Apps Wont Delete And Weird Icon

-Hi
I was downloading an app. In the process of downloading my internet got cut off. After I got my internet back, the app that i was downloading is stuck. I tried to delete the app but the icon is still there. It is a grey gridded square with an X through the middle and a series of concentric circles superimposed over that. Btw, it is not on waiting. It's just say the name of the app. Help!

OMG,Thank You So Much.. That fixed it! You Are My Saviour!!!

When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it? All im trying to do is update my apps and its asking for these random apple ID's.

The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

Make sure Sync Apps is checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and that all the apps are checked that you want on your phone. Also be sure that your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your apps (and other media) in Store>Authorize this Computer.

Hi Doomtrooper,
When you updated your iPhone 4S and iPad3 to iOS6, what exactly do you mean when you can't access the iTunes store? Have you checked your connection to the network?
Please be a little more specific

Dark blue background and weird icon placement on jump list (recent files) of apps in task bar

Hi, I recently made a factory reset of W8.1, and now I'm seeing a weird and very annoying dark blue backgound in the list of recent files that appears when you right click an app pinned to the taskbar. Also, the "pin to taskbar" and "close window" icons show sort of out of place and apparently larger than normal I've tried looking through every possible setting but I can't find anything related to this list in particular. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

Hello @Adrianrff, I understand that a dark blue background and strange icon placement on the jump list of apps in the task bar of your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Since this issue occurred after performing a factory reset, I suggest performing a full system recovery by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return the jump list and icon sizes back to factory settings.
If the issue continues, please contact our technical support for further assistance in this matter by clicking the link below to get the support number for your region.

I hope this helps!
Regards Thanks for the suggestion, MechPilot. I did a full system recovery but unfortunately it did not work. Apparently the color of the background matches the color chosen in Windows first startup, but I don't remember having chosen white the first time, everything looked fine then. Any other suggestion?

Finder wont Delete and Gives me Error Code -1407

So, i'll Just get right into it. About a week ago I installed a MAC NTFS read/write driver (file located here: http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/) or whatever in order to transfer a 4gb ISO file over to an NTFS external HD. It was only after this that I started to notice some weird stuff happening.
1- All of the stuff on my normal External HD (Formatted in FAT 32) that was put there before the driver was installed wont delete, but New Stuff Will.
2- There is a weird file in my trash bin that has weird and unrecognized characters in the title and says it was created in 1903, but it is 0kb in size. And it wont delete. (I have tried Secure Delete)
3- whenever i try to delete It gives me a message that says: "Sorry, the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error has occurred. Error Code -1407"
I have tried Secure Delete on the files, like I said, and I've ran OnyX. Though It hasnt seemed to have worked. Also, when I transfer the files that wont delete over to a windows machine, they wont play (Some of these files are AVI video files) and say the files are corrupted. (I've tried VLC on the files on the windows machine) But, the files all play normally on my own Mac Machine. I just now got fed up with all of this and decided to ask for some help. Anyone got any Idea whats going on? Whats the Error Code -1407 mean? (I have uninstalled the driver and its all still messed up)

I don't know about your first issue for sure-more details could help.
EDIT: Try opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and typing the blue text in (copy and paste it):
ls -aleO@
DON'T press enter yet. Type a space, and drag a file you can't delete into Terminal. You'll see its path displayed onscreen. Press enter, and paste the results into a reply.
As to your second 2 problems, I would suggest, if you are running Boot Camp, booting into windows, and running chkdisk.
Good luck!
P.S. Welcome to Discussions!

Powermac G5 wont sleep, and weird squares show up where mouse is

I just reinstalled for the third time Tiger on my Dual 2gb G5 with a 30" Cinema, Was working great till I reinstalled to OS to make a new user account. Now it wont sleep, When I manually put it to sleep, the mouse dissapears, and nothing else happens. It also gets these 1/16" squares and weird anolmolys on the screen when the mouse sits, especially when I scroll wheel, It makes a line of squares. I have tried resetting the PMU, (opening the case and pushing the little button on the Mother board).
I am at a loss, Can you reset the pram on the G5? or is it even nessesary?
when it goes to the screen saver the screen just freezes, and then wakes up from the screen saver fine.

