Reinstating a Deleted Alias

This morning I inadvertantly deleted my email alias while futzing with my verizon configuration.
This was a big mistake as Verizon's system will not simply let you change it back. This was the alias that I use for my business. So my clients are getting emails rejected and wondering what the heck is going on. Furthermore it's printed on my business cards etc ...
So I did a couple of long sessions with support and was told by both the agent AND the supervisor that it would take 90 days for the old alias to be aged out of the system and that I could re-instate my old email alias after that.
Then I read in these forums that there was a 24-48 hour process that many of the agents didn't know about. Sure enough, I called back a third time and the agent was able to figure it out. Here's how he described it:
Alberto(12:09:48): Every company has protocols time frames or dead lines for certain processes, this particular process of re enabling the user name you mistakenly erased normally takes 90 days, why? because once it is assigned to you is your and contains your personal information, if deleted like you did, eve if it is accidentally, that personal information is put hiatus, and the name is non available until after 90 days, then becomes available again. I took a short cut by contacting a software technician, and since the erasing happened just recently, that is the reason why they were able to do so, why was this not done by any previous agent, I can not tell, I am just following procedures.

I am sorry to hear you lost your alias. I have sent you a private message to get more info from you

Deleted alias shown as inviting email address in iCal invitation

I just discovered that an already deleted alias is shown as inviting email address in my iCal invitation to others. I double checked this in the iCloud Mail account settings: The alias is definitely gone there, but still used for invitations.
Does anyone have an idea how this can happen? How to fix this?
Thanks!

Interestingly this only happens when creating events on the iPhone. When I create an event on icloud.com in the browser the sender email address is correct.

Maxl script for delete alias

Hi All,
wen im loading the all the dimensions we have to delete all alises and reload all the dimensions
How can i delete alias for every load using maxl or any thing else
Thanks

Dear user98631,
I was going to refer you to this link: Re: HOW can i delete the members in dim using MAXL but I find that you are one and the same as the OP of that thread so you've already got the gen on what MaxL can and cannot do.
So, briefly, there is no MaxL command to delete aliases.
What you could do is create a dimension load rule that load blanks to aliases. This would require a rebuild of each dimension that you wanted to impact.
I'm a little confused, though.
You wrote:
wen im loading the all the dimensions we have to delete all alises and reload all the dimensions
How can i delete alias for every load using maxl or any thing else Do you want to delete the aliases from existing dimensions, or delete all of the dimensions and rebuild them from scratch?
If you want to do the latter, the previous thread linked above ought to do it. If you don't want aliases, just ignore the column with the aliases in your build table/file.
Does this answer your question?
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour

Deleting alias (moving to trash) has ended in disaster!

Hi
I am very new mac as will probably become apparent. My problem is this; I have recently been taking a lot of photos on my phone and have been storing these images in Dropbox (my phones android, and so they don't get along) so I can instantly access them on my new mac mini (less than 3 months old). I decided i wanted to move the files from my reapidly filling dropbox to a more permanent setup. So i simply dragged and dropped the desired folder from Dropbox into finder but in my haste I dropped the folder into applications instead of pictures. This proved to be a fatal error.
Having realised this I tried to correct the mistake by reselecting the images/ video clips and dragging them over into pictures... Sorted. Apparently not. After some time of the little colourful wheel spinning. Nothing appeared to have happened, the files were still in applications in front of me. So I repeated the action, again the little wheel, again nothing moved. So I checked pictures. There were now 2 "copies" of all the files from applications. Job done I deleted the unwanted images from applications. Returning to pictures I realised that they were in fact not copies but instead "alias" something quite frankly I had never heard of. Disgruntled I realised I had deleted all of my actual pictures and replaced them instead with double the number of now apparently useless aliases ( I had of course in my wisdom cleared out the trash bin only moments before so the originals have gone). I must now admit that there was originally over 1000 images, which has now doubled to some 2000 aliases.
Being a novice I starting clicking the aliases to see if anything would happen, or more appropriately how to delete them. This resulted in that dialogue box I'm sure everybody knows about ( delete or fix) popping up after about 20 minutes of the colourful thing again. After various freezing, dialogue boxes and general delay I tried to shut down finder ( it was desperately trying to find loads of originals I knew it would never find and was getting in a tizzy) via activity monitor. This resulted in at first a denial ( a box telling me it was busy ) and then a virtual implosion as I rather stupidly tried to find the bit of activity monitor that would shut off the bloomin trying to find original thingy. With nothing but a blank screen in front of me I did the only i knew how. Turned it off and on again.
It seemed to work, the stupid things are still in pictures in finder but at least it booted up ok. This time I just tried highlighting a bunch of them and clicking go to trash. This took aaaaaggggggeeeessss. Eventually I got under 100 of them deleted. And then I gave up and went to bed. Today I have started to try again. Growing impatient of trying to delete them in tiny batches I hoped if I set them all to delete and leave it going eventually time heal the wound. Alas not to be. Highlighting them and right clicking to bring up the box that would allow me to say delete caused ( after 20 more minutes of whirly colourful thing) it to try to open the delete or fix dialogue box for every single one at once. With over 2000 dialogue boxes trying to open at once it took it nearly an hour to give up completely of what I can only assume was a mac mini version of a massive stroke.
The current situation is thus; me quietly trying to delete them one at a time but even this approach is taking nearly five minutes just for one to delete.
PLEASE HELP!!!
A) what have I done?
B) how do I fix it?
C) And how do I delete the bloomin things!!!
( pretty sure the operating system is completely up to date Mountain Lion if that at all helps)

