File not going away

Hello,
I have an issue with a file that is sitting on my desktop and I can't delete, neither pop an info window, I right clicked on it and try to show the package content and is all blank, can't rename it... well, I have no clue what to do with this file and why is there.
Just as a footnote, I just got my iMac back from the Genius dudes at Apple, they send me a RECALL email. Apparently there was something wrong with this batch of hard drives. But honestly I never had a problem in the years I had this computer. I called support about this file issue but they want to charge me now $19 to help me. Again, computer was fine ---> RECALL ---> computer comes back with weird file ---> I get charged (hmmm really?)
... oh well, sorry for the rant but thank you so much for any help.
Cheers

Thanks man.
But perhaps I didn't explain myself properly. The issue with this stubborn file happened after I got the computer back from the recall.
I didn't ignore the recall... I took my computer to Apple to be fixed, and this issue appeared after I got my iMac back... Not sure if it has aything to do with whatever they did.

How can i reset my app store setting? i have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first and that one is not going away

How can i reset my app store setting?
I have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first a few years ago and that one is not going away how do i change it to my own apple id?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID.

Why are my exported files not going to me email? I have used 3 different ones.

Why are my exported files not going to my email (receipts & business card)? I have used 3 different ones...2 yahoo and 1 hotmail. I have checked spam box also.

For the Receipts app I chose to export the info as a PDF file..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. For the Business Card app I chose Send, not Print..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. I haven't received anything, not even in my spam folder.

App Store notifications not going away - what to do?

iPhone 3Gs. App Store on the phone shows three apps in need of updating, but those apps have been updated in iTunes, and the phone has synched several times since then. Why are the notifications not going away, and is ther a way to sort this out (without having to update the apps on the phone - they are on different accounts, and it is a pain to have to log in again for each app).

Apple has had an issue earlier with the iTunes Store and various aspects of it's operation. It's mentioned here:
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
It may take awhile for it to totally clear though.
In the meantime, try the following: Shut down the App Store/ iTunes Store apps from the Multitasking bar:
1.From the Home screen, double-tap the Home button, find the iTunes Store/App Store apps (drag the icons left/right) and swipe up on their respective screen captures, NOT on the icons at the bottom. This will close them.
2. Wait about one minute for the apps to close off
3. Reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
After the reset, try to open the Apps Store and see if the updates notification has cleared.

Mouse not going away

I'm having issues with the mouse icon not going away on a quicktime movie I'm running for an artwork at a museum. I have a computer set to start up at a specific time and then a applescript to run on start up that opens the movie, loops it, and sets it at fullscreen. Everything works fine expect that the mouse icon won't hide and sits on the top of the movie. This only seems to be an issue when it starts up in the morning automatically, not when I manually restart the computer. Any ideas?
Many thanks!

Hi mcrocka:
Welcome!
Press the Option / Apple / esc keys at the same time. That will bring up the Force Quit option.
Then make imovie 'quit'

My Desktop Icons are not appearing or not going away

Hi there
This problem started occuring a while ago while I was downloading many files.
What is happening is, whem I download a file, the file download icon will appear on my desktop as it should, and as my mac always has done, it should show the actual file icon once the download is complete and then dissapear.
What is happening is that the download icon does not go away, and the file icon does not appear. Rather, when I click on the completed download icon, it suddenly dissapears, but the downloaded file icon does not appear.
The files do exist, as when I search for them in finder and select 'reveal in finder' the file suddenly appears on the desktop.
This is really annoying... I now lose track of what I have downloaded and dont know what is on my desktop.. I dont keep files on my desktop, I just need to download them to there before moving them..

Hi Dr Wong,
Have you tried designating a specific folder for the downloads to save to, rather than saving them to the desktop?
If you go to your browser preferences you can either create a new folder or choose an existing one to download to. This way you can see all your dwonloads in date/name order as you would with any other folder. I find that it's a lot easier to manage them this way.
Give it a try and see if it solves the problem. If you still have the same troubles come back to me.

Do not disconnect not going away

I have a 60 gb video ipod. I have been uploading songs to my ipod before and all of a sudden, it stopped putting them on my ipod. I would watch it transfer in itunes but as soon as i took my ipod off the dock the songs wont be on there.
And another thing. I have to manually eject my ipod now because the do not disconnect screen never goes away even after it says update complete in itunes.

I have the same problem with my ipod nano. Itunes will not consolidate my library, new music will not transfer to my ipod, and whenever I connect my ipod, the "do not disconnect" never goes away. I have already reinstalled the program and I'm still having this problem. How can this be fixed?

