What happened to my Trash?
Hi,
I have what is probably an extremely trivial question but I did a google search and wasn't able to find a remedy. When I delete a file or choose to "Move to Trash," it prompts me: "The item "insert item name" will be deleted immediately. Are you sure you want to continue?" Now that's all well and good but let's say I'd like it to first go to the Trash, what needs to be changed for this to happen? Thanks so much for the help!
Mike
Click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon and verify that you are able to write to this folder in the Sharing & Permissions section of the Get Info window, and that it isn't locked; if it is already set this way and you get that error, open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
mkdir ~/.Trash
If you get a message stating that the folder exists, run the following:
sudo chown $UID ~/.Trash
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
The first command in the second set will prompt you for your administrator password; nothing will appear in the Terminal window while it is being typed. In either case, click on the Finder icon in the Dock with the Control and Option keys pressed, and relaunch it.

What happened to the trash option in the new iOS mail?
Nothing at all.
It still works the same way for me as it always did. It might help if you specified which email provider you use - for instance I believe that Gmail has its own way of deleting/archiving emails so you need to be more specific than ..."what happened to the trash option in the new iOS mail". -
What happened to the trash in iMovie?
after moving events to trash, the trash can icon or option is not there and the trash can in iPhoto only contains what I deleted in iPhoto and Not iMovie.
Ive looked through countless forums on this and have NO IDEA how nobody's found it yet. Apple claims that it no longer exists, and that everything goes directly to the trash in Finder, but thats not the case because I just recently found it on my own. Go to Finder>Go>Home>Movies then right click "iMovie Library" then click "Show Package Contents." Miraculously, there will be a "trash" folder with god knows how many hundreds/thousands of deleted clips. Hope this helps.

Has anyone noticed that the option to open/empty the Trash has been removed in 8.01 ? I've searched the menus and the key commands looking for it. I've been trying to save some groove templates in a song template but they are emptied from the Trash when I save the song template. There was an option to disable this behavior in previous versions. Any insight would be appreciated.
-GKResultsOriented,
I never noticed a sound before personally, so I tested it on my iPhone running 2.1 and found another iPhone running software version 1.1.4. I couldn't get either to make a sound when deleting trash. I know Mac OS X makes a sound when emptying trash; this is the only sound I am aware of.

What happens if I trash a post? I am a beginer.
I see that there is a Trash option for an existing post. When should I use it?
You should be able to edit the posting to fix whatever you trashed, if you are talking about this particular support forum. AFAIK, only the moderators have a Delete button for threads and postings and we use it very rarely, if at all. The "Lock" is used more frequently.

Quite the trial to sign in to freaking Apple support. I apparently made an account with my primary e-mail, but damned if I can recover the password, apparently I don't know my own birthday. So I had to make a new account with another e-mail, and even when I thought it was done, no, I had to fill out more information before I could get to this screen. You won't let me ask for tech support from your message board without my mailing address? Then my completely inoccuous user name was rejected for containing banned words. Lemurs and cats are profane now, what? This is why I hate computers.
Anyway, I've got Mac OS X 4.something, can't check because it is shut down, and I already described my problem in the subject there before I got dragged back into account creation. I searched several places for answers but all I can find are discussions about double beeping at startup (even when excluding the word "startup" from search results), while my double beeping started all of a sudden when the computer was in use. The beeps were certainly less than a minute apart. What happened? What do I need to do about it? Is it safe to start the computer up again? Fortunately my files are pretty much all backed up.I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder. in the dialogue box type
/var/db/crls
In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash. It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards. I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process. It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem. Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck. -
What happens to the rendered animated buttons on sub-menus
I am on a 3GB of memory MacBook Pro using Encore (CS3). Here is a description of how I have produced a working DVD...so far 3 out of 5 DVDs I have tried to render have worked.
ANYWAY...seems that Encore implodes when I try to render the same project more than one at a time. Encore chokes and I am back in the MAC OS.
HERE is my main question...every time it blows it seems to blow away the RENDERED ANIMATED BUTTONS on the secondary menu. SO each time I try this again I have to re-render the buttons taking about 1.5 hours. Why do I have to re-render...why aren't the rendered 2nd level menus SAVED.
To make it clear...after I rendered the menus...previewed...saw the buttons are animated...SAVED...try to write a DVD Disc from the Current Project...succeed...try to burn another DVD...it aborts (why...I have no idea)...I empty trash...bring up Encore again...try to preview the secondary menu...NO ANIMATION there so have to rerender and start all over.
I have been reading about compatibility of DVD disc, computer players and DVD players...what a PILE...without all the techies our there we can't make a dependable environment to create, burn and play DVDs...these companies should be ashamed...all they are doing is producing a whole bunch of frustrated producers (or lack of producing producers).
Can anyone shed a light on my problem!?!?
Thanks, --bill
p.s. Are there better forums than here at Adobe? Seems I don't get many if any replies to queries.Bill,
A couple of questions, mainly to make sure that I understand what is happening.
1.) There are two files (an audio and a MOV), that show in the Orphanage, when you Check Project. Do they appear there BEFORE you Check Project, or only AFTER?
2.) Do they appear BEFORE in your Project Panel, or only AFTER you Check Project?
3.) Since they are Orphans, I assume that you do not intend to use them in this Project - right? Were they ever in the Project (Imported as Assets, or Timelines)?
4.) Was this Project started fresh, or did you modify an existing Project, to create it, say using a Save_As, etc.?
5.) If they were not Imported into this Project, were they Imported into another Project, that is/was being worked on coincidental to this one?
6.) Can you find these files on your system? Where are they located?
If 1.) is After and 2.) is After, then your Project might be corrupt. The Assets/Timelines/etc. are linked to the Project by XML. This can become corrupt for many reasons, most are often unknown - power dip, or hardware issue on Save, etc..
Two ways to check this theory, is to start the Project from scratch, and see what happens. Another is to use a freeware program, XML Wrench, and run the Project file through it. Aside from pointing out broken links, and other problems, it should also allow you to search for these files names in the body. Save a copy of the Project file, so you will have it untouched, and then remove any lines, that reference these files. Save_As (new Project name) and open that in Encore. Being on MAC, doesnt every data file have a finder file, associated with it? Could this finder file be cross-linked, in some way, to your real Assets?
It could be that there is a hardware issue, and this causes the links to the Rendered files to become broken, and also to link to files, that should not be included. Any other strange things with your system lately? I do not know the MAC folder/file structure, but can you do the equivalent of Windows Check Disk? If so, set it to find lost clusters, or whatever MAC calls them.
Also, being on PC, I do not know what utilities might be available for your OS, or what other programs might be causing a problem. On PCs, other DVD burning software, especially if their packet-writing applet is installed, can cause havoc with Encore and are discouraged. Anything else installed, and/or running, that you can think of?
Sorry to play twenty questions, but Id like to be as clear, as I can, on exactly what is happening, before I make too many more guesses.

