My basket won't empty!

I recently wanted to buy radiohead's latest album but there was no price shown on the iTunes store.
After I tried to buy some other music, the store won't let me saying that my basket needs to be updated. No action will let me buy anything alse and Radiohead's album is stucked in my basket with no price and no possibility to buy or even delete it! Any other album or song are deletable but not this particular album.
Funny enough, I was able to buy Radiohead's In rainbows through my wi-fi Ipod touch ...
I am tempted by trying to re-install Itunes (already have the latest 7.5 version)

Can you tell us what happens when you try to Empty the Trash? Frankly, I'm not sure why you are using the keyboard shortcut you wrote down because there is no such animal.
You can Empty the Trash by selecting Empty Trash from the Finder's Finder menu or by pressing SHIFT-COMMAND-DELETE. Or you can CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the Trashcan and select Empty from the context menu.
If you continue to have a problem then try using Trash It! 5.1.

  • Super stubborn files in Trash - won't empty!

    Hi all,
    a few days ago i deleted 2 files from my windows partition by dragging them strait to the trash in osx.
    Since than, the trash won't empty!
    I found quite a few ultimate trash guides, and I've tried EVERYTHING -
    1. secure empty trash says "The finder can't complete the oparation because some data in "" can't be read or written (error code -36)".
    2. forcing empty by holding the option button - nothing.
    3. using the commands in the terminal (sudo, rm...) - nothing.
    4. the files don't appear in the terminal when i use the ls command (enabeling viewing of hidden files)
    5. repairing hd permissions - fixes quite a few errors but trash still wont empty.
    6. checking the disk through windows 7 via bootcamp - nothing (files dont exist)
    7. 3rd party apps - nothing (i tried about 5 different programs).
    8. i even tried restoring my system via time machine - files are still there!!
    Please help, what else must i do???
    Thanks,
    Daniel.

    *Trash Problems*
    If trash can't delete because an item is busy, try restarting the computer.
    If trash won't delete because an item is locked, try holding down the option key when emptying the trash.
    Try booting to Safe Mode (hold down the shift key while booting, restart may take a long time but let it go), sometimes just doing that works. Restart normally.

  • IPhoto Trash won't empty

    I just realized my iPhoto Trash won't empty. When I click on it the software crashes. There are about 800 images in the Trash. I tried restoring about half of them to their albums and then emptying Trash -- but same thing -- Crash. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

    In iPhoto Preferences turn off "Show Item Counts." Quit iPhoto. Launch iPhoto. Empty Trash. Quit again. Launch again and see if the Trash emptied properly.

  • I have one thing in trash that won't empty.  What to do?

    I have a file that is the name of my desktop that is a copy of backup.   Not even sure how it got there.   But trash won't empty it.  It's a folder of 182 items so it needs to be deleted.
    How to do that?
    Thanks, Tzipora

    Alberto, did you give up on me?   I think there's a major corruption now that started with iphoto corruption.  Then I moved to trashing a lot of extra stuff.   Now, can't open trash because it's frozen into 'move to trash' mode.  So, can't shut down my computer either since Finder is now busy with all this.
    Seems my whole computer is in trouble.  Thankfully I can still send these notes.  
    Someone out there that can help?   I need to get rid of the frozen 'moving to trash window' before anything else.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tzipora

  • I deleted my Time Machine backups using Finder, now the trash won't empty

    Hello
    I've just been to the Apple genius bar and thought this was solved, there the trash emptied no problem.  But I realized that the problem has to do with two external drives that have time machine backups on them.  I deleted some of the older back ups because my drive was filling up and I didn't see any other way to delete them. 
    Now they can't be reinstated back where they were, and the trash won't empty using any method.  I've even tried the Terminal SUMO methods on here and other sites, and the Trashi It app, and Cocktail app - nothing works. 
    The only solutions I've found say to wipe your back up drive completely and start over but that is NOT an option as I have ALL of my photos on there.  I use my external drive for my images (I am a photographer) and use time machine to back up my MacBookPro onto there as well.  I had no idea deleting those was going to be an issue.  Now I've tried to delete other things on both external drives and they are all stuck in the trash. 
    Someone please help!

    Not a good idea, as you've learned the hard way. 
    And especially bad in the same partition, as you can't just erase the TM partition.
    Plus, how do you back up the images?
    For best results, consider getting another external HD; one for the images, and one for TM.  Then you can have Time Machine back up both your Mac and the external.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations.
    But my question for Pondini is this - if I use that command will it erase that entire drive, or just the trash on it?
    Just the trash folders.  I've reworded those instructions a bit, hopefully more clearly and safely, and put them in #E6 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

    I have the same problem. I can put things into the trash, but when i empty the trash it makes the crumple noise like its throwing it away and the files stay in the trash and the icon stays full. I have 10.7.2. I also have Parallels installed on my machine.
    Before this problem, I was unable to add files to my trash can and then I removed this program called CleanMyMac, which I guess wasn't compatible with Lion, and now I can at least add items to the trash can. It seems I am having a lingering issue due to that program.
    I have a case with Apple Senior Support Analysts and they can't figure it out...
    Please help!! I do not want to format and start all over just to empty my trash can
    I also do not want to install Trash It (which would empty the trash i've heard) but will not resolve my issue only cover it up.
    Thanks!!

