Cannot delete old apple device software update file from trash

I restored a new iPad from an old one and now there is an .ipsw file with the is08 8.0.2 update and I cannot delete it even tried command secure delete and option secure delete. The file is grayed out and says it is in use by another application. Please help me get rid of this.
Oh and not sure this is related but I cannot sync my iPad now, it says error 1723.
Thanks.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cannot delete old podcast episodes after updating to ios 8

    The usual way of manually deleting old podcast episodes, swiping right to left and then selecting the red delete button, appears to be no longer available. Do I need to fix something or is there a new way of doing this function?

    Have you tried swiping left to right?
    Try going to Settings>General>Usage>Podcasts  and select the the podcast you want to delete and tap edit in in upper left and delete the podcast.

  • Moving directory with Software Update files from one server to another

    Hi guys,
    I have recently bought a Mac Mini to move on it my test system Mac OS 10.9 with Server 3.0, running on VM.
    My question is:
    Is it possible to move the Software Update packages/directory from one server to another, so I don't need to wait a whole week to have them all downloaded from the Apple servers?
    I assume, if replace all the Software update fodder it is not going to work as there are some kind of index files elsewhere that will not accept that change.
    I haven’t tried any migration assistant as don’t want to replicate the server.
    Any suggestions, please?

    hi Lucas,
    i just stumbled onto this post of yours while searching for solutions for a somehow related issue that's kept me thinking.
    your post isn't new, yet it received no answers... maybe you found a solution already.
    in case you haven't, a possible hint might come from https://discussions.apple.com/message/20478878#20478878
    for the record, i've installed os x server 3.0 on mvrx 10.9 on a 4-year old Intel Core 2 Duo mac mini with 500GB disks.
    in my case, it's the almost 200GB of update files wasting what's left of my storage real estate to press for a solution.
    tried to do what's suggested here, seems to work fine on my system, too. hope this helps.

  • How do I delete the iOS6 software update files from my iPhone?

    My iPhone 4 automatically downloaded the iOS6 update. I have no intention to update because of the change to the maps. I use the maps everyday for work. Every feauture and detail is extremely important, so I don't appreciate Google Maps being replaced with a broken, inferior mess. I have a 16GB model and the files take up 2GB of space in 'Other Data'. I just went through my phone clearing data since the phone was full, and now it's filled up again with a 2GB file...
    Is there a way to delete the downloaded update, or am I going to be forced to update if I want to remove the files?

    Go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores
    Click the Apple ID at the top then click Sign out on the pop up menu.
    If there are any apps that the old user has downloaded on your iPhone still you will need to delete them as it will ask for the password whenever you try to up date them

  • Desktop Manager asks for "insert BB device software updater disk"

    When open DM (v 5.0) a message "insert BB device software updater disk" for a file named "ApploaderWebSL-Upgrade[1].msi". I cant find it....help needed....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK. Can you uninstall 5.0 first. Next download and save the DM 5.0 exe file somewhere on your computer. Instead of double-clicking the file to install it, first extract the contents of the file to a folder on your computer. You can use any zipping program (i.e.. Winzip, Winrar, 7-zip) to right click the EXE file and choose Extract To. On my computer I created a folder called "Desktop Manager" and extracted all of the contents into that. Now you can go into the folder that contains the extracted contents and run the "BlackBerrySetup.exe" file to install the software.
    If you just double click on the EXE file then the software extracts all required files to a temporary folder on your computer. After the installation is complete then the temporary files get deleted. So the main benefit to doing it above is that all of the installation files will always be located in a folder on your computer. So if you ever have to reinstall, repair, or find an MSI file that the program needs you don't have to download the software again.
    Let me know if that works out.

    Installed FF 16, 17, 18. Will not open in normal administrator login, nor with "Run as administrator" but will in W7 safe mode. Changed permissions (had to do it in W7 Safe Mode, normal login would not allow (logged in as an administrator) could not delete the Mozilla files in normal login. On rare occasions, with a new install, I could get it to open once, then not again. Searched the reg for any mention of Mozilla or FF and cleaned it. Tried FF safe mode, no luck. Checked permissions after taking ownership and propagating full ownership rights to all FF files, many reboots, no luck. Chrome, IE and SeaMonkey work fine. Using a fairly new install of W7 Professional 64 bit, on a Dell Optiplex 990 i7, 16GB ram. Had the same problem with another user on an identical box. No problem on other computers No other program problems.

