Cannot delete folders from favorites library, script error

version 21. It hangs up every time I try to delete a folder from bookmarks. I'm working in the show all bookmarks window. I get this error and it hangs. Eventually, sometimes, it's still deleting, but not before hanging for minutes.
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: resource://gre/modules/PlacesUtils.jsm:2292

Thanks for your reply. Here's the situation.
I did follow the instructions and deleted places.sqlite and the other 2 files suggested.
That "fixed" the problem, kind of. You see, I had imported bookmarks from Chrome and that seems to be what caused the problem. After I deleted the files and reopened FF, then the Chrome import was gone. And I was able to delete or copy paste in bookmarks manager.
The problem is that I had exported FF bookmarks to Chrome and was going to use it as primary. Then when that wasn't working out, I was going to import Chrome bookmarks, as that's where i've been saving to. Now, my newest bookmarks in in Chrome, but importing seems to mess up FF. This is what I need to work around, somehow. Or else stick with Chrome as primary.
Any suggestions?

Cannot Delete Folders from USB drive connected to Airport Extreme

When I try to delete files from the usb drive connected to my airport I get "cannot remove folder, the directory is not empty.
This only happens for some of the folders that are empty. No problem deleting any files whether they were created before or after I setup the airport. The folders that won't delete were created after I hooked up the drive to the airport however, I can make new folders and delete them no problem now. The ones that don't delete say "read only" in the properties. when I uncheck read only it reverts back to read only automatically.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

Tried what you suggested last night - no change. What is odd, though, is that I can create a new folder on the external USB HDD (through the Hub) and copy a file into it. While I can then close Finder, re-open and see the Folder and file I copied, I still can't see all the data that is currently stored on the drive...Is this a delete and re-copy scenario?
Thanks!

Cannot delete file from external hard drive (error code 36) in Finder, but Terminal is ok

I have a relatively new Macbook Pro Retina 15" and have a Western Digital 1 TB Passport. I've been using the passport for about a year now without any problems on older Macbooks in my house. I used to be able to read and write to this drive no problem. I am using the Paragon NTFS for Mac software in order to read and write to the NTFS drive. When I navigate through the drive in Finder, if I try to create a new folder, I do not have a problem. If I try to delete that folder I just created, I get this error:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “untitled folder” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)
The folder has nothing in it whatsoever. I just created it. But if I go to Terminal and I run
rm -rf "untitled folder"
This works fine. Why is Terminal acting different than Finder? This does not happen on my other Macbooks. Thanks in advance.

Thanx for such qucik reply!!! The pages were great, it had an answer for my problem, but unfortunately it also involved me dealing with it only on the MacIntosh HD itself, not on mounted external drive I suppose... So it didn't work they say that there is an icon in the left corner indicating locked folder - I don't see any icon on it. It says you can untick the box to unlock the folder - there is no tick to be unticked. Finally, they say that if I don't have permition or rights I cannot delete it. But how do i change permittion which already says that i can read and write in it? So everything appears to be normal only I cannot delete it. there is not even any warnig telling me I don't have enough rights, it just requires the password and after me typing it in it makes the sound of scraping paper but does nothing more. I aslo had some problems with emptying Trash after being seemingly succesful with one file and had got so far to have them appear in the Trash (no clue how this one actully got there though..) I followd the advice and emptied the Trash with Terminal. The Folder is still there but it shows 0 Kb... So far so good BUT: It is still on the external drive, so I obviously only managed to copy it into the Trash!!! Phew, innit a bit too tight to poor owners, this macbook?? I want my rights back!

Cannot delete mail from ipod touch & "syncing error"

I get this error message "unable to move message" and "the message could not be moved to the mailbox trash". When I tap on settings and mail,contacts,calendars I get "accounts are currently syncing. Please help.

Not possible, that would defeat the convenience of webmail/touch syncing. If your concern is security (ie, someone finds or steals your touch), set the touch to Autolock in Settings. With this feature enabled, someone would need to enter a password to see your email (or do anything else with your touch).

