Why don't items I put in the trash appear in the trash?

Sometimes items it put in the trash don't appear in the trash, although they are there. This often happens when I manually delete podcasts from iTunes, or drag an item such as a PDF from my downloads folder to the trash. The dock icon remains in it's "empty" state and bring up the trash finder window also shows that it is empty. If I restart my MacBook however, the items appear in the trash and are able to be deleted. Odd.

I'm having a similar problem - I'm importing pictures to iPhoto and I've deleted a couple of them but they don't appear in my Trash folder (which is on my Dock). Now it's possible that I'm being a bit dumb and missing something very obvious but I've read through this article and I don't see how it addresses the issue.
I'd really be grateful if some-one could explain to me in plain English why I can't see deleted files in my Trash folder and how I can rememdy that.
Thank you,
For photos deleted from iPhoto, you need to empty the iPhoto trash under file while the iPhoto App is open.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password. I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes. Please help.

Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied? Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

Iphotos were put in the trash by mistake. How do I retrieve them?

Over 1700 images including photos were put in the trash by mistake. How do I undo or retrieve them?

Best solution is to restore your backup - this is exactly why you must always have a good one
Short of that you will have to start over (unless your can restore each file to its exact location prior to being deleted - probalby not possible) - drag the currently bad library to the desktop until yo finish just in case you need something from it, depress the option key and launch iPhoto and create a new library - drag the largest version of each photo to the iPhoto icon in the dock to import it

I delete emails by putting them in trash. I have even deleted all mail. It all reappears no matter what I try! The mail icon shows I have thousands of emails and I can't get rid of them! Please help!!

I asked a question about deleting deleted emails but after trying to delete all mail, it said no mail but it still keeps reappearing. The mail icon on the main screen says I have thousands of emails. I've rebooted, hit the trash one by one but they still come back! I'm going nuts!

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

IPhoto Library accidentally put in the trash

My husband somehow accidentally put our iphoto library in the trash --don't ask, somehow it happened. The good news is that we haven't emptied the trash so the photos are still there, but I need to know where to move them. We had been getting this message: "Your iPhoto Library was not found. Do you want to find your library? iPhoto can't continue without Photo Library. Make sure disk containing your Photo Library is connected." It gave us the options of 'creating library', 'choosing library' or 'quit.' We just figured out that it was in the trash so now my question is where do we move the library to? I don't want to select 'choose library' and then have it retrieve from the trash since once day we will empty the trash. Where does the library belong? I'm not that computer savvy but I am a devoted iphoto user. Please let me know what's the best way to do this. Thank you very much.

hi flip,
Drag the entire iPhoto Library folder out of the trash and drag it in into your users Picture folder. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library just like nothing ever happened.

How do you recover files that were put in the trash before you emptied your trash?

Before realizing that I had saved my research paper under downloads rather than documents, I put all my downloaded files in the trash and emptied my trash. How can I recover this file? I appreciate all the help I can get! I have spent the last five hours editing this paper :/

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the file is recovered or you choose not to recover it.

There are several ways. The two easiest are to click the Junk icon to turn it off or right click the message and select Mart As-Not Junk.

Why are my deleted emails only staying in the trash folder for a month? How can I find older deleted emails?

my trash folder is only showing emails back to April 28th.

Does the account use POP, or IMAP?
If IMAP, your Trash folder is almost certainly on the server and as such, may be subject to the email provider's policy on trash/deleted folders.
Check what your provider's rules are on trash retention. You may be permitted to adjust the period for which they are held. Alternatively you can set Thunderbird to use a trash folder under your Local Folders account which will be on your own hard disk and thus invisible to your email provider.
And of course check the settings in Thunderbird for what to do with deleted messages. You can set it to automatically remove messages after a defined period. Look under Tools|Account Settings for deletion settings.
OTOH, if you're routinely deleting messages and relying on them being kept indefinitely, I'd suggest you rethink your procedure and not delete them until you're confident you no longer need them. Recycle bins, waste bins and the like are the first to go when disk space gets tight. Most email providers have a policy of automatically removing messages over a certain age from the Deleted folder, specifically to manage and reduce disk space usage.

I am not sure if I changed any settings but our of no where I no longer able to "trash" any email. I tap the trash can but the email reamin in the in box

I am not sure if I accidently changed any settings but out of no where I am no longer able to "trash" any email from my comcast inbox. When I tap the trash can the email remain in the inbox.

