Cannot delete file on win7 after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading Lion OS X, I can not delete file on Lion partition from win 7. It always says "This file is too large...".
Also, My 2 HFS partition will not show on win 7. How to solve it?
I did upgrade BootCamp to 3.3

What your going to need to do is c boot and install OS X (10.6) from the disk, onto a blank external drive (format the drive first in Disk Utility: GUID OS X Extended (J))
Once 10.6 is installed, hold the option key and boot from the 10.6 external drive, go through setup with your same user name, and Software Update to 10.6.8
Then download and install DataRescue ($99) onto the external 10.6 drive and attach another blank external GUID OS X extended formatted drive and run DataRescue to recover your files to that drive. There will be a lot.
Data Rescue will read the 1's and 0's of the files themselves regardless of what your partition map says, before they are overwritten.
After that's done, access the second external drive and pick though the files to recover.
Once you have gotten all your data, you need to install all your third party programs on the external drive from original sources and update. Then move your files you've recovered to it.
Once that' is all done, erase one drive and download Winclone, and clone the Bootcamp Windows to the empty drive.
Then use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero the entire internal drive of all partitions and everything. (select the drive makers name and size on the far left) Format GUID OS x Extended Journaled like always.
Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 10.6.8 external drive to the internal drive, disconnect the external drive and boot from the internal drive and then install Lion on the internal drive. You can hold option key, click on Purchases to download Lion again.
Use Bootcamp to set up Windows partition, then follow Winclones directions to clone Windows back into the Bootcamp partition.

Win7 Offline Files sync error after upgrade to Lion Server 10.7.2

Symptom: client is a Win7 laptop, the server is Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion Server with SMB and AFP shares. Win7 Offline Files stopped working after I upgraded Snow Leopard (non-server version) to Lion Server 10.7.2. After updating to 10.7.3, the problem persists. When syncing, it gives thounsands of error like this: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. WinXP clients are fine with the Offline Files function though.
I Googled and studied online for several days now and it might be related to the "Oppurtunistic Locking", or "Oplocks" for short, in the SMB protocol. Since Apple has re-written Samba, there's no "smb.conf" anymore to change the Oplocks setting. Maybe it's possible to change the setting in "com.apple.smb.server.plist"?
From the Internet:
1. Oplocks should be DISABLED on the server if there is any other file sharing protocol (AFP, etc.) other than SMB.
2. Offline Files will NOT work properly if Oplocks is disabled on the server side.
3. It was possible to config oplocks setting in smb.conf in Mac OS X versions prior to Lion but now there's no such config file.
My Question:
1. Does anyone else have similar problems?
2. Is it related to the Oppurtunistic Locking thing?
3. Is Oppurtunistic Locking enabled or disabled in Lion Server by default?
4. If it's related to Oplocks, how can I change the setting on the server?
5. I've noticed that the authentication from Windows PCs to the SMB share on the Lion Server is much slower then in SL. Could this somehow be related to my problem?
Thanks for your time! :-D

Any luck getting the info on SMBX parameters like OPLOCKS ? This is apparently causing an issue with Autodesk Revit. I am resorting to installing SMBUP.
There is an article that describes this method for altering the Lion smbd configuration parameters for honoring ACLs:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server AclsEnabled -bool NO

Cannot delete file from disk after emailling that file like attachment

After i send some file from disk in Mail like attachment i cannot delete that file from disk unless i quit Mail. Like Mail is still using a file. Of course, that mail is in Sent mail, not in outbox.

This deeper than that. I created another account on the same iMac and it works in Harmony with my other devices and Documents in the cloud. I can only imagine the icloud account is somehow corrupted (I am on my macbook not iMac at the moment). There have been no updates to the Calendar, Contacts or Documents since early January on that account. I have spent 1hr on the phone with support and they were baffled as well. Only thing I can gove as insight to the problem is this, I was on the Mac Mini which was backed up on Time Machine. about 4 or 5 months ago I had to completley restore the Mac Mini becasue of the never ending circle on the load screen. The Backup failed to work it kept loading the issue and 4 or 5 times the circle of death kept coming up I would subsequently wipe the Mini and go further back in the back up until I go a copy that worked. I then loaded the Time Mache back up into my NEW iMac and wnet from there. It took about a month for this problem I am detailing above to start happening. It maybe a corrupt file loaded from the backup into the new iMac causing this problem. Best answer I can think of on my own???

