How do I search paragraphs of a text document using automator and then have the search results deleted from the text document after those search results are exported to a textedit document?

I used time machine to restore on a formatted MAC. Now the HDD space has reduced by 100GB but I cannot see any of the files. How do I find and delete those 100GB data from the HDD?

Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

Hi,
I would suggest you to uninstall Adobe Reader using the cleaner tool and then re-install the latest version.
Adobe Cleaner Tool:- Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs.
Latest version of Adobe Reader:- http://get.adobe.com/reader/
If you still experience the same issue, please share the following information:-

Delete the reporting results from the workbook

Hi,
How telete the reporting results from the workbook via the BEX menu functionality

That functionality is not available in the Bex 7 Analyzer, just in the Bex 3.x functionality. To delete workbook results, we simply select the rows of data (but NOT the titles) and delete the rows in excel. Then save the workbook.
If you delete the titles you will delete the analysis grid, and you will have to recreate it.
You can also change the variable values, click "Cancel" and the workbook then shows no results for any query related field. However, this includes the navigation panes and text elements, which produces a rather blank looking workbook.

Know anything about an E-Book credit: specifically, "The credit results from the Settlements reached with publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon

Know anything about an E-book class action credit? specifically... "The credit results from the Settlements reached with publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Penguin in antitrust lawsuits filed by State Attorneys General and Class Plaintiffs about the price of electronic books ("E-books"). Apple Inc. is not a party in these settlements."

The information supplied by 8802 is correct.
For those who have not received the e-mail from E-Book AG Settlement Administrator, here is something to check.
The e-mail I have associated with my iBookd (iTunes) account has a "Moderate" spam blocker on it.
My son called and asked if I had received my credit, as he had. He advised he found it in his "Known spam" file.
I checked my account and it was not in the spam folder, why it should have been is beyond me. For the heck of it I checked the "Known spam" file. There it was, received on 26th. Thank goodness I didn't have the account set to automatically delete known spam, or it would have been gone. If I hadn't have checked it would have been purged automatically in 15 days.
There is no logical reason for this e-mail to have been considered as "Known spam", but there it was.
Possibly Apple wanted to comply with notifying those affected in the case, but was hoping many wouldn't find the authorization for rebate in time. Something to consider.

Using Automator and Applescript to search and move files to flash drive

I've used applescript and automator to do simple tasks like watch folders and move files and rename files, but that is about the extent. I am wondering if it is possible to set up a automator service or app that will do several things.
When a flash drive is plugged it, it will ask for a file to be searched for, then it will search a predetermined directory for files with the word or number in them and then it will copy the found files to the mounted flash drive.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks!

As a start, you can use launchd to run a script when a volume is mounted:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.tonyt.LaunchOnVolMount</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>LaunchOnVolMount.sh</string>
          </array>
          <key>QueueDirectories</key>
          <array/>
          <key>StartOnMount</key>
          <true/>
          <key>WatchPaths</key>
          <array/>
</dict>
</plist>
You can then have the LaunchOnVolMount.sh script perform the tasks you need.
You can incorporate Applescript within the Bash script with osascript:
#!/bin/bash
answer=$( osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "What file do you want to search for?" default answer "" ' )
echo $answer
I beleive that you can also call an Applescript from launchd

I have just downloaded a free app and there is no icon and it will not open from the list even tho it appears to have downloaded and the "open" button is available. Does not show up when I search for it. Plenty of memory . . .

I Have an iPad mini running iOS 7.1.2, I downloaded a new app and it's icon does not appear anywhere ( have ~ 180 apps so not at limit) and it won't open from the purchased apps list. It does not show up when I search for it so can't open t that way either. It doesn't require iOS 8. Can't delete and reinstall, cause not icon. This is not a normal "app won't open" question. it doesn't start the. Stop it just doesn't seem to exist. Any help is appreciated

Using automator to delete files with out moving them to the trash

My boss and I work for a school district and we have been fight the ever losing battle of keeping kids from using usb drives and ipods on the computers. We have it fixed on the server accounts so they can't. But the local accounts they can do as they please. So we have found the files that we need to remove Example ( IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext, IPodDriver.kext, ITunesPhoneDriver.kext ) I have tried to use automator to delete these files by creating an application. Well it can't remove them because its need sudo access. So no im trying to figure out how to create a apple script to do so. I know once the files are removed the machines needs to restarted. So im not sure how to include a restart command too.
Any help on how to get this working would greatly appreciated. We have over a 600 machines to do this to. I know that there maybe mixed feeling about removing these functions but we have to fallow our board digital computer policy Primarily ever since the RIAA has been cracking down.

