"Empty" button in trash window does nothing

I was just wondering if anyone else had the problem where the "empty" button on the top right of the trash window is unresponsive, it has not been working for some weeks.
Not a problem, I can empty it other ways, I was just curious if this is common.

Have you tried to repair permissions? (Applications > Disk Utility > Repair Permissions). This may help.

    First you can try to force reboot your phone.  To do this:
    1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
    2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up.
    If that doesn't work, you might need to hook the phone up to your computer and do a full restore through iTunes.

    After I plug in my iPhone, iTunes gets hung trying to back it up. Clicking the "x" next to the backup window does nothing.

    Try this:
    Quit iTunes.
    Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu>All Programs>Accessories>right-click "Command Prompt">choose "Run as Administrator")
    Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
    Reboot your machine.
    Restart iTunes.
    If that doesn't resolve it you'll have to go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab click on the backups shown and delete them.  Then try syncing again.

    "Continue" was hidden at the bottom of the welcome screen because my display was changed.  Some days I'm smarter than others.  Or.... :-) 

  • "OPEN" button in Purchases list does nothing

    My machine is a Mac Pro (5,1; 12-core 2.4GHz; 64 GB RAM). My boot drive is a 1TB Crucial M5, holding about 350GB. There are also two 3TB and one 4TB hard drives installed in the machine. I updated to Yosemite (10.10 -- 14A389) from Mountain Lion (10.8.5) a few days ago. Afterwards App Store indicated required updates for Xcode, Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor. I downloaded all of those updates to completion. On its "Updates" tab App Store reports all of them as having been installed in the last 30 days. However, only older incompatible versions of the software reside in my Applications folder. When I sign-in and inspect my Purchases list in App Store, those applications each show an "OPEN" button instead of an "INSTALLED" or "DOWNLOAD" button. Clicking the "OPEN" button installed Xcode. Clicking their corresponding buttons does nothing in the cases of Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor. There are no unfinished downloads according to App Store. Before I updated to Yosemite I had updated Logic Pro X to v10.0.7. That version of the app is installed and will run. However, it is also shown as "OPEN" in my App Store Purchased list. All of this makes very little sense to me. How do I go about actually installing Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor?

    Hi,
    I've came across this issue before. I had to remove the less than and greater than ("<" and ">") signs from the LOV template. Go to Shared Components --> Templates and edit the PopUp LOV template.

  • Firefox 5.0 for Linux: sometimes the middle button on a link does nothing, sometimes it opens the link twice - What can I do?

    Hello,
    I just updated Firefox from 4.x to 5.0 on Ubuntu 10.10 32bit.
    Since then, the middle button of the mouse works erratically on links.
    Sometimes the middle button opens a new tab with the link (which is correct), then replaces the current page with the link (which is not correct).
    It was particularly annoying when I tried to bypass what looks like another FF5 problem: clicking on "next" or page 2, 3, 4... on a Google results page gives nothing. Clicking with the middle button opens the page in a new tab... but also replaces the current one. Refreshing the page after clicking "next" or a page number seems to work.
    Is it a bug or a config problem? What should I do from now?

    Right click on the hyperlink and select “Open Link in New Tab," that will open a new tab and keep you from getting a blank page like most people get. I don't know why they changed this option. If you don't want to do that every time you can change it in the config.
    1. In Firefox, type about:config into URL Location bar.
    2.Click on I’ll be careful, I promise! button.
    3.In the filter text box, enter the following text string with no quotations :
    ''''''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''''''
    Alternatively, manually locate the preference name above.
    4.The default boolean value for the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent is “true”. Double click on the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to''' false'''.
    5.Close the tab, and the change will take effect immediately.
    Hope that helps some people..

  • Is there a way to open multiple windows in firefox 5.0? I can't do it from windows quicklaunch and the right click"open in new window" does nothing.

    Yeah, not much more to say. Since I upgraded to firefox 5.0, I can no longer open multiple windows. Multiple tabs work, but I don't like tabs. Please help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • In Tools Options, the Security button looks normal but does nothing when I push it. (v. 7.0.1) How can I get to my saved passwords?

