Impossible to delete folders in the Favorites menu in the side bar of the Finder

Since I upgraded to El Capitan, I was unable to delete folders in the Favorites menu in the side bar of the Finder. If I drag a folder in the sidebar of the Finder, it works normally. But when I decide to remove it by dragging it out he disappear. When I drag it cross-brand 'X' appears, and when I let go it makes the 'pop' sound and animated clouds appear briefly, just as he always has, but the folder again snaps and is still in the Menu favorites. I tried to use all kinds of modifier with this action keys, but no change. The only way to get rid of the file is to disconnect and back in, or sometimes it requires a complete reboot in order to get rid of it.

Also has anyone seen this behavior? I searched online for almost a year for a solution and I have not found a single instance of this ever reported bug. I use a 2011 13 "MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 but I have had this problem since the first version of El Capitan." Thanks for any help or idea.

It is not El Capitan. I've never seen this problem in versions of El Capitan, or ever in Yosemite. Maybe you have some question on the computer that is initially only as a bad Finder preferences file or a bad cache folder Finder.

The problem persists if your startup in Safe Mode?

  • Impossible to rename folders: restores the original name

    Original title: file rename rename my computer won't let me not rename folders. Can I rename the files, but not files. I click with the right button on the folder, click on "Rename", enter a new name, press the "enter" button, but nothing happens. The record is just instantly is the old name. What's most frustrating is that this problem only occurs on the profile of the administrator, not the standard user profiles. How can this be repaired?

    Create another admin account > this new admin login > try to rename a folder.
    If you are able to rename a folder in the new admin account, your old admin account is corrupted.

    myShortcut.remove ();

    Hmm. I have no problem removing broken aliases created in the Finder, but am not able to delete the symlinks broken on remote filesystems created with ln -s (or withile.createAlias ()f). Seems to be a bug for me, as the broken symbolic link can be deleted otherwise (in the Finder or with rm ). I guess you can use doScript() and an Applescript script:

    app.doScript('tell application "Finder" to delete POSIX file "' + myShortcut.fsName + '"', ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);
    

    Slow, however. You can use a 'do shell script' Applescript with rm but the multiple levels of bids and escape are a puzzle.

  • How can I find my photos in Aperture in the Finder (for Macs)?

    I have a full 8 photos Aperture GIGANTIC library. I have separated/cloisonne each year, except the last one in the library, 2014. I tried export library to a new library of many, many times only to have opening crash when I try to do. I am certain that it is because the new library would be great (I have a lot of pictures in the folder 2014) that he won't let me do.

    That said, I need a workaround solution. My first thought was to copy all photos by project, in folders in the Finder (I have an iMac) and just create a new library with these photos. While it worked, it would take me forever! So, there must be a better way to create this new library. Here are my ideas:

    1. I believe that there is a way you can find photos that are in the open in the Finder. I know, I know, it is not suggested for this. That's the problem since I signed for Lightroom because Apple did away with opening, so I don't care if my current database of opening it messes up. I have the Grand opening saved in two places, anyway.

    Can someone out there tell me how to find these photos? I right click on them and there is no option for ' info, or even to show the contents of the package. "

    2. can you someone thinking differently to create the new library?

    Thank you very much!

    Andy

    I am certain that it is because the new library would be great (I have a lot of pictures in the folder 2014) that he won't let me do.

    You have enough free free storage on the disk with the aperture library?

    The size of the exported library shouldn't matter, unless you are running out of storage.  I exported a partial library with 100000 photos without problem.

    What version of Aperture do you use? If it is opening 9.4.5 or an older version, disconnect from the Internet when you are working with Aperture. Older versions are currently crashing, if they can't access Google map servers.

    Frequently, it allows to run a repair of the library before you try to export an Aperture library. Have you tried?  See: repair and rebuild your Aperture library: Aperture 3 user manual

    . In my view, there is a way you can find photos that are in the open in the Finder. I know, I know, it is not suggested for this.

    To see your photos imported from 2014 in the Finder, select your Aperture library, ctrl + click, and then select "Show Package Contents".

    Open the 'Masters' folder and look for a 2014 subfolder.  It will contain all of the original images files for photos you imported in 2014.

    Hello

    Because you used the nickname 'DaddyJeff' do you need to remove the access of all to Favorites? Otherwise, please

  • My Outlook Express gives me an 0x800C0133 error. Impossible to delete my messages from the Inbox. Also, I don't find the file indox.dbx.

    I read the post on the copy the messages from the Inbox to another folder.  I tried, but get an error message.  I decided that I would just delete all but the messages will not delete.  I used the search function of windows to search for inbox.dbx, but he could not find the file.  I have a large number of messages in my Inbox and its ok if I lose all.  I get the error message when I start outlook express and download messages from my pop3 e-mail.  It still downloads messages from one of my other emails which is also a pop3 server.  I have windows xp pro and it is completely up to date.  Thank you...

    Hello craigalene,

    This issue may occur because of corrupted inbox in Outlook express.

    Perform the following troubleshooting steps and check if this solves the problem.

    Step 1:

    Create a new folder and move all mail from your Inbox to the new folder in Outlook Express.

    Follow these steps:

    a. click on the file menu.

    b. Select the folder and select new.

    c. give an appropriate name for the folder.

    d. Select all mails in the inbox and move to a different folder.

    e. move mail to the new folder.

    Step 2:

    I suggest to delete the Inbox.dbx file in your computer.

    In Windows XP Outlook Express files user (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under Start, Control Panel, Folder Options and view.

    Follow the steps to delete the Inbox.dbx file.

    a. close Outlook Express.

    b. use the search option to find the box of Inbox.dbx.

    c. delete the Inbox.dbx file.

    Note: Another will be created automatically when you open Outlook Express.

  • Impossible to delete iOS apps 10-pressing/holding icon just widgets for the app.

    Impossible to delete iOS apps 10-pressing/holding icon just widgets for the app.

    Hi b. Bruce Brinson,.

    I understand that you are having some difficulty to remove apps on your iPhone, and instead you see additional options for these applications. I know it's important to have control over what is on your iPhone, so I'm happy to help you.

    From what you described, it seems that you use tactile 3D, instead of simply touch and hold for remove. You can see more info on tactile 3D and how it works here:

    3D Touch - iPhone

    Tactile 3D

    Tactile 3D gives you an additional way to interact with the iPhone. On supported devices, you can tap the screen to see the previews, access useful shortcuts and more.

    Tactile 3D is based on:

    • iPhone 7

    • iPhone 7 more

    • iPhone 6 s

    • iPhone 6 sec more

    For example, press a notification to the lock screen to respond. In Mail, tap a message in the list of the mailbox for a glance at the contents of the message, and then slide up to see a list of actions. Or press a little more pop the open message. In Photos, tap a picture for the look to it, and then drag upward to share or copy it; Press a little bit more far to jump the image in full screen. In this document, look for other examples of tactile 3D, which are marked with .

    You can use Touch 3D on the home screen, tap the application to see the menus of fast action. For example, you can press the icon of the camera on the home screen, then choose Selfie take. Quick action also works in the Control Center. For example, press the flashlight, then choose a light bright, medium, or low.

    Once you have an understanding of what is currently happening, try the following steps to remove apps from your iPhone:

    Delete music, movies, applications, and other content to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Remove an application

    1. Press and hold the application until it stirs.
    2. Press on the in the upper left to remove.

    You may be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the app. If you see a pop-up that says, "[application name] remove will also remove all the data," press DELETE.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!
