Missing Secure "R" Drive and Cannot Delete Programs

Hey guys,
How are you? I am having some trouble with my Lenovo X60 thinkpad, it seems to be behaving oddly, I was wondering if anyone could assist me? First last week I noticed that the built in "secure drive" that IBM puts as a partition on the HD is missing. I cannot find it any where. When I tried to restore to a previous point NONE of the restore points will work? Finnally, I just noticed that when I tried to remove some programs through "Add/Remove" programs when I click on the item the "remove" button isn't there?? All of this seems very odd, could they be related?? Thank you for your help! Take care!

Okay, that explains that. Again I thank you V.K..
I know you said this in another thread V.K. but I wanted to reiterate it here for other users as this one single action brought my entire Mac Pro and all disc access (and productivity) to a halt last week.
I did a get info on my main hard drive, chose Read & Write privileges and clicked the "apply to enclosed items"! What a NO NO that is!! It spent 3 minutes doing that and when finished it locked me out of all attached drives. I spent Thurs. afternoon and all Fri. with Apple phone support and I'm actually still waiting to hear back from them. I entered those 2 lines of code in Terminal that you suggested and all is good. Sanity was restored.
I've been with Mac since the Mac Plus in the 80's and never knew that.
For anyone else with this scenario see the bottom of this thread:

ICloud full, cannot access iCloud drive and cannot deleter files...

I am getting messages saying that my iCloud is full. Okay, I get it. So I look up how to free up space and find all the instructions on how to not have apps sync (which I've done) and to delete photos (which I've done), yet it's still full. I'm sure there are plenty of audio files on there that could be taken off as I do have iTunes Match however, I cannot for the life of me figure out HOW to delete any files off iCloud. I have tried accessing iCloud Drive on various computers and I get error messages and pop screens telling me to reload - shocker. So, how in the **** am I supposed to figure out what is taking up all this space on my iCloud and then, how do I delete it? I don't really "save" anything so I'm not sure what to do. Anyone else having the same issue and if so, any solutions? I do not want to buy more space but I want to be able to back up my phone. Technology is great when works, but this isn't working and it's frustrating. Thanks for anyone that has any helpful advice.

Customer and vendor deletion program.

hi can anyone please give me this customer and vendor deletion program name
Thanks in advance

hello, friend.
a simple option is to use LSMW for VD06 (flag customers for deletion) and XK06 (flag vendors for deletion). you then maintain a separate file (tabs delimited) as base for the program.
regards.

HT1263 where can I find the System Mac 9 that would be in the (original release) factory shipped iMac's prior to 2010? I'm missing key system data and cannot update to iPhoto app past 6.0.6; any advice will be helpful, thank you.

Where can I find the System Mac 9 that would be in the (original release) factory shipped iMac's prior to 2010?
What are you refering to here? Mac OS 9 came out around 2001 ( or about ). Mac OS 9 last run in an emulation mode in 10.4.11 -- Tiger. Mac OS 9 ran on PPC machines that were last produced before 2004 or so.
I think your conclusion you need Mac OS 9 is incorrect.
I'm missing key system data and cannot update to iPhoto app past 6.0.6; any advice will be helpful, thank you.
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.6.8), need to upgrade system to 10.8
We need to verify some information. Are you really running 10.6.8? What hardware?
Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
click on this icon
Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
What version & Processor do you have?

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone. I need to delete a playlist to make room for a new one, but Delete does not even show up as an option (nor does the delete key on my keyboard delete anything.

Could you possibly be more vague?
If you want help you have to provide details, not just "I can't synch my phone". Why can't you synch? What error messages do you get? Give us something.

How do I set Catalogue to new larger internal hard drive and then delete the files from the smaller

I have just had a new 1TB internal hard drive installed in my PC and then the original smaller internal 500GB hard drive cloned onto it. The new 1TB is now Local Dick C and the smaller 500GB has been changed from C and is now Local Disk F. PSE11 is running from the new C and all my pictures are on both C and F but the catalogue is pointing to F. I want to delete all of the old files on F to free up space since they are all cloned to the new 1TB C, so I want the PSE11 catalogue to point only to the pictures on C. I have tried creating a new Catalogue and importing my pictures from C. The images come in and look connected to C but, when I close PSE11 and then reopen that new catalogue, the image path reads F, as does the original catalogue. So, now I have two catalogues apparently point to F but I want to: 1) have only one catalogue pointing to C; 2) the delete catalogues pointing to F; 3) then reformat F: so I have a clean 500GB old hard drive for future expansion. Can some please help?

