Files in the trash bin that are in use and I don't want delete it !!
Hi,
i have put files in the trash bin by mistake and i could not solve a problem . this files are in use by Parallels and I could not move it or empty the trash bin .....
(files are in library - startup items - Parallels )
What coul I do,
Any help welcom,
Thanks,
David
Exactly, there is a file that I cannot move : prl_dhcpd !! if a try to move it to it's original folder, I see the same file in the folder, and If I try to move it, I have a permission message (ok, i'm not the owner of this file, it's a system file), but even if I change the file permission, the file is in use, and i could not replace it.
I could move this file from the trash bin on my desktop, but i could not delete it, because the system sa it's in use .....
So i have a duplicate file unerable !
Any help Welcom, Thx

I have dragged 2 files to the trash bin but I cannot delete them from the trash bin. It keeps telling me these files are in use when they are not. How do I delete these files? One is a txt file and the other is an xls file
From the Finder menu select 'Secure Empty Trash'. If this or the suggestion above doesn't resolve the problem take a look at the various suggestions in this link:

I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.2. I have sent a work file to the trash bin along with many other files. When I empty the trash this one particular file remains and I get a message that this file is still in use. I have tried returning the file to my documents, opening it, closing it and then sending it to trash and again I try to empty trash but the same message comes up - Q - How can I trash this file permanently?
First just try logging out and back in. Whatever is holding on to it may not be running after the logout thus freeing it so you can trash it after logging back in.
You might also try Trash It!
Lastly, look at the following for suggestions:

Cannot move files to the trash bin
Hello,
I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and have since also changed the administrator on our MacBook Pro. My account (formerly the admin) can no longer move files to the trash bin. My wife's account (now admin) has no problem doing so. When I try dragging a file to the trash I get "Finder wants to make changes, type the administrator's name and password to allow this."
Not something I wan't to be doing every time. Please help.
Thanks,
the RouleauFamilyThanks for your reply. The permissions looked fine.
Here is the fix I found at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html which worked:
If the affected account is:
Then type the Terminal command:
Your Admin account:
sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash
Another user account:
sudo rm -ri /Users/user_name/.Trashwhere user_name is the short name of the affected account.
Warmly,

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID" I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?
What are you having problems with ?
This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id. -
I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone.
How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?
You tried to remove the music from iTunes on your Mac how?
Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer? -

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try syncing with iTunes

I just received my new Mac Mini and want to migrate files from my Time Machine. I assume the old OS is on Time machine and I don't want it to supersede the new Yosemite OS. Do I have to Do anything special?
Using Migrations Assistant will only move the data and other things over, it will not bring over a previous version of the Os since the 2014 model can run anything earlier than Yosemite.

The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed. -

I have sent all my album photo's to the recycle bin and then proceeded to empty the trash bin totally..........what a stupid thing for me to do my only excuse is this apple is all new to me and those photo's were/are so precious to me.
Can anyone tell me how i can retreive them all back..i have no idea what i am doing at all
Senior moment i thinkDid you empty the iPhoto trash? (left side bar) If not you should be able to drag them out. If you did empty the iPhoto trash, did you empty the computer trash? If you did then they are most likely gone. You can try something like Data Rescue 3, it may be able to recover some. The software is not cheap.
You can also try a data recovery service, they may or may not be able to recover some for you, but it will be very expensive.
You can also click GO>Go to folder in the menu bar (SHIFT COMMAND G) short cut, and type (or copy/paste) in this and see if there is anything in the trash folder. ~/.Trash then click go, press return
Good luck -
When I sync my ipod, I get an error message telling me some files couldn't be synced. I think the files must be damaged somehow and I'd like to redownload them. When I go into purchased at the itunes store, I can't reload them because it says they're already downloaded. I tried deleting them from the playlist, but that doesn't solve it because they still come up as downloaded.
Control click does not work - no option to find files. I have no idea what to do. When I look at the usage of the external drive the space is being used, but I cannot find the files. I am going to try MacKeeper's Undelete and see if I can make any progress with it.

Sorry! I didn't realize that a message window opened up, so am not sure if my entire question showed up. I can't use my Safari app at all. Every time I try to open it, the app I used (and closed) previously opens instead. It doesn't matter what app it is, it is just the previous app used. Settings: 4.2.6 (8E200). Model MC676LL. Please help...Thanks!
Kimmons09Thanks Meg,

Hi All!
I have an iPod Touch and I set a passcode yesterday. I wento unlock it today and it seams I have forgotten my 4 Digit Pascode. I don't know what I should do
I don't have the PC which I last synced my iPod to. I changed My PC a month ago to a upgraded version, I diddnt transfer any data to that pc. I have iTunes installd on that pc but I havnt connected my iPod to it at all. I tried to connect it to my new pc for the first time so I could make a backup of everything, but itunes sid I had to unlock my ipod to use it on itunes. I don't know it so icant make a backup.
My ipod has very special things on like wedding pics/vids and other things which I dont have of.
I am fully aware how I have to restore it (dfu mode) but I have no data of it
Is it possible to use a third party application (windows) to make a backup and itunes to restore?
Or can I use a third party application to unlock my ipod?
Or will I have to say goodbye to my only copy of things?
I don't want to risk any more attempts. I have done a number of tries and I'm upto "ipod is disabled for 5 mins" I can still do more tries but I don't want the minutes to go higher
Thanks for you help!
