Moving Rejected to Trash

I have rejected a number of duplicate movie clips previously moved from iPhoto, but I now cannot move them to trash (either by using the relevant button or from the toolbar. Am I missing something, is this a bug, and is there a way out of this?

If you have clips that are rejected AND the rejected section of the clip is used in one of your projects, iMovie won't move those clips to the trash.
Another option is to use "Delete Unused" which will delete just the clips and sections of clips that are not used by any of your projects. Delete Unused is available when you select an Event (one that is used by a Project) and go to File->Move Event to Trash. A dialog shows up with "Delete Unused" button.
Both "Move Rejected to Trash" and "Delete Unused" can be time consuming (in some cases it has to split up and write out new clips for you) so plan accordingly. Best wishes.

My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

It helps if you provide details - not just a problem
What exactly dod you have and have you done?
What version of iPhoto did you have and what version do you now have? Of the OS? If you are upgrading from iphoto '08 or earlier did you download and RUN the iphoto library upgrader?

Move rejected to trash doesn't work

I used space saver to reject videos that were not in the project or labeled with a keyword, and they are clearly marked as rejected. But when I click on "move to trash", nothing happens.
I really need the space on my computer. Is there any way to clear these from the iMovie memory?
The solutions that I find in the earlier threads haven't worked.

hi. similar problem here. i've marked whole bunch of clips and parts of clips as rejected. then switched to "view rejected only" and hit "move rejected to trash" button. nothing happens.. trash stays empty and rejected clips aren't going anywhere.
would appreciate your thoughts and solutions.
i have a feeling it has to do with the fact that these rejected clips are imported from iphoto (movies made with photo camera) and still physically stored (checked using "reveal in finder" in the iphoto library). But even if that's the reason it's still really strange imovie doesn't give a warning or explanation.
Aarrggh. So much valuable time for stupid software bugs..
Thanks

The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped. How do I get it back?

The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped. How do I get it back?

First quit and restart Mail and see if the sound returns. BTW it is selected in Settings > Sounds correct?
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
If that doesn't work try a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

I accidentally moved Excel to Trash, after 'put back' it still doesn't open?

Let me clear, my Excel was working perfectly before I did this.
I had put the excel shortcut on the desktop, and I moved it to trash because I didn't need the icon on the desktop. I tried to open Exel on the dock, but it didn't open and said that you have to remove it from trash in order to open it. So, after removal from trash (using "put back" option), I clicked on the icon on the desktop now. It didn't open. Even with the dock icon, it displayed this message:
The error message displayed is:
"Microsoft Excel cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft Excel works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
This report will be sent to apple automatically."
Community, please help and advise.
I am using Microsoft Office 2011.

When I try to open Iphoto is comes up saying I need to prepare this version of iphoto with an upgrader. I have installed it many times but it still goes back to the original window telling me I need to upgrade
But did you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader after you installed it? The installer will install the iPhoto Library Upgrader in the folder Utilities in the Applications folder. Launch the upgrader and select your iPhoto library. After it finishes, try to run iPhoto again. (See: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader)
Be sure to make a backup copy of your iPhoto library, before you try to open and to upgrade it. That is safer, because in some rare cases the upgrade can corrupt the library.

Accidentally Deleted Movie, or Moved it to Trash

I finished a movie in iMovie and apparently deleted it or perhaps moved it to trash. Is there a different trash can in iMovie, different than the trash on my mac?
Is there a way to restore the movie?

I just ran a quick test with interesting results. I deleted an iMovie 9 Event, found it in Trash, copied it to a folder outside of Trash, then used File/Import/Movies and found the undeleted folder. I selected Copy, not Move (I didn't trust what may happen by moving & possibly losing the file). It appears the movie files are at the top level (and are the largest files). I selected ONE file and it imported okay. I then attempted to import the other 3 files and after a long processing wait, none appeared in the Event (no idea where they went or why it didn't work). However, when I imported the files individually, they each appeared in the desired Event. This appears to be how we undelete an Event.
I hope you still have the files in the Trash for this to work. Good luck.

