Desktop in Admin can't retrive and full of jpegs

This my first post. On 4-3-2010, we moved quite a number of jpegs by draging them to the desktop with the intention to make a folder and send to trash. While this was in progress the draging the pinwheel came on and locked up everything. So I shut the Mac off by disconnecting the power. The next start up all the jpegs and the desktop is in admin, with other apps. When i try to delete a jpeg a drop box says being used by another app cannot send to trash. The desktop is gone but there is a picture of the desktop in the admin file on finder, We are using finder as the desktop. Reran tiger 10.4 and archived as i was told by apple. Still the same. Can someone help me through this mess, thanks Ken

Hi Ken, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Yep, too many files on the Desktop will bring OSX to it's knees, they use way more resources there.
I'd would be best to create a new Admin User in System Preferences>Accounts, log out of this account & into the new one, then navigate to the original user's folder>Desktop, & delete them from there.
But you might try a Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & trash while in Safe Mode.

Windows 7 on domain, only domain admins can install/uninstall and update

We are rolling out some Windows 7 PC's at work and are noticing some problems with Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat 8 on these new machines. If a normal user is logged in to a Win 7 computer he/she cannot install, uninstall or update either adober reader x or Acrobat 8, they are met with the following error:
Error 1324: The path to My Documents or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again
This pops up immediatly when the choose to install. All of our domain users are set up as local admins on their macines (Domain Users has been added to the local Adminstrators group). The only way anyone can install or update without the errors is if we add them to the Domain Admins group which for obvious reasons we can't do.
Any ideas? I can't seem to find a solution for this searching online.
Thanks

SAME PROBLEM I HAVE.

How can I open (and edit) multiple jpegs in camera raw?

I am able to open only one at a time. I tried holding the shift and command keys down to select multiple images and I cannot seem to do it.
thank you

It’s only possible to open jpegs one at a time in Camera Raw.
You need Lightroom 3 to be able to do multiple edits simultaneously - there is a free trial for 30 days.

My G Drive will not show up on my desktop for use. It did yesterday. It is not full and currently the light turns on and seems to be running but will not show up on my desktop. What can I do?

1. verify on another Mac first. and another port.
2. very likely dead SATA card

Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD

Hi Mary,
I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved all the way to the left. Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

Can Cisco IME software run on desktop without admin privileges?

I do workstation support and our network administrators do not have admin on their Windows 7 workstations, is there a way to install the CISC IPS Manager Express and have it run without needing admin permissions on the desktop? I thought I had it working (with shims and Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit) then it said it needed the admin permissions for making the SQL connection.
Please let mw know why this application requires admin and if there is a work around.
Thank you!
Fred

I'm afraid I have no personal experience with what you're attempting to do...
All I can remember is that Full Admin rights were supposed to be granted to the user account during the entire installation of Palm Desktop, and a successful HotSync performed. Whether the check-out routine is doing this is beyond me.
Once the above is complete, the rights can be revoked back to "User".

Application no longer assignable to a desktop in Spaces. Useable only in full screen, can't access it when not in full screen.

This is a repost to correctly ID this as a Spaces issue. I am using a MacBook Pro with a second monitor in extended desktop. I put iMovie in full screen and when I put it back, it disappeared off of both desktops. I can see it in Spaces and I can use it in full screen. However, it is not available when not in full screen. When I drag and drop it in Spaces to a desktop, it animates off of the top of the screen versus landing on that desktop. I have tried to change the application assignment by right clicking on the iMovie Icon > Options > Assign To, but it affects nothing. I have rebooted both with the external monitor and without, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie and I have tried many combinations of screen resolutions and it is still assigned somewhere other than a desktop. It appears to no longer be associated with or assignable to a desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you access iMovie without being in fullscreen when you do not have an external monitor connected? I cannot. No matter the monitor configuration, it is only accessible in full screen for me.
I agree - it is for sure a bug.

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help! Further info: I am a complete newbie to Mac. Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs. Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back) with the F4 function key. While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it. Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on. So Idragged it over to display in the centre. But that's all that's there. And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor. There is some wierd disconnect. I'm sure it is just a setting thing. Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.

Two desktops version that don't work and can't uninstall - Please help

Hello all,
Looks like I have this double whammy. Everything started when I had the brilliant idea of installing version 6.0 of desktop software. It installed fine and recognizes my BB (8330 Curve). I can save my BB content however it will not let me synch when I try to do this I get the “Intellisync Unknown Error” message.
I then noticed that version 4.5 was still there so I tried to uninstall it. However I keep getting that dreaded "Could not access VBScript run time for custom action" message. I’ve looked for this error in the forum and tried to apply the recipe I found here, namely to register the VBscript DLL. I’m getting a message saying that the register process was successful, however when I try to uninstall I still get the VBscript error message again. I then tried to do a manual uninstall of version 4.5 and tried to reinstall it. It did but now I can’t synch using version 4.5 anymore now getting the “Intellisync Unknown Error” message there as well.
Just so you know, I’m running Windows 7 32-bits, and I have an admin profile on my machine.
So now I have two versions of desktop software that do not work and that I can’t uninstall! If anyone can help I would be very grateful because I’m running out of things to try.
Thanks in advance,

Have you tried installing Microsoft® Windows Script version 5.6? Since you are unable to uninstall the Desktop Manager, try manually deleting the folders from your computer (Task 3 in the following KB article) and removing the associated registry keys. http://bbry.lv/cmoQ5P Then reinstall version 6.0.

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

I'm trying to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I'm using the 'mini-display port to female HDMI" adapter. all i can see is my desktop background. no folders or icons and when i play a movie it goes blank.

Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV. This is the extended desktop mode.

It's saved to the desktop on your computer or it's saved to your desktop computer?

I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?

If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.

I can't cut and paste and the mac doesn't see me as the admin

Okay so here are my current frustrations and issues:
1. I can't cut and paste anything! Not from emails, not in documents, nothing.
2. I went to make changes in the utilities and when I started, under my name, it said admin and now it says standard and the computer won't allow me to make changes. I try to enter my name and password and the computer says I am not the admin.
3. I can't delete the "test" user and "guest" user because apparantly there is no admin.
I have rebooted using the install disk and I was able to change the passwords but I still can't get in as the admin.
Is there a way to override this before I a) pull out all of my hair, my husbands hair and the hair belonging to my cat and/or b) before I throw the machine out the window and then have another frustration that the unit is not working?!

First back up all your data, if you haven't done so already.
Boot in safe mode (shift key down at startup) and check to see whether the clipboard now works. If it does, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and try again.
Next, boot in single-user mode by restarting the computer and holding down the Command and S keys at the chime, until you see white text on a black background. Wait for the text to stop scrolling, then follow the instructions on the screen, which will tell you run the fsck and mount commands. Be very, very careful to type the commands correctly. After you enter the mount command, please enter this:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Then this:
exit
The Mac will now boot up as if for the first time. Go through the setup procedure to create a new admin account with the same name and password as the old one.
