  • HT1751 I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays The item "iTunes" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.

    I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays: The item “iTunes” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.

    Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
    If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

  • How can I uninstall Kaspersky? The item "Kaspersky Anti-Virus.app" can't be moved to the Trash because it's open.' I did not open it in fact. Please advise. Thanks.

    How can I uninstall Kaspersky to install Mckeeper ?
    The item 'Kaspersky Anti-Virus.app' can't be moved to the Trash because it is opened'. Actually I did not open it.
    Please advise, thanks.

    Remove "Kaspersky Security" by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different. The product includes a Safari extension that may not be removed by the uninstaller.
    Back up all data before making any changes.

  • Does anyone know what The item "F0448200" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted, mean?

    Does any one know what this means? The item “F0448200” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.  It popped up on my desktop and I do not know what it is or how to delete it.

    When you do Get Info on that file what application does it show that file to be associated with?

  • The item "safari.jsp.download" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't

    I understand there is no way around the poor server quality issue, but I have received the following error when I visited a site and gotten an automatic download:
    The item “safari.jsp.download” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.
    Is there a way around this. I hate the fact the icon is staying on my desktop. I can't move it to a folder, Applications, or the trash. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    You need to quit Safari either from the Safari menu bar, Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
    Move the file to the Trash. Now empty the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.
    More insight to the .jsp file here.

  • I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

    I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

    Hi An Iphone user,
    If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
    How do I delete a message?
    To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
    After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Regards,

  • "[Filename]" is too big for the trash. Would you like to delete it permanently?

    Recently, when I delete files, I am getting a message stating, ""[Filename]" is too big for the trash. Would you like to delete it permanently?". This recently started showing up for no reason and in the past I have deleted files significantly bigger and not recieved this message. Any ideas why this is showing up and how I can stop it from happening?
    For reference, I have a 768GB SSD with approximately 470GB of space available so space is not the issue.

    nbar, it seems that this trash issue is a reoccuring issue and that it is resetting itself. I followed the article that provided a link to, but after following the steps and finding success, it started doing it again.
    If anyone has any idea on what might be causing this issue, it would be greatly appreciated...not a life or death situation...just really annoying.

  • I sent Firefox to the trash on my mac but can not empty the trash because of locked files. I want to do a fresh install because the update made it impossible for me to get into my e-mai account. how do I delete the old firefox?

    re: uninstalling by moving Firefox to the trash: i received the following message: There are some locked items in the Trash. Do you want to remove all the items, including the locked ones, or just the unlocked items?
    I have tried to un lock and to remove all items and have been unsuccessful - repeatedly.

    Try:
    * http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1402 Unable to move, unlock, modify, or copy an item in Mac OS X
    Open the file information via one of these methods:
    * Right click on the File or use the File menu and select "Get Info"
    * Mark all files and press Command + Alt + I
    In the "General" tab remove the check-mark in "Locked"
    Trash and delete them.

  • I moved some time machine back-ups to the trash and I cannot move or delete them?

    I was trying to make room in my Time Machine back-up disk and I moved some files to the trash.  Now I cannot delete or move them.  What can I do?

    The answer depends on exactly what you did to delete the files.
    In general, it is not advisable to delete Time Machine backups using the Finder. Time Machine works in conjunction with Spotlight to organize Time Machine backups. Deleting files required Spotlight to work overtime, and it is possible that this action corrupted its database.
    If this happened, it is fixable.

  • I dragged some of the Time Machine backup folders into the Trash and now I can't empty them out of the trash because it says the applicaiotns ar ruining - what can I do?

    I have dragged soem of my Time Machine folders into the Trash. Now when I try to empty the Trash it says it cannot empty some of the files because the applicaitons are running.
    What can I do to delete them and completely empty the Trash.
    NOTE: the Trash is on my iMac, not the Time Machine backup drive.
    Thanks!

    Greetings Dennis,
    Time Machine handles file deletion of its backups or you can use the Time Machine window to tell Time Machine to delete specific files: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427

  • The trash keeps saying that it will delete my files immediately

    Hello to all. I have a little problem with the trash. When I throw something into it, it says that my file is going to be deleted immediately, and it doesn't hold any files inside. This keeps doing all the time, in every file I throw inside it. What should I do?

    Go to /Applications /Utilities/Terminal and launch it.
    At the prompt, copy and paste this command
    sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
    Press Return.
    You will be asked to enter your admin password. It will be invisible.
    Enter it and press Return.
    Log out and back in or restart.
    Let us know.

  • The item "doc.download" can't be moved to the trash because it cant be deleted

    please see title question

    Do a Get Info, CMD-I, on the File. Is it locked?
    Open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste this command -- important, leave a space -- then drag the file into the Terminal window and hit return. Please post the output. You can just close the window, when finished.

  • How can I enable iTunes Sync to move deleted to the Trash in Outlook instead of directly deleting from my PST file?

    I use several Apple Devices: iPhone 3GS (yes, archaic), iPhone 4S, iPad, and iPad 2 for personal, and work.
    I use iTunes with MS Outlook 2010 to store all my information (e-mail, contacts, calendar, notes, etc).
    When any information changes, it is updated throughout my devices. There has been a time or two when I have accidently deleted information. I want to make sure that I can undelete the information at those times.
    When I 'Allow' iTunes to delete the information, it does not move to Trash in Outlook and instead it removes it completely from Outlook. This removes any possibility to restore the infomation at a future date if the need arises.
    This is a very important function which I miss, granular notification of every change that will take place and the ability to stop each change; when I used Blackberry Desktop with my Torch.
    Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the issu? My work around, currently, is to copy the existing PST file to a different locaion. Then, if I need to restore, I would just open the PST file and copy the item(s) back into the working PST file. This is really quite cumbesome.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
    You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
    You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
    I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • HT201628 Okay I tried this but I can't put iTunes in the trash because it's "required by mac OS X".. What do I do?

    iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone... I just want to sync my phone...

    Launch Activity Monitor in Utilities, select All Processes and see if you can see your application listed. Select it and click on the big red 'quit process' button at the top. Now try to delete the app.
