When I try to delete the trash bin in iphoto, the program freezes?

When I try to delete the trash bin from iphoto the program freezes. The only way to get out is to hold the on/off button down shut the computer off. Can anyone tell me what to do to fix this?

How many items in the trash?

    I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.

    I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport

  • Is there a way to tell when the trash bin in iPhoto was emptied?

    I am a teacher. I lost some very important photos and was under the impression that one of my students deleted them because she was mad at me. I was confused about how she did this because the main trash bin was still completely full. I didn't think until I got home about the trash bin in iPhoto. After a couple of tests, I think this is probably how she deleted the (since-recovered) photos.
    My question is, am I able to tell when photos were deleted from iPhoto?

    None that I know of.
    Regards

  • I delete e-mail regularly and empty the trash bin. Today the whole last 2 months reapperae in the inbox. Why and how to I keep that from happening?

    I delete e-mail regulary, put iit n the trash and empty the trash bin. Today all of the last two months incoming mail reappered in the inbox. Why, and how do I avoid this?

    This is standard guidance, but maybe it will help...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove your Yahoo cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    This will open a dialog where you can remove the individual cookies.
    Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does it work any better?

  • Iphoto crashing when i try to delete my trash - i have 35,000 images in trash

    Hi, I have over the years gathered more and more duplicates of images within my Iphoto library. Last year i got a new MacBook Pro and just dragged and dropped 101,000 images that went into on event! annoying as i copied my old library - thats not really the issue. The issue is i just purchase Sweeper that found 35,000 duplicates and moved them to the trash within iphoto - so it did its job - now iphoto will not empty trash can! HELP! I just want to clean up my new MAC!

    What is the application you used and the link to thecsupport page?  I have never heard of is Ned web searches come up with major malware under sweeper
    In general you need to delete in small batches of 100 or so emptying the iPhoto trash for each batch
    Probably the best solution is to start over trashing the bad library, connecting the two systems together and dragging the iPhoto library from the old system to the pictures folder of the new one. Launch iPhoto to convert the library. Purchase and use duplicate annaliator to handle duplicates

  • When I try to delete an audiobook I can remove the content ok but the cover art is left and I can't figure out how to remove it.  Ant suggestions?

    Its gone from itunes on my notebook but the art stlll appears in the audiobook section of itunes on the iPad.

    Hello Suddsjack,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    iPad
    Before you delete, be sure you have a backup of the audiobook. You will need to repurchase it if you want to download it again. To delete an audiobook:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the More category.
    Tap Audiobooks.
    Tap and hold the audiobook you want to delete.
    Tap the "x" that appears on it.
    Best of luck,

  • When I try to delete events on my iPhone calendar, the event momentarily disappears, but comes back within a second.

    The title says it all.
    I'm having my iphone calendar sync with my google calendar. I had a repeating event that I tried to delete - I tried deleting both just this event, as well as trying to delete all future events, but either way, the event is only temporarily deleted. It disappears for a bit, but reappears almost instantaneously.
    Any ideas?
    - will

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • Recently when I try to delete mail on my mac-mini I get the following message: The message "..." could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash - On My Mac" How can I delete mail?

    My problem: When I try to delete an  email message I get the message - "The message “...” could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — On My Mac.”
    It appear that when I try to delete an email on my mac-mini a copy of the message goes to trash and I can delete it, but the original message stays in my regular list of emails. How do I get my Mail program to return to its normal delete function?

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

  • For several weeks, Thunderbird downloads the same emails more than once, back to back. Also when I try to delete messages, "Thunderbird does not respond."

    The entire screen whites out when I try to delete or open another email. The margin above the File button shows that "Thunderbird is not responding." Finally, a new window appears in the middle of the screen asking me if I want to close Thunderbird. I am not sure if this problem started when I renewed my McAfee Total Protection program approx. 2 months ago. I also have over 1000 messages saved in both received emails and sent emails. I would like to just highlight a full page of them and delete all messages at once, but this is not possible.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    If you have not already I would change the Slide size to something that has a 4:3 Ratio.
    The Buddy maybe trying to scroll left and right to see the whole slide although this shoud be controlled at you end.
    I would open the Connection Doctor during a Chat  (iChat's Video menu).
    Check that both Bit Rates are relatively stable (there is always some variance.)
    Anything over 5% particularly if over 500kbps is likely to be causing problems.
    You could try limiting the Bandwidth (iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section) to 500kbps at both ends
    It may pay to drop to 200kbps as a test.  (you may lose the Side by Side presentation at this speed).

  • When I try to delete my email it says it cannot be moved to the mailbox trash

    When I try to delete email it says it cannot move to the mailbox trash. This must be a setting but I have the same problem on my iPads also. Anybody seen this?

    Katy, you are completely doing things in the wrong order.  You can't burn songs if you can't even play them, and iTunes can't play them if it can't find them. 
    The exclamation point normally occurs if the song file, or one of its containing folders, has been moved, renamed or deleted.  So if you encounter a track with an exclamation point, don't do anything else until you find the file.  It is usually somewhere else on your hard drive, or else in the Recycle bin.  Failing both of those, get it from your most recent backup.
    After your restore it, make sure it can play.  If it can play you can put it into a playlist.  Then you can burn the playlist.

  • I have sent a file to the trash bin. When I come to empty the trash bin everything goes out except this one particular file and I get a note saying the file is 'in use' but it is not. How can I delete this file from trash?

    I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.2. I have sent a work file to the trash bin along with many other files. When I empty the trash this one particular file remains and I get a message that this file is still in use. I have tried returning the file to my documents, opening it, closing it and then sending it to trash and again I try to empty trash but the same message comes up - Q - How can I trash this file permanently?

    First just try logging out and back in.  Whatever is holding on to it may not be running after the logout thus freeing it so you can trash it after logging back in.
    You might also try Trash It!
    Lastly, look at the following for suggestions:
