I find files onmy desktop that I am unable to move ,trash or relocate. How can I clear my desktop?

Ongoing problem with Excel on Macs - it's been around since at least 2004 or earlier. For some reason some of the temporay files don't get deleted when you save.
Re-launching Finder sometimes works, but otherwise restart.

OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

I cut photos from folder and exit iPhoto. When I return, the photos are back. how can I get rid of them?

How can I get rid of unwanted photos. As I'm going along removing pictures, they seem to be gone. When I return to iPhoto, they are back.

The original images are in your Library section - (events and photos). In order to delete them permanently, you need to select the image, and drag it to the trash in the left hand column of iPhoto, or go to "photos / move to trash".
This puts them in the iPhoto trash, and they are still not gone. To delete them completely, you must select trash in the left, then select to empty iPhoto trash.
All images you see in albums, or slideshow, are just short cuts back to the originals, in the events and photos sections. If you delete them from albums, they are still in the library section.

Rented movies won't delete; how can I get rid of them?

They have been on my iPad longer than 30 days, and I can no longer access them, but they are eating up memory and I can't download anything new. Can't find the files on my computer to erase the files there. I am at a loss. How can i get rid of the movies on my iPad?

Try tapping Videos, swiping your finger across the movie and then tapping delete.
If you can't delete the movie that way, try checking Manually managing music and videos from the iPad Summary tab in iTunes, then click the triangle to the left of the iPad under Devices in iTunes. Then delete the movie from the iPad using iTunes by clicking Movies under the iPad and right-cicking the movie and choosing delete.

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

Dreamweaver CS6 uses old, deleted files: How can I get rid of them?

Hi Everyone,
this is my first posting... I have a problem that is really annoying. Using Dreamweaver CS6 on a Win-7-64bit desktop computer, I had external help for transferring a website into html5 and CSS3. When the site was nearly done, I imported the whole site and worked on it by myself using Dreamweaver CS6. This worked well, until I had external help again in the index.html file. I imported the new index.html file that was worked on externally, but dreamweaver does not allow this: It keeps showing the old index.html file that I had deleted before, even when I try to re-import the site etc. In the web, I found that it might be helpful to remove the file history using regedit. I did that, and also tried my very best to remove every remnant from the old version, aftzer that, used CCleaner and Tuneup Utilities 2014, and again, this did not help. I then thought the only way would be de-installing Dreamweaver CS6, again cleaning my whole computer for any probably remaining filed or .bak files, and then after several re-starts and cleaning processes, I re-installed Dreamweaver CS6, in the hope it would work now. However, Dreamweaver again came up with the same problem. Somewhere in the mists of the harddisk, dramweaver still must have access to long deleted files, and again does not allow me to work on the new corrected index.html file. Does anyone of you have an idea how I can get this working properly? Thanks sincerely in advance, and best regards from the Salzburg Lake District, Giraldus

Something seriously strange is happening on your system.
You deleted the index.html file from your machine and DW is somehow still opening it?
Can you have both the new and old one open at the same time within Dreamweaver?
If so, go into Source View and copy all the code from the new one. Highlight and delete the code from the old file and paste the new code in. Hit Save on the old file.
If that doesn't fix the issue, you'll need to contact your IT guy to have the wombats cleared out of your system. DW only works with the files on your hard drive, it doesn't store them, so if you've tried to delete something and DW can still see it, it's still on your system (the deletion attempt failed). You may have some kind of permissions issue or something more serious going wrong with your OS.

When I go to type a name or number from my contacts on my iPhone 4, next to the "To:" box, a picture that was previously in my photo library pops up, how can I get rid of this bug?

Exactly how it sounds, my mother in law is having troubles with her iPhone. When she types anything into the "To:" box, this photo, previously in her photo library, pops up.

Hello Rchrdrvr94,
I would suggest 3 things here. First if you haven't already, Restart the iPhone with tis procedure from
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve the issue, then I recommend closing all the apps.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the - to close it.
Double-click the Home button and try opening the app again.
And if that fails to resolve the issue, then I suggest backing up and restoring your iPhone with iTunes.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

All the best,
Sterling

When opening music player, I keep getting icons that say waiting. These keep adding up and I can't get rid of them

I have icons that pop up and say: waiting but nothing loads, these keep coming in after I open music player. I can't delete these either

go to the appstore and make sure that there are no new updates for Drawsomething.
If that is fine, double tap the home button and remove every app you see in that area. (hold your finger on the recent apps area that just came up and then remove every app from that area.
Now try to go to DrawSomething.
If that didn't do it:
Now go to where you have draw something and remove it from your ipad (hold down the icon until it all of them start to wiggle and hit the X on Draw something.
Now go back to the App Store and redownload draw something.
See if that doesn't help.

How can I get rid of "locked items" in Trash?

I am deleting old Time Machine files from my external drive, using my MacBook Pro (2007) to do it. I've been doing this for several weeks, but now when I'm in Trash and click "Empty Securely" I get this message: "There are some locked items in Trash. Do you want to remove all the items, including the locked ones, or just the unlocked items?" Regardless of whether I click on "Remove unlocked items" or "Remove all items", the process stops almost immediately and the Trash remains full. What might be the "locked items" and how can I get rid of them?

You might try restarting and then try to empty the Trash.
If that doesn't work, see -> Solving Trash Problems.

Try another browser such a Safari. If you get the same issue then it's probably the site, if it works OK on another browser then it's probably Chrome and you should re-post on a Chrome forum discussion board.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in & I can't get rid of them.

Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in. I can't get rid of them. I've tried clearing the cache and cookies. I couldn't find an option to clear private data, don't know if that would work. My Yahoo password is not saved and my password is not the problem. I just want to know how to delete previously used emails from logging in suggestions so they stop appearing, hope you can help, cheeeers - Dave.

Thanks very much for the response Sandee. I tried your suggestion of the Annotation option and this worked! - wonderful.. altho this test now works for me I'd still love to get it working from InDesign.
What I'm trying to achieve... my client had 5 powerpoint presentations that need updating with new branding (totally about 160 pages - with about 20 basic animations - i.e. flashing lights on products etc).
I sold him on the idea of using InDesign/PDF rather than powerpoint - but am needing to find an easy solution for the animations. So I've been working on this test file. Have self taught myself on a basic flash animation (from Lynda.com)... and tried importing both SWF and QT .MOV into InDesign and then exporting to PDF and when it loaded up in Acrobat it would always "unexpectedly quit" upon opening... even after trying different versions of PDF compatibility and restarting etc.
Is there something obvious that I'm not doing right?
Also if I get it to work, does that mean that my client and all their staff around the world will need to be Acrobat Reader 9?
Thanks again for your time and help
