Trash folder in Library

Hi,
Is it possible to make this trash folder in a Library hidden for other users.
We want to give users access to Library which will have may folders. But we do not want this trash folder visible to users. Is it possible? How to do that?
Thanks
dm

I don't think it is possible.
The trash folder inherits the security configuration of the Library, and it would not be a good idea to override this - it probably is not possible (an FdkException would likely be thrown)
You can rename the trash folder using Web Services, but you cannot move it.
I was curious and tested whether it was possible to relocate the trash folder in to some sub-folder hierarchy under the Library, but this failed. I was thinking you may be able to remove discover access on the sub-folder hierarchy - and then have the trash folder essentially non navigatable to.
I think you are out of luck - unless you decide to disable the trash configuration on the Library.

  • My local folders appear to be in the trash folder, how do i move them?

    I recently got a new PC and migrated my email folders. Since then I have noticed many emails seem to have disappeared when I look for them in trash or sent. I just noticed that my local folders appear to be in the trash folder: when I minimize "trash" they disappear. I'm thinking this may be the reason I keep losing emails but I can't figure out how this happened or to move the folders out of the trash.

    No problem Bob...glad to be of assistance. To change the titles, you can either do this also when you have selected File>Get Info & then select on the "Info" tab or by clicking on the title of each Movie/TV Show in your library.

  • Trash Folder has disappeared from Apple Mail.

    I had to boot into Windows - saw lots of old messages in Inbox
    of Outlook Express so I deleted them. Ooops - they were sitting
    on the MobilMe server. Now I don't even have a Trash folder over
    on Apple Mail in either Tiger or Snow Leopard (2 Macs). How can
    I restore?
    Thanks,

    Is this account POP or IMAP?
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

  • Mail from Trash folder moves itself back to Inbox

    I've been having a bit of an odd problem lately -- items from my Trash automatically re-appear in my inbox. It seems to have started with an e-mail from about three months ago, and whenever I click away to another folder (Sent, Drafts, etc.) and then click back to Inbox, another e-mail (in sequence according to date) will re-appear.
    I have been simply deleting the revived e-mails (assuming they would go back to the trash folder), but I just found out that if I delete one of these e-mails, they are deleted for good.
    My trash folder contains approximately 2700 e-mails, and I know I need to look for a mail archival program, but the problem isn't related to a "limit" on e-mails in a folder as far as I can tell.
    Anybody have any idea as to what might cause this problem?
    Any info would sure be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,

    Is there a reason you keep accumulating mail in the Trash mailbox and never permanently erase it? Using the Trash for archiving purposes just doesn't make sense to me. Why don't you create a custom "On My Mac" mailbox folder for that?
    The following is what I would recommend to someone having your problem in "normal" circumstances. Your situation is clearly unusual, so don't blame me if it doesn't work for you
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/. You may want to make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
    3. Locate the Envelope Index file and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted later if this fixes the problem).
    4. Launch Mail again and let it finish re-indexing everything -- it says it's "importing", but it's just re-creating the Envelope Index file.

  • Can't save messages, can't find trash folder

    I've just tried switching from using webmail (IMP) to using Mail. I can send and receive email, but I'm having a couple of problems.
    First, Mail won't let me save my messages (i.e. those which I'm sending) - I just get the uninformative "Error: Message cannot be saved".
    Second, although I can delete messages, I can't find my trash folder.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Ernie, thanks for your response.
    It’s an IMAP account. I’ve just tried Repair Permissions – that hasn’t done the trick. And I haven’t moved the Mail folder around, at least not to my knowledge. It’s still in the Library.
    In my IMAP account folder in the Finder, I have the three following folders:
    (1) INBOX.imapmbox
    (2) INBOX
    (3) shared
    And in the second of these, INBOX, I have:
    (4) sent-mail.imapmbox
    (5) drafts.imapmbox
    (6) imhoprefs.imapmbox
    Perhaps I should also tell you how the left-hand navigation bar on Mail looks:
    I have three main folders: ‘Inbox’, ‘Sent’ and ‘shared’. ‘Inbox’ contains, as subfolders, the following:
    ‘drafts’
    (ii) ‘imhoprefs’
    (iii) ‘sent-mail’

  • Questions on exporting and the trash folder?

    A friend has i Photo 5 on here iMac (older) and I was trying to copy some of the pictures out of the Trash folder, it wouldn't do it. Well it would copy the file number but it would read zero kilobites. Not sure why this happening, but even in the trash folder it was saying how large each picture was. So I moved them back into the Libary folder and you could view them small version but couldn't enlarge them etc.. I tried to copying them and got the same result, says the information is there but if you try to open the pictures in "picture viewer" or import them into another iPhoto folder you get an error reading. The only thing I can think of is trying to download her whole iPhoto file and then going from there. Any suggestions? Thanks, looks like these where taken with a Cannon Powershot 3 series, camera is about a year old.

