How to drain large amounts of back ups in trash in el capitan

To start I am not that computer savvy, but I have a lot of back ups on my computer in El Capitan, that I need to remove.  A single file will prepare (takes forever) and then it displays an error and will not delete.  They are in my garbage can.  Any suggestions? Thank you!

What you mean exactly you have 'a heap of back ups on my computer in El Capitan I need to delete'? OS X do not save on himself, that's why I'm confused. If you have data that you no longer need, and then drag to the trash and then empty the trash.

However, if you tell your Time Machine backups a backup drive you need more, then Please leave alone TM. TM will remove automatically old backups when the HD is almost his ability. If you try to "think in ' Time Machine probably dirty it it and having to start all over again.

  • Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Hi, I'm opperating on Windows Vista Basic Home Edition on top of a HP540 Tower, which has 160 GB hard drive.

    Except for the 20 GB Partition, I stayed with 129 GB to install a fresh on o/s.

    After installing my o/s and updates the 7Gig to clean Documents saved from after installation.

    I was left with 99 Go!

    Something wrong without a doubt!

    Even more, I'm losing memory on my hard drive like there is no tomorrow, 30 GB in 4 days!

    It seems every time I'm streaming videos, or even just to watch videos, an external hard drive.

    I lose about 1 or 2 GB!

    Using a number of antivirus programs, I scanned for a virus, but all programs concluded that the

    the system is clean and that there is no virus!

    This led me to believe that the system backup and restore several coppies of his car, then

    I have used the disk clean up to remove all but the most recent backup file.

    All of a sudden my disk space is increased from 69BG to 99 GB.

    I still don't know what happened to the other Go 20 or 21.

    Although this seems to be a difficulty, with in a few minutes that the backup has been busy writing far still and in

    15 minutes that I had fallen to 97.3 GB and deminuishing.

    Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Thank you very much!

    Nothing wrong as far as I can see.  A Windows installation will take about 20 GB to 30 GB so it's fine, and you will lose even more space for virtual memory to system management file, hibernation, system restore points file and so on.  Although the "30 GB in four days" is perhaps a little on the high side, considering that you have just installed Windows, there are a lot of household, creating files and so forth go on these days.

    With the help of disk cleanup to delete these files from system restore is a bad choice, because they are created to ensure the security of your system and allow you to recover from any problems that may require them.

    If disk space is as big a problem to get a bigger hard drive and let the system restore to do its job.

  • Looking for ideas on how to get large amounts of data to the line in via APEX

    Hi all

    I am building a form that will be used to provide large amounts of data in row. Only 1 or 2 columns per line, but potentially dozens or hundreds of lines.

    I was initially looking at using a tabular subform, but this feels like a method heavy since more than an insignificant number of lines.

    So now I'm wondering what are the solutions others have used?

    Theoretically, I could just provide a text box and get the user to paste in a list delimited by lines and use the background to interpret code on submit.

    Another method that I've been thinking is to get the user to save and download a CSV file that gets automatically imported by the form.

    Is there something else? If not, can someone give me any indication of which of the above would be easier to implement?

    Thank you very much

    PT

    Hi PT,.

    I would say that you need a loading data wizard to transfer your data with a CSV file. 17.13 Creating Applications with loading capacity of data

    It is available for apex 4.0 and distributions, later.

  • How can I find a large amount of data from a stored procedure?

    How can I find a large amount of data to a stored procedure in an effective way?

    >
    Leave the query to create the object back to you.

    Declare a cursor in a package specification than the result set gives you desired. And to declare a TYPE in the package specification which returns a table composed of % rowtype to this cursor.

    Then use this type as the function's return type. Here is the code example that shows how easy it is.

    create or replace
        package pkg4
          as
            CURSOR emp_cur is (SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, deptno FROM emp);
            type pkg_emp_table_type is table of emp_cur%rowtype;
            function get_emp(
                             p_deptno number
                            )
              return pkg_emp_table_type
              pipelined;
      end;
      / 
    
     create or replace
        package body pkg4
          as
            function get_emp(
                             p_deptno number
                            )
              return pkg_emp_table_type
              pipelined
              is
                v_emp_rec emp_cur%rowtype;
              begin
                  open emp_cur;
                  loop
                    fetch emp_cur into v_emp_rec;
                    exit when emp_cur%notfound;
                    pipe row(v_emp_rec);
                  end loop;
              end;
      end;
      / 
    
    select * from table(pkg4.get_emp(20));
    
         EMPNO ENAME      JOB              MGR     DEPTNO
    ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
          7369 DALLAS     CLERK2          7902         20
          7566 DALLAS     MANAGER         7839         20
          7788 DALLAS     ANALYST         7566         20
          7876 DALLAS     CLERK           7788         20
          7902 DALLAS     ANALYST         7566         20
    

    If you return a line an actual table (all columns of the table) so you don't need to create a cursor with the query a copy you can just declare the type like this % rowtype tables table.

     create or replace
        package pkg3
          as
            type emp_table_type
              is
                table of emp%rowtype;
            function get_emp(
                             p_deptno number
                            )
              return emp_table_type
              pipelined;
      end;
      / 
    
     create or replace
        package body pkg3
          as
            function get_emp(
                             p_deptno number
                            )
              return emp_table_type
              pipelined
              is
              begin
                  for v_rec in (select * from emp where deptno = p_deptno) loop
                    pipe row(v_rec);
                  end loop;

    You can copy the original images from your SD card on the hard drive or the location where they were originally stored, and changes can be restored only if you have a backup catalog that contains the version edited for these images.