Error while deleting image from picture library

Facing issue in deleting pictures from picture library from a site collection created in SharePoint 2010 mode in SharePoint 2013. Though we can open the picture and delete it from 'Delete Item' from the ribbon, we cannot delete the pictures from Actions
-> Delete option.
Here is the exception
Level:Medium Category: General
Application error when access /_layouts/DeleteMu.aspx, Error=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.DeltaPage.LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.DeleteMultipleItemPage.<LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium>b__0()     at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.LoadViewStateHelper.LoadViewStateOrNull(Func`1 loadPageStateFunc)
at System.Web.UI.Page.LoadAllState()     at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

Hi Shivayogi,
Whether you migrate SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013, and kept in 2010 mode.
If yes, please create a new site collection, then test again, compare the result.
Whether other libraries could work correctly.
Whether this issue occurres for 2013 mode site collections.
Best Regards,

Cannot delete users from the Central Management Console

I cannot delete users from the Central Management Console. I'm logged in to Enterprise as administrator but still get the following error:
There was an error while writing data back to the server: Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Delete objects' (id - 22) for 'koberg' (id - 725415). Please contact your system or permissions administrator if you require this right.
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Oops, my mistake, sorry. Ok, so the Administrator cannot delete user koberg.
Check top level:
Logon to CMC, browse to Home > Settings and select the Rights tab. These are your top level settings. Factory default will show only Administrators and Everyone. Select the Net Access "Advanced" for the Administrators group. NB: Do not select these group names links - they will jump you out of the top level! On the Advanced rights page, ensure the right to "Delete objects" is explicitly granted.
Then set for the Users top level folder:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. Select the "Rights" button. Again - NB: Do not select these group names links - they will jump you out of the Users top level folder! Set the Administrators group to "Full Control". Save.
That should be all you need. However, there is a possibility the previous admin was busy setting security not only at the account level, but on groups so we need to verify the user:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. In the User list, select koberg. In the koberg account page, select the Rights tab. If the Administrators is not set to (Inherited Rights), make it so, and when you select the "Update" button, you should see the Net Access update to "Full Control". If this is the case, you should follow these steps on each account and accomplish this.
And if you still can't delete it, verify the groups:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. In the User list, select koberg. In the koberg account page, select the "Member of" tab. Note all groups koberg is a member of. Then in the CMC, browse to Home, and select Groups. Select the name hyperlink for the group(s) that koberg belongs to. On the group page, select the Rights tab, and ensure the Administrators have (Inherited Rights) - Full Control on all of these, also. If not, set it.
Finally, I know you inherited this, but let's overview some basics of simplifying your deployment administration. Follow these guidelines, and your administration life will be so much easier.
1. The Everyone group should never have any subgroups. Ever. All accounts on the system are a member of the Everyone group. Adding subgroups to the Everyone group is redundant.
2. For simplicity's sake, Application level access should be set on the Adminstrators Group, and the Everyone group. I know there are customers who add groups to application rights. I don't understand why users would have an account on the system if they are not allowed access to InfoView, but it's your system.
3. From a report object perspective, the Everyone group should be set at the top level to "No Access". This will result in them having no rights on anything at all. You break this inheritance at the application level to give them access to InfoView and other apps. On folders and objects, you ADD groups, then assign (ADD) rights as desired.
4. If you can help it, never explicitly deny a right to any user or group for any object or application. Explicitly deny overrides any other setting. If a user belongs to group A and group B, and group A is explicitly denied a right, you can explicitly grant it for group B or the user all day long, and it will still be denied. Always try to put yourself in the position of adding groups/users, and adding rights, then inheriting as far down the folder tree as you can.

Delete file from iTunes Library and Computer

I convert a lot of my own TV shows for playback on iPad/iPod touch. Once I have watched the show I delete it from my library.
It used to be that when I deleted from my library, I would get a message asking if I wanted to delete from library only or from library AND computer. It does not ask me this anymore.
I went into preferences and clicked on "reset all warnings" but that didn't fix the problem. Any tips on how to restore this functionality?

What I mean is I don't want an extra copy of the file made when I add something to my library. I already have the file where I want it.
I did try your suggestion, and just as I suspected, it made an extra copy in a different location on my computer, then when I deleted it, yes, it asked me if I wanted to move it to the recycle bin, but it only deleted the copy, not the original.
I'm marking your response as helpful, as I can use it as a workaround if I can't find a better solution, but I have never done it this way before. I've always had full control over which folders my shows were in, and only one copy. And when I've deleted, it has deleted the original file, not just a copy of it.

