  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.

  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

• 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.

• Why is automatically emptied the trash on my email account?

  My emails used to be saved in the trash and I kept for future reference. Now, they simply disappear. Is there a setting I can change to change this?

  Re: my e-mails used to be saved in the trash and I kept for future reference.

  "Trash" is for the items you want. "Basket" means "Rubblish' to be scrapped; throw; Remove.

  They are only in the Trash because you selected the 'delete' or you move them manually.
  The reason for having a 'Trash' folder is to act as a stop gap because sometimes you might delete an email by mistake and want to save.

  File basket is not the place to store the items you want to keep.
  Please create new folders to organize your wanted emails.
  Use "Basket" to unwanted emails.

  Trash (also known as "Deleted") can be automatic out empty on if the option is selected.
  Tools > account settings > server for the e-mail account settings
  or
  Menu icon > Options > account settings > server for the e-mail account settings

  Uncheck the box / select as appropriate: "empty the trash when leaving.
  Click OK.

  If you have an Imap email account, there may be a different policy, used by the server. Some auto Recycle Bin empty periodically by default and there is nothing you can do about it. After all, Trash is for unwanted items, then after a time saving an email deleted by mistake, they clear this folder to create more space.

  Background information:
  When you choose to delete an email or put it in the "basket", from your point of view varies for example: Inbox to "trash".
  In reality, it is always in the Inbox as an email "marked as deled" hidden from view. So it is still too much space in the Inbox.
  When you compact your Inbox folder those "marked as deleted" are removed, freeing up a space.

  When you see a folder in the folders pane, it is in fact a mbox file (assuming that you Pop mail account or synchronize subscribed imap folders).

  When e-mail messages are downloaded they are not stored as individual .eml files, they are stored one after the other in the order they have been downloaded in the same "file". If you do not want to put all your e-mails in one or a couple of files.
  Create folders to organize messages into subsets.
  Archives of old messages to free up space in regular used folders.

• 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.

• can't empty the Trash because of locked elements and certain permissions

  I want to well to empty the trash, but am getting blocked by two numbers, starting with:

  (1) ''there are some elements locked in the trash. " Do you want to remove all items, including those locked or just unlocked items? »

  Unlike previous messages or suggestions on the support Forum, this text box does not actually identify the locked objects, not their names, places or anything like that. Similarly, when I press Option with Secure Empty Trash, it scatters only my Finder window such that I can not select anything.

  I have browsed through the trash looking for ASCII files or other weird characters and have removed these (created a new folder on the desktop), but this has not changed anything.  When I try to Secure Empty Trash again, the same note appears.

  I tried the two options offered by this text box ('Remove all items' or 'Remove Unocked items'), but regardless of my choice, the following text is displayed:

  (2) the operation cannot be performed because you have not granted access to some of the elements. »

  I guess that brings me to permissions, but given that the article "troubleshooting permissions in Mac OS X - Apple support issues" has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple (from Jan 2016), I'm hoping to get information updated here.