How can i see what is in my trash on my macbook air?
I want to see what is in my trash before I empty it, but I cant see anything when i click on the icon, it is like a screen is covering the contents.
It is a really BAD idea to move items from the Applications or Applications -> Utilities folders to your desktop or any other folder, and as John Galt says, it should have been in your Applications -> Utilities folder.
If you want a fast access to such an app, create an Alias and put that Alias anywhere you iike (Finder -> File -> Make Alias). Make several aliases of the app if you want it in multiple location, just do not move the original.
When Apple standard programs and utilities are not in their expected locations several bad things can happen.
After an update/upgrade you might get a newer copy in the official location, but keep using the old version because you keep clicking on your desktop copy, and then wonder why it is not working correctly with the updated/upgraded Mac software.
Some functions may fail, if some other app that expects to be able to launch the standard app cannot find it in the standard location.
If it is an essentail utility you may be even brick your Mac, turning it into a door stop.
Pleaes uses Aliases and do not move things our of their Applications or Applications -> Utilities locations. -
Any idea what happened and how to fix it?
Hopefully I can explain this weird and confusing situation. Before I explain what happened, let me say that I have multiple hard drives internal and external with backups of each. Now the problem with my Mac Pro started when the trash was emptying. A usb thumb drive was removed while a file that was on it was still up on my screen, so the drive was removed improperly. While it just sat there with the bar turning in the empty trash window, I went to one of my hard drives to look for a file. The folders were all there but all were empty. Anyway, I had to turn it off by holding down the on/off button when force quit wouldn't work. Once I restarted, the hard drive where I had the empty folders, was now missing with no record of it. Also, my main HD acted like it was set back several weeks. It loaded emails that were already viewed and deleted, software I had recently installed wasn't there, and disk utilities wouldn't let me do anything to the main HD backup. I had to go to restart the comp with the option key and only then did it let me erase the main HD backup. Once I did reformat the backup, the main drive which was an exact clone of the backup through SUPPERDUPER, now showed the software I had installed and acted normal. However, the hard drive that showed the empty folder is still missing and disk utilities can't help me... What the heck happened and how do I find my drive and how do I fix this mess? Thanks
it let me erase the main HD backup. Once I did reformat the backup,
Do you mean: "Let you Restore the main HD From the backup?"

Last night the mail application from Apple lost all my old emails, which were stored in mailboxes, neatly sorted by category. What happened and how do I find them?
Details: I shut down mail to run errands outside my office. My late model MacBook Pro was on "sleep". When I returned, I opened the application, and (RATS!) all the mailboxes were missing. They just evaporated.
Operating system: 10.7.2 - all software updates installed and current as of 24 hours ago (12-30-11, 6 AM EST).
ln the mail program, the trash folder is OK and the sent folder is OK.
Yesterday, I did no maintenance on my mail folders.
HELP!1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail. Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix: usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected. There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time. Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
Never seen that before. That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files. -
After connecting my iphone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone yesterday, my Pages application is gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back? Its not in my trash or anywhere else.
The other 2 applications open like normal. All three give me info.
Pages ver.4.1 265.8MB
Numbers ver. 2.1 89.5MB
Keynote ver. 5.1.1 238.1MB
They all list Apr 3 as the last time opened. That was when I upgraded to Mavericks. I certainly used pages and numbers since then as I have alot of my work files on this computer?
Just very odd. I did find my original iWorks disc from when I bought the computer. I'm assuming i can reinstall it. Will try that. Thank you for all your help. Would still like to know what did happen?

What happens when I click "Order" - SRM 5.0
I have a scenario where shopping carts were marked complete, but purchase orders were not created. We had some application server problems, and RFC connections were working intermittently for a short while - which caused this problem. The shopping carts create local purchase orders in SRM (not in ECC).
SO, I am trying to determine where this process could have been broken. We have the case where I can click on the trash can to delete a shopping cart that does not have a PO, and I can view the details of the shopping cart and note that there are no follow-on documents. However, when I try to delete this shopping cart, i get a warning message saying that deletion is not possible, because follow-on documents exist.
Is there some user exit, some job that was called and failed, some workflow that is triggered, etc?
I have tried to run every possible job, have reviewed all workflows, and can not find any error. I had all users recreate and reorder their carts, and the problem is solved - BUT I don't know the root cause of this, and do not truly understand what happens between clicking "order" and the workflow in the PO to auto approve (as we are using Procurement cards, and the workflow is being triggered to auto approve). In the case noted above the cart is ordered and approved, but the PO is not created and the PO auto-approval workflow is never started. (I can't retrigger because no GUI-ID is being generated either).
