Help, where did my trash can go?

Why did I loose the icon for deleting (trash can) and reply icon on my iPhone?. When reading my emails I always had them at the bottom

hi Fullcream!
thanks for the reply. So here's the deal (which I just discovered 15 minutes ago):
my co-worker wiped out my iTunes. We are running out of space on our shared server here at work, so he is getting rid of the iTunes stuff which is taking up space. About a year ago, we had this problem and as it turned out my iTunes folder was connected to our shared "P" drive. I changed it so it is now located on my "C" drive.
the problem now is that everytime I import a CD to iTunes, the playlist data info still goes to the "P" drive, to a folder called :
P:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml
After adding 1000 songs, that data adds up and takes up space. That's why my co-worker wiped it. I still have all my songs, but neither of us can seem to figure out how to have that playlist data go to my C drive instead. Any ideas???
THANKS!

Mail - where is the trash can

This is my 3rd install of OSX 10.4.5 - this time when I created an email account there is no trash can - I see how to make new mailbox folders but can not find where thetrash is hidden - please help - thanks

Hi again,
In each account folder, and sometimes in the Mailboxes folder, there is a Deleted Messages.mbox, but it is only created by Mail (and not by you) after first deleting a message in the Inbox of each account, and for the one for On My Mac, until a messages is deleted from an On My Mac mailbox.
Also, in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors, you have to have selected to have deleted messages moved a separate mailbox.
Hope this helps.

Where did my trash button go on my email???

When an email is open there is no longer the trash can at the bottom to delete or the folder to send the email to a different folder. Where did it go?

double tap on your home button and when your multi task icons come up press and hold one of the icons untill it jiggles. then you will see a small x in the left corner. click on the x on each iclon to close all of your multi task icons. the sign back into your wmail and your icon should be on there.

IOS 8.2 : Message : Where is the trash can ?

Hi all !
Just gave my mother an iPad, She asked me once how to delete a message/picture in the Message App. I show it to her. I have since updated her iPad to iOS 8.2 and the trash seems to have disappeared. On the iPhone, it is there. But not on the iPad.
My mother, aged 75 and who hates technology, asked me to phone the company and tell them that she wants her trash bin back
Here you go apple.

It should be there where Demo states it is, under the circumstances he mentions. I've run across this same issue where the trash can was simply NOT there, despite the fact that it should've been there. A device reset cleared that up. Give it a try.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Help -- where did Express Setup Assistant go?

hello, i am a new user to Airport Express. I had all my setting on an "old" computer -- Airport worked great. Just got a new laptop (using Windows Vista) and was trying to put all the admin utitities on my new computer. i have seemed to misplace the install disk that came with the Airport. on my old computer, i used the "airport setup assistant" often, and found it much easier then the airport admin utility. when i went on line, i found Airport Support, 4.2 for windows on the apple website. Downloaded and installed -- but it did not include the setup assistant program. Is there any help out there to know where i might be able to find the assistant and download it? i cant find it anywhere on the Apple website. Thanks for your help...this fourm is awesome...
Matt

I didn't upgrade to Vista, but did need to re-download the same app. Took a bit to find. I also like the Express Assistant Utility. Download the Airport 4.1 for windows (Nov 2004) and execute. The Express Assistant is part of the package.

Where is the trash can so I can delete photos?

I have 600 unwanted photos in my Photostream and very little free space on my iPad 4. When I select photos in the "My Photostream" album there is no option to delete them, as shown in other posts in this forum. Icloud ignores them, because they are over 30 days old (why this crazy limitation?)
How the ..... Can I remove these photos? The only option I know is to delete everything by returning the iPad to its factory state, which is not attractive.
Apple seem to have forgotten that people need to be able to manage their data, iTunes is the worst piece of software I've ever experienced and icloud is little better.
Please does Anyone know a solution, which will overcome Apple's omission and allow me to manage my photos myself?
P.S. Sorry about the random capital letters, but this iPad won't let me place the cursor with any precision. That's a question for another day, together with "why does this forum say that I have IOS 6.0.1 on my IOS 7.0.4 iPad?

Yes it is definitely the icloud Photostream,
All Photo Streams are iCloud Photo Streams. Are the photos in My Photo Stream in tthe Albums section of the Photos app?
It was only when I deleted some that I discovered that icloud wasn't working as I expected. It ignores them,
Deleted them from where? iPad? Computer?
What happened and what were you expecting?
What do you mean it ignores them?
It ignores them, because they were transferred to the iPad
Transfered to the iPad from where?
they were transferred to the iPad more than 30 days ago.
This is irrelevant. Photo Stream photos are stored on the server for 30 days but your iOS device will hold 1000 Photo Stream photos.
With that being said, if they are older than 30 days, turn off Photo Stream in the iCloud settings then back on and it will clear all but the last 30 days of photos in your Photo Stream.

Help, where did my MBA 250 GB SSD disk space go?

I can't account for 123 GB of my MBA 13's 250 GB SSD. A check of the SSD using "Get Info" shows 243GB used. The folders using space on the SSD add up to 120GB being used (as indicated by "Get Info" for each folder). When I look at the details about the SSD using "About this Mac" it states that I have two partitions on the SSD. Is it possible that I have a partition that takes up hard disk space but is not viewable in Finder? I keep running into low hard disk space warnings and can't see why when with the applications, music, pictures, movies, documents and system files on my computer only add up to 120GB. Very frustrated...looking for any help I can get. Thanks.

