OSX Lion, Lightroom 3 & deleted files: could be a bug?

I've a library saved inside an external HD.
Normally I work with this catalog, selecting the photos and elaborating the images.
Last week I've made the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion and today I've found that if I try to delete an image, LR tell me that is impossible, because the disc does not support a trash bin (???) and so I've only the possibility to remove the photo permanently from the HD.
but if I create a new document inside the HD, the system let me delete it and move it inside the trash bin without any problem.
So I've taken another HD, formatted with HFS+ Journaled, I've created a new catalog, imported some photos...same problem, same story...LR doesn't let me delete the images but only definitively removing teh photos from the HD.
This could be a bug from LR with Lion?

Lion is great, but this is the one and only problem I have left with Lion, exactly the same problem you are experiencing with LR 3.

I have posted this same problem in the LR forums and as yet have not found an answer other than to take the drastic step of 'Delete Files Anyway?' and then seeing that the files are indeed removed from the library and then indeed also that the files have been removed from the disk, BUT (and this is a big BUT) there are no files in the trash, even though you would expect that if you delete the files, LR allows you to delete and move them to the trash. With Lion, they simply diappear - so my question is: Are the files deleted? or are they dumped somewhere invisible that I don't know about to accumulate on the disk somewhere?
It would be good to know...
It' would be good if they were simply moved to the trash like they were with LR2.

Even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?

even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?... Help?!

Have you verified that the original files are missing from the Originals/Masters folder? There are time when the library might appear empty due to a damaged database file but still has the files. If you can open the library package via the Finder to see if the files are really missing or just can't be seen by iPhoto there are fixes you can try.
If the files are there make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Error when deleting file: Could not find this item. This is no longer located in ...

We are setting up a new Windows 2012 server. Users access this server using a 'terminal services'. We have mapped some folders from a legacy server (different domain). Using group policy preferences, we map this folder as a drive for a user.
When user wants to delete some files, he get's the error: 'Could not find this item ..' The error is displayed to the user and it looks like the file can't be deleted. But when I press the F5 (refresh) button, the file is gone. My problem is very similar
to a problem in the following post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/042e747a-0e25-4190-b0a2-82f3e9635eb0/can-not-delete-file-error-is-could-not-find-this-item?forum=w7itprogeneral
When I create 'txt' (or 'pdf', 'zip') file, i can delete it without the error. When I create 'xlsx', 'docx', 'pptx', 'bmp', 'jpg', I get the error.
Does somebody have an idea, how can I fix the cause of this problem? (I can't tell to users to hit the F5 button everytime when they face this issue)
Thank you for your help in advance!

Nokia C5-03 and Mac OSX Lion - Problems copying files to phone in Mass Storage mode

Whenever I try to load more than one file from my iMac (early 2008, OSX Lion 10.7.2) to my new Nokia C5-03 in Mass Storage mode —since the files are MP3s and Multimedia Transfer doesn’t seem to work at all, I keep on getting asked which transfer mode I want to activate for several times, I always choose Mass Storage, and then the first file starts copying, but when it ends with the first one I have to wait for ±30s only to get asked the same again and again until the second file starts copying, and so on.
It’s driving me crazy, I’ve tried setting in the USB connectivity options not to ask me for the mode when I connect the phone, but it doesn’t work either. It still goes very slow and a lot of “USB Mass Storage transfer mode activated” messages appear.
I’ve tested it with a friend’s C5-03 and it’s still the same, but when connecting them to a Windows computer everything goes great and fast. Has somebody had this problem before? Is there a solution to this? I don’t know if this is the correct board to post this, sorry if it’s not.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry if there are any mistakes or my English sounds weird, i’m Spanish.

PC Connectivity Solution
Then, download and install the latest version of Nokia Ovi
I hope this helps.

OSX 10.4 - Deleted files, but hard drive space still occupied!

(Running OSX 10.4.10 on a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook)
I recently noticed that deleting files & emptying them from the Trash does not free up any disk space. I've tried Secure Erasing the files, verifying and repairing the hard drive & permissions, restarting, etc.
Please help!

Doing this, I got:
4.0K .//.dvdcss
4.0K .//.mplayer
du: .//.Spotlight-V100: Permission denied
du: .//.TemporaryItems/folders.0: Permission denied

114G ./
Movies & trash are the size they are supposed to be, and the folder size did change in Movies when I deleted stuff - just not the free space. 114GB is indeed the correct amount of data actually on my computer.
In Disk Utility (and everywhere else on the computer) it tells me that:
Capacity: 186.0GB
Available: 3.7GB
Used: 182.3GB
This wasn't a one-time thing where I deleted a bunch of files, it's persistent. Now matter how much or how little I delete at a time, my free space never changes.

Why won't Lightroom delete files I tell it to?

