Since i installed 10.6.4 i have lost the ability to move items from Finder (Local) to the Trash, however, my iPod Classic (160GB - External Disc Use) and various Memory Sticks (USB - Various Sizes) use the Trash perfectly, i have tried several restarts, any suggestions? Thanks
A bit more info could narrow the possibilities somewhat. E.g., what *does* happen when you try to trash an item? Considering that you have restarted a few times, odds favor the "you are not the owner of your ~/.Trash directory" scenario. Could you list the folder with Terminal.app for us? ls -alOe ~/.Trash If the second line has "root" (or any name other than yours): drwx------ 2 root staff - 68 Jun 23 18:46 . ...then the cure is usually something like: sudo chown $USER ~/.Trash ...followed by a Finder relaunch. But you should probably show us the listing anyway, to be sure nothing else is causing the access problem.
