Hi, I have a PPC Running OSX 10.5.4 and I want to delete the User "Guest"and "Shared"Folders on my HD, they won't let me change the permissions and I keep getting errors that say the permissions should be 0 and are 501 and having files i can't delete that go on and on ad infinitum... I think it's a virus or a corruption? Can anyone tell me or help me and let me know what I'm dealing with here or wether I'm mistaken and should leave it alone?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt

Why do you want to delete those?  What have you done so far to do that?
I doubt that Mac has a virus.  On the other hand, your attempts to deleted those folders may have caused corruption.
Two other comments:
1) Is there a reason that Mac hasn't been updated to OS X 10.5.8?
2) You've been misled by the poor field labeling on this Web site into trying to type your entire post into the "subject" field.  In the future, just put a short summary of your post into that field.

    Not having enough space on your hard drive is a problem in itself, OS X likes 10-20% free in order to operate smoothly. Right click on your hard drive icon and choose Get Info to see how much you have free. There are several free applications that will help you identify what is taking up so much space just Google it.

  • I keep getting error code 201.   what should I do?

    i keep getting error code 201 when installing CC for the first time On Maverick 10.9.4 Macbook pro
      Please help

    Hi Sallyinouralley,
    Did you pause the download or face stability difficulties with your Internet connection? Error 201 indicates that the download of the installation files was unable to be resumed successfully. I would recommend utilizing a different Internet connection. If you are connected via WiFi try a wired connection. If you are connected via a wired connection then please try a different cable.
    Please refer to below mentioned steps:
    MAC
    1) If you are using the Wi-Fi connection try with wired connection.
    2) Delete the OOBE folders from both the location of HD.
    3) Run the CC Cleaner to uninstall the creative cloud and if its first time you can skip this step
    4) Give Permissions to Adobe Folders and restart the system and download the cc again.
    Let me know the results.
    Thanks!

  • Firefox quit on my MAC, I uninstalled and now cannot install, keep getting error that it is open or file is missing. PLEASE HELP, have to use Firefox for work.

    I have an iMAC w/OS 10.7.5. I was working in Firefox today and as I was entering letters it changed to unrecognizable characters so I had to exit the application. Firefox froze up and after trying to re-open it many times, I finally tried uninstalling and then re-installing. When trying to open a new download, I am given an error message saying that firefox is already open or that files are missing. I spent approx 2 hrs on the phone with Apple support and they were unable to locate problem and I am now turning to you for help. I need this fixed desperately and ASAP as the program that I use for work will only run on Firefox.

    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
