ah, that might explain it. Thanks for shedding some light!

I found that I have to be either on the desktop or have a finder

shortcut not to work.

I tried it, but it didn't work for me. I have just been emptying
trash using the finder menu. Perhaps I don't have a backspace key
on the macbook?

Hello Marty,
The easiest way to empty the trash is to press Command-Option-
Shift-Backspace. You'll hear an emptying trash noise.
Cheers,

Hi all, I'm posting to both lists, so I hope filters don't
break, but
here's something I received last night called apple soundtrack
from a
friend who helped me set up skype on the mac, and the youtube
channel
this came from is solomania9, and here's the url for the video,
and if
you want to hear the original source as it was uploaded, just
add at
the end of the url

Now, for a question about dealing with the trash, and that is,
that
when I would try and delete the trash, using the following
steps, go to
the dock with vo-d, right arrow to the trash, and once there, down
arrow to empty trash, and press enter, a dialog would come up,
but it,
apparently, would be hidden from me, because immediately, the
computer
would go into this busy mode, and I would lose speech with voice
over,
and I have a mac mini, so how does one empty the trash
successfully
with a mac mini? I couldn't find the okay buttons or any of the
buttons in the dialog, and I don't know if it was because of
that, when
I shut down, my mac mini didn't shut down, or maybe it was
trying to
update, not sure, but I hit the power button, and held it in,
until the
computer shut off, re-started the machine, and shut down, and it
did
the same thing, and this time, I waited, and it shut down after
about a
couple or 3 minutes, but I wonder what I did, or what was going
on to
make it do that? The person who helped me with skype helped me
with
the trash, but I wonder if the mac mini's have a problem with
the trash
folder, or is this a weakness in the mac operating system?
Thanks in
advance, a loaded question, but hope somebody can help me out.
Marty
