Permissions, deleting a program

I'm not sure where this should be posted. A software upgrade (trying to update Photo Shop Elements) installed a program I don't want: Front Row. When I try to delete it, I am told I don't have permission to access some of the items. (This is one thing that has never made sense to me about OSX - its my computer, I'm the administrator. Why would there be any file or program I don't have permission to move, delete, or whatever?)
After searching under "permissions" on the forum, I had Disk Utility repair permissions, then ran "verify Permissions" again. All the remaining items are on the list of ones that can be ignored except: "ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Front Row.app".
I still can't delete it. I don't know what ACL is, but I'm wondering if my attempt to change permissions in Get Info for the program prevented the permissions on this one program from being repaired?

Front Row is an Apple installed Application that shipped with your system... unless there are 2 Front Row.app?

When I close Photoshop CS6, the following message appears: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

When I quit Photoshop CS6, the following message appears:
" Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder."
If I try to change the Workspace in PS6 from Essentials to any other Workspace, the following messsage appears:
"Could not apply the workspace because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder."
I have checked the Sharing and Permissions section of the "Get Info" panel accessed from the Finder and I have set Read and Write Privileges for my user account for Photoshop CS6. System and Admin are also set to Read and Write.
I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Version 10.9.5 and have all available updates for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 5 and Bridge CS6.
I tried uninstalling the program and downloading it again and reinstalling, but nothing changed.
Can you help?
Thanks,

Photoshop won't start: Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file."
I've tried finding and checking and fixing permissions but no success.
This happened from one day to the next. I think it has to do with the sn attached to the disk rather then the motherboard. I have the suite co-installed with Symphony 5.05. I've tried reinstalling.
What's to b done? The rest of the Creative Suite 6 (AE, AI etc.) works fine.
Anyone...?

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

After updating my latest iTunes, the currupted program won't open or start, even tried deleting the program and reinstall.

On my Windows 7, my latest iTune, after udating to the latest version, I cannot open or start the program. I even deleted the program from my system and then reinstall/download iTune from Apple Store, but the same problem persist. Anyway to get back my iTune back?

Hey there nkg0319,
It sounds like you have uninstalled the iTunes application but you are still not able to launch it after a recent update. I would recommend uninstalling the iTunes application and its associated files with the following article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Then download iTunes again, with this link:

All the best,

How do i delete a program off of a mac?

i've had my mac for a while but i was wondering how do i delete a program off of it i've just been taking the folders the program is in and dragging it to the trash? is that the right way.

Hi Rebecca --
Yes, dragging the app to be disposed of to the trash and emptying the trash deletes the app. from your system.
But some apps come with their own uninstaller. When they do, the preferred method of deleting them is to use the uninstaller.
If you're wondering whether you've gotten all the files related to a particular app off of your machine, you can always run a spotlight search and see if anything remains, but in most (almost all cases) these straggler files (should they be there at all) are typically quite small and nothing to worry about.

PS Your stats note that you're presently running OS X 10.4.3. If that's so, you might want to think about updating to the most current version (10.4.5), as Apple recommends it for all users. You can update just by running Software Update (clicking the Apple Menu > Software Update) or you can use the 10.4.5 Combo Updater. In my view (and in many others') the Combo Updater is the way to go.

Hello, HenryWang2103.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted. Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled. You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down. Here is some information regarding these features. The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

i deleted some programs and now i cant close my ipad

I have no clue what close your iPad means. You can't shut it off? Try rebooting and see what happens.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Any apps you've had installed on your iPad can be downloaded again.
Go to App Store on your iPad and select 'Updates' and then tap on Purchased. You can then view all purchases made on the iPad or purchases made on other devices by selecting the 'Not on this iPad' tab.
