Add To "Places" in the Finder

How does one add Music and Movies Folders to the Places section on the Finder? I am using a new installation of Leopard which came with my MBAir.

Open a Finder window and the home directory lists the Music and Movies folders.
Simply drag the folder icon to the sidebar and it will create an icon in the sidebar just like dragging icons to the dock adds them to the dock.

Support, please add a place for the Z30 and fix the "The specified template does not exist or is empty" error on this page

Please get the web site designers to fix this forum. There is no Z30 "place" and there is an error message that shows up every time.
The specified template does not exist or is empty

I can't select songs or add to tracklist from the find box

someone knows why is it?

Welcome to discussions! The question on how to buy from another country's store is asked & answered many times a week in the forums.
You have 2 options. You will have to have a French credit card with a French billing address, or a French gift card, but gift cards still carry the billing address requirement. These rules are set by the record companies who don't care for cross-border sales since the rights holders for songs may vary from country to country.

Open finder window on a specified place on the screen

Hello,
In trying to somehow replicate the drop stack in PathFinder (www.cocoatech.com), I use a very simple script that I save as app bundle and place on the finder toolbar. The script is
do shell script "open /Users/myusername/temp"
I know this is not quite Applescript, but it works .
I have two questions to improve my little script
1) Is there a way to force the new finder window to open on a specified place on screen (ideally to the side of and flushed against the window from which it was called)
2) If I close the "temp" window without toolbar and sidebar (click on the oval top-right button), it will come that way when called again. However, I may forget sometimes to close temp that way. Is there a way to force a finder window to be opened without toolbar and sidebar?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
MarceloC

I think I answered my own question, thanks to an older post by Camelot on another topic. I use the following script
tell application "Finder"
set {l, t, r, b} to bounds of (Finder window 1)
do shell script "open /Users/myusername/temp"
set bounds of (Finder window 1) to {l - 305, t, l - 5, t + 300}
set current view of (Finder window 1) to icon view
set toolbar visible of (Finder window 1) to false
set the sidebar width of the (Finder window 1) to 0
set statusbar visible of (Finder window 1) to false
end tell
This works like a charm! Now my appetite is whetted, so I want an even more refined script . I tried to set the path bar to invisible (which I have visible by default), but failed. I tried with "set pathbar visible...", but that did not work. Maybe the Path Bar is a global property for all finder windows and cannot be set individually?
Also, expressions of the form
set the iconsize of (Finder window 1) to X (or with textsize or gridsize)
are accepted and compiled by Script editor. However, all my attempts at puting a value for X led to an error at execution time. Is this the correct way to do this? What is the format to do it?
I guess an even more encompassing question is where does one find this kind of info (as in being able to know everything I can set for a window with applescript...)
Thanks again. This is a great support list!

Set the Finder's Search Box default to current folder? How?

How do I set the the Finder's default Search Box parameters to be the current folder that I'm in, instead of searching the whole flamin' computer? (I have to quickly click on the folder name) And also instead of the default being 'Contents', how can I set it to be 'File Name'? It would speed up so many of my searches. I could still click on 'This Mac' to get that, and 'Contents' likewise.
Tks in advance

I complitely agree and very very frustrated with that problem too just wrote this to feedback system:
The problem that many people find is that when you have a finder windows open and that you browse a file like "Appplication" then due to the large number of application you use the search bar by taping the application name.
That's where the problem come from.
Once you tape the application name it start searching in the all computer ! instated of in the file
The second problem is that he is searching the content and it will be better to have as default by file name.
If i wanted to do that kind of search i will use the spolight button next to the clock and people want that search bar in finder to be searching in the folder you are in not all computer.
Last problem is that we don't have a custom option in spotlight preference or finder preference.
I would recommend to have that default search in finder change to search in file ONLY and to add Spotlight option in the Finder Preference for people to be able of customizing it.
When you use that search bar everyday many times a day it becomes very very frustrating.

Adding multiple songs to iTunes from the Finder

The way I usually add songs to iTunes is to select multiple songs at once from the Finder and then add them all to iTunes. Now in Lion when I have two or more items selected it only adds and opens one of them instead of copying all of them to the iTunes folder. How do I add them all from the Finder into iTunes to save me some time.
Also the default file opener for .m4a, .mp3 etc. was changed to Audacity for no reason when I upgraded to Lion. I had to manually change it back to iTunes.

Can you do it the other way?
Open iTunes and on the File menu is Add to Library where you can choose which ones to import.

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

How to add custom columns to the list view in Finder

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to view additional file details in the list view in Finder, for example audio bit rate, so I don't have to do "Get Info" for each file separately. I couldn't find a way to add columns other than the ones listed on the view options dialog.
Can anyone help me find a way to do it?
Thanks,
Tal

Have you checked the Help menu for what you want to do? I found this in Apple support - List View Options
Check the AppleScript Forums. There is probably a script that you can use.

How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with? I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)". All of the photos I'm using have names.

I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)".
All of the photos I'm using have names.

That same one others seem to have gotten: "Unable to Assemble Book -- There is a problem with the photo with the filename “(null).” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book"
I've tried restarting iPhoto with the option and command keys pressed, and asking it to repair permissions, but still have the same message...

I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
Cheapest and very good image editor?
