Images will not delete, or do not wind up in trash as expected

Since I upgraded to LR 3, I am not able to delete images from a library without getting an error message that says something to the effect that 'unable to delete from selected drive.' It then goes on to offer the choice 'delete anyway?' which I choose and choose also 'delete from disk' which should throw it into the trash, at least that is what LR 2 used to do. Now, when I choose 'delete anyway' it winds up that: the items are removed from the library and there are the files missing from where they were stored on my external hard drive, where I've always worked with my image storage, but there is nothing in the trash. So where did the images go? They are not in the trash. Were they moved to some undisclosed location?
Would love to get this resolved as I must be building a huge pile of deleted files somewhere.
TIA,
Ken

A similar (but not the same) problem was noted at this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/881730 which also provides a possible solution at http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10357452-263.html. I am not a full Mac convert but if you try this you need to be careful with the syntax.

This is as close to a correct answer as we are going to get at this time, is my guess, so I'm marking this as the 'Correct Answer.'
Thank You Jeff,

Disk Images will not mount and Disk Utility will not runru

I am having some major problems with Disk Utility, Disk Images, and software update. First, Disk utility will not open or run. When I double-click the application icon, nothing happens, no message, nothing. I am running OSX 10.4.11. I have deleted diskutility prefs. I am able to run Disk Utility from the Startup DVD of Tiger. On first run, it verified and repaired permissions. I run verify and repair permissions several more times from Startup DVD and everything is fine. But Disk Utility on my startup HD will not work. Similary, NONE of my disk images will mount. No matter what Disk Image i try to mount, nothing will. And I cannot use Disk utility to mount them! So, no matter what I download, no images will mount. And thirdly, when I try to run software update, it will not work. I do get a message: it says, "Could not load Software Update." Finally, i tried to download Onyx to delete log files, etc.. but again, the disk image will not mount. I was able to install a dashboard widget called "maintidget" and was successful in running the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks. Can anyone help? Everything else works fine!!! All apps! Safari, Mail, iTunes, MS Office, everything works fine. Thanks for ANY help!

Previously, I had run verify permissions, repair permissions multiple times(from startup DVD) - no probems found. Deleted disk utility prefs. Run the maintenance taskes (daily, weekly, monthly). Nothing worked. But, I forget to check the drive for problems. So I ran disk scan. It found "invalid node" and repair disk could not do it. So, do I erase and do a fresh install or get DiskWarrior? I am running Leopard so I do not have Time Machine but I have backed up my documents, iTunes Library, iPhoto Library, etc... Another thing I found out the hardway is to sync all your bookmarks, mail settings and messages, etc... with .mac if you have an account. Any more suggetions?

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

Banner image will not display in Dreamweaver; can you help?

Banner image will not display in Dreamweaver; can you help?

If the banner image is not displaying, it is either not in an acceptable web file format (optimized for web as jpg, gif or png). Or it is corrupted. Or the path to the image file on server is broken.
It's impossible to say more without a link to your problem page.

Fash Images will not load with Firefox

Currently Flash images will not auto load with Firefox on my mac 10.4. All flash images show with an arrow I must click to make them appear every time I visit a page.
I do have the most updated version of Flash (10.2.152.33). I have checked their site for all troubleshooting possibilities as well as the FF forum & nothing has made these images auto load. I do have load Images automatically in my Preferences: Content. This is only happening with Firefox & not all browsers.
I do remember having to add some Security: Install Add-On Exceptions a few updates back in FF back when I had this problem. Adding them fixed the problem, however the next update made the issue reoccur. I've looked for additional exceptions & possibilities to include & found nothing. My current list of add on exceptions include: addons.mozilla.org, getpersonas.com, & update.mozilla.org. Removing these does not fix the problem & re-entering them does not fix the problem. All flash images still show as arrows that must be clicked to load to view for my Firefox browser only. This does not occur in any other browser.

alright. I've found that Firefox has a Flashblock setting & I have found a way to disable it if I customize & add an icon to my toolbar however I would like to learn how to change that setting without having to add that icon. Where in the settings does it allow me to change/adjust the flashblock?

Images will not appear on Stage area of Adobe Flash Professional

I have Adobe Flash Professional CS5.
Yesterday I successfully created an animation.
Later the same day I tried to create another and the images will not appear on the stage.
I loaded in PNG files - which worked the first time - now they will not show up.
I can see their binding boxes on the stage, and move those but the images just do not show up.
When I hit ctrl + enter to preview, I can see the images in the preview movie - just not on the stage working area!
I tried restarting, shutting down, updating my PC, uninstalling programs, loading different file types (jpg), and resaving and reloading the PNG files. I even tried different types of Flash defaults. NOTHING WORKS.
I hope someone can tell me what is wrong this makes no sense!

Before you drag the image from the library to your stage, make sure you insert a blank keyframe (F6) on the layer you are working with, then drag to stage. This worked for me.

Thumbnails of images will not show

When using bridge on some of my computers, thumbnails of images will not show, only a generic .eps icon. We are trying to view files from an Art Explosions CD library and are using Bridge CS6 V 5.0.0.399

Check this:
Project - Properties - Flex Compiler - Additional compiler options: -use-network=true

Disk image will not initialize.

