Questions about User folders

I keep filling my internal HD and am looking for ways to create more space. The particular set of files that interests me is the computername.sparsebundle file. This file is 261 GB of my 300 GB HD. The file path is Users> .computername (folder) > .computername.sparspebundle > bands (folder) > series of files with alphanumeric designations. If that doesn't make sense, here's a link to the WhatSize screenshot of the file path.

I want to know what the files, the files with the alphanumeric designations, are and if I can delete some, or all of them. If not, what would be a good way to empty space on my HD? Thanks for the help,
Matt

as baltwo says this means you have filevault turned on. the sparse bundle you are looking at is the encrypted sparse bundle with your home directory. don't try to delete it.

  • Questions about user-defined functions

    Hello all,
    I've got some questions about user-defined function in a message mapping:
    1) How can I get the current date/time in format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss ? What is the java code for this?
    2) I want to use the StreamTransformation constant TIME_SENT, only this is not in the right time-zone.
    It is GMT and it should be CET (1 hour difference). How can I convert this in Java?
    Can somebody help me with this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Marco van Iersel

    Hi Marco,
    If the date format is fixed as you have mentioned,please use this:
                                    String test = "2009-03-27 23:15:30";
              String test1 = test.substring(11,13);
              if(!test1.equals("23"))
              int a = Integer.parseInt(test1);
              int b = a+1;
              System.out.println("b"+b);
              String c = Integer.toString(b);
                                    test = test.substring(0,10)+" " + c + test.substring(13,19);
                                    return test;
              if(test1.equals("23"))
              test = test.substring(0,10)+ " 00" + test.substring(13,19);
              return test;
                                    else return "";
    Kindly let me know if this works.
    Thanks.

  • A question about users assigned roles extraction

    Dear all,
    I have a question about users assigned roles list extraction. I need the list of the users who have already been created along with their assigned roles. According to what I found on Google, there is a table named AGR_USERS which provides the roles assigned to each user. Yet, this table provides only the SAP ID of each user along with the assigned roles. What I need more is to have also the first name and second name of each user.
    So, do you know any table providing at least the following information:
    1) First name of each user
    2) Second name of each user
    3) SAP ID of each user
    4) All assigned roles to each user.
    NOTE: I really need to have first name and second name in separate columns
    Thanks in advance,
    Dariyoosh

    Thanks to you and others for your attention to my problem
    I don't know anything about ABAP programming, is there any transaction allowing to create this join? As it seems to me the column "UNAME" in the table "AGR_USERS" and the column "BNAME" in the table "USER_ADDR", both refer to the SAP ID of the user. As a result the condition of the join would be "WHERE (UNAME = BNAME)", is there  any transaction/programme allowing to create this join?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Question about Measure folders Items (dimensions & measures)

    Hi All,
    I have tow question about measure folder
    1-     How can I make measure folder contain both dimensions & measures?
         Like this image http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/r10122/images/d1t10202.gif
    2-     When I create measure folder and add some measures in it, when I query cube these measures still displayed out of folders how can I make all measures and dimensions displayed only on folders like the above image ?
    Regards,
    Gado

    Hi Andy,
    There should be no difference in functionality for these two kinds of folders. You can perform all the operations on these two kinds of folders without any difference, for example, delivery messages, create view settings/rules and etc.

    Please help me to check if this program is right?
    I have made a debugging, but i do not understand, why this program runs 3 time with I_STEP from 0 to 3. In fact I need only the data with I_STEP = 2.
    Addtionally i want to know if the tabel e_t_range will provide the returned value (ZODD1) ?
    THANKS A LOT.

    THanks your replies!
    I would like to know if the e_t_range provides the returned value (In this program i want to get the value of ZODD1)?
    IF yes, in I_STEP = 2 e_t_range save the right value for ZODD1. But this program run one time again--- I_STEP=3, at this time e_t_range hat not any value, that means if i will not get the value for ZODD1?
    THANKS.

  • Question About User Accounts and Applications!

    I just want to know how the user accounts work. I want to free up extra space on my macbook pro and want to know if the application install twice once into my account and once in the guest account?

