Can't Put Back Files in Trash

Hi there,
I want to "Put Back" a folder in the Trash from my paritioned drive external drive. I believe the folder was put in the Trash by the XHDD automatically. The drive easily has enough free space.
Go to Trash > Control click on Folder > Put Back ...and nothing happens
One idea I have why this may is it: When I press Cmd+I and Get Info up on the Folder in the Trash, I am told its from the parition named "Back Disk [Time Machine]" which unsurpirsingly is I use exculsively for Time Machine backups. But I am quite sure this Folder "Storage Disk" partition. There is no file of the same name on my internal hard drive for TM backup.
It is worth mentioning that regardless of what needs to be to remove the Folder from the Trash I want it to end up on the "Storage Disk" for safe keeping
Any suggestions?
All help much appreciated

Boot from your external and try it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you want to put a folder in the Dock, open a Finder window and drag the folder to the right part of the Dock. In this case, you want to put the Downloads folder in the Dock again, so open a Finder window and drag Downloads from the Finder sidebar to the right part of the Dock

"Can't move referenced files to trash"

I was clearing my rejects from a project- 1400 of them! They were all referenced. At the end, I got an error message saying Aperture can't move referenced files to trash because I don't have access to the trash on that volume.
It removed them from the library but left the images on the drive- 1400 of them! (Seems like it would have let me know BEFORE removing them from the library!)
Anyway, I isolated them on the drive by relocating the masters that remain in the library which left the files from the removed images in place. It would have been ugly if I were deleting rejects library wide instead of within a single project.
The permissions in the Get Info window were fine, and the disk is formatted properly so I verified and repaired the disk in Disk Utility. No problems were found, but this resolved the issue of the volume not having access to the trash.
Anyone else ever seen anything like this?

It doesn't sound like it's an issue with the files themselves, but rather with the trash.
I haven't seen it, but I can see how that could occur. Each volume tends to have its own Trash folder. It's hidden, typically called .Trashes and at the root of the hard drive. I have had Trash-related issues outside of Aperture in the past (likely of my own doing). The issue with problems like these it it's nigh impossible to establish cause and effect… you could do something and not notice the problem for days or even weeks, in a completely un-related way.
I doubt that "Repair Permissions" is responsible for the fix, unless the files were on your boot volume. RP has no effect outside of a boot volume.

Can we put log file into comman storage

Hi all,
IN RAC mode database we put our archive log files into comman storage either it may be SAN or NAS,but my question is that can we put log files to in common storage, if not why is it so.thanks a lot in advance.

you can use common storage or local disks to store Archive Log Files
But Oracle need archive log locations to share on every nodes to helpful about backup + recovery from archivelog files.
In a RAC environment, each instance maintains its own set of archived redo logs. These may either be located on local file systems on each node or in a shared file system that can be accessed by all nodes. While space considerations may dictate that archived redo logs be stored on local file systems, Recommend that you attempt to locate these files on a shared file system. That is because it may be necessary to restore these files and a remote node may be performing the restore.
If your architecture or budget forces you to use local file systems, Recommend that you employ a completely symmetrical configuration and ensure that all nodes can access each archived redo log location over NFS or a similar protocol.Edited by: Surachart Opun (HunterX) on Jul 11, 2009 8:15 PM

Can't put back external hard disk

Hi,
I can never put back my external hard disk (USB). There's an alert it was in use and can't be ejected.
In use by which process?
Thanks a lot!
Peter

Thank you, Mark!
Yes, I meant "unmount". I'm translating this into English.
It must be a background app; even with all "frontend" apps quit, this message persists. When I restart, I have the same problem again if I don't turn the drive off quickly when everything is down. This is no solution.
I tried Disk Utility, TechTool Pro… – no way to analyze it because it can't be unmounted.
I have found a root process called "mds". If I force-quit it, I can unmount the HD.
What is "mds" for?

I'm trying to put movies onto my hard drive but i can't put the files with the same name onto the hard drive , finder won't let me change the name. What am i doing wrong?

Make a new folder and put them in that different folder. Then the names can be the same as others already on your drive.