After downloading several times, disk image will not initialize. Dialog box -"The following disk images couldn't be opened Firefox 33.0.2 not recognized."
Mac OSX 7.5.2

Thanks for the reply - unfortunately I can not see the Firefox Disk image, the file that I downloaded shows up, but does not create the Disk Image required to begin the installation process.
I have re-downloaded the file from Mozilla several times with the same result.

My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails. I have to open each one to see what photo it is. This has just recently started to happen.

I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked. This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

IPhoto images will not appear in Media browser

After updating my iLife apps (iLife '09), iPhoto images no longer appear in my media browser. In iMovie, it just says "Loading iPhoto Images", but never does. I am using a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 and 2 GB memory. Images will not appear in iDVD either. Anyone have any thoughts?

Do you still have the old library? Rebuilding it with iPhoto Library Manager would preserve most of your work.
This will creates a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Disc Image will not mount after format

I am trying to create a disc image from DVD Pro so that I can burn the final project at a low speed to avoid burn errors. Whenever I try to burn the image to DVD in Disc Utility it says that the file is not recognized. I have even tried to start the project from scratch and still am getting the same error message. Another weird thing that DVDSP is doing that is odd is when I am build and format, the log shows a ton of error messages saying that random files will not be included on the final DVD. Please help, I cannot figure oout what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Leon

Leon:
Warning: The file ‘2007KIAC_BBTOURNY.layout’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
Warning: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
These are standard wraning. Nothing to take care about.
After deleting the old build empty your trash and try again. If DVDSP ask to reuse, you must be building to another location than where you think. Check that.
Hope that helps !

Some images will not be removed from LR catalog

I was cleaning up the catalog by removing files that were flagged "reject" and not on the HDDs any longer.
In LR Grid view, show "all images"
Filter by "rejected only"
Select all, Cmd+backspace > Remove
Lightroom deselects all, then goes on to "remove" and stalls after the progress bar got at about 10%.
Force quit LR, second try identical.
Updated LR from 2.3 to 2.4
Same problem
Tried the same on a recent backup catalog. Same result.
Finally managed to get rid of most of the rejected & deleted images by using "Sync folder", and it appears I might have found the problem (but not yet the solution):
LR somehow "remembers" 190 images from an old shoot: These images were also in LR in a different folder. Removing that folder from LR didn't give an error, but didn't solve the issue.
Here's a screenshot. Images on the right are actually on the HDD. Images on the left (represented by "empty" thumbnails) are *not* in the LR catalog. LR also knows this, as it will not show the folder of the "ghost images" in the library.
The "empty" thumbnails and corresponding thumbs in the bottom are gray until you mouse over them or scroll...
My images are either on external HDDs or on a secondary internal HDD. LR catalog on secondary internal HDD.
Mounting / unmounting of the externals makes no difference.
Plenty memory and free disk space.
For the rest LR is working fine. Not lightning fast, but hey, it's a G5 .
No error messages. Catalog back ups & optimizes without error message.
Tried creating a new catalog, and import this one:
The old catalog isn't *that* huge (about 11k images), and about 330Mb.
LR is about 30% into "Checking Photo Locations", and it appears to be stalling... Processor usage of about 3% No disk activity that I can see. Cancel just cancels, without any dialog.
Tried a few times & it just doesn't seem to work.
Exporting the latest images to a catalog also does nothing (no dialog, no action).
Started a new catalog, imported the latest batch of images again, and hope for the best.
Still, a solution would be nice. I do *not* fancy importing 11000 images again.
In the new catalog, export as catalog works, so there's definitely something wonky in the old catalog...

Rene-
Mounting of externals where you are giving the command to delete images will certainly make a difference. Don't know if that's part of your problem or not, but in general, LR doesn't always do well with the X followed by Cmd-Delete (Mac)- sometimes it will say there aren't any, and I'll just repeat and there they are. I have tended to delete after a session, so never deleted more than say 50 images at once.
I'd continue deleting all you have so marked, then go through and hook up images with the ? mark, followed by deleting the Previews folder if the first two steps don't help. This latter is radical, but sometimes the Previews folder gets frazzled. What size .lrcat and what size Previews folder?

Sparse Disk Image will not open along with encrypted document

I have two problems. I created a sparse disk image of my documents folder and encrypted it but recently when I select it and double click it to open it up nothing happens. I put in my password and in the finder window it shows the image but no documents folder will open up.
I ran disk utility and disk warrior and all is okay on my hard drive. I did burn a CD of the files in this folder so I do have a backup but wondered why it will not open up now, any suggestions?
The second problem is in this same folder, I created a word document years ago when I had my old G3 iMac and used at times MS Word 2000. At the time, I locked this Word document, and now it is encrypted and it won't open up. I can't remember the password used back in 2000 and so this document is encrypted and I don't know how to decrypt it, any suggestions.
I do know there are software programs to delete passwords in MS Word and that they will decrypt my document, but the ones I try to download won't work. Any suggestions.
Thanks,
DaisyMay

A follow up to my MS word document. I found that I created the file in MS word 2000, and I used the Apple File Security for OS 9 to encrypt it. I can't remember the password, and I do not find anything in the key chain listing.
I have Pages 08, but I don't think I can use it if I can't remember the password to unlock this old document. Is there a program to decrypt this without a password?
Thanks,
DaisyMay
