[QUOTE="6string, post: 1152159, member: 120039"] Restart the computer Sometimes a system restart is all that's needed for the login process to access information from your account. If there's a problem with access to the directory information when you initially logged in, this could pass to other processes that access this information, and a restart can sometimes clear this. If that didn't work, Remove the Terminal's preferences Deleting the file "com.apple.Terminal.plist" from /username/Library/Preferences/ folder and relaunch Terminal. Quit terminal, log out and log back in. Now, once you are up and running again, Copy and paste this: sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash It will look like this (minus the red that I used to cover my surname) [URL=http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot20101211at238.png][IMG]http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/9374/screenshot20101211at238.png[/IMG][/URL] click enter Type in your password and click enter (even if you don't see your password while you are typing it) Now it will look like this: [URL=http://img706.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot20101211at243.png][IMG]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1471/screenshot20101211at243.png[/IMG][/URL] *reboot once you are finished before you test the trash again.
