Putting Items In Trash

I listen to podcasts and also have times when I want to delete songs that I am tired of listening to. I move them to the trash can but they don't appear in the one on the launch bar. Do they get sent to another trashcan? I know it asks me of I really want to delete them.

Quit iTunes - then double click onto your Trashcan: Now the deleted items should show up.

  • Why does putting item in trash require permission?

    The box shown below appears when dragging an item into the trash... it was not doing this yesterday.
    I have Zapped the PRAM, run Onyx and Disk Utility.
    Lookng for the answer.
    Thanks

    Onyx may have corrupted something.  Remove it.
    You should only use utilities outside of Apple's outside of backup for troubleshooting.
    Any others you might have downloaded could also be causing the problem.
    Files dragged to the trash should have no trouble as long as there isn't anything system related already in the trash, or the file itself is one you definitely created under the same account.
    Repairing permisssion with Disk Utility may fix issues.

  • Why don't items I put in the trash appear in the trash?

    Sometimes items it put in the trash don't appear in the trash, although they are there.  This often happens when I manually delete podcasts from iTunes, or drag an item such as a PDF from my downloads folder to the trash.  The dock icon remains in it's "empty" state and bring up the trash finder window also shows that it is empty.  If I restart my MacBook however, the items appear in the trash and are able to be deleted.  Odd.

    I'd really be grateful if some-one could explain to me in plain English why I can't see deleted files in my Trash folder and how I can rememdy that.
    Thank you,
    For photos deleted from iPhoto, you need to empty the iPhoto trash under file while the iPhoto App is open.

  • Can the items in trash be deleted without effecting the computer

    can the items in trash be deleted without effecting the computer...in other words is the computer using any of the files in trash

    An item that is moved to the trash is temporarily stored until you Empty the Trash. Data that is moved to trash is unusable by the system. Same as it would be in real life where you put items in your trash bin but you could take it back out if you haven't already thrown the trash away

    Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
    Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
    Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
    Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
    And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
    Here is Apple's take on the subject:
    http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/immaculate_desktop.html
    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

    By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

  • How can I get rid of "locked items" in Trash?

    I am deleting old Time Machine files from my external drive, using my MacBook Pro (2007) to do it.  I've been doing this for several weeks, but now when I'm in Trash and click "Empty Securely" I get this message:  "There are some locked items in Trash.  Do you want to remove all the items, including the locked ones, or just the unlocked items?"  Regardless of whether I click on "Remove unlocked items" or "Remove all items", the process stops almost immediately and the Trash remains full.  What might be the "locked items" and how can I get rid of them? 

    You might try restarting and then try to empty the Trash.

  • Script that moves items to trash after importing to iTunes

    Hi,
    I have zero experience in this, all I have done is just from having googled stuff, so please be patient if I'm asking stupid questions. I have tried searching the forum first but I can't find the answer to this question.
    I download music from various (LEGAL) websites and I don't want to have to manually move it into iTunes. My aim is that every time an .mp3 file is downloaded into my downloads folder, it is automatically moved into my iTunes music library and added to a 'downloaded' playlist, then deleted from my downloads folder.
    This has taken me ages because after I got it working I did an iTunes update which ruined it all. I tried to edit the offending actions but ended up just downgrading iTunes to the previous version via Time Machine.
    I am using OS X version 10.6.7 and iTunes 10.2.1
    The point I am at now is that it is all working, except that the files are not moved to the trash at the end, so every time it runs it adds the new file plus all the previous files again. Please can someone help me modify my script or my automator application so that this will happen.
    Also, is it possible to have the automator application only run when music files are downloaded? Because at the moment it runs every time I download anything at all.
    Here is what I have done:
    I have set up a folder action so that this script is attached to my downloads folder:
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
              tell me
                        do shell script "open -a /Users/Louisa/Documents/Workflows/justdownloadstoplaylist.app"
              end tell
    end adding folder items to
    Then I have saved this Automator workflow as the application justdownloadstoplaylist.app
    *Get specified Finder items*
    Louisa>Downloads
    *Get Folder Contents*
    (Repeat for each subfolder found)
    *Import Files into Itunes*
    (Existing playlist - "downloaded")
    *Move Finder items to Trash*
    Thank you for your help.

    Sorry, there was an error with my workflow in that saving to the variable should have come after filtering the items:
    Folder Action receives files and folders added to Downloads
    Get Folder Contents { Repeat for each subfolder found } -- in case a folder was added
    Filter Finder Items { File extension is mp3 } -- just get mp3 files
    Set Value of Variable { Variable: Original Items } -- save the filtered mp3 files for later
    Import Files into iTunes { Existing playlist Downloaded }
    Get Value of Variable { Variable: Original Items } (Ignore Input) -- get back the mp3 files
    Move Finder Items to Trash
    If you are using your application in a situation where it is already getting items passed to it (e.g. dropping items onto the application, or using a Service or Folder Action), adding an action at the beginning that gets the same items will result in doubling up the items in your input list.  If you are getting confused about what is getting passed to your application, you can use a Choose from List action at the beginning of your workflow to show the items.
    If you just saved your workflow as an application, dropping items onto it will pass them to your workflow, otherwise you will need to add statements to your folder action script to tell the workflow to open items passed to the folder action.  As I mentioned in my earlier post, you won't need to use your folder action script or do anything else to get items passed to your workflow if it is created using the Folder Action template. 

  • Putting Items in Shopping Cart

    I am trying to put items in my shopping cart, and it says it cannot place the song in the shopping cart to do an unknown error. This is error 5002.
    Thanks

    This is a bit of a long shot, but it worked for another user, so it's worth a try. Go to the iTunes Store preferences, select "Buy and Download Using 1-Click", close the preferences window, reopen the preferences window and reselect "Buy and Download Using Shopping Cart". Then see if your Shopping Cart will work.
    Another user reported that the problem occurred when his credit card expiration date needed updating. Log into your iTunes Store account and check your credit card information.
    If neither of those suggestions helps, you may need to contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web pageand explain the problem to them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Any idea how i restore my office email account, looks like i have moved all items to trash and now have no email account ! no time machine either

    any idea how i restore my office email account, looks like i have moved all items to trash and now have no email account ! no time machine either

    let's go back to your original post: what do you mean "it looks like you moved all items to trash"??
    You DID move them to trash? (we can discuss WHY once we cure you)...
    Can you open a window in finder and get to  applications and then to utilities? Is MAIL in there?
    And your "office email account"-- do you mean physical office, like place of work and you want that account in your mac mail on your computer?  ~OR~ do you mean, microsoft office,mail account?
    The difference is necessary to know...

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied?  Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

    Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied?  Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

    If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
    The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
    I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

    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.
