sigh...this is quite idiotic, but I have found a solution. It was quite simple, really, and yet quite idiotic. I share it for all those reading so that, if you know of anyone else that did what i did, you can easily be the "hero" in their lives.
After a continued search via youtube or what have you for any possible solutions, I kept coming back to the fact that I was told by my computer that I didn't have "permission" to do the file deletion. I stumbled upon a youtube video that talked about "unlocking", "locking", certain files and what not.
Long story short, the reason why I couldn't do anything to the files that were on my desktop was due to my "locking" the desktop folder. I must have done this a while back not knowing what I was doing nor the ramifications of clicking a simple box.
I undid this by:
Opening Up Finder
then, going to MacHD --> Users --> My Account Folder
clicking on Desktop Folder, I "cmd+I"
I then, unclicked the "locked" option
I went down to the cog/settings and selected "Apply to enclosed items"
resulting then in having all my files on my desktop free accessiblity and delete-ability....
oi...at least I now  know what "locking" a folder (even the desktop folder) can do to other files held within it

  • HT1310 do you have any programs that can hold the start up manager everytime when I turn on the computer?

    Do you have any programs that can hold the start up manager everytime when I turn on the computer?

    I am not sure but if they do have the way to do it, I would like to try. But I prefered the easy way  ^_^
    I do have intel iMac and the version of OS X is 10.9.1 .
    Thank you  so much

  • Yesterday I downloaded Lion. It looked really nice. I then noticed several of my programs that worked flawlessly in Snow Leopard STOPPED working. One of them was my SilverFast scanning software.A new version would cost $450.00. I am going back to Snow Le

    I downloaded Lion yesterday. What a nightmare.
    Before even using it, I noticed several of my programs would not work with Lion.
    My Appleworks 6 program was dead as well as some other programs that I had been using for yrs. I have a dual core iMac.
    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    This was only the tip of the iceberg.
    I needed to do some scanning for a client. Well, low and behold my Silverfast scanning software for my Microtek 9800XL would not work.
    I went to the SilverFast web page looking for a download to fix this. No such luck. If I wanted to use my scanner with Lion, I would have to purchase a newer version for $450.00.
    Then I went to the Microtek web page, nothing there. I called Microtek and they said they were working on the problem but couldn't tell me it would be available.
    I called Apple customer support. The person I spoke with, Scott, was able to help me. The solution. I will get a refund doe Lion and for $16.00 they are going to send me Snow Leopard on a disk. Problem here is I have to reformat my drive. I have a full back up with Time MAchine, but he wasn't sure if I would lose some of my programs when this was done.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Given my love of Apple products, I own a lot of Apple stock bought it when it was $45.00,This new OS is a real disaster.
    If you are going to use Lion, I would be careful and call Apple first before downloading.
    I also asked Scot what would happen if my computer crashed and I had no disk to reinstall. He said some Apple stores are selling Lion on a flash drive.
    I believe this is one way for Apple to make ore profits at the cost of the consumer. Apple has more cash on hand then the US government.
    I never expected Apple to do something like this. This is something Microsoft would do as they alwasy seem to rush their new OS without fully testing it.

    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
    I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

  • I have the CA ISS security suite program - Can I install it on to my lap top using my Fire Fox?

    I am interested in using my CA ISS security suite program on my Fire Fox. Do I uninstall my CA ISS security suite from the old Internet Explorer first and and then install it on my new Fire Fox? Thank you-I love the Fire Fox.

    Sorry, downgrading is not supported.

  • I teach at an online university. We use Office Web Access at the University. Using OWA, Internet Explorer offers me options (like searching old emails) that MF doesn't provide. Why is this?

    To repeat, MF seems to offer fewer options at this university when I use Office Web Access.

