Accidentally moved a folder-help

I am running Windows XP and use Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 to download & view my pictures from my camera's memory card. I was trying to put some pictures on a cd (using Windows Explorer) and accidentally moved a picture folder (I'll call it Beach) into another picture folder (I'll call it Sports). The "Beach" folder shows up in the "Sports" folder but properties show that the "Beach" folder is empty. When I go to view the photos in Adobe, I see the annoying red reconnect symbol in the "Beach" folder and I cannot view the photos at all. I have read the forums and see that others have had this problem but cannot seem to find a solution. I have tried right clicking a picture in the folder and selecting "reconnect". It then searches forever and comes up with another box that says "The source file(s) you've selected annot be found at the locations stored in the catalog. They may have been moved and/or renamed. Please reconnect these catalog items to their source files." I can't reconnect the files because the "Beach" folder is empty. I didn't delete anything, but the folder is still empty. I know this is lengthy but was hoping if I gave enough info that someone would be able to help... Any suggestions?

Somehow, when you moved the Beach folder into the Sports folder, the images
seem to have been deleted. (I'm assuming here that you've opened up the
Beach folder and it's empty)
I hate to say it, but you may be out of luck. There's nothing Starter
Edition can do to help. It thinks the photos are in Beach, but they are not
there. The image that you are seeing in Starter Edition is just a low
resolution thumbnail copy that SE made when you first imported the photos.
It does not actually manage or keep the real image file. That's Windows job.
About the only thing to do at this point is use Window Search to search you
entire hard drive for the photos. Pick one of them, get the filename, and
search for it. If you find one, chances are the rest of them will be there.
Good luck

Accidentally moved "originals" folder

I recently got Photoshop for my computer...while moving pics around I think I moved my "originals" folder! It is now its own folder (not inside iphoto library).
Does it belong in the iphoto library? If so, how do I get it back in? It wont move in like other files.
While in iphoto, several photos show up as exclamation marks...I assume the moving of the originals has something to do with it?? Please help! I am not computer savvy :frown:.

Yes the Original folder belongs in the iPhoto Library Folder. Can't you just drag it in? If not - or if this does not fix the issue.. then you'll need to start over with a new library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the Originals to the desktop. Trash the iPhoto Library Folder from your Pictures Folder
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database
corruption.
To use photoshop with iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Another Zen V+, accidentally deleted wallpaper folder, help on restoratio

I accidentally deleted the pre-made wall papers folder with all of the samples in it when clearing out all of the sample files. I want to use one of my own pictures for the wall paper, but when I made my own "Wall Papers" folder, and put the picture in, the Zen V+ under Pictures>Wall Paper it says there are no acti've Wall Papers. Is there a way to reformat the firmware completely? I tried updating it and that did nothing at all.
Thanks Alex

No, they haven't. Go to http://www.epizenter.net/e07_plugins...php?47589.post. They're all there, at least when I go there in my browser. EDIT: Ouch I see what you mean. But If you search Preloaded Wallpapers, they do show up. Anyway, I'll put them here. Sorry if I'm doing anything wrong guys, haven't seen many photos in the forums.

Accidentally renamed "Music" folder - help!

I just did something really stupid. I renamed my "Music" folder (in the Finder sidebar... I also have lots of audio recordings, so I renamed it "Music/Recordings"
When I opened iTunes, my entire library had disappeared.. and earlier when I was clicking on the "Music" folder, I got a message saying the volume could not be found.
I tried searching in my home folder from the Finder sidebar, and I see my original "Music" folder with nothing in it... and the one I renamed "Music/Recordings" with my iTunes library and other sound files.
Now, how do I go back to where I was before I renamed everything... and get everything back in my Music folder?
Thanks!!!

The best solution is to put things back as they were by…
1) Restart
2) Delete the "Music" folder, the one with nothing in it
3) Rename the "Music/Recordings" folder back to "Music"
4) Restart
… and everything should now be back to what it was.

Step 1
Remove "MacKeeper" as follows.
"MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
Failure to remove MacKeeper will result from neglecting any one of these points:
Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
Don't empty the Trash after dragging the application to it. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
Don't try to drag the MacKeeper icon in the Dock to the Trash.
Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
Step 2
Restore from the last backup that predates the unwanted changes.

