HT2470 About finder and trash bin

Hi there,
Could you please help me to find out why my finder and trash bin keep flickering and I cannot find all the files on my desktop. Besides, whenever I maximize the page it just disappears very quickly. And it happens to the dashborad too. My serial number is " C0******R53", and I only use the mac system which was updated to OSX 10.9.1. Thanks very much.
Kind regards,
Yi Ye

Any help will be appreciated!!!

No finder and trash icon

I tried to modify my dock using leopard docks and when I changed it, I lost my finder and trash icon, there is a blank space and when I roll my mouse over it, it shows the name, but not the icon.
And I can`t even get the right-click pop-up menu which I usually get by right-clicking or command+click on my mac.
Please help...

Yes I am running
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
And I even checked the roaring apps website, and the Leopard docks app is compatible with my OS.
I just noticed that there is no full screen icon on the top right. (The icon wich you can toggle full screen with)

Very strange. In iPhoto '11, cannot find my Trash bin under RECENT category - -need to retrieve missing photos.

Hello. I have been trying to solve this for quite some time on my own.
I've been using iPhoto for years, and get all the upgrades. Working with iPhoto tonight, trying to set up two new Albums, it added my entire iPhoto library into the first new Album I created. When I deleted that, then I tried to create another new Album, this time it added 26 photos from a different Album. Very strange. I deleted that new Album, too. When I went back to the date and photos I was originally looking at, I noticed the two I was going to place in the new Album were missing.
That's when I looked up for the Trash bin, which I've usually found under the RECENT category, but now is entirely gone.
Oh no...
I don't understand what is going on. If anyone has any clues, I would be most grateful for your insight.

Hello Terence,
Thanks for your rapid response. To answer your question, under RECENT, I currently see Last Import, Last 18 Months, Flagged, and...
Well, this is wonderful, the Trash is back again, right where it was before. I have also checked the photos that were missing, and they are back right where they were supposed to be.
Now I am wondering if this is a iPhoto '11 problem in general, since I noticed there were quite a number of other entries on the iPhoto discussion page on similar subjects, ranging from Trash trouble to missing photos this evening. Might there be anything to this?
It is great that in my case, it's all been restored. Next time, I will just quit iPhoto and re-open it again. Perhaps even restarting my Mac might well have been a good enough idea.
That was a close call. Thanks very much.

Where can i find the trash bin for my mail?

Where is my trash bin to delete my mail?

Generally speaking it's at the bottom center of the full email message display.
Typically, folks who do not have a trash bin there have archiving set on. Look at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your email account] and turn "Archive Messages" to "Off".

All photos and trash bin

I was looking at a picture under all photos. I then closed out the window but reopened it later. The picture was no longer under the all photos tab. It was in the trash bin. So is it possible to still view a photo under all photos even if it has been moved to the trash.

Finder And Trash Will Not Open

The problem arose about an hour ago, I went to click on the Finder icon in the dock, but to my surprise, nothing popped up. I tried again and again, but still nothing. I researched how to solve this issue, and I came across two solutions which did not work for me. I tried deleting the Finder Plist but after right clicking and pressing empty trash, nothing happened. I attempted to open trash. Nothing. I tried to Log Out, shut down, restart, and sleep. Nothing was working. I Repaired my Disk but nothing changed except smaller icons on my desktop. I finally managed to delete the plist file in my trash. But yet again. Nothing. If anyone can help me, it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.Dock.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
And go here for help to Resolve Trash Problems
Disk but nothing changed except smaller icons on my desktop.
Right or control click your MacintoshHD on your Desktop. Click: Show View Options
You can change the icon sizes there.

Lightroom has no uninstaller. Told to find and trash. Did that, CC installer says OK. NOT!

Lightroom does not have an uninstaller. Found the app,did that. The CC installers says it's OK. NOT!

thanks for the reply. No issues, not really. I have had every version since the first and don't recall an uninstaller for Lightroom.
But, I have always updated.
fron Adobe online help:
What's covered
Uninstall Lightroom on Mac OS
Uninstall Lightroom on Windows XP
Uninstall Lightroom on Windows Vista, Windows 7
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom does not include an uninstaller (a program that uninstalls Lightroom for you). Therefore, to uninstall Lightroom, it's necessary to manually delete several files. Follow the instructions below to uninstall Lightroom.
To the top
Uninstall Lightroom on Mac OS
In the Finder, navigate to the Applications folder.
Drag the Lightroom application to the Trash.
(Optional) Delete the preferences file, the catalog file, and other Lightroom files on your computer. For a list of those files and their default locations, see the following documents:
Preference file and other file locations | Lightroom 1.x
Preference file and other file locations | Lightroom 2.x
Preference file and other file locations | Lightroom 3.x
Preference file and other file locations | Lightroom 4.x
DON'T KNOW DATE OF THIS BUT SEEMS CURRENT.

