Strange issue while trying to delete files - locked item that I can't find

I am working on clearing off some hard drive space, and my first step was to remove some unneeded items from an external HD to make some space there. When I drag the folder I'm trying to delete to the trash, I first get a message that the items will be immediately deleted (I think because my internal HD is quite full?) and that's fine because I do want to delete these, so I say OK. It starts the process of deleting, and counting how many files it's deleting, then gives me a message that the operation cannot be completed because item "xx" is locked. The only solutions I have found on here involve unlocking "xx" but my problem is, when I search the computer and/or the external for item "xx" nothing is found. I'm really not sure if the issue with item "xx" is an issue with the drive or with the computer, or what to do about it?? If it's the drive, I suppose I could back up what I do want to save from the drive then re-format it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and please word any answers as if you are speaking to a complete idiot, because with regards to this kind of information, you are! Thanks!

Ah, I see now.

HT5500 I'm trying to delete contacts on my iPad and can't find any way to do it

I have accessed every online hint I could find. There is no 'delete contact' when I try to edit. some of the contacts are just ridiculous - people I don't have in any of my contact lists, and who are not friends on Facebook. None of my 'real' contacts are included. I'm completely stumped!

Go in to Settings>Facebook and turn off Contacts if this is on as this will allow Facebook to populate your Contacts app.

After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone.
After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!)
Is there any way I can get my songs back?
When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
Thanks

If you have a unencrypted boot hard drive and willing to buy another external powered drive and $100 software, the files can be recovered using this method and Data Rescue.

Hi! I have a MacBook and I am trying to delete files from Microsoft Word. Somehow I cannot simply throw them in the trash. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hi! I have a MacBook and I am trying to delete files from Microsoft Word. Somehow I cannot simply throw them in the trash. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Why not? Are there error messages? Where are the files located? Why are you deleting MicroSoft Word files?

Error while trying access video file in KM Content

Hi All,
I are having an issue while trying to access video files located in KM.
When we try to access the file we get and error : getting content of document failed: /usr/sap/pa8/SYS/global/config/cm/ep/content/73/47/6176162974773.CONTENT (no such file or directory)
The file is a .wmv file and has a size of 49 MB. Whereas some other files of size 34 MB opens up with no issues.
This is happening on production environment but the same works fine in pre prod environment.
I am trying to access the file from Content Administration -> KM Content
This issue is happening for multiple files of larger size in that environment. Please suggest how to rectify the issue.

Path does not exit - While trying to save file on SharPoint Server 2013 from client machine

Hi,
I have installed Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Edition on my testing Lab environment (On VM Workstation 10) on Windows Server 2012 with SQL server 2012, I can access all files stored at SharePoint Server from any physical machine, I can share
a single file among different people to work simultaneously, but here i stuck on saving any file from client machine to directly on SharePoint Server, Attached is the snap shot, whenever I try to save any file directly It says Path Does Not Exist, If I drag
and drop any file directly to SharePoint I do not see any error message.
I read from different posts that I need to Enable Desktop Experience Feature on Server 2012, which I installed but no positive result gained :(
I will appreciate for any possible help?

Getting Duplicate Object existing issue while deploying the BIAR file

Hi All,
We are trying to deploy BIAR File with XI R2 Command tool InstallEntSdkWrapper. But we are getting Duplicate Object exixting issue while deploying the BIAR file.
Error Message:
[report] [InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] Connecting to CMS plmdevapp31:6400 as administrator
   [report] [InstallEntSdkWrapper.CmsImportFile] Exception: An error occurred at the server :
   [report] Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder.
   [report]
   [report] [InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] BIAR File could not be imported
If we are doing any promition with Import Wizard we have an option to "Overwrite object contents" option to overwite exixting objects. It will very helpful if any one suggest how we can achieve this through InstallEntSdkWrapper.
Unfortunately there is no documentation availabe on InstallEntSdkWrapper.
Cheers!

That's a limitation with the XI Release 2 InstallEntSdkWrapper.jar tool.

I've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!

Error while trying to delete the universe from CMS

Dear All,
I am getting "Unable to reconnect to the CMS XXXXXXXXX. The session has been logged off or has expired" error while trying to delete any universe from the CMS. I tried restarting tomcat but it didnt work. I am unable to delete any universe from CMS. We have BO XI R2 SP2 environment on Windows 2003 Server.
regards,
Umair

