    Select them in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and clear the Locked box.

  • Trash icon in console is not highlighted and I cannot move to trash a huge file

    In Console I have a huge file that I cannot move to trash because the trash icon is not highlighted and I cannot highlight any messages.
    Help.

    Hi Niel:
    This solved my problem.  It took hours to empty the trash but eventually the problem was solved and I now have tons of room on my drive.  It seems that there were thousands of error messages in the console file from an application that I had downloaded a while back.  Thanks a lot for your help. 

  • [Gnome 3] Cannot Move To trash

    This is a fresh arch install with gnome 3. I have an issue where I cannot move any files to the trash. Everytime it just says "cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?"

  • Cannot move or trash items because "in use" - Need an "apply to all" option

    In manually transferring items on my MacBook to my external hard drive I accidentally dropped the items into the desktop folder. I have everything backed-up properly on my external hard drive now. I attempted to move all of the items to the trash. I am prompted with "these items are in use and cannot be trashed - stop or continue." Continue works and I can throw them into the the trash. The problem -- THERE ARE 8,722 items!!! It is making me hit continue for each item. I cannot push continue 8,722 times. I need an "apply to all" button, but it doesn't offer me that.  Is there another solution?

    Try disconnecting the external drive and restarting your Macbook. That might solve your problem of not being able to do a bulk trash drop and empty.

  • Deleting in mail on iPad cannot move to trash, Deleting in mail on iPad cannot move to trash

    When using an imap account on mail on iPad, when  delete a message out of the inbox I get a message saying that the item cannot be moved to trash. Why? And how do I get around this please?
    Mark

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If the above don't fix it the try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, 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.

  • Cannot move file to trash

    Running 10.7.3 on a Macbook Air
    Running Firefox browser
    I have two files associated with a partial download.  I cannot move to trash, and cannot rename.
    Any suggestions?

    First thing I would try is simply relaunch your Finder.

  • Cannot uninstall/move to trash

    I am unable to uninstall/move to trash a program ("Voodler", for movies).
    When I try to uninstall the program, I get a message that reads: "cannot move to trash because the program is in use/open". But it is not in use/open.
    How to uninstall the program? Force uninstall?

    Check Activity Monitor if a component of the app is still running (daemon or helper).
    Then log out/back in or restart.
    3rd party uninstallers such as CleanApp may also proof useful.
    If "Voodler" installed using an installer, check the developer's site for an uninstaller (you should go there in any case for tips on how to remove the application completely).

  • Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

    Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working.
    I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
    Thanks, Rick

    The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full.  You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
    A -36 error is a read/write error.
    All you did with the power is reset the SMC.  Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings. 
    Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
    Is your data backed up?

  • Why does Mail say that I cannot move items to the trash????

    I cannot delete email the "normal" way. When I set up my POP account, it created a second trash folder with the same name as my mail account. There are thus two folders in my Trash can - "On My Mac" and the one named after my email account. When I try to delete any mail it says that I cannot move anything to the Trash folder for my Mail account. I have to DRAG all email I wish to delete to the "On My Mac" Trash folder. ????????
    I just want to be able to click delete and have email go away! Why is this not working?
    Thanks.

    Select the mailbox you wish to correct, then select "Mailbox > Rebuild"
    Then do a PRAM reset:
    PRAM RESET
    Zap the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • When I use my Delete key to delete a song, I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" button, and so i need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
    tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.