Can't add files to HD after upgrading to Lion

hi,
i just upgraded to lion and now i can't drag and drop files from my desktop onto my macintosh HD icon. i get the error popup window "The item (filename) can't be moved because "Macintosh HD" can't be modified" then I need to click on the "Authenticate" button on the popup window, type in my password for the system and then it will add it to my mac hd.
i'm sure i just have something locked or set wrong, but i've never gotten this error before.
does anyone know what i need to change or do so i don't have to authenticate each time i want to drag/drop something onto my HD?
thanks

thanks for your reply, after running repair permissions several times (which was a good idea because several were corrupt) but did no good for this issue, i went to look at the permissions for the hd and everything looked good, system had read/write anyone else had read only. i added myself (my computer administrator name) with read/write permission and now everything works as it should

Might be corrupted audio preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Click Go then move both .plist files from the Audio folder to the Trash.
com.apple.audioDeviceSettings.pllist
com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference ...

I have once instlled a kind of antivirus, but i have removed it from programs to trash.
Gotcha, Bingo, Bazinga!
Moving the antivirus to trash does not delete or disable some parts of the application.
How to remove the remaining parts of the application depends on the application as the different AV-Systems place there parts at different places and use different preference files.
At first check if the AV is still listed in the startup items (System Settings - Accounts - your account - startup items) and remove them from that list.

Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/{multiple}.settings

Every time I shutdown JSE it shows a couple of ugly messages saying:
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/classes.settings in C:\Documents and Settings\Joost\.jstudio\Ent8\config"
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/sources.settings in C:\Documents and Settings\Joost\.jstudio\Ent8\config"
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/watches.settings in C:\Documents and Settings\Joost\.jstudio\Ent8\config"

"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/threads.settings in C:\Documents and Settings\Joost\.jstudio\Ent8\config"
Assuming that JSE had some problems to access my profile (oh, how I *hate* Windows...) I wanted to change the JSE working directory to C:\Projects\Java Studio Enterprise, but I can't find the place within the Tools|Options where I can set that. Help!
Regards,
Joost

Thanks for the reply. I added the -userdir option, and now it complains:
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/ComponentPalette.settings" in C:\Projects\Java Studio Enterprise\config"
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/CollaborationExplorer.settings" in C:\Projects\Java Studio Enterprise\config"
Hmmm, it seems to me that - although the number of error messages has been reduced - JSE is still not very happy about something. It would be nice if it was a bit more precise in its problem description.

Joost

Cannot delete files from my ipod shuffle!!!

Pressing return will get past this screen as there is a button at the bottom right of iTunes which you likely cannot see.
Set your screen resolution to at least 1024x768 to see this button.

After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "startup dusk cannot be portioned or restored to a single partition"?

After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". Anytone?

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

You can open Word files in Pages by default without any problem. Select one of the Word files by clicking once on it in Finder. Press cmd-i to Get Info on the file. In the bottom half of the window that opens, is Open with:. Below that click on the drop down box and select Pages.app. Then click on Change All... and confirm the "Are you sure... " warning. Now, all Word files will open in Pages.

How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again? After upgrading to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.

How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again?
After upgrading MBA to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.
I've searched and can not find a solution to the problem that's being encountered.

Yeap that all makes sense now.
Do you only have the current backup showing in the TM display?? Won't it fill in the rest?
Over wireless are you waiting for the indexing to finish.. ??
Previous backup may not show for a couple of hours.
Long short of it.. Mavericks version of TM is a pain.
Sometimes it is easier to completely ignore the TM backup and do the restore manually.
I have posted the details here. See if this helps.

Cannot eject USB HDD that is being used for Time Machine after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading to Lion from SL, I have had only one issue. Amazing! Great job Apple with making the process smooth, but my issue is this. Ever since the upgrade, I cannot eject the external USB HDD that I use for Time Machine. I get the following error:
The disk "Time Machine" wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it. To eject the disk immediately, click the Force Eject button. There is the little spinning fan and the message "Trying to eject" and then the fan disappears and where it said, "To eject the disk immediately..." it now says "You can try to eject the disk again or click Force Eject to eject it immediately." I can click Force Eject and it will work, but seems like there is an issue that needs to be addressed. Any thoughts anyone?

Ok, I think there's a slightly better way, but try this:
Open the Terminal app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Be very careful with this app. It's a direct link into UNIX, the underpinnings of OSX, but without the protections of OSX.
In Terminal, the prompt looks like this: <Computer Name>:~ <your name>$
(where <your name> is your short user name). It's followed by a non-blinking block cursor.
Copy the following after the prompt:
lsof |grep
and leave a space. Then drag the Backups.backupdb folder on the TM drive from a Finder window into the Terminal window (Terminal will convert that into a "path").
Press Return.
You should get a list of geeky stuff; but the first thing on the next line should be the process that's using the drive (Finder in the sample), followed by another prompt:
