• How can I empty trash 'Genius '?

  10.7.5, old 32-bit Macbook Pro OSX.

  The Genius bar went yesterday to resolve a problem.  During which, the genius deleted all my music, photos and movies by being connected with a disc of Triage and the magic Apple Genius ID.  He stopped at the command "Empty trash" because he took long (approx. 300 GB of data).  Now, my drive is missing that much space.

  Any ideas how can I empty the Recycle Bin or restore these files?  (Short to return to the Apple store?)

  Thanks in advance...

  You have a backup, if so what kind? It may be interesting to restore if you have a recent backup. Otherwise I would like to backup now if you have a spare drive to use-

  even in this State. At least you have a copy if it fails to restore the Recycle Bin.

  Have what problem you tried to bring to the store? I have to wonder if start over again with a fresh install is a better option?

  It is possible to "put the files"...

  Select an item in the Recycle Bin, right click (or use ctrl + click). In the menu that appears, select 'Put back'. It may not be an option (I don't remember which version added this feature, I think that it was 10.6).

  It is available "back" may not restore all the files and some files may already have been recreated in the old location (existing preferences for example).

  I fear this is can be a messy situation to fix.

  It might be easier to restore files from a different user account, where the need for a backup. If you don't know consider the Apple store again for help, but I guess that this situation is a bit difficult for you.

  See if others here have a better idea too, it is better not to act too quickly in situations like this, unless you have copies of the data on another.

• How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

  How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
  Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

  How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

  Any correction, automated for this?

  Thank you.

  It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

  Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

  Please download the program TreeSizeFree [1] and run it. It shows you which folders use the entire space.

  

  You are able to locate the folder that uses less space? Now, open the folders and look if you need data. If this is not the case, delete them.

• How can I save a directory or a specific file without saving the Image to the system?

  Purchased new software my company insists on the fact that we back up software data every day on a USB. I tried to schedule a backup, but I don't want the Image of the backup system. How can I save a directory or a specific file without saving the Image to the system?

  When you choose what to back up, simply uncheck the box of system image:

  

  Or another simple way is to program a command that copies the files on your USB key, replacing the backup from the night before.

  For example, this command copies all of my 'Project X' folder on my USB drive (drive E :)

• How can I get a directory using QFileInfo size

  Hi guys!

  I am trying to retrieve the size of a file or directory using QFileInfo, but still I can't get with success.

  Can anyone help me with any sample?

  Thank you!

  Here is an example on the web (not my code)...

  quint64 dir_size(const QString & str)
  {
      quint64 sizex = 0;
      QFileInfo str_info(str);
      if (str_info.isDir())
      {
          QDir dir(str);
          QFileInfoList list = dir.entryInfoList(QDir::Files | QDir::Dirs |  QDir::Hidden | QDir::NoSymLinks | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot);
          for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i)
          {
              QFileInfo fileInfo = list.at(i);
              if(fileInfo.isDir())
              {
                      sizex += dir_size(fileInfo.absoluteFilePath());
              }
              else
                  sizex += fileInfo.size();
  
          }
      }
      return sizex;
  }
  

  You will need to adapt it to your needs (IE do you want recursion, County, hidden, etc.).