    I am the administrator of the PC and logged on as such. Do not have a master password set up for Firefox security.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Aperture runs but does nothing when importing, updating vault, emptying trash

    I'm new to Aperture but experienced with similar applications (I've made the move from PC to Mac). I downloaded the latest version 3.2.2 on to my new 27" iMac, 2.7Ghz, Lion, 4Gbyte RAM, terabyte HD etc (standard config). I very much like Aperture, apart from its regular crashes/doing nothing episodes. I have experienced troubles in three areas:
    - See screenshot below. Aperture appears to do nothing while taking up all system resources while importing 2k files. The log says nothing has been imported but the entire Mac slows down. Other folders with more files are OK others not. It al appears a bit random. I am importing from folders copied to the local HD, using the option 'folders/project'. My photo library is 16k images (all jpg) stored in regular folders.
    - when deleting many files in Aperture trash, the same spinning wheel as importing again with nothing happening.
    - when updating the vault, same as above 2, spinning wheel nothing else.
    In all three cases Aperture seems still to be running, but I always have to finally force quit. Upon re-boot, all seems to work until the next issue is found!
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Hello Gary,
    That is not much to go on. Try to narrow down the problem by a few simple tests:
    to find out, if your library is corrupted in some way, start aperture with a new, empty library
    File -> Switch to library -> other/new
    and see, if Aperture is running without problems on a different library.
    If that should be the case, try to repair your library.
    If Aperture does not run from a different library, try to launch it from a different account. If that succeeds, thrash your Preference,
    If all fails, reinstall Aperture.
    The trouble shooting measures are described here:

    Good luck

    I have a new hp tower running windows 8.1 and have been trying to install the adobe reader.  The installer downloads (1meg) and I choose to run it but it just sits with an empty screen.  I've checked task manager and it takes up memory but does nothing.  After letting it run for 3-4 minutes I kill the task.  What can I do to get the reader installed on this machine?  I've tried using chrome, firefox and explorer and get the same results with each.

  • Our Mini IPad shows a window box that states we have not backed up our I cloud in 9 weeks. Plug in with internet service.  That screen is froze. When you hit connect it does nothing. I tired to shut down, but power off button is greyed out so not an optio

    Our I-Pad has never connected with our wireless internet from since we got it. Our laptop connects just fine and we have a strong signal.  We now have a locked screen stated that I-cloud has not been backed up in 9 weeks. Plug into internet?  However when you click the button to try to get to the internet it does nothing. The power off button is greyed out so not an option to shut down. Just froze on that screen?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
    Thank you in advance.

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • FaceBook button missing in iPhoto 8.0.4, menu option does nothing

    I can see the MobileMe, Email and Flickr buttons in iPhoto (latest version). The FaceBook button is missing. Clicking an album and then the FaceBook menu item in Share does nothing.
    Neither does the Flickr button or menu item. MobileMe does bring up a dialog box but I have no idea where the FaceBook button disappeared to and how to bring it back and actually make it work. I have posted albums OK in the past.

    You remove that file.
    Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Since uploading Maverick, my Microsoft apps give an error message "(the app) quit unexpectedly.  Click Reopen to open the application again."  However, this does nothing but renew this window.  What to do?

    Since uploading Maverick, all of my Microsoft apps give an error message "(name of the app) quit unexpectedly.  Click Reopen to open the application again."  However, this does nothing but renew this window.  I have to click on the "OK" button to get rid of the error message.  What to do?

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • P20: Hidden reset button? Windows does not launch

    My Toshiba Satellite P20 laptop (XP Media Edition )does not Start up
    The last actions were :
    A memory stick was ejected.
    Two explorer windows were closed.
    Clicked on the "Start" button.
    The "Start" button did not respond and the display froze.
    The P20 was not reacting to anything except the movement of the mouse. Ctrl-Alt-Delete did not work.
    I tried to switch the P20 off but the on/off button would not respond. The P20 was left alone for 30 minutes to switch itself off.
    Since switching off the P20 has refused to start up.
    If the On button is pressed the fan starts for a couple of seconds but then the P20 cuts out again.
    Windows does not launch.
    I checked the inlet fan is clean & working.
    I tried switching on and hitting the function buttons in turn e.g F8, F1 to F4 for booting up in safe mode, in case of accidental switch to hibernate or to a separate screen etc.FN light comes on but screen stays dark.
    I have taken out the battery and left it to comtemplate its navel = P20 does not start up.
    I have had the hard drive checked by PC World and they said it was working properly. There are two different technical opinions on what might be wrong with the P20.
    1) Problem with the motherboard.
    2) It is stuck in hibernation mode.
    I am faced with the prospect of paying over 300 for repairs (estimate supplied by repair company Mastercare).
    Is there a form of emergency restart of the P20 just in case the problem is software and not hardware related?
    Could not see the 'paperclip' socket on the machine and nothing in the manual.

    Hi Noelma,
    When you press the power button try pressing the ESC key. This should show you the BIOS load process. If you still get just a black screen then I suspect a problem with your mainboard and the quote your got from Mastercare would be quite reasonable for this to be replaced. :(
    Hopefully you will be able to see the BIOS process in which case you should be able to see where the load process stops.
    Best of luck
