Finder wont Delete and Gives me Error Code -1407

So, i'll Just get right into it. About a week ago I installed a MAC NTFS read/write driver (file located here: http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/) or whatever in order to transfer a 4gb ISO file over to an NTFS external HD. It was only after this that I started to notice some weird stuff happening.
1- All of the stuff on my normal External HD (Formatted in FAT 32) that was put there before the driver was installed wont delete, but New Stuff Will.
2- There is a weird file in my trash bin that has weird and unrecognized characters in the title and says it was created in 1903, but it is 0kb in size. And it wont delete. (I have tried Secure Delete)
3- whenever i try to delete It gives me a message that says: "Sorry, the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error has occurred. Error Code -1407"
I have tried Secure Delete on the files, like I said, and I've ran OnyX. Though It hasnt seemed to have worked. Also, when I transfer the files that wont delete over to a windows machine, they wont play (Some of these files are AVI video files) and say the files are corrupted. (I've tried VLC on the files on the windows machine) But, the files all play normally on my own Mac Machine. I just now got fed up with all of this and decided to ask for some help. Anyone got any Idea whats going on? Whats the Error Code -1407 mean? (I have uninstalled the driver and its all still messed up)

I don't know about your first issue for sure-more details could help.
EDIT: Try opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and typing the blue text in (copy and paste it):
ls -aleO@
DON'T press enter yet. Type a space, and drag a file you can't delete into Terminal. You'll see its path displayed onscreen. Press enter, and paste the results into a reply.
As to your second 2 problems, I would suggest, if you are running Boot Camp, booting into windows, and running chkdisk.
Good luck!
P.S. Welcome to Discussions!

  • I've spent 6 hours trying to update my iPad, and it doesn't work. It can't get past trying to back up, and just stops and gives an error code. I've deleted the backup, re-synced, and tried again and still no luck. What do I do now?

    I am not running any antivirus software on my Mac, and I have the firewall shut off. Any other ideas? I have not problem downloading all other Apple software updates. I downloaded the latest iTunes software before starting the iPad update process.

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    uninstall and reinstall
    there is a complicated way to work with just the mobile device support but its simpler just to uninstall itunes and related components and then reinstall itunes
    ur music will be fine, u will just lose the playlists. but ur mobile device support will be working again.

    Hi there could someone out there please help i've got a Iphone 4 running on IOS 5 and it will not come out of recovery mode> It comes up with the error code -1 which i've looked everywhere on the web but no one seams to have the same issue.

I've been back to the apple genius guys and they have told me there's nothing they can do other than charge me £130 to take the phone off me and give me another reconditioned phone with a 3 month warranty. Which as you can properly tell i dont want to.
    PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME thanks for your time

    This is a bad hardware error, Baseband Error. Some have reported getting through this error by Restoring iPhone with the SIM Card removed. Try that. Try restoring with different computer. Search Web some more for other thoughts.

  • Muse wont export my files in html and gives an error code when trying to upload to BC

    Here is the error message I get but when we go to correct the file and replace it in Muse we still are getting this message.

    Hi,
    Can you provide me the url of your site ?
    Also, Please do a fresh upload of your site files to your server and this time make sure that you are not missing on any of the files that was generated by Muse.
    And you dont need to upload the .oam files onto your server separately as the files generated by Muse on exporting contains all the HTML , CSS and Javascript used in your Edge Animation.

  • TS2799 my itunes or ipod (4th gen) wont update and gives me error =3259

     

    I have the exact same issue, also with an iPod Touch 4th gen. I can't even sync over wifi though. Try this, connect the iPod to the computer, Hold the power and action button for 10 seconds until the iPod turns off, then keep holding the action button. With luck windows will popup that its found a device and may prompt you to re-download itunes to get the iboot driver...
    I was running itunes 10.7.0.21 so I dont know why this is required. hate Crapple some times.
    Download the newest itunes and re-install. It will likely give you the option to repair itunes. Do that. It may help you

  • When i install updates one update fails to update for the monitor and gives a error code 80070005.

    How do I correct error 80070005 for update lcd monitor failure

    Hello chuck1955,
    The error you are getting is usually generated because of either you not being an administrator or having malware on your machine. Now if you can install other updates that makes it a little odd.
    Try the steps in this Microsoft KB just to rule them out as the problem.

  • TS3694 trying to restore my iphone 4 and it gives me error code 1600 screen is black and is in recovery

    unable to restore my iphone 4 screen is black and gives me error code 1600! how can i resolve this issue?

    Sounds like your iPhone is stuck in DFU Mode. Try this, open iTunes on computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, you may need to search the Web for help of DFU Mode Loop.
    Here are the Steps to fix Error 1600 directly from Apple:
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation is stuck on the apple logo, and i tried fixing it with itunes but it tells me there an error and gives me a code saying i needed to update my itunes and it was.what other ways is there to fix it.

    ipod stuck on the apple logo. i did the itunes thing but it tells me error and gives me a code saying i need to update itunes but it was and i did again but it still said the same thing. help how do i fix my ipod.

    Hey Edgar, how exactly did you do the updates? Are you running iTunes 11.2.2? And you iPod 5 is still running iOS 6.1.2 as your tag shows? or are you running iOS 7.1.1?  More info would be helpful. As Deggie asked, what was the error message, the more detailed the better. One more thing-- is this a Mac machine or a PC? Cheers.
