Would like to be able to select and move multiple folders in one operation.

Unless I'm missing something really simple here, there doesn't seem to be any easy way of selecting and moving multiple folders at once.
Here's a little example of a simple task I want to do. I presently have a multitude of folders each seperated by the day the photo was taken on. So in my case for a given year I might have maybe 50 folders or so. It's getting a little cluttered, so all I want to be able to do is to take all the folders for one given year and place them in a folder with that year's date. This should be a simple 30 second task, simply select the folders I want moved by either <CTRL> or <SHIFT> clicking them, and then dragging and dropping them into the new folder.
Right now, the only way I've figured how to do this this is to drag and drop each folder one by one, never mind that this is a slow process in itself, but to add to the slowness, whenever I try to drag and drop more than one folder consecutively, I get a message saying ... "Can not move a folder while another move operation is in progress...blah blah". Not that I want this to be the fix, but haven't they heard of queuing?
I've seen people on the net suggest that for this type of task, you should simply move the folders in Windows first and then locate them in Lightroom. Again, unless I'm missing something very simple here, there doesn't seem to be a way to locate multiple missing folders at once. If I have to manually locate each missing folder one by one, then I'd rather just do the drag and drop thing as this would actually be faster.
I've also tried moving the folders from within Windows first and then using the "Synchronize folder" option, yeah sure this works, but I lose any changes that I've done in Develop module. Not what I'm looking for.

Daniel is right. It´s really strange that I can´t move several folders in one move! When I need more space on my laptop I move a group of folders (one folder for every photosession) to an archive. Therefore I really would like to move them in one click, not "baby-sitting" the move of each folder.

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).
HTH.

1. I could not modify the path so I could save into BB MemoPad.
2. Is there a utility s/w so I could save/download the big file(20K to 200K) directly into BB MemoPad. It will take long time to download from email.
Thanks

1. Can't do that.
2. Get memory card and save the document to it from your PC. When the memory card is in the BlackBerry you can access it just like a USB thumb drive via Windows.

Connect your iPhone to your computer. Tp your pc should recognize your iPhone as a camera. Use what ever application you have on the pc to transfer files from a camera to your computer.

Select and move multiple events at once

I´m trying to find a command who let me select and move/drag several events for example 15 min down/later in the day. Maybe I have dreamt it but I think I have used ealier a command where I could use this forgotten command and by pressing down the left mouse click over the events I could select the events at once. I think this is much easier than command + click all the individual events. Next question is, how can I move several event at once. I have tried control + arrow down but that only lets me move one individual event. Not multiple, even if I have marked several. I don´t won´t to copy paste. Since I think this is a slower procedure. I´m pretty sure I have done this the "right" way before but could someone remind me of how it should be done I would be very thankful!

Hi everybody - thanks for using my tip BUT BE AWARE!!!!
The move function in the current iMovie 09 version STILL has a very serious bug.
Whenever you move an event to a different disc, iMovie loses the Favourite/Reject and Keyword information. This can be a real drama when you rely on this information and find out that all this info has gone on the new disc.
There is ANOTHER workaround though (sigh). You Select multiple events (like described in my tip before) and then you do COPY (and not move).
Then you have duplicate events and you can delete the original. But the metadata will be present in the copy. I just found this solution in this thread

Inside the browser, right click on the mouse seems to be disabled. How can I enable the right click button? It works fine on toolbars and tab bar but not inside tabs or windows. I would like to be able to copy and paste and such. Thank you

Right mouse button does not open any menu when clicked inside of tabs or windows. Works properly on the toolbars, in the address line, search bar...etc. but has no action on the page I'm browsing. I purchased a mouse recently and like the old one, the right button works in all other areas of my operating system. I would like to know if there is a setting in firefox that I can change to correct this.

There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
See Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
[ ] "Disable or replace context menus"
There are other things that need attention:

I would like to be able to cut and paste text whilst using Firefox

I am taking an online course and would like to do my work in Microsoft Office word documents and then copy and paste text ....how can I do this?

Do you mean that you cannot copy text from MS Word and paste it into a text box in Firefox? Does the clipboard work in Firefox safe mode? Maybe an extension is interfering with it.

In Acrobat XI, how can I select and move multiple text/image blocks simultaneously on the same page?

