I accidentally put "iphoto" in the trash. yes, really.

for some unknown reason, iphoto wasn't on my toolbar so i had to go to applications and put it in place once more. the first time, i somehow missed and a shortcut appeared on the desktop. i attempted to drag the icon down to the toolbar, but it only doubled and there were two of them... one on the screen and one on the toolbar. the one on the toolbar worked, so i threw away the shortcut. THEN, the one on the toolbar did not work. it said that i had to get it out of the trash or something. so i found the "iphoto photocast plug-in", dragged it onto the desktop. still didn't work. double-clicked on the plug-in and it gave me little choice of what to run with it. i thought that i could just try all of them, so i first chose quicktime. that was a fail. help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You'll have to reinstall iPhoto from the disk that it came on, probably the Restore Software disk:
Click to view full size
Before you reinstall you should go to the HD/Library/Receipts folder and remove any file with iPhoto in the file name. Then reinstall iPhoto and run the latest iPhoto updater.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to retrieve the stacks icon on the dock?I accidentally put it in the trash.

how to retrieve the stacks icon on the dock?i accidentall put it in the trash.

Find the folder it linked to in the Finder and drag that to the right of the Dock's divider line. It'll most likely be either the Downloads or Documents folder in your home folder, which is accessible from the Finder's Go menu.

Hi, i have deleted accidentally some photos and the trash is empty. How can I recover them? Urgentlyyy

Which trash is empty? If it's the iPhoto trash, check the System Trash, as files deleted from iPhoto 11 go there. Assuming that's also empty then you have exactly two options:
1. Restore from your back up
or
2. Use a file recovery app such as File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

I can't put anything on the trash it keeps saying that it has to be deleted

I was wondering if there is a way of fixing this problem I have with not being a able to put anything on the trash, it keeps me from being able to delete an application that has to go to the trash can before being deleted and I can't delete songs from itunes unless I go to the folder itself where all the songs are and delete them immediately as it doesn't let me put then on the trash

Sounds like a permissions issue. Open Disk Utility and repair permissions on your HD.

How do I override "error code -61" when attempting to put things in the Trash? Cannot empty Trash or use Secure Empty Trash.

How do I override "error code -61" when attempting to put items in the Trash? Cannot empty Trash or use Secure Empty Trash. I have a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

The reason why some of the files are blocking the trash from emptying is because of specific ".app" files from third party companies like Adobe products. Not the user files or the various help documents but instead the actual mother program. Here's how to fix this problem:
1) remove from the trash all the actual software programs like Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver and so on and put them on the desktop.
2) Command "I" (info) and when the dialog box opens go to the "Name & Extension" text box and remove the ".app" from the software name. Example: Photoshop.app change to Photoshop.
3) the program icon will change to a "folder icon".
4) put the folder icon back into the trash and you should be able to now empty the trash.
If you continue to get the error code 8003 it's because you may still have one or more software programs in the trash that needs to go through this process. Remember - it's not the user files or help documents or supporting files that is causing this but instead the "actual product programs".

How can I put files into the trash without login every time?

Every time I want to put items in the trash, after dragging things to the basket, I have to sign in. Why? Can I set the defaul to allow me to do so without login?

The procedure below will reset the permissions of a user's home folder in OS X 10.7.4 or later, including 10.8 or later. If you're running an earlier version of 10.7, update to the latest version first. This procedure should not be used under OS X versions older than 10.7.4.
Back up all data before you begin.
Step 1
Click the Finder icon in the Dock. A Finder window will open.
Step 2
Press the following key combinations, in the order given:
Command-3
Shift-command-H
Command-I (the letter "I" as in "Info.")
The Info window of your home folder will open.
Step 3
Click the lock icon in the lower right corner and authenticate with the name and login password of an administrator on the system. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Step 4
In the Sharing & Permissions section of the window, verify that you have "Read & Write" privileges. If not, use the "+" and "-" buttons in the lower left corner to make the necessary changes.
Step 5
By default, the groups "staff" and "everyone" have "Read Only" privileges. With those settings, the files at the top level of your home folder will be readable by other local users. You can change the privileges to "No Access" if you wish, but then your Public and Drop Box folders will be inaccessible to others. Most likely, you don't need to change these settings.
Step 6
If there are entries in the Sharing & Permissions list for users or groups other than "me," "staff," and "everyone," delete them.
Step 7
Click the gear icon at the bottom of the Info window and select Apply to enclosed items... from the drop-down menu. Confirm. The operation may take several minutes to complete. When it does, close the Info window.

I Made a bad desinstalation with adobe Illustrator cc, I put it in the trash can!

I Made a bad desinstalation with adobe Illustrator cc, I put it in the trash can!

You cannot remove a PDF file from "adobe" --- there is no computer application "adobe".
There's "Adobe" the software house. There's "adobe" the earthen building material.
Anyway, you've a PDF that must go to the trash can (& not collect $200 when passing GO).
Two frequently used processes are:
Like any file on a computer you can locate it via your OS's file browser, select it then press-release the "Delete" key on the keyboard. The files goes into the "trash can".
Like any file attached to an email you can select the attached file (PDF, etc.) and then press the Delete key on the keyboard. The file goes into the the trash can.
Be well...

Error 36, how to regret putting it in the trash?

Hi! I've run into the error 36 problem, and after trying to solve it I just gave up and put it in the trash. This seems to be a one way street though, because now I cannot get it out of the trash and back to where it was, because of the error 36. Help?

Some reading links.

We are sorry to have lost you as a valued customer ndl9! I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you are having with trying to pay your final bill. Our best recommendation is the pay my bill link, which should allow you access based on your former phone number or account number. Did you try both? As an additional option, you can reach our automated system from an alternate line by dialing 800-922-0204 and then entering your former wireless number. http://vz.to/1fdEQVi

Since I started using Lion (10.7.2) I'm prompted to type my password if I want to add a folder or put something in the trash. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

It sounds like the permissions on your Home folder are snarky.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

When I try to put something in the trash I get a dialogue asking if I really want to do that.

This is a new problem. I can put stuff in the trash in all my other mac's but this one asks if I really want to delete it and it is deleted without going into the trash. I have no idea how to change this.

Your install disk must look like this
and not like this.
Those gray disks are machine specific and will only work with model of Mac that they shipped with.

Accidentally threw my iphoto in the trash

How do i get a new download of iPhoto after accidentally removing it from the computer? The free iphoto 6.04 and 6.05 don't work because there is no prior version on the computer for it to upgrade from.
any ideas?

Get from the same place where you originally got it - from the iLife DVD that you paid for.

Putting back from the trash

for some reason, I accidentally deleted 500 pictures into the trash. Is there any way I can "put back" without having to do them one at a time? When I try to select two or more at a time, it doesn't seem to work.
huge thanks
David

When I try to select two or more at a time, it doesn't seem to work.
Hello David,
but it should work like this. Even if you select the whole content at once, ctrl-click the selection, and then select "Put Back" from the pop-up menu, you should be able to put all images back at once. In what way does it not work? Do you get an error massage or does Aperture just ignore the command?
There may be some trouble with your Aperture library. Try the Trouble shooting Basics: delete preferences and repair permissions:
