Where does my trash go its always empty when i delete files they just disappear and trash is always empty no good if i delete something by mistake !!

can anyone tell me ??

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Where does Front Row get its list of Videos?

    Where does Front Row get its list of Videos? And how do I purge this list? Front Row is listing Videos that no longer exist on my computer and when selected do nothing.
    I tried by trashing my prefs, but the same missing files are still in the list.

    ok, worked on it a little bit more... the only thing left was an entry in the library file, when you opened the xml file in safari you could find the entry. I didn't dare playing around with the file itself, but found a script called: "super remove dead tracks" on this website, which does the trick: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts01.php?page=1#removedeadsuper
    it worked great, nothing is showing up in front row any.

    Are you using the same apple ID and password?
    it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
    if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
    have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want?   You will still be asked for your password.

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • Where does iphoto trash go?

    is it possible to retrieve a photo out of iphoto trash after you delete it. if so where does the file go and where can you retrieve it from.....thanks
    is it securely deleted?

    Trashed photos go into iPhoto's trash can. There's a trash can icon in the photo albums list. Just scroll down to the bottom of the list to find the trash can. You can open the trash can and retrieve photos from there, assuming you have not yet emptied the trash from within iPhoto.

  • Where does the installer extract its files to

    When you run the installer for thunderbird it extracts a number of files and puts them somewhere, where does it put them?
    The machines I want to install thunderbird to can only run things from certain directories (which excludes the users home directory), as a sys admin I want to be able to install thunderbird, but I cant as it appears to extract files to some directory where we cant run applications from.
    Ideally I would like to be able to move the files to somewhere where they can be run (as changing the security policy will take weeks if I am lucky).

    I have no idea, but on the start menu type %tmp% in the search or run box and press enter. Windows explorer will open in that folder.

  • Where does Camera Raw find custom WB info in a RAW file?

    I'm using a custom WB preset on a Nikon D610.  When I open the RAW file in Lightroom or Camera Raw, I see WB = "As Shot" and I see Temp and Tint values that are CLEARLY custom values.  I am curious to know (a) where Nikon stores the WB information in a .NEF file, and how Adobe is able to find it.  Does anyone know which metadata tags hold the custom WB?  Thanks!

    On my Nikon D610 I can be very specific about  WB by setting an X,Y coordinate pair in the "Choose color temp." screen:
    This is the (x,y) coordinate pair that I mentioned in an earlier post. When I open the NEF file in Camera Raw, the temp and tint scales will show these values.  So the question remains: where does Adobe find this information in the NEF?
    I understand that, except for "As Shot" all of the other choices Adobe gives you for White Balance will not correspond to any camera settings.  They will be Adobe's interpretation of what those values mean.  For example, "Auto" will mean what Adobe considers the best WB for your image, and it will be based on its analysis of the color data

  • Where does Word pick up colour preferences from when printing to a pdf?

    Hi there, I work in a studio with a dozen Macs. We do a lot of bid and tender work creating high volumes of pdf documents from Word.
    The issue is that even when using the same process to create a pdf from different machines (Command-P, then the pdf drop-down to 'save as pdf') the colours print differently depending on which machine the pdf was created on.
    Can you tell me where the machine picks up its preferences to create a pdf from Word so we can ensure each machine is the same?

    Print > Adobe PDF Printer would invoke the Preferences for the Adobe PDF printer
    From the Control Panel and/or Printers and Faxes, select the Properties for the Adobe PDF printer
    I surprised myself by selecting (right click) Printing Preferences first and then (right click) selecting Properties > Advanced > Preferences; I have different options enabled in the screen shot below.

  • Where does the router fallback to load IOS when the IOS in flash memory is corrupted?

    If the ios image stored in flash is corrupted from where does the IOS is picked up?

    Hi,
    The following details the router boot process:
    1. The router is powered on.
    2. The bootstrap program (ROMmon) in ROM runs Power-On Self Test (POST)
    3. The bootstrap checks the Configuration Register value to specify where to load the IOS. By default (the default value of Configuration Register is 2102, in hexadecimal), the router first looks for “boot system” commands in startup-config file. If it finds these commands, it will run boot system commands in order they appear in startup-config to locate the IOS. If not, the IOS image is loaded from Flash . If the IOS is not found in Flash, the bootstrap can try to load the IOS from TFTP server or from ROM (mini-IOS).
    Last if it doesnt find the software anywere it would end up in rommon mode.

  • Where does Acrobat Reader store its print preferences?

    I'm trying to print a file directly with no human interaction using Acrobat Reader. To do such, I'm using the command line arguments "acrord32.exe /t filename \\printerlocation\printer".
    Printing works just fine except for one detail: some of my pdf files need printing with "Auto Rotate and Center" checked and "Page Scaling" to "None", while others need "Auto Rotate and Center" unchecked and "Page Scaling" to "Fit to Printable Area"...
    I've realised that Acrobat Reader stores its last selected preferences (if you close Acrobat and re-open it, these two settings are still set as they were the last time you closed Acrobat) but the question is... where?!
    I've noticed the bprintAutoRotate and the bprintExpandToFit keys in the registry under (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral) and they even change their values whenever I change the options in Reader and close the application, but changing them through my application seems to have no effect - I see the values changing in the registry but Acrobat still prints (and displays if I open the print preferences dialog) the last settings it had memorized before I changed them in my application...
    Is there any other location where Acrobat stores these printing preferences? Is there a way to change these settings through the windows registry or any other configuration file(s)?!
    By the way, I'm using Acrobat Reader 8.1.3.
    Thanks in advance

  • Where does Elements 10 store its catelog file

    I had 32gb on my mac hard disk. I asked elements 10 organiser to catelog my 10,000 photos. It ran through the process then aborted at the end. I have uninstalled Elements but I still have "lost" a load of disk space. I am thinking my organiser photo file is somewhere on my disk still ? Does anyone know where it is stored ? Thanks.

    The catalog shouldn't take up that much space unless you imported from iphoto, in which case your photos were all copied and in that case it's the copies, not catalog itself, that are taking up space. The actual catalog file location can be found by going to Help>System info in the organizer.
