Trash: this will be deleted immediately.

I have search here and ran the terminal script mkdir ~/.Trash
I get the message permission denied. I have repaired all permission but I still can't use the trash function as everything is deleted then and there.

So you did the steps outlined that said:
Emptying the Trash
In some circumstances, folders for which you do not have write permission can end up in the Trash; and you will not be able to delete them or the files contained in them. Remember that in Mac OS X there is not a single Trash folder. Instead, each user has a Trash folder in their home directory (named ".Trash"). There is also a Trash folder for the startup volume, and Trash folders for other volumes or disks. When a user throws away a file on a local non-startup volume, the name of the folder on that volume is "/.Trashes/UID", where UID is the user ID number of the user (which may be seen in NetInfo Manager). In either case, all Trash folders are hidden from the user in the Finder. In these situations you can either start up into Mac OS 9 to locate the files and delete them, or you can use the Terminal application. Issues with emptying the Trash are much less likely to occur in Mac OS X 10.2 or later, since the Finder empties the Trash as the root user. However, issues may still occur with files on remote volumes for which your local root user has no special privileges.
Warning: Typographical error or misuse of the "rm -rf" command can result in data loss. Insertion of a space in the wrong place could result in the complete deletion of data on your hard disk, for example. You may wish to copy and paste the commands below into a text editor to verify spacing. Follow these steps to delete Trash for the logged-in user:
Open the Terminal application.
Type: sudo rm -rf
Note: Type a space after "-rf". The command does not work without the space. Do not press Return until Step 6.
Open your Trash.
Choose Select All from the Edit menu.
Drag all of your Trash into the Terminal window. This causes the Terminal window to automatically fill in the name and location of each item in your Trash.
Press Return.
All of the items in your Trash are deleted. As an alternative method, you may execute these commands. The second and third commands will delete Trash belonging to other users. The commands are:

How do i delete files in my trash that will not delete

I am having trouble deleting files in my trash that will not delete. I tried unlocking locked files but it will not let me unlock them while they are in trash. I also can not pull them back out of trash to unlock. They remain stuck in trash. Please help.

Here's a link that should help resolve your issue:

(BTW...I found this by looking to the right on this board, under More Like This).
Please let us know if this fixes things for you.

I am using iPhoto 2009. If I empty the trash bin, will it delete those pictures from albums I have created? I noticed some of the pictures appear to be the same in both the trash and album.

I have a lot of photos in my trash bin and was thinking about emptying the trash. However, I got a message that said that if emptied, I would not be able to recover them. I chickened out. I looked at several pictures in the trash and noticed that they were the same pictures in albums that I had created. I compared the numbers shown on those pictures in the trash and found that they were the same as the numbers shown in on the pictures in the albums that I had created. I would like to delete the pictures to create more space, but I don't want to lose pictures that I can't replace.

yes - albums are not copies or places - they are pointers in the databae pointing to the photo in the library - you can see it in an album, under photos or under events - but it is all the same photo - if you delete it it is gone everyplace - and no additiponal space is used for an album (or many albums - a photo can be in many albums without using any additional space
Only put photos that you do not want to keep in the trash
How much free space do you have on the disk volume that the iPhoto library is on?

Deleted immediately

hi all...
i have a a question about my server.
point,
i have mac mini with OS X 10.4 server installed, and Power Mac G4 with OS X Server 10.3 installed.
Both of them have a same problem.
I have Mac OS 9.2 as client and some OS X machine as client.
problem...
when the client computer (OS Classic) when to deleted file(s) on my server (both server), it has no problem, the file(s) will moved to the trash immediately.
but, when my OS X client want to deleted file(s), there always a message appears... the message say that the file will be deleted immediately (deleted permanently-the file(s) doesnt go to the trash can.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
thanks for all advice and answer n regards for all mac users..

