Which archivelog files can be safely removed from OS

Hi,
I didn't used "delete input" option when backup the archivelog files. So all archivelog files still remain on the file system. How can I identily which archivelog files I can delete using the command
"RMAN>change archivelog '/u04/arch/arch_xxx.arc' delete; "
where xxx is the seq I need to make sure it's safe to be removed.
I need to make sure "restore archivelog all validate" command will still report successful afterward. The total size of archivelog files is over 20GB and I'm running out of space now. Thanks.

The only way to delete your archlog is do not do a cross check archivelog all. Bec that will invalidate your archlogs. We have a rentetion of 28 days and we dlete archlogs after everybackup using delete input. While doing cross check we use "cross check completed before 'xxx'" and then it still keeps active in repo.

What can I safely remove from main Library

Hi there,
My MacBook Pro has a SSD drive which is almost full.
I use it for music (Logic Pro) images (Aperture) and movies (FCP)
I want to know what items I can safely delete from the main Libraries to free up disc space
Thanks
Sam

I'm going to say "Nothing".
OS X standard install in total is around 10GB. In addition to that, all the Logic samples and loops, which I guess you want to keep, are going to be a good few gigs.
After that, it's your documents.

I am getting a message that my startup disk is full, what files can be safely removed to open up space or can I use an external HD for my startup disk?

Converted a FCP X movie into a quicktime .mov file and tried to burn to DVD, message came up that I needed 26.8 GB to burn this movie. I am not sure how I used so much memory. I was not creating Blu-ray movie just a standard DVD. Anyone have any suggestions for what I did to creat such a large file?

It needs free unfragmented space on your boot drive.
So just what and how large and how full is it?
And it isn't 'memory' (ie, RAM), storage is never referred to as memory.
Your system is likely running something later than the 10.6.6 shown.
Clone your system to another hard drive adn then try, or clean it up after backing up with CCC
While at it, move all your home data and media folders off the boot drive (leave a mini ~/Library only)
System
Media and data folders and libraries
scratch
projects
backup partition(s)
etc
more efficient and runs better.
never let the system drive get to less than 30% free, even more.

User has a "startup on login" pref that opens a file named "apple-scc-20111227-074257". Can't find any reference to this....any idea on what this startup file does or if it can be safely removed as a login-startup item? thanks.

Friend has a laptop running OSX 10.6.8, with latest software update 22Jun2012. One of the User's items to startup on Login is a file titled "
apple-scc-20111227-074257"
No idea what this does or where it is located.....any ideas on what it starts up and if it can be safely removed from startup items? Thanks for any info.

If you mouse over the item in your Login Items you should see a tool tip indicating where it is. Alternatively right (control) click on it and a contextual menu item, Reveal in Finder will be shown which you can select to open the folder containing the item.
By the way the 20111227 portion of that name looks like a date -- 12/27/2011.
I'm sure you can delete it. Nothing major is going to happen. But you really should find out where it is.
If Reveal in Finder doesn't show anything it may be because the file is invisible (which might be considered somewhat suspicious). In that case use the finder find command (command-f) and look for kind filename plus invisible. Or just use Find any File to find it.

Why has PocketMoney by Catamount (which I purchased in 2011) been removed from app store?

Why has PocketMoney by Catamount (which I purchased in 2011) been removed from app store?

Catamount software was a one-person company, run by Hardy Marcia. Sadly, he died at a young age in 2013, here is his obituary: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/concordmonitor/obituary.aspx?n=harland-arthur-m acia-hardy&pid=165055870. He was a great app developer.
I have extensively searched for and tried practically every money management app out there to replace it. I had major problems with PocketMoney & iOS 8, but subsequent updates to 8 have corrected that. I only experience a crash when switching accounts, which I have come to expect. I even bought a high-end version of Quicken only to abandon it, and its companion iOS app. Quicken does things its own way and you waste too much time trying to get data imported and usable the way you want it.
I still use PocketMoney every day, but also use MoneyWiz by Silerwiz. I was a beta tester for their upcoming V2. There are still a lot of things that only PocketMoney has, like classes and posting future transactions in gray so you will see your cash flow (mine is set for 61 days out), and syncing between devices with images included. However, the company behind MoneyWiz takes their product very seriously and I think it will be around for a long time. Eventually an iOS update will make PocketMoney unusable. If you can get your data out of PocketMoney, MoneyWiz has instructions for importing the data and it comes over very well.
I keep hoping a software company will see the value of PocketMoney, buy it and bring it back. My guess is that Catamount is technically owned by his estate, and would be of value to his family to sell.
The best advice is to backup frequently with the iTunes desktop software. I trust a wired connection more than than WiFi.

