How will i empty my trash that is "in use"?

When I try to empty my trash it says "this operation could not be completed because the item ...... is in use". How will i empty my trash?

Quit the application associated with the item in the trash before you empty the trash.
If that doesn't help, hold down the Option key and empty the trash at the same time.

Just the Option key. Third from the left on the bottom row.
If that does not work, try the more elaborate steps described here:

Why is it doing this? How can I fix it?

Trash can sometimes fail to empty if a file that has been moved into the Trash is in use by another application.
Restart your machine and try empty the Trash. It should work.
If there are locked files, either you or another user has locked the file, to empty them from Trash the admin (or user) Password is usually prompted before allowing the locked file to be removed.

I have 7 email accounts on my phone. If I tap EDIT while viewing the Trash folder in any of them I see "Mark All" on the left and "Delete All" on the right. If you tap any message, however, the legends go away.

I bought a used iphone. I installed ios 7 before I realized that the previous owner's email and password are still in the phone. How can I remove them so that I can use the icloud and "find my phone" feature?

Thanks so much! It will be kinda weird to contact the person directly, but I guess I will give it a try. Is there anything that I can refer her to in this discussion to let her know I am legit, and not a creeper? Also, I don't know if you can answer this or not. When I plug my phone into itunes, and it says that it is backing up, does that mean that it is going into the other person's cloud, since I cannot access it?

How can i reuse same variables that i create using c:set var="index" /

hi all,
please some one helpme!!!!!!
how can i reuse same variable that i create using
<c:set var="index" value="${0}"/>
cause later in the program i use index to do some condition and based on that i increment ...
so for example if i say...
<c:if test="${index==0}">
<c:set var="index" value="${index+1}"/>
</c:if>
will it be like
if(index==0)
index++;
can i do like i did be4. if not what do i need to do to reuse. cause i use the variable atleast 5 time and its keep changing on diff condition level.

Have you tried it?
It should work, provided you are on the same page.
The c:set tag creates the variable in pageScope by default.
If you forward to another JSP you need to set the scope to be "request" so that it is still available.

Not a solution, but was able to login at work. Then when I got back to the hotel all was fine and it works now. Just will not change IDs I guess.

I have two apple I.D., one with the .me email address I want, how can I delete it so that I can use that .me address on my other account
Or is it possible to transfer the purchases (apps) to my new .me account so that I can re-download them in the future without having to switch accounts?

You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

Get an HDMI switcher. Plug in the ATV directly to the TV and then use the switcher on the other input.

How do you empty the trash in the Classic Environment?

There was a large file on my desktop, called ".tif" (no filename, just ".tif" and nothing else). It was apparently created by the VueScan scanning software. It was not an image I asked it to scan, it's just some sort of test image. It only appears to applications running in Classic. It does not appear to OSX applications, and the Find command in the OSX Finder can't find it.
Using Sherlock 2, running under Classic, I was able to find this file, but the only thing I could do with it in Sherlock 2 was move it to the Trash. So now, it's sitting in the Trash of the Classic environment, but OSX doesn't see it, the Trash in OSX is empty.
There is no "Empty Trash" command in Sherlock 2, or any other Classic program that I have. All of the third-party utility programs that I have for OS 9, such as Norton Utilities, DiskWarrior, etc., won't run under Classic. When I try to run them, I simply get a message, "That application is not supported by Classic."
So, how can I get rid of this file? It is only visible to the Classic environment. Are there any utility programs that run under Classic that can cause the Classic environment Trash to be emptied?
Thank you

Hi, Bob. I have no way to replicate your problem and test this suggestion on my Mac, but I'm confident that it will work. Download File Buddy 8 and use its Find command to search for a file whose name is .tif, including both visible and invisible files in the search. (The "." at the start of the file's name makes it invisible in OS X). Once you find it, select it in File Buddy's hit list — make very sure you're selecting the right file and only that file — and use the Delete command in FB's File menu — not the Trash button in FB's toolbar. "Delete" will remove the file instantly and irrevocably, no matter where it resides, ignoring the usual rigmarole associated with the Trash.
File Buddy is to the Finder what Photoshop is to QuickTime PictureViewer, or Word is to SimpleText. Anything FB can't do to or with your files (and much of what it can), you should be scared of doing. But when you need it, there's no substitute.

How do you empty mail trash with new firmware

In 1.1.4 you could go to your email account click advanced and set the IPT to empty mail trash once a day. I upgraded to 2.0.1 and there is no longer a setting on that screen to set when trash is emptied. I get a lot of spam so I need to empty daily. Anyone know how to do this with the new firmware?
Thanks.

Also, you can move email to the trash folder directly from your inbox without even reading it. To do so from within your "inbox", click on "edit". You will notice there is a blue dot to the left of all new mail (shows you haven't looked at it.) When you click on edit, all the blue dots disappear.
Tap the same area where the blue dot was and a red circle will come up with a check in the center. Tap the Delete All button at the bottom and every red circled email will go directly to "trash".
In Trash, just do as the previous post says. Hit the edit button and then Delete All.
That's it and to me this is worth much more than the $9.95 for 2.0 that there is so much belly aching go on about on this forum.

Files will not empty from trash, causing "errors"

Okay, I know this has been covered, but nothing is working. I have 3 macs, the one in question is a Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8). There are files in the trash that won't empty. They are from external drives that no longer exist. Every time I empty trash, I get "file in use" error, and I continue. Now, new issue, I have added files to trash (from external drive) and it wont empty either (this is usb thumb drive, FAT 32, still exists, is inserted and showing in finder). First, are these actually starting to clog up my system drive, or are they just broken pointers, no real size? Second, why can't I just reset trash and get rid of them. I have been dealing with this for over a year, and it is getting worse. The external drives that started the issue no longer exist, they have been reformatted. What do I do. There must be a way to rebuild the trash. I am an "under the hood" guy, is there a way to see where they are hidden and just manually remove them? Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
