ok, i tried to boot arch back up again, but it doesn't work. I get the grub command and am stuck there. I think my menu.lst isn't quite right

when I connect my iphone to my itunes it says loads of space is being taken up by documents , however i have no documents saved on my phone to my knowledge. how do I find and delete these hidden files ?
I restored the phone so had no apps on it at all and there was still this certain amount of space used up by documents ! I've already had it in to the apple store and they didn't seem to have a clue either ! Ugh ! Wouldn't mind so much if the phone was free with a contract but I actually spent 450 quid buying this phone and it's always full of "nothing" so virtually unusable

I bough a Mac Pro 2010 second hand and deleted all the files without backing up now is asking me for the Apple ID of the person who installed maverick,any ideas
If the Mac's firmware was updated, you can try this Internet Recovery:
Hold down Command + Option + R during restart or bootup; hold until you see a spinning globe (takes up to 10 minutes). Once in the Utilities window, use Disk utility to wipe the drive, then return to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. If that works, the OS will be installed without being tied to an Apple ID.
FWIW, if the firmware was updated, you will not be able to use the Snow leopard disk to install - I just did several tests and it does not work. You can, however, possibly install the SL onto an external drive and then clone it to the internal or (if you have a clone), boot from that and clone it back - I just tested that as well.
If the firmware was not updated, then you can use the SL install disk. -
HELP!! How can I find and delete duplicate mp3 files.
I have a zillion copies of songs and I want to find and delete duplicate mp3 files. I have used MediaRage to find the duplicate files (16 thousand or so) but it can't delete them. It will take a million yrs to delete them manually. Does anyone know a way to do this quickly or a program that will do this for me. I have a 15 in Powerbook with OS 10.5.3
Thanks so much if you can help.This site: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ has hundreds of scripts (small programs that do stuff) for iTunes.
Bound to be something there for you. -

After folling the instructions to clear a -50 error and deleted the .tmp file, I now am getting a -120 error. I can't find instructions to clear this...What next?
Hello jimlcoff,
I found a couple of articles with steps you can take when you are not able to connect to the iTunes Store. I recommend reviewing the following articles:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

ICCID unknown is a critical failure, usually caused by hacking or jailbreaking the phone. It can not be fixed. The phone will need to be replaced.

Storing and deleting time capsule files
After reviewing a number of posts it seems partitioning the time capsule is very difficult at best. If I am using it to back up my computer and wanting to save other files to it, what happens when the disk reaches capacity? Can you delete backup files to make room for other files or will that corrupt the retrieval?
Time Capsule is not intended for partitioning by Apple. If you need additional storage space, an additional HDD is best. However, you can delete back up files, but only do this via the Time Machine interface. Deleting files via Finder is asking for trouble.

Finding and deleting powerbook g4 files from macbook pro
I am finding old powerbook G4 files on my macbook pro and would like to find and delete them. Any suggestions/recommendations on how I can do this?
Go MBP (the best thing it has to offer is a PCI slot that the MacBook doesn't have). If you really need to use FM7, then cut the track on the iMac and import it into the MBP.
As far as Rosetta, it won't open a plug in that isn't the same version (i.e., PPC or Universal Binary) as the host. So if your Logic version is UB, then the plug ins have to be too.
If you can use FM7 in a stand alone mode, then you should be able to use it. I wouldn't recommend it because anything processor intensive tends to run crappy under Rosetta.
Hope that helps.

First read XML file and get tree of entire node then traverse through entire tree and reached at specific point .. Then using DOM parser you can modify ,insert or delete any node ... Please check NODE class of API.. In that varios methods are there.. like removeChild();modifyChild()... After doing proper operation ...again write root node to file using FileWriter..

pllease help MEEEEE!!!!
Did you already empty the Trash in iPhoto and on your Desktop? If not, look, if you can recover them by dragging the photos from the trash.
Otherwise restore the iPhoto Library from your backup.
If your events are not in your latest backup, you might try recovery software. For exaple,
Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/ is pretty good at finding jpegs that are still somewhere as bitpatterns on your system drive. Only recovery software is usually quite expensive, and you have to stop to use your computer immediately, so that nothing will be written to your drive, until you have recovered the missing images.
