Reverting to Original does not delete the backup copy

Hi,
I am new to Mac. I have late last year's Macbook Pro that came with iPhoto '09.
When I mark certain photos to revert them to original, I am expecting that it would delete the modified copy from the Modified folder in the iPhoto library. In many cases I am seeing that it still keeps the picture in Modified folder.
Why does it not always remove the picture from Modified folder after I have done a Revert to Original?
Thanks
MS

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Launch iPhoto and try the revert to original again.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Time Machine Backup Error. Time machine could not delete the backup disk image .sparsebundle

Time Machine is giving an error message. Time Machine couldnt complete the backup. I am using the Seagate GoFlex Home. Error message states Time Machine could not delete the backup disk image "/volumes/Go Flex Home Backup/iMAc.sparsebundle". Does anybody have any ideas?

I have deleted all files in the Time Machine backup via Windows, Finder, and GoFlex UI.
I think this is your problem.. you need to follow the exact setup from seagate to get TM running again.. please read the manual... I do not have one but I do have another brand of NAS and setting up TM involves a fairly complex set of instructions.. because it is not a native Apple device.. your computer does not recognise it as TM capable.. you need to use the work around the manual will explain.

HT201250 what do I do if my passport for mac does not delete the old files when the disc is full

What do I do if the time machine does not delete the oldest files on my passport for mac. I get the message backup failed not enough disc space available

See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.

"Time Machine could not delete the backup disk"

This morning, I got the "Time Machine must create a new backup for you" message referred to here: http://pondini.org/TM/C13.html
I went ahead and told it "start new backup" but after a few minutes, got this message, ending in error message -1: "Time Machine could not delete the backup disk." It did not reference a sparsebundle file or some other specific file name as I've seen in some other threads, and I haven't been able to find this exact issue anywhere in the forum or on Pondini's page.
I went ahead and told it manually to do a new backup, but I am concerned that it will "lie to me" about the verifiability of the files per Pondini's page above (orange box at the bottom). I'll attempt to force it to manually verify once this backup completes to see what happens, I guess.
I'd appreciate any input.

And now an effort to manually start a backup produces this error: "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 233.73 GB but only 188.30 GB are available."

TS4083 I delete an email on my iphone but it does not delete the same email on my laptop. Any suggestions to help?

I delete an email on my iphone but it does not delete the same email on my laptop. Any suggestions to help?

Yes, There are actually 4 calendars listed under my iCloud account. The listing on my iPhone is exactly like the listing on my iPad. The iPad is updating but not the iPhone. It's odd because the iPhone did work at one time so I'm assuming it some setting I've changed. I have checked and double checked that the settings on both devices are the same. Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.

"Move to trash", ask password but still does not delete the file

hi, when i try to delete any file on my mac, the laptop ask for password, then i put the password but it still does not delete the file. Anybody can help?

Make sure the application or document you are trying to delete is not open or running.

Moving mail to the trash icon does not delete the mail.

I am using an iPad with OS Ver 7.0.2. Moving mail to the "Trash" icon does not delete the mail from the Inbox. This is not a problem on my iPhone. Settings are the same on both devices

First thing to try is a reset: hold the on/off button and the hold button at the same time until the iPad completely shuts down, then turn back on.
May not work, but often resolves simple app issues.

Delete an email from the pc, does not delete the email from the iPad.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks, I was told that my Yahoo account has to be setup on the Mac as a POP account. Can you please let me know what the difference is (in simple terms) between IMAP and POP?

When i delete an audio book from my computer it does not delete the book from my Iphone. it seems to be deleting the name from the computer but not the content. this has just started happening since the last itune progam updated. the result is i have

I record audio books from my library onto my old iPhone. I download the book from Overdrive to my computer. I connect the Iphone to the computer and transfer the audio-book to the iPhone. When I am done listening to the book i delete it from the iPhone by connecting it to the computer and doing a manual sync. this worked fine until the last i-tunes update on my computer. Now when the iPhone is connected and i tell the computer to delete a book it is only deleting the name of the book on the computer it is not deleting the book from the phone. The next time I connect the phone to the computer the program does not show the book in the phone but it is still in the phone. I have no more room on my phone to get any new books on it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

HT1495 I delete emails on my Iphone 4s but it does not delete the email when I open my Ipad. Any help would be appreciated

When I delete an email from my Yahoo account on my Iphone 4s, it does not delete it from my computer or my IPAD. I am forced to delete every message three times. Any ideas?

You may well have a POP Yahoo account, in which case deleting emails on one device does not delete them everywhere else. POP accounts do not provide sync services like IMAP accounts (e.g. Apple mail). Usually, a POP account offers settings so that when you delete an email locally, that will also delete it from the server; however, if this email has already copied down to another device, that email will not delete from that other device. Or you can set a POP account so that deleting on a device will not delete from the server, thus all other devices will eventually get the email as well.