Trouble with removing erroneus keywords, they're not going away?

I'm trying to clean up some poorly keyworded images by removing improper keywords and replacing them with the appropiate keywords. When I do this, then hit sync metadata, the old keywords do not go away. thoughts?

I have also faced this problem. (I'm using Ver 2.5)
I have found that keywords are treated differently than other metadata, not part of it as I expected.
(Note to LR designers: I think Keywords should be included as part of metadata synch - or have their own separate synch.)
To resolve this problem with LR v. 2.5, I select all the images I want to change in Library
Then I go to keywords and manually change the keyword set by adding new or removing existing keywords.
Note: You may need to manually add your new keywords in the "click here to add keywords" box in Library before you can make the global edit.
All selected images accept the keyword changes this way.

Notifications not going away

Hello
I have a Curve 8330 and I received two notifications on the very top of my screen that I needed to update some apps on my phone. I went into my BlackBerry app word and updated them, but the notification is still on my screen. The same thing is going on with a Facebook notification. I have checked my Facebook, but the icon is still on the top of my screen. Does anyone know how I would remove it?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
For AppWorld, it is a two-step process:
1) Go into MyWorld and check all of your apps...update any that have such available -- done.
2) Go into Messages and find (you can use search for all services and unread messages) the messages from AppWorld...deal with them (read, delete, etc.) and the icon will go away.
For FB, typically the notification stays on until you read your new messages inside of the FB app on the BB (doing so on the FB website from a PC will not clear the icon on the BB). If it's truly stuck, I suggest a batt-pull reboot:
Anytime random strange behaviors creep in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck and let us know!

I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Java plugin not going away when browser closes

Not really a huge problem, but just a question. At my work, we've developed an insurance card scanning applet and on one of the machines we have installed it on the plugin doesn't go away once all of the browsers are closed. The machine in question is a Windows 98 2nd Ed box and the plugin is ver 1.3.1_02. We have the software installed on 6 other similar machines at the site and none of them have the problem. On Windows 2000/XP/NT it works fine too.
What sort of things could cause that? Browser settings or some other settings? Just curious.

Thanks, that's sort of what I thought it might be. I didn't create the applet but I get to fix it. :)
I've also found that the applet is leaving a file handle open somewhere. Could that be why it won't die properly? It's not that large of an applet and it's not multi-threading but we do use JAI and JNI along with communicating with the browser through JSObject which I've read can cause trouble. Do you know of any good tools that could help me track down loose threads/file handles in the applet? Or techniques to clean up properly?
Thanks for the help.

Imported music files not going where they're supposed to go

Until recently I was on an eMac. Last year I purchased an external hard drive and easily moved all of my music files over to the external. At the time I set iTunes to 'direct' music files and folders to the external drive, not my laptop hard drive. This summer I got a MacBook and imported my iTunes library easily again. Since getting the laptop, it seems that every so often when I import a new Cd, the folder with the music files goes to the iTunes folder on my laptop hardrive, rather than to the 'My Music' folder I created on the external drive.
This happens maybe a third of the time and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason when it does happen. When I notice it I simply move the folders over to the external drive.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to have ALL imported music directed to the external drive? (I thought I had already done so...)
Thanks.

If you do not launch iTunes with the external hard drive un-mounted, and iTunes was pointed to it, iTunes will not change music folder locations. Once again, if iTunes is launched with the external hard drive un-mounted, and that is where you told iTunes the music folder was, iTunes will return to the default location on your internal hard drive.

JmenuItem not going away when I click outside of the applet

Hi guys,
I created a swing applet with JMenu and JMenuItem. If I click within the applet area, the JMenuItem will go away. But when I click out side of the applet, the JMenuItem will not disapear. How to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.
yj

OK, here are the main parts. First your class must implement the FocusListener interface:
public MyClass extends JFrame implements FocusListener {
next you must add the FocusListener:
myJMenuItem.addFocusListener( this );
and finally you must implement the two methods focusGained and focusLost:
public void focusGained( java.awt.event.FocusEvent fe ) {
Object source = fe.getSource();
if ( source == myJMenuItem ) {
//you don't need to really do anything here.
public void focusLost( java.awt.event.FocusEvent fe ) {
Object source = fe.getSource();
if ( source == myJMenuItem ) {
myJToolBar.repaint(); //Or something to reset it
Essentially you are checking for when the focus is lost on the JMenubar, you might try using the focus listener on the menu item and if that doesn't work they using it on the toolbar, or even the main frame. Once the focus is lost the focusLost method is called you want to reset your menu bar and repaint it.
