Can't move pictures to trash

I can't move pictures to the trash (in the Source side-bar). It's like the Trash 'album' is readonly.
When I try to move pictures to the trash by dragging & dropping, the picture(s) disappear from the album but nothing shows up in the trash. BTW, the green + circle disappears when I hover over the Trash.
When I try to move pictures to the trash using the delete key, the picture(s) disappear from the album but nothing shows up in the trash.
After either of these actions, the 'Empty Trash' remains grayed out and the pictures remain in the library. I've tried rebuilding my library (with all options checked), but this doesn't help.

Hi there,
It will only remove the photo from the album.
You will need to find original photo in your library and delete this. It will then delete the photo in library as well as the copy in any album. When sure, you should be able to empty trash...

    Suddenly I can't move files to trash, whe I try to drag them to it there is a cirle with a diagonal line across. HELP!

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • I can't move emails to trash...I read comments

    I can't move emails to trash...instructions on support say go to "advanced"--my ipad doesn't have any advanced on it?

    Where are you looking for it ? If you go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the email account on the right-hand side of that screen, and then tap the Account line (with your email account name and an arrow to the right of it) at the top of the that screen. Then tap Advanced at the bottom of the next screen, then Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • Can I move pictures from one month to another?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to compose a calendar (easier said than done...) and I was wondering: if I have, say, March with certain photos, can I move them to, say, June? For now I am doing it all by hand which is a bit of a nuisance as I have discard what I have already chosen and pick up the "new" photos from a rather long list (thank goodness I have a shorter list of tagged photos).
    I don't know why, but it seems that the "compose calendar" option falls short in some basic things which I wouldn't have thought were rocket science...

    Hi TD,
    I don't think what you say works... I can drag a picture from a month to the side bar (where it gets "lost" amidst all the others) and from the side bar to another month, but I don't see how I can move/drag them from one month to another bypassing the side bar altogether.
    Cheers,

  • How can i move pictures from the phone to the pc?

    How do I move pictures from my cell phone to my PC?

    Do you get an error when transferring, or do you not see the card/phone show up in a file manager/My Computer?  Do you have the updated drivers for USB from Samsung?
    If all of this is fine, can you not cut and paste or drag and drop from the phone/card to a folder?

  • Can't move pictures in Photobook

    I just upgraded to iphoto '11 and am making a new photobook. The problem is that I can't manually move pictures from the photo pane onto a photobook page, between frames on a page, or between pages of my photobook.  Before I upgraded I could do this without any problems. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for posting back, Wheaton.

  • [SOLVED] Can't move files to trash in my ext-4 partition

    Hi,
    I know that it must have a silly solution but I cannot make it work. I've searched in the forum but I haven't found exactly the same issue.
    My HDD has an ext-4 partition for /, a swap partition and another ext-4 partition called "Archivos" for my files (not home, home is just as a folder in / ).
    I can make files and folders in the Archivos partition but when I try to move them to the trash in pcmanfm it says that files can't be moved to trash and if do I want to erase them instead.
    At boot time the Archivos partition is mounted in fstab with these options:
    UUID=bb8eb4ea-5b9c-4275-bad3-f64bcf581e1d /run/media/vane/Archivos ext4 rw,relatime 0 2
    I've tried to add uid=1000 (my user id) after rw,relatime but I get a message at booting that says "uid=1000 option is not recognized" and stops booting.
    What can I do in order to get the trash can work in the Archivos ext-4 partition?

    Maaaaaaannnn (or woman, I don't know ), hahaha! What a silly solution!!! And I got it right first time. I can't believe that this could have a solution as easy as this one. In fact this should not impress me too much since the first sentence I wrote in this thread was "I know that it must have a silly solution but..." hahaha.
    Since it's not the computer I use to use I already forgot about this after such a long time. Just tried and worked perfectly.

  • Aperture can't move files to trash

    My photos are on networked external hard drive, and I have the folder on the drive mounted. However, when I try to delete a photo from this drive within Aperture, I get a message saying "Cannot Move Files to Trash" "You don't have access to the Trash on the master files' volume."
    But if I go to that file via finder, I have no trouble deleting it. And getting the info for that volume shows I have read/write privileges.
    Any suggestions on how Aperture can gain access to the trash on this volume?
    Thanks,

    It doesn't sound like it's an issue with the files themselves, but rather with the trash.
    I haven't seen it, but I can see how that could occur. Each volume tends to have its own Trash folder. It's hidden, typically called .Trashes and at the root of the hard drive. I have had Trash-related issues outside of Aperture in the past (likely of my own doing). The issue with problems like these it it's nigh impossible to establish cause and effect… you could do something and not notice the problem for days or even weeks, in a completely un-related way.
    I doubt that "Repair Permissions" is responsible for the fix, unless the files were on your boot volume. RP has no effect outside of a boot volume.

  • I can't move files to trash

    I can't move files to the trash without the finder wanting an administrator password and then the file is immediately deleted.  This just strarted a few days ago.

    Click once on the hard drive icon - top right - and type command + i (both keys together).
    This is the bottom half of what you will see:
    1. Click the padlock and authenticate with your password.
    2. Your Name should have the Privilege to Read and Write. If it does not click on whatever is there, and change it.
    3. Click on the gear wheel and select "Apply to enclosed items".
    There will be a message, say OK, and let it continue. This will take some time.
