Error message when dragging bookmarks to trash

When I try to delete a bookmark item by dragging it to the trash, I get this error message in Finder: "The item "Xxxxxx" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted." Well, yes it can be deleted - because despite the message, it is indeed moved to the Trash. But I wonder why the message is appearing and how I can stop it doing so? (I can't recall this happening before 10.6.4. Safari version is 5.0.2.)

Hi
This might be a user permissions problem - although testing here, bookmarks never actually end up 'in' the trash - they just puff & vanish same as if dragged to the menu bar, for example.
Since this is within an account - a regular 'repair permissions' won't do a thing... follow steps 4-11 at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1334 to "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs" (same on 10.6)
I don't think steps 1-3 are necessarily needed, but since they do no harm when copied correctly _if followed by 4-11_... I suggest them unless Terminal gives you the fear.

Error Message When Importing Bookmarks From A Network Share

An error message is generated whenever I try to import bookmarks.html from a network share on kubuntu. This same operation is sucessful on the windows version of firefox.
To replicate:
The bookmarks.html is created by Firefox 3.68 on windows 7. And is saved to a network share location. When trying to import this file into firefox 3.6.8 on my kubuntu 10.04 machine, I get the error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
If I copy bookmarks.html local to the kubuntu machine, it imports without error.
On windows, I can import bookmarks.html from the network share without error.
Does anyone know why I can't import across the network on the kubuntu version?
browser being run on windows 7:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
browser being run on kubuntu 10.04:
Firefox 3.6.8 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0.

It appears to be any remote file, not just the bookmarks file. When trying to upload a file to a website, firefox threw up the same error:
error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
So what is it about files that are sitting on a server, firefox and kubuntu that causes this? I don't get the error message when using win7 on the same files.

Error message when Making Bookmarkable an audiobook file. Solution?

When I import an mp3 audiobook file into iTunes 10, and then convert it to an AAC file, and then try to 'Make it Bookmarkable', I get an error message:
"The variable loc is not defined".
This is a new problem that I have never encountered before in doing this task.
Anyone know the Solution?

I am having the same problem. Never had the problem before, so I am assuming it is something in the new iTunes.

Error message when dragging and dropping images to album

I recently installed the Elements 12 upgrade on my MacBook Pro. My previous version was Elements 10. When I try to add new images to my existing albums by selecting, dragging and dropping them into an album the operation does not work and i get an error message "Error Applying Keyword Tag(s)"

Thanks for your reply Andaleeb,
When you look at the numerous discussions on the PSE forum on this Organizer window issue it's not just a problem I had (Thread 14444851) but other users who have Elements 10, 11 and 12 are experiencing similar problems. There appears to be a serious compatibility problem with OSX 10.9.2 and these versions of PSE. Although my issue was fixed by your support staff, the fact that many other users are experiencing this issue points to the need for a universal fix applicable to all Mac users. There is a lot of frustration out there among Mac users and Adobe needs to deal with this problem.
I am really surprised that on all the other discussion posts on this issue, there is not a single comment or response from Adobe staff! Given the lack of response from Adobe, it appears that the Adobe policy is to sit back and let the Mac users determine their own solutions.
Please pass this post on to your management so that corrective action can be initiated.
Thanks for your help.

Error message when dragging a tv show from iTunes to my nano...

I get this message when trying to drag in a tv show from iTunes to ny nano...
"Pilot (tv show is called 10 things i hate about you) was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
This tv show was on the nano at some point. I had to do a restore. Anyway, I was able to drag a different tv show to my nano. What's up? Could something be wrong with that particular tv show?

Error message when dragging wav files into iTunes

I am getting an error message recently "There is not enough room on '''' to copy all of the requested files. iTunes will copy as many files as possible." No files end up getting copied. I have a 60GB video with only 22 used. I have dragged files before with no problem. I have tried deleting some files that I don't really listen to and it will help to free up some space for one or two more files, but I shouldn't have to do this at this point. Any clues?

Error Message when trying to empty the trash!

anyone got any ideas?
In my trash are some of my old time machine back ups if that makes a difference.
I get the following error message when I try and empty the trash;
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
If I try and secure empty the trash I get the same error message:
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
any help would be good.
cheers ;o)

Hi,
Google ERROR 8003 and you will find some answers. There is one that specifically mentions Time Machine back ups.
Good luck,

Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash. When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod. If you are, there is a better way. You can post back if you want more info...

Hi,
obviously you try to drag and drop a component to a place where it breaks the document. Make sure the table is added to the JSP body. Have a look at the page sources for existing syntax problems - e.g. missing close elemenents or misplaced elements

Error Message when e-mailing photo

I get this error message when trying to e-mail a photo from lightroom (I have a mac and am using gmail): "An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field 'e-mail_photo_caption' (a nil value)."
I have validated my account but my e-mails cannot be sent- thanks for your help!

The build number for 4.1 is 829322, so it's definitely 4.0 you've got open there. Perhaps you dock shortcut is pointing to an older version which should have been trashed? LR was closed while the installer ran?
Personally I'd trash the app and run the installer again to try to rule that out. I'd probably also repair permissions on the drive before running the installer, in case it's prevented from installing.

Error message when burning Home Folder backup disk

I got this error message when trying to burn a backup disk (cd-rw) of my Home Folder. Could somebody please help me figure out what this means? -
The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found.
(Error code -43)
Could not open the data fork of "<unable to get file path>" (-43).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a bunch of folders within your home folder, you may want to decide what exactly you want to back up or not.
Besides your personal folders (Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures), you may want to decide whether you need to back up the library folder. The library folder generally contains preferences for most of your applications, and also caches and applications support files. These can become really big in some cases (Mine is more than 8GB, will not fit on a dual layer DVD). And the Library>Caches folder contains temporary files that will change from time to time, this might be the cause of your previous error since the shortcut is no longer valid.
Once you chose your files and make sure they will fit on your blank CD/DVD, you can just do what you did before, drag the folders to a Burn folder, make sure you are not running any other apps, so they won't be modifying the files.
There are programs you can use to backup to CD/DVD, Disc burner like Toast will span across several discs if the data does not fit on one. For a more automated solution, Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) can backup to disc images which you can then burn to discs. I personally don't know a lot backup programs that provide good support for CD/DVDs, so I'll leave this to other folks.
If you are going to backup regularly, I would recommend spending some money on an external drive. You can find quite a few free software for automated backup and saves money and time on burning CD/DVDs. Plus you have the advantage of being able to boot from the external drive should anything bad happened to your internal one.