Finder and Trash Icons

I was able to manually change my Trash and Finder Icons in the earlier OS Xs. The new Leopard seems a little different. Anyone have any extra advice or help? Thanks

Hello Anthony:
It would appear to me you have identified the cause of the problem. What is +"candy bar"+ anyhow?
Not knowing what you have done, there are several options to return to normal.
If you have Time Machine activated, just pick a backup before the problem occurred. If you have not beenn using Time Machine, an archive and install would restore OS X to its former state:

Finder and trash is not opening.

When I click on the finder icon and the trash icon in the dock, nothing happens. Even when I right click and press New Finder Window, nothing happens. If I want to upload a file, a window doesn't pop up for me to be able to access my files. When I edit a Pages document, it somehow says it is saved, but doesn't tell me where. On my desktop I have some files and folders, the images and other files open but not folders. With the trash I am somehow able to right click it and empty the trash can. Can someone please help solve this problem. I have restarted my Macbook Pro 13inch running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.3 several times and it still doesn't work. I even tried booting in safe mode but finder still doesn't work.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Finder crashed, you would enter "Finder" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Recovery from Finder and Trash

I had made files on my desktop then made a copy of them and put it in the finder listing on the side. I was cleaning my desktop and put the original files in the trash and emptied the trash, i did not know that the copies of the files that i put in the finder bar would also disappear when i emptied the trash. I Do not have time machine on my Mac.
Question: Is there a way to re locate your old files from within your computer or are the files forever gone?

those files are gone. the links in the sidebar are just aliases to the originals, not actual files.
the only way to (possibly) recover those files is to use data recovery software like Filesalvage or Data Rescue II.
and I suggest you start backing up to prevent these kinds of problems in the future.

IPhoto 9.2.1 deleted and trashed photos then are found in the Finder's trash

In iPhoto 9.2.1 when I move a photo to iPhoto's trash, and then empty iPhoto's trash folder, and quit iPhoto, I then find the deleted photo in a folder called iPhoto in my finder's trash bin. Is this correct behaviour?

Yes, this is the correct behaviour and was introduced with iPhoto 11. It mirrors the behaviour of Aperture in this respect.

Finder not opening and trash won't empty

Hi All,
I've had my iMac OS 10.4 for over a year and this is the first real problem I've had. Even this discussion forum is new to me.
Truly, I'm at my wits end.
So... Finder isn't opening. I think because the Finder doesn't open, it's not letting Trash empty.
Who knows?...
I've double-clicked on the bottom and it won't open but it seems to be stuck on the top bar. When I click onto Finder on top, it says 'about Finder, run full Finder, hide Finders, or hide others'.
I click onto 'run full Finder', the beach ball comes up for a few seconds but nothing happens.
I checked help; it told me to go to Utility disk and verify disk permissions. I did that and also verified disk.
It came up that 1 HFS volume needs repair but for whatever reason I can't press the repair disk button.
The computer doesn't allow me to.
Looking through in Apple support, it said something about going on single mode
and sbin/fsck -fy
did that and no go
BDAqua - I ran it with fsck -f and it said volume appears to be ok
I reboot and Finder and Trash is still not working.
I try Utility disk and NOW it tells me volume verification passed but both items still don't work.
I know this is too much but I'm hoping someone could help.
Can you help me out there?....
I'm Noe_help!

Try this:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

Cannot locate my Trash Bin nor my Dock! G4 -Imac

I was messing around with my computer settings (no, I don't exactly remember what I did) yesterday and now I cannot seem to find the Trash Bin, nor do I see the Dock on the left side or the bottom side or anything.
I know the power went off bfriefly but everything else seems to be fine.
Also I just bought a new Ipod Shuffle this Christmas. I only have OS X 10.2.8 and I need the new OS X system. Is there anywhere I could buy it at student prices? I am taking foreign language and could use the Ipod for that.
Also, when I play my songs on the Itunes, sometimes it repeats the same song over and over. It's not with all the playlists, but some. I don't recall doing an upgrade on the Itune for awhile. What could cause this?
TIA

Sometimes, if Dock "hiding" has been turned on, if you mouse over the area
it was supposed to be (if preference as to what side it should be on was not
changed also) the Dock will magically appear and then disappear as you
move the mouse over the hidden dock. You can see what the Dock setting
is by using the Dock item beneath the blue Apple in the Finder menubar.
You could try booting up from the Jaguar installer disc#1 and choose to
run Disk Utility from below the Installer's menubar (not running Installer)
and choose "repair disk" and then also run "repair disk permissions" note
if there is an issue when you run "repair disk" run it one or two more times
to see if any error there will be repaired; then run "repair disk permissions"
and then after these are run, choose to select startup disk from the menu
bar beneath the Installer name to boot from the hard disk drive. Of course
you'd need to quit disk utility first. In more usual times, you'd run Disk Utility
from the Applications/Utilities folder and choose "repair disk permissions"
from within there; not needing to boot from the Jaguar installer disc#1.
It is rare when the Dock just goes away. If the settings appear OK and
the Dock in not in "hiding" you may need to do other disk maintenance
and I suggest to download the Jaguar version of OnyX and run the default
set of choices under their "automation" tab. OnyX runs free; and can be
used to clear caches and run routines that often get overlooked.
