I installed a new VPN profile to connect to a MacMini Server on System Preferences > Network, and I found there an old VPN profile that I don't want to use anymore. I tried to disable the service, but the delete button is greyed out, even if this service is active. Â
How can I remove this old VPN Profile? Â
I installed a small program which I now can't get rid of. The program is called Imac fan control. The package does have uninstall instructions, but these don't seem to work in Lion. I've asked the developers for help, but this being freeware, they don't offer any support. Can anyone tell me whether the program will be deleted if I use time machine to go back to the day before it was installed?

I installed a game called PlaneShift and now want to uninstall it. It does not appear to have an uninstaller. When I try to move the file the client is in, the client itself, or any of the other files in the folder to the trash I get a message that says this cannot be done because the file cannot be deleted. The file stays where it was and nothing happens. The file is not locked nor is the application running. I even downloaded CleanMyMac to delete it which would claim to have done the job yet the folder and everything it it would still remain. Googling it yielded some commands to put in to the terminal to delete it with the root account

So after trying to Log and Transfer some files from Final Cut Express (yes, express...) I ended up with these strange files taking up huge amounts fo space on my hard drive! I ended up with a file that is a whopping 180gb and the second clip is saying it is zero kb in size. I can not delete the files. They do not drag or drop, I cant open there enclosing folders and i cant simply two finger click to delete them either. (open enclosing folder and move to trash are simply not given options)Â
I can access the Get Info option to see the persmissions and all it says is "You have unknown access" When i try to simply open them they throw up a blocken alias warning. Delete Alias does not do anything, and I can not Fix the Alias as the original files no longer exist on my camera. The files have the .mov file extension and yea... really trying to avoid having to do a full reinstal of my system!Â

Where did "save as" go in Pages 2009? It works fine in 2008, but can't find the command in 2009. Choices seem to be - "save copy" which saves document under existing name, or "duplicate" which saves a copy but then name & folder have to be edited. How can I save a changes as a new file name, in new location?

I just got a new Macbook Pro 15.4" laptop (and I love it!). The OS version is 10.7.3. I have been installing a bunch of applications and have noticed one thing thats kindof annoying. For like 90% of the applications I install this happens.... I let the install finish then I browse to the download folder and move the .dmg file to the trash. So far so good. But then when I try to empty the trash I get the message: "The operation can't be completed because the item <app name> is in use." The application install finished so why can't i delete the .dmg file? Is there something in Mac that is similar to the Windows Task Manager so that I can see if the install process is still running in the background (and kill it)?Â

When I put it in the trash and tries to delete it, it tells me that it is in use, even if it's not, and no program but the finder is running.So I've gone with the terminal solution.I type "sudo rm-f " with a space after the f, drag my file. It ask me for my password that I type, and it says command not found.And then if I type sudo rm-f again, it tells me again that the command is not found.It was like a second ago, and not anymore?Does anyone have an idea on how to get rid of that file?

In my network settings I added a VPN service by clicking on the plus button. I cannot delete this network service anymore. It seems to be stuck. The minus button is blurred and not active. I can change its position and deactivate it but not delete. I can add additional services which I can also delete. Only one VPN entry is stuck. Is there a terminal way to delete such entry? Or any plist I have to edit?

There appears an unknown file on the desktop. I cannot delete it, cannot open information about it, cannot move it away. When trying to delete it a message appears "This file cannot be moved into trash". I have no idea what it might be, however I want to delete this file. This file might be seen on the desktop only, but not in the finder window.

After deleting a message the already read message above becomes selected instead of the unread message below. How do I change this? I have changed the sort by field to assending and decending. I looked at my husbands mail and it does not do this. I do not see any preference options to fix it.To recap, I want to start at the top of my new messages and if I want to keep a message I will go to the next unread one and delete that one without the one I want to keep becomeing the targeted message

When using Mail (and on iPad and iPhone) , mail is not really getting deleted.I can check it on one device and delete it but it always continues to show up on the other devices until I delete it on that device.I end up having to delete everything 3 times. (yes, they are all set to delete from server) Â This is POP on both Comcast.net and local ISP.

I have a folder over 1 GB (in my HDD), with Windows Executable files; along with .dmg's, a video, and a few text files.For some reason, the files just do not want to erase themselves. I've tried a Secure Empty of the trash can; I've tried entering a sudo comain in Terminal, but it won't let me enter my password; I've tried dragging into Shredder, on MacKeeper, but it takes forever to in there, so I end up giving up.Â
