I have 81,934 items in my trash. Having trouble deleting it. Is it using valuable space?

At first I didn't realize how long it would take to delete 81k items, so when I first tried months ago I had assumed it didn't work-because it didn't seem to be moving. The setting was set to "secure delete". I left the trash to delete securely for 12 hours and it is finally empty. Embarrassing :-( THANKS!!

Have a new itouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: Apple Application software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTues again. Error 2.

I have a new iTouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: "Apple Application Software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2." I have uninstalled and tried installing again and get the same error message. What do i need to do?
Lg

Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

I have an iPhone 5c. Just started having trouble texting to certain numbers. I send a message, they receive it (most of the time) but it also comes back to me saying not delivered. Also, their texts to me are delayed, sometimes 4hours and sometimes more?!

iMessages. I have gone into settings and turned off iMessages for one minute then reactivated it. Then I turned off network settings and then back on again. Today I'll try and restore the phone again to see if that works. Frustrating!

There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting. With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

Congrats on your recent upgrade actionkatie! I am sorry to learn of the difficulties you are experiencing with your Samsung Galaxy S4. Let's get to the bottom of this because we want you to love your phone.
I understand you have done all necessary troubleshooting steps that should have enabled you to send messages to iPhone users without them having to disable iMessage. Have you tried contacting Apple Support regarding the inability to send a text message to iPhone users? Apple can be reached at (800) 275-2273.
In addition, do you get a certain error message when your WiFi stops working? Have you verifed that Auto Switch network is disabled? To disable this setting simply to go Settings > Wi-Fi > Tap the Menu Key(to the left of the home button) > Select Advanced and it is called `Auto network switch.

I have the iPhone 4 and I am having trouble updating to iOS7

I have the iPhone 4 and I am having trouble updating to iOS7. Though I initially didn't care about updating, I can't download certain apps without updating to i0S7. I have tried to update while wireless and while connected to iTunes, but it is saying that I do not have enough storage space to update. I have heard that I can remove the music from my iPhone (creating space), update my phone to i0S 7 and then put my music back onto my iPhone, but how do I go about doing this? I don't want to make a mistake and lose all of my music. Does anyone know of another way that I can update without having to delete more music, photos, apps etc. ?

As long as your music is in iTunes, you can delete it from your iPhone no problem. iTunes will not change. You cannot update if you do not have enough space, so if you can remove that music and some photos, it should work then.

Cellular calling doesn't yet work reliably.
Make sure you've followed the instructions in this support article. Note that both iCloud and FaceTime on the Mac must be signed in to the same Apple ID; those are two separate steps. Also note that the Mac and the phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Ethernet won't work. Trying to pair the phone to the Mac as a Bluetooth device won't work either.
If cellular calling still doesn't work, sign out of FaceTime and sign back in. You may have to do the same on the phone. The email address that you use as your Apple ID must be able to receive FaceTime calls.

I have an older IPOD that I'm having trouble getting new purchases on to my IPOD. I use to have a source list on the left hand side of screen where I dragged my purchases to and they downloaded. Can't find place to check manual vs. auto sync.

I have an older IPOD classic that I'm having trouble getting new purchases from library to IPOD. I use to have a IPOD icon in the source list on the left side of the screen. Now that is all gone. My purchases are coming up as recently purchased but can't figure out how to get them transferred to IPOD. I also can't find how to confirm setting is for manual not auto sync as the first computer I had blew up and am now using a different one. I haven't had any of these problems prior to the updates.

G'day Mate,

I am now going to do as you suggest and see what happens.

Are you talking about iPhoto? If you are please post this in the iPhoto forum, thanks!

I have 2 iphoto libraries. How can I delete one? I have tried to put one in trash but it deletes both. Help

I was transfering photos from an external hard disk. While doing this somehow or another I created another library. I have an additional icon on my desktop. I tried to put it in the trash but then it deletes iphoto from the computer. I just would like to get rid of the icon without deleting iphoto.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you've copied your iPhoto library to an external disk, it's normal that it appears. Anyway, open iPhoto holding Option key and look at the library you want to delete. At the bottom of the window, you must see the directory where it's, so just go here and delete your library

Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Have new 1.5 Tb drive and having trouble configuring.

This is a strange question but heres whats happening. I installed snow leopard on this new drive I bought because I use my computer for work and I did not want to upgrade my main disk before knowing all my apps work. Trouble is now every time I open photo shop it says its not licensed anymore on this machine? So the questions are a. do i have to reinstall all the programs on this HD to make them run.
The other question is since my original disc was only 250gb and now its pretty much completely full with just applications and running pretty slow, how do I go about sharing apps between the two drives if I do decide to make both disks leopard snow? Can I just drag the application folder over to the new 1.5 tb disk.
Basically I want both drives to act as one large drive with multiple partitions.
Sorry if my question is vague/

This is what I am doing
I boot from the snow leopard drive,
I open photoshop cs4 from the applications folder on the HD with 10.5.8 on it
There is an error saying that photoshop needs to be re-authorized.
Do I need to reinstall photoshop on the leopard snow HD if the HD that photoshop is installed on is running 10.5.8?
In the future say I install snow on both drives. What if I install a program like photoshop or logic studio on only 1 of the drives. Does this mean that all the third party plug ins that I have must be installed on the same disk so that there accessed correctly?

Hello,
I have a Mac OS X. I just had some memory installed and had to update my Mail and had a ton of old mail still there. Since then, my mail has crawled so slow and I have tried to delete my old emails and I keep getting this error message "the operation couldn't be completed. Input/Output error". Any suggestions?
Thanks!
