Hi Sukrit,
Thanks for answering
Here is my workflow:
- open file explorer in Windows 8.1
- look for something.pdf I want to check in any dir;
- click on it: opened by Adobe reader (default)
- read and decide what to do
- close Adobe reader (red X upright corner)
- as needed try to suppress in file explorer it by selecting the filename and punch the 'Supp' key (french kbd) or del (Intl kbd)
This is where it says 'impossible to delete, file used by another program"
Same if I try to rename or move: conclusion: the handle take a good while before closing.
Now I find that it takes about 20 to 30 second to close the handle, then "DEL" or "RENAME" work
But any time I try DEL or RENAME this delay starts again running:
But 20 secs is too much and makexs it difficult to concentrate on the job.
What I do now:  remember (paper, immortal paper, paper everywhere!) what I want to del and do that at the end of my session
Hope Adobe will have a look at the issue!
Thanks & Bye

  • Impossible to delete Google Updater Helper

    Dear all,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I install the Picasa uploader for mac and I saw that this application install the Google Updater.
    So I delete the Picasa application and all files related to google updater.
    But on Preferences systems > account > startup page, I still have "Google Updater Helper". How can I delete this entry?
    I can't select it because the case is grey.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Yes. Uninstall Google Chrome.
    The reason Chrome requires its plethora of system modifications, daemons, agents, "helpers" and so forth is known only to Google.

    If it wasn't backed up, it's gone.

  • Hi, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio, everytime  I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

    Hi, Excuse my English, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio over the fade to black, everytime  I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

    I assume you are trying to end the clip/project with a fade to black, or something that just doesn't cut so instant.
    One thing i'm thinking you can try is to Add a "Transition Clip" to the end, and try your first method. (with Detached Audio + Delete Selection. (Yellow highlight was deleted selection) Do you need something to end like this?
    If you can, put screenshot up (Shift+Comm+4), if i'm not on the right idea. It seems like an easy fix, with a few ways of doing it. You can also add a blank image to end project, sub titles or Add,Cutaway fade +Opacity adjust.

  • Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message.  I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help.  If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.

    Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message.  I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help.  If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.  Its almost as if its a part of my signature but its not.  I took the video from an email message, and sent it via sms/mms to a friend, since then it just appear in every new message I create, regardless of who it is going to.  I thought maybe imessage got messed up so I turned it off and back on, still there.

    I ended up resetting my phone by erasing all contents and settings.  Not ideal, but I was getting pretty frustrated with it.  Anyway, it worked.  I hope Apple figures this out cause I don't want to have to reset again if this happens again.  good luck.

  • Deleted nano camera videos, HELP!!!

    I just took a few videos with my nano today and I went to put them on to my itunes library. Once I did, I deleted the videos from the DCIM folder. I can't watch them now. I was able to the first time once they were deleted but now they say "unable to locate the original file, would you like to locate?"
    Any ideas?

    Hello SupremeCore,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you don't have the *Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library* option ticked from under the Advanced tab of *iTunes Preferences* (*Edit -> Preferences* in iTunes), then it's likely that when you added these videos to your library iTunes created a link to each video's location on your iPod Nano. And if that is the case, these videos are gone. Sorry.

  • Help! I deleted my videos!

    I just accidentally deleted 2 videos from my camera roll. Is there any way to recover them?

    Hello queen cash
    If you have a back up either in iTunes or in iCloud before you deleted the pictures, then you can restore that back up back on your iPhone. Also note you will not have anything that you have currently on your iPhone, as it will remove the current data and put what the back up had on it. If you where using iCloud and using Photo Stream, make sure you are on Wi-Fi and have closed out the Camera app as it will prevent it from uploading the photos. 
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Why can't I delete this video file from my trash can?

    I have a video file that I will not disappear from my trash can when I click the "empty track" button. I managed to move the folder containing the video file from documents to the trash after a lot of effort, but it kept telling me that I didn't have the privileges necessary to delete the video permanently. Now the video file is sitting inside a folder inside the trash can where I can't move anywhere else. If I try to move it anywhere else, it simply copys to that folder but stays inside the original stays in the trash can as well, but I can still delete the copy and the original stays sitting in the trash can. Can anyone help me so I can get rid of this file once and for all.

    ho yeah .. i know that, but i tried even in a low quality and it's not worked.
    Maybe it's related to the TimeQuick?

    I need help deleting videos, tv shows, and movies downloaded from itunes.  I have followed the instructions to delete from the macbook, I selected the videos I wanted to delete and right clicked to delete.  Nothing happens.  When I double click on the video it still starts playing.  I also followed the instructions to delete the videos from the iphone by swiping from left to right with nothing happening.  I opened the videos on the ipad and there is no edit selection like in the instructions on the support page. Can you please tell me how to permanently remove this content so it doesn't try to copy from each device when I want to back up the Iphone and Ipad to my macbook.  Thank you.

  • How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11

    How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11?

    I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with  Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

    If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that isn't fully working. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • HT1725 I've followed the advice to re-commence downloading an interrupted video but I still keep getting an error message. I then deleted the video to start again but the original is still trying to download in the iTunes app. Any ideas what I can do? Tha

    I started downloading a video from iTunes last night on my ipad when my wifi dropped out. Once I'd reconnected my wifi I tried to recommence the download but it kept saying that download was not available at this time. I then tried the steps in iTunes help but got the same message. Finally, I deleted the video (the part that had downloaded) from my video section and tried to start the download again from the start. However, when I go to iTunes it's still trying to download the original and even this morning I'm still getting the error message. Any ideas what I could do to get the video downloaded? I currently only have access to my ipad. Thanks.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

  • Accidentally deleted a video

    please help! i accidentally deleted a video from my ipad! is there an app available for me to recover it? too bad i wasnt able to sync it to itunes!

    No, there is no undelete app or undelete feature on the iPad.
    If it was a video taken with the iPad and you'd synced the iPad with your computer since it was taken (and before you deleted it), then even if you hadn't copied it over to your computer during the sync you might still be able to get it back by restoring to that backup.
    Otherwise it can't be undeleted

  • How can I delete the video tracks from an iDVD project?

    I try to use "canc" botton: the video track is deleted on menu, but when I try to insert a new video, iDVD (7.1.2) alert me:  "The maximum number of tracks (presentations and movies) is 99. You can not create other tracks."
    Then, how can I delete the video tracks (or presentations) really?
    Help me, please!

    What are You trying to create ?
