One problem I experienced with my Time Capsule (TC) is because it’s basically a NAS, you really don’t have true “superuser\/root” access to it.<\/p>\n

I experienced this problem when I was fiddling with a hack on putting an Aperture Vault on a network share. Aperture<\/code> by default doesn’t allow you to create a vault in such a location; but you can always move it to one (and point Aperture<\/code> to it) afterwards.<\/em><\/p>\n

What you should NOT do however, is remove and delete that vault via Aperture<\/code> because it will, quite literally, fuck up<\/em> the file permissions. Even a sudo<\/code> command cannot vanquish this evil that we have just unwittingly created.<\/p>\n

Here’s a description I found on the net which was exactly what I experienced (and I paraphrased it):<\/p>\n

\n

… the folder locks, and unlocks whenever the goddamn thing feels like it<\/p>\n

So its locked, I go into “get info”, and I deselect the lock<\/em> checkbox, .5 seconds later, the thing locks it up by itself, and if I get it unlocked if I just click<\/em> on the folder, it locks up, or the lock will appear, then disappear. I restarted the TC, no hope.<\/p>\n

Basically, I have this folder on my TC, that is beyond delete-ability, and plays stupid folder games.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

To fix this, what you’ll need is a free application called Hide Folders.<\/em> Download it here<\/a><\/p>\n

Fire up Hide Folders<\/code>; visit the culprit(s) you want to delete; and drag the bastard(s) into it, and click on HIDE<\/em><\/p>\n

The file should disappear (naturally), then click on SHOW<\/em> to toggle it’s visibility back. Notice that the file now is not acting up; it’s now in an unconfused, stable<\/strong> state.<\/p>\n

You may now trash the files \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And resume regular programming.<\/p>\n

Hope someone finds this is useful.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
