When I delete a file it does not show in trash-why?

When I delete a file I am not challenged for my password, I just have to click the Delete box on the pop up asking me if I'm sure I want to delete the file. The file disappers and there is nothing in the Trash???? Disk permissions seem to be fine.
27" iMac running OS X 10.8.4.
Weird.
Any suggestions?

Apparently the permissions in my Home folder weren't set correctly. Trash is now working correctly.

Acrobat Pro "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file

I have installed CC but Acrobat Pro gives me headaches.
The "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file but something I have worked on in the past.
It forces me to navigates through my hard disk for this very straightforward thing in normal conditions. I precise: Acrobat is the only software reacting like that.
I use Windows7 professional 64bits.

I use what seems to be the latest version available on the Cloud:
To illustrate my point, I open a directory with explorer and double-click on the only PDF in there:
So here it is, open:
When I do a "Save as", it takes me to a totally different place on the disk!

When I "enhance" a photo, it does not show up in slideshow, it is just black

When I "enhance" a photo, it does not show up in slideshow, it is just black. I am using Iphoto. I also can't email these "enhanced" photos.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

File name does not showing the InDesign icon?

I have got few files from my client and they said it is an InDesign CS2 version file. but the file name does not showing the InDesign icon on the file name, though I have CS2 and I have tried other version too.
Also I could not open the file in any version.
Can somebody help me?

there is no screen shot...
You must either post a link to it on another server or embed it into a post using the camera icon on the web page like this:

In my aperture the camera file name does not show under the photo how do I get it to show

In my aperature dislay the camera file number does not show how do I get it to show

Where exactly is the filename missing? Aperture has plenty of places to display metadata.
You configure and enable the display of metadata by defining Metadata presets. One place todo this is the little baggage label icon below the browser:
Press the icon,enable the display of metadata overlays for Browser and Viewer, then press "Edit" to customize the display of the tags you want to be displayed.

I have a old excel file that does not show hiding cell boxes on my Mac.

I have a old excel file that has some hiding info. in some of the cell boxes. I can not see them on my Mac computers. When I click on the cells to see the hidden info. it does not show up.

Are you using Mac OSX version of Excel or the Windows version of Excel? Regardless being specific to Excel, it would be best to ask in the Microsoft Office forums.

The File Explorer does not show links in the folder structure on a computer

Dear all,
My general issue is that, when I connect my Z10 (SW release 10.2.1.2102) via USB, the File Explorer shows some folders from the connected PC. It does not list folders that are links on the computer.
A lot of those links are duplicates in a different language (because of the multilingual version of Windows 7). My particular issue is that I had to move my Documents folder to another disc and created a hardlink to that folder on the primary SSD disc. Now, this link does not show up at all in the File Explorer on my Z10 device.
Anybody knows a workaround, please? Maybe it exists another file manager similar to that one by BB, which could do that...
Thanks for reading!
Cheers,

If you look at the browser use stats you'll see that its kind of useless to preview your site in Safari...
Chrome is poised to overtake IE so its worth setting up your own local server. Its quick and easy.

Sharing a website on your computer
You can use the Apache web server software included with Mac OS X to host a website on your computer. Before doing so, you should already know how to create HTML pages and build websites.
To host a website on your computer:
Use the HTML editor of your choice to create your website. For your site’s homepage, use the filename “index.html” so that web browsers can locate and open it automatically.
Put all of your website’s pages, graphics, and any media files in your home directory’s Sites folder.The existing index.html page will be replaced with your new index.html page.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select the Web Sharing checkbox.
To view webpages you put in your Sites folder:
Open a web browser and go to http://your.computer.address/~yourusername/.
To find your computer’s address, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then select Web Sharing. The address is displayed in the window.
For “yourusername,” use your account name, and make sure you include the ending slash (/). To find your account name, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accounts, and then select your account in the list.
You can also share a website on your computer by placing files in /Library/WebServer/Documents on your hard disk. To place files there, you must be logged in as an administrator. To view these pages, open a web browser and go to http://your.computer.address.
