My trash can doesn't work
How do I remove the 1300 items clogging my trash can? I have an intel based iMac running OS X 10.9.
Assuming the usual "Empty Trash..." is not working, try holding an option key while selecting it.
If that does not work write back for additional suggestions.

Trash can doesn't work when deleting e-mails
Until yesterday, I could delete e-mails by touching the trach can icon while looking at the message. Doesn't work today, so I have to go to Edit, then delete. Solution anyone?
ThanksTry a simple reset of the phone. Many times that will fix a problem. Hold down the Home and power button together until you see the Apple logo, then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen. This will reboot the iPhone and normally clears any minor issues.

Using Mt Lion, 10.8.3, I find that my trash removal doesn't work on eithe unlocked or locked files. I have tries manuelly unlocking files and even that doesn't work. The trash disposal goes through the motions of counting the files and, then, doing the file subtaction from the count and at the end, it starts to go into negative numbers and never stops. However, nothing has happened to the trash. What's going on and how do I correct it. I have tries clean installs of the operating system and still nothing changes.
Relaunch the Finder, then from the Finder menu bar, select
Finder ▹ Preferences ▹ Advanced
and uncheck the box marked Empty Trash securely. Try again to empty the Trash. -
Sudo trash command doesn't work
Last year I found a Terminal command for emptying large amounts of trash, quickly. Now, using that command doesn't seem to work. Can I be doing something wrong?
I pasted this into Terminal: "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*".
Afterward I typed my password, and Terminal showed a dollar sign and the grey rectangle. But two hours later, none of the trash has been deleted. What is my mistake?Thanks Niel, but I am using it without the quotes. Could I be doing anything else wrong?
Here's how it looks.
(I only made the command once. The earlier ones were from before I restarted.) -
Dragging photos from desktop to trash suddenly doesn't work.
I have a number of photos on my desktop that I am trying to move to trash. The notice that is now on my desktop is "Preparing to move to trash". This preparing message has been there for several days. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
You may be able to restart the process by going to the Apple logo (top left of your screen) and click on that. The seventh item down in the drop down panel is Force Quit. Click on that and in the drop down panel click on trash if it is showing. You could then try the process again.
You cannot be looking in the right place for the secure empty trash. You will have Finder in your Dock.
Clicking on that will bring you to a screen with 'Finder' written in the top left hand corner next to your Apple logo. Clicking on the word, Finder, will produce a drop down panel in which, the third item down is Empty Trash and the fourth item down is Secure Empty Trash. Click on whichever one you need to use and then on the prompt which will appear. -

Firefox 4.0Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?
There are several ways
- Selecting the event and hitting the "delete" key on your keyboard (as Wayne Contello said)
- Selecting the event and opening the "edit" dropdown menubar item, and then selecting "delete"
- Selecting the event and right clicking, then selecting "cut" (this option puts the event on your clipboard) -
I deleted application folder of Illustrator CC tryout by mistake. I should have run adobe installer but I didn't.
After that, I could not uninstall Illustrator CC and also I could not install CS6.
When I tried to install CS6, installer does nothing after entering serial number.
OS: Mac OS Maverick on Macbook ProI did run Adobe cleanup and confirmed that Illustrator CC has been removed but installation doesn't work.
When I click on install button after putting in serial number and login with Adobe ID, nothing happens.
It is frustrating. I couldn't even install the program yet. -
I updated my 3GS with the latest update. But it doesn't work. Still I only see the Apple Icon on the display and almost every two minutes I get the sound of resetting/rebooting itself by the phone.
So, what can I do?If iMovie won't start, one thing to try is delete the iMovie Preferences file:
Go to your hard drive Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Drag that file to the trash, reboot your Macintosh and try to launch iMovie again. Failing that if you can write down the error code and report that back to the Discussion Group someone else might be able to start helping with trouble-shooting the failure. -
Can someone helpe me with this??? Everytime i press my spacebar to see how my movie is going it doesn't work at all!!!!!!!!
Did it run OK under a new User-Account ?
If so - then the need to clean out iMovie to re-install will not help at all but just be complicated.
If it did run OK - Then
• Delete iMovie pref. file
iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
not the Library at root level = first window when opening Your Macintosh HD (Mac OS) Start-Up HD
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
To find all parts of iMovie to trash to make a Clean Install - is not easy and there will be others that can guide You trough this process. - I never needed to do that - and I used iMovie since iMovie (1) > 10 Years

I have purchased and downloaded Paloma Faith - Fall to Grace delux edition. Track 5 Let Me Down Easy doesn't work. Is there anyway I can down load it again? The rest of the Album works fine.
Delete the faulty track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Mobile data doesn't work and I can't access the front camera.
Hi, I received my new Xperia Z3 Compact in white just over a week ago and unfortunately I have few unresolved issued with it which kind of spoils the experience of owning a new phone.
I just switched from a number of Iphones and Xperia was the handset that really impressed me.
I couldn't see the point of getting an overpriced Iphone with a limited storage capability.
Unfortunately my Xperia Z3c has some issues;
- I can't get the front camera work
- I can get my internet only through Wi-Fi and my unlimited 3G data doesn't work at all (T-Mobile U.K)
- Three Swipe Gesture doesn’t appear to be working as it should on any Android device (I'm told).
So I am not a very happy user at the moment and slowly starting to miss the Iphone.Hi casson50ml,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Sorry to hear about these issues, I would first suggest clearing the data for the camera.
Menu > settings > Apps > All > Camera > Clear Data
Once done try using the device.
In regards to the Internet, try performing an Internet settings download.
Menu > Settings > More > Internet Settings > Accept Disclaimer > Choose Network.
Now try using the network data on the handset.
Can you explain more about the 3 Finger Gesture issue?

Own an iphone 5. Can't control voice memo volume from anywhere that deals with volume on my phone. My decrease button doesn't work. I have to listen to my voice memos on full blown volume. Can't lower it from settings or from music. Help please!
Hi,
thanks for your answer.
The Size of all disks is: 6 x 4 TB.
In the Pool are 5 x 4 TB plus 1 x Hot Spare.
It comes up to about 14,6 TB of Data formatable.
But tried it also with just 3 x 4 TB to see if it works.
I just made a Raid5EE on the controller and then used Storage Spaces with simple, all worked fine.
Here the results of my tests:
1) your command had to be modified (typoe in usemaximumsize, and had to add -ResiliencySettingName Parity.
new-virtualdisk -friendlyname testpsh -storagepoolfriendlyname test -ResiliencySettingName Parity -usemaximumsize
But anyway, my problem is not creating the virtual disk, but formatting the partition if it's parity only.
I added a screenshot:
Here you see my storage pool, and I added 3 virtual disk.
1 simple, 1 mirror, 1 parity. Only the parity cannot be formatted. The others can. No mather which size I do.
About a testserver, I added 4 x 4 TB to a VM (VHDX-files) and could do parity without problems. So it seems it is this server specific.
As it worked with another controller, I really wonder if the controller could break parity of Storage Pools?
The other weird part is, it sais "Raid" as BUS, but it's set to pass through, in details I see the serial of the attached HDD.
This is what properties shows on this volume. Always RAW.
I also tried Software Raid5 within the server.
This also worked fine. So really only parity.
Thanks

My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?
A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.
