Archiving photo folders
I have been using a couple of LaCie externals for long time and been archiving photo folders no problem and all of a sudden today I can't do it?? I obviously have it formatted for Mac as been able to use it no problem for a long time...what would suddenly change?? HELP! Thanks!
Photo folders? Folders of files are folders of files, regardless of the content of the files. When you say "photo folders" are these images managed by some app? iPhoto? Aperture? SOmething else?
Also, when you say you can't do it, what happens when you try?

How can I archive photos in iPhoto to a hard drive and retain the Album folders and the Events?
How can I archive photos in iPhoto to a hard drive and retain the Album folders and the Events? I tried to Export the Albums but just transferred the files individually.
If you want to maintain the iPhoto organisation then back up the iPhoto Library.
If you want to export to the Finder, well you need to create a folder for the contents of an Album and expot to that.
If you have an older version of iPhoto: Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events. This feature is built in to iPhoto 11.

has details of the options in the Export dialogue. -
Photo Folders - Cannot Reorder
I used to be able to reorder my photo folders in iTunes. I recently attempted to reorder some folders in iTunes 9 with no luck. Does anyone know if this feature has been removed? Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
That's quite the feature downgrade from previous iTunes editions!
Not everyone uses iPhoto to archive their photo albums,
it was nice and easy to put the albums into an individual order with iTunes in the past ...
Apple, please consider adding this feature back with the next iTunes update ... -

How do I restore my archived mail folders after downloading Yosemite
After downloading Yosemite, all my archived mail folders have disappeared - can someone please help me, I really need to get this information back?
Do you have a backup?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then Mail/V2/Mailboxes -
I have an iPad (2nd gen.) running IOS7.1 (latest update). I want to have separate photo folders in IOS7. I was able to do this on my iPod (3rd gen.) running IOS 5.1. I want to do the same thing on the iPad. I tried to drag and drop the folders onto the iPad but this won't work. I'm using a Win 7 laptop as my computer.
The folders need to be in a single containing folder and sync the container to achieve what yoyu are asking.

What's the best way to move photo folders from internal to external HD using LR to track change?
I am trying to move my photo folders from Pictures on an iMac running Mavericks to an external HD as my main photo storage and to do so with LR 5.6 keeping track of the folders. I have 20K plus photos in the Catalog in the iMac's HD and wouldn't want LR to loose track of the photos. I am not creating duplicates but moving all the files w/original photos and edits.
Is there a good and safe method to use LR to perform this task?In your operating system, move the photos to the external HD, keeping the folder structure unchanged, and then in Lightroom reconnect using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

UnZipping an archive with folders inside
Hello, everyone.
A friend of mine asked me to create him an "auto-downloader" type of program, to download a ZIP archive, then extract the information to the user's computer (no, it is not harmful).
Anyways, I've been trying mutliple ways, and I've come pretty far with the one I'm currently using. The only problem is, I'm using user.home as the file location for the zip, and creating a folder in there seems to just not want to work. This is the only way I could think of doing it, but I'm sure there are easier ways.. here's what I'm using:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

public class Updater extends Thread {
private String name;
public void get(String url, String fileName) {
name = fileName;
JFrame frame = new JFrame(name.replaceAll(".zip", "") + " update");
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 80));
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
Client client = new Client();
ClassLoader cl = getClass().getClassLoader();
try {
URLConnection connection = (new URL(url)).openConnection();
String f[] = url.split("/");
File file = new File(f[f.length - 1]);
int length = connection.getContentLength();
InputStream instream = connection.getInputStream();
try {
new File(updatedDirectory()).mkdir();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
FileOutputStream outstream = new FileOutputStream(updatedDirectory() + file);
int size = 0;
int copy = 0;
JProgressBar bar = new JProgressBar();
bar.setStringPainted(true);
bar.setMaximum(length);
frame.add(bar, "Center");
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
while ((copy = instream.read()) != -1) {
outstream.write(copy);
size++;
int percentage = (int) (((double) size / (double) length) * 100D);
bar.setValue(size);
bar.setString("Updating your " + name.replaceAll(".zip", "") + " - " + percentage + "% complete");
if (length != size) {
instream.close();
outstream.close();
} else {
instream.close();
outstream.close();
unzip();
//System.exit(0);
frame.setVisible(false);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error connecting to update server.");
e.printStackTrace();
private void unzip() {
try {
System.out.println(updatedDirectory() + "animations\\raw");

