Deleting all the blocks of text hidden unexpectedly removes blocks of text embedded (but visible). Why?

Hi Naomi,

and there is an array of arrays with:

myDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers

Try this:

var a = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().textContainers;
for(var n=0;n
I suggest the following, which should work:
var doc = app.documents[0];
var myStoriesArray = doc.stories.everyItem().getElements();
var storiesLength = myStoriesArray.length;

var textContainersToRemoveIDs = [];

for(var n=0;n

How to delete all the phone numbers in the blocked list?
 
			 
How can I delete all the phone numbers in the blocked list?
I want to delete a large number of blocked number, but now I can't remove the numbers blocked by one, are there ways to eliminate several numbers or the complete list at the same time?
Thank you!
			 
No sorry. The fastest method seems to be to go to settings > phone > blocked (or settings > Messages > blocked) and select the editing mode. You could make a suggestion to Apple that offer more options: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Heights of game for all the blocks of text in a document
 
			 
Looking to do something seemingly simple. I want all the blocks of text in my document to the same height.
Here's where I am.
app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem () .height = "2.3195 in."
Note: I work in InDesign CS5.
Any help on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.
			 
Or, in the CS6 and later*:
var NEW_HEIGHT = '2.3195 in';

// MULTIPLE RESIZE() IN ONE STEP
// =============================
app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().resize(

    // Target bounding box(es) -- Use OUTER_STROKE_BOUNDS if needed
    // ---
    [CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, BoundingBoxLimits.GEOMETRIC_PATH_BOUNDS],

    // Reference point -- Here resize is performed relative to the top edge
    // ---
    AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR,

    // Absolute replacement
    // ---
    ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,

    // [width, height] in points
    // ---
    [ResizeConstraints.KEEP_CURRENT_VALUE, +UnitValue(NEW_HEIGHT).as('pt')]
    );

* Can operate CS5. x too, but I think remember that CS4 has a bug where resize() is a plural specifier whose receptors belong to several blocks spread.

by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers
 
			 
I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.
the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)
If (app.documents.length > 0) {}
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var numTextFrames = 0;
for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}
textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];
textArtRange.selected = true;
}
}
So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.
var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;
var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;
for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)
{
currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];
If (currentLayer.visible == visible)
{
for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}
textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];
textArtRange.selected = true;
}
}
}
can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?
Thank you
Duane
			 
Try this:
if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var numTextFrames = 0;
    for (  i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
        try {
        textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
        textArtRange.selected = true;
        } catch (e) {}
        }
    }

I deleted all THE files of rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB drive. Total area of libraries: 650 GB still Get Info says I use 2 100 GB! Any ideas? Thank you.
 
			 
I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.
I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.
I use an iMac 27 "with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB of memory, NVIDIA GeForce 1024 MB graphics, OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, FCPX 10.2.2 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external hard drive designed for Mac and format Mac OS extended (Journal)

What I have to delete all the emails by hand or I can delete them all at the same time?
 
			 
How do delet all the emails at once?
			 
You can delete several at once. Press the button "Edit" in the mailbox, select e-mail then press on "trash".
they must be selected one by one, there is no "select all" I remember
If you have a lot to remove you may wish to do so outside the mail application. If your email provider has a web interface, use it. For example, I have yahoo mail, I use safari to go to yahoo.com and connect to my mail. then I will be able to select many emails at once (or maybe if your email provider supply)
Can be faster if you have dozens, hundreds of delete

You must wipe the drive and reinstall OS X. In the future, you need to stay away from the data in the system until you know what it is and the consequences of the removal.
Install or reinstall OS X from scratch
Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.
HD recovery start:
Restart the computer after the ring, press in and hold the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen to appear.
Erase the drive:
1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.
2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the
list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.
3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click
Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click
the clear button and wait until the process is complete.
4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.
Note :  You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it.

Hi andypily1,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.
Try the steps one by one and check below.
STEP 1:

    How do I add or remove games in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307768

     

    
STEP 2:
In most cases if the games are deleted from the computer files will remain on the computer.
I suggest that you are looking for game files in the system32 folder.
Later, click on Start menu click on run and type c:\\windows\system32 in the following search of the window for the file of games like free cell. If you get the files in the system32 folder then copy the file to c:\\program files\start menu\ later in the game folder.
STEP 3:
If fails it above steps, try a system restore to the point when the game was available on the computer.

     
See the link below to learn how to perform the system restore.