    No, applications go in the Applications folder at the root of your drive, not in the user folder. User folders only store your data (documents, photos, music, settings files, etc).

  • Question about Users and/or ICE

    I am new to BC and already frustrated.
    I have a site created in DW. I want my client to be able to edit some of the general text and edit—add and subtract—the images inside a photo gallery (from a BC module). On of my team has added ICE code to certain items that we want them to be able to change but do not know if—or how—ICE can be applied to images in the photo gallery module.
    So I can use ICE for my client but, after watching and reading several tutorials about how great ICE is, I have not found the answer to the simple question: how does my client access this process? I have also tried to create a limited User for the client but even there I have no clear answer on how to limit the client's access, or for that matter target only the text and photo gallery.
    I am hoping that some kind soul out there will take pity and explain—step-by-step—the best way to accomplish what seemed when I started this process to be a pretty straight forward request. I have gone to several tutorial sites and even found what may be the only book written on BC and after the fact discovered that these materials are already obsolete. Please, help. The account people are breathing down my neck to get this done.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Question about user creation.

    So I've created using the Wiki article https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users_and_groups here.
    I've created a user and gave it a password and added to the wheel, and it works fine. I can login and it starts X and everything, however there is no file structure within the home/username directory. I always see on Arch Wiki and other ones about editing X rc files and what not, and they're referring to ~/.xinitrc or something similar.
    However my X files are located in the root place still. Is this something I should be taking into consideration and changing? I don't want to get further down the road and then have something be setup wrong. As of right now the only folders in my user folder are Desktop and Downloads, and I created those. I'm just wondering if there is something I'm supposed to do to transfer my X server and Window Manager stuff from the root positions to the user level. If running these from a root point is an okay thing to do I'm fine with that, I'm just under the impression I'm not supposed to do that.

    jasonwryan wrote:Don't run X as root. Follow the xinitrc wiki article and move all the files you need to run X as your user to their ~.
    Alright. Thanks for the link, should I follow that as a general rule of thumb(Although I can't see myself really installing anything else as root in the future)? Right now my Display Manager and Window Manager as both installed under root as well, and a couple other things I believe.

  • Question about Originals folders

    im currently running iphoto 5.0.4, and in a few days my ilife09 will arrive and ill upgrade to that. until then, im trying to get as firm of a hold on how to operate iphoto as i can, with using what i have.
    my question is, what is the point of these Originals folders im seeing? what do they do what are they for?
    thanks!

    Note - iPhoto is a database and it depends on the content AND structure of the iPhoto library - any changes made to it may corrupt the library and cause you to lose data
    In iPhoto '09 the iPhoto library is a UNIX style package and with Leopard there are many safe ways to access your photos - going directly into the library is not one of them - there simply are no user serviceable parts in the iPhoto library
    The iPhoto library contains many elements - the originals folder contains the original photos, the modified folder the modified photos for any photo that have been edited, the data folder the thumbnails for display

  • Questions about hiding folders

    Hi, I am trying to a hide a folder and have some questions. First of all, all my contents are backed up by google drive in a folder titled "Google Drive". Second, I am trying to hide it with the command string "chflags hidden ~/Google Drive/" However, I'm getting the response:
    chflags: /Users/(OMITTED)/Google: No such file or directory
    chflags: Drive/: No such file or directory
    So my questions are:
    1. The file "Google Drive" is in my home directory so it is there but it says Google can not be located. I'm guessing this is because of the space right? If so, how do I do this correctly?
    2. Once the folder is hidden, would folders within Google Drive also be hidden if they are shown as shortcuts in Finder?

    I am doing it in Terminal. So the proper dictation is:
    chflags hidden ~/Google\Drive/
    Is that correct?

  • Question about user accounts

    Setting up new mini with 10.6 installed. This is my second Mac, current system is eMac with 10.3. All files/media I want to save are backed up on ext. HD.
    This time I want to set up an Administrator Acct. and another User Acct. (without Admin. access) for routine use. Did not know enough to do that the first time.
    But, I want access to all the old files without ownership/privileges problems.
    As I understand it, I can make the user acct. names the same as the names on my acct. on the old system and there should not be any problem? I have a reason for wanting to not do this, but certainly can and probably will, if that will work.
    To help me understand all this, is the "short name" the real account name/identifier? In other words, can I make the user name anything I want as long as the "short name" is the same?

