Removing a LOT of items from the trash..

Selected a BUNCH of pictures from a file on the external HD and was attempting to move them somewhere else but they ended up in the trash on accident..
I'm trying to import them into Aperture (or just put them back) but when I select more than 2 I get the "circle with a line through it" telling me that I cant do it. If I drag one at a time or just 2 at at time they will move.
HELP... There's like 5,000 pictures in there that need to come back out. Moving 2 at a time will take for EVER....

The system won't let you do anything with files while they are in the trash except put them back. So you can't import them into Aperture until you get them out of the trash. I've never had the system refuse to put put items I had in the trash no matter how many I selected, of course I never had that many at one time.
You're using the put back command correct? You highlight a bunch of files and right click (or control click) the file(s) and select put back from the contextual menu?
If that's not working then its really a OS X question rather then an Aperture question. You would be better off posting to one of the OS X groups.
good luck

Deleting a single item from the trash.

Hello
Is there a way to delete a single item from the trash, while leaving all other items in the trash?

I don't believe so and I'm not sure why you would want to.
Items should not be placed in the Trash unless you intend to delete the items. The Trash is not designed for and should not be used as a temporary storage location.

My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin. Originally, I thought it was due to 800 files in the trash, however, I removed ALL but 5 photos from the trash and it continues to lock up.

My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin.
Originally, I thought it was due to 800+ files in the trash, however, I removed all but 5 photo files from the trash and it continues to lock up. Inititally the "progress" bar would get to about 1/2 way and then it would stop and stall. However, now the progress bar no longer shows a progress line it immediately freezes and locks up. Can anyone help?

You may have damaged the library - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

How do you remove a third party item from the system preference

I am running Mt Lion 10.8.5 and need to remove the Norton Antivirus that is in the system preference.
What is the trick on getting it out of there?

Hi,
Read All on this one.
The Disk or the Installer .dmg that you got for this should have an Uninstaller included.
On a Disk it may be a separate item.
However sometimes it is an option choice during the Install screens.
The web site for the app should also have instructions (in rare cases the Uninstaller is on the web site)
Common "all user" add-on Preferences Pane are stored in Had Drive Name/Library/PreferencesPanes
The ones that come in the OS are in Hard Drive Name/System/Library/PreferencePanes
Note the Path Bar displayed across both pics. (Finder > View Menu > Show Path Bar).
You also have a User Folder version Hard Drive Name/Users/(your account name)/Library/PreferencePanes (~/Library/PreferencePanes)
You have to use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type (Copy from here and Paste there) in the Dialogue box that appears (use the ~/Library/PreferencePanes option)
There is a good chance this one is empty.
Broadly speaking though the more complicated the processes behind a Preference Pane or app the easier and better it is to remove it with the correct Uninstaller.
Norton is Invasive !!
USE THE UNINSTALLER Method

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close.

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close (stuck at 1650 files to go). So it allowed me to click cancel now it says "stopping" for 3hrs now. Is there anyway to force the MacBook Air (new model) to close as you can't remove the battery?

Press and hold the power button until the Mac turns itself off. This force-shutdown should be done only after you've exhausted other options (you seem to have done so).
Wait at least 60 seconds.
Then press the power button to start up the Mac. It will take a little longer to start up because it will perform additional self-tests on the first boot after a forced shutdown.
Once the bootup is complete, you should be able to delete the trash. Hold down the option key while choosing to empty the trash, which will automatically delete "locked" items.

Remove "content-length" item from the header of httpServletResponse

Hi all,
tomcat6.0, JDK5.0.
I use tomcat6.0 as the web container and JDK version is 1.5.
I found tomcat connector will add "content-length" item in all httpServletResponse header.
But now I need generate some chunked http response.according the RFC, there should be no "content-length" item in the http header when response is chunked-encoding.
So how can I remove the 'content-length" item from the httpServletResponse header?
Thanks a lot!

How can we remove items from the VF04 list?

We have a long list of items in VF04 that, for various reasons (some process related, some due to errors), are not to be billed. We have looked at applying filters to the list but there is nothing really suitable to hide these individual documents e.g. we could filter out some dates where none of the items on that date are to be billed but other dates have a mix of items we want to bill and others we don't.
I have done a search of this forum but didn't find a previous topic with a quick and simple method to remove items from the list .
Is there a method, other than billing them or sorting each issue individually, to permanently remove individual documents from the VF04 list?
Thanks in advance for any help.
David

Hi,
David,
Download a list of Pending delivers doc form VF04.
Paste the list in T.Code : VL09 (Delivery reversal) and reverse the delivery.
Then go to T.Code: VL06G Select the list of deliveries that has been reversed, select/delete all un- wanted deliveries.
This way you can remove all unwanted pending deliveries forn Billing due list (VF04).
Thanks & Regards,

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

Can't remove items from the selectMenu

I am using selectMenu as:
<a4j:region selfRendered="true" id="text">
          <h:selectOneListbox id="symbol" value="#{user.name}">
              <f:selectItems value="#{user.temp_list}" />
          </h:selectOneListbox>
<a4j:commandButton action="#{user.getData}" reRender="symbol" value="Get"/>
</a4j:region>temp_list has following three values when page loads:
temp_list.add(new SelectItem("Sunday"));
temp_list.add(new SelectItem("Monday"));
temp_list.add(new SelectItem("Tuesday"));Now in user.getData i want to remove items one by one based on the selection made by the user. The code is:
temp_list.remove(0);
this.setTemp_list(temp_list);But the problem is that if user selects Sunday for example, it remove it from the list but next time when user select Monday it removes monday but BRING BACK SUNDAY AGAIN IN THE LIST. Why is it so?

I don´t understand you.Actually i was asking about the code which i mentioned in my last post.
Okay then what could be the solution? What my thinking is that calling list.remove actually removes the item from the list permenantly, isn't it? If so then why does it showing me again in the selectMenu?
