Pages '09 flat files can't be deleted but package files can

Hi all
If I save Pages '09 files in their default 'flat' format, then I can't delete them (empty trash command says files still in use, even if computer restarted and Pages closed), but if I save files as '09 packages, they are easy to delete. Anyone else come across this, or got an explanation?

Thanks to people for suggestions. Oddly, I've found a very simple solution... if I leave the items in the Trash for a few minutes, sooner or later they become deletable (possibly helped if the computer not doing anything else). Other files are deletable from the moment they hit the trash can, so there's still something different about the pages files. I wonder if another app or process finds it hard to let them go, or some odd thing like that. So it's turning into a minor oddity/ quirk rather than major problem. I'm still a bit puzzled, but I can live with the current level of weirdness (unless it gets worse...!)

  • Why can't I delete temporary internet files in Bootcamp/AppData folders

    Why can't I delete temporary internet files in Bootcamp/AppData folders. Message occurs that file cannot be deleted.

    Are you trying to delete files from your Time Machine backup?  Don't do that!! If you have files/photos you wish to delete then delete them from iPhoto or whatever photo application you are using. They will be removed from the backup by the TimeMachine backup system. Your backup is not a simple file it is a time/event dependent organizational picture of your system sort of like a multilayered transparent collage, but if you start pulling random pieces out it will collapse the file system.

  • Firefox crashes and when attempting to launch after the crash it won't and throw and error msg that js.3250 can't be found- but same file is in Mozilla directory. I must then download new 3.6.8 and lose all tabs.

    # Question
    Firefox crashes and when attempting to launch after the crash it won't launch; throwing an error msg that " js.3250 can't be found" - but same file is in Mozilla directory.
    I must then download new 3.6.8 and lose all tabs and history.

    I have a similar problem. Recently my FF8 has been crashing a lot. It regularly locks up an entire core of my PC and often just shuts down. It has just done it a moment ago and when it started back up it did the whole "this is embarrassing" thing and asked me if I wanted to reload my tabs. I deselected the one that I was trying to view as I suspected that it may have been the cause (unlikely; it was node4.co.uk) but anyway, let's skip it just in case. Click on the button to restore and up pops my homepage only. So all of my other tabs, which I was using for work incidentally, are gone.
    This is not the first time this has happened on FF8. It happened a lot recently on FF6 I think it was (so hard to keep track now, Mozilla) and I switched to Chrome as a result, but it turns out that it crashes even more than FF6 did. FF7 was a vast improvement but FF8 is so unstable/unpredictable for me at the moment that I think I'd rather use IE9 than this. It's driving me mental, clearly! I wish I could kill the process manually and have it retry restoring tabs. Hey, there's an idea Mozilla; give us a menu item that allows us to restore the session to how it started to try again or at the very least get a list of the pages we were looking at. They don't show up in Recently Closed Windows and the Restore Previous Session is greyed out too. Gah! Help!

  • I can't download the Adobe Edge Reflow. The file's downloading is successfull but the file doesn't go to my Creative Cloud so I can't install the programme. I have already install the Photoshop CC and the Reflow Plug-in for Photoshop. May I ask help? :) T

    Hello
    1. I am running on Windows 8.1
    2. When running the installer file from https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/reflow I get the following choice
    I click "OK" which doesn't do anything for me (CC is off).
    I turn CC on and run the installer again. I get the following window that within few settings disappears:
    Then - just for half a second it says "Launching Creative Cloud desktop" and then it brings CC to front, and that's all.
    RF still not there.
    3. I spoke ta support agent on the Adobe chat on Friday. He looked into my computer for an hour. Uninstalled After Effects (after failing to update it). For some reason all apps disappeared from the list. They then reappeared after he opened PS.
    This morning After Effects is still showing up in my system and is operational.
    Weird.
    4. At the end the agent suggested maybe Firewall is the problem here. Trying that out now.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

    i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating.  Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,
    Joern

  • Can't modify/delete/replace dwg files

    I'm having a really odd problem with our 10.5.8 server:
    In a share point we have a ACL with owner&group allow r&w permissions inherited to the whole subfolder. So we all should be able to add, delete and modfy files we create together; and that's what the permission inspector tells too.
    But:
    Everything works like it's supposed to except with .dwg files. We can read dwg files, but we can't overwrite or delete existing ones. When trying to overwrite a file from a program, it just tells it can't save it. In Finder if I try to replace or delete a dwg, Finder tells it's being used. But they aren't.
    So what kind of process there can be running that's keeping all our dwg files locked?

  • Why can't I delete simple photo files even with admin access?

    I'm cleaning my Time Capsule HD deleting some photo files. Most of them were just moved to trash, but when I try to move a specific folder, the OS asks my password saying that Finder wants to make changes. After typing in my password I receive a message that I don't have permission to access some of the items. It dosn't make any sense since I, same account tring to delete them, have copied these files into that folder.
    I really appreciate any support.
    Thaks and regards,
    Alex

  • Issue accessing files in Customer SFTP site but PC users can

    When logging into a Customers SFTP site for Project Files, I get the following message:
    "A component on this page is taking longer to load than anticipated. You can keep waiting, exit the page, or switch to an alternate file transfer page that has fewer features but doesn't rely on this component."
    If I choose the "Alternative File" choice, it lets me in the site but I can not open or obtain pdf file seen there.
    Any ideas?

    If you really need to have the profiles stored on the server then my idea wouldn't work for you because it would accomplish quite the opposite - it would store the profile on the PC locally. This will not help you. I have forbidden roaming profiles using the registry keys in my company but here each person only uses the same single PC every day so it is OK for us.

  • Is it possible to make a podcast show up in itunes once it has been deleted, but the file is still in its folder?

    Occasionally I will delete a podcast from the podcast menu, once I have listened to it, but then I would like to return it to its place so I can still listen to it again on my ipod. Is this possible? I have tried dragging the file into the itunes library, but it won't show up in its right place among the other podcasts.

    Ok let me ask you IF the IT department of your workplace does NOT want OS X installed on "THEIR" (The Companies) computers because of what they think is some type of security issue why are you trying to go against their wishes and install OS X on a computer that is NOT owned by you.
    That could cost you your job.
    If you continue down this path you will screw up the Windows install and have to take the system back to the IT department to get it fixed. What do you think they will say at that point?
    Do as you like but you would be better off just buying your own Mac computer if you are set on using OS X as your personal operating system.
