Error while trying to empty trash on mail

hi there,
i use my gmail account on the mail app and i often get an error messages after im trying to move mails from one folder to another as i quit, then i hit 'ok' and the only way i can quit the app is using 'force quit',
any idea what is wrong??
thanks!!

I always delete whole backup, never just particular file. Should be save according to site you pointed me at:
Sometimes you may want to delete ALL backups.  Sounds easy, but like so many things, it depends on the circumstances:
If there is other data on the volume, you can delete the Backups.backupdb folder, but it will take a very long time (as there may be from several hundred thousand to a few million files), and you may have trouble with locked files and/or permissions.  If possible, it’s much better to delete the backups individually as above, or copy the other data elsewhere temporarily, erase the volume with Disk Utility, and copy the data back.  (This is why a separate partition for Time Machine backups is advised.)
I see the "you can". :-)

  • ERROR when trying to empty Trash!

  • Error 8003 while trying to empty trash

    Hello,
    I'm getting this error quite often while emptying trash and I have to use application named Trash It. But is there any real solution to this?
    1) Yes, I have manually deleted Time Machine backup from external HD, actually many times (due to some problems it was backing up around 15-20 GBs daily quickly filling my drive). It never gave me this error though.
    2) I have used Disk Utility, it says there are no issues with HD and permissions were fixed.
    There is no pattern to this. Like today I wasn't able to delete two screenshots from desktop (moved to trash, error 8003) and I had to use Trash it. External HD wasn't even connected (Time Machine HD).
    Any ideas? At worst I hope Lion will be DVD burnable (I saw some tips on net how to do it) and I will be able to format HD and make clean install.
    Thanks.

  • .trash is busy while trying to empty trash

    I'm trying to increae disc space by deleting files.  When I attempt to empty trash I get a message that .trash is busy, so it can't empty.  In my haste to remove excess, might I have mistakenly moved an important file to trash?  If this is not a problem, I guess I can just do secure empty trash, correct?
    Thanks for your kind assistance (and thanks, Steve)

    Here's the exact message: "“.Trash” can’t be opened right now because it’s being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete. "  Note that this message has been appearing for a couple hours, so I assume any tasks are complete.

  • Error Message Trying to Empty Trash

    I'm having my share of Mac issues this week... I have several items in my Trash bin. when I go to empty, I get the following message: "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code - 8003). I'm using OS 10.6.8. The files I'm trying to trash are time machine backups. Anyway to fix this?

    Hi, I think the problem is you trashed those backups in the Finder instead of in RM.

  • Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

    Here's the sequence of events:
    Setting up a new iMac.
    Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
    Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
    It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
    Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
    Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
    Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
    Now, the problem:
    Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
    Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
    So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
    Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
    Rebooting doesn't help
    Ideas?

    never mind the problem is gone this morning.

    AJC MAILTRIGGER STH Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-03113 (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtExecute)

    An ORA-03113 error would mean that the connection to the database no longer exists so any attempt to get the error message from the the database would result in an error. I think the real issue might be why was the session interrupted.
    03113, 00000, "end-of-file on communication channel"
    Depending on the front-end tool a pointer error or failure to properly terminate a string could result in corrupting the message to Oracle.
    There have been numerous bugs over the years that have resulted in this error message being returned. I notice that the Oracle version, platform, edition, and client tool set are not mentioned in the post. All this would potentially be important information for someone to recognize what might be the problem.
    I would look very closely at the code " at hcommon.pm line 1277 "

  • Solution for "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI" and "System Overload" messages

    Article for those who hate Logic error windows
    Seen in Logic Pro 9.1.7 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
    and Logic Pro 9.0.0 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5
    Logic Pro:
    System Overload.
    The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time.
    (-10011)
    Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.
    Sample Rate xxxxx recognized.
    Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device.
    The search in the help given as follows: overload occurs when you use a lot of tracks and a lot of effects on them, and the synchronization is lost when the selected MIDI track for recording or playback. Yes, this is all that is written in the resources. And here are useful tips that have been found:
    The Bounce function allows the entire instrument track to be recorded as an audio file. This bounced audio file can then be used (as an audio region) on a standard audio track, allowing you to reassign the available processing power for further software instrument tracks. For more details, see "Bouncing Your Project."
    You can also make use of the Freeze function to capture the output of a software instrument track, again saving processing power. For details, see "Freezing Tracks in the Arrange Area."
    These tips - about the timing. About overload - there are no tips, except as "reducing the number of plug-ins" and "increasing latency". Zero useful tips - I got two errors in the test project with a blank audio track with no effects, MIDI drums and standard synthesizer, it was no aux buses, and the entire project was only a single plugin in the master track.
    Here is the configuration of my computer:
    iMac12, 2
    CPU: Intel Core i5 3,1 GHz
    Memory: 4 GB
    And here's a project that almost immediately stops Logic, all instruments and plug-ins with the init-patch, ie not the most demanding settings:
    It's sad.
    When this happened the first time, I could start the project only if the empty audio track has been selected, a track specially designed so that you can at least start the project. Then, this problem has evaporated along with the changing conditions of work and I forgot about it until the last case.
    I was looking for the cause of the problem in the console and the system monitor for two days, and finally I found that Logic ping to the network frequently. I remembered the exact time of occurrence of the problem, and system logs revealed that the problems began immediately, as soon as I deactivate the service of the Internet.
    Solution: enable the Internet, or add a new network service on a computer with no Internet. I just created the Ethernet connection to the ip address 1.0.0.0
    Logic immediately began to sing.

    Hi gabaghoul
    Yes, it worked for me on four different OS and Logic versions (10.6 - 10.8 and 9.0 - 9.1.6)
    It does not work in some cases, hard enough to tell in which one, but you can try, it very easy: go to the net settings and create new Ethernet connection to the ip address 1.0.0.0 and connect LAN cable to the port.
    Also you can try to figure out what happens in your system while Logic error occured - fot that you just start Console and search "logicpro"
    Pay attention to repetitive events in a console and events with suitable timing, not so far from error
    The problem may be related to the GUI or system memory, sometimes turning off Safari (or Chrome, others browsers) might help.

  • Error while trying to install SAP CE 7.1 EHP 1 on Windows 7

    I am trying to install SAP CE 7.1 EHP 1 on Windows 7.  I am getting below error while trying to install. can you please help to fix this problem?
    Running msiexec failed with return code 1603: undefined
    Commandline was msiexec.exe /norestart /L sapmmcX86u.log /i sapmmcX86u.msi /qn
    If you want the installer to retry, choose Yes. If you want the installer to abort the installation, choose No.
    Thanks,
    Sridhar.

    I donu2019t think so it is windows 7 or 64/32 bit hardware/software issue. I have faced u201Cmsiexec failed with return code 1603u201D error many times during SAP installation and solved this issue with below mentioned procedure.
    Solution:
    Just change the location of temp directory to empty folder in user environment variable without cancel installation in current user session. After that, click on yes button to continue the installation. If installation will ended after click on yes button, restart the installation with continue old installation option.
    Regards.
