Can't trash a download from my desktop. A message says because it can't be deleted. I am using OS 10.7

I downloaded what I thought was a excel file on RRP prices. It is fastened solid onto my desktop and can't be moved. I tried to move it to Trash but a message pops up stating that it could not be moved to Trash as it cannot be deleted. I ran a virus check of my desktop files but no virus was detected. I am using OS 10.7.5. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Have you tried a restart and then trying to trash the file?
Maybe this from the X-Lab will help: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html

Hey Gingernut03,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! So it sounds like the same type of thing is happening to both iTunes and iCloud. Check out the following iTunes article and see if that resolves the issue with both services:

Can TV show episodes downloaded from iTunes be converted?

Can TV show episodes downloaded from iTunes be converted for my non-ipod mp3 player? It's made by Creative Zen and does have a video converter to get files into the right format, but is there something about iTunes TV episodes and their encoding that would prevent this?

In answer to the 2nd part of your question,yes, the files are protected which make them only compatible with iPods, iPhones, etc.

TS2972 I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas?

I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas? Sometimes I can connect though computer and get all my movies but usually I can not connect though the network.

thank you Diesel vdub this helps but I just need to clarify - I understand about copying the intire folder ( cool thanks ) for the second part though, you are saying I can not do this if the 2nd computer does not have internet access? ( which you seem to be saying - bother! )
many thanks

Why can I login to iTunes from my phone with no problem, but I can't login to iTunes from my desktop.

Why can I login to iTunes from my phone with no problem, but I can't login to iTunes from my desktop using the same login credentials. I can use a different appleID and login to itunes with no problem.

Thanks for your reply. I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone. I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

HT201303 how can i get songs downloaded from other apple products on my shared apple id on to my ipod nano?

how can i get songs downloaded from other apple products on my shared apple id on to my ipod nano? my daughter just got a new ipod nano for her birthday and we redeemed the shared apple account our family uses and when we went to go buy music it says we need to redeem another card for us to buy the music so i was wondering if i could just let my older daughter download the music onto her phone via itunes app and see if that music would go on my younger daughter's ipod nano but i am looking on the itunes and i don't see an option for that for ipod nanos. thanks so much.

You should always make sure that you put all of your music on your computer. From there you can sync it to whatever device you like

Can I import songs downloaded from Wallmart & other sites?

I have music I downloaded from Wallmart & other sites. Can these be imported into iTunes & then in the iPod?
Thanks you,
Howieb

You can't import songs downloaded from Walmart music service. They are copy protected (DRM) wma files and both itunes and the ipod do not support that. You would need to burn those songs to a music CD and then reimport the CD via itunes or another ripper encoder.
There is no direct way of doing that as far as I know.

Trying to download from iTunes it will always say Safari can't open, invalid address.

Hi, every time I try to download/purchase a movie it will say that Safari can't open because of invalid address. What am I doing wrong with iTunes?

Post in the iTunes forum and find out.

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)