SAP NOTE - 1199539 gives a possible solution to this problem:
When attempting to delete or migrate a universe, the following error message appears:
"Unable to reconnect to the CMS BUSOBJDV.ACSAD.NCSU.EDU. The session has been logged off or has expired."
Environment
BusinessObjects Enterprise Premium XI Release 2 SP1 CHF15
JDK version 1.4.2_08
Tomcat version is the same as that shipped with the product
Cause
The universes and connection pages are special (AFAIK) compared to the other pages because they are pure JSP, while most of the other Central Management Console (CMC) pages still go though the CMC and use COM/C++ code unaffected by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). If the JVM has not been updated against Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDST), it may calculate the incorrect time locally, and problems may occur with token expiry or validation.
Resolution
Update the Tomcat JDK to JDK 1.5.0_11 for EDST:
1. Go to the Microsoft web site and verify if you have the time zone update installed.
2. Download JDK 1.5.0_11.
3. Install JDK 1.5.0_11 on your server.
4. Modify the JAVA_HOME here:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\bin\setenv.bat
as follows:
set JAVA_HOME=C: \Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11\jre
5. In Java Virtual Machine and Java Class Path, modify JAVA properties for Tomcat (Start > Programs > Tomcat > Tomcat Configuration > Java). Replace the default Business Objects JDK 1.4 directory:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\j2sdk1.4.2_08
with JDK 1.5.0_11:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11
6. Go to Windows Time Zone (double-click Windows time) then on the Time Zone tab, select the automatically adjust clock for day light saving changes check box against EST time zone.
7. Restart Tomcat and the Central Management Server (CMS) and, if possible, reboot your computer.
Hope this works anyone facing this problem on Windows servers.
Not sure what the solution is for BO instances running on Solaris. We have business objects/Weblogic running on a solaris server. I tried just changing java home to jdk1.5.0_12 but this didn't work.

Facing issue while trying to disable automatic discovery of devices through Apple Bonjour

Hi All,
I am facing issue while trying to disable automatic discovery of devices through Apple Bonjour.
Background: Whenever our application is in running state, devices are automatically discovered if it connects to PC. We are using Apple Bonjour's auto discovery technology( mdnsresponder ).
We are registering a particular service type by using DNS API "DNSServiceRegister". Service type is getting registered properly and we are able to discovered that particular type of device.
Platform: Windows 7.0 / MAC 10.8
Issue:
But we are facing issue while trying to disable auto discovery of a device programmatically. i.e, unregistered a service reference programmatically from our windows application.
To unregistered a service we are using "DNSServiceRefDeallocate" DNS API. But looks like it is not working properly.
Is this DNS API “DNSServiceRefDeallocate” is correct one to unregistered the service?
Here is the step by step procedure that we are following to de-allocate a service reference:
1.Browsing / Query a service by using service type to get service reference (DNSServiceRef).
2.Get reference socket FD by using DNS API "DNSServiceRefSockFD".
3.Select a socket by using "select" API.
4.Close the socket that we got from step 2 by closesocket().
5.Delete the service reference by using DNS API "DNSServiceRefDeallocate" and service reference from step 1.
Are we missing any step to unregistered a service?
Regards,
Goutam

Original problem I noticed was that regular websites I go to (such as msn) were only partially downloading. I could see the text on the site but no pictures or videos. All web surfing was extremely slow. When I would go to a site such as man I would see another address in the lower left corner for "ads1.msads.net" or "cdn.optimizely.com" that is was trying to connect to. I tried using all three of my browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) and got the same response on all browsers. After I spent some time researching the issue I decided I probably had a adware/malware problem so I decided to try adwaremedic.com. I could also not access that site along with thesafemac.com or apple.com. I was also getting the same response on my other devices (iPhone, iPad, and a mac air). I could not access any of these sites on any of my devices although I could get to almost any other site although it was very slow. At that point I decided to unplug the router. I also did a number of other things before then to try and manually get rid of any adware. Eventually I got msn back working, apple.com, and the speed was much faster. But, I still can not access adwaremedic and thesafemac.com. I could access these on my phone with 3G but not on my wifi. This is where the problem still stands. I am sure I still have some adware on my computer and need to find a way to remove it. I am no techie so the complicated manual fixes are difficult for me to do.

SSO Issues while opening a ppt file document only from Solution Manager

Hi Experts,
Version - Solman 3.1
Issue
=====
While trying to open a Powerpoint(ppt) file document, from the service provided by Solution Manager thru a weblink:
1.A SSO authentication request of the server pops up requesting to authenticate Windows userid/password
2.After entering the windows password the first time..authentication is requested again..At times on the second chance of authentication, the request is successfull and the powerpoint document opens.. But we have faced issues wherein the issues had persisted for 5-6 chances and only then the ppt document opens.
3.Point to be noted is that even if the SSO authentication of the windows password is cancelled even the first chance the document opens..
4.Issue is only with powerpoint document and not with word document..
Going by point 3.. there is no relevance of the windows authentication to popup since authenticating or not authenticating doesn't matter.
Issue unknown is why is that whenever only a ppt document from Solman is being opened does the SSO Windows authentication window of Solman server opens.. Is there any settings to be considered..
Regards,
Nagendran

Since I am new to the field requesting the kind quick help by java experts here to help me change the code so that I would be able to search a web apge saved on disk and search and highlight a word in that page ....
Thanks in advance........
Looking forward for your kind suggestions......1) Did you write that code? If yes, proceed to 2). If no, I charge 150 euros/hr. Let me know when you want me to start.
2) Post the code for a program that opens a text file with the following in it:
hello world
and prints the contents out using System.out.println().
3) Modify the program in 2) to determine if the file contains the word "yes". Post the code.
4) An html file is no different than the text file in 2).