    The info you have given has thrown me for a loop. As I stated in my reply to Scott I am really having trouble understanding this whole account/file ownership issue, although I thought I had it figured out and was seeking verification.
    Regarding your info about copying files from an external drive, how/why does "ignore ownership on this drive" work?
    "ignore ownership" makes all files on the external read+write by any user so there are no issues with permissions.
    Did a lot of research on several Mac help sites before posting here. A common problem seems to be someone wanting/needing to change account name(s) on a system they will continue to use. Common advice given is:
    Create new account.
    Copy/transfer files to new account.
    Remove/delete old account.
    How/why does that work without file ownership/permissions being a problem?
    most files have read permissions by everybody when created so copying them from one account to another is not a problem. please read up on the basic permissions structure
    http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml
    I understand that the real UID is a numeric code. How does the system arrive at that code?
    the very first user account created on any mac has UID 501 by default. the next one 502 and so on.
    It seems to me if I use the same, exact, account name(s), file ownership would not be an issue.
    that's completely wrong. same account name doesn't help in any way at all. same user ID is what's checked.
    for example when you create a file on an external drive and then move that drive to another computer if you access it from an account with the same user ID by a different user name it will show you as the owner.

  • Question about users

    Hello,
    after installing oracle database ii saw that there are numerous default users (for example: DMSYS, HR, IX, CTXSYS, WMSYS, XDB, and so on..). if i don't need these users can i delete them? or what's the sense having those users? what they are for? i wanna have just those users i need, so for example i have an organization and i created a user for each employee. i don't need all other users
    Please clarify me..
    Regards,

    Roger22,
    Every username ending in SYS owns the repository for an Oracle provided facility.
    DMSYS is for datamining, CTXSYS is for Oracle Text, WMSYS is for Workspace Manager, etc.
    Apart from the fact you can not 'delete users', there is a DROP USER ... CASCADE statement,
    these facilities have their own de-installation procedure, which you can run by starting up dbca and choose for 'Edit Database' and disable the appropiate question.
    The nature of your question betrays you seem to plan to abuse this forum as a free documentation abstraction service.
    Could you please refer to http://tahiti.oracle.com first, this will resolve your questions quicker, and you will actually learn something.

  • Question about users in thr realm file.

    Hi,
    I started reading and practicing how to implement security issues on web applications. I understand that you can use either a the declarative approach or a programmatic approach using annotations. From what I understand all the users,groups and principals are managed by the application server and the roles are managed by the web.xml and sun-web.xml and can be used in the annotations.
    My question is as follows: If I am building a web site that requires a login process, it means that I have to save the information of the web site's users in a database or in some other means of data source. Do I have to declare all my web site users in the realm file also, Is there a way to map the users from the database to the users in the realm file?
    Thanks

  • Question about User Accounts and bugs

    Hello!
    I'm a developer and just started this iPhone app project so I'm not really experienced with all this cocoa/Mac/iPhone world yet.
    The thing is: I'm having this crash on the app running on the simulator, but this ONLY happens with my main user account. Doesn't happen on the device, on another account on the same computer or my coworkers computers.
    I haven't found what's causing this, so I'm thinking about deleting my account and recreating it.
    Is deleting an user account like formatting it?
    Is there anything that I could try before deleting it? Like restoring permissions or the OS with the dvd... These are things that I read about Mac Support.
    Any ideas?

    roam wrote:

    No, deleting it removes it. Like, put in the trash and then empty it.
    Importantly you should create a new user account with Admin privileges and from that new account delete the older one. Doing it this way still leaves you with Admin control of your computer.
    Before you delete an account... as to your particular problem, there are particular forums concerned with application development. Click on the link below for more specialized forums regarding iPhone app development and your coding error.
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=164
    Yeah, I created another account with Admin privileges, I'm just reluctant to the idea of having to config everything again in the new account. I tried Stack Overflow and iPhoneDevSDK, will try the Apple's forum now.
    Thanks mate.
