Can't delete pic - will let me edit but only if I duplicate the pic first

I want to delete a photo from my iPhone 6. When I click on the photo it will give me the option to edit (there is no trash or option to delete) but when I try to delete it, I get a message: "You can not edit this pic. Would you like to duplicate it and edit the copy?

I'm guessing that Finder keeps .trash open to know wether or not files have been added to it and update the Dock icon, right?No.
The visible 'Trash' you see in the finder is the union of all your trash folders. Each volume (potentially) contains a /.Trashes/ folder at its root level. Within that there are folders with UIDs as their name, 501 being the first 'normal user' and 0 being root. Your "/.Trashes/502" means you were booted from another volume at some time. However, that trash folder is empty, as you correctly deduced.
Your "123 bytes .. /Users/name/.Trash" is not empty, however, because of the size. "123" is not a valid size, either (must be a multiple of 34). So you have directory problems on your hard disk—you need to fix that with Disk Repair, from Disk Utility while booted from your Install disk: see Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance.
You will probably see an "Invalid Link Count" message, hopefully this is not so serious that Disk Utility can't repair it, but let us know.

I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
Start again but copy files in small amounts.

You cannot delete the account from the server (partly to prevent the username from becoming available again and some-one else using it to pretend to be you).. Having disengaged your devices from it, go to http://icloud.com and delete any data in there such as contacts and calendars. Then just ignore it.

On iPhoto, I can no longer access the 'Classic' option which would lay out my photos on the page. It will send them as attachments only. I need the page layout for my work. Any thoughts as to why this has changed?

On iPhoto, I can no longer access the 'Classic' option which would lay out my photos on the page. It will send them as attachments only. I need the page layout for my work. Any thoughts as to why this has changed? It used to fully lay out the photos so I could add notes and detailed information before I sent them. I am thinking it is something simple that I have just missed...

The "Photos" view has been replaced by the Media Browser.
Most applications will show you the Photos icon in the Sidebar, when you need to select photos in a file chooser dialoge. Mail, Safari, the iWork apps. See Terence Devlin's User Tip: How to Access Files in iPhoto
For example, in the File > Open dialogue in Preview I am seeing this in the sidebar.

I can see the pictures in Events in iPhoto, but I can't open them. When I right click on an Event it just says Edit, but won't open all the pictures in Events. It used to open, but something is wrong. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi Terence,
I got your note and was able to complete the first part, but when I came to Finder, Go To Folder and I typed in both /var/db/receipts/ and /private/var/db/receipts all I get is NOT FOUND message. I tried several times, but no luck.
Please advise.
Thank you.

My laptop was stolen lately with iCloud activated on it. I realize that i can remotely wipe it using find my phone but I really doubt that the thief will go online. So is there a way to stop that laptop from getting my iCloud updates? Please help.

How can I find out the IP's that are connected to my icloud. That lack of information who is connected to your icloud is not qool . Sorry for my english.

Which way are you swiping across its track name ? On iOS 7 you need to swipe from right to left, which should reveal a Delete button on its right-hand end

Help! Installed CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appeared!

Hi! I recently installed the CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appears in 'Applications.' A lot of the files associated with Photoshop and In Design are on the computer, but not the programs themselves. I wonder if this has to do with the fact I downloaded trial versions of Photoshop and In Design, but deleted them when I was ready to install CS4. They are no longer in trash.
Thank you.

If you deleted them by simply dragging them to the trash, then yes, that
would explain it. Those application need to be uninstalled, not trashed.

Hi,

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

Is this true? "iTunes 7 will do CD-Text, but only with certain models of CD

My friend told me the following. Is this true?
"iTunes 7 will do CD-Text, but only with certain models of CD burners."

Probably not - although this comes only from personal experiance and not any technical knowlage. I always purchase cd's based on conviniance and not brand. Also spend my life between Europe and North America and have never encontered any cd that would not work - aside occasional lemons.
Hope this helps - just remember this is an experiance based reply.

We use Embarqmail from CenturyLink on our home computer. We can get to our email on our iPod, but we have trouble opening the mail. When we tap on an email, sometimes they open; most often they don't. Is there a solution?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Can't delete pics!

Hi--- I'm trying to delete photos on my iPad but after I check them to delete-- the delete button doesn't work-- any suggestions would help!!
Thanks

If you are syncing certain albums from iPhoto or Aperture to your iPad, then the contents of those albums can ONLY be changed on the host computer via iPhoto or Aperture.
However, any photos you download via e-mail, save from the Internet, or transfer to the device from a digital camera, are loaded into the "camera roll" and thus are not "albums" or "Events" as the Photos app calls them.
Think of the camera roll as an editable temporary album. The camera roll will let you delete pictures and videos from it. This behavior is the same on the iPhone and it confused the heck out of me at first as well.
It should also be noted that the only way to remove an "Event" from your iOS device is through iTunes, by telling iTunes to no longer sync that "Event".
Let us hope that a future release at least allows us to remove an "Event" from the photos app on the device in the future.
Until then, I hope this helps a little to understand what is happening.
