Delete button not working on the desktop

Hello There,
I am a new mac user. I don't know but for some reason, delete button on the desktop is not working, i.e. if I want to delete something I have to right click and then select "move to trash", is there are workaround for that, or it is like that only.
Thanks in advance!!
Regards
Nikhil

Hi There,
First, welcome to Macintosh! To delete a file, use Command + Delete (The key with the apple logo on it is the command key.) Pressing delete alone will not move the file to the trash.
Good luck!

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Itunes not working on the Desktop?

    Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post but here it goes. It still has to do with itunes. Okay for a while my itunes program started to not open on the desktop. The only way i can open itunes is from "Program Files" under My Computer. I have even tried to uninstall Itunes on the add/remove Programs and it will not let me uninstall itunes. Even if there is a new version of itunes comes out, it still won't install. What is going on? What do I need to do in order to fix this problem? Thanks for those who can help~

    Um...that does not help because I already do have a itunes on my shortcut, and yet when i click on it, I get an error message saying: This action is only valid fro products that are currently installed. It used to work before, but now it doesn't and i get this message. I even tried downloading the newest version of Itunes, and yet it still won't let me install. And I'm stuck on the previous version of itunes. The only way i can fix this problem is reformatting my computer, and I don't want to do that because 1. It takes a while to format, 2. Since i have a dell notebook, I have to install every drivers (which does take a while cuz i have to restart alot after I install each drivers needed for my notebook). 3. I don't want to lose my files (yes i can make back ups, but that takes too long, and I don't want to waste much money on buying blank cd's, not only that, but also a hassle to put them back on the computer.
    If nobody can solve this issue, I guess I might as well reformat my computer.

  • Buttons not working in the upgraded (ERP 2005) PM BSP

    Hi...
    We have recently upgraded our system from ERP2004 to ERP2005. We have made the SAPU re-conciliation. When we tested our entire BSP in portal, some of the buttons that used to work before upgrade are not working right now. Some of them are:
        1. the CREATE button that allows us to create performance plans/appraisals is not working in employee login (ESS)
        2. Start Evaluation button that changes the appraisal from Inreview to Inprocess status is also not working.
             When I did a code compare, the upgraded version of HRHAP_DOCUMENT_CHANGE_STATUS has got a new function module called HRHAP_0DOC_DET_NEW_STATUS which is used to Determine New Status depending on BUTTON_ID. But in the old version this is not there, instead a perform does the same function. Does this help?
    Can  anyone tell me why these are not working? Any information that you could provide will be really useful.
    Thanks,
    Aruna Nivetha.R

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why is my page orientation button not working with the new update to pages?

    Since I have updated my pages my print orientation button is not working. amy ideas as to why that is and are ther many people with this problem???

    We are all busy with many other problems in Pages 5.
    Unless you have found some real reason to use Pages 5 just go back to Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications folder, until Apple sorts this all out.

  • Buttons not Working in the PDF version

    When viewing the PDF file generated after publishing my project I'm unable to toggle the TOC button (this is an image button I added on the slides, with a Toggle action to show/hide the Table of Contents. Any ideas what might be wrong?

    Perhaps that's simply a feature that isn't supported by presenting a Captivate intended for the web from inside a PDF?

  • "Apply" and "Sync" buttons not working in the iPod summary...?

    I had just previously purchased a few tv episodes and movies through the iTunes store. Before I had done this, in the iPod summary when connected, I chose which movies to sync to my iPod instead of syncing all of them. Now when I go to check the boxes next to the new movies/episodes, and press apply, they do not sync and I just get a message saying that "the disk cannot be found." I do not understand why it is doing this because I can sync all of my other music and podcast files fine. If someone would help me with this problem I would be eternally grateful.

    - You can try resetting the iPod

    You might get more detailed responses if you posed in the iPod Nano forum.  You posted in the iPod Touch forum.

  • I have several accounts in thunderbird & now my delete message button will not work on the gmail account but does on the other non gmail accounts

    any ideas?

  • Buttons not working; then losing connectivity on certain apps, but the browser continues to work

    For Torch 9800: only the touch screen buttons are working. The entire keypad and the top 5 buttons (menu, send, etc) were not working. I did several battery pulls and it finally started working. However BBM, FB, WhatsApp, BB App Store stopped working, but the web browser was still working, so it was not a connectivity  problem. Then the keyboard problem started again. I did another battery  pull and is started working again, but still to access to FB, BBM or Whatsapp, App word. Please help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Wow...lots of problems there...and impossible, without some significant diagnostics, to deduce just what the culprit it. It could be hardware, it could be software, it could be moisture intrusion, it could be other things, it could be a combination of things.
    So, first off, do you at all suspect moisture intrusion? If so, then
    REMOVE YOUR BB BATTERY NOW!!!
    Run, don't walk, to this FAQ:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F
    Do everything it says, including waiting the maximum recommended time. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
    If you are 100% certain of no possibility, even remote, of moisture intrusion and/or you have done the above and there is no change, then the next thing to try is a clean OS reload. What I suggest actually is to reload your OS clean -- as "bare bones" as possible...no add-on apps, no extra things, no themes, truly bare bones. Then, if the behavior immediately presents, you can stop as you then know that it's either hardware or un-fixable moisture intrusion. On the other hand, if the behavior does not immediately present, then run like that for perhaps a week...long enough to be convinced that the behavior will not recur. Then, after that week, add just one thing...only one, no matter how tempting it is to add more. Run again for another week if the behavior does not present. Once the behavior does present, you know your culprit! I realize this is tedious, but you have a special problem, and special diagnostics are IMHO required.
    So, to do that OS reload, at the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
