Trash refuses to empty and reports error -8062

Trash refuses to empty and reports error -8062. Does this mean anything to anyone? I can use a 3rd party utility FileExaminer to do a "super delete" and that takes care of it, but why won't the trash empty normally?
Any ideas appreciated.

One person reported that this happened in Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.21 because their account's numeric UID was in the 130000 range. You can check your numeric UID by looking at the information for your user account in the NetInfo Manager, or by entering 'id -u' into the Terminal without the quote marks. Both applications are in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.

My trash refuses to empty. I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.3.

Hi,
My trash refuses to empty, even when left running overnight. It just seems to freeze and make the computer run really slow. The only way out is to keep the power buton pressed until the computer restarts. It says there are approx 1600 items now in the trash.
I've seen elsewhere to untick "empty trash securely" in preferences, but this was not ticked and never has been.
Is there a way to delete the items one by one?

Here's a related article on trash problems:
The X Lab: Solving Trash Problems
or you could just try using Trash It!.
Update:
If you are going to follow FrenchToast's suggestion then it is rm -rf followed by a space and then drag the file or folder into the terminal window (his post left a space out between the rm and -R -- doesn't matter whether it is -r or -R).

Suddenly my trash box is empty and when I delete an e-mail it does not appear in the trash anymore

Just recently I've been receiving spam and e-mails not addressed to me. My "trash box" is empty and when I delete an e-mail it doesn't move to the trash box. I haven't made any changes. I don't appear to have a "junk" box and when I delete junk mail is just disappears.

fixed it myself..... problem gone

I just migrated from one Mac to another and I got a msg to contact Adobe tech support and report error code 150:30. What do I do?

Reinstall the software properly. Migration is useless due to the specifics of the activation system.

Trash refuses to empty (error code -8003)

I keep trying to empty the trash on my iMac but it refuses. It says "unexpected error occurred" and quotes the error code -8003.
Any suggestions?

Fantastic, thanks a lot, this link was very helpful! Especially when you want to delete all the Time machine backups before you leave for 3 weeks!

Since installing 10.7.3 Mail and Address Book no longer load and report errors. Anyone else experiencing this? Safari works fine.

Everything worked fine prior to the installation. I am aware of bug issues that people are reporting with regard to no applications working and strange error messages. My MacBook Air is fine; my wife's MacBook is fine. It's my iMac 12,1 that isn't.

It is an enormous crash report error rather than a short message. Both Address Book and Mail crash. I restored my iMac to pre-10.7.3 and everything worked fine once more. I downloaded and installed 10.7.3 as a combo a short while ago and the crash report for Address Book and Mail once more returned.
I've just copied the start of the crash report:

My trash can shows empty and other issues with it...

Ok basically, if i delete anything on my mac it should go to my trash can right?
Well i have a few problems with that as follows:
1. Everytime i delete something or move something to the trash it asks me to enter my password everytime, then deletes it, this never used to happen and now all of a sudden it does, this started just before the latest lion update and ive tried everything i know to stop it doing it but failed.
2. When i do delete something, the trash can shows empty on my desktop, and when i open the trash there is nothing inside, so im not able to restore anything if required, so basically if i move anything to trash it just gets permanently deleted instead of storing it in trash first, again this started just before the latest lion update.
I was hoping the update would fix this issue but didnt change it what so ever, i have also tried repairing disk permissions and still no change.
Any ideas on what i can do to fix these problems? Im still new to mac so i dont know all the ins and outs, but any help on this would be appreciated.
Cheers all,
Carl

Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Hi,
The error code 0xC004E003 means that the Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed.
We may need to involve the phone activation center and check if they can resolve the issue:

Meanwhile, you should post your question in the forum mentioned by Kamin of Ressik. They are the most knowledgeable about the topic.
Hope it helps.

Im trying to use itunes and it keeps saying i need quicktime when downloading it stops install and reports error and to go to windows/installer/quicktime.msi

Im trying to download itunes it says i need quicktime that keeps coming up with error saying to go to c;/windows/installer/quicktime.msi what does this mean

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

For some reason trash refuses to empty

Having a big system clear out.
Trash is full of unwanted stuff including time machine back-ups.
For some reason trash commences the secure empty but as soon as it starts it stops.
Any ideas what I need to do to resolve this.
Thanks to anyone who has the time to help.

First, don't do a secure erase. For massive amounts of stuff emptying the trash is slow enough without adding writing zeros to all the stuff.

Might want to try Trash It!.

Trash says "being emptied" for hours, but doesn't empty.