    I should have been a bit more definitive.
    I have uninstalled FF, with the windows uninstaller, by manually cleaning the files and the registry of any mention of FF or Mozilla, and by running Revo uninstaller - always rebooting and checking to see if the files are indeed gone. (I have set windows file preferences to see all files, including system files.) I have run 4 AV/malware scanners and found nothing but a few tracking cookies. I download, from Mozilla.org, (http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2018.0.exe) a fresh copy of the Firefox Setup 18.0.exe each time and install when logged in as an administrator and choose "Run as Administrator". I get the same result each time I try to open Firefox. Consistently does not open, gives the error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." This happens even when I run the .exe file from the x86 program directory. I have also attempted to run in XPsp3 compatibility mode to no avail,
    I make the following assumptions:
    The system is not infected
    I am doing clean installs
    There is no existing trace of FF on the system
    I get identical results on one other W7 64 bit Optiplex 990 system with an i7 processor and 16 GB or ram.
    I CAN run in windows safe mode with networking.
    I have no other software or hardware issues.

  • Device software log files

    Are there any log files created when you perform a device software update using the BB Desktop Manager?
    I've searched my PC for anything with the date of the upgrade but cannot find anything relating to this.

  • When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I get a different error message if I try to uninstall it.

    When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've been able to uninstall all Apple products except iTunes as I get this error message: "The Installer has insufficent privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\i Tunes\Acknowledgments.rtf." I've had the iTunes on my laptop for a year and a half with no problems until now.

    Any suggestions please?

  • Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.

    NOTE:  My access is through terminal services. 
    I received a new server to load my IBM Rational products.  I was able to load ClearQuest, Req Pro and ClearCase with no problems.  Because this machine is being used as a web interface for the products, I needed to also load Crystal Reports XI along with the embedded report server.  Well, I got everything installed but the embedded reports server. 
    On my attempt to double click on the file that would extract and install the addins needed I received the error message:
    Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
    After some testing I see that if I select any executable associated with installing an application, I get this error.
    I've been searching all over the internet for a solution to this proble.  Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do to fix it?

    Ok this will be a long post, and for starters I wanted to point something out to everyone - there is two separate discussions going on in this thread. On one side you have a discussion about servers and people using thin clients or Citrix having this error
    code and changing Internet Explorer to resolve this conflict. Then on the other side all the stand alone home users with XP and Vista and 7 trying to figure out what is going on with their install that has the exact same error code. Microsoft in their infinite
    wisdom has given this error code to relate to multiple different errors hence the confusion.
    Now here is my story, with out a resolution yet.
    Ok, so I ran into a real nasty trojan virus, that is now resolved and gone. However, when I went into the process of being able to resolve this issue a sticky byproduct was this permissions issue. This is how it happens, I download a video with Firefox or
    any browser Opera, IE whatever. Then after I have downloaded it into the proper location I can see it within the downloads list from the browser, should I double click to launch the video with WMV it will fail with that error "Windows cannot access the
    specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". However, should I open the directory and then launch from the true download location, rather in the list of the files within the browser download list it
    will launch fine. This is the problem I can utilize the programs directly launching them from explorer, however should I try and launch a program from inside another program it will fail to launch.
    This is a Vista 64 bit installation, and I am pretty tech savvy individual. What I have tried thus far is to take owner ship of the directory since trusted installer was the owner previously. After I had done that I went into the permissions of the exe and
    sought to make sure that the file was open for everyone to be able to modify and have full control - it was. After that I also tried launching the browsers as admin privileges to see if it would still launch. It will not it refuses to allow calls to this directory.
    That being said it is also a big problem when I use Corel DVD Moviefactory, because this program is trying to launch other programs from this directory to run. So, I need to figure out why is it that I am not able to have programs make calls to this directory
    and try and launch exe files and fail, yet the permissions are fine and I can launch them from directly clicking on the item in a directory?
    Further clarification as to what happens:
    Firefox downloads to Harvester\downloads
    All my pictures, movies, executable, rar/zip, reside in this directory "downloads"
    In the browser Firefox there is a "downloads" [contrl+J] list that shows what you have downloaded through the browser
    All of these items are able to double click and execute from this list with out having to navigate to the "downloads" directory
    When executing a WMV file it will fail and error out with the "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item" error.
    However, navigating to this directory will allow me to launch all programs with out any problem, the difference is I am launching from the file rather than through a program making a call to the x86 directory to launch the file. If I have an item that doesn't
    require a program to launch from the x86 directory it will launch ok through Firefox, ex InfanView, HJsplit, etc.
    This is a problem with other programs making calls to external programs residing in the x86 directory like Corel Moviefactory 7. While running it will make the same error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the
    appropriate permission to access the item" when trying to make a new DVD, because it utilizes something in that directory an external program.
    This happens with Opera as well, don't know about IE I don't use it.
    What I have done thus far:
    Removed my firewall that was MS native firewall
    Removed my anti-virus and malware software - AVG, MalwareBytes, Windows Defender, Windows Security Essentials, Spybot Search and Destroy, Spy cop, and a few others
    Went and took ownership of the directory
    Tried registry hacks
    Altered AVG to exclude the (x86) directory
    Re-installed AVG and MalwareBytes to see if I can repair the file
    Shared the (x86) directory for everyone and inherited the permissions
    Tried CLI restoring of default permissions
    Tried to make changes in safe mode still shut down.
    This is where I am now....waiting for a scan to end to reboot and check to see if I was able to make any progress.

