4 *.joboptions files from old Reader version are stuck in Trash and I can't delete them

Hello, all. I have a 5 year old Mac, PowerBook G4 which I love and don't want to replace. It runs MAC OS 10.4.11, it's a 867 mHz Power PC dual OS 9. The first Acrobat was 5.0, and when I downloaded an upgrade I just dragged the 5.0 to the trash. Now there are four files that I can't get emptied from the trash. They are eBook.joboptions, Press.joboptions, Print.joboptions and screen.joboptions. They are locked and I can't figure out how to unlock them.
I suspect that the problem is that this version of Acrobat only runs under System 9, but I am afraid to start system 9. Can anyone help me?

Hi Sue,
Take them out of the trash click on there icons go to get info and unlock them, then put them back in the trash and delete.
Regards Bj.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

Media files on my iPod touch are categorized as other and I can't use them

I connect my iPod touch to iTunes on my cousins computer and all my media files were tranfered to other. They still take up space on the iPod but there not where they are supposed to be. I think something like this happened when I had my iPod video but I fixed it easily by opening the iPod files with mycomputer and finding where they were I could right the wrong....however, my iPod touch does not appear in mycomputer wen I connect it but on my laptop wen I open mycomputer it appears as a camera and I cannot do anything with that. Is this normal....should my iPod appear in mycomputer......and how do I fix the problem with my media files being categorized as other.
P.S. If I add new media files they go where they are supposed to. I could restore my iPod and start over but I don't have backups so I want to get them back in there proper place

I really don't want to do that......is there anything the people at the apple store can do?
Also.....I was was having a problem viewing videos. The videos showed as bright colors i.e hilighter yellow and pink and it was distorted. Even youtube. I restored the settings and it stopped....did this happen to any1 else and is it something I should be worried about although its gone?

I plugged my ipod 5th gen into my pc and it added 15 songs (7 different ones) but they are not downloaded, installed and you can not delete them

Any solutions on how to delete the "ghost songs" ?
P.S I deleted all the songs from itunes and restored from backup but that did nothing

Mine had been fading for a while before the warranty was up, and then became mostly unchargeable in the eleventh month.
I took it to a Genius bar where they were able to test it and swap it for a new iPod touch.
Just make sure you have done a very careful backup before you go, I have had weird sync problems after the swap, getting my stuff back.
I suggest the simplest method is to clear off just about everything you can, especially the photos. Less to chase when things go pear shaped.

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting. A phone can only sync with one library at a time. You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced. To know which you will have to provide the information.
If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

I have moved old Back Up files from my external hard drive to the trash and as the Trash previews the files, i.e. counts them (over 850,000 files) it then begins to delete but then stops. Is it possible to move the files out of the Trash file and then only delete a small amount at one time?

Using Time Machine, is it possible to back up a computer AFTER a specific date. I only want to back up files from AFTER January 2015. Is this possible, and how can I do this?

Is what you're saying that you only want backups in TM of the state of your Mac from January 2015 to the current date and nothing before then? I'd think the simplest solution would just be to delete in TM all the backups prior to 1/15 and then let TM do its thing. The ultimate source for all things Time Machine is here. On this page, note the comment that "Time Machine will never delete the backup copy of anything that was on the disk being backed-up at the time of any remaining backup" which I understand to mean that if you delete all the backups in the TM file prior to 1/15, any file that wasn't present on your Mac as of 1/15 will no longer be represented in the TM file. Note that the second link also has instructions for how to delete TM files.
If you were trying to accomplish something else, then as Emily Litella (Gilda Radner in SNL) used to say, "never mind."

I synced the photos to my ipad from my pc which i dont have now. How can i delete them now ?

I synced the photos to my ipad from my pc which i dont have now. How can i delete them now ?

Do you normally sync to a computer? I ended up in the same boat when I'd synced some photos on, then got a new computer and forgot to remove the photos. What I had to do was set up to sync an empty folder on my new computer, which basically erased the old photos, replaced them with the nothing that was in the new folder.

You'll have to deselect the photos in the photo pane in iTunes on your computer and then sync the phone again, this will delete photos that have not been taken with the phone but synced from the computer.

Hi,
Photos synced from your computer can't be deleted directly on your iPhone. You'll need to connect your device to iTunes and remove the pictures by going in the Photos tab on your device's settings.

It sounds like a runaway process is filling up your volume.
Boot in safe mode. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space:

On my new iPhone4S I downloaded photos from my MacBook. I have several duplicates and would like to delete them. I have not been able to figure out how to do so. Help please.

I downloaded photos from my MacBook to my new iPhone4S. I discovered several duplicates and would like to delete them. I have not been able to figure out how to do so. Please help?

Thanks for your reply. Although I haven't tried yet, I think I will be able to use the photos on my phone, which have been paired, to find the dups in iPhoto and delete them there. Previously it was very difficult to search for and find the duplicates on the computer. Now I should be able to use the paired photos on the iPhone to find and delete the dups on the computer. Then I will sync the phone again. I think that should work; I hope you agree.

Hubby and I both have our own iPads, laptops, and apple/icloud id's. We both sync everything to iCloud. Just realized that several of my email folders are appearing in his Notes, and we can't delete them. Help!

Hubby and I both have our iPads, laptops, and apple/iCloud id's. We both sync everything to iCloud. My iPad is the newest device - got it about a month ago.
I have created many inbox folders on my laptop in my email. We just noticed that many of my inbox folders are showing up on his iPad in Notes. They look like "major headings" or "categories" for lack of a better term. There are no notes or anything under any of these categories. We've tried to delete these "categories" from his Notes, but can't do it. What's happening, and how can we fix this?

If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad. But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software. I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried all solutions using Itunes and it doesn't delete them from iphone

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried the ITunes solution and it does not delete the photos. Try a second time and Sync doesn't even start

I see the photos tab and "My Pictures" folder shows. Sync is unselected. It asks if I want to delete the photos when I click on sync and I said yes but it didn't work. It does seem that some photos are removed based on available storage left (decreases). If I select individual folders, subfolders of "My Pictures" then hit Sync deselected Sync doesn't even start.
