Core Services and Boot X "duplicates" -- can't trash

I am cleaning up various files and hard drives on my G4 tower.
I'm running OS 10.4.11.
I had a complete duplicate of the Applications folder on a 2nd Hard Drive.
I put it into Trash and selected Secure Empty Trash.
Most of the items in the folder were trashed okay.
But I got a warning window about "Core Services" being in use.
Yet I still have a folder of it in the System folder in the main Hard Drive.
There is (1) file inside of "Core Services" called Boot X.
I unlocked it to help the process -- but still no success with Trash.
Any suggestions to eliminate the duplicate "Core Services" folder.
Thanks,
Dan

It worked!
Thank you.
I actually Googled Mac + Trash + Option Key to get the correct procedure.
There are several possible methods for "forcing" Trash to empty.
Using the Option key seems to be the easiest by far.
Thanks, again
Dan

Sorry, but I don't understand your question. If you are questioning the stated expiration date of your warranty, when did you buy the iPhone and from what dealer? You may wish to post in your native language if you are uncomfortable posting in English.

Information on enabled services and which ones I can safely disable

Where is a good source of infomation for all of the enabled services (what they do, etc) and which ones I can safely disable. i.e. seaport.

Opt back in and then immediately back out (yes I know this sounds daft)
Leave you hub on 24/7 and it should deactivate as said with in 48 hours.
Don't reset the hub after doing this, as it always puts BTWifi back on!
fwiw, you should see this on the hub event log as the hub gets the btwifi disabled update

Why the duplicate Applications folders and which one(s) can I trash?

I've tried to disregard the duplicate Applications folders on my HD and double Mail programs in my dock but would like to trash any I don't need (I'm the only user of my machine). I see that there's an Applications folder in my HD icon (under "Devices"); an Applications folder in my Finder window (under "Places"), and an Applications folder accessible by clicking on my name in the Finder window (also under "Places"). Although it appears there are 3 Applications folders / Mail programs, a search in Finder suggests there are actually 2: one is traceable to HD (hard disk); the other is traceable to my name. Which of these is "safe" to trash? (I don't understand why my Finder must contain two Applications folders--frequently resulting in the appearance of duplicate Mail programs in my dock. Any clarification/suggestions appreciated. Cap

Thanks. That helps me with the concept, and I see that there can only be one "real" Applications folder which is under Devices and labeled Macintosh HD. Perhaps what I'm trying to say is that the below that, in the Places area, the programs in the "Applications" of my "Home Folder" (the little house followed by my name) don't agree with the programs in the "Applications" folder right underneath it. The latter Applications Folder agrees with the one on my Hard Drive, it has the new iTunes program, etc. whereas the programs in the Applications Folder of my Home Folder are different (the old iTunes program, etc.). I guess I'm saying that the Applications Folders of my Hard Drive and of my Home Folder are at odds. I'm simply going to try following your idea--drag the Applications Folder from my Home Folder onto the desktop, replace it with the Applications Folder from my Hard Drive, then go through the eternity of trashing the old Home Folder Applications Folder
that will by now be copied on my Desktop. (Wish I new of a faster way of trashing the many programs.) I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again, Cap

