How to remove  a 'blank' folder on my desk top

G'day
I  have have 3 'blank' i.e. empty folders on my desk top and can't remove them. The background is I bought a cheap USB hub and plugged both of my external ard drives into it and when I tried to back up I managed to create the blanks. I can't drag them into the trash and can't move them around 'cos they immediatley shift back to the same position on my desk top.  Any ideas please?

Udeshini,
what steps are you taking to try to create a new folder on your desktop? Does an error message of some sort appear?

    If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app.   That will dispose of it.

    how do i transfer adobe reader from my desk top to a new lap top?

    You move it as you would move any other data files or documents; nothing special about PDF files.
    Easiest way is to copy them to a memory stick.
    Another way is to upload them to Files or Workspaces at Acrobat.com

  • How to remove the blank lines at the end of the JTextArea .

    Hi,
    I need to remove the blank lines in the JTextArea at the end. Suppose i am giving 'A' in the first line and press the enter key two times, after i am giving the 'B' in the third line and press enter key for two times. I need to remove, the last two lines of JTextAreae, . How i can remove these lines?

    String#trim() removes all whitespace from both ends of the String.
    The requirement was to remove line breaks from the end of the String only.
    String#replaceAll with a suitable regex would do the trick. Untested regex for this:text.replaceAll("[\\n\\r]+$", "")db

    in that describe the internal table in which you are having the document number.If you are having 10 document number then you will be having 10 pages.... so create program lines befor the command line in the command line just give a flag ok.
    when the 10th page is created then the control comes to program line where the pagenumber will be equal to the number of document number there create a flag ( f = 'X') then give this codition in command line.Trigger the command line when ever f NE 'X'.So in the last time new page will not be triggered.

  • How do I move my library to the desk top

    I have many greyed out photos with ! I have tried importing into Aperture and now have iphoto library and iphoto library(1). Both seem to have different photos in them even though I only have one library. Neither have all of the photos from iphoto as the greyed out boxes have not imported. So I think I have to rebuild my library in iphoto in order to import them into Aperture. Or is there a better way?
    The thing is I do not know how to move my library to the desk top before reimporting it. Where do I get the library from? Can you also tell me where the option key is I don't seem to have one labelled option on my keyboard.
    Any help will be welcomed.

    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    The iPhoto Library Folder is at Home/Pictures, and within it there are three folders:
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    If you want to start again, it's the Originals that you want.

  • How do I merge external drive images to desk top drive within the same master catalog?

    I have about 900 raw files on an external drive. I edited those files using my master catalog using a laptop while still travelling. When I got home, I copied the master catalog from the external drive to the desk top, then opened the master catalog on my desktop. I can see the edited images on the external drive. So far so good.
    I want to copy (add) the edited images to my desk top. I tried to export the images as a new catalog and then import it into the desire location on my desktop drive. However, LR5 does not allow that. I get this message: "There is nothing new in the catalog you have selected. All of the catalog's photos are up to date in this catalog." Yes, but the edited  images are not on my desktop.....
    I also tried to Import from the external drive and then Copy the files to the desktop, but then I lose all of the work done in the develop module and the keywords.
    I watched Kost's LR 3 video on merging catalogs, but she dodges the question of how to deal with this issue since the "merge" is within the same catalog.
    I'm using LR5 with Windows 7.
    Any suggestions would be immensely appreciated as I've spent hours trying to resolve this problem.

    Okay, so I would copy (not move) the folders/photos to the internal HD, keeping them in the same folder hierarchy as they are in now on the external HD. Yes, of course the drive name will be different, but other than that the folder path and file name should be the same.
    Then, open the LR catalog that indexes the files and Update Folder Location (details are here: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm, scroll down to the "Update Folder Location" section)
    Then, once that is complete and everything is working in your LR catalog, with no question marks on the photos or folders, optionally delete the photos on the external HD.

  • How do I get my Mac Book Pro desk top back to the right size?

    My son was using my Mac Book Pro this morning and managed to enlarge both the desk top and any browser I use - Safari, Firefox etc.  I am unable to get them back to the right size and have to keep shifting across to see what files I have etc.  Can anyone give me advice on how to put it back to normal.  I have tried looking at 'view options' and also in trackpad, mouse and keyboard in preferences but to no avail.  Note that the files on the desk top are not smaller or bigger - it is the actual desktop which has increased in size and is no longer contained within the frame of the screen.  Would be grateful for any help and thank you.

    Did you try CONTROL and two finger drag on the trackpad?

  • How to remove unnecessary blank(white) page when using FileDownload UI

    Hi, all.
    My env is like the following.
    NW2004s SPS11.
    i tried the file upload/download sample.
    Uploading and Downloading Files in SAP NetWeaver 7.0
    /people/bertram.ganz/blog/2007/05/25/new-web-dynpro-java-tutorials--uploading-and-downloading-files-in-sap-netweaver-70
    Of course, it works well in normal situation but FileDownload shows
    unnecessary behavior like the following.
    - How to produce : Download file with allowSave behavior option
    - Phenomena : File Download pop-up window is displayed but the
        unnecessary blank(white) page also displayed and this page
        persists even when the download is finished.
    And is there any way to remove this unnecessary page behind the
    pop-up window?
    Best Regards.&#12288;
    Sejoon

    Hi,
        It is not possible to close the blank window that appears while downloading programmatically from within your Web Dynpro application. The user must manually close it.

  • A blank white rectangle appears infront of loading pages, forced to click it closed. How to remove these blanks from happening?

    I click a link and while page is loading, a single wide blank rectangle with an x in the upper right corner pops up. I am forced to close it by clicking the X. I cannot click on the desired 'loaded page' that sits behind the blank box at all. This happens throughout the day, everyday for the last 3 months. So annoying. I am not computer savvy. I took a pic for you to see, but I cannot figure out how to send it to you.
