Will not let me delete file folder

I have duplicate file folders. If I try to delete the folder it will not let me or if I can delete the folder it comes back.

Mr. Victor,
I am not very tech savy but I believe I am using POP not IMAP. I can delete all other folders except the file folders that have a duplicate file. Duplicate file folder is not created by me, in fact if I try to make a duplicate file folder that already exists, Thunderbird will tell me that file already exists; change name.
Concerning the duplicate file folders (all are empty) I have three problems:
While in Thunderbird it will let me delete one of the file folders but I have to empty trash bin before I can delete the second file folder, however, when I turn my computer on the next time and go to Thunderbird the files folders are back.
When I click on properties of the duplicate file folders, one of the duplicate files has a default character Encoding of "Arabic ISO 8859-6" I have tried to change it to the "Western (ISO-8859-1)" which is what all the other file folders show but it does not help in resolving the problem.
Also when I open the properties option on the file folder, it gives an option to repair file folder which does nothing when clicked on.
I am concerned that there is some short of virus or other problem but McAfee scan shows no problems.

IPhoto9.3.2 on 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more

iPhoto9.3.2 on a iMac i7 2.93 GHz with 12GB running MacOS 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more, neither delete, comman delete or even emptying the trash works since i updated it a week ago.
anyone else have the same problem or a solution?

Same issue, but it's more involved... I don't use iphoto much, just to store photos, but I first noticed the problem about 2 months ago when trying to delete a photo.   It would not delete, and afterwards iphoto would hang on close, and trying to delete caused a crash entry in the log.    here's some details:
OS X 10.7.4, and 10.7.3. Possibly earlier.
iphoto 9.3.2, and one of the version 8's as well. Recently updated it.
If you try to delete a photo, here is the subsquent syslog:

I have repaired, and rebuilt the database. No change.
I have created a new database, imported 1 photo, and tried to delete it. No change.
I have copied the database (duplicated). No change.
I have deleted the iphoto preferences file. No change.
I have removed the application, and reinstalled from my iLife 11. No change.
I have removed the application and preferences folder, reinstalled from iLife 11. No change.
In addition to not being able to delete a photo, these additional problems exist:
Cannot delete an event.
Cannot move a photo from one event to another.
At this point, I'm fairly sure this is not a database issue. I'm also certain it's not related to the new update.   Anyone got an idea that isn't related to the database?

I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

rickeyt
Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
Thank you.

ADDRESS BOOK ENTRIES WILL NOT LET ME DELETE

This is nuts.
All I want to do is delete a "group" I created of addresses. I delete the group on my desktop machine, and turn my head for a minute. When I come back, BOOM, there it is again.
I want to clean up my addresses and get rid of the group and trim out about 100 contacts. But whatever I do, they just will not let me delete.
I have a feeling this has something to do with mobile.me and iSync. I have a DT a LT and an iPhone all synching contacts and calendars.
I have tried turning off MM and deleting the calendars then reimporting the (trimmed version) back in. I have tried loggin in / logging out on all machines. I have tried and tried but no matter what I do the stupid (bigger) address book (with) unwanted group just keeps coming back.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Can someone just tell me WTH I have to do to make it go away, start from scratch with a nice, cleaned up list and go from there?????
TIA,
SAS

Uh. Well. Wait.
Uh.
It just did it again. Without MobileMe.
I deleted all the addresses. Turned off iSync.
Imported a "culled" saved address book file.
Then (all I did) was add in a new address. Hit save. Turned my head for a second and when I turned back it WAS BACK. (THE OLD LARGER/BLOATED address book just popped up!!!) Out of nowhere!!!!!
OMG. HTH do you get the thing to go away????? Certainly there must be a way to just delete a database for good????? NO?

My iphone 5 will not let me delete emails and open up certain apps like Keep safe and kicks me out of different apps

My iPhone 5 will not let me delete emails. I trash them and they look like they are deleted and then they will load back in. I cannot open my Keep Safe app after the last update. It said I needed more storage so I upgraded and it still will not load. It opens for a second and then goes to home page. FB is hit or miss if it will open and when it does it is really slow. Any suggestions?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

I am trying to delete my icloud account to create a new one but it will not let me delete my old account

I am trying to delete my old icloud account but it will not let me delete the account?

If you are trying to delete an old iCloud account in order to sign in with an updated ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going tohttps://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use yourcurrent password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.comand change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Thanks for the information and your help. I have never bothered before changing the format. Next time I will.
I copied the library to the external drive and then it went and said they were referenced files but I was okay about that. Now it cannot see them and will not do anything with them. I think I will buy another external drive and start again by importing all of my files again. I guess 55K will keep the mac busy this week.

Check the required specs for the latest version of iTunes and iOS. What kind of Mac computer do you have and what OS does it have on it. Also, what kind of processor do you have, Intel?

Will not let me delete quicktime

It will not let me remove quicktime..ive deleted its folders..went to control pannel and when i try to remove it says it cannot be removed. Getiing very angry because I just got the ipod touch and I cant download itunes.
Please help, thanks.

I had this problem too. When I called apple yesterday they told me to call back because they were closing which was understandable but every time I called today it just gave me a message saying they were too busy and to call back later....Anyway after searching for quicktime.msi (the file I was missing which is why I couldn't uninstall) I found a forum that had the answer to my problem. Download this microsoft cleanup program. Install it and go to start>programs>Windows install cleanup, run the program and find quicktime on the list and remove it. This worked for me I hope it helps you!

Updated Facebook via the Apps store. Icon is "grayed" and will not open. It also will not let me delete, to download again. Anyone have this problem?

Updated Facebook via the apps store. Now, icon is "grayed" & will not open, nor will it let me delete it, so I can re-download. Has anyone had this problem?

Do you have another disk or Mac connected that has Pages '09 from the Mac App Store installed? If so, the MAS will "see" it & will report it as installed. Unmount any & all drives, including Time Machine backups, that might have Pages '09 on them & then relaunch the MAS & see if you can download it.
