Error reported every time I try to empty the trash can

Does anyone know what to do to deal with the following error message.
"Sorry, the operation could not be completed because and unexpected error occurred (Error code -8062)
<stop> <continue>
My only way around this are to use the terminal program (each time), or a 3rd party utility like FileExaminer which will force the trash to empty. A major waste of time in every case.
Hope someone knows how to deal with this.

  • I get an error code -8003 when I try to empty the trash

    I was about to run TechToolPro to defrag etc my external HD when I decided to reduce the size of the Time Machine file by removing the earliest two or three backups which date back to a year ago or so. I realize the error of my ways now but my thinking was to reduce the time it took to defrag etc.
    I had put the files in my trash on the MBP 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 Gb ram running 10.6.8 which at that time had about 11gib of HD space left. This action brought it down to 3.8 Gb left on the HD.
    cannot
    Now when I try to empty the HD I get an error code -8003 and the HD space remaining has reduced to about .5 Gb.
    What are my options?
    I also have a Super Duper backup.

    Did any of the threads that appear in the "More Like This" section to the right help you?
    You could try this utility and see if that trashes any stubborn files:

  • I'm getting an error code -8003 when I try to empty the trash.

    My computer has just been switched on after shutdown overnight so hasn't crashed, I'm wondering if there's any reason for this.

    See this general resume of trash problems.
    I suspect you've been trying to remove some of your Time Machine back ups.   Not a good idea without doing the necessary research first.  Read about ways to solve Trash problems.

  • TS1369 since downloading updates for itunes I get MSVCR80.dll error message every time I try to access itunes?

    Since downloading updates for itunes I get MSVCR80.dll error message every time I try to start i-tunes. can anybody help please.

    Hello aristilus2,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes.  I suggest removing and reinstalling iTunes for the issue you described.  The following article has steps to do this, and I recommend removing iTunes and all related componenets as outlined in the article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

  • I purchased bioshock 2 on the app store on my macbook pro (running lion) and it shows 'an error has occured' every time I try to download the app. How do I install it properly, I have restarted my mac and reset the app on the debug menu?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • I found my brother's old 1st generation iPod. An unknown error 1442 keeps appearing every time I try to restore the iPod.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • Im getting error 14 every time i try to restore my ipod touch,any  fixs?

    im getting error 14 every time i try to restore my ipod touch? anyone know how to fix this?
    i have itunes 9 and this problem started when i bought the new itouch software. i have alreay tried deleting itunes then re-installing it.

    Well, the problem isn't the back up because I already have a backup saved that I can restore from, I honestly don't know how, but I do, and it has all my apps. The problem is restoring it. I keep getting the "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "King". A duplicate file name was specified. With my 3G iPod touch, I did not have it named as "King". I had it as another name. I don't know if that helps, but as I said before, Backup-wise I'm okay for now. Restore-wise I'm not.
    NOTE: Reinstalling iTunes doesn't help.
