I am trying to get my system preferences out of the trash, but my drag and drop is not working.
I just can't find the answer anywhere.
How did it get there? Try right clicking on it and see if that offers a way out. Thinking about it, it may only be an alias. Is there a little squiggle/ arrow in the bottom corner? Check your applications folder.

I am running Lion 10.7.2 and I have an external drive hooked to my time machine. I can't rename folders and when trying, I get an error code 8076. The checkbox "ignore permissions for this device" does not show on volume info. Help please???
The TIme Machine volume does not have that checkbox.
I think the issue is with your Finder...
Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.) -
How can my System Preferences be in the Trash?
I went to change some network settings on my computer by going through System Preferences and Finder said System Preferences was in the trash! How is that possible? Whne I searched for it I couldn't find it in the trash. Confused!
It is possible because it is an app in your Applications folder. Did you double click on the Trash icon in your dock to open your trash in a finder window? Did you see any files in the trash at all?

I am trying to log on to an old laptop and I cannot get past the password screen - I'm using the password I always used and it is not working. Even the clue doesn't help. Is there anything I can do. The last time it was turned on the apple staff transferred data to my new laptop. Help
If the old Macbook(?) has Snow Leopard 10.6 installed, and you have that retail install disc or the system disc of the current (base level) system on it, you could use the installer disc as a boot volume and use the utilities on the booted install disc to reset the password. It should be a menu option in the booted Install disc, way short of any effort to re-install anything. And if your computer can do this, the same DVD has Disk Utility, to check/repair the Mac HDD.
What OS X version do you have, & what MacBook, etc is that?
Good luck & happy computing! -
Hi,
I am getting a "Internal error occurred" message when I try to drag and drop common library items on to my canvas.
I have noticed that there are a number of these error messages and tried one solution of renaming a couple of files, I tried this and no joy.
Has any one go a solution for this before I purchase Fireworks please?
Kind regards,
Dave GI can no longer get Firework CS6 to run - The program loads but without any toolbars/properties etc. It just has an 'AN INTERNAL ERROR OCCURRED' message that cannot be dismissed. The only way to close the program is via Task Manager (this is on a Window 8 PC). I have uninstalled the program, rebooted the PC and re-installed (several times) but it has not resolved the problem.
Fireworks is part of my Creative Cloud subscription and when reporting this via the live chat I was given the telephone number for Seagate Drives ??
Anybody got a solution?
Or, does anybody know how to open native Fireworks CS6 png files in Photoshop *but* with all the Fireworks layers preserved.
Think I'll also post this as a new topic as the problem is slightly different to SirBasher's issue. -

Hey, My mac book is giving me a flashing question mark on start up. When I hold down the command key to get to system preferences in order to help it find the system software it asks me for a firmware password, that I did not set! I also do not have the start up DVD/disk anymore. Any ideas on how to bypass this?
Contact Apple or an authorized Apple service provider.

One way is to Drag and Drop the Entire iTunes Folder from your Old Computer to an External Hard Drive...

Shut down the machine, turn it on it's side and shake it out. If you still can't get it try another solution on YouTube, there are many shown. We Have no idea which one you tried. If you still can't get it out take the machien into your local Apple Store or AASP and they will help you.

How do i get my application folder out of the trash
I was deleting some files from my computer and accidentally put my applications folder in the trash. Now I can't get it out. I still have my application folder visible in my finder but it doesn't have the Application Folder icon. It has a normal folder icon. All my apps are visible in both the trashed folder and the application folder in my finder, however, when I do a Spotlight search for a specific application, it says it's only location is in the trash.
How do I get my applications back?
RimoengClick on the Trash icon which swill open the Trash window. Select the Applications folder and drag it to its original location which is the root directory of your hard drive. You may be asked to authenticate by entering your admin password.

How can I get read only files out of the trash?
Either by deleting them, or moving them out. I have to click continue about 170 times just to get through the files to empty the rest of my trash.
Unlock them first.
Open terminal.app,
enter the following command:
sudo chflags -R nouchg ~/.Trash
(press return, enter admin password, press return again)
#this will unlock them in THE CURRENT user directory Trash folder#

I keep trying to install the latest version of firefox and it's not working
I'm running firefox 3.something, I think, and I keep trying to install the latest version on my mac. I go through saving it, opening it, dragging the icon to my apps file...and when I drag it to my apps file it takes a few seconds to do *something*, pings at me and then...nothing after that. I try to open it and it tells me I have to close firefox first, so I do (restart even) and when it opens again it still opens the old version.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I keep getting the error message, problem loading page, even for firefox home! I need help, I hate explorer, I want my firefox back!
Certainly disable FlashPlayer in your plugins by using
* Firefox Button -> Add-ons -> | Plug-ins
You need to get Firefox working again before you are going to be able to do anything with Firefox.
See if you can get Firefox to open in [[safe mode]] noting that when you get a window with a list of options just click on continue.
Also have a look at the articles
* [[firefox hangs]]
* [[firefox is already running but is not responding]]
*[[managing the flash plugin]]
Sorry but at present there are many possible causes of your problem and you will need to try Firefox's SafeMode &/or some of the suggestions in those linked articles in order to narrow it down a bit.
