How do I throw something in the trash, that won't go!

I downloaded this piece of whatever it is, to try and recover photos on a CF card. The CF card for some reason wouldn't load the photos onto my computer. I loaded this thing called Untrash in an attempt to recover the photos, and I think it is screwing up something with Aperture. Aperture won't open now. All I get is the spinning beach ball.
I put the device on an external drive. When I tried to put it in the trash and it gives me an error message: The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code-1407) The device is called Digicam clone .dmg.
When I downloaded it, I had to make a copy of it and place it on my external drive. When I get the info on it, it says it is 16 gigs.
How do I get it off of my computer?

Other than an occasional restart, OS X tune-ups are not necessary or required like in Windoz.
It is best just to enjoy your Mac and don't try to fix something that isn't broken.
If you seriously need to free up some Hard Disk Space...(you never said how full it is)...? Your best bet it to move something like an iTunes, iPhoto or iMovie Library to an External Hard Drive. Problem is, that requires at least two or more External Hard Drives, so that your Library(s) are also backed up.
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder

    Icloud wants to delete my photos and docs if I logout of it!

    Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
    mkdir ~/.Trash
    If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
    sudo chown $UID ~/.Trash
    Press return. Enter your admin password (it will be invisible) Press return.Then enter
    chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
    Press return. Log out and back in, or restart.

    Hi! I have a MacBook and I am trying to delete files from Microsoft Word. Somehow I cannot simply throw them in the trash. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

    Why not? Are there error messages? Where are the files located? Why are you deleting MicroSoft Word files?

  • How come now every time i throw something into the recycle bin it asks for my password and when I do it doesn't show in my bin help please!

    How come now every time i throw something into the recycle bin it asks for my password and when I do it doesn't show in my bin help please!

    You're throwing away files that either don't belong to you or are in a folder that doesn't belong to you. Since your user account has Administrator privileges, it just ask you for authentication, else it would forbid the operation.
    To better understand the concept, select one of your files from your home directory and press Control-I. In the info window, check the Sharing & Permissions section at the bottom. Do the same with one of the files that asks for the password.

  • Noobie question: How do I add something to the display list from a non-main class?

    I know how to use addChild() within the main class to add
    something to the stage display list and have it appear on the
    screen, but how do I add something to the stage display list from
    code within another class?
    So for example say I want to add some text (myTextField) to
    the stage's display list from within NotTheMainClass' code, could
    you give an example of the necessary code?

    you must pass a reference to a display list object or create
    one that's available to your class.
    there are so many ways to do this i'm not sure how you want
    to proceed. but you can create a globally available reference to
    the stage and root timeline:

    As indicated in the previous thread you tried to start, you seem incapable of properly resetting and installing the print drivers and as a result your print driver is not properly installed. If you have the advanced color management options with a line through them, then the most current driver and associated files properly installed.
    In the previous thread, you were told exactly what to do to fix your system. Apparently you have still failed to follow the instructions. Other people are able to print properly using the 76/9600 and 2100 printers. Have you wondered why? Are you interested in fixing your system or are you simply hellbent on ranting and raving?

  • EVERY TIME I MOVE SOMETHING TO THE TRASH IT IS ASKING FOR MY PASSWORD? CAN ANYONE HELP?

    EVERY TIME I MOVE SOMETHING TO THE TRASH IT IS ASKING FOR MY PASSWORD? CAN ANYONE HELP?

    Check this Link out.
    When I updated to Mountain Lion my iMac messed up file permissions and always when I booted or started up my iMac it went to terminal screen because start-up disk was read-only. You might have to change file permissions to what it was so your mac won't always ask your permission to do something (assuming you are admin of your mac).
    PRAM reset might help too. Instructions can be found from the discussion that I linked (there's another link for PRAM [parameter random access memory] reset).
    Good luck!

  • Since I started using Lion (10.7.2) I'm prompted to type my password if I want to add a folder or put something in the trash. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

    Since I started using Lion (10.7.2) I'm prompted to type my password if I want to add a folder or put something in the trash. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

    It sounds like the permissions on your Home folder are snarky.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
    You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
    At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
    The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

  • When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it.  I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work.  How do I get rid of it?

    I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete.  I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either.  How do I get this draft to disappear?

    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 - let go of the buttons.
    Or Quit the mail app.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
    Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.
