CD Burn folders on Desktop won't trash (Error code -61)

Hello,
I have burned three CDs and now I have three folders on my desktop with the Burn icon on them. When I try to trash them, I get the following message:
Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (Error code -61).
I can't even move them to another folder so they won't take up screen real estate.
Any suggestions?
Take care,
Hector

I've been having this same problem. Been driving me nuts! Just figured it out though... Choose the Burn Folder --> Get info --> Click the "Locked" box. --> Then unclick the "Locked" box --> close the Get Info window and trash your burn folder.
So basically what you're doing is locking, then unlocking the folder, then trashing it.
Hope this works for you, I've just tried it on two different computers and it worked.

    I had the same problem - tried all sorts but nothing worked. Eventually I used a tool called Trash It! which did the job (though apparently it is only to be used as a last resort).

  • Can't write to desktop. I get Error Code -36.

    I recently had a battery problem where my black MacBook unexpected powered off in the middle what I was doing. After restart, I noticed right away that the desktop image was different, and I couldn't change it. A call to Apple got my battery replaced, and the tech support person recommended that I do an archive and reinstall. That helped with some of the problems I was having, but a lingering issue I'm having is that I cannot write to the Desktop. Whenever I try to copy to the Desktop, I get an error with the yellow ! triangle reading, "The Finder cannot complete ther operation because some data in "Filename" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
    On what I suspect is a related note, I have not been able to turn off Filevault due to a file read/write error.
    I am othewise able to use my computer, and another account I have on the same machine seems not to be affected.
    I would hugely appreciate any help anyone can offer.

  • Powerpoint attachment won't open: Error code 10660

    Hi all,
    I have recently downloaded a .pps (PowerPoint as opposed to Keynote) attachment from one of my correspondents, and on trying to open the attachment, I get the following message:
    The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code - 10660).
    Is this the fault of my iWork software (given that I have temporarily 'dumped' the trial iWork '09 into the trash) or a system failure? I'm usually able to open .pps files.
    Any uncomplicated assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables (x64) won't install error code 2381

    Hi, i'm trying to install some dev tools but this redistributable package won't install... it keep getting the 2381 error code and i'm trying different ways to install it. I've tried the compatibility mode, and ofc i'm running it as admin always.
    I just installed VS Express 2013 for Desktop, but i need the 64 version of this libs so i need to install apart.
    I'm under Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 64 bits. The windows update system is working ok, there's no errors on the updates, everyting is updated ok. I've also run the sfc /scannow, no problems.
    I need this to install win64 openssl. Help plz!

    1. Most probably the problems stems from missing/wrong framework 3.5x.
    2. On the other way C++ redistributable is compatible up to W 7, so the compatibility mode may or need not work for you.

  • Im burning a DVD and keep getting the error code

    How do I fix this error code plugincoder error: no plugin DLLs so that my DVD will burn.

    janellew
    Please confirm...Besides, doing a Search for the folder using the computer's Search function....
    When you went to Libraries/Documents/, you did not find the folder with your personalized Folder Name?
    I did not think that the burn to folder folder was a hidden folder but I checked nonetheless. I did not find it to be a hidden folder so
    the Folder Option Show Hidden, Files, Folders, and Drivers is apparently not a factor in you not finding the saved folder from burn to folder process.
    In Edit Menu/Preferences/General, there is a preference that relates to Hardware Acceleration and Intel HD Graphics 2000 and higher. Determine
    if it make a difference if that preference has or has not a check mark next to it.
    If we have not already, let us delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, and, if necessary, the whole 13 Folder in which it exists.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    13.0
    and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. And, if necessary, delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere
    Elements Prefs file exists. Now this one involves hidden folders. So, be sure to enable the Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives".
    Let us determine if any of the above has any impact on the situation.
    You do have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 13/13.1...is that correct?

  • I am trying to burn a CD from a playlist in iTunes. I set everything up, and then when it tries to burn, it cancels the burn right away, and gives me the error code: 4251. What am I doing wrong?

    Okay, so I wanted to burn a CD to play on players in the house. The songs on my playlist are from CDs that I own and imported into my iTunes. Here are the steps I've taken:
    1. I created a playlist
    2. Selected File > Burn Playlist to Disc...
    3. My Burn Settings are as follows: Maximum Possible Speed (I have tried all the other speeds as well with the same result), Audio CD (No gaps between songs), Use Sound Check is selected, Include CD Text is selected (I have also tried unselecting these two options).
    4. Then I clicked Burn
    5. Within a couple of seconds "Cancelling Burn" shows up in the window at the top of the screen, and a box pops up that says: The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4251).
    I have tried different CDs, I have changed all the settings in the Burn Settings box, and I get the same result over and over again. I researched the error 4251, and it refers to a problem with importing songs from a CD. This is totally irrelevant since I'm not trying to import, I'm trying to burn. This is a blank CD, and it is a CD-R. These CDs are off a tower I purchased less than a month ago, and have had absolutely no problem burning other things to these CDs. I really don't want to have to re-import these songs to Windows Media Player or another application just so I can burn what I want onto a CD, but this is almost the point I am at.
    iTunes certainly isn't helping me much at this point, and I would appreciate any feedback into what I am possibly doing wrong in trying to create a CD.

    I have Windows 7 on a Dell.  Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2).  Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode.  This has worked for me.  I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc.  These ideas did not work.  Compatability mode works.

  • Itunes won't open error code 5,87

    My itunes was working fine, and then I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and it won't open. It keeps saying "Dr. Watson was unable to attach to the process. It is possible that process exited before Dr. Watson could attach to it. Windows 2000 returned error code=5...access is denied"...before it said error code 87...now it says error code 5...I've tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling but it doesn't work! Please help! I desperately want my Itunes back!

    okay ... that rules out various problems with DrWatson that i was able to find in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
    let's try something aimed at trying to work out what the nature of the itunes problem is (the one that DrWatson is having trouble with).
    try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
