Launchpad icon with load line won't delete

I migrated from an Old Mac to a new Mac. The app in question is a Mac App Store App, with a non-app store version installed over it. (using Mac App Store license information). The developer came up with this method to side step sandboxing in Mavericks.
After migration, the App license info was not transferred. So I tried to download the app from the Mac App store again. The app failed to to complete the download, and that's when the icon with the load line showed up. It just got stuck. I went to the Applications folder and deleted the App, manually. Then I went back to the Mac App store and re-downloaded the App, successfully. However now I have two icons. One for the successful download, and one for the failed download. I can't click on the failed download icon, as it thinks it's not finished yet. I also can't delete it. I have completely removed the app again, and there's only the failed icon.
Ran repaired permissions and scan disk in Disk Utility.
Using CleanMyMac and clearing caches, uninstalling residuals, etc, did nothing to help or make a difference.
It's stuck.

Hello, try this application it can reset lauchpad and delete them

When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Battery icon with red line

I have a curve that only displays the battery icon with the red line thru it.
I have tried 3 different batteries in it and have also tried reloading the OS thru DM but no luck. I have a second Curve that works just fine with all the batteries I have for it.
Is there anyother way to reload the OS without using DM to do it? or any other cure for the battery problem

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Try doing the application load with the battery out. It will error out and give a message similar to "unable to connect to device during a multi-stage load operation". Once you get the error, put the battery back in and try the application load again.
You may have to try this four or five times, but if you can "spark" it for the second it looks for the PIN and gets connected you can finish the load.
Make sense?

Flashing Apple icon with horizontal line flashing at random on screen

I know this can't be good
Here's the background info:
Our G5 completely crashed about 4 months ago. Lost my iTunes library but my iPod mini was full and working, so I used it until the battery died. Now iTunes is reinstalled but I was scared to plug iPod in and wipe out everything on it by mistake. Today after researching on this site I dowloaded Senuti to help with getting the contents of iPod back into iTunes library. Two hours ago I plugged in my iPod into USB on the G5, and at first I got the dead battery icon, but after a couple of minutes I got a flahing Apple icon, with a horizontal line on the screen flashing at random places. iTunes does not 'see' my iPod. Needless to say, Apple support website does not address the issue... Any help is appreciated! Thanks from sunny Florida

Try to connect your iPod with a window PC
Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Battery Icon with Red Line on BB 8310

So, how pervasive is the problem of theBlackberry 8310 and its icon with the red line across from it? Is it a problem with the battery? Or is it a problemwith the phone? IS there any fix?
Mine came brand new in a box a few daysago. It came with a blue battery (C-S2). As soon as I put the battery into thephone, the dreaded Icon (battery with a red line through it) showed up. I charged it, thinking that means the batteryis empty and left it charging for over 5 hours, hoping the Icon will go away.It never did, and now 4 days later and an infinite number of battery pulls, some with a twist or two, it is still there. If it was any otherpiece of technology I would dismiss it as junk. But, oh, this is the famous BB.
Instead, I did some research, have spentupwards of 15 hours over the last 4 days, trying to figure it out. I ran intolots of things on the Net, including the crackberry postings with people sayingthat they got rid of the problem by dropping (!!) the BB from 3-4 feet,sometimes repeatedly, until it fixed itself. Others report the problem aftersome time of use (flaky construction?). On this forum alone there are at least4 recent postings with the identical problem (search for “8310 battery line”and find the post of “Spyridonas” 12-13-08, of “black_black_b” 06-10-09, of “hades” 09-27-09 and of “Alien_X” 09-28-09. None of those seems to have got the attentionof anyone from RIM, and nobody offered any meaningful solution. As people have reported time and again, it isvery unlikely to be the problem with the battery, so we are left to conclude thatthe phones are lemons.
We spend lots of money for a useless pieceof junk and nobody at RIM cares. If this was a car, it would have been recalled a long time ago. I will get my money back and buy somethingelse, maybe a Nokia or even a Moto. Watch out RIM, you are pissing off a lot ofpeople, and some of them are the wrong people to piss off.

