What files need to be deleted to start fresh with iCal?

Friends:
What files need to be deleted from places like the library to start with a fresh blank copy of iCal?
Thanks amigos!

Migs,
Have you tried using the iCal user interface to delete all iCal data?
You can do this by creating a new calendar, and naming the calendar. Name it "Test" for example. Then delete all of the other calendars that exist in the "Calendars" sources pane.
Quit iCal, and remove the com.apple.ical.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder. Also remove the Calendar Cache file from the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder.
Then log out/in or restart, and the only calendar remaining should be the blank "Test" calendar.

I have filled a backup drive with 1 terabyte and my computer is running very slow. what files are safe to delete to free up space?

what files are safe to put in the trash without messing up programs?

It would be wise to move your large libraries like your iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom etc, iTunes, iMoves to an external HD. That will free up HD space. After you have relocated those libraries move the copies on the internal HD to the trash and empty the trash. This is the smartest and safest method. Apple explains how to move these libraries in:
iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD

IPOD Freezes Itunes and Memory is full of "Other"

I have an 80g Ipod classic and i recently updated my itunes to version 10.6.1 (7). After my latest sync, my ipod now has no music but 1/2 the memory is full with "other". I have reset my ipod several times but the music fails to appear. I cannot restore my Ipod because when I connect it to itunes, the program freezes up. The application stops responding and I have to close Itunes all together. All of my music is saved in my itunes library and I dont want to lose any of it. Someone please help!!!
I also noticed that since the most recent itunes update I am having problems connecting to the itunes store. It keeps saying check the internet connection and try again. My internet works fine but for some reason itunes will not allow me to connect to the itunes store. PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a similar problem with my 120gb classic, my ipod shows no music or any data but states that memory is full of other, I've tried everything I can think of, rebooting does nothing, connecting to pc freezes itunes and I am unable to access in disk mode either, it shows in my computer but just hangs when trying to access it, so a reformat or restore is not an option, diagnostics shows an error when checking harddrive with HDSMARTdata. I'm sorry to say that I have a feeling that our hard drives are buggered cos surely if you cant access it you can fix it. Very dissapointed with apples service as mine was an under warranty replacent which was resseting itself randomly exessively often, sometimes up to 6 times a day from when I received it, I sent it back within two days stating it had a fault only to have it sent back the next day being told its fine! It is obvious that apple have sent me a replacement ipod with a recycled hard drive which was obviously faulty from day one and now its given up the ghost, I very much regret not holding my ground and demanding a fully working replacement at the time as now I have to fork out for yet another ipod!

What files need to be cleaned periodically in Oracle Apps R12 ?

Hi
In Oracle Database, periodically we clean alertlog,trace files from bdump,udump,cdump directories and at AIX OS level, /usr/tmp, /var/tmp, /root,we clean .tmp,.log files. Similarly,what files needs to cleaned from Oracle Apps R12 directories periodically to control the harddisk usage?
Any help is highly appreciated !
Thanks

Ateeq,
Please be careful when following the steps in the note referenced above especially when cleaning the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory, otherwise your instance will not function properly. I believe purging the log files at the application/database tiers is fair enough to reclaim space and should be done on periodic basis.

What files need to be on the SD card??

I had to erase (moved them to my hard disk) the original files on the SD card to update the OS and get my 500 working, which I finally got to work. I then installed maps from the cd to the SD card and copied back the files that were originally on the SD card. Now the unit complains that it can't find an SD with the maps. Can anybody tell me what files need to be in what folders on the SD card?? TIA!!!

I'm having the exact same problem. Also, because there is an apparent problem with the updater now locking up and crashing, it's even more of a problem. Anyone have a fix on either the 500 not finding the navigator program on the SD because of erasure or the uploader crash issue?
Thanks

What files are safe to delete to create more room on my hard drive?

I'm using my G-4 QuickSilver as my ProTools M-Box LE computer exclusively. What files can I safely delete to create more room on my hard drive for processing and speed?

Let me distill Limnos excellent but lengthy set of suggestions.

Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
(1)
Run
OmniDiskSweeper
"The simple, fast way to save disk space"
OmniDiskSweeper is now free!
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/download/
This will give you a list of files and folders sorted by size. Go after things you know that are big.
(2) Buy an external firewire harddrive.
(3) This will save you a gig of space.
Monolingual is a program for removing unnecessary language resources from Mac OS X,in order to reclaim several hundred megabytes of disk space. It requires at least Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) and also works on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). It worked for me on 10.4

You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer.
I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
The latest the hard drive enclosures support the newer serial ata drives. The drive and closure that I list supports only older parallel ata.

I want to free up more memory in my ipad

I want to free up more memory in my ipad

Can you tell me an app that runs in ios 5.1 that helps me defragment ipad or removes junk files , memory of games etc. Thank you before.
There is no such app. An ipad app cannot look into the storage space of another app.
You can install itunes on your pc and backup the entire contents of your ipad.
You can use iexplore on your pc to copy off individual files. I've used the free copy of this app.

I am trying to install Snow Leapord and I get a response that I do not have enough memoroy. I recently bought a 2TB WD backup drive. I backed up the iMac. Now how do I free up more memory?

I am trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and I get a message that I do not have enough memory. I recently bought a 2TB WD back-up drive and backed up the entire computer. Now how do I free up more memory to allow me to install the new software?

First thing to try is emptying the trash to get more space.
Go to the Finder -> File Menu -> Empty Trash.
This will free up some space.
Next look at your Download folder. Click on "Size" to sort by largest to smallest. This is where you have downloaded files over time and you should be able to delete a good amount of them, if you don't need them any more, to clear up space. Select the files you want to get rid of and hit "Command-Delete". This will move them to the Trash. You will then need to Empty the Trash again.
You can also look through your documents for large files. Do the same think, click on "Size" in the finder window to sort by largest to smallest.
Lastly, look at your applications folder. Unlike a PC, you can just Delete applications. Now certain data will still remain, but the bulky items will go away by doing the same "Command-Delete" on the applications you don't want.
Don't forget, after you have deleted things, you need to Empty the Trash.

Can not down load I0s7 due not enough memory on my iphone5 how can i free up more memory?

Or, do the update while connected to iTunes, which does not require extra space on your device, and in my experience seems to be a much more reliable update method anyway.

Free up more memory

how do you free up more memory on the 8830? i deleted maps and it freed up a little, but i would like to free up more. right now i have more memory being used than is free is this normal?

You posted this in 2 different places so I will answer it in both places
When you remove your battery, it will free up more space. Also, I went in and deleted all languages that I don't use. You can do this by going to options, advanced options, applications. Finally, you can also purchase a micro SD card and save all of your media to it.

On iphone 5 memory full with "other" -- what can i do?

My phone shows that almost all memory is full in the "other" category. What can I do?

If you purchased thru your carriers website you could try calling your nearest company owned store to see if they do an exchange when you receive the 16GB. Chances are they have a larger demand for the 16GB then the 32GB. You're still going to have to wait until your receive your 16GB though. At least that's how AT&T works.
Hope that helps.

There are several nice programs that can help you figure out what's on your computer - OmniDiskSweep, WhatSize, and DaisyDisk are the three I like. If you've had your computer for a while - and especially if this isn't your first Mac and you've been migrating from one computer to another, one of these programs can help you find files you didn't know your computer still had. For example, when I was trying to shed files to fit int a 256GB SSD, I discovered I had nearly 1GB of files in my Application Support folder belonging to programs I no longer used.
Other than that, your easy choice are music, video, and photos. They tend to be the big files. A movie will generally be at least 1.25GB, for example.
