Want to delete a half-downloaded file but it refuses to delete. Any suggestions?

There's a file on my desktop. It's a half-downloaded file and want to delete it but every time I try to, it says it cannot be deleted. There must be a way around this.
Before anyone asks, it is not a locked file either.
Any help would be useful.

While in Finder, if you select the file in question then get info on it by selecting "Get Info" from the File menu and check the "Sharing & Permissions" area (which you may have to expand) do you have read & write access?

With your machine you should have received a couple of disks, one of which has application software or even a separate iLife disk...use that to reinstall the iLife software and update from there.

Is your portlet a mobile portlet ?
if yes you can specify that it is not a "mobile only" portlet.

My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents

1: when texting, if I tap e.g. the letter T, occasionally 3 or 4 letters T will follow in rapid succession or when the letter T is highlighted to confirm the letter is correct, it will freeze at that point
. Also, when scrolling through a message thread to find a particular message, sometimes I have no control over stopping at the wanted message - rapid scrolling right back to the first text occurs & often when I then try again, the reverse happens with rapid scrolling (uncontrollably) through the messages to the last message received.
2: My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents & data' (17.9KB) under 'PREVIEW' is before hitting 'delete'

I can download and it goes to my download file but when I try to Run to install, I get nothing. I'm on Windows 8.

I have download in my download file but I can do nothing with it. When I try to delete it, I get the message that it can't be deleted because it is open. If I click run from the start button, it does nothing. I've tried troubleshooting and it just sits and does nothing.

The installer might be crashing and hanging in memory.
If the installer you downloaded has the word "stub" in the name or is not a very large file, try downloading the full installer from this page (scroll down to your preferred language):
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
Sometimes after numerous installs or install attempts the Windows Installer seems to become a bit constipated. You can shut down Windows and start it up again to clear any backlog of deferred actions (i.e., actions that can only be taken when certain files are not in use).

I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit?

I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit? I have not published anything, just previewed on my ipad but the file seems to be deleted from my imac which is what I was using ibooks author on. Any help is welcome!

It's not a 'process' at all.
If it was easy/straightforward, people would be turning store versions into iBA versions left/right and all **** would break loose. It's not and that's a good thing, sorry
Work up from whatever version you have.
Any work you value should be backed up....period. That backup should be used and tested regularly. Consider this a lesson learned, perhaps. Good luck in the future.

Try resetting your iPad. Press and hold both the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Try your book.

Can anybody help me with this??? What is lacking...
Thank you in advance.

Put this code into a servlet rather than a JSP.
JSP are for returning text based HTML pages. It adds extra carriage returns into the response that will corrupt the file, and prevent the dialog showing up.
This code is much better off being in a servlet
If you are using a FileInputStream, you should be using a ServletOutputStream rather than the JSP writer: response.getOutputStream()
When dealing with file input in a JSP/Servlet you should use the methods of ServletContext. getRealPath() turns a website relative file into a real location on disk. getResourceAsStream() opens the file for you. getResourceAsStream() is more reliable as it will work even if the web app is deployed in a packed WAR.

When downloading files in Safari - they are deleted - with the message "contained virus" - whatever site I download from - even my own files from online storage sites. Very irritating. Any suggestions?

When I download file sin Safari they are deleted automatically. The message I get is: "deleted because it contained a virus".
How do I solve this?
I have uninstalled and installed Safari a couple of times - to no avail.
I have no trouble in other navigators.
Thank you.

this is yahoo messenger im talking about
thanks
george

okay george, I'll try to help you
1-download yahoo messenger. save the .dmg file to your desktop or downloads, wherever your downloaded files go. Double click on it after it has downloaded and it should open up. (ah, I see-i checked out the youtube video on how to install it). then read the terms and conditions, click on agree, then drag the app (the smiley face) to the Applications folder (the square, as you call it), then it should copy it to the Applications folder. Then right or control click on the open yahoo messenger .dmg thing, and choose Eject, which should eject it into the trash. You are done installing Yahoo Messenger. click your hard drive icon on the right top of your screen and move to the Applications folder. Yahoo Messenger should be there. If you need quick access to it, or use it a lot, you can drag a copy to the dock....
Why are things so difficult? it's good to be curious, george. Might I suggest booking some time at the Apple store, or if you can afford to, pay for some one-to-one training
Using the Mac isn't difficult, but it does take some practise and getting used to

I can't update or delete (to reinstall) iTunes. I get a message that "iTunes.msi" can't be found or is not available. It's there but may be corrupted? Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
