Deleting Locked Application on Mavericks

I have an older version of an application (GoToMeeting) that Mavericks will not allow me to delete because it is "locked." The Locked box is checked and greyed out so I cannot un-check it. All of the ways to "usually" delete are apparently useless now. Ideas??? This affects my work because when we host videoconference calls we record the sessions and the recordings cannot be converted to files unless the older version of the application is gone.

Okay Frank well please by all means let me know how it works because I think Mavericks has an issue with it now.
I spent time with the support staff of the company that made this app, and the app that is locked is an older version that they no longer offer (they now have a newer version that I have no problem downloading and deleting). For some unknown reason, the OS has locked this older app version up and won't let anyone in. According to the company's notes, it is a "known issue with Mavericks."
I am going to continue to try the terminal command suggestions offered by baltwo. I would appreciate it if you don't have an answer, to not bothering to answer or just refer me to someone who has some knowledge to help.
Thanks!

Safari locks up in maverick OS

Safari locks up in maverick OS

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Deleting locked file on desktop

Greetings-
This is more a software question. I transferred QuickBook files from a PC to my Mac. I can run QB for Mac easily, but the transfer left a locked .qbw file on my desktop. I think this is a QB backup for Windows file. I am trying to delete it but can't because it is locked. I tried to delete from within QB, but can't. It is no big deal, but I would love to get it off my Desktop. Any ideas? I tried to contact Intuit, but they require an Intuit ID which I don't have. Thanks.

Ok Ed Colman lets try this:
deleting locked files
1. Open Terminal. It's located in your /Applications/Utilities.
Paste the following command:
*chflags -R nouchg*
Note: Type one space (not pictured) after nouchg in the line above, so that it ends in "nouchg ". Do not press Return yet.
2. Drag the files from the desktop to the Terminal window.
Note: This automatically enters the pathname for file/folder.
3. Press Return. No special text message will be shown indicating that the command was successful.
This should unlock hidden flags in directory and subdirectories /file that you can not get to.
4. Exit to terminate terminal session then quit as normal.
5.Delete rouge file as normal, empty trash or secure empty trash.

Error deleting an application from Essbase

Hi, I have an unused application called "Test" in our production Essbase. I wanted to delete this application and I tried doing so. It gives me the following error. Cannot delete application - object BUILDGEN locked by user Calgon How do go further in deleting? Thank you for your help, PKAJA

What OS are you running? I noticed this on an AS/400 setup Essbase 6.0. It seemed that there was an exclusive lock created for an Essbase object. After many different tries, like renaming application, creating objects, I was forced to delete all items from the file system.Does anyone have some insight as to why this happens?

Unable to delete any applications.

Hi,
Recently I upgraded to Snow Leopard, noticed some real improvements, etc. However, it has become apparent over the last week or so, that I am unable to delete any application from any folder on my system. I have tried changing ownership and permission settings to no avail. I have also tried using those application removal tools (AppZapper, AppDelete, et al). I am not an expert in using the Terminal application, so I have not tried changing settings using this.
I had intended to take my computer into my local Apple store, however, I wanted to see if I could find a solution online and fix it myself.
I should also mention that I am not trying to delete pre-installed software, just third-party software that I no longer use.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

'Jumping out of the trash', is exactly how I would describe my issue. I can delete any file providing it is not an application. Just tested trashing a range of apps, third-party and pre-installed, all act in the way I describing, all 'jump' out of the trash. Also, apps that were present pre-SL install act in the same way as post-SL ones.
I haven't to my knowledge dragged an icon from the dock to the trash, it doesn't sound like something I would do. I have in the past trashed an app directly from the Applications folder, in the usual drag-n-drop fashion. I have no other drives connected to my computer.
Just checked the permissions on the account, it tells me I am the administrator. I have no parental controls set.
I've checked ownership and permissions and whether the item is locked for my hard drive and my applications folder; and for applications I am attempting to trash, all seem to report that I have the 'power' to delete them.

