When I drag files to trash, I only get option to eliminate entirely

When I drag files to trash, I only get the option to delete entirely, except for those which were from the desktop.

When you go to the preferences for Finder, is the last box checked or unchecked? There are settings here to change wether you delete securely or just delete.

  • When I download files in Firefox they only get about 99% complete even though it tells me they downloaded successfully.

    9 out of 10 times my download gets truncated in Firefox. For example, let's say I was downloading a 42.2 mB file, it would get to about 42.18 and then complete. I would then try to open the file to find it was corrupt. I would then open up IE9 and download the exact same file, and I would get the full 42.2 mB and the file would open flawlessly. I have tried disabling all extensions/addons, nothing. I have reinstalled Firefox cleanly a few times, no dice. I have tried disabling any file system protections I have, nada. I'm at a loss right now as to what else I can try. I love Firefox, I've been using it since it's original release, but I need to be able to download. Every other browser I've tried works great in that department, except for Firefox all of a sudden. Anyone have an idea?

    Just tried that, but the issue persists. Any other ideas?

    Go to the Finder - click anywhere on your Mac's desktop, and choose File > New Folder.
    If a folder appears on your Desktop then you can ignore the reference to the house icon.
    Continue from where he wrote "open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder "
    You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
    In the Terminal window, you will do something like this

    mkdir: /Users/john/.Trash: File exists
    Johns-iMac:~ john$ sudo chown $UID ~/.Trash
    Password:    (type your password then press Return)
    Johns-iMac:~ john$ chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
    Johns-iMac:~ john$
    You will be typing the entries in red exactly as shown. Press the Return key at the end of each line.
    Quit Terminal.
    Drag the folder you just created to the Trash and confirm that it appears in the Trash.
    Empty the Trash.

  • I have a 7 minute MP3 that I want to edit, however when I drag it into garageband it only pulls in the first 3:30.  Any thoughts on why?

    I have a 7 minute MP3 that I want to edit, however when I drag it into garageband it only pulls in the first 3:30.  Any thoughts on why?  At the 3:30 mark in the song there is a pause but then it starts back up but for some reason the program won't pull in the part of the song beyond the pause.   Thanks!

    Does the File belong to a Drive that isn't connected at the moment...

  • HT4236 I have my photos in folders with subfolders on my pc.  When I sync to my Ipad I only get the folders but not the subfolders, so all pictures came over but not broken into each subfolder.  WHY?

    I have my photos in folders with subfolders on my pc  When I sync to my Ipad I only get the main folder but not the subfolders.  All pictures that are in the subfolders are synced but in no order.  I checked to sync all folders.  Help!

    Thanks for your reply.
    Does that mean that as its just another way of accessing my photos then it does not increase double up on memory ? In my photo library after repeated sycs on my IP 4 there appear to be 3 identical pictures in a row sometime just 2, why would this be if its just another way of accessing my pics, this confuses me.

  • Dragging file to trash, warns of deletion

    At my job as a graphic artist, we have new 24" iMacs with Leopard. We have a server. When dragging to the trash a file I no longer need from a shared folder, I get a dialog warning me that the file will be deleted immediately. Why can't I have the file remain in the trash until I want to empty it? This only seems to happen with files from shared folder, not for files from my computer directly where it stays in the trash as normal until I wish to empty it. My workaround is to have a "Shared Trash" folder on the desktop for the files I'm done with, but don't wish to delete yet.

    Because when you're deleting the file on the server you're deleting it directly on the server. In order for it to go to your trash it would first have to be copied to your local Mac and the be put in the trash...which isn't very efficient.
    This is the way all network shares (drives) work. Both in Windows and on OSX. It's just the nature of the beast.
    Only files on that are stored on your computer will make it to trash.

  • Finder crashes & restarts on dragging files into trash or emptying trash

    Today, for no reason that I can fathom, finder has started crashing and restarting whenever I drag a file into trash or empty the trash. I realise this is a variation on a theme, but nothing I do seems to affect it. It wasn't happening yesterday but just started today.
    Have created a new test user and they are also affected.
    I have tried the following (based on similar posts I have read):
    Deleting the .plist files (com.apple.finder and the equivalent sidebars)
    Repairing the disk & permissions
    reinstalling the 10.4.6 update
    interpreting the crash.log (not much sense to me I'm afraid)
    .Trash seems fine
    The problem is irritating, and as yet doesn't appear to warrant a complete clean install.
    Any ideas short of this would be gratefully received.
    Cheers

    Should I have deleted myself as Administrator and created a new Administrator identity, instead?
    Not delete your old admin account, just make a new admin account & try that one.
    I read on a different thread to try an Archive and Install. Is this a good option for me?
    10.5.x does an Atchive automatically by itself, in theory you won't loode anything, but without a backup, as well as a problem, there's no guarantee.
    Try this if you haven't...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • FCP Video files burn to DVD, Only gets audio when played

    Hi,
    I know this has been asked many times, but, it's late at night and I'm looking for a quick answer please.
    I burnt ideo clips,which I have exported thru FCP, and burn them straight onto a DVD thru the Finder.
    The person who got the DVD said he only gets audio from the clips, so, he can't see them.
    Have many ideas of what I should do, but, what is the most common solution to this problem?

    #48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD or HDV or ProRes on my computer.
    Shane's Stock Answer #48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD, HDV or ProRes QT files on your computer.
    The DVCPRO HD, HDV and ProRes codecs only comes with FCP. If your computer does not have FCP installed, it cannot view these quicktime files. It doesn't matter if it is a Mac or PC, without FCP installed, you cannot view these files.
    If you need to view ProRes material, you can download the ProRes decoder (mac and windows compatible) for ProRes
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forWindows.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forMac
    If your footage was captured as DVCRO HD you can buy the Calibrated DVCPRO HD decoder:
    http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QDVCProHD.asp
    HDV, XDCAM? Calibrated has you covered too:
    http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp
    If you have MXF files from a P2 camera and you need to view the footage on a computer without FCP, you can download P2CMS from Panasonic:
    http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/p2-hd/downloads-and-updates.asp
    Or you need the other party to compress the footage into a format your computer can play, like H.264.

  • When I drag music onto my ipod I get: "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." Solution?

    When I drag a song/album/playlist onto my ipod I get the message "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)."
    I then restored my ipod and synced it to the backup. The error came again, and I did the same. 3 times.
    After that, thinking there may be something bad on the ipod or whatever, I restored it again. This time i DIDN'T sync it to the back-up. It was retuned to factory settings.
    But, hey, here I am now, with the same problem.
    If anyone has any suggestions? Please.

  • HT2905 When I select File Display Duplicates   there is no option to "Display Dulicates" or am I going nuts?

    When I select File. "Display duplicates" is not in the list what am I doing wrong here?

    Make sure you are using the latest iTunes.
    This was removed in iTUnes 11.0.1 and 11.0.2 but reinstated after that.
    It is now in the View menu (not File menu).