So, about a week ago, I clicked empty my trash. It took a little while. A minute later, I forgot that it was running, so I closed my Mac. When I turned it back on, I realized that the trash was paused emptying and the error started. I couldn't empty my trash anymore. It just appeared like it was running by saying: "Emptying the trash...," but, in fact, it didn't. After waiting for like 10 mins, no items got deleted, so I shut down my Mac by holding the Power button until it shut up. Now, I turn it back on to try again. I waited for like an hour, but it still doesn't work. There are currently only 19 items left and they are all my photos and mp3 songs. I can't put other items to the trash nor empty the items in the trash. If you have any idea, please help ASAP

Force the Trash to empty using Terminal.app
(You will find terminal.app in utility folder)
This technique uses a Terminal command to fore the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
1.
Launch Terminal, located in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
2.
At the Terminal prompt, type the following command exactly as written:
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
Note that:
There is a single space after each of the terms sudorm, and -rf
command.
Assure you have typed the command exactly as written before proceeding: typographical errors in this command can have dire consequences, including erasing your hard drive!
3.
Press Return.
4.
Type your Admin password when prompted, then press Return. The files in the Trash are now deleted.

Report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table k

Hi everybody,
I have two Distinct Databases on two distinct servers. (Oracle Ent. Release 10.2.0.3.0 on AIX 5.3). After I install the latest patch last week, One of the APEX installation has some problems on Home>Application Builder Page. The error message is very random and
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value.
When i change the view (details to icons), everything goes to normal. This error message is reflected some of the pages (report region) of some of my applications randomly. When it appears in a report region, i deselect the order method of the region, the result is normal.
But the other APEX application on the other instance has no problem. It is a bug? or Should i re-install the APEX instance?
Thank you for your interest?
Gökhan ÇATALKAYA

No, but we have a reproducible test case now so we're working on it. See ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value

2TB Ext. Hard Drive is corrupted?, error code -50 and then error code -35 when i try to empty out my trash

okay so a few days ago i received and email for one of my colleagues to do some final editing to a music video. the folder contained 2 videos a rough chops and the main which was about 2-3GB which i dragged on to my external hard drive . and at the time i was trying to install a trial version of parallel lines and me being a newbie to the software i didn't know i need windows installments for it to run lol but yeah... so i was just getting frustrated with the software i kept installing it uninstalling it and then i was thinking my the problem might be because my MacHD space is low (less then 40GBs on my MacHD), so.. i installed it on my hard drive where all my important files are (I'm a graphic designer and do light video editing) video projects and many photoshop projects form 2007 and logs and just a bunch of important files in my hard drive. so because i was so frustrated with the software i wasn't thinking and i installed it on my external 2TB hard drive. and when i realized parallel wasn't working i gave up, uninstalled the program form the hard drive and for some reason when i did that and i tried opening the video my friend had email to me and for some reason it did load up but a few seconds maybe about 10sec in the video is froze and closed my media app (VLC) and when i tried opening other video files it would freeze every few minutes but those specific files i had drag in last were not playing after at least 5 secs and eventually didn't open at all so i restart my computer login and now i get scared i see that my MacBook Pro isn't reading my external hard drive so i search threw forums... i unplug from the wall plug my external hard drive back in my computer and it loaded up but when i opened my external hard drive all my files had that plank white paper icon on my folders (because i have everything organized but subject when you open then drive folder. so... i go in to my projects and nothing, i open my edited photos and nothing... my hart feels like its about to drop and i keep opening files and there is nothing in them, but in "get info" of my drive it shows that there is filled so i go to "disk utility"... i "verify disk" passes ..."repair disk" doesn't past.... i look it up in forums... so i reboot my computer and go to the safe recovery menu. go threw the same ting "disk utility"... verify, pass... repair, pass... so now i feel relieved. i login files in the ext. hard drive load up i tried again to open the files and same thing happens... so now I'm thinking its the files i drag the files to the trash and try to empty and its gone i reboot the computer and my drive didn't load up so i tried unplugin it and back in... drive comes up i notice theres trash.. i tried emptying it and i get the error code -50. and no files are popping up on my external drive and i try to repair/unmount disk and the verify disk doesn't pass and when i click repair disk it doesn't past and another error code pops up -35.... so i felt my drive alone for a few days and yesterday i go the files deleted from the trash and now I'm not getting any codes but when i try to unmount.verify/repair the disk. keeps letting my tits need to be repaired so i click the repair button another error unable to unmount volume to repair...
what do i do? my files still don't show up. and I'm very sorry for the long paragraph but i have to be detailed for you to understand my situation