    Hi guys,
    I talked with the team about this on Friday last week, I'm sorry we haven't gotten back to you sooner.
    Our initial recommendation would be to recompile your application to use HTMLLoader.  While StageWebView uses the OS web rendering engine, the HTML control still uses the built in webkit.  However, I realize that you might not have access to the original code, be unable to distribute an update, etc.
    Our intent with this change was to have StageWebView use a light weight interface to the OS rendering engine.  We wanted you to have the best performance possible with the most up to date security.  There were other issues we were also trying to tackle, such as decarbonizing on Mac that also influenced our decision.
    All that said, we get where you are coming from, especially with Windows.  I don't think it would be unreasonable to have an api that would allow you to choose if you want StageWebView to use the internal webkit or the OS version.  Maybe the default would be to use the internal webkit so that older apps aren't impacted.  This would be a great bug report / feature request.  Getting comments and votes from other developers would also allow us insight into who is using this feature and has been effected by our changes.
    If you'd like to enter a bug, please let me know the bug number and I'll take it to the team for review.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    You may select how and whether Firefox updates, although like most software it may be sensible to keep it up-to-date, it is more likely to remain secure and compatible with other software whilst up to date.

  • I am using a mac book pro lap top. I am trying to access a program named Cengage. Fire Fox is blocking the pop up. How do I enable this feature ?

    When trying to access the site Cengage. Firefox provides a pop-up feature so that I can't access the site.

    Hello vdurphey, go from 3-bar menu button > Preferences > Content panel > '''Uncheck''' the '''Block pop-up window'''s
    '''OR (i think better option)''' add an exception to your site in '''Exceptions...'''

  • My Mac keeps crashing while in safari, iphoto, and whenever I try to go to applications.  It will close every program that I have open.  Any ideas?

    Safari, Iphoto crash about 50 percent of the time i try to use them.  And when I go to the applications on the bottom of my screen to look one up, it crashes every program that was open.  I get error messages, I can post them if i need to.   Thanks

    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.  You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
    Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions. No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

    then click the options button for the Torbutton 1.4.4.1 section and choose the 'security settings' tab... uncheck 'disable plugins during tor usage'... then OK...
    then simply close it all and restart Tor... it works, 100%... have just managed to upload photos onto facebook in Vietnam after days of failed attempts...

  • Convert Word documents to PDF with SharePoint Online 2013 - C#

    We have a client with a requirement to automatically create a PDF copy of a Word document when the Word doc hits a major version.
    I am aware there are third party apps for this, but we'd prefer to develop this ourselves.
    Word Automation Services is not available in SharePoint Online, so we do not have that option.
    We'd prefer not to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as we'd then need a client running with MS Word.
    It would seem like the CSOM Microsoft.SharePoint.Client would be able to do this somehow.  I'd imagine that's how the third party apps are accomplishing this.  However I'm not seeing specifically how to save to PDF via CSOM.
    Can anyone provide insight on how to accomplish this programatically?
    Thanks

  • Do I need to stay online while Fire Fox is updating?

    A Fire Fox update box appeared stating: "Fire Fox has new updates for your computer". Each time I clicked OK for the updates, I found that the process would take several hours and once done there was no notification of completion. Thus, my question: Do I need to stay online while Fire Fox is updating?

    What you can do instead of the partition is create a new user for your son on (YOUR partition).
    Transfer all purchases from the device to iTunes Back up the iPad , restore the device , synchronize the device.
    Erase your son's partition after you are sure everything works .

    I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently already have an account with iBooks, cant have this it seems.how do I change my iBooks account, is this the apple id for my iPad and if I change this will it cause problems accessing iTunes etc?

    I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not?  Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.

  • Non universal programs suddenly crash on my Intel iMac

    I have been running Leopard on my Intel iMac for quite a while and suddenly all non universal programs now won't open.
    All were fine yesterday but now they only generate the crash report.
    All suggestions gratefully received.

    Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If so, install (if your profile info is correct and you're running 10.5.0) or reinstall the 10.5.2 COMBO update, repair permissions, and see if that fixes things. If not, then something's corrupt or conflicting in the original account. Report back.
