Why is there no simple way to delete unused reference pages from multiple FM files?

I have hundreds of files in which some, but not all, of the reference pages are not being used. I don't want to open each file and manually click each page and then delete the pages one by one... what can I do to fix this? I think the files were all created with the same template but ironically the author imported graphics (by reference) onto the reference pages. The path to the referenced graphics (which are located on the reference pages) is invalid, and now all the FM files have errors. I am not a framemaker master, so this may be a simple fix, but I can't figure it out. I tried opening a file (file A) and deleting the unused reference pages. Then I saved it as a new file name (file B) and tried to import the reference pages of "file B" into "file A". This did not work. It just added additional reference pages to file A. I just want to be able to generate a list of reference pages for the files and then only delete the ones that I don't need. Please help. Any suggestions???

IF the imported graphics are still being used, then when you open a file with a "missing" graphic, FM does ask where the missing file(s) is located and will use this information when searching for other missing graphics in other files of book. You could try creating a temporary superbook that contains many of the files and then doing an update. Otherwise, deleting "unused" Reference pages doesn't really gain you anything (and you could potentially mess up some paratags if they are using any of the reference frames on any of those pages).
When you import formats into FM files from another, FM uses and additive model, i.e. identically named objects are replaced and new ones are added. Nothing is removed.

WHY IS THERE NO ESAY WAY TO DELETE EMAILS ON IHONE AND IPAD?

Why is there no esay way to delete emails on ipad and iphone? Why is there no junk mail setting for ipad and iphone? If there is let me know, if not can I make a suggest that it be developed as an APP. Can't believe this opportunity [problem] has not been address before now. Love to hear comments... or is it just me...

To delete emails you just wipe from right to left on a particular email and you will see the delete button. Or you can you the trash icon on the bottom of the emails to delete it.
Two very easy options. Not sure what problem your having.

Is There A Simple Way Of Deleting Invisible Files?

There's an invisible file/folder that I need to delete but don't know how. Instructions about how to do it that I've come across seem rather unclear.

HT3697 Is there a simple way to create a borderless PDF from Keynote.

Is there a simple way to create a "borderless" PDF using Keynote slides?
When I create a PDF, each slide appears separately with a border around it.
I am a relatively new keynote and mac user.
I am using Keynote version 6.2

I got the same result.
I'm trying to create what looks like a single document that viewers can scroll through.
I done quite a bit of checking and it seems that Keynote used to give you the ability to crop the PDF which, if I understand what they are talking about, would make it look like one big document and not a series of slides.
I read about using terminal commands (?) which are way beyond my skill level.
Also, I could buy Adobe Acrobat which, from what I've read, would also work. I'm not fond of making that investment.
Right now, I'm stuck!
I need to create a "long form sales letter" and I'm starting to think that I'm using the wrong program.
Thank you very much for your help and any other suggestions you might have.

Is there a simple way to merge two iTunes libraries from different drives?

I have an iTunes library or, more significantly, an iTunes music folder, on a hard drive I haven't used in a while. I'd like to merge it into the one I'm using now.
Is there an easy way to do this, and what about duplicates and, especially, variant encodings of the same title?

if you're on iTunes 9, the easiest way would be to drag & drop the contents of the (external ?) hard drive into the *automatically add to iTunes* folder inside the iTunes folder of the target machine.
you will have duplicates, which can be deleted later on (or kept and filtered using smart playlists).

Is there an easy way to run an Ajax function from input type=file to test the file name in DB?

I've had the <input type="file"> ... <cffile ...> thing going for a few years now.
There is a database where the uploaded file names are stored once the files are uploaded to the server. It sees things in terms of problems and stores uploaded file name accordingly with the ProbID prepended onto the file name; e.g., MyPicture.jpg would end up in the designated directory and databawe as P416_MyPicture.jpg. This allows user to store pictures with the same name in different problems without a conflict. There has been an issue with certain characters (e.g., spaces, +, #, etc.) causing problems when they are in file names so we have come up with a way using the <cffile ... rename> to replace these chars with _. This means that MyPic+.jpg would end up being P416_MyPic_.jpg.
     This is where the problem appears. If someone were to upload MyPic+.jpg after someone else uploaded MyPic_.jpg in the same problem, then the + file would overwrite the _ file before the system knew they had a problem. And there is now way to restore the original file without going to the system backup and doing so – which is a whole other story … especially, if the person doesn’t tell anyone.
     The logical solution would be to be able to test the new final file name (the name after making the substitutions mentioned above) against the existing files in the database before you went from the page where the <input type=file> control to the associated _action.cfm page where the <cffile> object is located. Given that this seems to be the province of Ajax, this would seem like a natural use of the really interesting technology. I have can determine the file name from the onChange action on the <input type=File> so that this would be the place for Ajax to come to the rescue by looking up the final file name and then letting the user know whether the resultant name is a unique within the database or not. If so, I'll just enable the Add button which sets right next to the <input > control and let them upload it. If not, I'll put up an error message telling them that this file already exists in the system.
     This would be the perfect solution. It would let me do some Ajax stuff like I've wanted to do for the past year, but never have had the time to do because this is the project that won't go away. This is, in fact, the last thing of any consequence that remains to do on this 2-1/2 year nightmare – be careful what you wish for. If I can get this done this week, then maybe I can finally take a weekend off … maybe it will finally come to an end.
     Which finally leads to my question: I'm looking for some tips on how to get this thing going since I can barely spell Ajax. I've got a book and looked at some stuff online about CF and Ajax, but a good example or two or three would be worth a day's worth of poking around on the web and in my books.
     Thanks in advance for any suggestions, ideas, help, whatever.