I did not overlook anything.
I think you did. You pointed out each instance you could find when this fix did not work. You failed to point out the dozens of times this fix did work.
So, to answer your initial post questions:
So, how pervasive is the problem of theBlackberry 8310 and its icon with the red line across from it?
Not very pervasive. It certainly is not one of the top ten problems judging from the questions I see asked here and elsewhere.
Is it a problem with the battery?
Could be. Have you tried a brand new battery (I forget if you said).
Or is it a problemwith the phone?
Again, could be. There could be an issue with your battery contacts on the device.
IS there any fix?
For most, yes. We've been over that.
Try cleaning the contacts on the device. See if that helps. Try a new battery... and often new batteries are very low or close to dead upon purchase so follow the directions above to charge and bootup.

To: JSanders,
I had already seen this bit of lame “advice” that has been circulating on BB boards and hadtried it several times,
Oh, thank you so much. You know, you get what you give. Your initial post above did not state what you had tried several times. We don't read minds, well, I don't at least.
Alien_X wrote:
Anytime you buy a brand new item and it fails to work after 4 days of trying anything you can find I”d say you got a lemon.
You've had it four days, brand new, and you haven't returned it for a new device? That would be my first suggestion had you stated that first off. I would not keep that device if first off it didn't work. But a lemon? Nah, it's not a pervasive problem inherent to the model, which is what a lemon is normally defined as.

This is a community support forum. Your post above just reaks of attitude. If you're expecting users here to flock to your post to help out with that kind of attitude and silly threats, well, as you can see, it just didn't happen.
Try being nice and seeking assistance, you might just get a better response. There's been NO personal attacks on you, I don't operate that way.

I'm afraid that is just indicative of whole problem here, I don't think you are reading these posts. I didn't deride the Motorola. I said you'd love it, unless you consider that derision. How odd that you would. They have great devices.

Icon with strong-line frame on desktop

Hi, I have recently this problem: On desktop, when clicking on any icon, a strong-line frame appears outside the icon and label. Also when working with Photoshop and making a selection with marque tool, there is also the same frame as it appears with icon on desktop. I need your help.
Many many thanks.

HI,
Go to ~/Library/Preferences then move the com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist files to the Trash.
The ~ (Tilde) character represents your Home Folder.
Relaunch the Finder.

Grey CC Icon with Spinning wheel won't open

The CC icon on my taskbar won't open and if I hover my mouse over it there is just the rainbow wheel of death. I can't use the updater or uninstaller because it says that CC is still running and asks me to close it (which I can't do either). What do I do?

Icon with red line through battery.

Please help me!
I have an icon on my blackberry that has a battery with a red line. I bought a new battery and yes, it is the correct battery. Battery works in another phone, but not in mine. I think it is not recognizing the battery. I have tried linking up with Blackberry desktop, but my phone is not turning on because it is not recognizing the battery and therefore has no power source. I have tried everything. I cannot download new software because whenever I hook it up to the computer it says it is waiting for the device to turn on. I have pushed the reset button and tried a soft reset, but nothing.
I would really like my phone to work again, but what I want most are my contacts and a recorded voice note and I am not sure they are backed up.
Sarah

And the issues started after the dropping of the BB? If so, that may void your warranty path...if it's still within the first year, that is. Given what you've described, I don't hold out much hope. Hands-on hardware-level assistance is what I think you need...which we naturally cannot provide here. I suggest you decide if it's worth what you need to go through to get that assistance (warranty or not, voided warranty or not, etc.) and then proceed accordingly.
Good luck and let us know!

