I cannot move the sreen since some update as of 9/22/2014
This just began and I have never had this problem before. I do not have this problem with anything else on my computer - safari, mail, iphoto etc.
After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working.
I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, RickThe hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up? -
for some inexplicable reason, I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 . My plugins view tells me I'm at risk and need to update but try as I might, through all the known update avenues, it won't take. I consider myself and above average Mac User. Please advise. Thank you
Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

Hi all,
I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
times while working on the project.
I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
(original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
able to copy the current project.
Thanks for any ideas..Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).

ITunes 8 - Cannot MOVE the window now!
Since installing iTunes 8 I cannot move the window now - I can resize it no problem but it's stuck at the top of the screen just below the Finder title bar.
Has anyone else had this and fixed it?!OK it's good the the cause has been identified, but I happen to love AccuBeatMix. It took me forever to find a plug-in that allows smooth fading any time I switch tracks or skip to a different position within a playing song. Hopefully there will be a fix soon. Otherwise I'd rather have a fixed window position iTunes than lose AccuBeatMix.

In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). I saved my Numbers document before copying to Pages. Can anyone help?
I think you identified my mistake. I confused tables-charts-graphs. I was wanting a "table" of cells (numbers) to be added to the Pages document. Is there no way to do that and keep the tables linked between Numbers09 and Pages09?
An example would be a Numbers spreadsheet calculating a number (say, a product price) and that number (data) be linked to a product information text in Pages.
I just recently saw the Merge function in Pages, but have not yet learned how that works. I don't use Pages much at all but it would come in handy for creating to information sheets about products --- with the product pricing being updated from a Numbers spreadsheet.
If you have any hints on how that can be done or where I can find info on that I would appreciate it.
Thanks for catching my misunderstanding.

Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in.....
Hello everyone.
I burned about 10 TDK DVDr's about a month ago. I didn't get any errors while burning them and put them directly into cd cases to prevent them from getting scratches or marks. I just took them out to copy the files back to my Macbook. As soon as i start to drag and drop the files, the dvd player starts reading the files, copies some of them, and about 20 seconds in to the copy it powers down and displays the following message. This is true for all 10 of the dvds i burned. It copies to my hard drive for about half a minute...and then the drive powers down.
"Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in (NAME OF CD) could not be read or written (Error Code-36)."
Does anybody have any suggestions? I'd hate to think that all of the dvds are coasters now because i have data on them.hi easeupjosh,
did you ever get help with your DVD-Rs?
I am having the same problem and was wondering if there's someway I can salvage the data on my DVDs?
thanks -
External HD issue. Finder cannot complete the operation because some data..
Last night I had a drive throw the error "finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "<file>" could not be read or written. Error code-36". I thought it was a bad disk. Then tonight I plugged in a flash drive, formatted it on the machine and now I am getting the same error on that disk as well. Any thoughts???
Yes, you can have bad blocks or other physical damage on a usb drive, the same as a firewire, or eSATA. Just because you can reformat the drive, doesn't mean the drive is okay. You reformat, yet the problem recurs. That is a sign of a bad drive. If it were an OS issue then the reformat should fix it.
You might want to check the drives with a utility from Prosoft called DriveGenius It's the "Swiss Army Knife" of utilities, including the ability to repartition "on the fly" (A little scary for my tastes). But Prosoft is a trusted software manufacturer. Downloaded the trial (it has more bells & whistles than you can believe) But the trial will run all hardware tests without the repair feature, and give you a report.
Also, you can download and use Applejack for repair.
