Can't Delete to Trash with LR5.6 and iMac 10.9.5

I have used LR since version 1.  My main catalog is still LR 4.4 but I have downloaded the 5.6 CC trial with a view to updating but have run into a problem.   If I try to delete a photo from within a LR 5.6 catalog by pressing the delete key and clicking on "move to trash" an error message comes up saying that the volume does not support Trash.  It does offer the option to permanently delete the photo which works OK.
Alll photos and the catalog are stored on an external disk connected to the iMac via Firewire 800.  That disk is not networked and not shared with any other computer.  It is formatted as Mac Extended Journaled.  The permissions for that disk are all Read/Write (the problem persists whether or not the "ignore ownership" checkbox is checked or unchecked).  I have repaired the disk using Disk Utility and repaired Disk Permissions on the startup disk, I have also experimented with moving the LR catalog to the startup disk.  None of this helps - I still cannot move a photo from my catalog to the Trash but I can permanently delete it.
I have had no problems with this disk and can move photos to the trash from my LR 4.4 catalog and every other program and from the OS.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hello
I've tried this, along with numerous other fixes on the forums and nothing seems to help. Running the latest version of LR (5.7) and Yosemite.  It was not an issue before I upgraded to Yosemite though. I deleted files regularly using the typical tools/commands in LR with no problem at all.  Most of the fixes have focused on problems with external hard drives but the files I am trying to delete are all on my hard drive. I also checked to be sure permissions were Read & Write on the main Adobe folder as well as the Lightroom folder in the finder.

    How can I delete a primary e-mail address and replace it with a excisting Apple ID?

    An email address can only be used one account at a time, so if you want to replace it with an email address that is currently being used on another account then you will need to remove it from that account first before trying to put it on that account. You should be able to change the email address either by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • How can I delete EVERY THING off my Mac and have it like new?

    There are sites that I've viewed and programs I have downloaded that I NEED to delete completely from my computer!! Ie: Friends telling me that a program is free and has no viruses, but it does! Sites forwarded that are supposed sfw, but are not!!
    I would like to DELETE EVERY THING off the computer and have it be like new.
    I remember on my Dell PC if I hit f8 or f11 (can't remember which one) a screen would appear and if I chose option "Dell Factory Image Restore" it would DELETE EVERY THING off of the computer and have it like new - as if you just got it from Dell.
    Is there anything like that for Macs?
    Whether it be some where on the computer already?
    Or if it's with the CDs that came with the Mac?

  • Can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

  • If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    Thank you
    I realize they are separate
    I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
    Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
    Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
    I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
    Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself??

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

    Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

    Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
    Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

    Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.
