My empty folder won't delete, even though I have full admin priveleges?

I have been trying to get rid of this folder that i created not too long ago, the folder is now empty but I am unable to delete it. when i right click>move to trash it prompts me for my password, which i then enter and receive this frustrating message: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." I have also tried to command+delete which doesn't work. I have run a permissions repair with disk utility with no luck.
I just want to delete a folder! gaahh! Please help! Very frustrated.
Trevor

thanks for the reply;
I checked the info and "Trevor(Me)", "staff", and "everyone" all have read & write priveleges. As for the ownership, when "Trevor (Me)" is highlighted and i click on the gear the "makes this user owner" option is visible but greyed out (unclickable), and that option is not visible at all for "staff" or "everyone".
Problem still persists =(

    i am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password.  Any advice?

    Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again.  A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
    Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone.  You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

    I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

  • My "photo's" won't open even though i have used the camera, it says i have no photos or the App fails to open all together

    even though i have used my camera, when i click at the bottom left to view my captured images the app closes. when i go to "photo's" the app either fails to open or says i have no photos. what am i doing wrong? i have owed an iphone for 3 years and this has never happened.

    Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
    Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

  • My iPad won't backup even though I have 4.7 of 5 GB available

    My iPad won't back up even though I deleted a lot.  I have 4.7 of 5 GB's available.  I tried turning it off.  Didn't work.  Says that I have never backed up, when I have done this many times since I first received my iPad in 2012.  Please advise.  Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I think you'll find it means you don't have enough storage available on your phone.

  • My iphone won't backup even though I have plenty of icloud storage

    I just recently brought more iCloud storage because I was out of iCloud storage.  However, my iPhone 4S still won't back up.  I show that I have 15 GB of storage and 9.4GB available.  I also show that my next backup size is 5.5 GB.  Why is my phone not able to backup?   The "back up now" option is blacked out and the message shows "this iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enought iCloud storage avaiable."   But I should have plenty of storage available.    What am I doing wrong? 
    Thanks for your help!

    It's probably refering to your iPad and not iCloud.

  • Mail Version 7.3 gives me this location is read-only error when I try to save messages to my hard drive even though I have full permissions to use the folders

    Mail is suddenly not allowing me to save Mail messages (nor attachments) to my hard drive.  Insists that the location is read-only, which it's not (I've checked and rechecked the folder permissions).  I'm the only person who uses my computer.  Anyone else having issues?  Mail has also been quitting off and on lately; never used to crash -- ever.
    System 10.9.3.

    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.

  • HT204266 I keep getting the message 'cannot connect to iTunes Store' even though I have full wifi?

    Can only update apps when I connect via PC, this was working up to about 2 weeks ago.
    I have been out foreign since last time I updated apps via iPhone and wifi.

    Ahhhhhhh I am go glad I am not the only one having this problem!! It started 2 weeks ago when I changed my Apple ID because it used to be my college email address (which is about to expire because I graduated) and I had to change my ID to another email address. When I did that, the whole "Cannot connect to itunes store" issue started whenever I try to update my apps either on my iphone (Update All) OR on my PC in itunes.
    I now have 21 apps that need updating. This is driving me nuts. I have literally tried everything. Finally the Apple support guy I had been emailing back and forth told me to make an appointment with a hotline but I am pretty sure that costs money.....?
    HELPPPPPPP! I want updates for my apps dang it!

  • My iPod won't send a message even though it has full wifi

    My iPod touch won't send a message to all the people in my message conversations list even though I have full wifi! They have already sent a million messages to me but I can't send one back now it just says messages not delivered!

    The three steady beeps indicates no ram or failed ram. Try removing and reseating the ram first. If that doesnt help take one module out and try with just the other one. Still no good, try only the other module. You'll also have to swap slots with the modules. You'll hopefully eventually isolate the problem to one module,
    If after all the testing you still can't get it going you'll need to take it to your Apple Store or AASP for service as you may have a bad ram slot.

    Restart the computer then delete it.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full.

It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full. I have restarted my phone and the computer multiple times, but it still tells me that my phone is full.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • So I am having trouble updating my iPod touch. Even though I have deleted all my apps it still won't let me update. Help!

    Even though I have deleted all my apps from my iPod touch it still won't let me update to the ios7.

    A fourth generation iPod touch doesn’t have enough RAM to run iOS 7(it has 256MB, but iOS 7 requires at least 512MB). Nothing can be done about this.
