How do I fix the trash -8003 error

I can't empty my trash. Any ideas?

The reason why some of the files are blocking the trash from emptying is because of specific ".app" files from third party companies like Adobe products. Not the user files or the various help documents but instead the actual mother program. Here's how to fix this problem:
1) remove from the trash all the actual software programs like Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver and so on and put them on the desktop.
2) Command "I" (info) and when the dialog box opens go to the "Name & Extension" text box and remove the ".app" from the software name. Example: Photoshop.app change to Photoshop.
3) the program icon will change to a "folder icon".
4) put the folder icon back into the trash and you should be able to now empty the trash.
If you continue to get the error code 8003 it's because you may still have one or more software programs in the trash that needs to go through this process. Remember - it's not the user files or help documents or supporting files that is causing this but instead the "actual product programs".

  • How do you fix the itunes R6034 error

    How do you fix the R6034 error with itunes?

    A few more details....
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • How do I fix the Database Organizer Error when using Acrobat 9 Pro on desktop PC with Windows 8.1 and 64-bit OS?

    After loading Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop PC (Windows 8.1; 64-bit OS), opening and closing a previously saved pdf file, I constantly get a message pop-up that indicates a "database organizer" error.
    How do I fix this?
    I have read multiple responses at various forums and they do not seem to apply, or have not worked for others, with regard to the details of my version of Acrobat and Windows OS.
    I'm beginning to think that the only solution is to purchase the latest version of Acrobat Pro and install it on my PC, which, of course, I would prefer not to do, unless this is my only viable option.
    Can this problem, specific to my version of Acrobat and Windows OS, be fixed or is the simple answer:  purchase the latest version of Acrobat Pro, because there is no fix for my version of Acrobat/Windows OS?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I fix the uninstal set error message that continues to pop up

    when FF is open and I click on any item a message appears as follows: [JavaScript Application] ! uninstal set. This message appears each time I press the left mouse button and will not dissappear until i click on OK. How do I fix this

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • How cow!  Fix the dreaded -50 error!

    I can't believe Apple hasn't fixed the -50 error that occurs when syncing. They are going to get flooded with support calls come Christmas morning!!! Oh the disappointment millions will experience.
    I have read hundreds of people on this forum who are experiencing the same problem. Has anyone found a cure yet?

  • How do I fix the "shockwave flash" error, causing firefox to lock up, slow, or crash?

    continous errors about "shockwave flash", "script has stopped working" etc, causing numerous slowdowns, lock-ups, and crashes. have tried several fixes, but none have worked.....please advise

    Is it a permissions problem? Here's another way.
    (1) In a My Computer or Windows Explorer window, open this folder:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    If that folder does not exist, then you are using 32-bit Windows, and you can open the following folder instead:
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    ''(Note: This folder exists on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, but on 64-bit Windows Firefox uses the Flash player in the SysWOW64 folder instead.)''
    (2) Check for a file named mms.cfg:
    (A) ''If mms.cfg exists,'' drag it to your '''Documents folder''' where you can edit it without being bothered about administrator privileges
    (B) ''If mms.cfg does not exist,'' open your '''Documents folder''', right-click > New > Text File and name the new file mms.cfg
    (3) Open mms.cfg from Documents into a text editor such as Notepad. Add this on its own line (I put it last):
    ProtectedMode=0
    Save the file and close Notepad.
    (4) Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the mms.cfg file back to the Flash folder to make a copy there, keeping the original in Documents
    This change should take effect the next time you restart Firefox.
    Hopefully that works around the permission issue.

  • How do I fix the "modification failed" error?

    When I try to add a new event to my Lightning calendar I get this error, the calendar is locked as "read only" and when I restart the app the event is no longer in the calendar. I have seen this sort of error for as long as I have been using T-bird but it has never been so total.
    I am running under windows 8, T-bird ver 24.4.0 and Lightning 2.6.4. It appears I have enabled test pilot for Tbird and it is ver 1.3.9.
    These calendars were copied from my old computer's hard drive and I am guessing there is something different about the format??? That Tbird was stuck on an older revision which I don't know the number.

    Right click the calendar and select export as ICS.
    Then try importing and see if it helps.
    Are the "events" showing as your the owner... There were issues at one point where calendar items that were not "owned" by you were not able to be edited.
    Help menu )Alt+H) ? troubleshooting information.
    Click the show button for the profile.
    Close Thunderbird
    Open the folder "Calendar data" look at the properties for all the files and make sure they are not read only. Correct as necessary.

  • How do I fix the "Expected handle" error when trying to transfer a file with FireFTP?

    I'm trying to upload a ZIP file to my FTP folder with Blackbaud and cannot do so. I've entered all the parameters exactly as instructed by Blackbaud and all connections look good but when I go to transfer the file, I get the following message: "Expected handle: /users/B67E610BAA01/"H:\Downloads\BUMFS RE7 Database.zip" "BUMFS RE7 Database.zip"." All I can do is click "OK" and nothing happens other than seeing a repeated loop in the log that alternates between "noop" and "ok."

    Make sure your account has the proper permissions to write to the location. I ran into this exact same problem, and that was my solution, anyway...
