Is it safe to delete /media if its not being used?

All my drives/devices are set to mount in /mnt. Nothing uses /media. Is it safe to delete the directory or could this potentially break some software/things?
p.s I'm not really a newbie but I couldn't think of anywhere else to post this

HAL uses the /media directory, so if you use HAL to mount devices automatically, then you need it.

Purchasing a genuine, but used CS3 but the serial number isn't with it. Is there a way to check its not being used and what the serial number is?

I have the opportunity to buy CS3, but there is no serial number with it. Is there a way to find the serial number or get one for the software?

LOL well thank you for that detailed answer to my question.
Guess I'll give it a miss then

Well if you have 3 gigs of music that is taking up half right there. Pictures and videos also take up a lot of space as well. Another thing is texts are saved on the phone. Try deleting them but texts don't nomally take up a lot of space.

If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.

Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it out of recovery mode.

Toshiba PX1265E External HDD its not being recognized

Hi All,
I have just recently had to replace my laptop with a new Windows 7 device as the old Vista one blew up.
Just tried to log on to my external *Toshiba PX1265E HDD* and to my shock its not being recognized.
Issue is that i have a lot of pictures on it of my Son when he was a baby.
Is there any drivers or software out there that can get the files etc.... from the device using Windows 7.

Hi
This external HDD is an plug&play device this means that no drivers are required
So it looks more like HDD hardware problem :(

Cannot delete an old vault that is not being used.

Cannot delete an old vault that is not being used. I get the following notification: The operation can’t be completed because the item “#3 Vault-GTech RAID mini-1TB” is locked. I placed this vault on a external HD until I set up a new vault with the same name in Aperture.
Now I want to delete the older Vault. Any suggestions? Thank you, Bob Stern

OK think I have it, but you'll need to use the terminal window and sudo to do this If you never used either then read this carefully before you begin.
start
Open a terminal, go to /Applications/Utilities and click on the Terminal app.
Type the following but do not press return: sudo chflags nouchg
Make sure to enter a space at the end of the above command
Go to Finder, locate the vault and drag it to the Terminal window at the end of the above command. The mouse pointer will turn into a green plus sign showing you your are dragging the file.
When you let go the full path of the vault will be at the end of the command, now press return.
If this is the first time you are running sudo you'll get some text telling you to be very careful. You'll also be prompted for your password, enter it.
Back in Finder in the Info window for the vault the Locked checkbox should be clear.
that's it
good luck, post back if you have any troubles.
regards

Can't Delete Private Cloud - tbl_WLC_PhysicalObject not being updated

I am having issues with our SCVMM instance where I can't delete Private Clouds...even if there empty.
When I right click the Private Cloud and click Delete, the "Jobs" panel says it finished successfully, however, the Private Cloud is not deleted.
After doing some researching, I believe its because entries in the tbl_WLC_PhysicalObject database table are not being updated correctly, when a VM is moved from one Private Cloud to another. After determining the "CloudID" of the Private
Cloud I am trying to delete, I still see resources assigned to this Private Cloud in the tbl_WLC_PhysicalObject table, even though from VMM Console, the Private Cloud shows up empty.
For some testing purposes, I assigned a VM back to the Private Cloud I am trying to delete, only to move it out again and gather some tracing/logging. When I moved the VM back out of the Private Cloud, I had a SQL Profiler running in the background, capturing
the SQL statements on the DB server. Looking at the "exec dbo.prc_WLC_UpdatePhysicalOBject" statement, I see the @CloudID variable is assigned the "CloudID" of the Private Cloud the VM is currently assigned to/the Private Cloud I am trying
to delete and is NOT the CloudID of the Private Cloud the VM is being moved to/assigned to.
Instead of having the VMM Console GUI do the Private Cloud assignment/change...I copied the PowerShell commands out...so I can run them manually. Looks like the script gets 4 variables ($VM, $OperatingSystem, $CPUType, and $Cloud), and then runs the "Set-SCVirtualMachine"
CMDLET. For the $Cloud variable, it does return the proper "CloudID" of the Private Cloud I am trying to move the VM too (I ran it separately and then ran an ECHO $Cloud to look at its value). When I run the "Set-SCVirtualMachine" CMDLET,
the output has values for "CloudID" and "Cloud" and these are still the values of the source Private Cloud/Private Cloud I am moving the VM out of and ultimately want to delete.
Has anyone ran into this? Is something not processing right in the "Set-SCVirtualMachine" CMDLET?