  • HT1526 trash won't empty no matter what I tried

    I had this problem before and I had fixed it after spending at least 3 or 4 hours online reading information from others, now after installing this new osx whatever, it brought back the bad trash again, which won't empty.. it says you cant open the trash now because it is being used for another task.. it shows that there are 3 documents it is trying to empty but it is doing nothing.. and there are no 'x' button so I can't kill it.. can someone give me a tip. I have already installed the 'trash it application but it is not working now since the trash is occupied. HELP apple!

    So, you've tried doing a secure empty trash, and you've tried holding the option key down when choosing to empty the trash, or holding the shift and option keys when choosing to empty the trash? If you've tried those and they haven't worked, see this Apple note and read the last section on deleting locked files. OnyX also has a force trash empty function.

  • Bin won´t empty!

    Hi everyone!
    I have a problem concerning my bin. After I deleted some data from a 2,5" external Hardrive (ntfs format) the bin won´t empty.
    On the other side if I disconnect my harddrive the bin is empty.
    What do I have to do? Since I can´t empty my bin I´m still having space problems.
    Hope you could help me asap.
    Thanks

    Connect the external drive and then try Finder/Secure Empty Trash

  • Won't shut down, won't empty trash, can't force quit, hangs forever

    Hi all. Multiple problems here with MacBook Air. Can't even give you the specific OS because of the hanging problem. In brief the issues are:
    1. It won't shut down unless by using the power button.
    2. It won't empty the trash. Nor will it stop emptying the trash. All attempts to do so are met with either the warning that an application is in use (only the trash is in use) or it hangs
    3. It is impossible  to force quit. The usual keystrokes have no effect and in any case the third keystroke - usually esc- is shown under the Finder as an arrow comIng out of the upper left (open) corner of a semi-circle. Although this is a Spanish keyboard there is no corresponding key anywhere on the computer
    4. Any attempts to open any other application while engaging in the fruitless attempts to empty the trash are met with the dreaded beach all of death.
    As a consequence I can only use the MacBook Air by not emptying an ever growing amount of trash. This can't possibly be good.

    David ...
    Hopefully you can boot in Safe Mode so you can find out which OS X is installed. Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Then click the Apple menu  top left in the screen. From the drop down menu click: About This Mac
    Note the version number.
    Then click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    Post back with the OS X version please.

  • My MacAir won't empty the trash

    My MacAir won't empty my trash.  Says it has 4,433 items to empty, which may be too much. WhenI  open the trash, I can find only 17 items. I have been having trouble with my HD being too full - it has been around 249 - 250 GBs.  Now it is down to 220 GBs.  Please help!

    Hold down the option key and empty the Trash.

  • Need Help Desperately!! Trash won't empty!

    Hi
    I've had this problem for over a month now and I've just sat here for about an hour trying to fix it.
    I've got a .html file in the trash and I just can't get rid of it. It's called: Tiếng Việt.html (which in itself looks suspicious to me).
    Anyway, when you try to find info on the file, it just says "fetching" and never actually tells you anything. I've also tried opening it in Safari for info and Dreamweaver but get error messages.
    I've tried emptying the trash normally and secure empty trash, but nothing.
    Then, as a last resort I went to Terminal. Now normally I don't like to use terminal because I once deleted all the files off my desktop by using it!! Lucky I didn't make a bigger mistake though.
    I know I typed the command properly this time though, because I got a message saying "command completed" or something along those lines. But no, it was still there.
    So, I did it as follows and this was the result I got:
    Last login: Sun Sep 10 10:39:25 on ttyp1
    Welcome to Darwin!
    You have new mail.
    [Macintosh:~] caroline% sudo -s
    Password:
    [Macintosh:~] root# rm -R /Users/caroline/.Trash/untitled\ folder/
    rm: /Users/caroline/.Trash/untitled folder//Legal.localized/Tiếng Việt.html: No such file or directory
    rm: /Users/caroline/.Trash/untitled folder//Legal.localized: Directory not empty
    rm: /Users/caroline/.Trash/untitled folder/: Directory not empty
    [Macintosh:~] root# exit
    exit
    [Macintosh:~] caroline%
    What's confusing me is that it says "no such file or directory" and then "Directory not empty".
    I've tried changing it's permission with 3rd party program's and am often given another error message!
    I'm worried it's spyware (if it actually exists for a mac!) or something equally sinister. Is it worth doing a virus check?
    I've even resored disk permissions...anything else I should try?

    Hi
    I'm worried it's spywareNo, this is a known problem with certain special characters in filenames. I won't go into tedious detail, since it seems Apple may have fixed it.
    Someone else with this problem manage to cure it by running Repair Disk from the Install disk and then using Secure Empty Trash. I don't know that the "Secure" made any difference, it is the disk repair that counts. If it doesn't work after trying Disk Utility, run fsck instead:
    Mac OS X: About Using Disk Utility and fsck for File System Maintenance
    Let us know if this helps!
