Image in trash is "locked" and unable to delete...help?!

Hi all.
Relatively new to the Mac world. My wife shut down our iMac 17"C2D the other day and when restarted, a couple of photos showed up in the trash inside a folder called "restore" with a new name. Those same photos are still in iphoto (with their original name), but when I empty the trash a warning comes up that says "unable to delete these files, files are locked".
Anyone know what that is and how I can delete them?
Thanx much
iMAC 17" Core 2 duo/2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Click on the file, Get Info (from the File menu or Command-I) and look a bit down in the General category for the "Locked" item. If the box is checked, just uncheck it.
If you have a bunch of files that all say that they're locked, or the Locked checkbox isn't checked, give Trash It! (freeware) a try.
Hope this helps.

TS3297 Apple ID is locked and unable to make purchases

When I try to puchase an Album I get an error that says "Apple ID is locked and unable to make purchases"

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

HT1212 I forgot my passcode and i have no backup of my Ipad, it is locked and disabled, can anyone help to restore factory settings atleast as a new ipad

Hey salosawaya,
If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
via: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Ipod locked and unable to unlock

i have been having some problems w/ my ipods hard drive. i think i was able to fix the problem but a new one arrived. my ipod is locked and i am unable to unlock it. everything else appears fine but i just can't unlock it. i plugged it into my computer and it synced w/ itunes just fine. so i tried to reset it and toggle the hold button. i tried to reset it w/ the select and menu button. i tried to restore it but that didnt' work either. i was just wondering if there was a way to unlock it through itunes or if there is anything else that i might be able to do to unlock it.
thanks

Hi. From what I've learned, you have to restore it, which will erase the hard drive so you better have everything backed up if you want it back. I'm still doing that...have yet to attempt the magical "restore"...if that even works. Did you know that if your warranty is expired, they can charge you $30 bucks to help you...over the phone! Stupid update! Good luck.

Mail not responding and unable to delete messages moved to trash

*I have been unable to delete any messages from my trash. I get a message: an error occurred while moving messages to mailbox "trash on my mac". Then I get a spinning disc and have to wait so I can force quite mail. I can not use the help while in mail as nothing will respond. When I finally get the force quite to work and I long back on all the messages that I tried to move to trash and delete are still there.*
*Any help anyone can share would be most helpful. This has been happening all day today whenever I log on to Mail.*
*Thank you for your time.*

Actually it will happen again, you can wait for it. It usually takes a few months and the entire cycle starts again. Apple knows perfectly well that mail is not working as it should for many years, especially in combination with Mobile Me synchronization. Don't be mistaken in the end nothing will help not vacuum your mailbox except removing your plist file and rebuilding it. With the Mobile Me that is not even able to alphabetically order your mail accounts it would be fun when you have numerous email accounts. Good luck. If I had the possibility to switch to another emailer I would have done so many years ago. However I am stuck with DMI from Marketcircle.

Try to hold the sleep and home keys for about 20-30 seconds. See if you can force it to reboot.
My iPad did something similar, as did my iPod. I charged it and it turned black, the screen wouldn't turn on but the insides were still working. A reset brought it back.

Using Iphoto on my iMac and unable to delete photos. Try all the different ways and they don't work. Any suggestions?

I have loaded pictures on my IMac from disc from camera. Now am trying to delete some of the pictures from my computer and none of the delete techniques work. Can't figure what else to do. My Iphoto seems a little unstable and I wonder if there is something wrong with the soft ware. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim G.

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurances of that photo in the library.

HT5137 Pages App stuck saying waiting and unable to delete. how do i fix this?

My pages app has been stuck saying waiting for the last few days. When i press it is unresponsive and i am unable to delete it. How do i fix this?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