I been slowing looking into this and this is where I am at:
I built a development SCVMM 2012 R2 instance that mocks our production environment (minus all the VM's...just the networking configuration and all the private clouds have been mocked). From there, I started at SCVMM 2012 R2 GA and one by one installed
the 4 rollup patches in ordered and at each new patch level, I monitored the queries coming in through SQL Profiler, as I moved a VM between private clouds and created new VM's within clouds. As I created new VM's and moved the VM's between clouds. the
stored procedure "prc_WLC_UpdatePhysicalOBject" all have a value of NULL for the CloudID column....so a CloudID isnt even associated to the physical objects (basically the VHDX files and any mounted ISO's I have on the VM's).
I did find out this SCVMM instance was upgraded from SCVMM 2008 (I took over after the 2012 R2 upgrade was completed).
I am thinking at this point...nothing is wrong with SCVMM 2012 R2 if you build and recreate it from scratch and a new DB. I am thinking this might be a depreciated field from SCVMM 2008. The only other thing we did, was put in a SAN and moved VM's from stand-alone
hosts to the new CSV's (A mixture of 2008 R2 and 2012 NON R2 hosts).
At this point...since we dont have Self-Service enabled yet....it will be a days work to rebuild a new instance of SCVMM 2012 R2 and migrate the hosts/VM's to it and start from a clean slate.
I know the DB structure isnt really published...but does anybody have any other insights into this?

Photos I delete in library are not being deleted from hard drive

Help please. I have been trying to delete photos from the iPhoto library (Events and Photos) and emptying the iPhoto trash can. This is supposed to erase them from the hard drive. However, when I look in the hard drive in the Pictures folder, the photos I deleted are still there. Could someone tell me what might be wrong? Thanks!

I'm running a managed library.
Let me see if I can understand this. The problem has to do with the place I was looking at. I was looking in the pictures folder in the hard drive. Now, the pictures inside the iPhoto library are the ones that are deleted from the hard drive, and the ones in the Pictures folder are not being touched at all. So I have two separate folders with pictures: the iPhoto library folder and the Pictures folder inside the hard drive.
Since I'm going to be using iPhoto exclusively I might as well delete that other Pictures folder in the hard drive. If I delete the pictures in this folder, would that affect the pictures I have in the iPhoto Library? I'm thinking no since iPhoto has made copies of all those pictures. What do you think?
THanks for the info TD

WLC Deleting Interface: Interface group is being used by AP Group

When trying to delete an interface from an interface group, I am getting the error Interface group is being used by AP Group. Is there a way I can delete the interface?

Or you can select another interface freeing the one up you want to delete and then delete it .. key here is that the WLC wont delete a interface that is tied to a WLAN ..

Deleting Interface: Interface group is being used by AP Group

When trying to delete an interface from the Interface Groups, I am getting an error "Interface group is being used by AP Group." Is there a way I can go in to delete the interface?

Hi toupheng.her, thank you for using our forum, my name is Johnnatan I am part of the Small business Support community. In this case you need to disable all protocols or vlans where you are using the group that you want to delete, probably a vlan is using your group and that´s why you can´t delete it, then you will be able to delete it. You can also search ACL, VPN, NAT, etc... I hope you find this answer useful,

My ipod is not getting charged, and its not being recognized by windows

The day before, i left my ipod in the bathroom for the whole day without doing anything to it. Yes, the battery was already drained i just didn't charge it.
Today, I connected my ipod to my computer to charge but nothign is happening. Usually it'll say say something like "please wait very low battery", but as of now its completely blank. I did the basic troubleshooting procedures, reseting, restarting pc, updating... etc. I also tried to connect to a different computer but it still doesnt' work. I always leave the cable connected to the pc sitting on my desk and i'm positive nothign happenend to it, unless it broke while sitting on a table. I've had this ipod for bout 8 months now and this has never happened.
Is there anything else i can do to fix this before sending it to apple?
Thanks

1. Battery life IS directly related to quantity of charge cycles.
2. I never heard the "400" figure. Where did you get it from?
3. Even if "400" is correct, the battery could have been defective from the start and perhaps this one can take only 100 charge cycles. For what it's worth, it does seem like it died too soon. From what I've seen here on the forums, batteries typically ast 18 to 24 months, obviously dependent on usage.
4. I could be totally wrong about the battery being shot! I just can't imagine what else it could be.
All the above notwithstanding...
I don't think that the magnet storage is a good idea but I don't think that it would cause this problem. Unfortunately, the bottom line is that you can't do any testing or try any of the basic repair sequences if you can't charge the iPod. If you're close to an Apple Store (owned and operated by Apple), take it to the "Genius Guy" or whatever he's really called. You will need an appointment. Don't tell Apple about the magnets!