Stumbled upon the answer, I didnt remember ever installing the drivers for the ATI Video card, but had a brain **** and installed them from the web, Solced the problem, Thanks. Your last line was inspired!

My Apps wont open, and the computer (Powerbook G4) starts super slowly.

Every time I boot up, my Powerbook boots very slowly, sometime taking up to five minutes. In addition to that, I can't open any apps, except for Finder, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and the basic functional things like settings. By they won't open, I mean the icons will bounce for a while, then a box pops up that says, for example;
The application Microsoft Office Setup Assistant Quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
Click Relaunch to launch the applicationagain. Click Report to see more details, or send a report to Apple.
I really need to be able to use Microsoft word and stuff for school, and I can't afford a new computer. I'm running OS X 10.5.8
I've browsed several sites, and I tried all of the following things:
Restarting in SafeBoot mode,
Making a new admin account to see if it launched quicker/ let me open apps (It didnt),
Pressing Control + Option + P + R (it worked once, but it hasnt worked since)
Used OnyX, (which now won't open either)
I checked to see what login items I had, and there weren't any.
Please help!
Thanks,
Avery
Also, I don't have any disks for this computer on hand, as it used to be a family friends. /:

Hello Avery,
I received an email notification about this topic even though I have this forum set to not send them so I think perhaps you sent it to me deliberately hoping I might have some ideas?
First of all I think we should concentrate on your not being able run your essential apps and the crashes. The disk repaired buttons being greyed out is usually because the account trying to do it doesn't have admin privileges. It's a good idea to create a spare account that has admin privileges incase anything should ever go wrong with your default account. From your post I think you know how to create a spare account via System Prefs.
I'm not sure whether we can fix the problem but we can try to identify it at least. If you have any irreplacable data on your PowerBook I think you should back it up as a priority and if you don't have a backup drive or can't afford one at the moment then beg or borrow one.
I don't want to alarm you but if it turns out that your PowerBook is finally giving up the ghost your precious data will have at least have been backed up and ready to restore to a replacement machine. Not long ago and in good condition a 12" aluminium PB G4, which I believe was 1.33GHz, sold on eBay for £45 ($72). Early white MacBooks still pop up too and are inexpensive and faster and more RAM than PB G4 so all is not lost. If we end up having to go down that route it might come in useful to make a note of this link:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g4/index-powerbook-g4.html
Paste it into Stickies or Text Edit as they don't require a lot of system resourses so should be stable when launched. If it turns out you need to replace any components the site will have links to suppliers. Using that link you'll also be able to check the detailed specs of any second-hand Mac being sold on eBay before purchasing.
It would be useful to know exactly which PowerBook you have and how much RAM is installed. Click the Apple logo top right of screen\About this Mac\More info.
My first inclination is that it sounds like a possible RAM problem, either faulty or not enough. You have 10.5.8 installed which might be the most recent OSX that you can upgrade to which we won't know until you let me know the exact model. That the case was with my PB G4 874GHz on which I had 1Gb of RAM installed (512MB is the official maximum but 1Gb worked fine and has been stable). I should say at this point that with 1Gb of RAM it was quite spritely running OSX10.4s but started to struggle when I upgraded to 10.5s. Did you upgrade only to 10.5 only recently I wonder?
Let's try this: go to Applications\Utilities\Activity Monitor\Memory and launch a couple of an app and see how if Activity Monitor is spiking. Start with light app like Stickies. While still monitoring open and use another app, perhaps text edit. Keep them open and playback soundfile perhaps, through a little player rather than iTunes if possible. Is it overloading? Once you've checked the memory do the same for the processor and the harddrive.
I've enabled this thread to receive emails so take some notes, set to with the various things I suggested if you think they might help, and get back to me when you have something. I'm working this afternoon (it's 09.58 here in the UK) but will be around this morning, later this evening and for some of Saturday. I may of course have already given it my best shot but I'm happy to help if I can. If we don't make any progress it might be worth compiling your posts from this forum and posting in the MacBook Pro forum as there are plenty of experts in there that might be able to help more than I can.
Good luck,
K