zin.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private void unzip(ZipInputStream zin, String s) throws IOException {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(s);
byte[] b = new byte[1024];
int len = 0;
while ((len = zin.read(b)) != -1) {
out.write(b, 0, len);
out.close();
public final String updatedDirectory() {
//File file = new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\info\\");

}Here's the ZIP archive I'm trying to download: http://www.2shared.com/file/Qu1cSWcl/cache.html
If what I've said before doesn't make sense (mind you me, it's 4 am and I'm about to crawl into bed), then I'll try to sum it up in a few short words below.
I'm trying to extract a ZIP archive with folders, every time I do, it stops halfway through and throws an error similar to this:
invalid cache index specified
..\animations\raw
java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\animations\raw (The system cannot find the pat
h specified)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:179)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:70)
at Updater.unzip(Updater.java:99)
at Updater.unzip(Updater.java:90)
at Updater.get(Updater.java:64)
at Client.main(Client.java:2548)
Press any key to continue . . .I'm just trying to be able to extract cache (ZIP ARCHIVE) which has folders inside. I've tried creating a directory for the folder, but it seems to not work, hence the "?" in the above error (i printed that if the directory failed to create a new directory, as seen in my above code). Once again, sorry if this isn't as understandable as it should be, I'm not myself without sleep :)
Also, do ignore the first print, 'invalid cache index specified', it's not related to the problem.
Edited by: aeternaly on Jul 2, 2010 4:04 AMSo your question is really about how to make a directory, then. Nothing at all to do with unzipping of archives.
If you can't create a directory, then perhaps there is some permissions problem. You don't have the authority to create directories in some directory. Or perhaps you're trying to use a name which isn't a valid directory name in your system. Or... there are many other possibilities. But anyway I recommend tossing all of that unzipping business out of your program and just trying to write something which creates a directory. Debug that first. -
how do i download 15 photo folders to my ipad. it only lets me download one. if i try download another folder, it deletes the previous folder.
You need to select and sync them in one go. Photos that you sync from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you've effectively been telling iTunes to replace the folder that you've just synced with a new folder

I have some photo folders on the Touch, but once they are on, how do you delete them if you need/want to?
Hi njchalupa,
Currently you can't delete photos or photo albums directly from the iPod Touch.
If you want to delete an entire photo album, you'll have to connect your iPod to the computer and uncheck the correspondent photo folder.
If you want to delete certain photos from a photo album, you'll have to delete or take out those pictures from the folder on your computer.
Hope this helps!

My wife has an old Windows Vista computer that is unable to operate the new IOS. I have installed iTunes on my Windows 7 computer and authorized the computer on iTunes. We are unable to delete/recognize photo FOLDERS from her iPhone 4 on my computer within iTunes. The only photos I can pull off her phone are being recognized by the windows system as a camera plug-in from her Camera Roll on the iPhone.

iOS does not operate on the computer.
If she has Vista, she can run iTunes 11 which is needed for iOS 7.

Do you want to delete the photos on the camera or copy them back to the computer? -

Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty. The same photo folders in Windows Photo Gallery are full of photos. How do I fix this?
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I can see photos from a particular folder, but when I go to photo folders all I see is a black box. I am unable to see them but it will scroll thru them? I can select a random location in the black box & it will the change photos but I never know what I going to get.
I tried closing FCP then open iPhoto first & then open FPC but no good.
Any suggestions? thanksI relaunched holding Option-Command & reset preferences. My photos are now there thank you. But now all my videos are gone?
