Deleted files from iTunes not showing in Trash Can

Hi there,
I am experiencing a problem where if I delete a track or podcast from iTunes and select the option Move to Trash, it does not show up in my Trash Can on the dock unless I open TC in Finder. Only then the TC logo on the dock shows that TC is not empty. Is this something that only I am experiencing? Any help to explain why this is and how to remedy it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
DeMarHc

I have found that if I delete files from iTunes, I don't see paper showing in the trash indicating that something is there, but if I click the icon for the trash, the paper will suddenly appear...and opening the folder to view what's in the trash shows that the deleted song is, indeed, there.

Can't delete files from iTunes File Sharing

iPad, IOS 8.1.3
MacBook Pro Retina, OS 10.10.2
iTunes, v12.1
I'm trying to delete files from iTunes. In this instance, I have files I made in Pages, via my iPad, I have learned how to move them to my computer without using iCloud, which I prefer. Now I can't get them off of the iTunes app on my computer.
I have deleted them from my iPad and from my computer but they are still in the iTunes app on my computer. To see these one must plug the iPad into the computer. When iTunes, on the computer, opens, choose Apps from the side bar, (under settings), scroll down to File Sharing, pick the app, in this case Pages and there is a list of all the files, (docs), still on the computer, within iTunes.
If i drag one of the files to the desk top on my computer and clic on it it will open. This is true for any of the apps under File Sharing.
This seems very insecure to me and it also appears to take up space on my iPad.
Anyone know how to get rid of these files?

Hi,
I had an orhpanded link to a networkshare which does not exist anymore. With the "cmd" key pressed down I was able to dump the favorite to the trash.
Thank you.
Cheers

HT1766 If I have accidently deleted my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop, can I get them back from my iPad which was synced just before I deleted all the files?

I accidently deletes all my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop. Can I get them back using my iPad mini Retina that was synced just before I deleted the files? I am a bit old fashioned, so all of my music has been imported from my CD,s, not purchased from iTunes store. I could re-import, but almost 5,000 songs. Especially when they are sitting there on the iPad.

Yes, if they were purchased from iTunes. If they were CD's you copied to your iTunes library, then synced to your iPad, you may be forced to redownload the CDs again.
Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and with iTunes open wait for your iPad to recognized on the left side of the iTunes screen. Right click your iPad once and a dialog box will apear. Choose Transfer Purchases and the music apps, etc., you purchased will transfer to your iTunes library on your computer.

Music purchased from iTunes not showing up on Purchased playlist on iPhone

The last few song purchases that I've made on iTunes are not showing on my Purchased playlist on my iPhone. I do have Automatica Downloads turned on under the iTunes & App Stores settings on my iPhone. I've tried signing out and signing in again on both my iPhone and computer. I've also tried manually dragging the songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone through iTunes, but I'm when I click and drag the files from iTunes to the devices list, iTunes does not allow the songs to be moved to my iPhone. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue. Try this: go into iTunes, select your iPhone, go to Ringtones tab, check the Sync seclected Ringtones, deselect the ringtones that you pruchansed from iTunes Store. Now Apply/Sync the phone. When it's done, Go back to the Ringtones tab and select Sync all Ringtones. Apply/Sync the phone again. Now go to a contact and set a ringtone, you should see all the purchased ringtones. Good luck.

I can't send deleted files from i movie to the trash and delete them.

I can't delete files. I bought a Lacie big quadra 4T and allmy project are saved there (mode raid1). When I’m trying to delete files theydoesn’t go to the trash bin but they are not longer in I movie. Apparently they are still in the hard drive using space.How can I delete them or send them to the trash bin of my Macbook Pro?

Okay I had the same problem but I figured it out. When you go to choose file, all the links are greyed out. Use two fingers simulatiously and click down on the file you want, then choose "quick look" from the option menu. This will open a preview of your document and make the open button usable. Close the preview, and then select the open button.
The site I was trying to use says it only supports IE, so maybe that is what causes the problem.
Hope it works for you!

When I delete a file it does not show in trash-why?

When I delete a file I am not challenged for my password, I just have to click the Delete box on the pop up asking me if I'm sure I want to delete the file. The file disappers and there is nothing in the Trash???? Disk permissions seem to be fine.
27" iMac running OS X 10.8.4.
Weird.
Any suggestions?

Apparently the permissions in my Home folder weren't set correctly. Trash is now working correctly.

Why do Deleted files suddenly no longer show in Trash as they used to do

This morning I deleted an e-mail and then realised I needed some information from it. I naturally expected it to end up in the Trash folder as always, but when I opened the Trash none of my deleted files are there. I do not have 'empty on exit' set. I am using Thunderbird 31.4, on Windows 7 Professional. I have restarted both Thunderbird and Windows but to no avail. I have not changed any of my account settings or any of the options. This has not happened before. Any help would be welcome.

Thank you for all your efforts. As I said, I'm afraid the first link led to an item in Swedish (I think), which was just a single line and not recognisable as anything I knew. Your second link led to an item in English (thanks), and showed a page from 'settings'. I had not set settings to 'Empty on exit', or anything similar elsewhere, which might have been what you were suggesting I look at.
Since then, as foreshadowed, I have done an uninstall and reinstall and all is now well. I can only surmise that Thunderbird somehow became corrupt. Otherwise it's a mystery. Still a bit of a bother though, as I dislike not knowing why things happen.
Thank you again.

