Return of the Deathstar !

Hi,
I'm replacing an IMB deskstar within my G4 before it finally implodes and before swapping it out I'm obviously trying to back it up in order to restore to the new HD once installed.
There are three files that both Silverkeeper and Carbon Copy Cloner keep having problems with, I'm convinced they are corrupted in some way.
However, looking at the detailed logfile that CCC provides at the end of the cloning process, I can see what files they are and each error message ends 'Input / Ouput error' - one is a sample within my 'Drumkits from ****' sample library, I no longer use these samples so I can delete the sample library, the last file is one of the .aif files within iTunes that I ripped from CD, so again, no problem, I can delete it and rip it again.
My issue is with the second file that gets flagged, it's /users/my name/Library/Preferences/CD Info.cidb
What does this file do exactly and can I delete it without fear of screwing something else up ?!!
Many thanks for your help.

Hi, Nick. Opening a duplicate copy of my own file by that name in BBEdit, I find that it contains data from the GraceNote CDDB about my iTunes music files. I tried dragging it out onto the desktop and then opening iTunes, and nothing seemed to be missing from the information about my music that can be accessed by selecting a song and hitting Command-I. Then I Quit iTunes, Zipped the CD Info.cidb file on my desktop, trashed the original file, and opened iTunes again. No ill effects observed. So your corrupt file can safely be trashed, I think.

    I bought iPad and I can not access, A message appears asking me account and password when i return to the person who I purchased it from him, he told me that he forgot the account and password
    I want a solution to the problem, because in this way I will not benefit from the iPad

    There is no solution.  You have to provide the ID and password.  There is no way around it.  If the person you bought it from can't provide it, return it and get your money back.

  • Can I return my The new Ipad ?

    I'm from Australia. Can I return my The new Ipad to apple with reason about not feeling happly of my Ipad is unable to use 4g network?Thanks

    If you are within the return policy period of where you bought the
    iPad. I believe Apple's policy is 14 days from time of purchase.
    If you bought it from other than Apple, you will have to check with
    the retailer you purchase from.

    Hi,
    How to return all the column values using the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST?
    For example : if the row has 3 columns then after selecting the particular row, the RETURN_TAB internal table should contain all the three column values.

  • Why is it that when looking through  new apps in the  apps store on my ipad in release date mode  does it return to the first 1-12 after viewing pparticular apps?

    why is it that when I look through the new apps in the apps store in release date mode it returns to the first page after veiwing more information about some apps, I could be ten to twenty pages in and have it happen.
    Also, I only speak and read English and although there are probably great apps for people from other nations, I don't want to wade through all the apps that I can't make use of. I expect that people of other nationalities or languages don't want to have to wade through every app that they can't make use of, is there not a way that alI users could filter by language?
    I mean no offence to anyone but with a collection of hundreds of thousands of apps in all languages and the jump back to the begining after possibly being into the list by a number of pages I stop looking after awhile and I'm sure I've missed some excellent apps by doing so.

  • When I click on a result of a Google search and then go that web site, the Back button on the toolbar is grayed out and I cannot return to the search results.

    When using FF3.6 and making a Google search, when I click on a result and then go that web site, the Back button on the toolbar is grayed out and I cannot return to the search results without going to History. This does not happen all the time; about 1/2 of the time.
    This problem is not limited to Google, but occurs with other sites as well.

    If you are talking about searches from - http://www.google.com/ - are you logged into a Google account all the time? If so, check your "Search Settings" from the "gear" in the upper-right corner of that Google search page and see if you have '''Open search results in a new browser window.''' check-marked, at the bottom of that preferences page. When that is check-marked and you have Tab options in Firefox set to '''Open new windows in a new tab instead''', you will get search results always opening in a new tab instead of the same tab. As to why that works different for "sponsored links" I don't know, I haven't seen the "sponsored links" for years now, I have a GM script that blocks those advertisements.

  • Is there a setting to return to the inbox after deleting/filing an open email?

    Hi all,
    I'm running iPhone 4s. Is there a setting to have the mail client return to the inbox after deleting/filing an open email? It currently just opens the next email.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You could try is to '''Disable''' the Foxit, Adobe and Office '''Plugins''' in '''Tools '''('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' and use the normal Firefox Open with (when you click on a link) to browse/open it in the required application.

  • Since upgrading to 7.1 on my iphone 5C I try to open the phone icon to make a phone call and it tries to open then returns to the home screen.  I also cannot get anything else to open.  It will randomly reboot or just freeze.

    I just got my iphone 5C on Wednesday, I was slow to move my apps over because well I loved my iphone3.  Never had any problems!
    I finally moved my apps over last night and was prompted to upgrade to 7.1.  I upgraded, then received a voicemail, listened to part of the voicemail (the phone dropped the call) and went back to the main screen. 
    Then nothing worked. I try to open the phone icon and it tried to open but it returned to the main screen.  I tried opening anything else and nothing will work.  Not even the phone icon.  It also would not shut down. 
    I let it sit for twenty minutes and tried to turn it off.  Then ten minutes later it just rebooted itself.  Waited until it came back up and tried to open settings, photo, camera, phone nothing will open.
    I know the touch is still working because it is locked and it will allow me to unlock it every time.  So I guess something is working.
    Any suggestions?

    Finally got my phone to power off.  I was able to reset the phone and everything is now working.  I guess I just needed patience!

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next would be a restore. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factoruy defaults/new iPod.

  • I am having an issue where safari keeps crashing and returning to the home screen on an ipad1

    safari on my ipad1 keeps crashing and returning to the home screen. rebooting does not fix the problem neither has a full reset through itunes from a backup or setting up as a new machine. Cab nay body help?

    If restoring from a backup doesn't help, you must have something corrupt in the backup - like a Safari bookmark perhaps - or something in the Safari history. Try the last tip in this list first.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Close Safari and all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working.  When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

    A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working.  When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
    I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference.  I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
    Any thoughts about what might be wrong? 

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

    I just updated iOS on my iPhone 5.
    What a shock!! Where is the premium look and feel I bought my iPhone for?
    If I wanted the lokale feel of iOS 7.0 I would have bought a much cheeper taiwanese smartphone.
    Please let me know how I can return to the original look and feel of the iPhone surface I bought my phone for.
