Can't delete, move, or rename a folder

I have two stubborn FOLDERS in documents that when deleted, moved or renamed will revert back to it original name and location when I restart my computer. The first folder is "deliveries" in it is a second folder "tmpcache" which I did not create intentionally. The "tmpcache" appears to be empty and is not locked. I've tried all the posted methods/suggestions without success.

Hi bigreddog808
So it keeps re-appearing after a restart.
Delete that folder again and:
Look in your System Preferences > Accounts > your account, Start up Items for any reference to that Application that was responsible for the "jobsite delivery tags/receipts" that you were using a year ago.
If you find such an application in there, Deselect it, or even click on - (minus sign) to remove it.
Also see if there exists in:
your home folder /Library/Startup Items
your harddisk /Library/Startup Items
your harddisk/System /Library/Startup Items
again, for any reference to that application that was used a year ago that was responsible for creating that > Deliveries > tmpcache folders.
If you find that application in any of those locations, drag them to the desktop so they don't activate on startup.
If that works, create a new folder and put them there in case you want to keep them, if you don't want to trash them.
Hopefully this will stop those folders being re-created on restart.

  • Can I delete movies in iMovie Sharing folder?

    Hi.  I am using iMovie 11 with OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro.  When I complete a Project in iMovie, I publish it to iTunes using the Share > iTunes command from the main iMovie menu.  I have noticed that this creates two copies of the movie, one within iMovie in the Movies > iMovie Sharing > iTunes folder (let's call this location A), and the other in the iTunes > iTunes Media > Movies folder (location B).  Therefore, it seems that there are two copies of every finished movie on my computer.  Question: After publishing the movie to iTunes, can I delete the copy in location A?  Will this have any negative consequences if I later choose to edit the Project and re-publish the movie to iTunes?
    The movie in location A is on my internal drive, and the movie in location B is on an external drive (where all my iTunes media content is located). I fully back up both drives to another external drive 2-3 times per week, so I do not need the movie in location A for back-up purposes.
    By the way, when I sync the movie to my iPad (from iTunes) or watch it on my Apple TV (again, from iTunes), I believe iTunes is pulling the content from location B.
    Thank you

  • How can I delete movie from my itunes

    How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

    I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
    Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.

  • I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    Weird.
    Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before.  In the meantime...
    By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu?  Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
    Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
    Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

  • How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

    How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

    Since iTunes Match nor iCloud supports storing video content at this time (other than music videos purchased from the iTunes Store) what you want to do is not possible. There may be other cloud storage solutions out there, but none that integrate with iTunes.
    FYI, if any of the movies are purchased from the iTunes Store the service Apple calls iTunes in the Cloud by be a partial solution for you. However it is strongly recommended that keep a local backup of all your purchased media and not depend solely on a third party (Apple) to keep your data safe.

  • Once a movie is copied into iTunes, can I delete the file from the folder?

    I've copied several movies into iTunes and then sync'd them onto my Apple TV.
    My question is: Once I've copied a movie into iTunes, can I delete the movie from its original folder (e.g. the Movie folder) and still have the movie in my iTunes?
    More specifically, does "dragging and dropping" the movie into iTunes make a new copy of the movie file so that I can delete the original file? And if I can delete the original file, should I?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Thanks. I'll check and see when I get home tonight. My guess is that that's the setting since my disk space has decreased a lot when I started copying things into iTunes.

  • Can't delete file after renaming due to Word file handle still present. Error staes document is still in use but it's really not. Worked fine in 2007 but not in 2010.

    I have some code associated with a Word Template. The template is opened, filled out and saved via a routing in vba. This all works fine in older 2007 version (which is version it was originally created in). Once this file is saved, the user can change the
    date in a text box and re-save document. The code saves using the new date for part of new file name and then deletes that older file from the server. It fails at the delete function because the newer version of word is not dropping the file handle from the
    first named file when user saves it to the new filename. In older version (2007) this handle was released as soon as file was saved to a different name. I can't seem to figure out how to release the old document filename so the old document file can be deleted.
    I hope I explained this well enough.
    Here's the code that woeked in version 2007 but fails in version 2010.

    mogulman52 and Don,
    I went back and looked at my code and had already updated it to SaveAs in the new docx format. It still holds the lock handle in place until Word closes, unlike earlier versions which released the lock handle when you did a SaveAs.
    As a note, all my Word and Excel macro-enabled (dotm & xltm) templates are read only and are never filled in, prompting the user for a file name on any close event or if they run the code gets auto-named. I do the SaveAs and concatenate the file name
    from data on the document (or sheet) that has been filled in. During the SaveAs the docx gets saved to a network folder and also on a local folder. The lock gets renamed to the filename and remains until Word is closed.
    So my code still fails at the point noted below while trying to delete an old filename version after the file has been saved as a new filename in a new folder. So....
    The code is looking in the last folder where the docx file was saved for the older filename so it can be deleted. The newest docx version has already been saved in a different folder and has a new lock handle of its own. That lock is not my problem, it's
    the older file lock which really exists in the same folder as the first filename that the docx was saved to. It does not release that lock until I exit Word. My work around has been to instruct all users to manually delete the older version file.
    The other odd thing is this only happens when I run it from code, if you manually go through these steps with the SaveAs menu drop-downs in Word it will release the lock handle???
    Hope this isn't to confusing and thanks for all your suggestions and help.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can't delete/move emails using Mail app