Prompted for Password when Moving Item to Trash

Whenever I attempt to send anything from my Startup Disk to the Trash (This problem only happens when moving to the trash from the Startup disk, not with my external hard drive or any USB drives attached) it prompts for my Administrator Username and Password. When I do that, the file then skips the trash and is deleted immediately. Items already in the trash are seemingly unnaffected.
I did some research online, which led me to believe it might be my trashes.db file. I followed some steps to fix this file in the UNIX Terminal, but I can't do that without a SU (SuperUser) account, so I enabled the root account and used that for the repair. However, nothing has changed and I am continuing to see this problem.
I am running OS X Lion, 10.7.2, and it is a 2010 Mac Mini. I am an administrator account and I have access to UNIX sudo commands through the root user set up on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to both for your replies.
Eric,
Thanks much for that link and the Apple Token workaround. That did the trick!
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best,
Andre

IMovie: Unable to "Move Rejected to Trash"

When rejecting a clip in iMovie, I then found it impossible to move that clip to the trash. Clicking the "Move Rejected to Trash" button had absolutely no effect.
I found that the reason for this is that I had imported those movies from iPhoto, where I had originally brought them in from the camera. Closing iMovie, deleting the files in iPhoto, emptying the trash in iPhoto, and then relaunching iMovie solved the problem.

Any suggestions as to what is happening?
This seems to be a periodic bug for many users. Best advice is not to import what you don't plan to use. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to know which is which beforehand. If you haven't started building you project yet, you can always select the entire clip in the Event and use the "Contextual Menu" to reveal the location of the file you wish to delete. Then, in the finder, you can delete the file, delete the associated "Cache" and "Thumbnails" folders, close the application, and re-open it. Re-opening the application forces iMovie to re-thumbnail the event without the missing but unwanted file. (Have not tried this after using any of the Event contents in a Project as I assume it might break the project path references and I have never been that interested in taking a chance just to find out.)

Well its kind of hard to decode your english (no offense! I'm just not sure I understand what you mean)
Let's do some tests.
First check if your user belongs to the "storage" group (have a look at /etc/group or open a terminal and as root type
grep <your-username> /etc/group
Youwill get a list of groups your user belongs to. One should look like this: storage:x:95:<your-username>,hal
If storage is not part of that list, add your user to this group (as root):
gpasswd -a <your-username> storage
Next test: open a terminal in your users home directory and do
touch test.txt
This should just create an empty file named test.txt.
You won't get output if it worked, so you may check if it really was created with
ls -l
That will list the content of the directory. You should see test.txt there, probably other files too.
If this fails the drive is probably mounted read-only (I see no reason this should be the case in your fstab but better be sure). Btw. is it an internal drive or let's say external USB-Harddisk?
If the above works you know at least that the drive is mounted read-write and that you have write permissions in you home-folder as it should be.
Next Step: try deleting the file again witch
rm test.txt
and check again with the ls -l if it was deleted.
None of this will immediately solve your problem but we might get a hint what is going wrong...
If you get any error messages post them here.
Sorry but I don't understand what you mean with "but I can not root as you can send files to the trash"
You mean you can't become root at all or just that deleting the files as root is not practical for every day use? (It sure isn't that was just to test if the drive is mounted read-write.)

After installing an update (on an iMac), can the installer (.dmg) be moved to the trash?

After installing an update (on an iMac of any sort), can the installer (.dmg) be moved to the trash?

If the update is an OS installer, you might want to consider moving it to a folder of an external backup drive for safe keeping. Why? Because Apple removes earlier OS versions when a new one is introduced; there are several threads here about not being able to download Mavericks.
Just a thought. I keep copies of all OS installers. That will come in handy shortly as I just purchased a refurb 2012 iMac because it can run/boot with Mountain Lion which I need for a couple of (important to me) software applications. I have a copy of an ML installer tucked away and ready to go.

HT1751 I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays The item "iTunes" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.

I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays: The item “iTunes” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.

Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...
