Problems with trash OSX Lion

Hi,
Whenever I try and put something in the trash can, it automatically deletes without being put into the trash. I've run a few terminal commands and discovered that, my trash directory is missing, does anyone know how to create a new one?
Thanks

What was the terminal command you used? I'm trying to create a new .Trash but nothing is working for me. Somehow my .Trash got totally deleted.

Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

I just bought the 17" MacBookPro the other day with Lion preinstalled and wanted to install Lion on my iMac. It makes sense that I should be able to upgrade for free you spend all this money on Apple products, give us apple supporters a break. Maybe this is something that Apple overlooked and in the future there will be a fix.
I read up on forums and I finally called AppleCare they said that I should be able to install Lion on 5 other computers but only if purchased in the store, this doesn't make any sense. I feel like I already purchased a copy and that copy should be able to be installed on another computer. It should be as simple as logging in app store with the same apple ID and it be there to install on my iMac. If apple is trying to make everything user friendly, device syncying and convenient well it's not; this is just something they think of. I refuse to pay $30 for another copy. Fix this issue APPPLE!!!
Because if those who bought computers in July that didn't have Lion preinstalled can obtain a free copy to install in 5 computers. I should be able to do the same with the Lion that I bought preinstalled it's just make sense to me.

Help with installing OSX Lion on iMac with broken display

Hi,
Having some trouble installing OSX Lion on my 5 year old iMac which has a broken display.
The display has been dead for a couple of years now and I've been using an external monitor without any problems. Today I decided to upgrade to Lion - I downloaded the installer from the App Store and started the install which rebooted the machine. After reboot I'm presented with a grey 'thatched' background image on the external display and nothing else, no menu bar, installation menu etc.
I presume the internal display is showing the menu I need but I can't see it as that screen is broken. Is there a way to turn on mirroring during the install process so I can use my external display? I've tried various shortcuts held down during startup - OPTION-F14, CMD-F1, CMD-F2 - but none have worked.
If this isn't possible, is there a way to abort the Lion install process and go back to using my Snow Leopard install? Whenever I boot the machine I am taken to the OS X Lion installer and don't know how to get back to my Snow Leopard install. I tried holding down OPTION key on startup to choose the list of available OS installs, but again, the internal display is being used so I can't see what to do.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Genius idea, thank you. Was able to step through the install procedure using voiceover and the screenshots on this page http://www.macstories.net/mac/os-x-lion-installation-guide-boot-discs-and-qa/
Definitely a first for me, installing an OS with voice only

Is anyone facing problems with quicktime on lion???

I recently upgraded my macbook pro to lion osx and the problems keep showing up one by one... quicktime is the worst. it has literally stopped functioning! at first, there was this problem with audio and video not being synched; and then it got worse and was totally playing the videos without any audio track and now, after a week or so, the app is not working AT ALL!!!
I hit "play", the icon changes to "pause" as in : "i'm playing the video!" and then it stops and NOTHING HAPPENS. and it's not about the format of the videos either. i treid .wmv (which was working btw), .avi or .mov (made by imovies for crying out loud!)...
when its photoshop being slow and laggy, you can blame adobe! but isn't quicktime supposed to be the "official" apple player??? am heavily disappointed apple!

Sleeping problem with OS X Lion?

I have a new 15 inch Macbook Pro that shipped with Lion which has recently succumbed to a sleeping problem. When I have the computer plugged in to the wall outlet for charging, and I close the lid, it goes to sleep, but the sleep light stays on solid; it does not blink/fade on and off. Then, under these same circumstances, when I open the lid, I see my login screen for about 1.5 seconds and then the screen goes black. If I click the F1 button to turn the screen brightness down, the login screen returns, and I can login and use the computer as normal with no issues. If I unplug the MagSafe charger and allow the computer to run on its battery, none of these issues occur.
AND all of the Energy Saver preferences are set to the default, and all sharing is disabled.
All help is sincerely appreciated,
Jake

I have the exact same issue! I'm so glad it isn't just me having this problem ..
I also have a 15 inch Macbook Pro with OSX Lion.
I really don't know whether it's a new feature of Lion or a bug.
Sleep mode seems to be disabled while charging ...
If you put the Macbook Pro to sleep with the magsafe adapter plugged in, it won't go to sleep. You can still hear the fans running, and the light won't blink, as you indicated. When you open the lid again, the screen lights up for a few seconds, then turns black. I haven't tried the F1 key, but I do know the screen comes back when you unplug the adapter ...
And it's getting even stranger: when you close the lid with the magsafe adapter plugged in, my MBP won't go to sleep. But when you plug out the adapter while still having the lid closed, my MBP WILL go to sleep. When you plug the adapter back in while sleeping, it will still keep asleep but the battery WON'T charge, although the adapter 's connected (the light is green while it should be orange, since the battery is not fully charged).
None of these issues occur when you put the MBP to sleep without the power adapter connected; it goes to sleep seamlessly.
It seems to me that this could be a bug, but it could also be an extra safety feature of apple ..
Maybe they wanted to protect the battery this way? I hear a lot of people say it's bad to keep for your battery to keep your laptop plugged in all time, although I doubt it.
Someone who knows more about this, or has a fix for this 'bug' ?

Problems with recent Mt. Lion update? October

I'm having a lot of weird issues since running a software update. I'm on a 11-inch MacBook Air, purchased in August 2012, running 10.8.2. I ran the Mt. Lion software update and ever since then I've had the following issues:
- Cannot empty trash. I've tried secure empty trash, holding down alt/option and secure empty trash, repairing disk permissions and restarting. Nothing. I get the error:
"The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
- Wireless network connections timing out. This is happening at home and at work.
- Google account-related things not working. I opened iCal and was prompted to deal with a certificate that was invalid. I thought maybe it was an application-specific password thing. I couldn't get the certificate info window to stop popping up. Ended up having to force quit.
- Fantastical is also prompting me for my two Google account passwords, but when I enter them I get an error code. Error 1. I've e-mailed Flexibits about this issue.
- Being prompted by all apps to access my keychain, sometimes more than once. I guess after the update it forced all my apps to prompt me for new permissions. This is more annoying than anything else.
Overall I'm still able to use my machine, but not in the seamless way I was prior to this update. Anyone having problems with this? Or know of a fix? I'm calling Apple later today to see if they have some ideas. Thanks for your help!

Sounds like your home folder permissions are out of whack.
Open Terminal and paste this command:
sudo chown -R `id -un` ~
Put in your password and press 'return'.
Wait till it finishes, it might take a while. Restart the computer and test.

The Quick Answer
Follow the instructions below to set up IMAP1 access in most email clients.
Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option? The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED. Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right? Port 993 can use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe. Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD. Should I have used external client cert TLS?
Please help me set this up securely. Thanks
