Need to remove thousands of Empty Paragraphs

I have imported hundreds of pages of Word docs into FrameMaker 7, but the problem is the Word user used carriage returns all over the place. Thus, I have thousands of blank lines with empty paragraphs. Is there a way to remove these empty paragraphs all at once rather than line by line as I've been doing?

Sure.
Search for \p\p and replace with nothing to catch two returns and delete them.
You may want to vary the number of /p in the find field -- if you have a lot, increase the number to 5, 6, or so. Then run the S&R over again.
And do it at the book level.
When you get near the end of the cycle of deletions, don't go to far with Replace All, because you can merge paragraphs if you're not caregul. So go to a manual mode to finish up.

Thousands of empty playlists

I recently moved from a PC to a Mac and I had thousands of empty playlists in my iTunes library, which I know is a problem from iTunes Match. I thought I could fix the problem on a Mac using the Automator or a script, but now every time I try to do that, iTunes freezes, becomes non-responsive, and nothing happens. As it was, iTunes was taking about 10 minutes to open and become responsive, and then it would only work for a little while before becoming non-responsive again. Now, after running the Automator "Remove Empty Playlists" and a script, the playlists didn't go anywhere, and I can't get iTunes to open at all.
All day, I've been trying to fix this by turning off iTunes Match on all my iOS devices and getting the script to run, but nothing is working and somehow iTunes is running even worse. I don't know what else to try, but iTunes is completely unusable. Frankly, I don't even know if getting rid of all the playlists would fix the problem. I know I could check by just turning off iTunes Match on my Mac, but it would need to open first for me to do that.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hello MrStuntman,
You may need to recreate your iTunes Library. The following article details this process.
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Note: After re-creating your library, any devices that you sync with iTunes (Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad) will see your iTunes library as a new library and will completely resync. The next sync with such a device will take longer and may reset some options since your rebuilt library isn't familiar to the device.
Cheers,
Allen

Indesign: remove all inline empty frames script?

Hi,
I need to delete all inline empty frames within a document. Those inline empty frames appear after a data merge is done.
Please help!

Are there any other inline frames?
The code for an inline frame is
Find
^a
or
GREP
~a
If you search for these and replace with nothing, then all inline frames will be removed
But if you have other inline frames I think you may need a script for that.

Need help removing adware from Safari Version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4) Maverick System OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

This adware renders system useless during while using web. Cannot perform even the simplest work that requires interaction on a website. (Except Apple). I have excellent Web Service. Other iMac and 4 IOS devices are not affected, and work well.

Hello Apple community
PLEASE I need your help!
I'm having an horrible experience with my Safari 7.1.2 ( iMac OS X 10.9.5)
Bare with me, here are my symptoms, and what I did so far looking for solutions online. None of them helped
This all started SUDDENLY, today. Although i DOWNLOADED a couple of apps last week thinking i was upgrading my video app that wasn't working (I was prompted to do so but the video never ended up working!)
My symptoms:
- Ads are "glueing" themselves on my webpages... in different formats depending on the website i'm on (regular websites...)
- pages are opening ups by themselves (see picture) :
*directing to "d2bzz.resolve.sweepstakesghost.biz/?sov....." with a window saying "PC TECH SUPPORT Chat initiated. Specialist: Matt Folson Date: January 7, 2015";
To this i turned my Wifi off and then closed the page to avoid clicking on the OK button (yet now it's not asking anymore and just redirecting me without asking)
*directing to other supposedly technical support...
- SELECTED WORDS become all caps, underlined, and in light blue with a link to an ad? (see picture above)
- ALL of this are displaying a certain "Ad by PJS-4.2"
My Solutions:
1)
I searched online and DOWNLOADED
-Clamsav: found items to remove and removed them and emptied my trash ---> Dindt work (see picture)
- ADWARE Medic: found a couple of other items to delete and deleted them , emptied trash and restated computer ----> didn't work!
Still same Symptoms!
2)
I checked my extensions for Safari and only found 3 that I do use (and been using for quite a while). Just uninstalled them
Still same symptoms!
3)
I also looked for your files “Linc Davis” is referring to here in the forum but can't find any of them in my COMPUTER.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator LOGIN password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then DELETE the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
4)
I did an other search recommended by “Linc Davis”, about looking for /Library/LaunchDaemons in the Finder and I FOUND this:
com.smithmicro.schedulerdaemon.plist
com.MICROSOFT.office.licensing.helper.plist
com.surteesstudios.hddfancontroldaemon.plist
com.adobe.fpsaud.plist
com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist
com.apple.aelwriter.plist
com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist
com.apple.qmaster.qmasterd.plist
com.adobe.versioncueCS3.plist
com.bombich.ccc.plist
PLEASE PLEASE HELP what can I do to GET RID OF those?!!

