Trash icon alsways shows full

Hello,
My trash icon in the dock aways shows that there is something in it. I can't empty it nor can I see anything in it. Also, my startup time seems a little slower, I don't know if the two are related or not.
But if anybody could help with either issues, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi guys,
Had the same problem as most of you. The trash icon showed full even though it was empty.
After trying all the standard procedures, rebuilding desktop and even deleting the trash icon with no positive results I decided to run http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
as I do every once in a while. I don't want to get into what applejack does since you can get better info off this link. In short applejack solved this full trash icon problem and it is free.

Trash icon always shows empty and now I am getting error code -1407

Hi all,
I recently noticed that my trash icon was always showing empty even though I had plenty of files in it. I read in the forums that I should run a repair permissions on my harddrive so I did and then rebooted, but now when I try to delete something I am getting:
The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -1407).
Can anyone help me please? I'm not very technically minded so I hope there is a way to fix this that doesn't require me fussing with code.
Thanks very much for any help/advice!

Awesome WM - How would I get task icons to show full name in tooltip?

I have just icons displaying which tasks are running in my tags. It would be nice to have it show the name of the task when I rollover with a tooltip. Here's the code I have for it so far. I'm not very good with the awesome API, so let me know if any other relivent code from my rc.lua is needed.
tasklist[s] = awful.widget.tasklist(function(c)
local task = { awful.widget.tasklist.label.currenttags(c, s) }
return '', task[2], task[3], task[4]
end, tasklist.buttons)

Still looking for something on this if anyone has any ideas.

Battery icon says/shows full, but it is not actually charged.

My battery icon keeps saying that it is fully charged (or when it's connected to a power source that is it "Finishing Charge...") but when I unplug it, the time says it only has a few minutes left. I've tried restarting my computer, but that didn't work. I'm not really sure what's wrong with it. I've also let the battery die out and then try charging it, but that didn't work. Anyone know what I can do?

Yeah, it was purchased in August 2008. I'm not really sure what a charge cycle is, but I do plug it in and unplug it a lot to a power source. Mainly because I keep my computer on most of the time (either on or on sleep). So between taking it to classes and stuff, I'll recharge in between and when it's really low, otherwise I run it off the battery most of the time.
On a sidenote, I have went to that information thing about about the battery after letting it sit plug in for a few hours, and now it has this information:

Can't find the Trash Icon in email

How do I get the trash icon to show on my email on the upper right side? Right now it only shows the "Move to another folder icon," the arrow for reply, forward, print and the icon for writing a new email. My friends Ipads show these 3 icons and also the trash icon.
I can't find any settings to display this icon on my email.
Thanks...

If you are using the apple built-in mail app , there is no trash icon.
There most certainly is a trash can icon in the preinstalled mail app on the iPad. I mentioned gmail to the OP because I'm pretty sure that gmail uses an archiving system and no trash can icon appears in that account. Or at least I think that is how gmail on the iPad works.

When i drag an item to trash, the pop up message to confirm delete appears. But my trash icon does not show it being full.

Hi
IN my HD/ desktop, whenever I drag an item to the trash, instead of the usual trash icon appearing "full" (ie with trash inside), I get a message confirming me to empty trash.
How do I revert to the usual of the trash icon appearing full and allowing me to drag files out and then decide.
Thanks!

HT4557 Homesharing house icon not showing in menu bar & hr glass circle only half full on ipod when trying to connect to library.

I seen others with the same issue and I read through the links and did not find the answer. In my instance, the homesharing is enabled in iTunes (version 11.5) and on my ipod 4 (version 6.1.3), but in iTunes the house icon and well as the “SHARED” part of the side menu do not show. When I select the library in my ipod the hr glass circle gets half way filled and then stops.
I was thinking it might be my router, so I changed the security settings from WPA to WPA2 (as others have tryed which fixed thier issue) and back with no luck. There was a firmware update that was needed on my router, but that didn't fix it either.
Shouldn't the house icon appear in iTunes regardless whether there is an internet connection to the other device (in this case my ipod)??? I had homesharing working on my old netbook a year or two ago and I thought the house icon always showed when enabled whether I had my system connected to a router or not. I could be wrong though.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello vio412,
Thank you for providing the details of the Home Sharing issue you are experiencing. The Home Sharing icon is not always visible. If you would like it to show so that you can verify you are signed in with the correct account, you can follow these steps:
Go to File > Home Sharing and choose Turn Off Home Sharing.
Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID you'd like to use.
Click Turn On Home Sharing, then Done.
After you press done, it is normal for the Home Sharing icon to disappear. I found these steps in the article listed below. I recommend reviewing the full article to troubleshoot issues with Home Sharing:

Trash can icon always shows as empty after upgrade to 10.6.2

I searched the archives and didn't see any information about this particular situation: my trash can icon always shows as empty even though the trash has items in it.
If I right click on the icon, "Empty Trash" is grayed out, but if I click on the icon I can open the trash can and choose "empty" at the top right of the window. It's not really a big deal, just weird.
Anyone else have this happen?
Kim

V.K., I hadn't had the chance to try creating a new user account yet, but I just noticed the trash showed it had trash and I right clicked the icon and the empty trash option is now available. I chose empty trash and it worked.
I don't what changed...but it seems to be OK now...
Thanks!
Kim

Trash icon not changing when full

The trash icon isn't changing to appear full when I have things in it. How do I change it back to normal?

I would try to relaunch finder from the force quit menu. Apple Logo > Force Quit.
If that doesn't resolve it, I would delete the finder plist in mac hd/users/username/library/preferences.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks,
Kevin

No finder and trash icon

I tried to modify my dock using leopard docks and when I changed it, I lost my finder and trash icon, there is a blank space and when I roll my mouse over it, it shows the name, but not the icon.
And I can`t even get the right-click pop-up menu which I usually get by right-clicking or command+click on my mac.
Please help...

I just noticed that there is no full screen icon on the top right. (The icon wich you can toggle full screen with)

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

PHP icon not showing in design view

I just ordered Studio 8 and currently working on the demo
version of Dreamweaver 8. I had been using FrontPage for many years
and I finally hit it's limitations. I am creating new pages from
scratch and not importing any of my older FrontPage web pages. I am
coding in PHP and noticed this nice php icon that shows in my
design view of where all my php code is. This FrontPage could never
do. I have a table that is doing multiple "include" calls. I am
able to successfully add 2 lines of code, which generates two php
icons in my design view. When I try to add a 3rd line of php code,
it removes all of the nice php icons in the design view. For the
rest of the document, if I add more code, then the icons will not
show up. The PHP is in the code view, but the design view is no
longer showing the php icon. Does anyone have any ideas on how to
make them show up permanently? This is one of many great features
of Dreamweaver that drove me to purchase it.

Thank you for the quick response. I went home and took a look
at my code. It matches pretty closely with what you offered as a
suggestion. That didn't seem to fix the issues I am having. Maybe
there is something I am missing that will stand out for you.
Here is a sample of it:
<td>Item Review 1</td>
<td><div align="center"><?php include('
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/stars_only_by_item_id_listing.php?item_id=5');
?></div>
</td>
<td><div align="center"><a href="
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/index2.php?item_id=5">
link</a></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item Review 2</td>
<td><div align="center"><?php include('
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/stars_only_by_item_id_listing.php?item_id=6');
?></div></td>
Thank you for any help you can offer. This one is really
stumping me. Could it be that I am using the demo version and not
the full version?

File attachment icon not showing in Mail

When I attach a document file in Mail, I want the icon to show. Sometimes the file opens in the body of the email message. This often happens with .pdf files. How to prevent this and have only the icon showing? Never experienced this problem until recently. Caused maybe by the latest OS X update?

Hello Karen,
Thanks for responding. I've tested what you say, and it appears to be mostly correct. However, even multi-page .pdf attachments seem to default to the full view of the first page until I correct it by specifying "Show as icon" - which is not a major inconvenience. Fortunately that correction appears to hold up for the recipient of the email.
It's too bad that there's no way of make 1-pagers show as icons for the recipient.
