How do I override "error code -61" when attempting to put things in the Trash? Cannot empty Trash or use Secure Empty Trash.

How do I override "error code -61" when attempting to put items in the Trash?  Cannot empty Trash or use Secure Empty Trash. I have a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

The reason why some of the files are blocking the trash from emptying is because of specific ".app" files from third party companies like Adobe products. Not the user files or the various help documents but instead the actual mother program. Here's how to fix this problem:
1) remove from the trash all the actual software programs like Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver and so on and put them on the desktop.
2) Command "I" (info) and when the dialog box opens go to the "Name & Extension" text box and remove the ".app" from the software name. Example: Photoshop.app change to Photoshop.
3) the program icon will change to a "folder icon".
4) put the folder icon back into the trash and you should be able to now empty the trash.
If you continue to get the error code 8003 it's because you may still have one or more software programs in the trash that needs to go through this process. Remember - it's not the user files or help documents or supporting files that is causing this but instead the "actual product programs".

    How do you resolve error code 36 when trying to restore an iPad that has been reset to original settings?

    MB-
    As far as I can tell, Error Code 36 is an "I/O Error".  It may mean you have a bad USB cable between the iPad and your computer, or the cable was not plugged in firmly.
    See if this helps with your Restore:  <iOS:  Unable to Update or Restore>.

  • Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

  • Error Code 80070005 when attempting to install KB2931356

    After confirming that I am not an active victim of a virus or malware, I disable my Avast AV software and once again received Error Code 80070005 when trying to install Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008
    R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems (KB2931356).
    When I attempted to implement the solutions described in http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/61ce9777-aaac-41b5-ac02-eae76759d1d3/windows-update-error-80070005 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968003/en-us, which are slightly
    different, I received the following output immediately after running the respectively prescribed Reset file.
    I know not what to do next!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Jim

    Yolanda,
    Thank you very much for your concern and your assistance!
    Unless you instructor otherwise, I will implement the following steps:
    1. Download the System Update Readiness Tool from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/what-is-the-system-update-readiness-tool and run.
    2. Shutdown PC.
    3. Start PC.
    4. Disable Avast Free A/V SW.
    5. Install Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems (KB2931356).
    6. Post outcome here.
    7. If install fails, upload the cbs file (windows\logs\cbs) and windows update log (%windir%\Windowsupdate.log) here for further analysis.
    Thank you, again, for helping me.
    Sincerely,
    Jim Kochanski
     I followed all of the steps above.
    When I went to install the update, seven were available and all seven failed (see below).
    The log files were too large to cut and paste therefore you can find them at:
    http://www.mediafire.com/view/vqm41z2bghb85fq/WindowsUpdate.log
    http://www.mediafire.com/view/q9dc84kf6ftm31d/CBS.log
    I was just wondering if anyone was trying to help me with this?
    Thanks!

  • Why do I get error code -8003 when attempting to empty the trash?

    I moved a number of folders from a back-up drive (using Time Machine) to the trash, and have had no success in getting them out of the trash.  Option+Empty, Option+Secure Empty Trash, after using Disk Utility to repair permissions and then try again, and the TrashIt! app.. nothing is working.  I'm not in need of the space, I just want to get rid of the items.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I can't even find 'Error Code -8003' anywhere.  tx

  • Load error code 11 when attempting to open .vi from library

    Hello,
    Recently a colleague sent me a .llb containing a VI and sub-VIs of a program needed for my research.  The VI opens correctly but none of the sub-VIs can be found by it and when I attempt to open the sub-VIs I get load error code 11: VI version (6.0) cannot be converted to the current Labview verstion (8.5.1) because is has no block diagram. 
    I am running Vista with 8.5.1 and attempting to open a library of version 6.0.  I do not know what OS the library was compiled on.  (Linux is a possibility)  The colleague who sent me the program does not know either, as he recieved it from another colleague whom he is no longer in contact with.
    I am fairly certain the library was saved with block diagrams, so I do not think that is the source of the error.
    Does anyone know what might be a way to get these sub-VIs working?

    Okay,
    File posted.  Someone please tell me if this has a block diagram on it.

  • Why do I get Error Code 35 when attempting to mount external hard drive?

    When I use Finder to Go, Servers, Connect to Server I am prompted to enter password. After I do that I hit Connect again which connects to the Server (Airport Extreme) and I see the external drive highlighted but then gives me Error Code 35. I had it working earlier but something is now obviously messed up. I have rebooted, restarted, hard restarted Airport, disconnected and reconnected hard drive. Help!!!! Does anyone know what Error Code 35 means on OS 10.4.11?

    Error code -35 means "No such volume; volume not found". Not terribly helpful.
    You have already tried everything I would have suggested. Maybe someone else will have some suggestions?
