How can I see what is in the Trash folder?

When I open the Trash folder, all I see is a gray bar with "Trash" on the left and a button marked "Empty" on the right. I know I have items in the trash, but I can't see them. It used to be when I opened the trash, I saw a list of all items in the trash. What has changed?? Thanks.

Your trash bin may be damaged and it's deleting items as soon as you put them in.
Go to /Applications/Utilities/ folder and launch Terminal. At the prompt, copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window.
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
Press Return. You will be asked to enter your admin password. As you type, your password will not be returned, so be sure to enter it correctly. Press Return again. Log out and back in or restart.

HT201656 how can i see what is in the "other" category

Can you see whats in the other category, and delete what you don't want?

The other catrgory includes system files and saved game data. The only way to see what's in it and to delete it is to jailbreak (which I don't recomend doing right now) but if you would like to do that, you need to root the phone, however I don't want to get into jailbreak stuff on an Apple run forum.

How can i see what is in my trash on my macbook air?

I want to see what is in my trash before I empty it, but I cant see anything when i click on the icon, it is like a screen is covering the contents.

It is a really BAD idea to move items from the Applications or Applications -> Utilities folders to your desktop or any other folder, and as John Galt says, it should have been in your Applications -> Utilities folder.
If you want a fast access to such an app, create an Alias and put that Alias anywhere you iike (Finder -> File -> Make Alias). Make several aliases of the app if you want it in multiple location, just do not move the original.
When Apple standard programs and utilities are not in their expected locations several bad things can happen.
After an update/upgrade you might get a newer copy in the official location, but keep using the old version because you keep clicking on your desktop copy, and then wonder why it is not working correctly with the updated/upgraded Mac software.
Some functions may fail, if some other app that expects to be able to launch the standard app cannot find it in the standard location.
If it is an essentail utility you may be even brick your Mac, turning it into a door stop.
Pleaes uses Aliases and do not move things our of their Applications or Applications -> Utilities locations.

How can I see what I'm actually video recording on iPad Air so that I don't include extra stuff at the borders of the image? It seems to automatically "zoom in" on the screen, but when I export the video, the picture isn't framed well.

When I try to record a video on the Ipad Air, the screen automatically "zooms in" closer than when I'm taking a photo. So I frame the interview and record it. But when I export it to post it or edit it, I discover that only the screen was zoomed in, the camera wasn't, so I have all this extra stuff around the edges of my frame.
I don't need to zoom in, but I do need to be able to see what I'm shooting--otherwise, as I'm videotaping, I'm guessing at my picture's framing. But every time I switch from photo to video mode, the screen "zooms in." How can I see what I'm actually recording?
I've been searching for an answer for this for a while, but I can't find any responses to it! Thanks.

1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how would I edit the data that is on it?
2) I am having problems with an app syncing data with pc - how can I fix that? It is mobile noter.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer.

How can you see what the WLC ACL is denying?

How can you see what the acl on our WLC5508 is denying? The counter keeps on going up but what is getting blocked is nowhere to be seen.

You are right but you can monitor that through the hits counts on the (WLC)Security->Access crontrol list === Hits
It will give you some idea for trouble shooting also you have the cmd line for details analysis.

TS1550 Do external hard drives mounted on my Mac get backed up by time machine on a time capsule wireless Apple external back up disk? How can I see what folders have been actually stored in the wireless back up disk?

Do external hard drives mounted on my Mac get backed up by time machine on a time capsule wireless apple external hard disk? How can I see what folders have been actually backed up in the external wireless disk? any help would be appreciated

They can provided you remove them from the Exclude list. Normally, Time Machine does not automatically backup external drives.

The "playhead indicator" is a twofold tool. Click on the "clock" icon and it switches to Project Length:
You can click and drag on the time clock to increase the project length if you need to see what's going on beyond your Play Range.
The image below is an overview of parts. The Timeline view is opened to reveal layer timing.
The "mini timeline" (the bar under the canvas above the clock) shows the entire project length. Usually that's the same length as the default Play Range. Use the play head clock to add more time if you need to reveal longer media "tails". You will not change the Play Range by doing so (you'll have to do that "manually"). You can even Share/Export your project with respect to Play Range as opposed to Project Length (there's a drop down option for that upon export.)
If you're creating a template, FCPX only "sees" the play range.
It's not a cool one-click option... it's just the way it is in Motion.

How can I see what is in my iCloud and on iPad and remove some stuff on on iPod mini

How can I see what is in my iCloud and maybe remove some from my iPad mini

You have to sign into your iCloud account at icloud.com from a computer to view your iCloud data. Also, be careful not to delete data from your phone that is being synced to iCloud or it will delete if from iCloud too. (For example, if you delete a contact from your phone with Settings>iCloud>Contacts set to On it will remove the contact from iCloud too.)

How can I see what has been backed up

After doing a category BU to my WD Passport Ultra, how can I see what was backed up? The Smartware tells me that what I selected was done.But how and where can I confirm this? Thanksgrowlybear

Simplest way is to open the drive in Windows Explorer, then in the root you should find a folder WD Smartware.stor. Within that should be a folder for each device you've backed up, and within that a folder for each drive on that device that you've backed up. Within those drive folders you should find the files/folders that have been backed up from that particular drive. You can look through them in the same way that you look through the files/folders on your actual drive itself, and confirm that everything is there that you expect to be.
