I cannot find my trash can

For some reason I cannot locate my trash can. I looked at a recent doc I sent there and followed the path, but it's not there. The strange part is the folder name appears to be ".trash" now. Any ideas out there?

You may try to remove this preference file
Open finder. Click on Goto pressing alt and you will see Library. Open Library
Move the com.apple.finder.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Restart you Mac.
If your Trash Can is in his position delete the com.apple.finder.plist.
If you get other problems restore this file in its original position.

Cannot empty iPhoto trash can why ?

i have 70000 images in trash can but cannot empty iPhoto trash can why ?

If that 70,000 is your entire library just drag the library to the Trash bin in the Dock and empty it.
However, if you have other photos in the library that you want to keep the try this: go into iPhoto's General preference pane and uncheck the Show item counts checkbox:
and then try emptying the iPhoto Trash bin again.
If that fails and you don't use the Rating stars you can do the following: select all of the photos in the trash and Control-click to bringup the contextual menu. There will be the 5 stars for the ratings. Select either 5 or 1 to apply that rating to the photos.
Next create a smart album with the criteria:
selecting the number of start you applied to those in the Trash bin.
Move the photos from the Trash bin to the Library and the Smart Album will immediately be populated with those photos.
You can now select about 100 photos or so at a time and use the Command+Option+Delete key combination to move them back to the Trash bin and empty it. Repeat with groups of about 100 or so photos till they are all deleted. Then delete the Trash bin in the Dock to completely remove them from your hard drive.

Hi!
Just for future reference, I've moved my site to http://pondini.org, since Apple is dropping web hosting in June.
Both sites are active now; after a few days, I'll put redirect notices on the old one, then leave it there until it goes "poof."

ITunes cannot find but I can ( ! ) - how do I fix this?

I recently upgraded to a larger capacity drive and copied my library to the new drive but also kept a backup on the old drive. Now on the new drive, I have a ton of those exclamation points and iTunes cannot find a lot of the songs. It is making me find them one song at a time. How can I keep my new drive as the location where iTunes is stored (using the Advanced section of preferences for iTunes music folder location) but get iTunes to fix these that it cannot locate? And if I can locate them one at a time just by going back to the backup, why can't iTunes figure that out on its own? I'm not even sure why this happened, since I did the Consolidate and Keep iTunes folder organized functions when transferring to the new drive. Please help!

Hi - the original files were copied to the new drive and unfortunately, were deleted from the old drive. But what I do have on the old drive, and iTunes seems to be able to use it when it wants me to locate the songs one by one, is a backup copy of my library I made before the move to the new drive.
Since moving, I set the new drive location as where the iTunes folder is stored, and the song information is all in the library on the new drive, but it confuses me why that info is there but the "sound" isn't. The files that are affected seem to be mostly the first files I loaded on when I got iTunes in December. A lot came from Windows media. I wish I could understand why if it has me "locate" it, it can then fix the problem (although that has to be done song-by-song) but yet it cannot seem to link to the entire folder and I have to do this one song at a time. Would it be possible to put that backup folder on a CD, and create CD backups of my functioning library on the new drive, and then reinstall iTunes on the new drive using the multiple CDs? Would it let me use CD backups created in two different backups, and extract what each backup had to thus make my library complete again (between the two backups, that would be my entire library.)

Cannot find PPoE host, can connect to router but not internet

I've been having trouble since I tried using the router. At first, I had no security, then I set up the security and couldn't connect to the router. That finally solved, sometimes when trying to connect to the router, I get the message cannot find PPoE host. But, my connection continues to show that it is strong in the bar at the top.
So, I try to get on the internet -- Safari, Firefox -- no go.
I run network diagnostics and the first three settings are lit, but the ISP, Internet and Server all show as failed.
I'm connecting via airport and a linksys router.
Thanks for any help

You'll have to go into your router's settings and make sure they're correct. When you connect to the internet through a router, the router has to be set up with the appropriate IP information (like setting it for PPPoE). If you have set your router up properly, then all you have to do is connect your Mac to it, either wirelessly or over ethernet, and it should auto-configure if you have your Network settings on "DHCP" (not the manual DHCP, though). You will get an IP address assigned by your router if it worked.
Hope that helps. Networking is always confusing.