OK, this is helpful. From the DU info you have a 250 GB SSD that is fully partitioned and formatted as Macintosh HD. If you select the drive on the Desktop then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window, what is reported in the upper pane for the drive's capacity, used, and available space?
Do you use Time Machine at all? If not, open TM preferences and see if TM is turned ON. TM is supposed to do snapshot backups on the startup drive when turned on but when no backup drive is connected.
As for the About This Mac display it is not very useful. Other simply refers to anything not in the other categories and may consist of data, logs ,temporary files, cache files, etc. What is relevant is only what is displayed by the Get Info report for the drive.
It would appear there is about 8.7 GBs of free space on the drive. There is also a reserved amount of space equal to the amount of RAM you have. This is used for the sleep image made when you put the computer to sleep. The Recovery HD uses about 650 MBs of space.
I would suggest you get an external drive that is at least the same size as the SSD. Clone the SSD to the external drive using Disk Utility's Restore feature:
Clone Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue button.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Then boot from the clone using OPTION boot. Use DU to erase the SSD then restore the clone to the SSD. After that erase the external drive. Copy all the data in your Home folder to the external drive and erase the same from the SSD. This will free up a considerable amount of space on the SSD giving you a bit more leeway. For OS X to run optimally you need to maintain a certain amount of free space - at least 12 GBs or 10% of the startup drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Overall I would suggest an external drive of 1 TB. Partition it as follows:
500 GBs for Time Machine backup.
250 GBs for additional storage use.
250 GBs for a bootable clone of the SSD.
This will allow you to put your photos, iTunes library, and movie files onto the external drive so you can remove them from the SSD to free up the space they now take up.
The MBA is not a choice for the home desktop computer. So you need to manage the space usage on the SSD. I keep just a trimmed down installation on my laptops. They are treated as the "travel" computer so I only put on them what is minimally needed for the travel. I use a 60 GB SSD but have more than enough free space for travel needs. If I need more space then I use a 500 GB HDD that has all the space I would likely need.

Since updating I no longer have the ability to delete photos individually or as a folder where has the trash can gone

Since I updated can not delete photos from camera rolls the option to delete photos one by one has also vanished how do I delete now to make more room

In thumbnail view in the Camera Roll album you should have a Select button at the top right of the screen which will allow you to select photos to delete, and tapping the trashcan icon bottom right should delete them. In full-screen you should still have the Edit button bottom right of the screen

HELP-Where did my mailbox go?

I went to check my Mail, and when I click on the mail icon in the Doc nothing pops up. It says MAIL in the upper left corner but there is no option to close or open Mail. Nothing is showing up. HELP please. I tried to restart or shut down the computer but it will not let me because it says I have to close MAIL first, but this option is not allowed when I tried.

Try force quitting the Mail app.
Press Option + Command + Esc then select Mail then click Force Quit.

Where is the trash in ipad and how can I open it to restore photos trashed

Iphone 5 how do i delete a photo or multiply photos? there is no trash can icon in ios 7

Where is the trash can to delete photos in ios 7 iphone? Also if you rotate a photo you can only save it to the camera roll why? in ios 6 if you rotated a photo it just saved your edited photo for you as the same photo.

First go into the moment page for photos (photos at bottom left->collections->moments), FROM THERE ONLY either click on photo and select trash can from bottom right OR hit select on moment page (top right) and select and delete multiple photos at once. ( note, clicking on each moment ex: washington trip, will not enable deleting.
Good Luck!

I have cropped a clip and now want to take other clips from the remaining footage. But the discarded footage which contains other desirable clips is not in Trash. So, where did it go so I can access it?

I have cropped a clip and now want to take other footage from the discarded remains of the clip. But the discarded footage is not in my iMovie trash. Where did it go? And how do I rescue it so I can edit the other short clips from it that I need?

I don't know how it did it (because I cannot duplicate the results) but one time the finder found a folder on my main hard drive called/Volumes Under that folder are folders called the names of previous external hard drives with numbers following them. /Volumes does not appear on my Mac hard drive. Obviously it is hidden somewhere. But it has content. Most of the time, the file names in that content don't show up in a search, but obviously I have found the content and deleted one huge folder of stuff it has saved. When I found the folder, I immediately opened it, where I found this stuff. But unfortunately when it opened in the search window I went directly to the "drive" folder and had no back arrow, so I couldn't get back to the search that found the content and the mystery /Volumes folder. The finder information window does show /Volumes directly off of the main drive (its not in any other folder). Anybody know where this stuff is hidden or how to get to it.

There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting. With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting. With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

Ok, so it appears that my photo gallery and video gallery decided to delete themselves? Is there a trash can or deleted file where I can recover them? Please help

Ok, it seems that my photo gallery and video gallery decided to
delete themselves. Is there a way to recover them perhaps from
a trash can or deleted file? I have a Android

appreciate your reply
1. i do not see a trashcan iconwhen i open the photos.
2. the photos are NOT in the 'camera roll' they are in a folder called 'iPad photos' (which is in the 'albums' section of the iPad)
3. i have re-set the iPad numerous times in order to try and resolve this. each time it is the same - no trashcan.
4. i have no method of 'moving' the photos to another folder - only the option to 'add to' a 'new folder'. since thsi won't delete the original photos, there is little point in trying this.
5. i'm guessing your next suggestion will be to completely back up and re-set my iPad? is that really what i should be doing here? surely... surely.... please, this should be a simple - select>trashcan>delete process and not something i have to spend half my working day trying to resolve! seriously, seriosly, unimpressed with Apple over this issue. it's about time that Apple gave the power back to the user on devices like these. i can understand now why people jailbreak their iPads... there rant over - but please consider my feelings over this issue.

Help, where did my trash can go?