CONVERSION EXIT to remove thousand separator from quantity field

HI
NEED HELP
do u know any FM or CONVERSION EXIT which remove thousand separator from quantity field.
Eg. 1,234,567.11 SHOULD be displayed as 1234567.11

Hi Chetanpatil.
Try this:
If your quantity has thousand separator as comma:
translate lv_quantity using ', '.
condense lv_quantity.
If your quantity has thousand separation as dot:
translate lv_quantity using '. '.
translate lv_quantity using ',.'.
condense lv_quantity.
You'll need to check for the user thousand separator configuration in table USR01 field DCPFM or by calling BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL and act accordingly.
Regards,
Andres.

I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id?

I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Is it just the app store unlink? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id? Will they get removed when I unlink my apple id?
Are there any other procedures I need to take into account?
Thanks

You need to remove all software that you acquired from the Mac App Store, including newer versions of OS X. These are all registered to you and encoded with your Apple ID in the licensed copy. You cannot legally pass any of the software to the new owner, which is why Apple states to erase the Mac and return it to the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac. You must also remove any older Apple software that you installed by DVD or pass the DVD to the new owner with the Mac.

Need to REMOVE Apple ID account from previously owned iMac

I recently purchased a previously owned iMac and need to REMOVE its previous Apple ID account to remove apps that they obviously purchased. Can this be done? I am being prompted to update these apps and when I try, I am asked to enter this OLD account. I actually want to REMOVE these apps for I have zero interest in them. The system was supposedly wiped of all previous info from previous owner but I guess they over-looked the apps.
Can someone advise and give me a step by step break down on how to do this? Remember, I have my own Apple ID but the apps were downloaded from a previous Apple ID account that is NOT mine but was on this system.
Thanks

And thanks to you, HW.
I see you got one quick answer. But you need more.
Leave it until your post sinks near the bottom of the list then revive it by writing to your own post ... say, 'can anyone add to these answers?' It's Sunday morning!

How do you remove a device off of an Apple ID? I have an I pod and an I phone hooked up to the same account need to remove the I pod and start up his own apple account.

I have an iPod and iPhone connected to my apple account. I need to remove the iPod as it receives all my text messages. I want to sign him up with his own account and not use mine.

Yes, that erases everything from the iPod.
He can redownload his purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hi Support, how can I install photoshop again after disk failure. Still says I have 2 copies installed, need to remove one from my old pc. Thanks for any help.

After drive failure, I decided to install photoshopcc on my home pc.

On one of your older PCs, Start Photoshop, go to the Help menu > Deactivate...

Removed authorization on old computer, but iTunes still tells me I have 5 authorizations in iTunes on other computers, and I need to remove one before I can auth. my new mac! arrrgh!!

I'm trying to authorize my new mac in iTunes, but it keeps telling me i need to remove one authorization from another computer.
I removed the authorization from my old laptop - but it STILL tells me i need to remove one authorization before my new mac can be authorized!! I even removed iTunes on the old computer, but it still doesn't work! What do I do?? I want the music from my iMac to be on my MacBook as well!

Once a year, you can also perform a step called "deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID". It will clear all 5 authorizations so you can reauthorize the one you want.
Follow the procedure here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

I need to remove one purchased app from my iCloud and ipad. Needs solution
immediately.

You cannot delete past purchases from your iTunes account. You should delete it from your iPad and then use Restrictions to stop kids from downloading without the pass code. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
You can also hide things from your iTunes account by following these steps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

I have two iPhones on my apple account and need to remove one how do I do this? Thanks

I have two iPhones on my apple account and need to remove one how do I do this? Thanks

If you are using two iPhones on the same Apple Account by using the same Apple ID you can remove one by following the following:
Choose Settings > Store and tap Sign out
The apps and such should remain. If you want to clear all of that you can do the following:
The Erase all Content and Settings feature under Settings/General/Reset will remove your content and settings.

I just got a Mac book pro 13 ... I need to remove my husbands cell number from this device but dont know how

Are you sharing the same iCloud account as your daughter? If so, that would explain why your contacts are merged. To fix this, you would need to migrate her device(s) to her own iCloud account. After doing so, you could then delete her contacts from your Mac without effecting the contacts on her device(s).
As far as messages, do you have your own iPhone?

I need to remove an apple I phone 4 that I previously used from my device list, I have gave this phone to a family member and she has cleared my contacts on my new I phone twice

Why don't you wipe the iPhone first before giving it away?