Thanks for the answer david.
My server is in the Local Area Network.
Then how to take my file(s) back, if i was deleted
it?
You cannot. There is 3rd party recovery software but even that has limited functionality in OSX (whether client or server).
Any suggests for my problem, so it wont happend on my
local area network?
I just want it work like i did with classic client.
It doesn't.
Only 'solution' (that I am aware of) is to have good backup schedule and use a 'temporary' user-created 'trash' folder at the top of all shares which people move files into rather than the real trash, and which you empty manually.

"Deleted Immediately" Warning

Hello,
I began seeing the following warning every time I tried to move something to the trash this evening.
"The item "__________" will be deleted immediately. Are you sure you want to continue?"
What happened?!?!? I just want to put the files in the trash and not permanently delete them. I am getting this warning on anything I try to move to the trash.
Thanks!

It may not be relevant to your particular situation, but the message you described comes up when you the item being moved to the trash is on a network volume.
The school I work at uses Workgroup Manager running on an XServer. The students each have a folder on the server where they can save their work. Some choose to save their documents on the actual computer which they are working on. When they move a file on the computer to the trash, the file stays there until the trash is emptied. When the file being moved to the trash is in their folder on the server (ie a network volume) the message comes up telling them that it will be deleted immediately.

Time Machine will not delete backups

I am running 10.8.2 and have a recurring message every couple of weeks from Time Machine that says the backup disk is full and the backup could not be completed. I am attempting to have about 750G backed up onto a 1000G Gsafe external drive.
I do notice that everytime my Backup drive is mounted, there are what appears to be 3 old backups in my trash that will not delete when I empty the trash. The system asks me if I want to remove all items or only unlocked items. I select "all items", and the files remain in the trash. I am sure this has something to do with the Time Machine error.
Any ideas?

The backup volume was full. That shouldn't happen, because TM is supposed to manage disk space by deleting snapshots as needed to make room for a new one, up to the last complete snapshot, which is never removed automatically.
One possibility is that you were writing other data to the volume during the backup. Apple recommends that no other data be stored on a backup volume.
Otherwise, I suggest you clear possibly corrupt data from the TM preference file. Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. Click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove the problem disk, then add it back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

Restarting or rebooting of your device is something that should be done regularly.
No this will not delete any data off your phone.
PLEASE reboot your device regularly.
(hold down sleep wake button till you see the red bar reading 'slide to shut off')
Good luck friend.

I am having trouble backing up my ipod touch. It says I should delete my back up and try again. How do I do that and will it delete all my music on my computer/ipod?

How do i delete my back up? I am trying to sync my ipod and it won't work. It says something about the back up being corrupt and that i must delete it and try again. If I do this will it delete my music on my computer/ipod?

Hello mig04,
While looking into the issue you are experiencing I came across some helpful information. In an article called iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992 there are a number of steps to help get your issue resolved.
General troubleshooting
General information
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
Cheers,
Sterling

Application Path Member will be deleted after adding a new Application Path Member in another Application Path List

I expirienced the behaviour that the first item in the Application Path Member from a Application Path List will be deleted as far as the first item in the Application Path Member List will be selected in anather Application Path List without saving. This is according to severals peripherals as well.
Example:
Configuration Manager > Application Path List
In the Application Path List "McalMediaRouting" the following Application Path Members are configured.
For this example, the first Media Routing Domain for the Peripheral is Chat.
Now, adding a new Application Path Member for the Application Path List "SiebelMediaRouting" with a new Media Routing Domain, which is not yet assigned to a Application Path List.
Select the same Peripheral PG1A_CCM and choose the new MediaRouting from the list. At this point the Application Path Memeber with the Media Routing Domain "Chat" will be deleted in the Application Path List "McalMediaRouting". This will be deleted even without saving it.
UCCE Version 9.0.2 used.
Is this per design or is this a defect?
Kind regards
David

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the 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.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

Please take these steps if you're prompted for a password when moving items in your home folder to the Trash.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
