How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?

Apparently my hard drive is full and I need to remove files so I have space to download more music and movies. I don't want to delete important files. How do I go about doing this?

How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?
Remove only files you yourself stored on the laptop; files in your Home folder. Don't delete any files from the system libraries, and if you want to remove applications, use the provided uninstallers.
For files in the media libraries - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie use the application to delete music, photos, movies.
If you are planning on storing more movies and music on your mac, deleting old files will probably not suffice alone to free enough space. Consider to get yourself an external drive to store your media.

As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
Any luck?

What if i removed itunes from my pc, would i delete all my songs??

What if i removed itunes from my pc, would i delete all my songs??

Normally no, removing iTunes does not normally delete the track files themselves. That said, it would be wise to make a backup of any tracks you've purchased from the iTunes Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, just in case something goes wrong.

Does the IHandy flashlight app contain malware? ? If so what are the removal steps to insure the malware is removed??

Does the anyone know if the IHandy flashlight app contain malware?? If so what are the removal steps to insure the malware is removed??

There is no malware that can affect an iPhone unless it's been jailbroken.
Some apps request to do things, like access your location or contacts, and can continue to do so in the background. If this app requested permission for either of these things, you should delete it. A flashlight app has no need for such information.

Right-click or control-click the line and select

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

What is the best way to be sure that there is no virus

Hi guys,
thanks for your responds,
I believe my laptop has a virus or spyware. It is slow and take ages to comes up. Also during using internet exploring it is very slow in internet browsing.
During use of msn chat voice sometime it freeze.
What is the best way to be sure that there is no virus.
I already have Norton 2007 with the latest update.
thanks

Hi
> What is the best way to be sure that there is no virus?
The best way is to use an Antivirus application and some Anti malware and Trojan applications.
You use already the Norton Antivirus program. This is great. Be sure that this application is always up-to-date.
Additional you could install Adaware. This is freeware tool and it scans your OS for malware.
But the virus or malware is not always a reason for an OS freezing.
Please check your processes which are running in the OS background. You can use additionally the application called CClean.
It scans you OS for troubles and repair the registry.
Maybe it helps

What does the "remove option : press C" do in IMG 1.9?

I've noticed that you can press the "c" button to remove the option of a program in IMG 1.9.
What does it do? I don't see anything happening.
Is there a IMG 1.9 guide online somewhere? IMG 1.9 seems to have new features, and I'd like to have a better idea of what they are.
Solved!

What's with removing the reviewer's option to view in cloud?

We've come to count on sending files for shared review in the Acrobat.com cloud system. There's been an abrupt change in the automated file handling for shared reveiw that is creating confusion and aggrivating connectivity problems. Now, when I send a file out for shared review, the viewer is welcomed with a screen that only has the "Download" button showing. The "Open" button is no longer available. Usually reviewers go directly to the cloud pdf to make edits and publish. The reviewers only download to their desktop at the end of reviewing/commenting, and just as an option.
This has created a problem of lost comments because of connectivity errors when the reviewers try to publish comments from the pdf that was saved to their desktop.
Is the removal of the "open" button -- which goes directly to the cloud something done deliberately and we weren't notified? What can we do to get it back?
Do other's have the connectivity problems? This new requirement to work from the desktop .pdf has meant some comments won't be published!
Please advise.
Thanks!
Nancy Crowe

I am having the same issue. I have used this feature in the past with no trouble and now my reviewers do not have the Publish Comments as an option. I am in a panic! How can we get the Publish Comments feature back to my reviewers?

Alternate data stream (ADS) removal does not update file time stamp.

Hello,
I am using standard CL program stream.exe to operate ads on file.
If I add ADS to file, file data\time will be changed.
F:\>dir
07/23/2014 06:43 PM            32,768 test.txt
F:\>stream cr test.txt:0 important_info
SUCCESSFUL: tf1.txt:0 is created.
RC = 0
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
If I remove ADS from file, file data\time will be unchanged.
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
F:\>stream de tf1.txt:0
SUCCESSFUL: tf1.txt:0 is deleted.
RC = 0
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
Is it a normal behavior? I suspect a defect in stream.exe.

Hi,
This depends on that if the stream.exe contains the related code like SetFileTime when play the deleting action.
SetFileTime function
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724933(v=vs.85).aspx
So we may need your resource code about de of stream.exe to determine the issue.

What are ADS that appear on my LG Cosmos and how do I stop them?

I have the same problem with an LG COSMOS. I get the slide-over ads on the bottom third of the screen which have to be handled before I can place a call. This is especially annoying when driving & I'm not supposed to do any hands-on with a phone. This has GOT to be able to be stopped!
If I were in an emergency and I was placing a call and one of these ads came up I'd have to spend about 30+ seconds handling the ad before I could call 911. Where is the logic here? Calls should take presidence over ads!

Thanks, I found the same advice the same day on a forum. It worked fine & now I have no "Ads" or scoops.
My suggestion to Verizon & LG is to make the scoops secondary and make calls primary. Right now if one selects these scoops one has to handle them before being able to place a call, while on the road & not allowed (illegal) to touch the phone it is impossible to place a call if a scoop has come in & needs to be handled.
This makes the user feel the phone has an agenda of its own & to H with the user. All devices should allow the user to select what will and will not be done and when. I should, in a perfect world, be able to select the scoops I want to see and then desi
gnate the order of precedence so I can have placing & receiving calls above reading scoops.
IMHO,

IPod video... what can safely remove surface scratches?

Ok, I know this is a really stupid question, but I just paid $400.00 for a 60 gig iPod video and the slipcover they gave me w/ the iPod has really scratched up my iPod. What can I use on the iPod that will safely remove the surface scratches?
Another thing... what does the "i" in iPod mean? It's driving me nuts.
Thanks for the help.

60 GB iPod w/ video Windows XP

the slipcover they gave me w/ the iPod has really
scratched up my iPod.
Actually, it didn't. The slip case is as smooth as a newborn baby's face. What happened to you will happen with any case or even with your fingers.
Dirt can get between anything and your ipod and cause scratches. When you pull your iPod in and out of the slip case, don't grab it from the back and front. Hold it from the metal sides always. The same goes for any case at all.
Even when you handle it with your hands, don't rub it hard because any dirt on your hands will scratch it.
None of this is even unique to the iPod. I holds true for anything shiny, including Sony's Walkman and my silver cigarette case!