How do I recover a file of images I removed from LR 4.3 that is not found in my desktop recycle bin?

How do I recover a file of images I removed from LR 4.3 that is not found in my desktop recycle bin?

I would try the following, in order
Have your operating system search your entire hard disk(s)
If that doesn't find the files, restore from backup
If you don't have backups then perhaps you should consider making backups of both your catalog file and your photos from now on
Locate, download and install and run an "undelete utility" (freeware versions are available) -- if you are going to do this, do it immediately, do not perform other tasks on your comptuer

If I convert a PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file

If I convert PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file?

Hi sutterrot,
After a successful conversion from PDF to Word, you need to download the converted file locally on your computer.
You can then choose 'Enable Editing' button and then delete images/text or make other changes.

Which log file can be removed safely?

The directory /private/var/log uses about 4.5 Gig of disk space, about half of which is used by /private/var/log/asl.
My question now is: which of these can I delete?
I assume, I can't delete the files *.log.
But what about *.log.bz2 - they should be OK to delete, shouldn't they?
And what about the files in /private/var/log/asl ?
Thanks a lot in advance for all insights.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Yes, indeed, I always put my laptop to sleep during the night.
Is there any way I can make these scripts also run, say, once a week during the day?
Best regards,
Gabriel.
You're welcome. If the computer is not shut down, they are set to run in the middle of the night, or when the computer next wakes up. It's really easy to run the scripts in Terminal. Look in Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) for that runaway process.

Which files can I safely delete in my Pictures Folder/ iPhoto Library

Hello
Thanks in advance for any advice on the following. I am trying to free up some space on my Macbook Pro hard drive. In the Pictures/ iPhoto Library folder, I seem to have a lot of duplicates. At this folder level, I have series of sub folders with years 2002-2006 listed, and there is also a folder titled data, which also has subfolders 2002-2006. Can I safely delete one set of folders without losing my pictures?
Thank you
Jonathan

Johnathan:
In a word, NONE. Those are all necessary item for the operation of the library. Those files in the Originals folder are obviously the originals. Those in the Data folder are the thumbnails iPhoto uses to display in the main library window. The Modified files are those that you've editied, rotated, etc. To do any moving, renaming or editing of files directly from the folder is tantamount to committing the cardinal sin of iPhoto: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
What with the low cost of external FW HDs, they are a very cost effective way to protect and preserve important files. As you may know it's recommended to have a minimum of 10G free space for optimum performance of the system and applications. More if possible. You can use Monolingual to remove any language module you don't need (be sure not to select English or American English and DO NOT run any of the Architecture items). I saved nearly 900MB the first time I ran it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can i "Safely Remove" My Passport Ultra from my PC?

I can't EVER "Safely Remove" my My Passport Ultra drive from my PC!
The computer's an HP notebook (if that matters), and it's running Vista (64bit).
I can't believe that there's NO way to eject / unmount / "Safely Remove" the drive from my computer when i need to disconnect it from the port!
But i can't find any way to do it, other than shutting down the system entirely. Obviously, shutting down every time i want to unplug the drive is so RIDICULOUSLY impractical, i can't even consider it as an option.
The "Knowledge Base" pages don't seem particularly knowledgeable on the subject.
The only suggestions offereed there are to close any applications that are acccessing thedrive, including the Windows indexer and any virus/spyware programs that might be running.
Obviously I've already done that. I've set the drive to never be idexed or scanned/monitored for viruses and spyware.
And yet still, every time i try to eject the drive, it's the same message:
"Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device"
"Windows can't stop your 'Generic volume' device because it is in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again later."
Sometimes, even after i manually end the WD software via the Windows services menu, they just start back up again a few seconds later (even though i set them in the services menu to only be launched manually).
But the rest of the time, even when none of the WD software is running, Windows still tells me the drive is in use and won't let me eject it.
There's GOTTA be a way around this.
I've never had this problem with any OTHER external drive.
I'm still waiting for a reply to the Support Case i submited yesterday, but i'm getting impatient.
Does anybody else know any solutions to this problem? I can't be the only one stumped by it...

