What files need to be deleted to start fresh with iCal?

Friends:
What files need to be deleted from places like the library to start with a fresh blank copy of iCal?
Thanks amigos!
Migs

Migs,
Have you tried using the iCal user interface to delete all iCal data?
You can do this by creating a new calendar, and naming the calendar. Name it "Test" for example. Then delete all of the other calendars that exist in the "Calendars" sources pane.
Quit iCal, and remove the com.apple.ical.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder. Also remove the Calendar Cache file from the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder.
Then log out/in or restart, and the only calendar remaining should be the blank "Test" calendar.
;~)

    Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.

    I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
    The latest the hard drive enclosures support the newer serial ata drives. The drive and closure that I list supports only older parallel ata.

  • What files need to be cleaned periodically in Oracle Apps R12 ?

    Hi
    In Oracle Database, periodically we clean alertlog,trace files from bdump,udump,cdump directories and at AIX OS level, /usr/tmp, /var/tmp, /root,we clean .tmp,.log files. Similarly,what files needs to cleaned from Oracle Apps R12 directories periodically to control the harddisk usage?
    Any help is highly appreciated !
    Thanks

    Ateeq,
    Please be careful when following the steps in the note referenced above especially when cleaning the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory, otherwise your instance will not function properly. I believe purging the log files at the application/database tiers is fair enough to reclaim space and should be done on periodic basis.

  • What files need to be on the SD card??

    I had to erase (moved them to my hard disk) the original files on the SD card to update the OS and get my 500 working, which I finally got to work. I then installed maps from the cd to the SD card and copied back the files that were originally on the SD card. Now the unit complains that it can't find an SD with the maps. Can anybody tell me what files need to be in what folders on the SD card?? TIA!!!

    I'm having the exact same problem. Also, because there is an apparent problem with the updater now locking up and crashing, it's even more of a problem. Anyone have a fix on either the 500 not finding the navigator program on the SD because of erasure or the uploader crash issue?
    Thanks

    I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.)  It happens for about 10 of 30/40  files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

    I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

  • Starting over with ical

    I trashed much of my ical folders in an attempt to start anew with ical because it was giving me so much trouble. Now it won't sync with my palm at all. What can I do?

    Hey,
    this was so frustrating- my orginial post was from about a month ago and what i've done since then has worked for me....
    I wound up using google calendar as my "online hub" instead of icloud. I imported my ical calendar and deleted all my duplicates (did not have to retype everything as I thought- just delete). I wiped out my calendars on ipad and Iphone and transfered google calendar in.
    So far everything has been working great, they all sync pretty much instantly and I haven't had any problems. I really wanted to use icloud since it was the new thing and all and you would think would work the best with all these apple products, but it was so buggy and just didn't work for me. I am still using icloud for photo stream.
    Hope this helps..... I wasted so much time trying to figure this out! Good luck!!!
    * Also.... wanted to mention that I'm still using iCal as my calendar- just syncing with google calendar to make everything work right. Didn't know if that was clear.

  • My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

    My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

    There are several nice programs that can help you figure out what's on your computer - OmniDiskSweep, WhatSize, and DaisyDisk are the three I like. If you've had your computer for a while - and especially if this isn't your first Mac and you've been migrating from one computer to another, one of these programs can help you find files you didn't know your computer still had. For example, when I was trying to shed files to fit int a 256GB SSD, I discovered I had nearly 1GB of files in my Application Support folder belonging to programs I no longer used.
    Other than that, your easy choice are music, video, and photos. They tend to be the big files. A movie will generally be at least 1.25GB, for example.

  • What files need to be backed up to make sure film project is safe?