    Locate the backup catalog on your computer that contains the changes.

  • Importing a large amount of text in InDesign (Newbie question)!

    Hi all

    I'm new to InDesign and would appreciate some advice/tips on the best way to transfer a large amount of text from Microsoft Word into an InDesign document. I was tasked to create a very simple pocket-sized book, whose content will be a series of business acronyms (700 +) and their definitions (imagine a very simple dictionary). As you can imagine there are a lot of text in the Microsoft Word document, so any advice on how to transfer everything as quickly as possible would be really useful. Or, where appropriate, it would be easier to use another program?

    Can you paste/import all - or chunks-a document word at once? If I format a master page will be Adobe InDesign paste the text in the number of pages required? Or do I have to do it page by page in a Clipboard?

    Of course, I don't expect InDesign to format the text perfectly on every page, I want to just throw everything at once and then go back and he put all this.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Concerning

    Matthew

    File > Place... and navigate to the Word file. Show Import Options to allow you to preserve the formatting of Word, or throw, or card styles styles in your document of identity.

    If you have a block of text on your master page, place the cursor loaded above the area of the image on your document page and watch for the cursor change if it is surrounded by parentheses, then hold down the SHIFT key and click. If you do not have a Master frame (and more experienced users will tell you that more than 90% of the time a block of text type is more hindrence than help if you set your margins correctly), hold down the SHIFT key and click where you want the top of the first column to get started.

    In both cases, ID will add pages as necessary to place the entire document and thread text across all frames. If using frames of masters, they will be linked and overrridden on the page of document automatically, otherwise, your first image will begin where you click and extend to the bottom margin and succeeding frames will fill the column guides (so talk to your margins correctly).

    ID is a professional software and you really need to spend time to learn how it works. A good starting point is the help files. Another is Visual QuickStart Guide of Sandee Cohen of InDesign. If you prefer video training, Lynda.com has good content.

  • Back ups

    Dear Experts,

    I use a compaq laptop Presario CQ56, with Windows 7 HOme Premium, Service Pack 1.

    Each week, I making a comeback to the top by opening all programs, Maintenance, backup.  It is a Sandisk memory stick.   Every 3 months or so, I use the recording feature space to remove the previous back ups.  However, these previous back ups are grouped, with a start and completion, which means I have to delete my entire back ups and then run back to the top.

    Q. What is normal or everyone back up to have its own date.   If it should, how do I program it to do it please?

    Thank you very much, best regards, fisherman.

    Ouch! Please do not yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally,
    in different cases.

    Number of points:

    1. If you delete backups, you lose the ability to return to the
    dates, it has been created. If it's safe, it's for you to decide.

    2 If you are running out of space, almost everything you short of
    purchase of another hard disk, is at best a palliative. Deletion of
    something you free up space, but you will certainly soon
    find yourself in the same situation.
    If you need more disk space, buy a disc anymore. They are very
    cheap these days.

    3. If you save on your single drive (or even a second internal
    by car) you provide yourself with only a small amount of
    protection. I do not recommend backup your only or a second
    removable hard drive not because it leaves you susceptible to
    the simultaneous loss of the original and backup on a good number of the most
    the common dangers: serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
    attacks, even stolen computer.

    In my view, secure backup must be on a unguarded and removable media
    in the computer. For backup really secure (required, for example, if the)
    the life of your company depends on your data), you should have several
    generations of backup and at least one of these generations must be
    stored off-site.

    You can read this article on the backup that I wrote: 'save '.

    Hello mattyboy1212,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    1. click Start and then click Control Panel.

    2. click on programs link.

    Note: If you see small icons or large icons in the control panel display, you will not see this link. Click on the default programs icon, and then click the link associated with a file type or Protocol with a program . Go to step 4.

    3. click on the link to Open a file in a specific program type always under default programs .

    4. in the set Associations window, scroll down until you see the file extension that you want to change the default for program.

    5. click on the extension of the file to select it, once you have found what you are looking for.

    6. click the button of change... program above the scroll bar.

    The Open with dialog box should appear.

    7. look into options for programs recommended and choose the application you want to open it with the file extension when you double-click on the particular type of the file on your computer.

    Note: Chances are, requests described under the programs recommended will be contain more programs for this type of file, but don't forget to look at the applications under other programs. You may need to click the v to expand the list of these programs.

    Note: Click Browse... to search, through your computer for any program not shown do not want to use.

    8. click OK in the Open with window. Windows 7 is going to update the list of file associations to display the new default program to open this type of file.

    9. click the button close the bottom together associations . You can also close the window of the Control Panel if it is still open.

    10. at this stage, when you double-click on any file with this particular file extension, the program you partner in step 7 will launch and load the particular file.

    Important: Program used to automatically open when these types of files have been launched will again open these types of files. To use a different program, you just need to start the program manually and then browse your computer for the file in particular.

  • Application of large amount of copy character styles

    Hello!

    I am trying to apply character Styles to a large amount of copy and I can't understand it. I find tutorials on how to create them and use them, but I don't want to have to search all my text to style "italic". I hope that all makes sense. I thought that there was a way to apply a character Style to the text easily, but I can find no longer.

    I want to apply a character Style to some words in a large amount of text, and then apply Styles to a paragraph in the text box. actually not to change Styles of character to the breast.

    Does anyone know how to do this? Looks like it should be so simple!

    Thanks in advance!

    L.

    Is already italic text? If it is you can do a find/change GREP for. + and set the Format to find for italics, and then set the format change on your italic character style and change all. You should do this on a copy of the doc for safety.
