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.

    I tried following the steps in this article. When I attempt to delete iTunes,  it says “iTunes” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X. What other steps could I take to get my MacBook Air to recognize my iphone again? Neither iTunes nor iPhoto recognize my phone any longer.

    iTunes can't be deleted because it comes with OS X. In order to delete it, open Terminal and copy:
    sudo rm /Applications/iTunes.app
    This will remove iTunes, so then you can reinstall iTunes

Our best recommendation is the pay my bill link, which should allow you access based on your former phone number or account number. Did you try both? As an additional option, you can reach our automated system from an alternate line by dialing 800-922-0204 and then entering your former wireless number. http://vz.to/1fdEQVi

    4. In case any of the previous operations work but the settings don't "stick".  There are two plists associated with the settings:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.XXXXX-XXXXXXX.plist
    The first is global to all accounts while the second is in your home directory.  The X's are a sequence of hyphaninated  letters and numbers.  If you can get these removed then it will probably revert to a default resolution.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • How can I put files into the trash without login every time?

    Every time I want to put items in the trash, after dragging things to the basket, I have to sign in.  Why? Can I set the defaul to allow me to do so without login?

    The procedure below will reset the permissions of a user's home folder in OS X 10.7.4 or later, including 10.8 or later. If you're running an earlier version of 10.7, update to the latest version first. This procedure should not be used under OS X versions older than 10.7.4.
    Back up all data before you begin.
    Step 1
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock. A Finder window will open.
    Step 2
    Press the following key combinations, in the order given:
    Command-3
    Shift-command-H
    Command-I (the letter "I" as in "Info.")
    The Info window of your home folder will open.
    Step 3
    Click the lock icon in the lower right corner and authenticate with the name and login password of an administrator on the system. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Step 4
    In the Sharing & Permissions section of the window, verify that you have "Read & Write" privileges. If not, use the "+" and "-" buttons in the lower left corner to make the necessary changes.
    Step 5
    By default, the groups "staff" and "everyone" have "Read Only" privileges. With those settings, the files at the top level of your home folder will be readable by other local users. You can change the privileges to "No Access" if you wish, but then your Public and Drop Box folders will be inaccessible to others. Most likely, you don't need to change these settings.
    Step 6
    If there are entries in the Sharing & Permissions list for users or groups other than "me," "staff," and "everyone," delete them.
    Step 7
    Click the gear icon at the bottom of the Info window and select Apply to enclosed items... from the drop-down menu. Confirm. The operation may take several minutes to complete. When it does, close the Info window.

  • I can't put anything on the trash it keeps saying that it has to be deleted

    I was wondering if there is a way of fixing this problem I have with not being a able to put anything on the trash, it keeps me from being able to delete an application that has to go to the trash can before being deleted and I can't delete songs from itunes unless I go to the folder itself where all the songs are and delete them immediately as it doesn't let me put then on the trash

    Sounds like a permissions issue. Open Disk Utility and repair permissions on your HD.

  • HT2534 I have tried this but it says I do not meet the minimun age requirement. Im 32!

    I am trying to set up an itune account without a credit card. I have been in contact with apple customer support and have followed the prompts on this artical which they emailed to me. They said its like an account for children to download free apps. Ive done evrything right but it says I do not meet the minimum age requirement. I am 32 years old!!!

    Make sure your address is being listed correctly. It can cause issues if invalid information is added. Worst case scenario, reply to that email from support and tell them you stil can't create the account

  • I got the new iPhone 4 but can't put my music on it because it says I need Mac OS X 10.5

    I am trying to put the music from my iTunes account on my MacBook Pro onto my iPhone 4 and it says I must install the new version of iTunes. When I try to install the new version of iTunes it says I can't because I don't have Mac OS X 10.5.

    Specs on the box the iPhone came in and the website for the iPhone:
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download) 
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    Don't meet one of those?
    Then why would you be surprised it doesn't work?
    The only solution is update whatever you need to to meet those specs.

    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.

  • Safari seems to be locked.  Gray screen covers whole screen. You can search but you can not open any of the sights.  Other apps requiring internet work fine.

    I cannot open any websites in Safari on my iPad 2.  There is a gray screen that covers everything.  I can launch a search, it searches and gives me a list but then I cannot open any of them with a click.  Can you help me?

    I am having the exact same problem.  Let me know if you figured it out