Update:
I think I finally solved the problem (no thanks to WD...).
I had already excluded the My Passport Drive from being indexed by the Windows Indexer.
And from being scanned or protected by antivirus software.
And from being monitored by Windows Defender.
What i didn't realize is that the WD Smartware software and the other WD applications were running automatically at startup, whether or not the drive was connected.
And so even if i closed them manually, they relaunched automatically in the background again.
Finally, i used a third-party program to remove all the WD applications and services from the startup and autorun lists on my computer.
This seems to be working so far.
I've been able to connect the drive, manually run the WD Smartware application, perform a backup, and close WD Smartware again. And then Windows allows me to "Safely Remove" (eject) the drive without any problems. I've gotta say that it makes no sense for WD's software to be ser up to run automatically, but that's the way it was set up by default when i installed it. Maybe it would make sense if WD expected its users to leave it connected and running all the time, but this is a PORTABLE drive. Leave it connected and constantly running in the background would defeat the purpose of being "portable" entirely, wouldn't it?

Windows 7 doesn't release USB stick - can't safely remove USB stick

Sometimes when I'm trying to safely remove an USB stick formatted with NTFS from any Windows 7 installation, Windows 7 refuses to release the USB device.
This occurs on host machines as well as on VM guest machines. When I'm attaching the USB stick to a virtual machine (VMware Workstation) and when this effect occurs in there I can see from Workstation's device manager that the USB stick is getting accessed
once every (approx.) five seconds. The USB stick shortly flashes up accordingly then, so there is indeed some access to the USB stick.
Now, this doesn't happen all the time. This effect only occurs, say once or twice a week.
Waiting for 5 to 10 Minutes, the low-frequent regular short flashing finally stops and I can safely remove my USB stick then.
Well, what I want to know: Which Windows service is sometimes accessing my USB stick in this manner?
This happens on several machines, some of them having almost no software installed.
When exploring the file handles with SysInternals Process Explorer, there's only a Windows Explorer handle attached to the USB device.
I suspect it might either be Windows Defender (having Search Removable Devices enabled), Windows Search or Windows Defragment. But this is only a guess.
Can anyone please enlighten me on which service is capturing my USB device for such a long time, keeping me from safely removing the USB device?

Hi,
We can use USB parser in WDK8 or 8.1.
To install USB ETW parsers:
1.Determine whether you have 32-bit Windows or 64-bit Windows: ◦Open the Start Menu.
◦Right click Computer and select Properties.
◦Look at the System type field. (Note: 32-bit corresponds to “x86” for the downloads).
2.Install Netmon:
◦Go to the bottom of the Quick details on the Netmon 3.4 download page and press the Download button for your system type.
◦Download and run the exe. When it asks about setup type, Typical is fine.
3.Download and install the Windows Driver Kit for Windows 8.
4.Allow execution of PowerShell scripts:
◦Open the Start screen, type "powershell", right click on the Windows PowerShell result, and select Run as administrator.
◦Type or paste the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force
4.Close the PowerShell window
5.Open a PowerShell window (you don't need to Run as administrator) and run the following commands. Adjust the path if you installed the kit to a different location:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Tools\x86\Network Monitor Parsers\usb"
..\NplAutoProfile.ps1
Now you're set up! You can now launch Netmon and open an .etl trace by selecting File -> Open -> Capture.
You can also use OneDrive to upload the trace file in forum so that we can help you analyze your problem.

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.
