Cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista

Hi All,
I cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista. Explorer
crashes. It is a Captivate 2 file.
I have tried (with no luck):
- logging in as a different user and deleting the file.
- running explorer as an Administrator
- uninstalling Captivate.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
Raef

Hi Raef,
That is a strange issue. Here are a couple more ideas you
could try:
- Have you tried renaming the file (including suffix)?
- Have you rebooted?
- Do you get any error messages when trying to delete, such
as "Acess Denied"?
- Is your machine networked? Is it possible someone else has
the file open?
- Can the file be moved to another location or put in a
folder (and then deleted)?
- Have you tried using the Command Prompt / DOS mode to
delete the file?
It sounds like it could be a Vista issue so I would look at
the Microsoft Vista forums too. Sorry I do not have an exact
answer.
IHTH,
Aaron

How to delete the file with space in name

Hi
I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
/bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec(cmd);
The file was not deleted.
How to delete the file with space in name?
Help me

Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
arr[1] = "-f"
arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

Deleting individual Files from trash folder

This should be a simple question...Is there a way to permanently delete individual files/folders from the trash folder instead of emptying the entire trash folder? TIA, Scott

As Allan says, no... the trash *should not* be used as a repository for files you're not sure you want to trash yet. Not only is this extremely hazardous, as it's easy to accidentally empty the trash, but it also puts all those questionable files outside the reach of Time Machine, so they will not be backed up. If you need a "Pending Trash" folder, create one on your desktop, and then put files in the trash only once you are truly ready to delete them.

Cannot delete .band files from desktop

I was working on a file in GarageBand, I saved the .band file on my desktop, but after I quit GarageBand without saving the work, the .band file went a little weird. I tried dragging it to the trash and cmd-delete it but the message came up saying "The item “Recording Final.band” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted." Later I launched GarageBand again, and when I tried to drag the weird .band file from desktop to the GarageBand icon on my dock, the dock appears to crash, my wallpaper went gray for a second and then the dock came back up. Also when I select the file and hit space bar to do a quick look it shows up saying No Items Selected. I like to keep my desktop tidy don't want these files here blocking the way. Anyone knows the solution to the problem?

The first thing I'd do is just restart your system. You might find the file has disappeared. If not, try deleting it again. If you get the same error msg, do as follows.
Enable 'show path bar' in Finder > View. Highlight the problem file and make a note of the path.
Open Terminal and use the
rm <path to file>
command to remove it (remove the angled brackets). If you want to be on the safe side, use the command
cd <parent directory of file>
to move into the correct folder first.
Example
Suppose the path is:
Lion > Music > Garageband > problemfile.band
In Terminal, you'd type
cd ~/Music/Garageband
Then type
ls -l
Assuming you see 'problemfile.band' in the list, type
rm problemfile.band
If you get an error, try
sudo rm problemfile.band
and enter your admin password (which will be invisible when you type it).
If you still get an error msg, post back here, stating the error msg.

Unable to restore System Recovery Files in desktop folder

I owned an HP Pavilion A6037C desktop computer (Running Vista). It began to give me serious issues in July so i used the HP System Backup and Restore program to create a backup of all my files. i saved these files on an external HD so i wouldn't lose my files if the computer crashed. This backup was created in a folder called MINWINPC. In that folder was this file name "Backup Files 2011-5-7 234595". in that folder was a file list
Backup.001.App
Backup.002.fbw
Backup.003.fbw
Backup.004.fbw
and so on ....
I have since removed the first computer (although i still have it in my posession), and have replaced it with an HP Pavilion P6245f desktop running Windows 7.
Now that i have a newer desktop in place i wanted to install some of my old files from my backup that is saved on my external hard drive. i've connected the external hard drive to the new computer and i've ran the Backup.001.App. It restored my old files to a folder on my desktop called "Shortcut to System Recovery Files". It's a rather large file (i believe 50 GB) that is stored in another folder titled "C". In this folder i can see the seperate file folders i'm assuming were from my original desktop. when i access my username and select for instance "My Pictures" folder, it shows a list of all my orginal files. When i double click a picture, it says :
"File not readable. You can not open this file. Please check the readability of this file."
when i try to open any other type of file (such as .pdf's or word documents, or spreadsheets), it basically says the same thing.
"Can not access the document C:\(filelocation). The document may already be open or a read only document. The name and path may be invalid. The document may no longer exist, or it may already be open".
PLEASE HELP   All i want to do is restore my pictures, documents, and emails .   HOW CAN I RESTORE THESE FILES TO MY NEW COMPUTER ????????

