Sorting Trash

How can I sort files in my TRASH folder by the DATE of DELETION.? There are times I don't remember a file name, or date I last modified it. Displaying files by their trashed date would be a big plus for me.

It's really not a good idea to use the trash for storage. That's why Apple doesn't have things built in to help manage it.
Among other things, Time Machine and some other backup utilities automatically exclude the trash, so if you have a problem, even though you've been doing backups regularly, you'll lose it.
If you're not sure whether you really want to delete things, make a "Pending Deletion" or "I'm not sure" folder and put things there, first. Then only delete them when you're sure.

[SORT OF SOLVED] Trash keeps opening with Firefox on AWN!

Yeah, this is really starting to annoy me.
Apparently, :trash is set to open using Firefox when I load it through anything other than a File Manager (Nautilus, Thunar, etc)
I cant seem to remove it either from Firefox's extensions list.
I cant open my trash via AWN in any desktop environment for this very reason, and it's irritating the living daylights out of me. I'm sure it's something in the OS or Firefox that is to blame. What's even stupider is that in gconf-editor, the key under desktop/gnome/url-handlers/trash is set to nautilus %s, so I am completely dumbfounded at why this doesn't work right.
I suspect it's Firefox, and I'd like to see if I can remove the :trash file association from it, I just don't know how to go about this.
Also, when I attempt to access :trash by typing it into PCManFM's location bar, heres what I get
(pcmanfm:11635): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Something is obviously borked and I'd like to know what it is. I did manage to edit one of the mimetype folders and completely remove :trash links from Firefox, but they still keep trying to open with it anyway, only now they ask me what program I want to use. I just wanna use my trash as normal.
Edit: Apparently docky works just fine, but I've decided against using a dock. I'll figure out the trash myself. Gonna use bmpanel2 for now.

I looked under both locations, and found nothing. When I typed in msconfig in Start>Run..., I checked System Configuration Utility, and found one process that puzzled me... http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/3281/wuththehell.jpg
I unchecked it and closed the window after saving, but didnt restart. Later on I decided to take a look at it again, and when I opened the window, the process was gone.

Found several folders empty. The files were found in the trash. All files are MS products. Is this a virus of some sort?

I recently found several of my folders were emtpy. Out of desperation I looked in the Trash, and found that all my files are somewhat systematically being moved to the trash. All the files are MS (I use Office for Mac), including Adobe. Has anyone experienced this? What's the "fix"?

I found another thread discussing a problem similar to yours:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22613149#22613149 ("Files in my trash bin which I didn't put")
One of the people who responded, thomas_r., is a virus expert and has an excellent website -- thesafemac.com -- all about Macs and viruses. He did not think a virus would cause this.
So I'd definitely recommend making a backup (or preferably two, since hard drives eventually fail), and you could upgrade to Mavericks (especially since Snow Leopard appears to be no longer supported by Apple) -- but based on Thomas's reply, I don't think a virus is causing this.

8.1 - sorted most problems but can't empty application from trash?

Like many others I had problems with the 8.1 update. Software update froze the computer the first 2 times it tried to install it, and although the application opened, software update showed no record of 8.1 being installed ("about itunes" showed 8.1 though).
8.1 wouldn't see my iphone though, and even after resetting the phone it wouldn't upload my tunes, app etc. I also couldn't play any of my purchased tracks and couldn't de-authorise them. Eventually I decided to delete iTunes from my computer, and downloaded it direct from the Apple site. First time installing it the machine froze again, but second time round it installed OK. Also showed up in software update as being installed too. Phone synced fine and all is working OK now but I can't remove the deleted iTunes application from the trash.
If I try to do anything with the file (even right click on it) the computer locks up for a few minutes. If I try to empty the trash I get the message "The operation cannot be completed because the item "pgs" is in use", and the computer locks up for a few minutes again. iTunes stays in the trash. Any ideas on how I can delete this file that seems to be causing all these problems? Cheers

I'd not used Terminal before but have now! I did a bit of reading on changing directory, deleting files etc and this is what I did;
(G5:~) bennyc% cd .trash
(G5:~/.trash) bennyc% rm iTunes
rm: iTunes: No such file or directory
(G5:~/.trash) bennyc%
iTunes is in the trash according to finder and it's the file causing the problems, but I can't delete through Terminal, or am I doing something wrong?

How can I move mp3 files from trash to iTunes?

