OSX 10.6.7 will not allow me to delete applications.

I've had this problem for a while now and have tried to live with it but it's just starting to drive me nuts.
Whenever I attempt to delete an application from within the Applications folder, it will move to the Trash folder and then within a moment, re-appear in its original location. This is true for any application within the Applications directory.  The only other method I've had luck with is by using an app called CleanMyMac to remove unwanted apps from OSX. I would like to have the native ability again to delete apps.
How can I fix this?

  • When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

    Question
    When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • My iphone 5S will not allow me to delete mail only select 1 by 1 to trash how can I mass delete old emails

    my iphone 5s will not let me delete emails, it will only allow me to select an email and move it to trash. the slide method ask more/trash, when selecting trash the message disappears but once you leave email and come back the message reloads. Also I cannot mass select multiple emails for delete. I can trash them only 1 at a time.

    I cannot select multiple mails any more to delete them on my ipad 2. I've only noticed it since upgrading to 7.04 but cannot be sure that the iOS upgrade is the cause of it.
    Same for both business and personal mailboxes.

  • I have an error 42404 message.  I have uninstalled Itunes,quick time, etc, etc.  I then checked to make sure that all files had been deleted.  I have 2 files that haven't been deleted and are still not.  It will not allow me to delete them access denied.

    I received an error 42404 message.  I have uninstalled itunes, quick time, etc, etc.  I then went to check that all the files had been deleted, however,
    Program files\common files\Apple - will not delete - it says folder access denied
    program files (x86)\common files\Apple - will note delete - it says require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder.
    How can I delete these 2 files so that I can reinstal Itunes?

    You can uninstall the relevant extensions from Tools>Addons to remove those toolbars. Also there may be some unwanted plugins which you may want to disable. This should solve your problems.
    If you still want a clean profile, uninstall firefox with the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" checkbox enabled. Alternatively you may remove your firefox profile folder which (on Window7) is stored in C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder with a randomly name. You may delete this folder before installing a new version to get a clean profile.

  • My ipad automatically tried to update skype to version 4.1.1 It has been showing installing for 3 days and says waiting on the icon. It will not allow me to delete the app. When someone calls me on skype it rings but turns off as soon as I try to answer.

    My ipad automatically tried to update skype. It has been installing for 3 days and the message waiting is on the icon. I am unable to delete skype to try and re install. I have gone to the licence page but there is nowhere that I can agree the terms as it is still trying to load.

    delete the app on itunes (on PC) then download it again.

  • I synced my Ipod and all of my pictures from my computer are now on my Ipod and it will not allow me to delete them. How do I delete them?

    I need help

    You need to unsync them from your iPod. Plug it in, go to iTunes, Press your iPod on the screen, either in the sidebar or in the top bar, and check unsync photos. That's the only way to delete those.

  • My iPhone 5 will not allow me to delete texts. Help?

    I am trying to delete my texts and everytime I swipe to delete, the delete option button disappears before I can tap it.  Any help?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. 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 device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • T-Bird FREEZES sporadically and will not allow "Delete" to work.

    Approx. 4 days ago, something happened to T-Bird. I can only assume (I hate that word) that a newer version was uploaded to my computer. I lost over 1800 email addresses. BIG TIME BUMMER!!!
    I was able to recover most, but had to input manually, another BUMMER!
    Now, every so often, (three to five email deletes) I have to kill the program and restart it due to it freezing and will not allow me to delete or move on to the next email. Smaller bummer.
    Any ideas?