Grant, all I can say is that another user was having almost identical issues a month or so ago. Unfortunately I cannot find the discussion thread now but my feeling is that it never resolved satisfactorily while both drives were connected.
To save you a lot of work formatting, copying, erasing and so forth why not just unplug the SATA cable from the old drive and see if the Organizer then starts behaving nicely with the new drive. If it does then you can go the destructive route on the old drive.
Hopefully the poster who had the similar problem might read this and update us on his/her situation - if it got resolved and how.
Cheers,
Neale

I have orphaned voice memos on my iPhone5 and cannot delete. Listed in iTunes but not on my iPhone's Voice Memo app.

When I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5, a bunch of voice memos were orphaned.
What this means is that when I connect my iPhone to iTunes, I see the voice memos.
They are listed in iTunes under my iPhone directories "Voice Memo" and in "Music".
But I cannot delete these.
When I go to my iPhone, the Voice memo app has changed (ok) and you can see there
are no voice memos. It appears that they are orphaned from the voice memo app.
So the voice memos are in my phone somewhere.
How can I delete them or export them or something with them?
I can't play them except on iTunes. They don't show up in Music in my iPhone.
Thanks for your Help

I have the same problem and I still can't delete that stupid song. I downloaded it from Starbucks almost over a year ago!!!

Itunes match; a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, cannot delete it or replace the track/ data b) now have 9k tracks "stuck" in icloud and cannot delete them no matter what I do. eh?

Hi
I;m having so itunes match issues.
I ran itunes match. I';ve since foumd, I think:
a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, I cannot find how to delete it and reupload correct song and data. I am presently assuming that once songs are matched, the meta-data, genre, etc etc thats uploaded is now treated as 'the master' by itunes.
Question: if I want to change the genre on a track, whats the correct way to overwrite the data held in the icloud? if I delete the track i just bring down the old incorrect genres again!
b) I've deleted from the icloud all my music tracks (select all, delete, Y to delete tracks from icloud). I have turned off itunes match on my ipad, iphone, appletv mac and windows pc. I've deleted the itunes library files too from mac and pc in desperation. But hours /days later, when I turn on itunes match on mac or pc, it tells me i still have 9k tracks in icloud. All with the old, wrong meta-data ready to mess up my [now-corrected] files back on my pc!
I cannot delete them no matter what I do. The number of tracks in the cloud was 12k, now 9k so its reducing, by about 1500 tracks a day.
does it really take itunes servers that long to delete the tracks I've asked it to delete, or am i seeing garbage data?
is there a quicker way of deleting all my itunes match library, songs and data?

Thanks for the helpful replies.
My original intention was to 'upgrade' some of my tracks. In those cases, I'd iTunes matched, and the process was completed.
I later downloaded those new tracks but found during that process, the tracks I was downloading had the old metadata.
I guess the idea there is to update the local genres, 'update iTunes match' and wait. How long, I don't know but that's the current solution,yes ?
Thing is I was trying to get my local library updated and, as I thought it, back in order, but was finding my local genre updates were being overwritten. I had a lot of tracks that kept on stating they could be downloaded so I thought the new files hadn't been copied down...
I think I was trying to get match to do too many things at once.
Deleting my tracks in the cloud? Was an act of desperation to start over with all known good genres locally and to re- upload, start over. I'd read in some forum or other to do that, I guess that was wrong,
Ok so I will.. Err,
A wait and see how long it takes to delete my tracks in the cloud ie let it complete the process I'd already started.
B Correct my local tracks genres
C Wait til those changes propagate up to the iCloud ( or whatever the right term is)
Q1: How long should I wait for A and C to complete?
Q2: Is it 100% definite that local genre changes will get copied up to the cloud, when I 'update iTunes match'?
I don't see any animated cloud icon, but I will watch for it!
Thanks again
Iain

Slow after upgrading to Mavericks and cannot delete items in trash bin

I recently upgraded my iMac running Intel Core i5 to Mavericks. Once I did that I noticed that my computer was extremely slow. It never used to be slow until this update. Also I cannot delete anything in my trash bin. It will tell me how many items are in there and says that it is "safely removing items" but does not. Are there any software updates or solutions to making my iMac faster and helping with my trash bin??
Thanks!

Hold down the Option key while emptying the Trash.
As for your Mac running slower... make sure there's enough free disk space.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

HT4399 I have a Mac Book Air and have purchased individually numbers and pages. I was given an excel file on a thumb drive and cannot open it. Is there a way to open the xcl file in numbers?

I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages. I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file. The message states that the Excel file is encryeted. Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
Pat and Bob

Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats? The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.