They would have to do more than that to remove or alter the IMEI, or, as brad805 already said, the logic board has been damaged. The person they got if from was probably trying to dump it.

How can i put Jar Files in Java Runtime.?

HI,
how can i put jar files in JRE so that they are accessible every where.? is there some way.?
Regards,
AA

Closest you could get to this I think is to explode all your jars into the same parent directory. Then if you put that directory on the classpath, you should be able to access all classes in all jar files

How can I "Put Back" a time machine backup from the trash to my external hard drive?

Basically what happened was I accidentally put an older time machine backup from my external hard drive into the trash on my macbook. Since then, time machine has made new backups onto my external hard drive. How can I either "Put Back" or replace the deleted backup back into my hard drive?
Whenever I try to move it it says "A newer item named “Backups.backupdb” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the older one you’re moving?" I click replace and after a few minutes of loading, it says "Cannot replace. An item named "" already exists."

As long as you don't delete the trash, the files should be recoverable.
I suspect using the Put Back command could take a long time, so be patient.
If your Time Machine backups are mixed with your daughter's backups you might want to buy a larger drive and move the Time Machine files to the new drive.
Regarding missing photos in iPhoto...There might be options to rebuild/recover that data from iPhoto rather than trying to revert to a Time Machine backup.
Check out this third party app, iPhoto Library Manager. It has a demo.
http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
Options for a larger drive.
I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. Works on USB 2.0 ports. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.
I don't recommend Western Digital because of the boot problem with some of their drives.
LaCie makes good drives.
All Mac formatted drives will cost more and it’s easy to reformat with Disk Utility. Do not use the software that comes with the drives. It’s recommended that you use Apple’s Disk Utility.
Prices vary but this gives you an idea of what you’ll find. As you notice the second and third TB is usually only $15 more per TB. Normally, you’ll find these prices but right now the 1T is more than the 2T
Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 $85
Seagate Backup Plus 2 TB USB 3.0 $99
Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB USB 3.0 $115
I have seen the 3T on sale for $99.
Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.

I can't put some files in the Trash

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble putting some files in the trash...
They say they're adobe dreamweaver files, but I've never installed dreamweaver - I was only flagged up about them when I tried to install dreamweaver, and was told that it was already installed and I needed to remove any files etc.
So I did a search for all adobe or dreamweaver files, and sure enough there they were. I consequently tracked to whack them all in the bin, but to no avail. The computer would say "this will permanently delete the file, are you sure?" - I would click yes, and it froze for a moment every time I tried and then popped up with this error message:
"Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
Error code -61"
Here's a screen grab:
http://img78.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture2cb3.png (the error message)
http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture3sx0.png (the files in question are highlighted)
If anyone knows how I could delete these, that would be extremely helpful...
I've tried the get info, unlocking trick, and there's been no joy there - the read only options are faded out and not possible to change. I've also tried TrashIt, which was recommended, and didn't work...
Any ideas would be very kind, thanks...

I can't find my OSX disk
I don't really understand this (that disk shows up in the screenshot you uploaded of the Finder window resulting from your search), but I also think it's irrelevant.
I went back and read your original post, and I saw this: 'The computer would say "this will permanently delete the file, are you sure?"'. I've since seen another entry in this Topic List which indicates that you get such a message when your .Trash folder is gone. (Of course, there may be other reasons why you can get the message too.) If that's true, then you really need to fix it. One easy way to find out is, try creating an ordinary file in your home directory, and then drag it to the trash? Does that work? I suspect you'll get the same message about "this will permanently delete the file, are you sure". But if you say "yes", it should succeed in deleting it. But it does indicate that your .Trash folder is probably gone.
if I create a new account that is also an administrator, then bin them, are you sure this will work?
(I assume that by "bin them", you mean "drag them to the trash".) In fact, you can just create a new account that isn't an administrator (unlike what I said in my previous post). If that account drags the stuff to its trash, Finder will prompt it for the name of an administrator account (like, yours), and its password. If you provide it, then empty that account's trash, the stuff should go away just fine.
Incidentally, the Subject of the item I mentioned above is "Trash deletes any file without emptying".
If I'm right about your trash not working, and you want a way to "fix" it, you can get back. Or maybe make a new problem.
