With Snow Leopard if you delete a file (put it the trash) and then do a secure delete it's gone.
The OP is adressing SSD's in particular. Neither Snow Leopard nor Lion have the ability to secure erase an SSD of a single file by user action. This because SSD's write data in pages, but can only delete in blocks. Secure emptying of the trash on an SSD is no different than a non-secure erase, as the controller will not permit erasure of blocks until the entire block is freed, which is almost never the case with even group file deletion. Erasure is simply the re-writing of the "allocation table" that the pages are no longer in use.
SSD's are only rendered "erased" of previous data after an indeterminate period of use, and re-use that would eventually free blocks for re-write, and then actually over-written.
TRIM helps speed this process, but does not alleviate the block versus page issue.
Some additional info.

Is there any way to turn off the download function in safari offline reading list?
Is there any way to turn off the download function in safari offline reading list?
Don't think so. The point of the offline reading list is to allow you to read it later without going online. It has to download the content to make this possible.

Is there any way to permanently delete/disable keychain on 10.8?
Hey guys,
This is my first post in the Apple support forum.
I work in the I.T helpdesk office for a leading australian University.
Currently we have roughly 600 apple based computers running in our network, a problem i come across the most is the Keychain.
The company i work for has a policy that requires end users to change their passwords every 6 months, unfortunatly their login details are changed but their keychain is not thus creating password conflicts, account lockouts etc.
Is there any way i can just disable the keychain so its not required any more
Im pretty sure theirs not possible but it cant hurt to ask, theres a very strong chance that theres someone out there who's figured it outeven if that were possible, you wouldn't want to do that as Keychain stores numerous certificates, which are needed to verify the authenticity of secure connections.

Is there any way to clear/delete the diagnostics and usage data on an iPad Mini?
I'm trying to download an app and it was about 1.28 GB. I did not have enough storage to download it, so I was wondering if there was any way to delete them from my iPad to save some storage.
I have always deleeted itunes downloads (mostly tv shows) from this location:
Settings>General>Usage>Storage
Since the OS upgrade the video section there says "no data". Now I am getting the message that new vidoes can not be downloaded due to lack of storage. I can't figure out how to delete the videos I no longer want on my iPad mini. I have them in my Purchased list. I can download them (when I have space) and watch them, but I can't find any way to delete downloaded ones any more. Thanks. nf -
I am not familiar with IPad usage but wondered if there is a way to remove all my emails without removing everything else, ie: photos, songs..? Does a restore erase everything? Thanks!
I cannot delete an email address that was also an Apple ID for awhile. It keeps coming up as an "email return to" address on compose in gmail.
As a result, I removed all mention of it in my keychain and cancelled it in Google. I called Apple support and for awhile was able to use time
machine to restore it, then lost all my addresses again. My iPad mini has addresses on it but I'm concerned that if it syncs with my Macbook Air
the iPad addresses will disappear also. How can I prevent an unwanted sync? -

Is there any way to recover deleted movies off of events that were not in the editing box
i just want to know
Are you referring to "rejected" clips?
If so, you can either use the Unmark Selected Video Button (star outline button in toolbar) or the Show dropdown menu and choose Rejected Only.
Not sure what you mean by "editing box" either. Do you mean the Project window?

When messages app is used, phone frequently freezes and the same thing happens when I open other applications on the phone. Any suggestions to fix this problem without resetting the whole entire phone?
Nick this is what is said in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Any way to permanently change the source?
Got an eMac and an Intel-based Mac mini, both running 10.5 with all current updates. The mini contains my iTunes-managed movie library. I can use Front Row on the eMac to access the mini's movie library, but I need to change its source from the local iTunes library (which is empty on the eMac) to the mini. Not a problem, but it's annoying to have to do this all the time.
Is there any way to permanently change the source on the eMac so that it always points to the mini?Anyone? Anyone?

I deleted emails from VIPs in Apple Mail and didn't realise they would be deleted from my Mailbox. I have tried to restore from Time Machine but VIPs doesn't appear. Is there any way I can retrieve the deleted emails? I also have bachups on an external hard drive.
I have OS X 10.9.2You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com. If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it. (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album. Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored. Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another. Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album. -
I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?
Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it. -
Is there any way to actually delete messages from my iPhone? I have already synced my iPhone, updated it, and deleted all of my backups but the messages I have "deleted" still appear in the spotlight search.
If you already have an iPhone backup or an iCloud backup, just follow the instructions on the page below