I accidently moved a group of MP3 files (songs) from my iTunes to the trash. After doing a little research, I saw the suggestion of creating a folder on my desktop and dragging them from the trash to the new desktop folder. So, I did that, and as far as I can tell, the songs are all there, sitting in the folder. But when I tried to drag the songs from the desktop folder to iTunes, I got this message:
"Attempting to copy the disk Macintosh HD failed. You do not have enough access privaleges for this operation."
This makes no sense to me. This is my private computer so I should have all the privaleges I need to do anything, right? And I'm not trying to copy the "disk Macintosh HD", right?
Anyway, can you help me move the songs back into iTunes--or to the podcast so I can then move them to iTunes? FYI, the songs have names like, "download 124.mp3" and the Kind is "mp3 Audio." I originally got these songs via a podcast from a radio station (KCRW). I have iTunes 11.1.1.
Thanks!

ed2345,
Thanks! I did that and the songs are now back in my iTunes. Some of the songs went back to the podcast and some went to the playlist.
UNFORTUNATELY, the songs did some sort of massive duplicating so that there are now over 100 duplicates of every episode/song (the podcast now has almost 36,000 episodes/songs and the playlist now has over 24,000 episodes/songs), and iTunes is viery slow/sluggish (spinning beach ball). Can you tell me how to eleminate all of the duplicates?

How can I disable sorting in a folder? When mail arrived or move to a folder, I want that mail to show on top.

This is mainly for my trash folder. Sometime when I accidentally deleted an email, going back to the trash folder to looking for it gives me headache. If it is on top, I know where to find it. Thanks.

So you want the last thing that you placed in the trash to be on top no matter how new or old the message is? I am not sure how this could be done. Every window sorts on something. Maybe someone else will have a work around.
If you notice right away you can select Edit-Undo from the menu bar or use the shortcut control+z. This will undo the last action. If you do something else before you notice it then this does not work.

Cannot permanently delete mails from trash in gmail account

When emails are deleted using default Mac OS X Mavericks mail.app, they move to the trash folder as expected and when I delete them from the trash folder, they dissapear as supposed. Unfortunatelly, after logging in to the gmail web-based version, the emails are still visible in trash folder. They are sort of hidden, because they are visible only in web-based version, not in any smtp client. Interesting is, that iPhone mail app deletes the mails correctly. This issue was tested on 3 computers (iMac 27" i5 late 2010, Macbook Pro Retina 15" i7 early 2013, Macbook Pro Retina 13" i5 late 2013), 3 user accounts, and 3 gmail accounts. Do you have any suggestions?

Okay, that solved it, except that I had to input rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
and NOT "Trashes." It accepted your version of the command, but it didn't do anything discernible. I noticed that entering Trashe and trying to press tab to autocomplete didn't work, suggesting that maybe Trashes doesn't exist. However, trying to autocomplete with fewer letters typed indicated to me that Trash DOES exist, and so I went ahead with that and it worked.

Can't open trash

I was in the Yosemite beta program and I noticed around the second or third beta release (may have happened in the first one, this is just when I noticed it) that I am unable to open my trash. I can right click and empty the trash just fine, but I cannot open the trash either through clicking the dock icon or by right-clicking it and choosing "Open Trash". Nothing happens.
Furthermore, trying to open the trash causes some other problems on the system.
When I first log on to my Mac, I can click the Finder icon on the dock and it opens a window to the appropriate folder. I can close that window and re-open it by clicking on the icon as many times as I want. But if I try to open the trash (unsuccessfully) and then click on the Finder dock icon, it opens a blank window to nowhere. The window is titled "Window", all the buttons at the top are greyed out, there is no left-hand column of shortcuts, and the search doesn't work. It is just a useless blank window. If I right-click the finder icon, and choose "New Finder Window", it opens a folder as intended, but I can never open finder again by clicking on the dock icon until I log out and log back in.
If I try to drag a file to the trash and hover it there for a few moments (which would normally cause the window to open) the icon freezes over the trash and Finder becomes non-responsive. I have to force quit Finder for it to relaunch and let me continue.
This error occurs both on my main user and on the system's guest account
This is not a huge problem since I usually don't need to open my trash. I just reported it using the feedback assistant app and ignored it, hoping that one of the following betas would fix the problem. Now we're a version or two past release and the problem remains. It's really bugging me.
How can I fix this?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Please help! My Itunes says corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling so I moved it to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I can't delete or open to close it, what do I do

Please help!
My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

How can I Delete files from LTR5 to move to Trash On OS 10.8.4?