I need firefox 3.6.19 but cannot find it,,where can I find it?

I need 3.6.19 as I play fallensword and fallensword helper does not work with anything else...where can I find it please?

It appears that fallenswoed helper is a GreaseMonkey script, have you got the greaseMonkey Add-on installed ?
I imagine that 3.6.19 is a slightly earlier version missing a security update, compared with Firefox 3.6.20. It would be unusual for an application to not work in Firefox 3.6.20 if it works in 3.6.19
I note http://code.google.com/p/fallenswordhelper/wiki/Installation that from the installation notes fallenswordhelper seems to work with Firefox 4+

I need to reinstall the latest Pro X version (10.5 etc), but cannot find it. Can you guide me, please?

Hello! I recieved notification for a Logic Pro X, newest update and installed it. It's not working very well and I would like to reinstall it. However, I can't find the update to reinstall. Can anybody please point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Happy New Year!
Ronny Bee

It will be in the Purchases tab of the Mac App Store Application so lomg as you are sigtned in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase LPX in the first place. The version will be 10.0.5

I want to go back to Firefox 3.6 so I can use Torbutton - but I cannot find it - please can someone point me to Firefox 3.6? Thanks

Please can you point me to a place I can download the previous version of Firefox before version 4.0. The addon Torbutton is not compatible and I would rather have an older Firefox and still be able to use Torbutton. thanks

Thanks TonyE. I tried that. But the alpha version does not appear to work.
Please can someone just point me to the old FireFox? It was fine! I want it back!
HELP....

Very strange. In iPhoto '11, cannot find my Trash bin under RECENT category - -need to retrieve missing photos.

Hello. I have been trying to solve this for quite some time on my own.
I've been using iPhoto for years, and get all the upgrades. Working with iPhoto tonight, trying to set up two new Albums, it added my entire iPhoto library into the first new Album I created. When I deleted that, then I tried to create another new Album, this time it added 26 photos from a different Album. Very strange. I deleted that new Album, too. When I went back to the date and photos I was originally looking at, I noticed the two I was going to place in the new Album were missing.
That's when I looked up for the Trash bin, which I've usually found under the RECENT category, but now is entirely gone.
Oh no...
I don't understand what is going on. If anyone has any clues, I would be most grateful for your insight.

Hello Terence,
Thanks for your rapid response. To answer your question, under RECENT, I currently see Last Import, Last 18 Months, Flagged, and...
Well, this is wonderful, the Trash is back again, right where it was before. I have also checked the photos that were missing, and they are back right where they were supposed to be.
Now I am wondering if this is a iPhoto '11 problem in general, since I noticed there were quite a number of other entries on the iPhoto discussion page on similar subjects, ranging from Trash trouble to missing photos this evening. Might there be anything to this?
It is great that in my case, it's all been restored. Next time, I will just quit iPhoto and re-open it again. Perhaps even restarting my Mac might well have been a good enough idea.
That was a close call. Thanks very much.

and also the java files in the same folder
and i created the jar file and placed it in the lib folder of ROOT.
but when i am trying to run the html file and submit the form it says HTTP:404 FILE NOT FOUND ERROR..
Can anyone please help me where i am going wrong....
Thanks & Regards
Lavanya

[<form action="\example\classes.ShowParameters" method="post">[
this is wrong
change it to
<form action="/Example.html" method="post">
beacause you have specified
<url-pattern>/Example.html</url-pattern>
this is how you map a request to a servlet
its better if you chage it like this
<form action="/Example." method="post">
In web.xml
<url-pattern>/Example</url-pattern>
