Jan 05, 2010 Applications:: Finder Won't Delete Files Sent By Mail.app; OS X V10.7 Lion:: Why Does Finder Want Password For Every Action; ADVERTISEMENT OS X V10.7 Lion:: Finder Keeps Asking To Input Password Whenever Delete File To Trash Jun 23, 2012. Suddenly Finder keeps asking me to input my password whenever I delete a file to the trash. I found the problem emanated from my Mac and iCloud Keychain. On your Mac log in to Keychain and look for any multiple entries with the same login credentials. Once located, delete the duplicate(s) and restart your Mac. Then try your iDevice again; Try a full restore to stop the hourly prompt for your Apple ID/iCloud password.

I understand that you have done all the steps, I just want to say doing this in an order where it helps me, maybe it is the same as you have done, just want to check with you,

1) Remove exchange account from all external devices iMac iPad etc

2) Remove the link in outlook for each device

3) Reboot all external devices

4) Verify there is no link

Mac app store productivity. 5) Add account back to one device

6) After sync completion reboot the device and proceed to add additional devices one at a time in this manner

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Finder Keeps Asking To Input Password Whenever Delete File To Trash

Suddenly Finder keeps asking me to input my password whenever I delete a file to the trash. Emptying the trash is fine, though.I thought maybe I had clicked an option in Onyx that caused this, but having looked several times, I can't see anything in Onyx that would cause this. I've tried repairing disk permissions using Disk Utility, with no effect.

After searching a lot i found i could do it if i held cmd + backspace, but that requires two hands and means i have to take my right hand of the mouse, instead can't i just use the delete key instead of cmd+backspace?

OS X :: Unable To Delete File In Finder?

I downloaded this application for my iPhone which installed itself into my applications folder. Soon after I downloaded it I decided I didn't really want it and tried to delete it, but it kept on saying 'Unable to delete' cause it was in use or something. I did look at some threads giving advice on this subject and tried some other ways of deleting it but nothing happened and the file name is now 'deleteme.rtf.app'. Whenever I try Terminal it says there isn't a file on the desktop and I've made 100% sure all the letters are the right spaces apart etc, so now I'm stuck.

MacBook :: How To Delete File Without A Password

A couple times now, I've tried to copy DVDs onto my computer, then realize they won't work. I think it's because I copied the files and not the movie, but that's not the issue. The issue is, when I go to delete them, I can't. My parents have kept a password on my computer since I got it about three years ago. It's a rare occasion when they take the password off for a few days. Under those circumstances, when the password is off, I can delete the file without any issue. But when the password is on, I can't even move the file to the trash. It keeps asking for a password. I can't even move it to a different folder. It's just sitting on my desktop, taking up space. There's not even anything in it, because I stopped the copying only seconds after it started.
My question is, how can I get around the password to delete this file? I can't restart my computer or anything, because I'll need a password to do that. I need some trick that will bypass the password and get it into the trash. And deleted from the trash, if possible.

Below is my old review. If you can use the same type of UI that Signal and Telegram use I would give this app 5 stars and also refer most of my friends and colleagues to use it. How to restart messenger app on mac. Thank you for fixing most of the issues.

OS X :: Asks For Password To Delete File?

I used an external Windows formatted USB hard drive to transport my files from my old laptop to my new Black MacBook.
There are files I do not need, so on my MacBook I highlighted the files and directories and dragged them to the trash, a dialog box asked me for my password, I supplied it, then nothing happened, ie, it did not delete the files.
I am not sure what this means, and I want to delete the files.

MacBook Pro :: Unable To Delete DS_Store File / File Keeps Popping Up On My Desktop

I am relatively new to the Mac. I have a Macbook Pro 2.2GHz. Today, a file keeps popping up on my desktop. It is named .DS_Store. The icon looks like a text document.

Any idea how to get rid of it?

Software :: Can't Delete A Locked File - How To Delete

After I installed OS X I decided to go through my other partitions & do a little spring cleaning. In all, I trashed over 400MB of crap, but one file has refused to be deleted (it's a locked file left over from the old 3Com ISDN modem I had). When I try to empty the trash I get the following message:
'The operation cannot be completed because the item 'IQ320.BIN' is locked.'
So, I look through the system help & find out that I either need to log in to OS X as the user who created the document ('root') or restart into OS 9 & unlock it from there.
Well, neither tactic has worked thus far. I restarted into OS 9 but found out that I can't access the file because it's in the trash (in OS X), which is an invisible directory (/Langly/.Trashes/102/). So then I restarted into OS X, logged in as root, but I still couldn't delete it. Desperate, I opened terminal, switched to root (su) found the files, but still can't delete the darned file. I tried rm, mv (thought if I moved it to somewhere that OS 9 could see it..), even chown, but each time I got 'Operation not permitted.' Any thoughts out there?

OS X Mavericks :: Finder - Replace A File With Another File

I want a game to play my favorite song when the game is supposed to be playing its own theme song. The theme song is in a sound file that is located on my computer's hard drive. The theme song sound file is in the same format as the sound file that contains my favorite song, so I don't need to convert any files. What is the easiest way to make the game think that the sound file I want the game to use is the sound file of the theme song?