my set up is
mac 0s 10.8.4 using mac book pro 2.7 GHZ with 16GB having Lacie usb 3 thunderbolt external drive storing photos and LTR 5 catalogue to do my LTR processing of 24 mg files from D600 SLR
I have the LTR5 installed and am using it only to find out cannot move file(s) to Trashcan( MAC latest version) that doesn’t support the volume I have the photo files in. LTR5 only will permanently delete them via LTR5 only . Its an annoying step to rid the file – Is this a Bug? LTR 4 moves file(s) directly to Trash with no issues. The other LTR versions had no problem .
I don’t recall LTR5Beta having this issue when trying to move file to trash. I was beta tester .
LTR dialogue also says , file could not be moved to Trash folder as volume isnt supported . I have checked all preference panes to see if i can open up the trash to LTR5 discarded Files from my lacie drive where they are stored . Often I'll move files to trash then retrieve later from trash to import back into catalogue.
It was suggested trying new “test” catalogue .So. I created new catalogue which acted same way; failure to move files to trash.
As result , I have created a ” new” Trash folder within LTR5 to move discarded Files into temporary holding space; then, empty the folder contents within LTR5 as needed.
It’s awkward , inefficient . But, it is a temporary solution in holding files until its decided to permanently delete files. This is a short term solution till Issue is corrected.
Does anyone else have this problem? Suggestions?

Thank you for sharing this thread #Post 31. Ill try permissions tweaking and see of that works .
This was a first for me being a beta tester for LTR5 . I do wonder when I bought the upgrade and Downloaded LTR5 that bug appeared beacuse of being a beta tester .
Trying to rule out all sorts of things here :
Wonder if doing a an uninstall and doing a reinstall will help? Would it be a realistic painless step?
Yesterday I worked on LTR editing files from Hard drive many hours with bug active .
Then all of sudden it was working ( Th1s is 3rd time its happened). If I close LTR5 then reopen later bug appears again. I cant yet isolate the cause for files to move and be trashed normallly! Earlier I have trashed prefs . Also,creating test catalogues didnt work . Tried other older drives; that failed. Will try internal drive.
LTR 4 and earlier was bugfree so this is first time i have encountered a stubborn bug . Its as bad as mosquitoes buzzing.
Wonder if the reinstall is best guaranteed solution other than uncheck my permissions.?
I really appreciate the info from thread 31. Thank you .
I'll get the bug booted.

How can I get data back that is in the trash?

I don't seem to be able to retreive clips or other data that end up in the trash. When I click on the trash icon contained in the app I am only given the option of Cancel or Empty. Is that it? Once the data is in there it's gone? Thanks.

iMovie 4 trash is a sort of virtual trash in that there isn't really a location where things are put (like your system trash) but instead a representation of how much stuff you cut out of your project. If you click empty (and never due that in iMovie 4 as there is a bug that sometimes trashes your project) what happens is iMovie rewrites all the media files to get rid of the stuff you clipped or deleted.
So there are ways to get your stuff back. One way is to select any clip and pick the restore option which will reset the clip back to the way it was before you made cuts. The downside of this is that you lose all your edits on that clip and have to redo them over if the one you wanted to undo is several edits back.
You might try this instead. Assuming your clips are all off the clip shelf and now down on the timeline, grab all the clips on the timeline, hold down the OPTION key and then drag them all back to the Clip Pane. As you drag up there while holding the OPTION key, you should see a green circle with a ( + ) in it. This means you are making a COPY to the shelf, not moving them. Drop them on the clip shelf. Now select clips on the shelf and do a restore on them from that location. I think this will let you restore the clips to their original size on the shelf while the ones on the timeline will remain untouched. Hopefully you will find what you lost.
In the future, the best way to edit in iM4 to avoid this sort of thing is to import all your clips normally onto the clip shelf on the upper right side. Now rather than dragging them down to the timeline (removing them from the clip shelf) and editing them, OPTION drag them to the timeline which will make a copy to the timeline rather than a move. Don't worry about drive space. When you make copies, they are not real copies (the media files are not duplicated) but instead just additional virtual copies, so you can make as many as you want with very little impact on drive space.
Now you can edit to your heart's content on the timeline and if you ever make a mistake or need to get back a piece of clip you deleted, the full copy remains safe and unedited up and over on the clip shelf. You can always drag down additional copies if you need to get back footage or if you want to use the same footage more than once.

