I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as the tambourine coming out with a really distorted sound. I've managed to record over the top of a guitar before and add diferent riffs and sounds but I've tried all of the settings but its still not working. Basically I want to record different tracks without it recording my previous guitar riffs as well. Help would really be appreciated.

Ah that was it, thanks a lot common sense really but thanks for the help

I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad. After some days, I had to create a new apple I'd as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple I'd is appearing. Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

I was trying to back up my mac by using my external hard drive. Without realizing it, time machine erased all my backups from my other computers. Is there any way to recover these files? I can't even get the external hard drive to work on my pc.

I was trying to use my external hard drive to back up my mac computer. It had files on it from my pc computer. Time machine erased all my existing files. (I thought it was only going to erase the duplicate files and rewrite them). Is there anyway to recover these files from my external hard drive. My mac has renamed the hard drive time maching and it will no longer show up on my pc. What can I do?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I can't get the new Maverick OS I downloaded to work with iTunes. I am trying to copy some songs onto an SD card and it won't let me create a new folder or click and drag the tunes onto a folder or into the current SD card. What am I doing wrong?

I can't get the files to drag onto a file or onto the SD card. What should I do?

Did you accidentally engage the lock slider on the side of the card? What exact error messages are you seeing?

Backup disk is full ... Time Machine not deleting old backups

In my Time Machine preferences it says "The older backups are deleted when your disk becomes full." Well ... my disk is full but Time Machine is not deleting its old backups to make more room.
So now TM is failing to backup.
Any suggestions for freeing up some disk space and getting back to getting backed up?
Thanks.

What message does it send? See #C2 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it. If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, your setup (especially the destination for the backups), what you've done, and the results.

Do you have other data on the disk, in the same partition? If so, that's not a good idea, and may be the source of the problem. See #3 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

How do I create a new folder in photos and move selected photos to it?, How do I create a new folder in photos and move selected photos to it?

Help!

You can't create new folders directly the Photos app at this time. It is supposed to be a new feature in iOS 5. You either need to create the folders in the main folder from which you sync your photos in iTunes and sync again, or you can download third party apps that allow you to sort photos on the iPad. You can look at Photo Sort for this function in the App Store.

Steam just created a new folder in home and seemed to remove all games

I just logged into Steam, first strange thing, it asked me again for a code verification (like new computer, which this is not)
then, I go in to see the games, and all of them are removed.
The old folder seems to be there ~/.steam I don't know if I can copy in the games
any idea how to fix this that doesn't need to download all my games again??

Same thing happened to me, a few days ago.
I though steam had changed its directory from .local/share/Steam to ~/Steam, so I removed everything from both locations (plus the .steam and two symlink on home dir), ran steam and downloaded all the games, (steam defaulted to .local/share/Steam again...)
And the next day, same thing happened!
Removed every trace of Steam again, reinstalled again, downloaded all the games, closed steam, and this time I made a symlink (ln -s ./local/share/Steam), been working fine since then

HT2488 I imported pictures into iPhoto from my iPhone, when trying to find my pictures by clicking on iPhoto Library it is always empty. I had to create a new folder and copy the same exact pics in the new folder just to be able to access them.. help plea

I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I can't save a file to the desktop nor create a new folder

I extracted 2 pages from a PDF file. They are there according to the "open" dialogue but the second one is not there as an icon. I can attach it to an email but the email won't send - it says the attachments are still downloading. I can't create a new folder on the desktop to save the second PDF into. ***????

You can write a file with the same extension as long as you lock your file while writing it. As long as your file is locked, your BizTalk receive location will not pick it up.
So the question here really is, how is your application generating the CSV file?
Check the FileShare enumeration: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.fileshare.aspx
In your case it will be something like this:
FileStream someFileStream= new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None);

Slow loading when creating a new folder or deleting a folder or file

Hello! Before we begin, a little information. This problem only started occurring AFTER I updated to Mavericks. I have been through every operating system since Snow Leopard and NEVER had this problem until Mavericks. It has been palguing me since I updated in October and I need some answers. Seeing as how I do not feel like paying $59 to ask apple for help in this matter I'm coming to the community. This is an odd problem where finder doesn't seem to want to load certain actions properly. In my case, creating a new folder, deleting a folder or file, and using the "always open with" function.
In terms of creating a new folder, anywhere in finder, the folder will not appear immedlately, insetad it takes a staggering 5-10 seconds to appear where I created it. For deleting a folder or file, the same thing happens. It takes a huge amount of time to move the folder or file to the trash bin, UNLESS I open a different folder or file in the same directory after deleting said folder or file, in which case it moves right away. And the "always open with" checkbox just doesn't work at all.
About my platform: Intel iMac (Late 2009) 3.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 220 out of 499.75gb hard drive space. OS X version 10.9.2
Thanks in advance for any help in these matters.
You guys helped me solve the unchangeable background problem when apple couldn't, so I'm reaching out to you again for that awesome support I know you guys have in you

Adobe contacted me and had me reset my prefereneces for flash using their steps. I have done that and a complete uninstall/re-install and searched for corrupted fonts and still I am having the same issue and adobe support appears to have just left me hanging.
Is there anyone here who has experienced this same issue that can offer any assistance to solve this issue. As it stands right now I have a product I cannot even use and that is troublesome to say the least.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

API for creating a new folder in Shared Queries through C # in TFS 2013

Hi ,
          Is it possible to create a new folder in "Shared Queries" in Team foundation Server 2013 by using C#. I'm able to access the queries and even modify them by using the StoredQuery class and
the QueryText function . We had a case to create a new folder in the Shared Queries part of the project.
          I have been and I am still looking for classes / api's that will enable me to do this .Any pointers to help me would be greatly appreciated.
         Do let me know if I have to provide more information.
Regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
Thanks for your post.
To create new folder under Shared Queries, you can try below code snippet:
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs =
new
TfsTeamProjectCollection(new
Uri("collectionURL"));
tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
var queryHierarchy = workitemstore.Projects["teamprojectname"].QueryHierarchy;
QueryFolder currentLocation = queryHierarchy["Shared
Queries"]
as
QueryFolder;
var folder =
new
QueryFolder("foldername");
currentLocation.Add(folder);
currentLocation = folder;
queryHierarchy.Save();
For more information, please refer to the example in this article:

You don't. If you have an imap email account, you create the folder when you log into your email account on a browser.
Can't do it for a pop account.

Drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?

is it possible to drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes? It is very clunkey to have to click each separate file to instruct it to move to the folder. Better still, can I just sync an existing folder on my hard drive so the pdf's inside always remain up to date on my iPad?

There is no way to drag and drop in Reader on an iPad.
There is no way to sync PDFs in a folder on your hard drive to those inside of Reader.
There are readers (which are NOT free) which let you do some of these things and have more capabilities. You might check out PDF Expert from Readdle which costs $9.99 US.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.
