Having an iBlonde moment.... in trying to take out the trash

I can drag things to the trash, but I cannot: a) open the trash to see what is in it, or remove anything from the trash. Can anyone assist?

Click on the trashcan icon and hold the mouse down. A
little bubble will open up giving you 2 options -
open and empty trash.
All you need to do is to move your cursor to what you
want to do and let go.
The other thing to do is double click on the trashcan
so you can see what is in there.
Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks...
I know I'm blonde...but I should have explained in my post that it's not that easy. I do double click and nothing happens. And when I hold the curser on the icon, the 'open trash' bubble comes up, but doesn't respond either. I can't find a trash icon anywhere on my hard drive. Could somehow the trash icoon been 'trashed'? It's a real problem. Not a completely blonde one either! Thanks.

  • Trying to throw out the trash....

    I have uninstalled all things Adobe from my MAC, but a dead icon remains on the launch screen, "AAMLauncherutil". It does nothing when clicked, but will not uninstall. Please help me rid myself of Adobe. I thought I would enjoy using their stuff, but it has been a nightmare: products stuck in trial mode, and incredible amount of "required" downloads and the worst on-line chat support I have ever encountered. I feel like I paided for a Cadillac, but got a Kia. Just one icon to go - - PLEASE help.

    Run the cleaner tool and see if it helps.

  • I am trying to take out my fan in my Compaq Presario CQ50 but I can't access it....?

    I am following this guide (http://www.insidemylaptop.com/remove-mot… and I skipped removing the memory, WIFI, and DVD. I don't want to do all that. Right now I am at the part where you take over the top cover but I can't get it off. Do I have to go through removing the memory, etc; ???

    I have to either replace it or clean it. I can't just take out the screws in the back (it doesn't look like they come out. I was trying to unscrew one for an hour.)

    If you were having your appendix removed would you want the surgeon to skip a few steps? Follow the Service Manual would be my best advice, sir. I have not personally taken apart CQ50 but there are likely screws inside the memory compartment or under the optical drive that can only be reached by removing the memory, DVD drive, wifi card, etc. If you do not remove the wifi card and antennae leads the antenna will be in your way holding the top and bottom halves together.

    Don't know where you got that idea, all US Cricket iPhones are carrier locked, with NO way to get them officially unlocked, as Cricket DOES NOT offer official unlocking for the iPhone.

  • Hello, i were updatin my ipad, and then when it wasnt finished i came to take out the wire, the thing that sits in the iPad and now i cant do anything, its totally frozen, what can i do?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT4650 In Finder, Desktop, it shows a zillion photos ...jpgs.. all greyed out.  I have no idea how they got there and they have been a nuisance since I cannot seem to get them off.  Tried dragging them to the trash, didn't help.

    In Finder,  Desktop,  a zillion photos show .  I have no idea how they got to the desktop but have not been able to get rid of them.  They are listed as greyed out.  ON the Desktop I tried dragging them to the Trash.  If I try to empty trash, 'some of the items you are moving are in use by another application. etc.."  and now,  another, Copy   "Preparing to undo "move to Trash".

    Try an All Images Search:
    In the Finder:
    Command - f
    Kind: Images
    Size: Greater than 300kb (This is to avoid all the thumbnails, icons and so on.)
    Set it to search the Mac.
    As to why? The most likely answer is user error, I'm afriad. It does point up the importantce of always having a back up.

  • Can I take out the underlines in photo gallery?

    Can I take out the underlines in photo gallery? I mean the underlines for "Back to Album", "Previous" and "Next". I understand they are functional but I just don't think they look great with the whole composition. Thank you!

    This might work:
    Create a dummy hyperlink on that page and set the color, rollover color and underline options that you want on those links. Click a couple of times on the *Use for New Links on Page* button. Delete the dummy hyperlink and republish. That should change the links you mentioned.

  • Did they take out the free section, you know where they might offer a free episode/song/video/etc in one spot (or at least did they for Canada)? I can find the english song of the week, but that is it...

    Did they take out the free section, you know where they might offer a free episode/song/video/etc in one spot (or at least did they for Canada)? I can find the english song of the week (I used to enjoy browsing both the english and french), but that is it...

    Nevermind. For some reason it loaded wrong/poorly/? It was back after I closed itunes down and re-opened it.
    Thanks though

  • Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

    hi,
    I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
    a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
    takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
    from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
    null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
    the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
    the null and not null values.
    Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
    Any help is always appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

    Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
    I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

    This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
    I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.

    I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
    A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

  • I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

    I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

    You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.