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

How do I recover external drive folders put in the trash using another comp

Using a different computer than my own, I moved folders from an external firewire disk to the trash - but did not empty the trash. I'm now using the external disk with my own computer and would like to permanently delete those files (e.g. empty the trash). However, I cannot view those folders in the trash on my own computer. It is not convenient for me to take my external drive back to the other computer. Without being able to empty those folders from the trash, I cannot recover that space (40Gig) occupied by those folder on the external hard drive.
Is there a way to "empty trash" those files so that I can recover that disk space.

Hi, barleycor. Welcome to the Discussions.
Here are the detailed instructions you need to remove the files trashed when the FireWire drive was connected to another computer.
The Trash on a FireWire drive is actually in a series of folders within the hidden and invisible directory:
/Volumes/partition_name/.Trashes
where partition_name is the name of the partition or volume on the FireWire drive on which the files were trashed. If the FireWire drive is a single partition, then partition_name is the same as the name of the FireWire drive.
Within that directory is a subdirectory for each user on that trashed files while using the FireWire drive. Each user-specific subdirectory's name is the NetInfo uid (user ID) number of the user.
We will use Terminal (located in your Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder) to find the files and empty the Trash.
First, Launch Terminal by double-clicking its icon in your Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
We can see all of the Trash-related subdirectories on the FireWire partition in question, including their contents, using the following Terminal command:
sudo -alhR "/Volumes/partition_name/.Trashes"
It must be typed exactly as written after the Terminal prompt (% in the following examples), save you must substitute the correct value for partition_name in the command. Note that Terminal commands are case-sensitive.
After typing the command, again substituting the correct value for partition_name, you press Return and type your Admin password when prompted. You should see a listing like the following when I look at the .Trashes folder on the Spare partition of one of my FireWire drives:
% sudo ls -alhR "/Volumes/Spare/.Trashes"
Password:
total 0
d-wx-wx-wx 3 unknown unknown 102B Apr 22 05:25 .
drwxrwxrwx 31 unknown unknown 1K Apr 25 04:02 ..
drwx------ 4 unknown unknown 136B Apr 25 04:02 501
/Volumes/Spare/.Trashes/501:
total 33664
drwx------ 4 unknown unknown 136B Apr 25 04:02 .
d-wx-wx-wx 3 unknown unknown 102B Apr 22 05:25 ..
-rw------- 1 unknown unknown 6K Apr 25 04:01 .DS_Store
-rw-r--r-- 1 unknown unknown 16M Nov 14 15:44 Test.fp7
The first line highlighted in yellow above is the only user-specific subdirectory within the /Volumes/partition_name/.Trashes directory. That subdirectory's name is 501 .
The block of lines highlighted in yellow lists the contents of the Trash on that FireWire volume for the user whose NetInfo uid is 501, generally the first user defined on the Mac. We can see that this directory contains the file
Test.fp7
that I moved to the Trash on that volume (it's shown in the last line in the block of yellow lines above).
You would use the same process to find the 5xx directory containing the files you moved to the Trash when the FireWire drive was connected to a different computer.
To empty the Trash for the user whose NetInfo uid is 501 on the Spare volume, I would type the following command:
sudo rm -ri "/Volumes/Spare/.Trashes/501/"
press Return, then type my Admin password if prompted. This would then prompt me to confirm if I wanted to remove every file in the 501 trash subdirectory including the subdirectory itself. I would respond y for "yes" to every question except the last, to which I would respond n for "no." Here's what that looks like in Terminal:
% sudo rm -ri "/Volumes/Spare/.Trashes/501/"
Password:
examine files in directory /Volumes/Spare/.Trashes/501/? y
remove /Volumes/Spare/.Trashes/501//.DS_Store? y
remove /Volumes/Spare/.Trashes/501//Test.fp7? y
remove /Volumes/Spare/.Trashes/501/? n
I've highlighted my y and n responses in green and red, respectively, so you can distinguish them from the prompts. I respond n to the last question as I want to keep the 501 subdirectory.
So, once you've found the 5xx subdirectory containing the files you trashed when the FireWire drive was connected to the other computer, you'd use the command:
sudo rm -ri "/Volumes/partition_name/.Trashes/5xx/"
substituting the correct values for partition_name and 5xx, and typing y for "yes" in response to each prompt except the last prompt, e.g.
remove /Volumes/partition_name/.Trashes/5xx/?
to which you would respond n for "no." The files trashed when the FireWire drive was connected to the other Mac are now gone from the FireWire drive.
When completed, you end your Terminal session as follows:
1. At the Terminal prompt, type: exit
2. Press Return.
3. Quit (Command-Q) Terminal.
Good luck!

Can i retrieve files i put in the trash

i deleted files but i want them back how can i retrieve them on my macbook pro

If you didn’t empty the Trash, drag them out.
If you have a backup of them, restore them from it.
If neither of those is applicable, try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.