Help deleting an application in Apex 3.2.1.00.12 on 10g XE

Hi,
I imported an application (timesheets demo application) by running the install script in an SQLPLUS session which I understand now was not the proper way to do this.
Now I need to delete this application but I'm receiving the following error when trying to delete the application in APEX:
ORA-20000: User ADMIN has no privileges on the EBA schema.
What do I need to do in order to delete this application?
Thank you.
Francois

Hi Francois,
You could try to login in SQLPLUS the way you did when you imported the application and then run the following code.
BEGIN
APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN.REMOVE_APPLICATION(xxx);
END;Where xxx is the Application ID.

My hard drive crashed on my Mac Book Pro and I just had it replaced yesterday. After restoring my data, Safari will not open. The error message I continue to receive is "Safari quit unexpectedly" Should I just delete the application and download a new?

Hope this helps

An error occurs while trying to delete an application

Hi everyone,
I'm working with BPC 7.5 NW SP3. I faced a problem when I tried to delete an application. I got this error:
"A dump occured on the ABAP stack". The same message appears when I try to delete an application set.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Check the dump details via ST22. Ask your Basis folks if you do not have authorization.

EPMA - It is not possible to delete an application in a "Migrate Pending"

Hi,
on EPMA, as stated on Oracle Documentation that until 11.1.2.1 version, there's known bugs on EPMA:
10278796, 10297577: It is not possible to delete an application in a "Migrate Pending" status.
Now what if I had application in a migrate pending status?
Does anybody have the solutions on this? I mean, how to deceive this so I would be able to do deletion on that application?
Thanks.

Hi,
We've had the same problem for couple of years now. It's quite unbelievable that there's no solution for this. You can search for "Migrate pending" in this document:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/readme/epma_1112100_readme.html
It's a known issue, but at least best to my knowledge, there's no answer for it. It's embarrassing that if an application duplication goes wrong (for some reason, for us it sometimes just stops at 0%), you cannot delete it. Then you explain your customers, that ok, please renew all your SmartView connections to the new application that you've managed to create.

Can not take a screenshot with Maverick and track pad. can not use apple chat to talk with a tech. there are other issues also like I used to be able to go back a page with the delete button. No Maverick PDF to instruct on how to use Maverick

THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

How do you change the distance units in the new Maps application on Mavericks from KM to miles?

How do you change the distance units in the new Maps application on Mavericks from KM to miles?

The scale in Maps follows your regional settings in System Preferences > Language & Region > Region.
Selecting United States, for example, will use English units (feet and statute miles).
There may be other methods I'm unaware of.

Deleting Planning Application in 9.3.1?

Trying to delete a planning application in 9.3.1. I try both methods that is stated in the help topic. I did both in workspace and planning web (logon to another planning app to delete the one i want to delete). In workspace i did Navigate->Administer-> classic application administration->planning administration. in planning web i logon to another planning app did Administration->Delete Application. I selected the application and delete application. I get a application successfully deleted.
But when i go back on planning web i see the application in the drop down list when i first logon. and this is present in workspace when i do Navigate->Administer-> classic application administration->planning administration. giving me a list of existing planning application.
I try to delete the datasource for this planning application but i am unable since it still associate to this planning application that i'm trying to delete. is there a step that i'm missing? I just want to completely delete this planning application and it's association to anything to it.
robert

Hi,
Sounds like you are doing everything correctly, you may have to remove it manually.
To do this.
1.Delete the application from AAS if it still exists.
2.Stop planning server
3.Go into the planning system database (the database you created when you first configured planning)
4.In the table :- HSPSYS_APPLICATION delete the record which relates to your planning, take a note of the app_id
5.In the table :- HSPSYS_APP_CLUSTER_DTL delete the record with the app_id from step 4.
6.In the table :- HSPSYS_PROPERTIES delete the records with property_id that is the same as the app_id from step 4.
7.In the table :- HSPSYS_DATASOURCE modify the app_id field the id you will have noted in step 4 and change the value to -1
8.Restart Planning
You application should of been removed from the dropdown, now you can use the same datasource again or you can delete the datasource.
Cheers