    If you fooled around with the folders in finder, you might have done a slight amount of damage to the iPhoto library... if not you can try rebuilding the library:
    Hold down the Option and Command (Apple) Keys and open iPhoto, a window should appear asking if you would like to rebuild etc., check them all... hopefully this will get the library working again.
    If you're only going to copy a few pics, you can drag them out of iphoto to your desktop and then into whatever device you're using to save into. Or you can export the photos using the share > export function...
    You can also copy the entire iPhoto library to an external and open that library in your copy of iPhoto...

  • I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

    I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

    Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
    When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
    Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest. 
    You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
    So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit. 
    You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:

    I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

  • Trash folder in Iphoto is not holding the pictures.

    When I move photos to the trash folder in Iphoto, they completely dissappear without me emptying the trash, they are not in the system trash either. Why is this happening? Why is this happening? I want to be able to check them again before they are gone. How do I fix this?

    This might also help you:
    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurances of that photo in the library.

  • I inadvertently trashed my Iphoto library.  Can it be retrieved like in Windows, you just go to a prior saved recovery point?  It wasn't securely trashed, just trashed.

    I inadvertently trashed my Iphoto library.  Can I retrieve it, like one can restore to an earlier time period on Windows?  I trashed it but I did not use secure trash.

    if you are running Time Machine - launch it and go back to the time you want, select the iPhoot library and click restore
    Step 1 - launch Time Machine (either click on it in the DOCK or double click on it in the applications folder)
    Step 2 - in the resulting window (which looks like a finder window) go back in time to when your iPhoto library had not been trashed
    Step 3 - select the iPhoto library at that time (by default it is in your pictures folder)
    Step 4 - Click on "RESTORE" and restore the iPhoto library from before it was trashed
    Step 5 launch iPhoto (click on iPhoto in the DOCK or double click on it in the applications folder)
    You do not copy or directly access the TM backup - as noted you use TM to restore the iPhoto library
    Additionally, I would assume that I should start from scratch.  Access and delete/trash all the pictures that I've since imported from a disk that I had save them too a year ago, in effect leave Iphoto empty before attempting any restore/import of the file, if possible.  Yes?
    No do not delete anything until this is all sorted out - and if you restore properly you certainly will not have to start over

  • Where is the trash folder in photos

    iPhoto just got updated to Photos on my Macbook Air Yosemite 1-.10.3 Where is the trash folder in Photos? iPhoto had a trash folder and I could go back and search for a photo I'd deleted. I cannot find a trash folder on Photos. What happened to all the photos I had in the trash folder in iPhoto?

    It's not calle Recently Deleted and is reached via the File ➙ Show Recently Deleted menu option. 
    There you can the remove them from the library or return them to the library.

  • Trash folder, how to get it back

    i have noticed that after doing an erase and install on my comp, put tiger 10.6 and then updated to 10.8 via software update, i do not have the trash folder in mail. there are my inbox folders, sent, and junk, but no trash folder icon. how can i get this back in the source pane? thanks

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there's enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it's running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    4. Open Mail. You'll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it's enabled.
    5. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn't be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • Does the TRASH folder go into Time Machine?

    So i've been able to backup time machine the first few times, but after that it says "the backup is too large for the backup volume". I have one folder "excluded" where i add and delete very large files (sometimes up to GBs).
    I'm wondering if i delete these huge files and they go to the TRASH and then I immediately empty the trash...Do they get included into my time machine backup? Could that be what maybe causing the large size error? If so, where is the trash folder so that i can exclude it? Thanks.

  • Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window.  I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.  Any solutions?

    Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window.  I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button. 
    My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx.  Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
    I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library.  A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs.  If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
    Are there any other possible solutions out there? 

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

    Mac Mail trash folder disappeared. Deleted mail now appears in 'drafts' and Any ideas?stays in the 'in box'. Any one have any ideas as to why or how to fix?

    Hi k:
    That file is in your home folder ~(symbol for home)>library>preferences.
    A preference file may (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed. You will need to enter any personal preferences that differ from the default settings.

  • Does time machine work with the trash folder?

    Does time machine work with the trash folder? So if I have the entire aperture library backed up to the time machine. Is it safe to empty the trash folder in aperture? I am able to recover files from time machine later?

    So make a top-level Project called "_Circular File".  Put Images in there that you what to have out of your way but not discarded.
    It really is good and proper to treat the Trash as trash.  I instruct everyone to _empty_ the Aperture Trash at the end of _every_ session.  The reason is this: it is the only time you will remember whether it is safe to delete the items in there.  If you wait, you will then waste time trying to answer "Did I really mean to throw that out?" or, periodically, you'll give up trying to remember, and will empty the Trash without reviewing it.  At the end of every session, examine the Trash, confirm that the items there are trash, and empty it.
    Shocking, perhaps, but you should also empty your system trash every day.  The real-life equivalents are good guides here.  No-one in an office hoards their trash.  If you mean to throw something out, throw it out.  If you don't mean to throw it out, do not put it in the trash.
    I don't know how TM handles the Aperture Trash.  I do know, however, that I would not expect this behavior to remain consistent, and would absolutely recommend against a workflow based on it.
