Saving mpgs to a specific folder

Don't know what happened, but when I used to download a video, I would press command S and then select the desired storage folder. Upon the next save, this folder would appear automatically. But, when I do this now, I get an unusable 00'01 duration file. When I option click on the video it will open the save as dialog and save it, but to save the next video I have to navigate again to the desired folder. Very time consuming. Anyway to set the storage folder so it returns every time unless changed? Thanks

Spring loaded folders: Drag a file to a flder, hold it over it and the folder will open. You can use this to drop files into sub folders and so on. The timing on how long you have to hold is controlled in the Finder preferences -> General Pane.
Another possibilty for your original question is to use Default Folder X, a shareware, that makes navigating open and close dialogues very easy.

  • Saving files to a specific folder

    I used to be a PC, now I am a Mac, learning fast, but I have a problem in saving files from the web. I am using OS 10.4.7
    I am using Firefox and Thunderbird.
    When I try to save email or a picture from a web site I am presented with a Menu; Save as, Where and Format. The 'Where' is the problem.
    When I click 'WHERE', I am presented with a list;
    Network
    Mac HD 80
    Mac HD 60
    Desktop
    MCMP (HOME, where all my different folders are)
    Applications
    Movies
    Music
    Picures
    When I click on MCMP, my home with all my sub folders, there is no way to save the file any place but just in MCMP. I have no options which folder in MCMP or sub folder of a main topic folder. Saving to MCMP just puts the file in with all my different folders.
    How do I direct exactly which folder the item is to be saved into.
    Thank You

  • When saving files, Illustrator defaults back to desktop instead of specific folder.

    Whenever I've worked on a file and want to save it to a specific folder (most of the files I work on are saved in folders within folders), Illy keeps defaulting back to the desktop instead of the specific folder. There must be a setting I accidentally activated/deactivated to cause this, but I'm not sure how to change it...!

    I'm having the same problem with Illustrator. However, how is it that InDesign seems to have no problem defaulting back to the same folder that Illustrator does not. Also, I can't seem to find any setting to specifically change the default save folder in Illustrator. I don't remember this ever being an issue before today. What's up with that?
    OSX 10.9.4
    Illustrator 18.0.0
    InDesign 10.0.0.70

  • Sent messages aren't saved in the Sent Items folder in Outlook 2013

    When we send a message in Outlook 2013, a copy of the message should be saved in the Sent Items folder by default. If Outlook doesn’t save a copy of the sent message, it may be caused by any one of the following
    reasons:
    The “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”
    option in Outlook is disabled.
    The save location for sent messages was changed to another folder.
    There is a custom view set on Sent Items folder, or the view on
    Sent Items is corrupt.
    Outlook Data File may be damaged.
    To resolve the issue, use the appropriate method for your situation.
    Enable the Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
    option
    To configure Outlook 2013 to save copies of your sent messages in the Sent Items folder, please follow these steps:
    1. Click File tab > Options.
    2. Click Mail on the left pane.  
    3. Scroll to the Save Messages section, select the check box before “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”.
    4. Click OK.
    If it is the replying message that is not saving to the Sent Items folder, we need to disable the “When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder” option in the location mentioned above.
    If you’re using an IMAP account, please also make sure you didn’t select the “Do not save copies of sent items” in Account Settings. To check this, Please refer to the following steps:
    1. In Outlook, click File tab > Info.
    2. Click Account Settings > Account Settings, and then double-click your IMAP account to open the
    Change Account wizard.
    3. Click More Settings button.
    4. Under Sent Items heading, clear the check box before “Do not save copies of sent items”.
    5. Click OK and click Next to complete the configuration.
    Make sure there is no rule or anything else to redirect sent messages to other folders
    To check if it is caused by Outlook rules, please follow these steps:
    1. In Outlook 2013, click Home tab.
    2. Click Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts.
    3. In the rules list, check if there is any rule that applied to the sent messages may cause this issue.
    In addition, some rules may be corrupt or hidden and we cannot see them from the rules list. We need to use the MFCMAPI tool to find and delete the corrupt/hidden rules. To do this, we can use the following steps:
    1. Download MFCMAPI tool from: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/
    2. Start MFCMAPI tool.
    3. Click Session menu >
    Logon, select the Outlook profile you are using and click OK.
    4. Double-click the mailbox that contains the inbox rules that you want to delete.
    5. A new window will open. In the new window, expand
    Root Container or Root – Mailbox, and then expand
    Top of Information Store or IPM_SUBTREE.
    6. Right click on Inbox and select
    Open associated contents table.
    7. In the Inbox window, locate and then right-click the items that have the
    IPM.Rule.Message message class, and then click Delete Message.
    To identify a specific rule, you’ll have to select the rule in the top pane in MFCMAPI and then scroll down in the lower pane and look at the
    Property name(s) column. Find the ptagRuleMsgName property name and check the value against the rule name you were trying to delete in Outlook.
    8. In the Delete Item dialog, select
    DELETE_HARD_DELETE from the Deletion Style drop-down menu.
    9. Click OK.
    Reset the view settings on Sent Items folder
    If you accidently changed the view settings on Sent Items folder, this may cause some sent messages not visible in the folder. To check if you’ve set any view settings on Sent Items folder, please follow:
    1. In Outlook, select Sent Items folder.
    2. Click View tab from the Ribbon.
    3. Click View Settings button. If you notice the
    Reset Current View button is clickable, it means the view settings for Sent Items have been changed before.
    4. Click the Reset Current View button and then check the Sent Items folder again.
    Scan and repair the Outlook Data File
    To repair the .pst file, please follow:
    1. Find and start the Inbox Repair Tool in the following path:
    For Outlook 2013 on a 32-bit version of Windows:
    <disk drive>\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
    For Outlook 2013 on a 64-bit version of Windows:
    <disk drive>\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
    2. In the Inbox Repair tool, click Browse to locate the PST file by using the Windows file system.
    3. Click Start.
    4. After the analysis scan has completed, it will present you with a scanning report and options for the next step. Click Repair button.
    To repair the .ost file, since this type of data file is a copy of information saved on your mail server, we can just delete the OST file and restart Outlook to re-create a new one.