Hello & welcome.
If you want to try to recover those pics you must stop using the Mac for anything, as the sectors that might still hold those files will get used by the OS.
It may be possible to recover some erased ones, but you must quit using the Computer immediately, because the OS will think it can write to those freed blocks on the disk.
Either boot this one in Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
And recovering from another Mac, or booting this Mac from another HDD, then using Data Rescue...
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
rccharles on file recovery...
"Stellar Phoenix Macintosh - Mac data recovery software, recovers data from damaged, deleted, or corrupted volumes and even from initialized disks."
They have a trial version, so I guess you can see if your data can be recovered...

FileSalvage is an extremely powerful Macintosh application for exploring and recovering deleted files from a drive or volume. FileSalvage is designed to restore files that have:
    * been accidentally deleted.
    * become unreadable due to media faults.
    * been stored on a drive before it was re-initialized/formatted.

Deleting alias from disk window

I mounted a new harddisk a couple of months ago to my G5. The system disk had two partition. My service has formatted it and they have copied my folders that was in first disk to new disk. So, when i click the disk, there are old directory alias under the disk icons. I delete them and restart my computer but old icons come back...
Does anyone have an idea?

Is my question poorly phrased
Perhaps slightly...!
Are you talking about clips you have placed in the Clip Pane of iMovie?
Those you can delete by clicking delete, but as they remain in the project file there is not much point.
If you are talking about the window in iDVD where you can fill the drop zones, then don"t delete them or they will not appear in the theme.
Or have I misunderstood something!

Restore Accidentally Deleted Alias

Hello all--- I just switched over to iCloud. I have had an email alias ([email protected]) that I have used for work for several years. The alias successfully transfered. It showed up in the iCloud preferences post-transfer.
And then... accidentally, I deleted it (I clicked the "delete" button by mistake, and that was it, no confirmation button, it was gone. GONE!) I really need to get that back!! Any ideas???? I've been bounced around Apple Support with no luck and meanwhile, my work emails are falling into an abyss....

I hope to hear from a Verizon representative very soon--telephone is the best method to reach me at this point.
It's been four days since the alias disappeared, which means hundreds of emails I have not received. Verizon Technical Support by telephone haven't been able to help, and they give different, often conflicting information--as one might expect, since they're not the ones who have the knowledge and power regarding the situation.

How to delete alias in launchpad?

I have accidentally created an alias for Quicktime Player, which I'm unable to delete. It appears in the launchpad only but I don't seem to be able to remove it. When I hold Control-Option-Command, the X doesn't come up for this application. It does for some other applications in the launchpad but not Quicktime Player.
Has anyone had a similar problem and does anyone know how to remove it?
Thanks

If the icon shows a question mark in the middle when you click on it then the alias is gone and all you need to do is drag the icon to the trash.
If the icon still launches the app then you have an active icon. Launchpad will find virtually all apps or app alias files on your system.
It too me several minutes to find and delete all of my redundant ...alias icons. It would have taken much longer but I had almost all of my alias files stored in stacks. Delete the stack folder and the icons weren't active. Drag them to the trash and the icons are gone.

Can´t delete alias...HELP PLEASE!

I do my school work on my mac Air, and when I delete my files, the icon are still attached on finder as an alias file. Also, right clicking on the file is no longer possible when the file is "deleted". So it´s becomes like a ghost file. The worst part is that these files do have sizes!!
I have tried everything to delete these bastards like f. example the classic drag-to-trash technique, etc.
Pleeeeeeease help mee!

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Hiding or deleting Alias in FTP

Hi
I have a problem with FTP on 10.4.10 Server. I would prefer that outside clients could not see our share points when connected via FTP. On top of that, the local network has the FTP folder as a share point so that appears mirrored within the FTP root.... very annoying...!
Anyone any ideas hoe to get rid of these alias's...?
Thanks
Richie

Anyone any ideas about this or is it just not possible...?

Deleting Alias Table

How do we get rid of an alias table once we created it in EPMA - dimension library (version 11.1.2.x).
For example I have 4 alias. English, French, German, Spanish
We aren't going to use Spanish in the end so want to get rid of it from Planning. There is no alias associated with Spanish either.
The error message says: The following error occurred: Member "Spanish" is referenced by another Member.
It keeps telling me that the member is reference somewhere but we have no alias names in the alias table we want to remove. Is there some back end process we need to do?

Try to execute in your planning scheme
select mbr.object_name member_name,aln.object_name spanish_name,dim.object_name dim_name
from hsp_object alt,hsp_object ald,hsp_object mbr,hsp_object aln,hsp_alias alr,hsp_object dim
where upper(alt.object_name)='SPANISH'
and alt.parent_id= ald.object_id
and ald.object_name='Aliases'
and alr.member_id =mbr.object_id
and alr.aliastbl_id=alt.object_id
and alr.alias_id=aln.object_id
and mbr.object_type=dim.object_id
