Okay. The restart wasn't enough. I repeated the Preferences trick and the ER box was still unchecked. So I selected Quit Error Reporting from the menu drop-down and then a system Shutdown. I counted to ten, started it up again, and found a very clean trash can - the way I like it.

Problem SOLVED (I think). Thanks to DeltaMac for the URL. It led me to a cure that will probably fix this problem for me. (I have to restart to be sure, but I'm confident it will work.) The reference points to a subdirectory but it's a few levels deeper than that. On my new Mac OS X 10.10...

I just upgraded to Yosemite and now every time I start there is an empty "MerpAD Database Daemon" file in a folder named "Recovered files" in my trash can. I empty the trash but next time I start the OS it's there again. (If I don't empty the trash, there are two of them on next boot!) There...

Well, for some unknown reason, that pop-up stopped popping up. So, I guess that solves my problem...

I used the disk utility to repartition my main drive, formatted the new one as NTSF, and used Boot Camp to load Windows 7. I fiddled quite a lot with Win7 and finally got it looking and acting the way I want it to. When I get back to Mac OS X (10.9.3 3.4 GHz Core i7, 12 GB 1333 DDR3, 256G solid...

Thanks Whitehill. If I could have handled it all locally I would have. The Mail app doesn't allow me to create a rule for the BULK folder that is associated with my IMAP email account. (It was a POP account when I was using MS Outlook for Mac, BTW.) I've decided to dump AT&T/Yahoo if I can't...

Sure, but it had nothing to do with Mac OS or its apps. I set up "SpamGuard" on my provider's web site, which was AT&T and is now Yahoo. Anything that looks like spam is kept there and not forwarded when I open Mail.app. I set the auto-delete time period to a week so I can browse the spam...

I got it fixed. BTW, the Harvard deal fell through :) Thanks

I am getting a dozen or so "My Dear Mr." emails a day offering me a million dollars if I'd only agree to blah blah blah. This wasn't a problem when they arrived in my INBOX. (I deleted them all so they are rule-erased when I quit the Mail session.) Now they are going into the BULK mailbox...

My Mail.app seems to be working fine now. I'm not sure what changed things - maybe posting here was an embarrassment of sorts?

I abandoned MS Outlook for Mail.app 6.2 (on my iMac/10.8.2). Under PREFERENCES / ACCOUNTS / MAILBOX_BEHAVIOR the only checkmark is "Move deleted mail to Trash," Delete_Sent is set to NEVER, Delete_JUNK is set to "Quitting Mail," and Permenently_Erase_Deleted_Messages is set to "Quitting Mail."...

No. I'm not familiar with that product but it sounds like an enhancement to the mouse action. I don't have anything like that. Note that the mouse works fine in Apple apps. It only gets flakey in the MS Office products - Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I keep hoping that an Office upgrade will fix...

Thanks, SATCOMER. I'm running Office: Mac 2011, version 14.2.3. I tried Word and Excel but no pop-up. Outlook, however, did raise the rebuild pop-up so I rebuilt it and then restarted (old Win habits die hard). The same jumps occur when I select a group of cells in Excel. I selected a set of...

I have MS Office running on my new (mid-2011) iMac (OS X 10.8) and my wireless mouse seems overly sensitive when I'm inside Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. Click-and-drag, e.g., to select an area in Excel causes the data to jump several columns before I can drag it. Selecting part of a drawing in...