Library crashes/can't empty trash

I have this problematic library which I'm trying to salvage. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I think I "overloaded" iPhoto with too many photos which included JPG and RAW equivalents, so it crashed. I've tried all sorts of things including suggestions given here to fix it, but as I'm left with lots of "empty" images in addition to the normal photos (iPhoto seems to display those empty ones as normal photos as they have their filenames/keywords, but they just have the background color of iPhoto -there's nothing but empty frames there).
(Oh, before you mention trashing the iPhoto preference files etc. I can say that I have no problem with other libraries, so iPhoto itself seems OK).
...So I've found out that I really just need to save all the "real" photos in folders on my Finder desktop, then create a new library where I import those folders (I use "iPhoto buddy" which allows me to create several iPhoto libraries, which has allowed me to split up my photos into several much smaller ones -iPhoto seems to become pretty fragile if trying to handle a lot of photos and often crashes when I exit).
Anyway, the "ghost" (empty) images that show up in my albums also seem to make iPhoto work hard. Whenever there are any such empty images in an album I'm viewing, the Mac "beachball" spins for a while (probably about a minute or so, depending on how many empty images there are) not allowing me to do anything but wait. so I really have to delete those images (I think they're actually thumbnails of non-existing images) in order to make iPhoto respond, or exporting my "real" images will take forever to do.
I've found a solution on how to display only a few "ghost" images at a time: by creating a smart-album with the keyword "Raw image" along with the date range (keeping the date range small).
OK, so I'm able to display just a few "ghost" images at a time, which I choose to trash.
When I'm done with several files and want to call it quits for the time being I want to empty the trash which works fine.
But when that's done and I want to quit I get an error message saying that iPhoto has unexpectedly quit (or something like that). I also notice (by using the "Activity monitor") that iPhoto is using an awful lot of CPU power (80% or something, which turns my Powerbook fan on) when I try to empty the trash.
So when I restart iPhoto again all the files that I've trashed are still there and everything I've done has been reverted to the way it was before (I've understood that if iPhoto crashes all my editing is lost and I have to start all over again).
I don't know if the trashcan is the main problem, or if my library is generally messed up which just happens to crash iPhoto when I want to exit, but is there a way I can manually (i.e. via the Finder, accessing iPhoto's files/folders directly) empty its trash?
Is there anything else I can do to in order to fix some of these problems while I'm trying to export the photos to various folders on the desktop?

Yes, but the problem with the rebuilding is that the library usually gets altered in some way. I've spent considerable time perfecting my library with albums and folders, so what I want to do is just keep the damaged library unchanged so I can try to recreate a different library by looking at how my damaged one is set up.
But, the "ghost" images have to go. I've had a closer look at everything and I have a theory about what's going on.
The "ghost" images are probably thumbnails of non-existing images (probably the RAW files that I deleted a while back, creating a different library), and iPhoto probably crashed after I had deleted the images, but before the setup files was re-written (iPhoto seems to do this sort of thing while it quits, so if it crashes while quitting I get into trouble).
Now, I'm thinking that if the actual RAW images are gone, but iPhoto doesn't understand that (because the library setup files weren't updated with that information) it'll still try to create thumbnails, but from non-existing images.
I've found lots of zero length JPG files within the library folder (I used the "Find" function in the Finder to search for files less than 1 KB in that library folder).
So I've tried to delete all those zero image files (from the Finder), then restart iPhoto, but the "ghost" thumbnails are still there.
So I guess the trick is to make iPhoto rewrite its index file(s), but omitting the zero filelength JPGs for those missing RAW images. And all while NOT changing anything else in the library setup.
How do I do that?

Problem sorting items in finder window

I've searched other posts and seen that others are having similar issues however, I can't a solution to my problem.
In a finder window in list view, in the upper part of the window, I have Name, Date Modified, Size and Kind. Before I upgraded to Mavericks, I could click any of those options and the window would sort accordingly. Now, if I want to sort a window, I have to open the view options and do it that way. The weird thing is, I have a RAID connected via esata and it works like it should on any window I open from that drive. Any suggestions?

Might be corrupted Finder preferences.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try the Finder.

Imovie puts files in trash when reopening project

I have captured 2 dv-tapes, which results in 450+ clips. When the project is saved and opened again, imovie has put alle the clips of the second tape in the trash. Dropping them from the trash onto the timeline is no option, because they are all in a random order, and i don't know of any way to sort them (only manually, which will take me forever.
Is this happening because there are too much clips in this project?

Welcome to the iMovie Discussion.
Is the project saved on an external disk? If so, and if the disk doesn't use the Mac OS Extended disk format, what you see can occur.
iMovie requires the Mac OS Extended format, and when the disk uses another format iMovie is unable to reliably write/read to the disk. As a result, the file inside the project that keeps track of the clips can't be written properly to disk. Then, when the project re-opens, iMovie sees clips inside the project but doesn't know where they belong. It shows them in the trash so you can place them where they belong.
Trouble is, when you move them back to where they belong they may end up in the Trash again when you re-open the project.
So check out the disk format, and fix the problem if it exists. Here's more about it:

How do i arrange deleted files (in trash) in order of deletion time/date?

I accidentaly deleted several files (not sure of their files names, at least not all of them) so went to the trash to recover them and i didn't find a way to arrange or sort them by date of deletion. Given that they were just deleted it would have been the last 5-6 files or so. But i don't remember the files names or when they were last accessed of course! Is there any way to just short by deletion time and be done with that???

Thanks for the very quick response Nick .. this helped but it didn't seem to work for me (Mt. Lion on MBP).
i just don't see anything under "Date Added" !
I tried to create and delete a file after adding this column - same thing, all i get is "--" !
Any ideas how to fix this ?
