I want to remove some images from hard drive, how to tell they are linked to InDesign files?

Is there any way I can find out if the image is linked to an any InDesign file? I have a thousand .indd files on my hard drive, if I open one by one and see the links panel it would take me ages...

That's said, if you package all files from InDesign you don't get links to linked ai files. Although they are complete for the use in InDesign you might loose the editability of linked AI files if their links are lost. So it would be a good idea to package linked ai files too but this functionality is only available in the Cloud Versions from CS6 and CC, not in the permanent license.
Wait...what?
Maybe I misunderstand the post, or I've missed something along the way, but I've been using InDesign since it was introduced, and I've never heard this before. I output packages using pre-CC versions all the time, and I've never experienced any link or editability breakage with .ai files, or any others for that matter. Can you clarify Willi? What am I missing?

  • I mostly work on Mac desktop, but use a Macbook Pro on trips. Due to limited HD space on the latter, I want to create a library of part of the images on the Mac, to be used on the Macbook. I do not however want to remove these images from the Mac library.

    Choose one or more Projects, and then use Export as New Library (from File).  The resulting export will be a fully functioning Aperture Library to either transfer and open on the Macbook Pro, or to Import into a library you already have on the MBP.

  • How do i remove a place from hard drive places menu

    how do i remove a place from hard drive places menu?

    Yes, I saw that Carolyn. I should have included that in my previous post. I asked the person who did the change for me and had no new information to provide. He said he only did the normal change of information to receive and send POP mail. He did nothing else that should have affected the mailboxes. In fact, he made the same changes to his own Macbook Pro and had no loss of emails from his mailboxes.
    So, what it boils down to is a simple question that may not require a simple answer, but my guess is there is a simple procedure to restore a mailbox's data from the Users folder on the hard drive. If the info is gone from Mail, but still on the hard drive, then it would stand to reason that we could stop focusing on what caused it to happen (especially if we don't know), and just make an attempt to Restore it - if I could find someone who knows the procedure to restore a mailbox.
    It may require a trip to the Genius Bar if it so complex that no one here has experience with it. I would think that from time to time people have to restore the mail box.
    Thanks so very much Carolyn for all your interest. If you know anyone who could restore mailbox, please see if they would offer a suggestion as to the steps to do so.

  • IMac, just had repaired new Harddrive erase deverything,wheres my iPhoto n all those apps, i know the gone from hard drive but i thought they would transfer from my phone

    iMac, just had repaired new Harddrive erase deverything,wheres my iPhoto n all those apps, i know the gone from hard drive but i thought they would transfer from my phone? HELP ?

    Those Apps would not transfer from your iPhone because the iPhone apps are iOS 5 based and the iMac apps are OSX based.  They are not the same Apps.  You will need to transfer the OSX based apps over from your external hardware backup you have kept up, Or you can reinstall the OSX based apps from their original DVD's.
    Hope this helps

  • I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

    I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

    You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad.  That delete button will work on those.
    Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing.  When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad.   The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
    Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto.  While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side.  You can select which pad photos you want to import.  Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

  • Deleting images from hard drive

    My hard drive warned me its capacity if almost full, so I deleted bunches of photos, but it made little difference in the amount of available space. Does this mean all my deleted images are still deep in there somewhere taking up space? If so, how do I get rid of them? I take piles of photos counting on beng able to get rid of them. Thanks.

    Drag the photos from the Library to the iPhoto trash, then empty the iPhoto trash
    Hitting delete in an album removes the pic from the Album, not the library.
    Regards

  • Can't delete iphoto images from hard drive

    I transferred my iphoto library onto my external hard drive in order to save some space. When I moved the existing library of images to trash in iphoto it deleted it from iphoto but didn't free up any space on my hard drive. I have tried to find these images but have had no joy at all. any advice would be much appreciated.
    I have iphoto '09 and version 8.1.2 (424)

    You sure you don't have more than one Library?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 

  • Trouble deleting images from hard drive in Lightroom 4

    I installed a trial of Lightroom  4.4, whenever I try to delete an image from catalogue it only deletes from lightroom and not from my hard drive. I am definitely  selecting the option delete from disk. The images I delete from lightroom are going to my trash can but the original image is still in my pictures folder. Have you any idea how to correct this?           

    I've seen this in the past, it was a permissions issue of some kind. Assuming you're on a Mac, you might try running something like Disk Utility and fix permissions. Might fix it.

  • Remove I Tunes from Hard Drive

    Sorry I am not too pc literate. I am freeing up some space on my hard drive and have found the following programs:
    ipod for Windows 2005-03-23 Size 163MB
    ipod for Windows 2005-06-26 Size 163MB and
    ipod for Windows 2005-09-23 Size 163MB
    When I try and remove them it denies me.
    How can I remove.
    I assume my correct program is the iTunes one.
    Could somebody please explain to me in simple terms how I can remove the three programs if indeed I should.
    Many thanks.

  • I want to remove a book from itunes. How would I do that?

    I self published a book a while ago, but put it out as an amazon kindle and now need to remove it from here because of some exclusivity clause. How would I do that?

    It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible (which you can't currently do on devices on iOS 6) : hiding and unhiding.