I accidentally moved iPhoto off from my tool bar. Now i get the message that iPhoto can't open because it may be damage or incomplete. Can someone help?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

IPod won't sync anymore after moving itunes folder

I just got a laptop and want to be able to transfer all my music from iTunes and iPod from the desktop to the new computer. I wasn't ready to do it completely but read that I needed to move the iTunes folder to a shared folder so that I could access it with my laptop via my network. I did not realize what the results would be however! When I docked my iPod to the desktop this morning, I noticed that my iPod was empty after it had updated. All 4000+ songs/podcasts gone! Ack! I noticed that iTunes seems to be ok, all the songs are there, except they all have an exclamation point next to them. Re-docking and trying to sync does not work. The music won't transfer. I put the folder back into the my documents folder but nothing changed. Even system restore didn't help. I am desperate. I am even willing to forget the idea of putting everything on the laptop if I can just get things to how they were. When I clicked on the exclamation point in iTunes it said the original file could not be found. I would hate to have to load each cd in again. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

First I'll explain whats happened. when you moved the folder to a shared folder, then tried to update the iPod it wiped it out because iTUnes had no songs in it. All music shared over a network will not update to iPod, the songs have to be on the PCs harddrive.
What you need to do first is place the folder on the "Old" PC back to its default location in the "My MUisc" folder. It gets confusing because theres 2 iTUnes folders, one is named "iTUnes" the other is inside this one named "iTunes Music". So the "iTUnes" folder needs to be in the "My Music FOlder and the "iTUnes Music" one needs to be in the "Itunes" folder.
Once you have placed it back open iTUnes and make sure all the ! marks beside the songs are gone. DON'T UPDATE YOUR IPOD!!!! Since its already blank, you can use the whole iPOd harddrive to transfer the songs over. Hold down the shift and Ctrl keys. While holding them down connect the iPod let iTUnes open, and when it list the ipod, let go of the keys. this will stop an auto update from happening.
Now rightclick ipod in iTUnes, hit options, select "Manual Update". Now your iPod will be set to transfer. go here and follow the directions for moving the whole iTUnes library and songs to your new laptop. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Once everything is transfered over you can rightclick the ipod and set it back to auto update or whatever you had it on and uncheck "Enable Disk Use"
I also see you have a toshiba laptop, iPOd has issues with some toshibas so this artical may also be of help if you have troble getting the laptop to see your iPod http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836

Accidentally moving a directory on directory tree happens on occassion, shall be a question: ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO MOVE DIR1 to DIR2

Hello,
Accidentally moving a directory on directory tree happens on occassion
shall be a question: ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO MOVE DIR1 to DIR2.
I have a TB profile on USB stick and 2 or 3 times happen that I moved
accidentally one diretory onto another and run out of space.
Thunderbird TB crushed and lost lot of emails.
There shall be a popup asking: ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO MOVE DIR1 to DIR2
preventing to do that action automatically as it is unstoppable and unreversable
and in case of low disk space leads to DB corruption.
Best Regards and please continue great job in developing Thunderbird!

And I think it would be a very nice enhancement and shall be added anyway.
(After first popup, there shall be a checkbox - do never ask again)
Once you face the problem (don't now how big your DB is, mine 20GB, 9 years) then maybe you change your mind. How many times a day you reorganize your folders? Have your moved a folder bigger then 2 or 3 GB by click?

Accidentally deleted trash folder

Hello,
I have searched everywhere trying to find a solution. I had one folder on my desktop that had several subfolders inside of it. I was deleting some desktop items and accidentally deleted this folder as well and then I emptied the trash folder. I unfortunately never set time machine up on my iMac. I also purchased a program to try to restore my files with no success.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I thought about trying to restore it to a prior time, but everywhere I am reading says that you need to have backed everything up with Time Machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you deleted it then it's gone. Only thing would be if you had a backup then you could recover

So I made a mistake (moved a folder)

So I made a mistake. I moved a folder from my HD to my Shared folder by drag and drop. But when I looked in the target Shared folder, only the files in the root directory was copied. The subfolders also appeared there, but they were EMTPY! Where are my files? They aren't in the original HD folder (because I moved it). They aren't in the target folder. Getting desperate for help (sorry, I just bought my first Mac and brought up with PC so possibly a simple stupid question)!

Click on the Desktop, CMD+F, enter iTunes Music, click on File name, and see what pops up. If nothing, launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, type in this command, and hit the return key:
*locate "iTunes Music"*
If nothing pops up, rebuild the locate database, using this command:
*sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb*
copy/paste it into the Terminal window, hit the return key, at the Password: prompt, carefully type in your admin password because nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the enter key. This will take 15-30 minutes. After you get the prompt back, run the above locate command again.

I accidentally moved the contents of "Stickies"

I accidentally moved the contents of "Stickies" while cleaning up my MacBook Pro. I have the contents out of the trash bin but how do I restore/link it to the program again. The Icon still shows up in my application. i tried simply dragging and clicking but that didn't work. Also, I have everything backed up via time machine and an external hard drive, if that helps. Thanks

Have you restarted your computer or even repaired permissions?

My message App has vanished - looks like it got accidentally moved

Look like I accidentally moved it when I was organizing my apps. I cannot figue out how to undo this? Any ideas?

Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted. Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