Web Services and Powershell error: Method can not be reflected

I'm trying to use the VSM 9.1 Web Service API with Powershell, however when I run the New-WebServiceProxy cmdlet it throws an error, the inner exception being "Method InfraAPI.KnowledgeUpdate can not be reflected.", and as such I'm unable to proceed any further with development.
Here's the Powershell output:
PS C:\PS> new-webserviceproxy -uri http://vsmhost/dev/ServiceManager.svc?wsdl
New-WebServiceProxy : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,
//-- Please read the following as my personal opinion only as it's based only on my own experience using VSM API. I may be wrong of course. --//
As far as I remember there was never a good decision to use VSM API through web service reference.
I had met some problems when referencing VSM services directly through web even using Visual Studio some years ago. Since then I don't use this method.
Recently I have tried to check VSM API services metadata with some soap tools and it appears that it is not completely WS-I compliant - something wrong with namespaces defining ResultSet elements as type of DataSet. Perhaps this is the reason why VSM web services does not work as expected when referencing them directly. Maybe something else...
So the solution, workaround actually, (provided by VMware by the way) is to generate InfraAPI class and use it in your project. So far no problems with this method and we are using VSM API quite a lot.
In any case, it could be really helpful if someone might submit this issue to Alemba to fix it permanently I guess.
Ok, let's go back to your question about using VSM API with PowerShell. I must admit you have really challenged me. It was not so simple but really interesting.
The only way I have made PowerShell working is this:
1. Extract VSM API services class to a file:
svcutil /t:code /language=c# /messageContract http://vsmhost/dev/ServiceManager.svc /out:InfraAPI.9.2.0.cs /config:InfraAPI.9.2.0.config
2. Compile the class to dll file:
csc /t:library /out:InfraAPI.9.2.0.dll InfraAPI.9.2.0.cs
3. Include and use this library in your ps script like this:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("C:\_DATA\__SM9\PowerShell\API\InfraAPI.9.2.0.dll")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“System.ServiceModel”)
$ws_hb = New-Object System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding
$ws_hb.Name = "BasicHttpBinding_IServiceManager"
$ws_epa = New-Object System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("http://vsmhost/dev/servicemanager.svc")
$ws = New-Object ServiceManagerClient($ws_hb,$ws_epa)
$ws_login_in = New-Object LoginRequest("VSM_USER_NAME","VSM_USER_PASSWORD","VSM_DATABASE")
$ws_login_out = $ws.Login($ws_login_in)
$ws_login_out.sMessage
if($ws_login_out.Ret.value__ -eq 0){
    "Session ID: " + $ws_login_out.sID
    $ws_logout_in = New-Object LogoutRequest($ws_login_out.sID)
    $ws.Logout($ws_logout_in).sMessage
Shoot your questions if you have any. And could you please let me know if this is working in your environment. Tx.

Macbook Air cannot see Wifi but iPhone, iPad, and boot camp Widnows can

I just started living in an apartment with a shared wifi router. I have no control over this router and i'm fine with that since I'm just with my girlfriend here and don't have a lot of other uses for it other than simply downloading stuff and using a computer.
The problem is that literally every device I have (iPad, iPhone) can see and connect to the wireless network. Oddly, my Macbook Air 2013 cannot see this network. Some days I am actually able to connect and it works fine but then it'll just disappear and I cannot find it again. I have bootcamp installed on the Macbook Air and when I switch to Windows I can see the network and can connect with no problems.
I don't understand why the Mac OS side of things fails to even see the network when this is one of the devices with probably the most powerful network card considering it's 2013 and even has the ability to connect to ac wireless signals.
Any suggestions? I would prefer to use my Mac OS side of things rather than Windows due to battery life at least, among other obvious things.

I FIXED IT!!!!
I reset my airport express (for the umpteenth time) but this time I did a manual setup instead of going through the assistant. Changed the Channel to 10 (I am surrounded by other wifi networks using 1 and 11, so I just picked anything but 1 or 11) and configured it for 802.11g only (it defaults to b/g on the setup assistant).
So far, no problems, and both MBA and MBP connect.
I would guess this has started to happen recently due to one or both of
- recent Lion updates
- additional wifi networks popping up in my apartment building causing some kind of interference
That's my layman conclusion anyway.
Thanks for all your help! I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

I can't replace an old version of Firefox with a new one that I just downloaded. It says I don't have permissions to do so, and the old version can't trashed.

I've downloaded the new version, and when I go to drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder, I'm prompted to replace the old version. When I do, it says, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to modify 'Firefox'." I've looked everywhere, and every help forum says to just drag Firefox into the Trash. I've tried that, and it says that Firefox can't be trashed. I don't know if this means anything or not, but there is a small lock in the bottom left of the Firefox icon in my dock.