Delete file from iTunes Library and Computer

I convert a lot of my own TV shows for playback on iPad/iPod touch. Once I have watched the show I delete it from my library.
It used to be that when I deleted from my library, I would get a message asking if I wanted to delete from library only or from library AND computer. It does not ask me this anymore.
I went into preferences and clicked on "reset all warnings" but that didn't fix the problem. Any tips on how to restore this functionality?

What I mean is I don't want an extra copy of the file made when I add something to my library. I already have the file where I want it.
I did try your suggestion, and just as I suspected, it made an extra copy in a different location on my computer, then when I deleted it, yes, it asked me if I wanted to move it to the recycle bin, but it only deleted the copy, not the original.
I'm marking your response as helpful, as I can use it as a workaround if I can't find a better solution, but I have never done it this way before. I've always had full control over which folders my shows were in, and only one copy. And when I've deleted, it has deleted the original file, not just a copy of it.

How can I Delete files from LTR5 to move to Trash On OS 10.8.4?

my set up is
mac 0s 10.8.4 using mac book pro 2.7 GHZ with 16GB having Lacie usb 3 thunderbolt external drive storing photos and LTR 5 catalogue to do my LTR processing of 24 mg files from D600 SLR
I have the LTR5 installed and am using it only to find out cannot move file(s) to Trashcan( MAC latest version) that doesn’t support the volume I have the photo files in. LTR5 only will permanently delete them via LTR5 only . Its an annoying step to rid the file – Is this a Bug? LTR 4 moves file(s) directly to Trash with no issues. The other LTR versions had no problem .
I don’t recall LTR5Beta having this issue when trying to move file to trash. I was beta tester .
LTR dialogue also says , file could not be moved to Trash folder as volume isnt supported . I have checked all preference panes to see if i can open up the trash to LTR5 discarded Files from my lacie drive where they are stored . Often I'll move files to trash then retrieve later from trash to import back into catalogue.
It was suggested trying new “test” catalogue .So. I created new catalogue which acted same way; failure to move files to trash.
As result , I have created a ” new” Trash folder within LTR5 to move discarded Files into temporary holding space; then, empty the folder contents within LTR5 as needed.
It’s awkward , inefficient . But, it is a temporary solution in holding files until its decided to permanently delete files. This is a short term solution till Issue is corrected.
Does anyone else have this problem? Suggestions?

Thank you for sharing this thread #Post 31. Ill try permissions tweaking and see of that works .
This was a first for me being a beta tester for LTR5 . I do wonder when I bought the upgrade and Downloaded LTR5 that bug appeared beacuse of being a beta tester .
Trying to rule out all sorts of things here :
Wonder if doing a an uninstall and doing a reinstall will help? Would it be a realistic painless step?
Yesterday I worked on LTR editing files from Hard drive many hours with bug active .
Then all of sudden it was working ( Th1s is 3rd time its happened). If I close LTR5 then reopen later bug appears again. I cant yet isolate the cause for files to move and be trashed normallly! Earlier I have trashed prefs . Also,creating test catalogues didnt work . Tried other older drives; that failed. Will try internal drive.
LTR 4 and earlier was bugfree so this is first time i have encountered a stubborn bug . Its as bad as mosquitoes buzzing.
Wonder if the reinstall is best guaranteed solution other than uncheck my permissions.?
I really appreciate the info from thread 31. Thank you .
I'll get the bug booted.

I've uploaded my pics to my PC but now I can't delete them from the iPad, the little trash can does NOT appear, PLEASE HELP I have over 6000 photos I need to delete

I've uploaded my pics to my PC but now I can't delete them from the iPad, PLEASE HELP the little trash can does NOT appear

That's because you can't delete it directly from the phone.
Since you synced not imported those pictures to your iphone using iTunes, you will need to do the opposite and unsync the pictures, in order to remove it from your phone.

Podcasts sync'd from iTunes not showing up in Podcast app

Another question from the iOS 6 upgrade ... I know there is a Podcasts app that you need for playing Podcasts in iOS 6 rather than in the Music app.
The problem is, the podcasts I subscribe to in iTunes on my PC are not showing up in the Podcasts app in iOS 6.
iTunes says they are sync'd to this phone, but they do not show up anywhere at all...
Ideas? Similar experiences? Any insight appreciated.
Thx
Terry

For what it's worth I just started with a clean slate (restored the phone to base iOS6) and all is magically well again.

Delete files from itunes library?

after you've loaded a bunch of songs onto your ipod, will it affect your ipod if you delete them from the itunes library?

If you manually control your ipod you shouldn't lose the songs but if it is set to sync, you will
I have my ipod set to manual since it connects to more than one computer in the house to access songs.

Delete files from computer - not allowed, file in use

Using firefox to upload files online, being this a simple pdf document or a video file, prevents me from deleting the file from my hard drive, once the process is completed. Once I quit the web browser, deleting the file is possible. It looks like firefox is keeping the link to a file in constant use even after the website at which the file was used is no longer opened. Am I missing some something in firefox's properties settings?

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

How can I delete files from iTunes AND my hard drive? It used to be very obvious in iTunes but I no longer see that option.

I used to easily be able to delete songs from my hard drive and library through iTunes but I no longer see that option. Is there a way to do that or a workaround of some kind?

Are these songs in the iTunes media folder shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced?
Only songs in this location will be deleted from the HD when delting from iTunes.
Also, iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Click Reset Warnings.
If you are deleting from a playlist, it will only delete from that playlist.
Hold Shift and press Delete to remove from the playlist and from the library.