    Editing a feature film using Premiere Pro, Audition, Speedgrade, and possibly After Effects?  My question is what files do I need to backup to make sure the film project is safe in the event that the computer and hard drive both break.  Editing on a computer, with footage stored on external hard drive.  Will use a separate 2nd hard drive for the files to be backed up.
    I know I need to backup the .pproj Premiere pro files backed up.  I know I need to backup the footage shot (both video and audio files) backed up.  I recently learned that I need to backup the files created by Audition, when I send an audio clip from Premiere to Audition and back to Premiere for audio editing.
    So my question is this: what other files need to be backed up?  If I round trip to from Premiere to Speedgrade and back to Premiere, is there a file created that I need to back up?  If I do a round trip from Premiere to After Effects and back to Premiere is there a file that needs to be backed up?  Are there any other files that need to be backed up?
    My goal - back up all files needed, so if I need to resurrect the project after computer and hard drive break, that I will have all files necessary to continue editing, and that no footage, or edits, or color corrections, or audio edits will be lost at all.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey there Matt, nice to "see" you here too!
    I can answer one question directly: when round-tripping PrPro/Sg/PrPro, the only place Sg files "changes" is back in the PrPro project file. Essentially, its designed to function much like perhaps a plug-in "within" PrPro. So that part is one of the nifty things of the Direct-Link PrPro/Sg. Now something I'm curious about in your request is how the other folks with LARGE project back things up whilst working. I know they do not archive the previews & cache, but ... with a large project ... can/does it save time to backup those files also when you do get a crash/corrouption. Is it faster to get back working if you backup the cache/previews?
    You note wondering where to store the outputs of Audition work-sessions. I put them in the "main" projects folder-tree. I know others feel this is "content" and put them in with the video/graphics folder-tree. I started doing it this way, but now ... wonder if the other is "cleaner" though the difference may be more of intellectual curiosity than having any actual affect on diddly. Note, as I've got separate discs for each part of vid work ... programs/system, cache & previews, projects, footage/graphics, renders ... that does influence having separate folder-trees per project on separate drives. If the project & content files are all on one drive, well ... that's simpler to backup/archive.
    Video projects are so space-hogging these days ... "footage" just gets bigger you know! ... and projects more complex. Planning for both in-work backups and continual movement of material from project inception to archiving it off the "working" station is a must, as you are clearly aware. There are many different layouts folks have chosen or simply need to use for their workstation disc layout. This can have some effect on project "stage" planning also.
    For those with a "hot" workstation with say a 4/5 disc RAID system for projects/footage/previews/cache so everything is on one big "system", I suspect everything can just live in appropriate folders under a project name to begin with. Backups and Archiving is pretty simple ... use a good backup program to copy & CHECK the the project master folders with sub-folders to your backup/Archive option/s, then delete off the working system (when Archiving).
    And as noted here, there, and elsewhere ... putting all the "project" files & their assorted bits & pieces in one main folder per project, and then all footage/graphics/etc. "content" material in a joint folder-tree on the drive *that* lives on for working purposes make backing up & archiving/storing things much simpler. I've seen all sorts of things done afterwards but the simplest just seems to be collating the "project" files folders and the "assets" (content) files/folders under a general project name folder

  • What files can be safely deleted?

    I love my 400 MHz TiBook but its 10 GB hard drive is filling up. I have approx. 1.5 GB of free space left. What files that can be safely deleted? Can I delete extraneous printer files, modem files, packages, etc? I use MacJanitor to clean out caches and I don't have any music or photo files that might be causing the bloat. Also, before I delete anything I will back my hard drive up to a FW drive with SuperDuper.

    Hi, Fred. You're wise to be thinking about how little free space you have left now, before the operation of your Powerbook is seriously impaired. But rather than just nibble away at the contents of your drive, which will only buy you a small amount of time before you're back where you started, you should be thinking about replacing your tiny 10GB hard drive with a larger one. You could easily get a 60GB drive for $50 plus the cost of shipping, and installing a drive in a Tibook is very simple — a 20-minute job at the outside. Then you'd just start up from the external FireWire drive on which you've cloned your 10GB drive, and use SuperDuper to clone its contents onto the new drive. The whole drive swap and data transfer, including the original cloning, could probably be accomplished in less than two hours. Then you wouldn't have to worry about hard drive space for a long time to come.

