I am trying to empty my trash bin.  It starts up, asks if I want to delete all or locked or unlocked and then it stops. 
How do I empty the trash securely please?
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 am trying to burn a dvd. I created it on Imovie shared it to Idvd and am trying to burn it on a memorex dvd-r from my mac os x laptop. Each time it attempts to bunr and then ejects it early. Usually near the end. Please help.

    You will get better results if you use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and then drag the movie from the Movies pane of the Media Browser in iDVD onto the menu window.
    Also I suggest you use this workflow which I learned from Bengt:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    If they aren't on icloud.com they are no longer in iCloud.  If you don't have another backup, I'm afraid they're gone.

    Hi wdriver,
    It seems like due to some unknown reason permission from the Licensing folder is removed. Please try launching any of the apps by right clicking and select Run as an Administrator, it should fix the issue by doing that.
    Please let us know if it helps.

    I've tried my best to troubleshoot. . . opening in safe mode nothing seems to work.
    In the problem report, this is the error that stood out:

    Hi there navicin79,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the articles below helpful. The first thing I would try is reinstalling iTunes as outlined in the first article.

  • Im having trouble changing my security questions, they are from years ago so i do not remember them and the reset email is no longer active,and i dont know how i can use the account because i added money to it but it asks for the questions. anybody help??

    im having trouble changing my security questions, they are from years ago so i do not remember them and the reset email is no longer active.., and i dont know how i can use the account because i added money to it but it asks for the questions. anybody help??
    this says it all..

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
    Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive.

  • How do I install the avg security toolbar into Firefox?

    Hello,
    I installed IE10 on my new desktop (HP W7 Ultimate 32 & 64 bit), downloaded AVG free and selected the option to include the AVG Security Toolbar--everything was installed. I then downloaded Firefox 22.0 but found no option to install the AVG Security Toolbar. How do I install the AVG Security Toolbar in my existing Firefox browser? Thank you. jav1, 7/10/2013

    Why would you want the AVG toolbar? It has a tendency to be buggy and all it's "features" are included in browsers already.
    If you really want it, get it at http://www.avg.com/us-en/secure-search (please note AVG toolbar is a third-party program and AVG provides support for it, not us)

  • Trying to install the newest version of itunes on my pc and am getting  "program cant start because msvcr80.dll is missing from your computer"  reinstalling doesnt work.  and then it says error 7 (windows error 126)

    trying to install the newest version of itunes on my pc and am getting  "program cant start because msvcr80.dll is missing from your computer"  reinstalling doesnt work.  and then it says error 7 (windows error 126).  Any help would be appreciated.  Using Windows 7 enterprise on an hp Z600

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Pancenter,
    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Tristan
    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

  • I've can't open any applications on my Mac ! I tried to delete some files from safari (history) and then none of the apps including iphoto, safari, mail, facetime. I don't know how to fix it, help ? any idea ?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

    I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

    Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.  Please uninstall iTunes,  then install iTunes again.  Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    Many thanks. That issue will be causing the iTuneshelper error message too.
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
