• Cannot delete the plist file system.

  My Time Machine is not automatically back up my drive. He worked for some time (don't know why) and then stops working automatically. I tried to implement the procedure laid down by Linc Davis, delete the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, but make the message: 'com.apple.TimeMachine.plist' cannot be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.  I tried to change the permissions in the file information window to include Administrator Read and Write (only has this permission system. Which translates the message: "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization."

  Using the terminal window and sudo rm command produces the same message.

  I do a backup manually through the system preferences window, but it shows immediately that a backup disk has not been selected. Next time, I select the backup disk, perform a manual backup. Repeat the next time, I have run a manual backup.

  10.11.1 on new iMac, retina 5 K with 16 GB of memory running. Has made a migration to this previous computer Mac Pro 10.7.5.

  Also the Time Machine backup drive icon backup weather icon to see the Machine. Relaunch the Finder does not fix issue.

  Question: How can I delete the plist file?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

  Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

  If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

  Restart the computer and test.

• Cannot delete the pdf file in windows 8

  When I try to delete a pdf file, the computer starts but then a message that displays "the action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program."
  However, I do not think it actually is. I uninstalled the w.8 then reader app, which is impossible.
  I've only had the phone for two months now and it has been included with the free norton antivirus all the time, so I think that
  It is unlikely that there are malicious software on the laptop.
  Someone has an idea what can do and how I can fix?
  Thank you very much!

• "Cannot delete a single file.

  On a network drive, not local ('c'), I can not delete a file "single", but I can delete several files, if selected by using the CTRL key.     !!!???

• Cannot delete the program files x 86

  Hello
  I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 32 bit 64 bit.

  This is still a Program Files x 86 folder that I am trying to get rid. I managed to remove most of the files, and I was able to change the permission of owner so I can delete some other files.

  However, no matter how I change ownership and permission, I am unable to remove Adobe files and common files.

  Thanks for your suggestions, tips.

  You still need the x 86 folder.  If it was the 32-bit "remains", he would have the x 86 in the name of the folder.  This file is required and is used by many points of 32 bits, which are present in the base 64-bit OS, as objects of assistance of the browser plugins like flash and all the 32-bit programs you run (as all programs in the world, almost, like email clients, email programs, media players, etc.).

  Do not delete this folder.

• Cannot delete the downloaded file.

  I made a simple upload form and try to use the cffile to download, rename, and delete the original file. Thus, the process goes like this.

  Step 1: The user will browse their computer to capture the image they would like to download (ex: picture1.jpg). then click on the button transfer.

  Step 2: Use a cffile which would be to download the file. (picture1.jpg)

  Step 3: Other cffile to rename the original to the user ID picture that I have in the database. (renamed in 1 ".jpg")

  Step 4: Then another cffile to delete the original picture file, so there is only 1 picture, which is that of the renowned cffile. (on server, deleted picture1.jpg 1.jpg)

  hope that makes sense. Here's the code I used to try to get there.

  I always get an error on the part of remove code.

  So now my question is this. Is it possible that I can remove 'everything' in the C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\temp_images\ if I had to make another file of cfm for this function?

  Make sure that some files are in C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\temp_image. Then complete the following test beforehand.

  This lets you see how ColdFusion stores the directory as a query object. The code that you need follow.

• Cannot delete old help files

  IQ506 tired BSOD after updating Win7-64 on original Vista 64. Finally decided to do a clean install. 3 months and works well. When I did the clean install, for some reason, it creates a windows.old folder. Now, I'm trying to delete this folder and cannot do. He repeats to me I need admin approval. There is a computer at home and I am the only user and I've set up as the admin. I DL file called appropriate and he ran on the entire folder and subfolders. Still, I can't delete this folder. I have this same problem on external USB drives where I made backups going back several years. I have to constantly run him appropriated so I can manipulate files. I have worked with and built my own system dating back to the old time CPM, so I'm not a beginner. I understand trying to systems 'fool proof', but please, these are MY files and I should be able to remove. Sometimes I miss the old days BACK. (But I * beep * of course would not go back to the old days of Windows 3.1 unstable, the old diskettes and 20 discs hard meg!)

  Yes, I am a senior and I still want more recent/more great technology. I love Windows 7 but these rules administrator and lock out is driving me crazy. I know how to set up other users and limit their access, as I did for my daughters computer and my little children. But it's my computer, and again, I am the only user. What Miss me?

  Solution has been made so very simple. Seems he could have nothing more than a problem of refresh. I clicked on the Windows icon, click on logout of the user and then connected rear (even if I'm the only user account.) When I returned to windows.old, I could remove all without error. Better the process of re - install. Simple is always better. I still decided to never leave a machine or a system to get the better of me. Thanks for your help and maybe this simple step will help you others.

  ===============================================
  Sometimes, you can rename a file, then delete it.

  Sometimes, you can move a file and then delete it. at the office, for example.

  Sometimes, you can remove a file after you restart your computer.

  Sometimes, a file otherwise undeletable may be deleted in Mode without failure.

  And... the following freeware can usually remove anything:
