No idea what this folder is. Sounds like it is something you created & named.

This is the default folder iTunes uses for music.

Sharing two folders with the same name

Hi all.
I have two folders with the same name and I would like to be able to share these under different share names. Problem is, this doesn't seem to be possible.
For instance, try doing this in File Sharing under Server Preferences:
* Click +, add /Data/Media
* Edit permissions on "Media" to permit guest access
* Click +, add /Volumes/Drobo/Media
* Edit permissions on "Media" (make sure you click the right one!) to permit guess access.
This appears on the surface to work, but what it has actually done is to delete the share for /Data/Media. If you exit the File Sharing pane and go back into it again, it will be gone.
Server Admin has the ability to rename a share's name from AFP,SMB,FTP,etc. but this doesn't appear to help either -- I tried adding the second media first, renaming its shared name to Media2 over in Server Admin, and then adding the first. Server Preferences just deletes the second one.
Such a basic thing as being able to rename the share from Server Preferences would appear to be enough to get around this, but since Apple didn't make it possible, I have no idea how to proceed.
Does anyone else have this working, and how did you do it?

The best way to solve this, would be make sure you use database paraneter GLOBAL_NAME, to change your database from lets say orcl1 to orcl1.mycorpdomain.com, by this you can make sure each database actualy has a different name. Your other database then could be named orcl1.example.com.
When chaning the display name in EM you might face other issues later on when for instance trying to run a restore using EM for one of these databases.

There are two folders in the My Music folder dedicated to iTunes music:
•My Music > AppleReceive
and
•My Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music
They share many of the same titles, although some duplicates may be mp3 and m4a. Confusingly, neither format seems to be exclusive to the AppleReceive or iTunes Media folder.
I'm reluctant to playing the "delete one and see what happens" game.
Any theories/suggestions?

Iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

Hi Cyclosaurus,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
In relation to your points:
1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
Thank you again for your help

Why are there 2 folders created - the photo library and the synced folder

Why are there 2 folders created on the iPhone during a sync? The photo library and the synced folder both show up.

Thanks for your help mate
This is what I've got, should I modify it?
Thanks again BDAqua,
Have a G'day

Iphoto imported photos from my ipad but not from the "photo stream"- why?

I'm trying to get all files off my brother's old ipad before restoring it. I imported photos onto my computer using iphoto, but it didn't import the photos in the "photostream" on the ipad- why not? I saw that iphoto will only import photos that were taken on the ipad but I'm pretty certain these were. Thank you.

Let me try and explain it this way.
Say I have taken ten pictures, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
These were imported to iPhoto and went into an event it created called June 2013 Photostream. They were all imported and showed up in order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Some of them I have now tagged faces in etc.
When I go back now and look in the June 2013 Photostream I only see 1,3,4,5,6,9,10
But if I look in the last 12 months album I still see 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 in the right place and the right order
Pictures 5,6,7,8 all had my face tagged and when I look in my face album 5,6,7,8 all show in the right place in the right order.
I have got iPhoto to rebuild the library etc and they do not go back to showing in the Photostream import folder.

One account with two folders on the hard drive

Sorry but i think this is a very basic question.
I have one user (the administrator), but on the hard drive there are two folders. One named Peter and the other named Dad. I have all of my files in the folder named Peter. I seem to be logged in to the Dad folder. The desktop has nothing on it but in the Peter folder there are many items. Same with the music folder, and there is nothing in iTunes.
Thanks

Check to see whether your account is listed as the owner of both folders in the Ownership & Permissions section of the Get Info window, which is available by control-clicking the folder; if so, open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, click the padlock, and type in your password. Next, locate the home property for your user account and change the instance of Dad to Peter in it without changing or deleting any other accounts, groups, or properties. Log out and log back in.
The contents of the Users folder do not indicate which accounts are present on the machine; this folder is the default location for the home folders associated with accounts you've created. It is possible to have a folder inside Users without a corresponding account, and you can have an account on the machine without its home folder being in Users; this applies to system-level accounts by default, but you can set it up for your account or other accounts you've created in the NetInfo Manager.

I've downloaded a language course on to my iMac. It is in two folders on the desktop. There is no corresponding app, so how can I transfer it to the iPad ?

I've downloaded a language course on to my iMac - where it sits on the desktop in two folders. I want to transfer it to the iPad, but syncing doesn't work when I click the folder and then the sync button. There is no app for this particular course. The audio consists of a number of MP3 files. How can I make it useable on the iPad ??

Launch iTunes on your computer and from the menu at the top go to File>Add to Library and then navigate to wherever the files are located on your desktop. Create a playlist in iTunes if you want to and then sync the playlist to the iPad. Play the files in the Music App on the iPad.

Dealbreaker: I need to save my pictures in my own folders, not the photo library. Impossible?

I have 18 years of pictures saved into folders organized by year/month/date. This is vital for my work. But Photos seems to only allow saving pictures into the photo library. This is unacceptable. Aperture allowed me to select where to import.
Time to go to Adobe Lightroom?

Moments in Photo are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

How do i make new folders in the photo files

how do i make new folders in the camera on the i phone

If you are syncing from a folder on your PC, drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
If you are syncing from a photo application on your PC, use it to create albums and then select those albums to sync.

Wanting additional folders within the photo album folder

Hi, i want to create several folders within Photo Albums, ie holiday pics, movies etc etc.
Currently in itunes, i have 'sync photos from' and i have selected iphone (a folder on my desktop on my pc) and have selected all folders and videos. Within this folder, ther are several folders.
When i sync, under photo albums i get 'Photo Library' and this contains 3 photos from my iphone folder on my PC. There are no folders appearing that i have created etc.
If i choose 'slected folders' instead and then select all the folders it displays on itunes, then sync, under photo albums, the photo library vanishes!
Any ideas of how i put some folders on?
Thanks

Same thing happened to me. The latest update (9.3.1) didn't undo the damage. Not crazy about trying to rearrange all the photos back to their original events (if I can find them.....)

Hide some folders from the "Photo" gallery?

I use TrekBuddy, a navigation software. Trekbuddy stores map snippets on the phone, hundreds of little images in graphical format (JPEGs or PNGS).
When I go into "Photos", Under "All"I see thousands of pictures because the phone finds all the map snippets.
How can I hide the map snippets from the "Photo" galery?
many thanks

Hi everyone,
Is there a way we can send a message to Nokia about this situation. It is really frustrating. I am very happy with the N8 in everything else, but have the same problem that the photo gallery gets fill up of the song/album images, I also have images for a lot of my contacts on my phone and it is frustrating to try to look for pictures in only one folder where I wish to have them. The other ones I would like to have a folder for contact images, songs, etc.
A lot of people suggest to use apps like folder hide and similar, but that is not the idea, that you have to mark and move the files and then additionally to input a password. Some people need to hide pictures, I only just don't what them to show on my normal gallery display.
Does Nokia read this posts on their forum ?
Will they ever follow users suggestions ?
This is a problem from long time ago, I had it with the with the Nokia nightmare phone N97 which is their worst phone ever. What a pity because they use to do them so well before. For example the N8 is very good, I would have gone for a 1 Ghz processor and some extra RAM, but who knows who is the crazy guy behind those decisions.
Hope we find a solution some day to this folder problem.

How do you make multiple folders in the photo app-

the question speaks for itself.also, how do you sync multiple albums onto the phone?

The way I sync folders is this (I know it may not be what you are looking for).
But in iTunes you can pick a folder to sync to. For me I made a specific folder just for my iPhone.
Any pictures I want on my iPhone I put in that folder (copies).
And then in that folder you can create subfolders (to organize). Note though you can only go 1 subfolder deep. You cannot put a subfolder in a subfolder.
So for example:
C:\DATA\iPHONE This is the folder for my syncing.
I can create
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FAMILY
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FRIENDS
C:\DATA\iPHONE\ABSTRACT
C:\DATA\iPHONE\NEWYEARSPARTY
But I cannot create
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FAMILY\WIFE
Then you just put pictures you want sycned into them. Sort of better to work with copies and have a folder specific for the iPhone I think. At some point you will want pics removed from your phone and far easier to just delete them from the iPhone specific folder than if you went to route of syncing to the folder you actually store photos you want to keep forever on your computer. Having a specific folder with copies means you can delete and add at will and know your real memories are elsewhere.

Itunes installs with many folders of the same name,why?

I have uninstalled and installed 3 times. Each time it loads with many folders on left column with the same name. What is resolution?

Do you mean playlist folders or playlists? Reinstalling iTunes does not rebuild the library so it won't tidy up the structure of your library. Recent builds of iTunes have imported any m3u playlists found when scanning the media folders which can cause problems if you've previously generated playlists for all your albums with other software, though in this case the playlists would have different names.
Have you subscribed to iTunes Match? There is a bug that can sometimes create hundreds of duplicate empty playlists. I've two scripts which might help you clean up: KillEmptyPlaylists and KillTopLevelPlaylists. This post describes a technique for resetting iTunes Match to stop it happening again.

HT2905 When i use itunes to transfer photos from my pc to my iphone it transfers two duplicate folders onto the phone. One called photo library the other the name of the folder i transfered. I dont want the photos on my phone twice

Hi. I hope someone can help.
I have just downloaded itunes onto my pc.
Firstly when my iphone is plugged in and i open itunes it does not have a picture/photo folder under my phone listing.
Secondly when i go to photos from the top of screen and tick sync. It asks me to select the folder i want to sync with phone which i do. I then press apply and it transfers all the photos from that folder to my phone BUT it does it twice! I end up with two folders with the same photos. One named as per folder on pc and the other named photo library. I am not able to delete either of them. If i go back to itunes and unsync it deletes them both.
I have been trying for hours now.
If i just try to do it from my pc ie right click and send to iphone it wont do it just says phone not responding or disconnected
Any ideas?

You do NOT have duplicates. This is how Apple handles photos.
Just as a song is in your Itunes Library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos can be accessed from the album.