  • "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item" Why?

    Whenever i try to access any folder on my computer(Windows 7), it tells me "Windows
    cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item",
    this happens even for My
    Computer and Control Panel. It's driving me nuts! I'll be honest here, I was trying to uninstall Visual
    Studio 2013 Communityfrom my computer by going to Programs
    and Features but for some reason, it was getting stuck at "Configuring
    Your System". After trying it numerous times, I went to the visual studio installation directory, and removed
    the installation files from there. I even removed the files from the C:\Program
    Data folder, then i went back to Programs
    and Features and tried to remove the listing there, but I got a dialog box saying "you
    don't have sufficient access to uninstall visual studio" . I googled this problem and found this  solution
    (http://superuser.com/a/174198)
     then i tried using the solution, I used SubinAcl and
    changed the registry permissions as mentioned in the solution and ended up like this!
    All the access permissions are set correctly (that's what I can make out...)

  • Can't sync after device software update

    I updated the device software on my 8530 to version 5.0.0.1000. Since then I have been unable to synchronize Organizer data between my 8530  and Outlook (2003) on my PC (Windows Vista) using the BlackBerry Desktop software (version 6.0.0.43). I keep getting the error message "Error encountered: Error code - 0x80040fb3. Check documentation". After clicking OK I get the message "Unable to complete synchronization".
    Media data synchronizes okay.
    Also, after the device software update, whenever I turn off and turn on my 8530 I get the message "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException"
    Help appreciated!

    We have been down similar paths...    I upgraded the OS to 5.0.0.983 last night and it didn't go well.  It was getting the "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException" error. 
    I wiped the whole BB and started fresh.  Then I was getting 0x80040fb3 errors for Contact sync'ing.
    I have ~700 contacts in Outlook and they sync'd fine. I went through the sync details screen and found a couple that once I deleted them, it would get to the end of the sync process and then give me that "Unable to Complete Synchronization" error.  In utter frustration, I moved all the contacts to another contact folder and created a "Test Test" contact.  It still had the unable to complete error - even with just ONE contact?  Anyone have any ideas?

  • Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hi, i'm a Windows 7 user of HP Pavilion dm4.
    It has been weeks since iTunes works properly on my computer. I'm here to seek help from professionals or people who had encountered it before. Whenever I double-click on iTunes, it prompt me a message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." But another thing is, i'm the only adminstrator on this laptop. If I don't have permission, who has? Sigh.
    I had tried uninstalling and installing iTunes from official website many times but to no avail.

    Hi,
    Also, please make sure your current user is a administrator account and have permission to open the file.
    Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
    Click the Security tab.
    Under Group or User names, click your name to see the permissions you have.
    Have you installed 3rd software in you computer? please turn off them temporarily to check if this issue still occurs.

  • "Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file.You may not have the appropiate permission

    We subscribe to a service called "Vault" which provies its documents in encrypted PDFs using the etd format. As well as Digitial Editions we have Acrobat Reader 9 installed on our PCs (Windows XP,SP2). When a user tries to download any of the documents they are seeing the following error:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file.You may not have the appropiate permissions to access the item."
    However, if they open Digitial Edtions (or have had it open at some point in the past) before they download the document it opens without any problems. We use ZEN works to manage our PCs, and we use something called Dynamic Local User (DLU) which means that when a students logs into a PC the user's local Windows account is created on the fly, and then when they log out it is then deleted. This means that they are effectively using Digitial Edtions for the first time everytime they log into a PC.
    As anyone else seen the above error? Also, is there a way of stopping it? What does Digital Editions do the first time it is opened? Are there registry keys that we can add, which emulates the opening of Digital Editions so it doesn't have to be opened first before we can download the Vault documents?
    Any advice/tips would be most welcome.