  • Crystal Reports Server XI - what files need to be backed up?

    I don't want to set up a fail over cluster which there seems to be plenty of information on.
    All I want to do is identify what files I need to backup incase I need to do a restore.
    We use Tivoli Storage Manageru2019s backup and recovery solution for backups
    Any help would be appreciated...

    Depends on the complexity of your deployment. Basically, your CMS DB and the FileStore directory are the only objects outside of the application itself that need to be backed up. The CMS DB contains all your security and links to reports, while the FileStore contains all the reports and instances themselves. You want to have the backups of these synchronized, so that you limit the number of report links that point to nothing, or have reports in your FileStore that have no links to them.
    Other than that, if you have made modifications to your deployment to allow for LDAP/AD authentication, modification to server properties to adjust timeouts or orther parameters, etc you should have these documented so that they can be reaccomplished.
    If you have the CMS DB and the FileStore, you can reinstall, point to the CMS DB, point to the FileStore, and be back up and running.
    Those Tivoli backups should not be run on the entire installation volume while the system is up and processing scheduled reports. You will see the backup program report errors, as temp files are being created/destroyed, and executables will be locked. It may still run successfully with errors, but it may also cause issues with the report processing and stability of your system. Depends on how busy it is - it could still run successfully if it's quiet. Recommended best practice is to stop services, backup, start services.

  • WebHelp - What Files Need to be Posted on the Sever

    Hello,
    can anyone tell me what files & folders I need to post to
    the sever to enable my project to run. I have just developed a
    small project and in the folder where it is saved there are two
    folders and 44 other files inc the .xpj file.
    Can you help
    Tony

    Colum & Leon I fear that I have missed a step in the
    process.
    What I have done so far is produced my First Topic (the
    welcome screen) placed three books (one nested inside the other)
    and in the final book added a topic which consists of an Excel
    sheet which has been converted to .html format.
    To ensure that the changes took effect I clicked on the View
    Primary Layout button and I was given the prompt ‘WebHelp
    output is out of date. Would you like to compile before
    running’ I clicked yes. RoboHelp then generated / compiled
    the project and I checked to see that the changes took effect.
    I then went to the relevant folder on the sever and delete
    the previous version and pasted in all the files and folders from
    the ‘development’ folder.
    As you can see I have missed out on the Publish function and
    have also failed to locate it! So that is my first concern.
    When I copied the files I copied ALL the files & folders
    (high level) – to be more precise the [!SkinSubFolder!] &
    [!SSL!] folders and Files.
    Would I be correct in saying that I should have only copied
    the files and folders within the [WebHelp] folder (i.e.
    \!SSL!\WebHelp\) and have the link from the intranet page point to
    my first topic.

  • What files can I safely delete?

    My Premiere Pro CS2 Files are a mess!
    Since I got into HD with my Canon HV20 I've been filling internal and external hard drives like no tomorrow. My TerraByte drives are full. I have thousands of files with extensions like: PRV, CFA, DEK, MACC, XMPSES and more. I don't know what I can delete and what I need to keep, collectively they are taking up an incredible amount of space.
    Right now, I'm really hung up as I'm virtually out of space on one drive and CS2 can't conform (?) or render my movie.
    How do Premiere CS2 users organize their files - what do they keep and for how long?
    Ideas and methods would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If the project is finished and you never need to return to it. Export an uncompressed Master and archive it with the Source files and a .proj file. Use an external drive. (I use a e sata HD docking station for this purpose.)
    Delete everything else.

  • What files need to be saved before a change of HDD?

    Hi all,
    I'm about to change my HDD in my MB pro due to a disk problem.
    I'm wondering what files do I save?  Do I just need to save my those in my ''User'' area?  Or do I need to save more than this?
    Thanks

    When I say ''more than this'' I mean files like Applications, Library, Recent items, System...
    Any help gratefully received.
