• No room left even if I delete songs - using Mac, empty the trash

  I use my Sansa Clip to listen to audio books only. Lately even if I delete the books there is a msg saying no left when I try to add more space.  I'm emptying the trash on my Mac that I use to manage files Sansa.  Memory says 3750 used, 22Mo left, no matter how I delete! Help?

  Is that what you're emptying the trash of Mac with the connected Sansa?

  Have you always used a Mac? If you also use the Sansa with a Windows computer, then it may have been connected in MTP, which is invisible to the Mac mode. You must connect to a Windows computer and delete the files from there.

  Then go to settings system/settings/USB Mode and make MSC.

  If you just want to start over, you can go to Settings/System Settings/Format and use it. It will remove everything you put on the Sansa.

• I have a Version of OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 aged 5 years, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5computer processor.  It is slow and jerky.  Any suggestions?  I empty the trash. I have an external backup.

  I have a Version of El Capitan OSX 5 years 10.11.3, processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5computer.  It is slow and jerky.  Any suggestions?  I empty the trash. I have an external backup.

  Update your software OS X v10.11.4.

  Instructions here > How to upgrade OS X

  If after the update is installed, you see always the same slow and jerky behavior, a Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help.

  Upper left corner of your screen, click on the Apple  > Shut Down.

  After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

  As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key. You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

  Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

  Once you are in Mode without failure, return to the menu Apple . In the drop-down list, click: reboot

• Failure to empty the trash...!

  I trashed my disk backup files hard Time Machine backup.

  I tried all the steps suggested here on this forum (Terminal, Trash, etc.), does not.

  I'm desperate!

  Someone from Apple can tell me what is the ULTIMATE solution to empty my trash...?

  Will be well appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

  My ultimate solution:

  -Bought the app "Carbon Copy clone". ;

  -Copied my entire "boot disk (Macintosh HD 1)' on an external HDD (Ext Mac);

  -Using "Disk utility", cleared and mounted my "Startup disk (Macintosh HD 1).

  -Launched "(Mac Ext) as my boot drive: Trash was... EMPTY!"

  -Help "Carbon Copy Cloner", copied "Ext Mac" on "Macintosh HD 1";

  -Launch 'Macintosh HD 1' as my 'startup disk': Trash was... EMPTY!

  Useful tips:

  1 / never, never trash the files/folders from your backup of "Time Machine" in the trash...

  2 / download the app "Carbon Copy Cloner", it's only $39.99 (€36.00)...

• Suddenly, I have only the possibility of good to empty the trash.

  I went to empty the trash yesterday and the only option was assured. I thought it was weird and clicked. After a few hours, the computer was still churning away. He left overnight and it was still churning away. I need to ensure empty. I would delete it and come back to life as usual. However, I can't find any way to go back to normal from the trash dump.

  Fixed it myself. I forgot to do what I always tell those who ask me for help: use the Mac Help. Answer: in the Finder under Advanced preferences is a check box for safe dumping trash or vice versa. I don't know how this got checked, since I've never used this feature, but there you go.
