FW File Stuck on Desktop | 00000002

This file showed up on my desktop immediately after a crash.
If I try to drag it to trash, I get this...
It won't open, and upon right clicking -> get info, it does nothing.
Anyone had this happen before / know how to remove it?
Thanks!

Oh i forgot, some days ago, i managed to download the original file (it's a subtitle file), and the new one 'fused' with this that cannot be deleted, than i deleted it, and worked. Later, after restart the 0kb file appeared again.

Skype .dmg file stuck on desktop

Hi everyone,
I have read some advice on similar problems and tried lots but nothing works. I have installed Skype on my laptop and correctly made the dock alias from the applications window but I can't Eject the .dmg from my desktop. Please help it's really annoying me now!

Thank you very much!
I'm not sure what disc utilities is all about but I ejected it from there and it worked!
Hooray!

I have a folder and 3 files stuck on my desktop. When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password. I do this but the files and folder will not delete. I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked?

I have an empty folder and 3 .jpg files stuck on my desktop. When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password. I do this but the files and folder will not delete. I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked and I have full read & write access. Grateful for any assistance in solving this problem.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
ls -@Oaen De* | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

When I open my HD on the left w/ the list of major folders is a file, stuck

Sorry the question is confusing.
When I open my HD on the left pannel there's the list of all of the major folders, desktop, documents, applications, etc. On the very bottom there is a video file stuck in that list. I've deleted it but it's still there. Whenever I drag it from the list to the garbage it disapears until the next time I open my HD, at which point it is still there.
Whenever I click on the file to play it or something a message pops up that it's volume can't be found.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jacob

I can't save files to my desktop, but I can save anywhere else. How do I fix this?

I can't save files to my desktop. I have no problem saving the same file anywhere else. WHen I try through excel, for example, it tells me the file is read only. When I try to save it as a different file name, a pop up tells me I do not have permission to save to the desktop. The same issue occurs when I attempt to take a screen shot (default save to desktop)

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing and Permissions or Ownership and Permissions, and ensure it's not locked.

So I have a file on my desktop and I cannot open it, move it to a folder, or delete it from my mac. I dont know what it has in it, and that makes me suspicious. What can I do to remove this unremovable file from my computer? Is it a virus?

First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal. This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences. I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place! So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. In the Terminal, enter the following:
sudo rm -f
Make sure to put a space after the "-f"! Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window. That should insert the path to the file in the command. Then go back to the Terminal and press return. You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure. Press return again after entering your password. The file should be deleted.

When I move a file from the desktop to trash, the file only moves to the trash after I open the trash

So if I have a file on the desktop and I delete it, it makes the 'throwing it in the trash' sound but the trash can icon stays empty (if I don't already have something there) until I click on trash, and the file still appears to be on my desktop until I click the trash. If, after I've moved something to the trash, I then drag the file that seems to still be there around the desktop and drop it somewhere randomly, the file moves itself from the trash back onto the desktop! Can anyone help?
Thanks, Dan

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have Time Machine setup to backup your hard drive? If so you can use it to recover the files.
If not you will need to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It lets you run the application to check the drive for files that can be recovered before having to purchase it. There are other similar applications out there also. You can go to VersionTracker.com and search for "file recovery" to get other possible apps.
There are recovery services that can do the job for you. They are pretty expensive but if you can't get the recovery application to work they are another option.
Try to use the computer as little as possible beforehand so you don't run the risk of overwriting the deleted files.

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

Hello,
We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
file.
I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

Hello Bria,
What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items:
User
Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Prevent access to specified drives in My
Computer
There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

I cannot move, rename, or delete a file from my desktop

I have a file on my desktop that was recently sent to me. It is called filename.pdf.download
I have tried the help advice on the apple website and in the forums, but I can't seem to delete this file. I cannot even rename it or add it to the trash. The file cannot be moved at all on my desktop. I can't "get info" on the file either or see if it is locked, or try to unlock it. When I click "get info", nothing happens.
When I try to move the file to the trash, this message comes up: The filename.pdf.download can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.
Any suggestions on how to get this thing off my desktop?
Thanks!

Try the suggestions on this article.

Cannot Delete .fpbf File from my Desktop

I tried burning photos onto a CD a few weeks ago and the burn failed. I now have a .fpbf file on my desktop, that shows all the pic files, but appears to be empty. When I click on the pic files, I get the following message: "The alias “Beautiful LuLu.JPG” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
When I try to delete the .fpbf file, or drag it into the Trash folder, I get asked to input my password, and nothing happens.
How can I delete this unused folder from my Desktop?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a 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.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Then do a Get Info on both your Desktop folder & that file, what rights does it show for them? Are they locked?
Might try Trash it...

Reading File from a Desktop/ShareFolder in SAP MII 14.0

Dear Experts,
I have a situation where I want to read a CSV file from a source different than SAP MII server. Basic intention is to read a file from a desktop or some shared folder.
My first doubt is- Is it really possible in SAP MII 14.0 version?
But still I tried doing the same. Used Get File Text Loader action and text loader and provided file path from desktop which gives me an error. Here's the syntax I tried with mask as .csv:
C://Users/XXX/Desktop
C:\Users\XXX\Desktop
C:/Users/XXX/Desktop
Error I get is as follows:
[ERROR] [Get_File_List_0]GetFileList: Access to the file path /C://Users/XXX/Desktop is not allowed
Please advise, if it is really possible in MII 14.0 . If yes, Am I missing any steps?
Regards

Hi Kirti
To read/load a file from your desktop you will need to execute some form of client side program like HTML or JS or applets. MII Transactions run on the MII server and would point to the Server's C:/ if the server has such a folder. Usually users do not have access to C drive of servers. Hence you see the error.
You will need to write some program that executes on your desktop and pulls the file from your system and then posts to the server.

How do u transfer a file from a desktop to an ipad?

I installed itunes and have the usb cable connected. I can see the ipad. How do i transfer files from my desktop to the ipad?

Depends what kind of files, you have to have apps that allow for file sharing in itunes. (if this is what you are refering to). Directions can be found in the help tab of the itunes toolbar.
Transfer files between your computer and mobile apps
If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later software, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.

How can I remove a downloaded file from the desktop?

Hi,
I downloaded an install Internet Call Director exe file from my internet privider then was told that their system couldn't run on Mac OS 10. There are two files on my desktop that I can't remove. When I drag either one to the trash i get this message. "the item installICD.EXE is being used by another task right now.(Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the trash.)" There is nothing else running. I have tried renaming the file,Clearing the download manager, and anything else I could think of. The files will not open and will not delete even using CMD delete. I am not a computer person! How can I get rid of the files??
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

If you haven't already done so, change the filenames so that they have an extension of .rtf, and then open TextEdit. Overwrite both files with blank TextEdit documents and then throw away the TextEdit documents.
If the TextEdit method doesn't work, open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Finder"
set file type of (selection as alias) to "1234"
end tell
Select the file in the Finder and run the script. Repeat this for the second file; when done, try throwing them away again.
