Question about clearing LR history and backing up

I know we can clearn LR history on a particular image by clicking "clear all" in the history panel. Is there a way to do this for all images w/o having to go through all of them? I don't want LR to keep track of every little thing I did on every little image; if the development is significant, I would use virtual copy or snapshot. I think having all the history info is waste of space and may slow down LR.
When backing up LR3, the program only backs up Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat, but my LR3 folder is over 2gb. Is this 20mb Ircat file the only thing we need to worry about? What are some of the other things in the folder that is taking up so much space?

Each history step could be a very small amount of space in the catalogue database. I'm not sure what you mean by "slow down LR." Slow down how? What activities or gestures will be impacted?
I am hearing you want to reset all settings to some large selection of your images , excepting some or all virtual copies or those with snapshots. It might be better to work with temporary catalogues, merging those into a master catalogue in a selective manner.

Perhaps the preview cache? You can also check to see if your raw cache is in there, too. I assume your managed photos are in a different directory tree (or trees.)

Question About the S partition and Backing Up Content

Forgive me if this sounds stupid (and yes i did read online about this S partition business with thinkpads) but I am not sure if i had accidentally deleted the S partition or it is hidden and I am not able to see it. When I go to my computers, the only drives I see are C and W(W is my ultrabayIII added 500gb harddrive). I do not see a S partition. The Q partition I deleted. But when i go to the computer management location, I see: "SYSTEM_DRV with no Drive Path Letter (strange...), a Windows7_OS(C and my SecondHDD(W.....and no S partition.....does that mean that my S partition is the SYSTEM_DRV or did I unknowingly deleted it.
And another question:
Since I no longer got the Q partition, what does that mean I lost?? Does this mean that I am not able to restore my thinkpad to the original factory default with the factory-installed programs and drivers?? (even the faulty NVIDIA driver that gives bsods? lol?) Though I did see something that came with windows 7 called Create Repair Disk.....does this mean that it acts like a windows 7 CD which allows me to boot from CD and fix or reinstall windows 7???
sorry for this post being lenghy XD but thanks in advance for the responses.

Question about clear page and reset pagination

Hi,
I have a question about clear pages and the reset pagination in an URL. What is the reason why a clear page doesn't also trigger a reset pagination on the pages which are cleared?
I can't really imagine a business case where it makes sense to clear all data of page items on a page and don't reset the pagination of reports on that page which probably use a page item in there where clause...
The drawback of this behavior is that a developer always has to set the reset pagination checkbox when he clears the target page and the even bigger drawback is that if you specify other pages to clear, you can't reset pagination for them, because reset pagination only works for the target page.
Thanks for your input.

I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I have changed the DNS number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 2 days and still can't find a fix, HELP!!

I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I haves changed the DNs number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 3 days now, HELP!!!!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Even though I have ordered Firefox to clear my entire browsing history and cookies when it closes, it is not doing so when I exit. I have to manually clear the history and cookies each time.

I am running Firefox 10.0.2 for Linux, and have never had this problem with previous versions. I wonder if it is an issue of Firefox not quitting completely when I close it...meaning it would not clear the history and cookies because it is not technically shut down. This is just a theory, however. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the suggestion. I made sure the prefs.js file had read and write permissions, and since then it seems to be saving my settings and deleting all the information I ordered it to on exit.
Thanks for your help! This was a minor problem, but it's nice to know that everything is working the way it's supposed to now.

Backing up to external drive, and questions about "clearing up" hd space..?

iPhoto 6. Specs are below.
I have about 7,000 photos, and I have to clear out my hd to create more space.
I have "backed-up" my hd using "super duper" and an external firewire seagate pro drive and now need to clear out space on the internal drive on my G4.
Here are my questions/concerns:
How do I go about deleting my photos off of my internal hd?
I want to continue to use iphoto, but need to delete my current photos from it, in order to free up space.
Will I be able to get access to this drive in, say 10 years from now?
Will it be safe to store in the closet?
When I go to back-up iphoto, will it add my "new" pictures to the old pictures I saved?
My concerns are longevity, and to be able to access these in the future.
Should I be looking at another process? Back-up to DVD?
Thanks for your help!!!!
Feel free to ask me questions as well. These are very important photos, actually ANYONE'S photos are important......just want them safe for the future.

You can run an entire library from that external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Now, when you add new pics, that's where they will go - obviously, as long as the disk is attached to your Mac and not in the closet
The longevity of storage is a matter of some debate. Optical media (CD & DVD) are rated in years, but none have been around long enough to know if those ratings are accurate. My solution to that problem is to burn a copy of my library to DVD twice a year, so that gets renewed every six months or so. I also upload my library to FLICKR.
I guess the point of backing up is that it's an ongoing process, not a single event.

Question Re: Clear Recent History Options

Navigating to: Clear Recent History > Details > Form & Search History
Question: I deselected all other boxes under details except Form & Search History
Time range was set to: Everything
My original objective for doing so was achieved
However, when I go back to this window, I cannot deselect all options and apply this null selection.
In my opinion, the user should be able to control what is cleared anytime they navigate to this window.
If the last most selection cannot be cleared then an accidental click on clear recent history without choosing the options in the details can lead to an error.
Why isn't there an apply button in the details window?