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and having problems with my Mail application.
    The long and short of it is that I cannot delete or move emails from my Inbox.  When I select an email in the preview panel and delete it, it disappears, but when I select the Trash folder, it isn't in there.  And when I go back to my Inbox, lo and behold, it is back there again, as if I had never deleted it.  The same holds true when I try to move an email from my Inbox to one of my iCloud folders.
    Emails come in to my Inbox just fine.
    And I am able to move emails from one iCloud folder to another, however.
    And I do not have this problem when I access my email via Iphone, ipad or icloud.com.  In fact, when I delete an email from my iphone, it gets deleted from my Inbox on my Mail app.
    I looked in Mail Preferences, and I have one Account set up:   iCloud IMAP.   Is that right?  I use me.com for my email.
    Any ideas here?

    This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Can you manually move files within a folder to put them in a specific order?

    I am new to mac, I was wondering if there is an app maybe that you could move files within a folder (ie photos) to make them in a specific order and then rename them, I used to be able to do this with my windows xp..... cant seem to make it happen with my new macbook pro and from what i can gather it cant be done? can it? Thanx in advance.........

    Thomas, I have set the view to maunally but when i move the icons they return to where they were sitting..?
    In the Finder? You probably have a sort selected in the Sort By submenu in the View menu. However, the order of icons in icon view won't have any influence on the order of the images in the slideshow, I think. Use iPhoto, this is one of the things it's made for, the Finder is not.

  • Can I/How do I Rename the Folder Where All my Cataloged Images Reside

    I have migrated all my images from an old W7 system to a newer system, and successfully built a new PSE catalog on the new PC.  Now I would like to rename the folder where the images actually reside.  How can I do that, PSE-wise?
    I've found some options to move the PSE Catalog, but I don't think that's what I want - I want to move the media, and rebuild the catalog (and thus abandon ship on the old one).  Is that possible?

    You have to export copies, and you can specify the resolution in the export dialogue. But the easiest way to provide high-resolution copies for your client is to give them full-sized JPEG images. Changing the resolution number will have no impact on the quality or the resolution. If you want to send them low-resolution images, then resize them to something like 800 x 1200 pixels. Again, the number in the resolution box has no impact on the quality. But you will have to export the copies in two export operations because you can't export two different sizes at once. You don't have to wait for the one export process to finish before you start the other one.

  • I can't delete, move or create new pages.

    Hello,
    I have catalogue (390 pages)
    Today i cant delete, move or create new pages.
    When i delete, move or create new pages - my Indesign CS5.5 program "freezes"
    Only with CTR: + ALT + SHIFT i can stopped my program.
    Аfter reopening everything was as before!
    I try to export like a  *.idml file, but my program crashes! Every time!
    My OS is: Windows 7
    Indesign CS5.5
    Please help me
    Thank you!
    With kind regards,
    Botev Plovdiv

    Is there anything at all related to this freeze in the Windows Event Viewer?
    Are you able to add, remove, or move pages in a new document? Are you able to export a new document to .idml?
    Yes, it is able!
    It sounds like there may be a corrupt bit of text, or an image in the file. It may be possible to isolate a page, and then an object, using "Divide and Conquer."
    Start with a copy of the file, for safety. Try to export the front half and the back half separately. If either half crashes, divide it in half aand try to export those halves. Repeat the process until you have isolated a page that crashes. Now remove half the objects from that page and try to export. If it works, put those back and remove the other half and try again. Repeat as above until you isolate an object.
    Thank you, I will try!
    After that i will back to you with my comments!
    Thank you again, Peter!

  • Can't delete movies from iPad 2

    I have an iPad 2 and I cannot delete movies from it.  I have tried going into the movie icon but there is no edit function.  Also, synced it to itunes but the movies on the ipad that I want to delete are not in my itunes library.  I went to Settings / General / Storage / movies (no data).  I am at a loss and need help.

    Is there a little cloud on each movie?
    The cloud icon means it isn't on the iPad, but in the cloud for download.
    You can hide the movies in your iTunes account so they no longer show.   You can unhide later it you want.

  • How can I delete movies to make space?

    I want to delete 2 movies I purchased from my ipad to create spacebut the instructions in the tutorial dont match what I see.  I dont have "movies list" to tap on, only pictures and when I tap on these the movies start to play.  How can I delete these movies?  I have no space for photos.

    You should be able to see the list of movies you have synced on your iPad through iTunes on your computer. Are you using the media tabs across the top to select Movies? If so, make sure the movie you removed from the iPad is also unchecked in your Movie list. If it is there and still checked, it may try to sync back to the iPad, though I think it will uncheck it for you. If you have been purchasing your movies directly from the iPad, your movie may not show up in iTunes on your computer. You may want to Transfer Purchases from your iPad so they're backed up on your computer. If that is the case, let us know if you need help with that.
