Folder Preferences Won't Let me Uncheck Delete This Folder (if emptied)

When using Preferences, Windows Settings, Folders: When using the 'Delete' action, I can't uncheck 'Delete the Folder (if emptied).'
I'm trying to simply delete the contents of a folder on a regular basis, but with this setting checked, it will also delete the folder.
If I use a different 'Action', like 'Replace', I AM able to uncheck 'Delete the Folder (if emptied), but that's not the Action I want to use.
Has anyone else seen this? Am I missing something?

> I'm trying to simply delete the contents of a folder on a regular basis,

Yes, what else would you expect? You have an item that says "this folder
- delete", so it deletes the folder and all of its contents. That's
exactly the behavior I'd expect...
If you need the folder to exist, simply recreate it in a second item.

I keep getting an error code -50 and won't let me save, delete, or open certain apps. Any ideas?

I was using my MacBook and typing in my assignment when it told me that autosave did not work. I tried to save and it would not let me. Tried to email and it would not let me. Tried to delete stuff off since it did say it was a memory issue but it won't let me do that. Can't empty my trash, or get rid of files. If i open another file it says that I can't save it either. Any ideas how to fix this?

Did you try rebooting?

I want to install onyx but my security preferences won't let me download it. Is it safe to change them and download from an unidentified developer? Will they be able to access my information?

1. If you just want to run one application, control-click it and choose Open instead of changing the setting. This only needs to be done once per application.
2. Ensure that you trust any software you choose to open in this way.

Never seen anything like it. Do iPads get virus'?
Thanks for any help. I've never used this before.
Linda

There are no viruses for the iPad. Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hello Makena Little,
It sounds like you are unable to change your wallpaper background because that section of your System Preferences says that it is loading adn will not finish. I recommend performing a Safe Boot, then leaving it and retesting the issue:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Tried to connect my messages from my phone to my macbook, but the accounts tab under preferences won't let me type in my Apple ID and I can't save, cancel, or exit out of the window

I just got a new MacBook Pro today. My friend explained to me how to connect my messaged from my phone to my Mac, since they weren't connected yet. I opened Messages > Preferences > Accounts. My Apple ID and account info was already there and it was enabled, but the messages still weren't syncing, so I disabled it and tried to add the account again. I went to put in my account info, but I realized there was no space to put in my Apple ID, even though it said to. I typed in my first and last name, password and country, but when I clicked "save" nothing happened. The section that asked my ID, name and password disappeared, the "save" button keeps flashing, and I can't "cancel" or exit out of the window. If I press "cancel", an alert message appears but all it says is "(null)". How can I fix this so that I can exit out of it? It won't let me shut down because of this.

It will only sync with new messages received after Mac's Messages is configured and running.
It will not synced old messages.

ICloud has the wrong I'd and keeps coming on my screen and won't let me change it this is an iPhone 5c and I can't use the phone

MMy iPhone has the wrong I'd in the iCloud settting and it keeps coming on and asking for a pass word that doesn't exist and neither does the id So what to do to get rid of it because I can't use my phone! It won't let me do anything

If so, go to id.apple.com, manage apple id, sign in with current id, edit email back to the one showing in icloud settings. You can now sign out of icloud with your current password. Then back to id.apple.com, change your email back to the current one, verify it and sign back in to icloud.

IPhone 4 won't let me trash/delete emails or move them

My system preferences won't let me change anything

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, my system preferences have been broken. Anything which requires a button to be clicked for a new window to open (the most recent time is when I tried to change my gatekeeper settings) simply does nothing. I've repaired my permissions, reinstalled Mavericks, nothing has worked so far.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this? I've also tried disabling gatekeeper in Terminal but it isn't working. However let me stress, it's not just gatekeeper that is broken, clicking the often present "Advanced" or "Assist me" buttons also do nothing at all.
Thanks for any help!

Change Apple ID. I changed my Apple ID email to a new one but iCloud continues to prompt me for a password with my old email address. How do I change that? It won't let me even delete or access iCloud without a password for the old Apple ID.

When I got the iPhone about 4 weeks ago, I used an email for the apple ID and set it all up. Then I changed my Apple ID but now iCloud constantly prompts me with my old apple ID. How do I change this? I cannot make any changes to all the things I downloaded with the old Apple ID. I just updated my software to iOS7. I'm not sure if that changes anything (I am very new to the iPhone)

I had this problem for a while but i finally found a way that worked for me.
My old icloud account asked me for the password that i didnt have. And my old email was not registered as a valid appleid.
So i created a new apple id with my old email and a new password. Signed in no problems and then i could finally delete the old icloud account and sign in with my real one.
Hope this works for you

ICloud system preferences won't let me log in

I recently changed my apple ID password and now I can't log in to the icloud system preferences on my iMac or the App Store on my iMac. Everything else is fine with the new password; icloud.com, itunes, ipad, iphone, MacBook Air. Have tried creating a new user account but get the same messages which vary from "unrecognized user or password" to "problem communicating with icloud, try again later."
Thanks for any help.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button).
Similarly, you can sign out of the Mac App Store using the sign out option from the store menu.

Optic disc drive not working for picture cd's. System preferences won't let me change off ignore.

When I insert a picture cd, it just gets spit back out. When I check under system preferences, in the space asking what to do when a picture cd is inserted, it defaults to ignore and I can't change it. Any ideas on how to resolve this? DVD player works fine. Music cd's sometimes work. Thanks.

Every time I try to edit our account at Itunes, I get this message: "YOUR SESSION HAS TIMED OUT. TRY AGAIN" Anything i am doing wrong? How do I get to the accounting department without getting this message?

I am having this problem too. I recently changed ISP b/c I wanted the iPhone, so I had to update my iTunes username to my Gmail account.
In fact, I logged in HERE using it as my new Apple Id... so it works!
But for some **** reason that is driving me nuts my iPhone will not connect to the iTunes store using my new Apple Id. It keeps saying my email has changed or is invalid and asks me to sign in to change it. So I do that, and it lets me in USING MY NEW Apple ID!!!! Then I go back out to the buy the App and the madness starts all over.
Come on Apple, do you want me to buy your apps, or what?

How do DL this without DLing the adaware? My avira won't let me DL with this adaware activated?

Mozilla became slow to open, so I deleted so as to reload. Now when I try to reload my avira shows ad-aware/ virus being installed and recommends computer be cleaned which when I do this then the Mozilla never DL.'s ( this was on my Desk Top. ) so needles to say I have no Mozilla on it now and am forced to use Chrome or IE. which I dislike, but still I don.t need to download any more Adware to my PC either, Any suggestion, ideas?
Thanks

Is the antivirus not allowing the download or not allowing the installation? What site are you using as the source of Firefox? You should get it from Mozilla. You can have the antivirus disabled while you install Firefox.