Deleting locked file on desktop

Greetings-
This is more a software question. I transferred QuickBook files from a PC to my Mac. I can run QB for Mac easily, but the transfer left a locked .qbw file on my desktop. I think this is a QB backup for Windows file. I am trying to delete it but can't because it is locked. I tried to delete from within QB, but can't. It is no big deal, but I would love to get it off my Desktop. Any ideas? I tried to contact Intuit, but they require an Intuit ID which I don't have. Thanks.

Ok Ed Colman lets try this:
deleting locked files
1. Open Terminal. It's located in your /Applications/Utilities.
Paste the following command:
*chflags -R nouchg*
Note: Type one space (not pictured) after nouchg in the line above, so that it ends in "nouchg ". Do not press Return yet.
2. Drag the files from the desktop to the Terminal window.
Note: This automatically enters the pathname for file/folder.
3. Press Return. No special text message will be shown indicating that the command was successful.
This should unlock hidden flags in directory and subdirectories /file that you can not get to.
4. Exit to terminate terminal session then quit as normal.
5.Delete rouge file as normal, empty trash or secure empty trash.

Need a script to do the following... rename files based on folder name...

Hi. Macophile just starting to tread the waters of Applescript, trying to use Automator but don't think it will do what I need.
I have many images stored with-in folders that I would like to extrapolate a given number of characters from the folder name and Add Text to the files within those given folders.
Basically...
Folder name is C00100_Descriptive
Files within folder are just Descriptive_01, Descriptive_02
Would like to make all files within a given folder take the first 7 characters from the folder and Add that text to all files and files within subfolders of that folder to make the resulting files shown as...
C00100Descriptive01
C00100Descriptive02
Along with this I would also like to incorporate into the script, an added step to create Thumbnail jpegs of the image files in a Subfolder under C00100_Descriptive folder.
I can see how to do that in automator but not specifying parameters such as taking a certain number of characters from the folder the file resides in and adding that selected text to the files.
Ideally I would like a droplet or something that I could take a bunch of folders and drop them on the droplet to perform these actions.
Any advice, help or guidance would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.

Awesome, you're quite welcome, glad to hear it worked for ya!! Here's another version of the script that will rename the thumb files as jpg...

Delete PDF file from a folder

Hi!
please help me this is urgent..
i try to delete pdf file from my local pc how to do that ??
can some one help me i need it by today please help me ..
thanks to all of you...

First you open a File to the specified file, and then you call delete(). Easy
File file = new File("path/filename");
file.delete();Of course if you want to make your application cross-platform you will need to build a correct path somehow. Check out the static attributes of the File class to help you (fx. File.separator).

How can I change my Download/Desktop folder name?

Hello everybody!
First of all, I want to thank by advance all the people who will take some time to answer my question.
I've updated my Macbook Pro 13" late 2011 from Mavericks to the Yosemite Beta (I was part of the pre launching program), end then, from the beta to the actual release.
I don't really remember when, but suddenly, the other day, I've noticed that my basic folders wasn't named in my language. For example, the downloads folder is named "Downloads", as it should be named "Téléchargements" (I'm french, and my OS is in french). The problem is happening on a few folders, only in my finder window, the folders are correctly named in my dock... What could I do to restore that?

If you don't mind using the Terminal:
Open the Terminal in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
sudo mv (drag the folder into the Terminal window) (drag it one more time, but now change the folder name)
Press RETURN. When prompted enter your admin password. It will not echo to the Terminal window. Press RETURN again.
The first entry after "sudo mv " is the old_folder_name. Be sure to include the "space" after "sudo mv." The second one is the new_folder_name. Rather than doing a lot of typing it's easier to just drag the folder in twice, then change the folder_name of the second entry. Note that there is a space between the two entries. The parenthetical text is not part of the command line. Repeat the above for each folder you need to rename.
I think this is a bit easier and quicker than reinstalling.

Once a movie is copied into iTunes, can I delete the file from the folder?

I've copied several movies into iTunes and then sync'd them onto my Apple TV.
My question is: Once I've copied a movie into iTunes, can I delete the movie from its original folder (e.g. the Movie folder) and still have the movie in my iTunes?
More specifically, does "dragging and dropping" the movie into iTunes make a new copy of the movie file so that I can delete the original file? And if I can delete the original file, should I?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks. I'll check and see when I get home tonight. My guess is that that's the setting since my disk space has decreased a lot when I started copying things into iTunes.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)