Bridge does not make a backup copy

Evening
I was about to do a backup of my images and while I was looking at them, that although I had selected Bridge to make a backup copy and specified a directory it do not do that.
I have run many trials trying to get it to write a backup but it does't
When I start the download from my CF card I set the paramaters and options which in this case is simply rename to shot date and make a backup copy.
The progress window says it is copying the image it then switches to say it is making a backup copy. But yet that backup copy never appears.
I managed to get a bunch of screen snapshots and it appears Bridge is making a copy but it is simply writing it to the primary directory, same as the first copy so it is merely overwriting itself. I know this because when it says making Backup Copy it shows the destination directory which is the same as the first copy. I check the directory I specified for the backup and it says D:\images\raw but still puts them in C:\-----
Any ideas why Bridge is not placing a backup copy where I want it?

I was hoping to learn something here.
I suspect that it does not matter whether IBA runs on a desktop or a laptop, but I don't know everything, and I was hoping that you might know something I don't and might be willing to share it. But, apparently not.
You're not capable of knowing if you are using a desktop or laptop?
That's a rather insulting question, don't you think? Instead of asking leading questions, why don't you just simply say "well, if it's a laptop, the problem might this whereas, if it's a desktop, the problem might be that"?
At any rate, my take on the situation is that it doesn't matter whether it's a laptop or a desktop. If you disagree, I'd love to hear why it might matter, and I'll be happy to stand corrected.

"Revert to Original" does not work.

I recently upgraded from iPhoto 4 to 5 (5.0.4). While browsing, I decided to revert some edited photos (edited in iPhoto 4) back to their original state by using the "Revert to Original" menu item. I got a confirmation dialog which I clicked "OK". Nothing happened! The "Revert to Original" menu item was not grayed out after this attempt so I repeated the process no to avail. I have verified that the original/unedited file is in the "Original" folder inside the iPhoto Library folder.
I am able to revert to the original if I edit a previously unedited photo in iPhoto 5 for the first time. The problem seems to be limited to just those photos that were originally edited in iPhoto 4 and then converted to the new iPhoto 5 library.
Any ideas?

Mike:
First try manually setting the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder and contents as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
If that doesn't help you can, after making a duplicate copy of your iPhoto Library folder, rebuild the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options but the last one, orphans may bring in those non-recoverable originals as new files. You can select it or not. If you have a large library you might want to to save having to go back and redo in case the first rebuild does not work.

Firefox does not delete the .part file from my download folder after a successful download

First off, I'm on a MacBook Pro, running 10.6.4 and FF3.6.12
I've recently noticed that on occasion Firefox does not seem to delete the .part file associated with a successful download. The .part file (with a name consisting of a string of random characters followed by a .part extension) is visible in my Download folder stack, although not visible in the actual folder view. I cannot drag this file from the stack to the trash.
The real problem stems from the fact that this seems to create a directory error on my hard drive. Were I to run Disk Utility (which I will have to do... again!), it would return with an error saying something like "incorrect block length", requiring me to boot up from my install disk and repair the drive.
Is this maybe a bug? Is there something I might be doing wrong? Could an extension like AdBlock be messing up my downloads?

It seems that FireFox leaves those partial download files if for any reason they get interrupted. It's possible to resume the download through various uninteresting means, but if you're like me, it gets filled up with files that I intentionally did not complete downloading.
If you're terminal-savvy, you can set up a script that cleans up old .part files. Here's what I've set in my crontab:
0 * * * * /usr/bin/find ~/Downloads/*.part -atime +1 -exec rm {} \; &> /dev/null
It will delete any files in my downloads folder that are at least 1 day old.
To install this in your crontab, launch terminal and type "crontab -e"
This will bring up a text editor, probably vi. You'll see a bunch of ~'s down the left side. Type "i" to go into "insert" mode. The bottom left will say "-- INSERT --"
Copy and paste (or type) the line of code I have above.
Hit enter just to make sure you have a newline at the end.
Hit "Escape" to exit the insert mode.
Hit Shift-Z Shift-Z (that's Shift-Z twice) to exit the editor.
You should see a status message "crontab: installing new crontab"
If you type "crontab -l" you should see your newly installed crontab.
At the top of the next hour, any .part files that are more than a day old should be deleted, and this should continue forever.

Time machine takes very long time and does not finish the backup

Hi,
Time machine is unable to backup my 2014 Mackbook Air 128 GB Drive anymore.
I have tried numerously to initiate a backup but it could only backup a very small volume, less than 1KB, then stall for hours without any progress.
I tries to repair my volume, using the Disk Utility, but it still does not backup, except for the 1K progress.
I have noticed that "Spot Light" indexing is also taking forever. It has been indexing for days without any pogress.
What is going on.
What should I do to fix it.
My latest successful backup was on Jul 25.
Please help.
Thanks.

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes.) You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard."
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamp of the last "Starting" message that corresponds to the beginning of an an abnormal backup. Now
CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