Adam,
     Thank you for your suggestion, but, after spending the night working with Ben Forta's CF8, vol 2, Chap 34, working with <cfajaxproxy>, I was able to do exactly what I wanted and it appears, after some testing, to work exactly as I had envisoned it should.
     I am now calling a JavaScript function (testFileName) from the onChage event on the <input type="file"> or Browse button, which calls my proxy.cfc that contains the server side of the equation. This funciton testFileName (I've run out of cleaver function/file names). The query contained therein hits the database to see if the passed in parameters can pull up an existing file. If they do, the particulars (file name, data attahced, etc.) are returned to the JavaScipt procedure that puts up the error notice. The user can then chose to either overwrite the file or quit. Quiting leaves the your on the Attachment PopUp where he/she started with nothing being uploaded.
     Thanks again for your suggestion. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

One way: set them as jobs and assign the same schedule or start them from a stored procedure:

Is there a simpler way of erasing all the music from my iphone other than erasing all data and content?

Having issues with the music player on my iphone 5, i have restored it but want to erase all my music off my iphone and start again from scratch, how do i do this without erasing all the content off my phone?

Launch iTunes and plug you device into your computer. Select your device from the menu on the left and then in the window that opens select the Music Tab at the top. In the window that opens uncheck the Sync Music checkbox and then click Sync button in the low right side of iTunes. After the sync is complete your music will no longer be on the device.
Hope that helps.

Is there really no way to delete a profile from my macbook pro?

I got a new macbook pro recently. I was planning to move data from my old mac but couldn't resist to turn it on right away. In doing this I ended up having to set the profile up on my new mac. One step in this process is to move data from a different mac. Since I hadn't read up on the details of this step yet I chose to skip it. When I finally was ready to move the data from my old mac I was forced to create a another new profile.
I now have two profiles on my new mac and I'm desperate in trying to figure out how I can remove the old profile.
Is there really no way to delete an existing profile from my mac?

r_hqt,
the way to delete a user account is to log in as the administrative user which you wish to keep, and open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner of the System Preferences window is locked, click on the padlock to unlock it (by giving it your administrative user’s password). Select the user account that you would like to delete, and press the “-” button at the bottom of the list of user accounts. Relock the padlock if desired, and exit System Preferences.

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

HT4589 Is there a recomended way to delete proxy and optimized clips once a project is completed and is ready for archive? also, can proxy and optimized clips be removed (to save space) once a project is ready for color correction and the original clips a

Is there a recomended way to delete proxy and optimized clips once a project is completed and is ready for archive? also, can proxy and optimized clips be removed (to save space) once a project is ready for color correction and the original clips are used

No, they are NOT the same as proxy or optimized.
When you add a clip to your timeline and, say, apply an effect to it, or superimpose a title on the clip, FCP X has to make many calculations to determine what color each pixel of each frame should be. If a section of your timeline is not rendered, it has to do all these calculations every time you play those frames. A render file has the frames already "calculated", so it plays fast and smoothly.
For simple compositions and a fast computer, you may avoid rendering completely - and you may also choose to only render the portions where playback stutters.
Render files can be safely deleted. FCP X can recreate them if needed (either automatically if you have "background render" on, or on demand, when you select the "render" or "render all" commands).

There is currently no way to merge accounts. The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.

Well, it is not really simple. But there are Open Source components to simplify it for you. See e.g http://www.must.de/Jacompe.htm - de.must.dataobj.DataObject and its subclasses. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions: [email protected]