Cannot delete songs from iPod when in manual update mode

Hi
I am using iTunes 7 and i'm trying to delete some songs just from my iPod and i have always used the manual update option.
The problem is when i go into the songs on my iPod and go into a playlist and try to delete the songs within a playlist it won't let me. BUT when i search for those same songs within my iPod library (library shows all songs on the iPod) i can delete them.
So my problem is i cannot delete songs within playlists just from my iPod. I know that deleting the playlist on the left hand side navigation bar will still keep the songs there, it will only delete the actual playlist.
Also when i select a song(s) the edit menu is all greyed out except for copy.
Can anyone help please.
iPod 5th Generation + iTunes 7 Windows XP Pro

Try using the key combination Shift-Delete when deleting from a song from a playlist, this will delete it from the library as well.

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried all solutions using Itunes and it doesn't delete them from iphone

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried the ITunes solution and it does not delete the photos. Try a second time and Sync doesn't even start

I see the photos tab and "My Pictures" folder shows. Sync is unselected. It asks if I want to delete the photos when I click on sync and I said yes but it didn't work. It does seem that some photos are removed based on available storage left (decreases). If I select individual folders, subfolders of "My Pictures" then hit Sync deselected Sync doesn't even start.

Deleting photos from the Library and Disk

When I delete photos from my iPhoto 5 library because I don't want the photo anymore and would like to free up disk space, it is easy enough to do. However when I look in my Library folders, the image still exists in the Month/Day folders. I had to review all of those folder to find the photos I just deleted and delete them again, at that point I gained the disk space I was hoping for. Is there a more straight forward way to delete the photo from the disk at the same time you are deleting it from the library? Ideally some fancy keyboard combo.

hi Blake,
images you delete in the iPhoto library are not deleted from hard drive UNTIL you empty iPhoto's trash bin. iPhoto keeps the image from your view in the library but it is still sitting safely in the dated folder in the finder, just in case you change your mind. When you are absolutely sure you want to delete the image go to the menu bar and hit iPhoto/Empty trash (there is also a keyboard shortcut listed there. I think it is shift command Delete.)
The trash bin is all the way on the bottom of the source column.
You can control click on the trash icon and empty the trash that way too.
Make sure you empty the trash often and don't let too many images pile up there. iPhoto has been known to choke on trying to trash too many images at a time.

HT201317 how to delete photos from photo library iphone4s

how to delete photos from photo library iphone4s?

Nope I am using the same Photo Library, not the camera roll and by the looks of it you don't have your iphone updated to the newst version because I have an extra field in the bottom bar for photostreaming.
When I go in any of the above folders I can remove pictures as well as you can see in the pictures below!?
Hope this helps...

I cannot delete albums from iPhoto

I cannot delete albums from iPhoto.any advice?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

1. How do I delete everything from the library?; 2. How do I delete everything without effecting the albums on facebook?

1. How do I delete everything from the library?; 2. How do I delete everything without effecting the albums on facebook?

To delete everything from the iPhoto Library select all photos in the "Photos" view and press the "delete ⌫" key.
You cannot delete your photos without effecting the Facebook albums, if you are syncing your iPhoto library albums to Facebook. See Terence Devlin's post here:
Re: deleting from iphoto but not from facebook
The only way to delete photos from your iPhoto library without removing them from your Facebook albums would be to sign out of Facebook first by deleting the Facebook account from your iPhoto Preferences:
From the iPhoto Help:
Important: If you delete photos and albums from iPhoto, they’re deleted from your Facebook page, along with any posted comments. You can’t undo this action. To delete photos and albums from iPhoto without deleting them from Facebook, first remove the Facebook account from iPhoto. Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts. Click to select the Facebook account (below the Accounts subhead on the left), and then click the Delete button in the lower-left corner of the Accounts pane.

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone. I need to delete a playlist to make room for a new one, but Delete does not even show up as an option (nor does the delete key on my keyboard delete anything.

Could you possibly be more vague?
If you want help you have to provide details, not just "I can't synch my phone". Why can't you synch? What error messages do you get? Give us something.

I tried taking some songs off my phone, I deleted them from the library on my computer but they're still showing up on my phone?

I tried to take some songs off my phone that I no longer wanted. I unchecked them just in case I wanted them back on later, but they would not remove. So I just deleted them from my library on my computer, but for some reason they are still showing up on my phone with no option to delete. When I plug my phone into my computer they're not showing up in the library anywhere. How do I get these songs to come off my phone?

Try going to Settings>Music on your phone, turn off iTunes Match, then turn it back on to let it re-load your Match library. Also confirm that Show All Music is turned on.
