Can't delete an alias in the navigation column (error -8060)

I have a new mac mini (with 10.6.3 running) which I "initialized" using my old mac mini (10.4).
That was to get my accounts and settings and such transferred easily.
Somehow during the installation, in the Finder, in the Navigation Column, under the heading Locations an alias called Documenten (in Dutch) was placed there, which I cannot click on, it points to nothing and I can't delete it. During my efforts to remove it or reinstate the alias the finder response with error -8060.
Does anybody knows a way how to "manually" delete it from some settings file or preference file or something like that deep in the system?
Thanks & regards
Remco

Do you have a Documents folder in your Home folder? If so is it "normal?" If you quickly drag the alias out of the Finder's sidebar does it "poof" away or is that when you get the error?
Have you tried removing the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and/or com.apple.sidebarlist.plist files (drag to Desktop then relaunch the Finder.)

I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

In Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time?

In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time? Please be a little specific so I can follow your instructions as I'm not real smart at computers; I'm an intermediate user. Thank you.

Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

How can I delete an app from the cloud??

how can I delete an app from the cloud, so nobody can download it again to my phone?? please I tried from the computer but it just hide the app from purchased, and still appears in the app store with the cloud on it

At the present time, you can't hide or delete an app from your purchased list on your phone. Prior to iOS 6 you could hide it; there has never been an option to delete it.

I can't delete a file in the Content-Management

Hello,
I can't delete a file in the Content-Management, altough I have full control.
I get the following error message:
System error (com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException): null
Many thanks for the help.

Dear SAPMuffel ,
As far as we can see the error "com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException" is telling that the resource you are trying to delete could not be found, that is also to say, it might not exist any more.
So please let me know exactly how you can reproduc this issue?
and what kind of file it is? under what kind of KM repository?
Is there any other file under the same KM folder?
Also you can reproduce the issue and then check the lastest defaulttrace file under this folder:
../j2ee/cluster/server0/log/defaultTrace.*.trc
here you can find the detailed exception.
Best Regards,
Thunder

I can't delete my photos in the new iOS7 photo app.

Hi,
I can't delete my photos in the new iOS7 photo app. I tried shutting the app down and opening it again, but it doesn't help. What should I do?
Thanks

I had this problem to but I figured it out. Basically the photos are there because your photos on your computer are synced into your phone differently, not sure how it works. But plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, click on your phone, go to photos and uncheck the "Sync Photos from:" Option at the top. A message should pop up asking whether you want to keep or remove the photos already on your phone. Click remove, and there you go

How can I delete a name in the address of a text message?

How can I delete a name in the address of a texas message? The letter W appears as an addressee in error. The text message was not sent. The other addressess in the message was correct.

if there are going to be a lot of dash characters you could read the string character by character, compare the value of the character with the range of values for a letter in ascii, and not copy it to a new string if it doesn't match. If the odd character out is only going to be a dash, you can search the string for the character, split the string at this point, append it to a string buffer and keep doing this till you're done. Just suggestions :)

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

Turn off wifi. Use wireless signal. reenter password at settings. This should work. Turn wifi back on if you wish. Wait for next occurrence within hours or days. Have not found a permanent preventive solution. Thinking of replacing my four year old wireless router.