I have several Lightroom catalogs. Most I rarely use because they contain photos I don't work with often. I was using a couple of those catalogs yesterday and found that I could not delete photos from disk or remove the Lightroom entries in them. The first time I came across was when I told it to remove the catalog entries for missing files. It did nothing, no error message or anything. The catalog entries are still there. Later I edited a file in Photoshop. The new file appeared in Lightroom as it should. I later decided to delete that file from Lightroom. Again, nothing happened, no error messages. It just did nothing. I can go into Windows Explorer and delete the file there, but it will still show up in Lightroom and I cannot delete/remove the Lightroom entry. I checked the Windows permissions and it appears that I have all the permissions to the catalog lrcat fill. I am not an expert on permissions, so I might be missing something. I can add files to the catalog and I can add Keywords, but I cannot "Delete from Disk" or "Remove" from the catalog. I am not having these problems with the catalog I use everyday. The problem catalogs where probably created under an older version of Lightroom, but wouldn't Lightroom automatically update the catalog when I open it in the new version of Lightroom? I am using Lightroom 4.4 on a Windows 7 Sp1 machine with two Coreduo processors and 8GB of RAM.

After running "Find All Missing Photos", you'll be in a collection.

The catalogs that are having trouble were last used in 2007 for one and 2011 for the other.
Yeah, if it's catalog-dependent you got a snafu in there somewhere.

I just tried Ctrl-Alt-Shift Delete and that works.
That solves the "Delete from Disk (and remove from catalog)" problem, but not the "Remove from Catalog (only)" problem.
Progress anyway..

Print Preview is missing from Firefox 6 on Mac OSX Lion in both File Menu and Print Dialog Box

The question says it all really. Print Preview option is missing from both the File menu and from the Print dialog box when you select Print. I use Print Preview a lot to avoid wasting paper.
A relevant issue might be that the Mac OSX app Preview is currently having trouble with various printers including my Xerox and so, temporarily, the default application for all Preview items is now Adobe Reader until Apple get their act together. Perhaps this is affecting things?
Thanks for any help

It's moved to the PDF dropdown, "Open PDF in Preview"

Does reinstalling OSX Lion force all files to be reinstalled?

My USB Ethernet has stoped working on my 2011 MacAir. I've tried all the fixes I could find on these forums including new locations, manual set up etc;
The last recommendation is to reinstall the OS. Question - does doing this automatically force a full re-install of everything ie doc/file/programs, or just does it overwrite the OS files with new ones? I'd like to avoid a full restore from Time Machine for all my other data, plus I have Parallels running just fine and i do't want to have to reinstall that all over again, if possible.
Thanks,

I think running Software Update is a good idea - I did a fresh install of MLion this last week using the full 10.8.4 installer. After the update SU offered me Digital Raw and Airport Utility updates that I'd already previously installed before doing the fresh install.

Connection drop iMac to Apple TV - OSX Lion

Hello.
Hope someone might have a solution. Ever since i changed to OSX Lion i have had a really irritating bug with my Wifi. While browsing, downloading and doing everyday stuff my connection is fine.
However when streaming movies and tv-shows to my Apple TV (2nd) i have been getting som nasty connection drops. Its not always but to often to be anoying since i havnt had this problem before.
Scenario: I can start a movie and watch almost an hour when all of a sudden the connection drops on my iMac Late 2009 - OSX Lion 10.7.3. Everytime this happens my Wifi icon turns gray and i need to shut the Wifi off and turn it on again and all works. But once it has started the connection drops every 10 min or so and i need to reboot the machine to be able to watch the movie like "normal".
The connection between my Airport Express and the Apple TV is no problem and works flawless but my Mac cant seem to handle the "heat". I didnt have this issue on SL so im a bit bugged about it.
RSSI: -45
SPEED: 130
This is what ive tried.
1. Repair the permissions thru the OS, and the Command and R at start up, including the "resetpassword" thing.
2. Update firmware on my Aiport Express and downgraded since it just got worse.
3. Updated the airport utility, but needed to install back the old one since the new for Lion doesnt support the switch between 2.4 and 5.0 band.
4. Reset PRAM
5. Reset SMC
6. Rebuild the connection by deleteing and resetting the router.
7. Done some cleanup with OnyX.
Now im out of ideas since nothing seem to work and i hate that i have all this Apple gear for thousands of dollars and the f**** Wifi ruins everything.
Anyone?
Cheers
Chris

I have the same issue

Cant delete files on external hard drive (Mac OSX Lion, LR3&4)

Lightroom can't send items to trash when deleting files on an external drive if the trash bin is empty for the relevant drive on OSX Lion. This was in LR3 and now in 4. You can get round this by making sure the trash is not emptied after deleting a random file or folder but there has to be a better way!
Also it seems to be a lightroom problem more than OS as Bridge can delete the files with no problem.
Any ideas on this?

I'm having the same problem, but there are so many other issues with LR4 -some enormous, some just downright bizarre -that I almost forgot about this one. ;-). Good catch on the empty trash bin though. How'd you figure that out? I'm impressed.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I tried to download the latest OSX Mountain Lion and got this notice - "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed. " What does this mean and why can't I download it?

I tried to download the latest OSX for my iMac - Mountain Lion.
This is the message that I received:
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
What does this mean?

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps.
