When I try to empty my trash it says it cannot be done because the item "resources" is in use. What do I do?

I have to uninstall my itunes (and I followed all the instructions for that on this website http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224) and the last thing I need to do is empty my trash. But it won't let me. How do I fix this?

Reboot before emptying the Trash, as stated in the article.

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 am getting error code 8003 when I try to empty my trash. Any help? This happen right after I tried to clear my backup HD.

Greetings,
If you dragged items from a TimeMachine backup drive to the trash then that is most likely the cause of the issue. Do not move files from the TimeMachine backup into the trash (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427).
If your backup drive only contains a timemachine backup then you will want to reformat that drive:

Keep in mind that before you reformat the backup drive that you remove any files you wish to keep to your computer.
Cheers.

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.

I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update on iTunes, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I wouldn't mind leaving it be but I can't access any of my photos. What do I do?

iOS is on iPhones and iPads.
Are you using an iPhone or iPad?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

When i try to open my itues it says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, and try again"

I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.

When I try backing up to icloud it says that I have gone over the free 5gb. It shows that I have 4.6 gb of pictures in my camera roll when I barely have over 200 pictures! Any similiar problems or possible solutions?

You're welcome. Given the number of people who seem to have problems restoring photos from their backup I wouldn't trust the iCloud backup for my photos anyway. I always import them to my computer at least weekly. That way I know I have them.
You might want to check out the app PhotoSync. It makes this pretty easy as it transfers them to your computer wirelessly and keeps track of which ones have already been transferred.

Perhaps try the "Error -609" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Thanks for the help!
Unfortunately, the proposed option does not help you, as before when trying to check in icloud you see the same. Just not when you try to turn on Face Time the message "Waiting for activation" and all, Face Time icon on the desktop is not ...
