Need to keep files on iphone
I have dropbox, mobileme, and Documents to go. All work great at giving me access to my files when I have a wifi or 3G connection however I really need to be able to access my files without a network connection. Any Ideas?
JJ
"Without a network connection" implies you would have no access to any resource that might hold your files, unless I am misunderstanding. In which case you can only hold those files locally, for instance a USB memory stick?

OK, Newbie to Mac question. Do I need to keep files after download/update
Sorry for such a boring newbie question.
(My last Mac was many years ago - the original Macintosh 528k with 2x 3.5" disks. The OS has changed 'a little', and doesn't have to be loaded in every startup!! Wow !!)
I had to go PC for business reasons, but now, I have <control> over my computing needs again. (Photographic business.)
OK. I searched Mac 101 but didn't find an answer.
Apart from Application Icons and/or Folders I have created, I have acquired a bunch of other files on the desktop. Do I need to keep them?
When I download updates, for example, I end up with a .dmg icons showing the HD in the center, with a title such as i1Match3-2.6Pantone.dmg (after updating my calibrator). I know the update is installed (and the app. is in the dock). Same with downloads or updates with Lightzone,, Firefox, etc.
First Question. Can I trash those .dmg icons?
Similarly, I have icons with what looks like an external HD, which I guess is the actual download. For example, RapidWeaver 3.5.1 (no extension), but there is also a .dmg icon. These "HD" icons cannot be dragged into a General Folder on the Desktop.
Second Question. If I can trash the .dmg icond, can I trash the "external HD" look icons once the program is installed. If I can't, where should they be kept ... I don't want them all over the Desktop ??
Third Question. I have some Folders which just materialized over a few days of use.
"Apples Caches" Folder (with arrow=shortcut?) with 10 file icons and 1 folder icon. Another ... "com.apple.kernelcaches" Folder with one 'kernelcache" file icon.
And three empty Folders "Edits", Measurement Data", and "Scan Tiffs". Have no idea why they popped up.
What to do?
Thank you for reading my questions. I look forward to your proposed solutions.

Thanks for the quick reply ! The .dmg's and the "HD" icons are now GONE. I am curious why they are needed after installions, but I will read up on that to satisfy my curiousity.
Now, the remaining question ...
The two 'Apple caches' folders appeared on my desktop, just below the Macintosh HD icon, probably about a week or so after I got my Mac. I can't recall doing anything 'bad' or having any 'crash' or freeze-up. I seem to recall having to do a 'force quit' at one stage when I was setting up the scanner and Silverfast6Ai because I initially tried to instal non-Intel software. But on that occasion, everything fired right back up OK and the Mac has been absolutely brilliant ever since. What a wonderful change after XP and IE7 and all the daily drama.
The Folder which has the small black arrow (I guess shortcut) has files for:
com.apple.IntlDataCache.le
com.apple.IntlDataCache.kbdx
com.apple.IntlDataCache.le.tecx
com.apple.IntlDataCache.tecx
com.apple.IntlDataCache.sbdl
com.apple.IntlDataCache.le.sbdl
com.apple.IntlDataCache.le.kbdx
com.apple.IntlDataCache
com.apple.Components2.SystemCache.QuickTimeComponents
com.apple.Components2.SystemCache.Components
plus it also contains a Folder:
com.apple.kernelcaches ... which has
kernelcache.ED112BB5 as the file.
Does this help you? I don't know if they have to be "put back" somewhere, or they are temporary files which can be trashed.
(As for the other empty folders "Edits" etc, my guess is they somehow arrived during a scan which I cancelled halfway through, or maybe from the Rapidweaver application when I was 'testdriving' the program. I am inclined to trash them anyway. Can't see how that would hurt.)
I reported that the question had been answered, anyway, but I would like MORE of the same !!
Cheers
CJ

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts… 18 plus movies need to go…. Thank you.
Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

Backing up files on external hard drive... do I need to keep render files?
Hi, I back up all of my video work and files onto DVDs and to a Lacie external hard drive. I am filling that up quickly and would like to know if I need to keep copies of the render files, which are quite large. Will it save me that much time later? Or are they simply taking up much needed space?
thanks in advance
Rob Grossman
Monrovia, LiberiaWelcome to the forum!
Render files can always be regenerated if needed. I dump them before backups.
If you keep your original footage on tape, the only stuff you need to back up is the FCP project file, any still images, AE files, etc. This takes VERY little space in the scheme of things.
The final quicktime video file (if that is what was created) can also be sent back to tape.
Good luck.

For the new iPhone 5s - is there not an option anymore to edit imessages without deleting the whole stream? There are some things I need to keep within a stream and some not necessary, and it looks as like no editing within a conversation?
Now I also know about pulling the message to the left to see the time stamp. Good to know, although I preferred it being right where I could see it without having to do a swipe or keystroke.

When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up. This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse. How can I do this only with keyboard?
Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

Keep getting a popup window stating" startup disc almost full, need to delete files"
keep getting a popup window stating" startup disc almost full, need to delete files", what can i do to help with this, i generally have only photos in iphoto, some imovies, and a small amount of documents
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -

If my photos from my iphone are on icloud, do i need to keep them on my phone?
I can't download OS7 because I don't have enough storage on my phone. If my photos from my iphone on on icloud - do I need to keep them on my phone?
You can delete any tracks you do not wish to have on the iPad and redownload them at any time. There is a setting you should be aware of, as well as a quirk (lets say design flaw):
Settings app > Music > Show all Music. This either exposes (if tuen on) or hides (if turned off) the un-downloaded tracks in Match. I have around 17,000 tracks in Match and find it useful to turn this off to facility easily locating albums already on teh device.
If you choose to stream a track rather than downloading first, it will actually download teh track. Once this occurs, you cannot delete it by swiping. teh only way to remove it is to delete all tracks from the device via Settings app > General > Usage > Music. A bit of a pain and my only real complaint with iTunes Match. -
Need help from the expert on how to sync sms on iphone to pc and how to make sure that sms on iphone is not being deleted - need to keep sms for office record purpose
You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside? I'd recommend against it. Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money. You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider? Did I understand that correctly? -

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

I have a iMac and need to keep a copy of my CR2 files
When I import from my camera LR converts to a DNG file. I am sure it used to also save a CR2 file as well. Now it appears to be only saving as a DNG. The reason I need the CR2 files is my images suddenly have a lot of noise in them. Canon wants CR2 files but also thinks I have a setting messed up in LR. Can anyone help me? I desperately want to speak to a person!! GAH!!! TIA!
When you import, at the top of the import dialog is a choice Copy as DNG, Copy, Move, Add. You must have selected Copy as DNG in the past. You need to use Copy if you want to keep your CR2 files.
BTW, whether CR2 or DNG, the noise is still there and still mitigated by the same tools. You will not gain anything in Lightroom by working on the CR2 instead of a DNG version of it. -
With itunes match live on my iOS devices, can I now remove all local music files from my PC to free up space? There's no need to keep it if it will always be in the cloud. Right?

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both. The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.
No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.
