Not allowing me to move my files to trash?

Title pretty much sums it up, whenever I hit the delete the key on a file (even files and folders in my own home directory) It says "Cannot move file to trash.." ANY File. I go to trash, its empty. Is there some obscure Trash group that I completly missed? Could my Trash permissions some how have gotten screwed up somehow?

fsckd:
ls: cannot access /home/eric/.Trash: No such file or directory
drwx------ 4 eric users 4096 Aug 1 12:00 /home/eric/.local/share/Trash/
drwx------ 4 eric users 4096 Aug 1 23:58 /home/eric/.local/share/Trash/files
drwx------ 2 eric users 4096 Aug 1 23:58 /home/eric/.local/share/Trash/info
I can now move files from home to trash, a reboot seemed to fix it I guess so maybe it was just a random boot glitch. But the fact I don't have a .Trash is rather odd isnt it?
Also, I've got some files INSIDE trash, that its not letting me delete. If I tell it to delete permanently it errors out with "Failed to delete file from trash' ...not very useful as an error.
if i try to gksu into nautilus, and then hit the trash bookmark on the side. it gives me an error of:
The folder contents could not be displayed.
Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported
Proof, DE is Gnome

Mail will not allow me to move mail to the trash

For some reason Mail has stopped letting me move mail to the trash. Instead all deleted mail is grayed out. I checked the box to move deleted mail to trash, but that still does not work. The mail stays in the inbox, but a copy is moved to the trash. Has anyone ever had that problem?

I had to just delete my mail account and start over.

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, Rick

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up?

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

I don't do a lot of dragging to custom arrange my images. But the custom order is right at the bottom of the list of sort orders on my computer.
Added later: But don't worry about the custom order. It doesn't make any difference on my system. Are you sure you are dragging the image itself, and not the border around the image?

Not allowed to play movie, an external display is detected (Q1544)

I'm getting this message on my I-pad 2 while using my Uverse app
"Not allowed to play movie, an external display is detected (Q1544).
There is no problem using the Netflix app.

There isn't a workaround, if you get that message then the provider has blocked using Airplay or an external monitor. Contact Uverse and ask them to remove the block.

Selection Tool not allowing me to move shapes

I need your help.
The Selection Tool is not allowing me to move shapes. It allows me to Resize them by the achor points, but won't let me move them.
Any suggestions?
I use Adobe Illustrator CS5 for Mac OSX.
Thanks!

Try nudging with the up/down arrow keys. Does that work? Does a Move command (Cmd+Shift+M) work?
If so, could it be that Object Selection by Path Only is checked in Selection & Anchor Display prefs? If so, uncheck it.

I'm having a problem with the application Dropbox and I want to uninstall it. In finder it does not allow me to move it to trash telling me the dopbox application is open. How do I close it? when it shows up nowhere as an open application?

Is there a DropBox icon up in the menubar you can click on & see quit DropBox?

Adobe reader will not allow me to down load file because it says i must sign agreement which I did

adobe reader will not allow me to down load file because it says i must sign agreement which I did

Perhaps you have Adobe Acrobat, which can do everything Reader can do.

Help please. Iphone was Backed up yesterday. But today's didn't finish. Now, I have a file but it will not allow a restore from said file. And yesterday's is gone. What the hello do I do?

Help please. Iphone was Backed up yesterday. But today's backup didn't finish. Now, I have a file (marked today) but it will not allow a restore from said file. And yesterday's is gone. What the hello do I do? IS there anyway to get my sms back post restore/update?

The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

Why is it that when i connect my ipad the laptop only detects the storage and does not allow me to send any files to it?

The iTunes application is used to transfer content to the iPad.

Pages on my ipad does not allow me to move objects. It works fine on iphone 4

The PAGES app on my ipad does not allow me to move objects, it works fine on my iphone 4

It helps if you describe what happens when you try to move an object in Pages...the sequence of events that you go through.....
Close Pages and reboot your iPad then try again. If that doesn't work, post back with more detailed information.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

"Can't move referenced files to trash"

I was clearing my rejects from a project- 1400 of them! They were all referenced. At the end, I got an error message saying Aperture can't move referenced files to trash because I don't have access to the trash on that volume.
It removed them from the library but left the images on the drive- 1400 of them! (Seems like it would have let me know BEFORE removing them from the library!)
Anyway, I isolated them on the drive by relocating the masters that remain in the library which left the files from the removed images in place. It would have been ugly if I were deleting rejects library wide instead of within a single project.
The permissions in the Get Info window were fine, and the disk is formatted properly so I verified and repaired the disk in Disk Utility. No problems were found, but this resolved the issue of the volume not having access to the trash.
Anyone else ever seen anything like this?

It doesn't sound like it's an issue with the files themselves, but rather with the trash.
I haven't seen it, but I can see how that could occur. Each volume tends to have its own Trash folder. It's hidden, typically called .Trashes and at the root of the hard drive. I have had Trash-related issues outside of Aperture in the past (likely of my own doing). The issue with problems like these it it's nigh impossible to establish cause and effect… you could do something and not notice the problem for days or even weeks, in a completely un-related way.
I doubt that "Repair Permissions" is responsible for the fix, unless the files were on your boot volume. RP has no effect outside of a boot volume.

Premier Elements 10 - Organiser will not allow me to move files anymore

I have been using Premier Elements 10 without too many problems but I now have a problem with organiser which is driving me nuts.
For some reason organiser will no longer allow me to move files around in the left hand folder window. I move files to the new folder but the video file does not move.
Not only that but for some reason organiser has taken two videos from each and every folder and added them to the folder below. I have tried refreshing, allowing premier to re import the video files, pressing show all etc etc and nothing seems to work.
OS is windows vista
Has amyone else had this problem and more to the point got it sorted.
Thanks
David

Has no one come across this problem????? Even more frustrating is the fact that now this excuse for editing software will not open any of my projects fully because it has taken it upon itself to mix all my files around and not let me sort them.
ABOBE THIS PIECE OF SOFTWARE IS UTTER CRAP. IT IS FULL OF BUGS.

Quiz Will Not Allow for Backward Movement

I have a short 10 page presentation, on page 5 I have a single question. It is optional, I have it marked for backward movement, it does not show a score afterwards. When I publish, I can work my way through all pages, however, when I go backwards, I get stuck at the quiz screen, it will not allow me to go back to pages prior to the quiz. Any suggestions?

Hi kirkisbetter,
As per my understanding , you are facing the following 2 issues :
Issue 1 : You are not able to see the score (Result Slide)at the end
Issue 2 : Backward movement from the quiz slide.
We would like to suugest you to follow the steps as mentioned below to resolve the above issues :
Suggestion for Issue 1:
Once you delete the result slide from the presentation, then for the result slide to reappear , please go to Quiz -> Manage -> Select the Quiz. The Quiz Settings dialog appears. Make sure the "Show Score at the end of the quiz" option is enabled and then click on OK.
You can now see the result slide in your presentation.
Suggestion for Issue 2:
Once you come to the Quiz slide then you come to the quiz pane in place of the outline pane. In the quiz pane , you can see slides which are presnet after the question slide.
In order to go backwards from question slide, you need to use the backward button available in the playbar or use the Thumb tab in the right side panel. Once you browse to one slide before the question slide,then you can again see the Outline tab in your right slide pane which lists all the slides available in the presenation.
We hope this resolves the issue.
If you are still facing the problem then please do let us know with the exact steps and if possible please share the project file which causes this issue.
Thanks,
Subhransu
