Files Stuck in the Trash - please help
Ok so when I try to delete this one file (it was actually my palm desktop), it says it can't because file "localized.rsrc" is in use.
So, for all intensive purposes, this file is "stuck" in my trash, it won't delete.
How do I stop this file "localized.rsrc"? Spotlight won't even find it, I can't find it in activity monitor.
How do I shut it down, or finally delete this file?!
Thanks for your help!
Each time I tried "toying" with the files, like renaming them, putting them in their own folder, etc... it started messing up my computer... Icons wouldn't show up, things disappeared (transiently)... I had to reboot often to try to get a hold of things.
For that reason, and a few more I chose to reformat and be done with it... I keep a pretty strict backup on my iPod anyway, so it only took me a little over an hour.
Now the files are gone!!!!
For future notice, you can just search for Palm and the filename in google and you can find many resources to get it out using Terminal.
Unfortunately it is a bit complicated, and I only had enough patience to reformat, not runaround with code that I've never used before.
So good luck to others getting rid of these files, because I still can't figure out why they're in use, and why I can't get them out of use to delete.

Hello,
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
Reboot & try, any change? -
Corrupt Image file stuck in Camera roll - please help
I downloaded a background the other day for my iP4, and went to import it to iPhoto today. It apparently is corrupt (it says it's a JPEG but iPhoto says it can't be read) and also is unopenable on the phone itself. So it basically wont leave my Camera Roll nor will it open on the phone or on the computer.
I downloaded iPhone Explorer for my Macbook and "deleted" the file and its data in MISC but now it is just a black thumbnail. The photo whether how it originally looked as a thumbnail or the black thumbnail it is now can never be opened on the screen. Therefore I never could delete it from the camera roll "normally" and still cannot.
I just restored my phone hoping the Camera Roll would perhaps delete itself. Sadly, it did not, but it was worth a try. Is there a way to access a previous backup from let's say last week before I saved this photo? A delete from iPhoto also isn't working.
Also, the phone was never jailbroken, etc. It's in tip-top shape, except for this annoying corrupt file.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.Photos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. When restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, what is available in your iPhone's backup in regards to the Camera Roll is restored with it.
iTunes has a single backup for the iPhone which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. A new backup is created when restoring your iPhone with iTunes and I believe a new backup is created when installing a firmware update. The previous backups remain available to select.
Go to iTunes > Preferences and check under the Devices tab for the available backups.
You may need to end up restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. -
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hi JulietaQ,
In order to help you better.
Please let me know which application or Service of Adobe you are using. If this is subscription i would request you to log-out and log-in back and let me know if that helps.

i cant use the highlight, underline, or strikethrough function in a specific pdf file. The file isnt locked. I used to highlight texts from that file before the latest update. The problem occurs only with that file. Urgent need. Please help. Thanks!
Chester31,
Thank you very much for sharing your file with us! Now that we are able to reproduce the problem at our end, you may stop sharing the file on Acrobat.com.
Do you know when this problem (for not being able to add new highlight/strikeout/underline) has started? Did you update your iOS from 7.x to 8.0 recently?
We will continue investigating the problem and let you know what we find.
Thank you again for your help. -

Hi I am using Iframe with src="abc.mht" file. i want to view the mht file content in same window.please help..
Thanks in AdvanceThis is not a Java problem, this is a WEBBOT problem.
I suggest that you research the topic in your FrontPage help files.
Yes, we do know how to solve this problem using ordinary HTML and JSP. The sample code that you've posted implies that you are looking for an extremely different solution. To put it another way, it looks like you're logging onto the Federal Aviation Administration's forums and asking them how to go from Chicago to New York by train.
But in any case, if you can't find the information in FrontPage, I'm 100% certain that if you went to www.microsoft.com and searched for FrontPage and downloads, and skipped the results that actually want you to download FrontPage, you'll get some sample code. -

Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.
Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby) -

If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.
Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!