I work with student-generated PDFs that require all content to be within a specific margin range. Occasionally tables and figures are indented or otherwise spaced incorrectly so that the content violates the margin requirements. In Acrobat X, I could use the select tool to draw a select box around all of the text and lines within a table, for example, and just slide the entire table over a bit to meet the requirements without sending the PDF back to the author for a correction. This didn't always work, but often enough that I was able to use it on a daily basis.
Is there a way to select multiple (but not ALL) text blocks and image pieces on a page, so they may be moved simultaneously? If I have to select every text block and line (or every point and line within a graph) and move them each individually, this is going to be a nightmare.
I have Acrobat XI for both Mac and Windows, but tend to use the Windows version more often.

Hey, I'm using Acrobat XI and I can't multi select like I use too do with shift as always. Now I get a green note every time I want to multi select with shift + click as always. I also use Pitstop and I get the same green notes.
Can someone help me ?

Select and move multiple keyframs

I just switched from Adobe Premier Elements on a PC to FCE 4. In PrEl, you can select multiple keyframes in their equivalent of the Viewer, you can them move them as a group. (Select them shift click or drag a square around them.)
This is really useful for changing the timing of motion, i.e., if you decide that you'd like the motion to take a little longer etc.
it also lets you move them to a different time w/out rick of changing the values in the overlay.
I can't figure out a way to do this in FCE, is there a hidden way or something I'm missing?
thanks

I'd like to be able to stretch out a motion. For example, I scale in a photo. But I later decide the scaling should take 8 seconds rather than 5. I'd like to grab the 2nd keyframe for scale and rotation and move them both equally 3 seconds later.
I believe moving a motion path just changes its position, but doesn't affect it's duration.

Drag select and move multiple items

Hi there,
I'm currently creating a word game where I would like to place tiles, but if possible I need it to be possible to drag select groups of tiles (preferably with a visible selection box as you drag) and move them around all together.. is there a simple way to implement this and still have the tiles snap to a grid ?
Many Thanks in advance
Martin

you can reparent your selected group to a new parent and drag the parent.

I have an email attachment that I would like to be able to access when NOTconnected. I found one suggestion that I should open the attachemtn iniBooks and save it there. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that.

I am trying to store an email attachment (an Excel spreadsheet) somewhere on my iPhone 5 to be able to access it easily in the future. I do not need the ability to work on it, just to access it, although it would be convenient if i could load updated versions over it on a regular basis. The spreadsheet was created in Excel on a laptop with Win 7. I read one posting that said I should save the document to iBooks and then could open it whenever I wanted. The same posting refered to something in the upper right corner of the attachment that enabled me to save it to iBooks. Unfortunately, there is no such option showing when I looked at the file, which I did email to myself. I was able to open the attachment, but can't get beyond this point. My tech ability doesn't go much beyond being able to power up my phone, so I need a really simple solution, if one exists.

First of all, Excel file can't save to iBook. (iBook only can view PDF files). That's why you don't see it in "open in" options. In order for you to save excel, you will need a third party app like Numbers, Office2. There are a few free apps that can use to view. I used Office2 from Byte2, because I can not only store and view later, I can do some edit too. Especially when you want to edit a few numbers and re send them to my office or clients will be very useful for me.

I have QuickTime Pro 7 on a PC (win xp). I have several QT movies saved on my PC that I can play using QT. I would like to be able to play these movies on my iPad2. I've tried to convert them to iPad format using iTunes but that option doesn't

I'm trying to figure out how to get QuickTime movies (taken with a video camera) off my pc and onto my iPad2. I can watch the movies on my pc using QT. I bought QT Pro and installed on my PC to convert the files to a format that iPad supports (like mpeg4). I converting the files to mpeg4 but they didnt play on iPad. Do I need a different video player on iPad than the default video player? Do I need to do something else on the iTunes side?
Thanks for any help...

I would like to be able to download updates for my Iphone and Ipad on my work computer but my home computer has all of my music on Itunes. How do i downlaod updates at work without deleting all of the music which is stored on my home computer/Itunes?

I would like to be able to download software updates on my Iphone and Ipad at work without erasing my music. My home computer/Itunes has all of my music saved. is there a way to use two computers w/o erasing information? Or can i transfer the music from my Iphone to my work computer?

- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

Would like to be able to select and move multiple folders in one operation.
