On the left above in the menu bar you see the first icon is a little apple.
If you clcik it, there is  a menu. Click "About this Mac" it will show the OS, processor and memory.
(Everything about your mac, you will see when you click "More Info" in that panel).
I suppose that the "file" (icon) is a link to Sky TV:
Quit Safari by clicking "quit" in the Safari menu ( ! ), then drag the icon in the Trash bin again. Empty the Trash (rightclik on it); when it will not empty the Trash bin, rightclick the Trash bin while holding the CMD key and "secure empty the trash".

    I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

    It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.

    My ipad will not start up, it has the swirl in the center of the screen and has been there for 30hrs now, what can I do?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • On iPad in iTunes purchased tv show during download its been processing for days, how do I delete or stop it

    In iTunes on my iPad I'm downloading a tv show, it's been processing for days, I can't delete or stop it. Which is blocking anything else from downloading. I've turn shutting off but that doesn't work. It wouldn't let me tap it to stop it,

    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    <Phone Number Edited by Host>

    There is no one from Apple here. We are users like you.
    The only legitimate iphone sellers in the Phil are the carriers. You probably bought a gray market phone that was imported from another country. Thus the warranty is not valid in the Phil. The store is probably trying to replace the phone by sending it back to the country they bought it from.
    There is nothing Apple or anyone can do here. You will have to wait until the store solves your problem. If they do not, demand a refund. Good luck.

  • When using a Seagate 1T external hard drive and Time Machine to back up hourly, if I delete photo files from the Mac hard drive before the next back up, are these retained on the Seagate drive or will they be lost (overwritten) in the next backu in the ne

    Does Time Machine erase previously saved files if, say, photos are deleted from the Macbook upon the next update, or will they be stored indefinately despite the current status of the files stored on the computer? Eg. can I bckup photo files to a Seagate 1T disc and then delete them to make more room on the computer in the knowlwdge that they are always going to be on the Seagate disc? Sorry if this is very elementary but I have not used a back up before like this, and am not sure how successive backups are overlaid or retained. Thanks!!

    TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
    If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
    How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
    Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.

    I have an iMac purchased in May 2011.  OSX Lion 10.7.3.  I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
    Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
    The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi". 
    It will not delete.
    How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

    Hi venkata reddy,
    You wrongly mentioned  system admin instead of content admin
    Go to Content administration not in the system administration
    if u delete the file manually in the portal  you can go with
    go to Content administration  -> KM Content -> go to Particular document -> just tick the check box which doc u want delete -> go to selection -> u will find delete .

  • I can't delete a file in the Content-Management

    Hello,
    I can't delete a file in the Content-Management, altough I have full control.
    I get the following error message:
    System error (com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException): null
    Many thanks for the help.

    Dear SAPMuffel ,
    As far as we can see the error "com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException" is telling that the resource you are trying to delete could not be found, that is also to say, it might not exist any more.
    So please let me know exactly how you can reproduc this issue?
    and what kind of file it is? under what kind of KM repository? 
    Is there any other file under the same KM folder?
    Also you can reproduce the issue and then check the lastest defaulttrace file under this folder:
    ../j2ee/cluster/server0/log/defaultTrace.*.trc
    here you can find the detailed exception.
    Best Regards,
    Thunder
