How do I trash locked files I down loaded onto my mac, fom my old PC
from the external hard drive I had my
old pc backed up on , and tried to throw a lot of it away on my mac, but there are quite a few locked files that will simply not go away , and even if i drag it of the desk top so I dont have to look at it , one copy remains behind, how do I trash these locked windows files , actualy I fell asleep backing the PC up and copied the entire operating system onto this external Hard drive , and I am sur they were never meant to be trashed , so how can I get rid of them?
Hi Jkevin, When you do Apple+I get info on one of these files, does it give you any info about being locked? Have you tried opening the terminal Applications>Utilities and typing sudo rm (and drag the offending file here) and then hit return, enter your password.
Cheers

The new edition of fire fox will not down load onto my Mac
when I click the icon to download the download bar shows busy but nothing happens and it times out.
Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).
*http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/25.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.10 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox.

How do i share a file so another user of my mac pro can access
Hi
I have a file on my mac pro that I want others to use for presentations without them seeing all my private info. I have set up a new user but how do I share the file the other user on my mac pro can see it?Place the files you want to transfer on the Desktop
Click on the Finder or desktop to swtich to Finder, then Go > Computer, then double click on the boot drive, then on the Users folder.
Open the target User folder and inside is a Public folder > Drop Box, just drag and drop in there and the permissions change so that user can use the file. -
How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?
How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.
When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

iPhoto app won't down load because My mac is a lion 10.7.5 I need 10.10 ? how do I download iPhoto, and other apps that won't download? They were uninstalled by mackeeper (with me as an unwitting accomplice Thanks
I've reinstalled lion os 10.7.5 and got the app store app back.
Even though iPhoto etc are purchased by me in app store, theres no way they'll download.then
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