Hi Northridge, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd use the Terminal...
In Terminal type man mv & man reboot
You can execute those commands preceded by sudo, like...
sudo mv /Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext /Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext.old
This one just renames it, but you could move it wherever you want.

Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

If I am using pages and deleted my page by mistake how do I go back? I have not saved or deleted the page.

You have deleted your page, but you have not deleted your page?
Which is it?
If you never saved it it is gone. If you saved it in Lion (OSX 10.7) with Pages 09 v4.1, there should be versions available when you mouse overv the document name at the top of the window.

I have an iphone 4 and iphone 5 and i set up the iphone 5 using the icloud backup from the iphone 4 and i forgot to disconnect the icloud before i deleted the contacts on the iphone 4 which then deleted them from the iphone 5 is there anyway of restoring

I have an iphone 4 and iphone 5 and i have set up the 5 with a backup from the icloud. But i didn't disconnect the old phone (iphone 4) form the icloud and deleted some contacts which also deleted them from the 5. I have restored them from a previous back up but after i did that i deleted the iphone 4 from the icloud which also deleted the conatcts from the 5 again as i didnt back up. Is there anyway of restoring the conatcts now?

If you still have the same back up you can restore from back up again. Unfortunately you will have to do something fast and unusual in the process of restore. As soon as you have access to your phone - you need to go to settings - icloud and turn off your contacts sync. You need to do that fast enough so your icloud will not have time to sync "0" contacts back to the phone. That way when your restore is completed you get your contacts. You will have less then 1 minute to complete what I told you. If the contacts are gone anyway, either you were not fast enough, or your back up was overwritten already.

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

How can I access the Attribute Values from the Search Region

Hi all,
I have a table which contains Company id, department id, and PositonId. For a particular Company and Department there may be multiple records.
I have to pupulate a table which contains the position and other details that comes under a particular Department and Position based on the selection in the Three comboBoxes.
Also I have to populate a select many Shuttle to add new postions and records under a particular Department.
I created a query panel *(Search Region)* for the serch and a table to display the data. That is working fine.
Now the issue is I am using a view criteria to populate the shuttle with two bind variables ie, DepartmentId and CompanyId.
If the serach will return a resuktant set in the table it will also pupulate the correct records, otherwise ie, if the if the serch result is empty the corresponding iterator and the attribute is setting as null.
SO I want to access the attribute values from the Search Region itsef to populate the shuttle.
I don't know how can I access the data from the Search Region.
Please Help.
Regards,
Ranjith

you could access the parameters entered in search region by the user as follows:
You can get handle to the value entered by the user using queryListener method in af:query.
You can intercept the values entered as described
public void onQueryList(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
// The generated QueryListener replaced by this method
//#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}
QueryDescriptor qdes = queryEvent.getDescriptor();
//get the name of the QueryCriteria
System.out.println("NAME "+qdes.getName());
List<Criterion> searchList = qdes.getConjunctionCriterion().getCriterionList();
for ( Criterion c : searchList) {
if (c instanceof AttributeCriterion ) {
AttributeCriterion a = (AttributeCriterion) c;
a.getValues();
for ( Object o : a.getValues()){
System.out.println(o.toString());
//call default Query Event
invokeQueryEventMethodExpression("#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}",queryEvent);
public void onQueryTable(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
// The generated QueryListener replaced by this method
//#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}
QueryDescriptor qdes = queryEvent.getDescriptor();
//get the name of the QueryCriteria
System.out.println("NAME "+qdes.getName());
invokeQueryEventMethodExpression("#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}",queryEvent);
private void invokeQueryEventMethodExpression(String expression, QueryEvent queryEvent){
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ELContext elctx = fctx.getELContext();
ExpressionFactory efactory = fctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
MethodExpression me = efactory.createMethodExpression(elctx,expression, Object.class, new Class[]{QueryEvent.class});
me.invoke(elctx, new Object[]{queryEvent});
Thanks,
