I have dragged 2 files to the trash bin but I cannot delete them from the trash bin. It keeps telling me these files are in use when they are not. How do I delete these files? One is a txt file and the other is an xls file

From the Finder menu select 'Secure Empty Trash'. If this or the suggestion above doesn't resolve the problem take a look at the various suggestions in this link:

If I delete my songs from my "Downloads" folder, have them in my "Trash" and then delete them from my "Trash", will I still be able to play the songs on my iTunes or will they be deleted on my iTunes as well?

I want to clear some space on my Mac since it is filling up and I don't have much room left on it. I want to delete all my songs from my "Downloads" folder and then delete them from my "Trash" to free up space however, I'm worried that if I do this then iTunes will not play any of the songs I deleted.
Will I still be able to play my songs on iTunes even if they are not in my "Downloads" or "Trash" folders?
Thank you.

All tracks in iTunes (if you use default settings) should be in various artist and album folders in the main media folder in the iTunes folder. You can right click a track to reveal its location in Finder. If there's a copy there then it doesn't really matter what you do with other copies.
I have never downloaded from iTunes but I thought it placed files directly in the correct locations, or is this some other downloads folder to which you are referring?
Normally if you download a file from another source and add it to iTunes by dragging it there, or using the Add To menu item, it places a copy of the file in iTunes. You can discard the original, but if you're concerned you can check which copy iTunes is actually using as above.

HT201493 I have received 3 friend requests via email but I cannot accept them. When I select view request, it just gives me directions on downloading the app and there are no requests in my app. How do I accept the request?

Which "app" are you talking about?

I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion. This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it. I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date. It is usually correct, to within a few weeks. A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
I hope this helps.

I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

You've tried closing iTunes and rebooting your Mac and seeing if you can delete them after your Mac has restarted ?

When I initially open Firefox it opens 2 tabs. One is my home page and the other is another bookmark but I do not know why it is happening or how to stop it.

When I open Firefox 2 tabs always open. One is my homepage and the other is another page that I have bookmarked. I do not know why this happens or how to fix it.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== first installed

Do you have both those pages set as your Homepages?

You can take screenshots of the parts of the conversations you want to save and keep the photos, or you can use 3rd party software such as PhoneView (Mac only) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac) to save the entire conversations to your computer.

HT1725 I purchased several books from itunes and on my iphone it shows the book cover, but I cannot open them. There is a solid black line on each cover. Any suggestions?

I purchased several books but on itunes but cannot open them on my iphone 4S. I purchased one without problem. However, the next several appear in my library but have a solid black line on the cover as though they haven't downloaded. When I check my itunes account for possible downloads, it shows everything has been done. Any suggestions?

Could you take a screenshot of this line?
Press home and sleep button at the same time I believe.

Using Lion. Stamped a project with metadata and all the first pictures in a stack are now square when they were not before. Any ideas how to get them back to their original shape?

I created the metadata for a project and lifted the metadata, hit Command A to select over 1000 photos and stamed the entire project. It rated all the pics with 3 stars and made them all square. Clearly not my intent. Can't seem to undo. Any ideas?

Let's start with this: do they all show that they have a Crop adjustment applied?
Are they square in both the Browser and the Viewer?

Why does the Firefox home page keep telling me I'm up to date when I'm not?

The Firefox home page, found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/ or by redirection from www.mozilla.com or www.firefox.com, tells me my version of Firefox is up to date. It isn't.
I'm currently running 11.0 (and should have 12.0) but this has been happening for quite some time now; that page just seems to always say you're up to date, no matter what.

It's a web site bug. It's been reported as #748741.
To update manually,
# Click the '''Firefox button'''.
# Open the '''Help''' menu and choose '''About Firefox'''.
# Click the '''Check for Updates''' button.

Hello, sadly Apple pays more attention to iDevices Mail than Mail for Macs.
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