    Same problem here, connecting to a Groupwise (not latest) server. Whenever Mail.app 3 tries to upload/save a new messsage to the server, it would not save and completely lose the message!
    I found slightly more information by turning off the "Save to server" option for Sent and Drafts, created a new message that I saved as draft, and then tried to manually move items to the Drafts or Sent folder on the IMAP server.
    The error I received was: The message <message> could not be moved to the mailbox <mailbox>-<account>. The IMAP command "APPEND" (to <mailbox>) failed with server error: APPEND NotJunk.
    To my inexperienced eyes, it looks like the latest version of Mail changed it's default IMAP handling commands that may be incompatible with older IMAP servers. Anyone else have more insight or know how I can get back Mail.app 2.x from Tiger?

  • Why can't I save for web in a specific folder using actions?

    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to save in a specific folder desitnations when using Actions and Saving For Web with CS6 PS for Windows. It ALWAYS defaults to last folder used. I am not Batch Processing, just using Actions on one image at a time. I have 3 of these actions. Action one is for "Thumbnail" folder, Action two is for "Full" folder, and Action three is for "Large" folder. All these actions are doing is saving for web into these folders (path displays correctly in Action script). HOWEVER after I successfully  use Action one and save into the Thumbnail folder and move on to Action 2, it wants to save back into Thumbnail AND NOT into Full folder. In short I now have 3 actions saving to the same folder even though my recording designated 3 different locations. HELP!

    Ok...I switched to my home Mac and was having similar issues with the toggle Save for Web window on. Saving to same folder even in Mac OS. Tried your way by keeping toggle off and it worked, saving diff images to different folders. I guess I have to figure a work around for the naming conventions however. My original is a 5 digit number lets say 11111.jpg. When I duplicate / use a sizing action I get two additional photos named 11111 copy.jpg.  That is why I kept toggle window on in CS3 so I could simply paste the 11111 name back in the dialogue window so I'd have three diff size photos in three diff folders named 11111.jpg.
    These steps might seem super basic but I do these steps for a website all day everyday three months straight without issue and I guess I have to adjust. I usually use orignal photos and have to rename.  Is there a way to Duplicate images as the same 11111.jpg instead of 11111 copy.jpg? That way I can just rename the photo at the beginning (red_flower_000ddafjdflj to 11111.jpg) and not use toggle (or rename at all).

  • 2 questions: cd's and saving mpg's

    I have many multisession cds burned with Nero on Windows. Nero has no Mac version. Is there a program that will allow my Mini to read them?
    Also, I am having trouble saving mpg's to disc. They will play with Quicktime in my browser, but when I click on them in the movies folder, I get an error saying they couldn't be opened. File size is only 4KB no matter what I try to save.

