck up the next time you connect. AFAIK, however, it shouldn't have happened without a dialog box popping up allowing you to not use it for TM.
