[sussex_mug] deleting books from iBooks in iTunes

Going a bit nuts with what should be simple. Various pdfs have ended up in my iBooks app on iPad. I want to remove them from wherever iTunes stores them (and from the iTunes library) but I can't actually find them anywhere in iTunes. I can see them in the iPad Books tab but that only pertains t

Thanks Sam. I don't think I ever had it enabled actually (on my Apple equipped 2012 MBA with an SSD). But I dragged the app back out of the trash to check and have rebooted and emptied the Trash. Nick On 31 Jan 2014, at 18:42, Sam - MacAmbulance wrote: > Trim enable itself does nothing more tha

Trim enable itself does nothing more than patch a system kernel extension to enable trim on unsupported (non apple) SSDs. You might need to switch it off within the app to restore that kext back to normal Regards Sam -- MacAmbulance Sam Mullen 07747778022 i...@macambulance.co.uk > On 31 Jan 2

While I opened Appzapper and dragged the Trim Enabler app from the Applications folder onto the Appzapper window and its gone. Will that be a problem? Maybe I could always download it again and disable it? Nick On 31 Jan 2014, at 18:18, Sam - MacAmbulance wrote: > Perfick > > -- > MacAmbulance

Right then, Holding down the Alt key did allow me to see options, one of which was restore from backup, this process is currently under way and is estimated to take 7 hours, we shall see. Unfortunately, this will put Mountain Lion and all my old files back on the machine, but at least I will b

HI Sam I disabled it and then rebooted and all is fine. Once switched off you can then disable auto startup from within the app, then i deleted Trim enabler. Regards Ray On 31 Jan 2014, at 17:55, Sam - MacAmbulance wrote: > Did you disable trim enabler from within the app? I forgot to men

Re: [sussex_mug] HFS Plus, its journal, TRIM and solid state (was: Is Trim enabler necessary on a MacBook Pro early 2013?)

Did you disable trim enabler from within the app? I forgot to mention it replaces a kext so that may need to be replace and trim enabler turned off but you can do all that within the app itself. Regards Sam -- MacAmbulance Sam Mullen 07747778022 i...@macambulance.co.uk > On 31 Jan 2014, at 17

I'd get rid of trim enabler if you've got a stock ssd, then check in system profiler under the sata tab, it should say if trim is on or off. Regards Sam -- MacAmbulance Sam Mullen 07747778022 i...@macambulance.co.uk > On 31 Jan 2014, at 17:06, Ray Packham wrote: > > Thats interesting Ta, I t

Try the hp printer drivers from the apple support website, then use image capture to do the scanning, if that doesn't make a difference then the scanning sensor may have broken perhaps? Sam -- MacAmbulance Sam Mullen 07747778022 i...@macambulance.co.uk > On 31 Jan 2014, at 09:32, John Patrick
