[QUOTE="pyote5, post: 1311960, member: 218805"] Im getting pretty fed up with my mac's trash bin> I try and empty it and it tells me the item is in use but for the life of me I cant see how that can be because it clearly is NOT. Following some forumn advice I held down option and clicked secure empty trash....which frooze so I clicked stop emptying trash and it remained frozen and nothing I could do would budge it. Attempt at restarting told me "Applications are in use" :Shouting: So I held down the power button and rebooted and was able to empty the trash. This is my problem I need help. Although actually Im new to macs so theres a bunch of things getting on my nerves like why am I being told that my 230GB hard disk is full when theres 50GB of free space. Im also currently trying to figure out what the heck is taking up the other 170GB. Surely I cant be using all that. I still love my MAC but GOD its a rough transition. And then these dmg files I dont get it. Somtimes a dmg file contains an installer and somtimes it just contains the application. So If I install it can I delete the dmg file. Advice appreciated . Angrily yours Pyote5 [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