SQL*Loader records won't delete

I am mystified. A P/A is developing a conversion of legacy data into a new archive db. He runs data in using SQL*loader into our 7.3.4 database, but when we try to delete one of those records, it rolls back even though our explicit commit returns with 'commit completed'.
Our test is to load record 'a', select 'a': 1 records found, delete 'a':one record deleted, select 'a': 0 records found, commit:commit completed, select 'a':1 records found.
Non-loaded records delete fine.
Is something corrupted in rowid, or other metadata? DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA?

ITunes under Vista won't delete my songs

Hey guys.
I've recently updated to Windows Vista, and I'm running iTunes 7.3 with an iPod Nano.
Previously on my XP machine (with some ancient iTunes, 7.1 maybe?) I was able to select a track in my library, and either hit the Delete key or right-click and select the Delete option. This would spawn a dialogue - do I want to keep the files, or move to recycle bin (or cancel)?
Now under iTunes, when I delete a file, that dialogue is not there anymore, and deleting a file only removes it from the library view, rather than from my hard drive.
As an added piece of information, I was able to upgrade a purchased song to iTunes Plus. When you do this, there's a dialogue of similar nature offering to move the old file to the recycle bin or to keep it. This dialogue appears, but when selecting recycle it does no such thing
It's worth noting that all my music is in my iTunes Music folder, not anywhere else. I understand there can be a problem where if your music is not stored with iTunes, it won't delete the files. I don't believe this applies to my situation.
I only really noticed this by happenstance, and now I have my music collection full of tracks I don't want anymore, but no effective way of getting them back in. Why is this?
Well, that's peculiar thing #2. Previously I used to be able to just re-add my iTunes music folder, and iTunes would helpfully trawl through and add music in, ignoring tracks that already exist. It no longer does this - you can add the folder, but it creates a duplicate for each song that already exists. These duplicates are unrated with no previous play information - it's as if iTunes doesn't agree that they're the same track.
I'm wondering if these problems are related - if iTunes in some way is able to play my previous library just fine, manage ratings and so on, but is in some way confused about whether they're actually in the iTunes folder. XP and Vista have different file paths (C:\Documents and Settings\ in XP, C:\Users\ in Vista)... would this have something to do with it? I suspect that there's a Junction (like a hard link, but in Windows) in place to redirect C:\Documents and Settings\ to C:\Users\, but this behaviour is not unversally supported cleanly.
Is there a way of editing my library details to include the correct pathname if that's the problem?
Man, sorry about the long post But it's really bugging me, and obviously I don't want to have to re-add and re-rate 22 days of music...

Ok I think I fixed it
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313 describes that you can gank the binary file, and re-import using the XML document.
The trick is of course to:
1. Close iTunes
2. Gank the binary file
3. Search and replace the music locations in the XML
4. Start iTunes
5. Import the XML file
This works, but there are some caveats (need to resynch the iPod, etc.). But yay, my files are once again being deleted.

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen using the + to home screen option won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)
i need to reboot to stop it and I'm stuck with loads of homescreen icons on my iPad

You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. If you like using website icons you can bookmark them as Favorites and they'll be on your Safari page instead of your homescreen and they're much easier to get rid of. Also you could turn on Favorites bar by going to settings> Safari> show Favorites bar> on. See screenshot.

I have iPad 2 with version 8.1.1. When trying to delete apps, the icons 'jiggle' but won't delete, then neither the home button or the power button will work. i have to leave it for 10-15 minutes until it returns to 'normal'

I have iPad 2 with 8.1.1. When trying to delete apps, the crosses appear, the icons 'jiggle' but won't delete, then neither the home button or the power button will work, and I have to leave it for 10-15 minutes until it returns to 'normal'. This has happened the last four times i tried to delete an app.

Hi OldPete71$$$... You are not alone. I am taking my iPad3 to the Apple store later today - I had to wait to get an appointment - for this very problem. This error did not occur until I updated to 8.1.1. I have not tried letting the device sit, I have been doing a hard reboot to recover functionality. If it's any consolation, I *can* delete apps through the iTunes interface, it's just very sloooooow. I can't delete internet shortcuts that I've stored on the home screen this way, though.
