Files "impossible to throw away". How do I get rid of them?

Hi,
I have on my desk files I didn't create, named 1CE18A00, C7DCF000, 8B0EC000, and when I throw them away I get the message "file impossible to throw away". How do I get rid of them?
They are marked as XLSX files, but they don't open when I double click on them.

You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.

Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

Hello. It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos. What I did:
First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords. I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands.
Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically! I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random. But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
Thanks for the discussion and help.

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

Someone before you must have done it. Connect your iPod touch with your computer. In iTunes, under Devices, select your iPod touch, click Restore button and set up your device. Everything should get back to normal.

Sounds like it may belong to some Mac software installed on your computer like iTunes, for example. It's a preference file. What is the file's full name?

Alt tags for Flash content; How do I get rid of them

With the new Dreamweaver update, all my flash files have
acquired Alt tags. I imagine this has something to do with the
javascript it is now using to load the content. However, how do I
get rid of them! My clients HATE them, and I do too!

OK -
This is the only markup you need to worry about -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=8,0,22,0','width','751','height','126','src','../SWFs/topNav?<%=Request.
QueryString%>','quality','high','wmode','transparent','pluginspage','
http://www.
macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','../SWFs/topNav?<%=Request.QueryString
%>' ); //end AC code
</script>
But I have to ask you - what is the VBScript in there doing?
It seems to me
to be invalid as well - 'request.querystring' needs a
"(stringname)" or an
empty (), no?
So - there is no "alt" attribute specified in there (nor can
there even be
one on Flash, anyhow). Without seeing the actual page, I can
only shrug and
say I have no idea....

ITunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
Click File
Scroll down to "show duplicates"
A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

Thunderbird has just duplicated x 2 every message in my inbox but not in any other folder. It's the fourth time it's done this so how do I get rid of them?

Thunderbird has just duplicated x 2 every message in my inbox but not in any other folder. It's the fourth time it's done this so how do I get rid of them?
I've just tried downloading two addons to try and fix this from the forum but one wasn't compatible with Firefox 28 and the other started downloading something very dodgy to do with .xpi file converters.
So any help would be great, thanks.

first you have an anti virus problem... duplicated message almost always occur through one of two reasons. Anti virus program barfs on a message (relatively common) Server side message corruption (becoming more common, particularly at Yahoo)
Turning off anti virus checking will generally allow the message that causes the issue to download. logging into the webmail portal and deleting what you think looks like the "next" message to download will usually fix corruption that causes duplication of downloads.
Now to the cleanup.
This add-on should do that for you https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/remove-duplicate-messages-alte/?src=search

I cannot delete two of the messages in my inbox. How do I get rid of them?

I cannot delete two of the messages in my inbox. The others go away easily.
How do I get rid of them?

Have you tried quitting mail and then trying to delete again? Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or resetting the iPad and then trying again? Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If neither of these things work, delete the emails from the server in webmail. Go to your email account via a web browser and delete it from the server. Empty the trash folder on the server as well and then see if you can delete them from the iPad or see if they have gone away.

See these articles for some suggestions:

* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Those look alot like file names and not infection names. I don't find any reference to anything like that on Norton or VirusTotal. Since you said these were Trojans, I would expect to see "Trojan" as part of the infection name.
".jar" files are executable Java applets. The random alpha-numerics would seem to indicate a cache file, likely from a browser with Java enabled. And we all know what ".zip" means.
Worst case is that you had Java enabled in a browser and were infected by one of the late variants of the Flashback Trojan over a year ago or one of a couple of other attacks using the same vulnerability but targetted against a small number of political sympathizers. Much more probable is that thes were Windows only Trojans. Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date OS X, including Java, and have disabled Java in all your browsers by now.

2008 IMAC Have lines going up and down on my screen. How do I get rid of them?

I have a 2008 I Mac. I have several lines going up and down on the screen. How do I get rid of them?

I wish I had a solution (and yours is a fairly recent Mac) but that symptom is similar to those of a failed screen. The repair is often $500-$1000! If you run an external monitor from this iMac, I'd try that to see if the problem goes away. If it is gone, then the screen itself on the iMac has gone bad and you can use an external monitor, they cost about $100 or so. If the lines also show up on an external monitor, then it is likely that your graphics chip has gone bad.
Another thing to try -- boot into safe mode, as safe mode bypasses some of the more advanced graphics hardware. If the screen is ok, you might be able to use your computer in a lower graphics mode.
Another thing to do: run the Apple hardware Test DVD that came with your Mac. It may pinpoint the problem immediately.

I recently updated my Ipad2 to iOS7 and suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously reviewed and deleted. How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