  • Can't remove Core Storage from hard drive

    I wanted to erase a backup drive and start over again but somehow it's gotten converted to "Core Storage" I'm told.
    I managed to erase the drive by first listing the Core Storage devices, using the following command in the OSX Terminal:
    diskutil cs list
    Then erasing the drive:
    diskutil cs delete "Backup2"
    This made everything look OK in Disk Utility, because now the drive appears as having a volume in addition to the drive icon, and there are also 4 tabs available (First Aid, Erase, Partition, RAID, Restore), but if I erase the drive something strange happens: it says "Switching disk1s1 to Core Storage", and after that the two drive icons in Disk Utility get the same name (all my other drives show an icon with the drive brand/model while the second icon shows the volume name). And the main drive icon only has 2 options now: First Aid and Partition. The volume icon has 3 options in DIsk Utility: First Aid, Erase, Restore.
    The obvious thing to do at this stage is select "Erase", but this only results in the volume icon changing its name separately from the drive itself.
    I've also tried booting with my OSX 10.6 installation DVD and erasing the drive from there, but the result is the same when I try to erase it once again. Seems like my OSX has somehow decided that this specific drive must be a Core Storage device regardless of what I've done to the actual drive itself.
    What do I need to do in order to make the drive "normal" again? I'm using OSX 10.9.5.

    Kappy: thanks, but I have to explain that I'm not in the process of upgrading from OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard (I grabbed the OSX 10.6 installation DVD because it allows me to boot from another media than the computer's boot drive -Mavericks doesn't come on a DVD of course and I haven't taken the time to figure out how to install it on a USB thumb drive).
    I actually did a clean install (backup everything, reformat the drive, install OSX from scratch) of OSX 10.9 Mavericks recently, and the reason for reformatting the problematic drive in the first place was to do a completely new backup since I don't want to risk keeping keep bits of 10.6 mixed in there with 10.9.
    I somehow messed up the drive which made it Core Storage and now it refuses to act as a normal drive.
    My Mac consists of several drives where the abovementioned drive acts as a bootable backup.
    Keg55: Thanks for your suggestions but I'm still running into the same issue as before: after doing the terminal commands my drive seems fine, but when I open Disk Utility (DU) and format ("erase") the drive gets converted back into Core Storage. I erase it in order to test if things have really gotten back to normal or if the Core Storage thingy still sticks with my system somehow (which it does). I'd never even heard of Core Storage until now (and still don't understand what it really is as most of the documentation I've found is highly technical), but could it be that OSX 10.9 Mavericks is supposed to do this while 10.6 Snow Leopard isn't (hence what Kappy is saying in the last part of the reply above about Yosemite creating Core Storage volumes automatically? Is this what applies here, or have I misunderstood?
    OK, let me explain what happens step by step... The goal of course is to format the drive so as to act as a normal "Mac OS extended (journaled)" drive (as I said I don't even know what Core Storage is and don't know why I would be wanting this), so here goes....
    1) At the first stage I have the drive freshly deleted using the diskutil cs delete LVG_UUID command (diskutil cs delete "volume_group_name" appears to be doing the same thing), so it's just like my other drives as far as I can see in DU (showing the drive brand/model and a partition icon underneath as seen in the screenshot below).
    2) Now I want to verify if my drive has really become "normal" again or if it acts up once more by becoming a Core Storage drive again.
    I click on the drive's (not its partition) icon in DU, select the "Erase" tab and finally press the erase button.
    3) After pressing the erase button, messages pop up at the bottom part of DU very quickly. Luckily I can do screenshots faster than I can read, so here's what I've captured DU telling me. First it's converting the drive to Core Storage:
    4) next it switching the drive to Core storage:
    5) and finally it's formatting the file system for logical volume (whatever that means):
    and as you can see in the top left corner the drive now only shows a single icon (unlike every time I've formatted a drive in the past it shows the drive and a partition icon, where the drive icon is followed by the drive's brand/model name).
    So what's going on here and why can't I get my drive back to normal when erasing it?

  • My IT department transferred images from my Blackberry to my Iphone, they are in "Photo library". there is 1500  images, many are duplicates and when I hit edit, delete is not an option. how do i delete the duplicate images?

    my IT department set up my Iphone and transferred the images from my Blackberry. I have over 1500 images showing in "Photo Library" and lots of them are duplicates (same image). When I hit edit it will not allow me to delete them, delete is not an option shown. How do I get rid of the duplicates?
    In Photo library, when I hit edit the only avail options are share or add to. Please help, i dont want 1500 images on the phone.

    Are they really duplicates or are you simply referring to the Photo Library?
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and the exact same song can be accessed via a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos ( not duplicates) can be accessed from the chose folder/album.
    You delete these pica the same way you put them there.  The sync process.  Deselect them in itunes and sync.

  • Using Target disk mode from hard drive which is starting to fail, when I move files, I get a preparing to copy message but nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Hello, i have a MacBook Pro. The hard drive is failing to such an extent that I can't currently use the computer, only things like utility mode etc. I have connected it unto my iMac and using a Firewire in target disk mode, I am attempting to move files across using that mode. The HD of the Macbook Pro appears in the IMac devices menu and I copy and paste the appropriate folders/files but as I do this I get a progress bar which says "preparing to copy" but then nothing appears to happen. Any ideas on what to do? Is there a password or other issue here that I am over-looking. Perhaps the hard drive of my macbook pro is so corrupted that I can't move files over. Any help would be great?

    Try moving smaller groups of files. I' guessing that you don't have a backup huh?