    It's difficult to see how you could have wisely spent as much as $1200 for a Mac mini based system in the first place - it is an entry level system after all, and the fact it is possible to max out RAM and add expensive extras and peripherals doesn't mean that it's necessarily wise to do so... particularly if not certain that it will perform the tasks you have in mind for it.
    As much as the majority of those who use mac systems are entirely happy that they do, it has to be said that Mac systems and MacOS is not perfect, and in a world where the majority of users are PC/Windows based, it's not surprising that many providers of services, software and content are focused primarily on supporting that majority. Sometimes that means things don't work well, or at all, on a Mac. That's one reason it's important to ensure that a Mac will work at the tasks needed for it, because where those needs relate to certain things, it may well not.
    In your case, it is still far from clear from your posts here, exactly what it is that you are trying to do and why you are not able to do it. Aside from complaints that something doesn't work that you want to work, you haven't given an example, or detail, sufficient that we can see what the problem is, let alone the solution. If it comes to the point that the expenditure you genuinely need to lay out for a Mac system that does what a Windows PC at less cost could have done, and that is your only real need, then I suspect that indeed you're right - a PC might have been a better proposition. There are certainly things a PC can do better than a Mac, just as there are things a Mac can do rather better than a PC.

  • How do I move multiple emails from Inbox to a specific folder?

    I have left a lot of emails in my Inbox that should have been moved to specific folders. How do I move them in bulk to their specific folders other than moving each one individually. I have highlighted the messages concerned by searching and then selecting all. I then click on move to....
    Nothing seems to be happening....I'm sure there's probably a step I'm missing here. What would it be??
    A similar problem occurs when I want to do a mass delete of emails from a specific sender....

    I did all that and nothing happened. As it happens, I did manage to deal with the problem, but in a rather convoluted and tedious manner. I went into Edit, Find, and Search messages, typed in the criteria and the messages I wanted moved came up. However, there was no option to "Select All" so I had to highlight each one and then move the lot to the specific folder....that also worked for the delete problem. That is a workable solution to my problem, but the lack of a "select all" option made it very time consuming. However, I guess it's a notice to me to remember to sort my emails more often.
    Thanks for replying....

  • How to Open a Specific Folder in the Finder via Shortcut Key

    I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, so sorry for not finding it...
    Is it possible to assign a shortcut key to open a specific folder with Automator or AppleScript? There are 4-5 commonly used folders buried 10-11 levels deep on a server and I'd love to have a shortcut key to open those particular folders in the Finder.
    Could you give me some assistance?
    Thanks!

    QuickKeys may work, or you can look on http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com for other alternatives.
    Another option is to create aliases to those folders and store the aliases in a local folder which you can place on your Dock, the Finder window sidebar or toolbar.

  • ITunes won't download to specific folder after iphone name change in iTunes

    I accidently changed the name of my iphone on iTunes. I have changed it back to what it used to be named. But, now when I download a song from iTunes on my phone. It will not download it to the specific folder it used to. Now it downloads it to a specific folder called "Purchased on iPad". Songs will stay there until I sync my phone to iTunes on my computer and I click "Transfer purchases". Then it takes them and places them on "Purchansed" tab. After I finish transfering perchases I disconnect my phone and I have to go back into itunes and go to purchased tab and have to redownload them again which go again into "purchased on iPad" folder on my phone and stay there until I sync my phone again to iTunes... its a vicious cycle and driving me nuts. Is there any way to have it downlaod again to my specific folder "purchased on iphone" and keep them there? Hope someone can help.

    I actually tried with two other iPod software cds, uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing is working.
    When I go into the library and look for an import button none is to be found!!!

  • Delete emails from a specific folder in Exchange 2010 SP1

    Hi all,
     Since Exchange 2010 SP1 does not have “-DeleteContent” parameter in mailboxexportrequest any more, how do we delete emails from a specific folder of a user mailbox? (Personal folder, not default folders).
    Please note that the ASQ for searchquery in Search-Mailbox does not support “folder”.
    If going for retention policy, is there a way to tag a retention policy to a specific folder of a user mailbox without user attention?
    William Yang
    William Yang

    Hi William,
    Yes, you may not run the Search-Mailbox to delete items in specific folder at the moment. Hope it will be back soon.
    You can create a Personal tag, users can apply personal tags to folders they create. But users have to select related Retention Policy using Outlook or OWA manually.
    For more information, please see:

  • Use Time Machine on ONLY one specific folder?

    I wish to use the Time Machine function to backup only one specific folder on my computer, the DROPBOX folder.
    How can I implement this and inform Time Machine of my choice?
    According to my first investigations, I only have the choice to select folders to EXCLUDE. This makes the setup of Time Machine unconfortable.
    Any advice?

    I agree with Jeffrey Jones2 above .
    Makes no sense to backup the dropbox folder alone, Dropbox It is "cloud storage" and has its own backup. Dropbox keeps a snapshot every time you save a file. You can preview and restore.
    If you go to the DROPBOX website you can view deleted file from the trash can icon (see below.)
    From there it is a matter of Restore the file. This would work for accidentally deleted files,  there maybe a 30day archive limit so read the small print for details.
    If it is imperative to your backup plan,  just drag and drop  your folder to any external storage device, just not the Time Machine HD/partition.
