How can I get 18 Localized.rsrc's out of my trash can?

How's that for a dumb question. What happened was - I stupidly moved my Palm software to an external hard drive for a back-up of it. I had a HORRIBLE time unmounting my hard drive because of the message that it couldn't be completed because some unknown something was in use. I quit, restarted, deleted, redeleted, restarted, read all the help info on unmounting, did everything they said and 2 hours later, SOMEHOW my external hard drive unmounted. But ever since then, I can't empty my trash without bypassing this message 18 times!!!! "The operation cannot be completed because the item "Localized.rsrc" is in use." I've tried to spotlight it and it seems like it has something to do with different languages from possibly Filemaker Mobile which I use in my cell phone. I've tried to unlock it; its not locked. A folder named "Palm" and a document named "Palm Desktop" are stuck in the trash can. Any ideas?

Hi, Elaine!
If you're an admin user, then do this:
Rename the folder on your desktop with the items to be deleted, naming the folder myproblemtrash. Launch Terminal from the Utilities Folder. Copy/paste the following command to the terminal screen:
sudo rm -r ~/desktop/myproblemtrash
Press Return. Enter your admin user password when prompted. Within a second or so, the folder and its contents should be completely deleted from the disk.

ps: I used "myproblemtrash" so that you could easily and correctly copy/paste the command for the correct, corresponding folder into Terminal.

How do i get my application folder out of the trash

I was deleting some files from my computer and accidentally put my applications folder in the trash. Now I can't get it out. I still have my application folder visible in my finder but it doesn't have the Application Folder icon. It has a normal folder icon. All my apps are visible in both the trashed folder and the application folder in my finder, however, when I do a Spotlight search for a specific application, it says it's only location is in the trash.
How do I get my applications back?
Rimoeng

Click on the Trash icon which swill open the Trash window. Select the Applications folder and drag it to its original location which is the root directory of your hard drive. You may be asked to authenticate by entering your admin password.

How can I get read only files out of the trash?

Either by deleting them, or moving them out. I have to click continue about 170 times just to get through the files to empty the rest of my trash.

Unlock them first.
Open terminal.app,
enter the following command:
sudo chflags -R nouchg ~/.Trash
(press return, enter admin password, press return again)
#this will unlock them in THE CURRENT user directory Trash folder#

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?

How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?
I have been trying to convert images created in webex and transferred to illustrator into 300 dpi tifs. They download as ucf's when generated on white board. Or I have to upload files from other webex participants coming in at 72 dpi, converting them to something bigger in photoshop to paint in before taking them back into the webex session as a doc that then gets worked on further during the session. Later they go into illustrator for some more work with vectors. That's fine for the web but now a publisher wants them as 300 dpi tifs and I can only get things back & forth as 72 dpi pdf's. If I try to bump them up with a resample, they come out teensy weensy. What am I missing and is there any way to make them look good?

What I need is to be able to transfer the images between formats without degradation of the resolution and find ways to sharpen what I have even if I can't increase pixels. If the original I'm delivered is a 96 dpi power point slide, for example, that's what I have to work with, I'm using Illustrator to compensate with vectors. But then I still need to get it back to a 300 dpi tiff to meet the specs.

How do I get a stuck cd out of my drive

How do I get a stuck CD out of my drive on my macbook. It shows up when I first start my computer up. I press eject and it makes some sounds, but doesn't eject. The CD then is gone from my desktop. I have to re-start my computer to see the CD and try again to eject.
Anyone have a solution here ??

Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

My airport extreme is flashing amber it says i need a ip address .... it was working just fine yesterday until i had to reboot cable modem how do i get my extreme to work again so i can have wireless

my airport extreme is flashing amber it says i need a ip address .... it was working just fine yesterday until i had to reboot cable modem how do i get my extreme to work again so i can have wireless..... please help!!!

Hi again Jen,
Most internet providers utilize "dhcp" -- you might want to check to see if your extreme is set to that function.
If you want to try, you need to go into airport utility and select MANUAL setup/ then click NETWORK button on top of the window. /select TCP/IP -- make sure that you see "Using DHCP" not MANUAL in the configuration window. If you do see using dhcp, click the renew dhcp lease button. Then you'd have to do the power down/up cycle again. If all this doesn't work, you can do a hard reset on your Extreme, which will bring it back to the way it came out of the box, then go through the same proccess that was used to set it up originally.