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Question about keep no history option

How long does "no history" actually keep history when logged in? I understand that it deletes history on logout of skype, but if I were to keep skype running and just exit a conversation, will skype eventually delete that history? Or does that stay until I log out?

I too am having the same issue. I have it set for No History, however when I exit and come back the following day, everything is still there. I have to manually go in and clear yesterdays history. There has to be a way to delete history on exit. Maybe I am issing it somewhere?????

Question about the shared folder when backing up audio

Hello, kind Mac folk. I've read a lot about using Itunes to backup Itunes libraries onto multiple CD-R's and it seems that, right now, this is the best option for me. However, I've also read that it's a good idea to also backup the "users/shared" folder from the HD because it contains some invisible information regarding the authentication of music that I purchased using my .Mac/Itunes account. So is it possible to burn this folder in the same burning project I'll use accross the CD-R's on which my tunes will go? Or do I need to place this folder in a burn folder and back it up that way? And, if the latter is the only way possible, will it matter that the information is on a separate disc if I ever need to restore or upgrade my hardware? Thanks so much for your help and advice.
Austin

If you create your backup CD-Rs from within iTunes, it's not possible to include the Shared folder.
You have to burn that folder as a separate project.
The size of the folder can be fairly large (mine is about 1.9 GB) depending on the applications and specific use of your computer.
If your only goal is to save the authorization info in case of a HD crash or other failure, it won't help. After repair of a logic board or changing RAM, you will be asked to authorize again anyway.
Take a look at this article
The authorization info is stored in the 'SC Info.sidb' file inside the 'SC Info' folder in Shared.
You can 'unhide' invisible files by tools like Tinkertool or OnyX (you can find them on versiontracker.com)
Hope this helps.

Question about private web browsing and Spotlight

I was browsing personal webpages on a work computer using Safari's 'Private Web Browsing', but although Safari doesn't remember the pages, Spotlight does which is a little concerning!
I have excluded webpages from Spotlight searches but that doesn't mean the pages have gone. I have tried clearing my history in Safari and Resetting it, to no avail. Can someone tell me how to delete the webpages from Spotlight?
Thanks and regards

Hi Rapidness,
I checked on my computer and do not have this issue. And I have no website located somewhere on my machine, after cleaning / or resetting the browser.
In the "Safari" - Menu > below the "Private Surfing" > is "Safari Reset"
Maybe you should try this...
You can also use "Onyx" to reset the browser. See the link below:

Some questions about Unity 4.0 and IPC

I have a couple of questions and I was looking for "real world" answers, not specific answers from the design guide.
1.What is this bandwidth requirement between Exchange and Unity and what is it used for?
2. What sort of issues would we experience if we placed the Unity UM Server at the Colo and placed the Exchange server at the customer premise; with a single T1 between the sites?
3.What else is involved with a Unity UM install vs. a Unity VM install?
4.Does the Unity UM and Exchange servers have to be running AD?
5. Can Unity or the Exchange box be the Domain Controller? Or does it need to be a separate server?
6. Where does a vm message get streamed from? The Unity server or the Exchange server?

No you do not pay for FaceTime. It uses your WiFi network, so if you have access to WiFi it is free.
There is no server required for FaceTime, it will use a direct device to device protocol.
I can't answer the question about using phones in different countries as that will depend on if you buy a phone that is locked to a carrier.
If you buy a phone in Germany and it is locked to a German phone network then it will most likely not work with a SIM from Turkey. You would need to buy an unlocked phone which are very expensive as they do not have any carrier subsidy applied to the price.

Started to clear browse history and now I can't open Firefox at all for the past four hours

I am on a MacBook Pro and recently was prompted to upgrade Firefox. Since the upgrade, I found surfing the internet harder as I frequently found Firefox...not crashing...but it would get stuck trying to open up or to open up a new page or site. I looked this up in Firefox support and found something called "hanging" and this sounded like what I was experiencing. Looking through I tried finding the various solutions. Nothing helped. I did try to clear the browsing history. Each time I tried that, it locked up with the spinning thinking wheel. Then, I tried resetting the preferences to clear on exit and then exited. Ever since then, I cannot get Firefox to launch to the internet at all. I get "not responsive" on a right-click. Please help. I love my Firefox. - Lynda

Question about using 10g/11g and APEX ...

Hi,
I just recently learned of Oracle's APEX and have a few questions about using it.
Can I use APEX with express, standard, and enterprise editions of 10g and 11g?
Are all of these free to use?

You might want to read about APEX rather than jumping into questions that are reasonably well documented. Info at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
Your specific questions:
1) Apex is a package that can be installed into any properly licensed database.
2) The price for the production license of the database varies by edition.
The price for Express Edition is $0 for use in production. Part of the cost for that edition is 'no Oracle Support based support, no patches, data volume limitation, etc.'