Try to drag the current Firefox application to the trash if you can't replace it.

Distributing Workspace Services and Application

Hi All,
We are attempting to distribute the Workspace services and the workspace application on 2 linux servers. The application was deployed successfully and the services installed successfully on the separate boxes. Configuration was successful on both boxes as well except for registration with Shared Services. If anyone has any information on how to point the workspace services to Shared Services on a separate box it would be an enormous help.

Thank you!!!

Any information anyone has to share about installing workspace services (core services) and configuring them would be extremely helpful.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Can I install Snow Leopard and boot from software RAID 1 (mirror)?

I have a Mac Pro (quad core 2.66 GHz) on order for my office workstation. Yeah, I know new ones are probably coming out early next year but due to budget and upcoming projects I need one now. What I'd like to do is replace the pre-installed 640GB drive with two 1 TB drives and mirror them. The 640GB drive will be redeployed to another machine in the office. Can I boot from the Snow Leopard install DVD, go to Disk Utility, setup a RAID 1 with the two drives, install Snow Leopard to the mirror and then boot off the mirror set?
I've searched and found offhand comments to the effect that installing to and booting from a software mirror is OK, but I'd like to know for sure that it's OK. Any experience that you have with such a configuration would be nice to hear.

Yes. But before you do read the following:
RAID Basics
For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs. Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
RAID Tutorial;
RAID Array and Server: Hardware and Service Comparison>.
Hardware or Software RAID?
RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
Pros and cons
Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.
For more detailed information on the differences between Software RAID and Hardware RAID you may want to read: Hardware RAID vs. Software RAID: Which Implementation is Best for my Application?

Can no longer opt boot to Windows; Parallels and Boot Camp issues

So I was reinstalling my Parallels since it wasn't reading my Boot Camp partition correctly and I removed my old boot camp profile in Parallels. I figured this would only affect Parallels. After all, I was going to make a new one since my Parallels wasn't working very well. The removal of the profile seemed painless and it was instantaneous (so I don't think it formatted the partition). I then went to restart, and now my comp won't boot to the partition.
I can no longer view (or access) my files from Windows. I panicked and restored the profile from the trash, but I still can't access the partition. I can't even see Windows from the Start Up disk, but Parallels can detect that I have Windows 7 (even though it won't boot properly).What do I need to do to be able to get my Windows partition back? Do you have any idea whats going on with my comp? Can the removal of a virtual machine profile delete an entire OS in an instant?
Disk Utility says that my partition needs to be repaired, but I don't want to do anything until I get an expert opinion.

Leave your Testdisk display and start a new Terminal Window. Please use the following steps. The 104 sector positive offset is a good sign.
You need to use the following steps. If you see any error messages during the following steps, please stop and post back here with the error message. The following steps have values from your Testdisk output (and you can verify) in Steps 7 and 8.
Rebuild GPT4 using start/end offsets
Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0

W         (Write the new GPT)
Y           (Yes! really write the new GPT)
This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s4.
Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The only values that need modifications are the Boot flags and step 6. Accept all other defaults that Gdisk offers.

Y    (Yes! write the new MBR)
Reboot

As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:

Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.

Should I upgrade to Snow Leopard/ Lion using a MacBook Pro with 2.26 GHz Inetl Core 2 Duo Processor and 2GB Memory? Can my old macbook take it?

Should I upgrade to Snow Leopard/ Lion using a MacBook Pro with 2.26 GHz Inetl Core 2 Duo Processor and 2GB Memory? Can my old macbook take it?
thanks

Yes. You should be fine with Snow Leopard, but Lion requires a minimum of 2 GBs of RAM. If you upgrade to Lion I would first upgrade your RAM to at least 4 GBs if your model supports it. Also, see:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).
