Bridge creates unwanted folders on my desktop.

I recently upgraded to OSX Lion.
Ever since then each time I open Bridge (CS5) it creates 4 folders on my desktop.
'data', 256, 1024, and 'full'.
Can anyone tell me where to stop this from occuring. Just can't seem to locate anything in preferences.
Help. It's driving me nuts.

'data', 256, 1024, and 'full'.
Those are the 4 folders that contain your preview and thumbnail cache. By default they should reside in the user library in your user account. The path would be: ~(user)/library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS5/cache
Also by default the user library in OSX7 is hidden, do a Google search on how to reveal the library.
And check your Bridge Preferences Cache section. Inhere you can choose the location, you probably changed this to your Desktop? and this is not a good place for it. The cache can grow to huge proportions according to the amount of files, file size and 100% view you use.

ITunes doesn't see new iPod nano and creates 'iPod' folders on the Desktop

My mom got a new 5th Gen Nano. When it is connected to my parents' iMac (G5 with built in iSight running Leopard), iTunes doesn't see it. The strange thing is that the iPod itself goes through the normal synching procedures about every 30 seconds, and every time it happens, it creates a new 'iPod' folder on the desktop. The really strange thing is that each folder is actually a mounted volume that cannot be ejected and the only way to remove them is to reboot the system. Right now, there are 11 of those folders on the desktop (I am connected via screen sharing in iChat.
Any idea what to do about this one?

So, I found out how to fix this issue. In "My Computer" right click on the iPod and format it. I chose to format it using FAT and Default allocation size. After that, I opened iTunes and it recognized my iPod Shuffle. It said it wasn't formatted properly but gave me the option to restore it to factory defaults which fixed everything. Way to go Self. Thank you. You're Welcome

IPod creates unwanted folders.

My songs on the computer have only one folder per artist. I want my iPod to show only one folder per artist. However, when I download my music to the iPod, multiple folders are created for each artist. I dont care what album the song came from, I want all Clapton songs together in one folder. How can I do this?

You can't. Folder structure on the iPod is designed to be obtuse in order to minimise it's potential for sharing music... Pointless with so many 3rd party tools and alternatives to the iPod (e.g 8gb memory stick for £20) but there it is. When it comes to using the device for it's primary function, listening to music, it makes no odds how the files are arranged, you use the iPod's menus to choose things to listen to.

Re-ordering smart albums creates unwanted folders

Can anyone explain why this might be happening? When I do this now (a familiar routine I've done 100s of times in the past), a new, untitled folder is created, containing the album I am attempting to move into a different location in the order.

The original post included the solution to the problem.

Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
Thank you.

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

Mysterious Untitled Folders Appearing on Desktop

My finder seems to be creating untitled folders on my desktop without me asking. This started happening right after I installed 10.5.3. I will be working, go to my desktop and see untitled folder 1, untitled folder 2, and so forth. Sometimes it's just one, sometimes I return to my desktop to find 4 or 5. This is very strange and nothing like this has ever really happened to me with the OS. It's not a huge problem, more like an annoyance, but I find it kind of strange. Has anyone has a similar problem?

Yeah. It's a mild annoyance at the moment but I fear it will drive me insane eventually

Empty Folders appearing on Desktop

Keep getting folders on my desktop that I am not putting there.
The folders are Untitled FOlder 1, Untitled FOlder 2, Untitled FOlder 3, and then also Burn Folder 1, Burn Folder 2, Burn Folder 3, etc.
They just appear. I leave the computer, come back hours later, and there they are. Delete them, but same process repeats itself.
They are all empty.
What the heck is that all about? How to stop it?

I asked the question twice, but did not get an answer?
"So is there anyone else who has access to your Mac, either physically, through File Sharing, or through Screen Sharing?"
The sharing settings on the other computer do not matter, because the folders are not appearing on those computers. It is the sharing settings on your iMac that matters. As I said before, the three ways I can think of to reproduce what you describe are:
(1) When you are away from your iMac, sneak in and put a folder on your Desktop.
(2) From one of the other Macs, connect to your iMac over file sharing. To do this, I would have to know your user name and password, and you would have to have +File Sharing+ enabled on your iMac (the sharing settings on the other Mac does not matter). Once connected, put the folder into your Desktop folder.
(3) From one of the other Macs, connect to your iMac using screen sharing. To do this, I would have to know your user name and password, and you would have to have +Screen Sharing+ enabled on your iMac (the sharing settings on the other Mac does not matter). Once connected, control your iMac and put a folder on your Desktop.
If it happened while you were sitting at your computer and paying attention to the screen, then (2) would be the only way.
The fact that it did not happen when AirPort was turned OFF is consistent. Then (1) would be the only way to make it happen. And it also seems to show that the cause is not some odd background process you have running that creates random folders on the Desktop.
You might try going to System Preferences Accounts pane and changing your user account password. Then, with AirPort turned ON, see if it still happens.

Applescript for creating job folders

having trouble with an applescript. I'm trying to create an applescript that will create a job folder for me with job number and job name in which I can include folders and subfolders.
I found this script by searching google and it's pretty much what I need (thank you to who ever might have created it). I altered the folder names to what I need, and it seems to work for the most part but throws an error at the end that says : Finder got an error: Can't make "drive:path" into type item
however it still makes everything i need. I would just like to get rid of the error.
the script editor highlights the line of text that's having issues for me, but since i barely knew what I was doing in the first place I don't know how or what to change.
if someone could help me that would be great. here is the code.
set thepath to {"drive:path"}
set JobName to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Name:" default answer "Job Name")
set incomingDate to (current date)
set numYear to year of incomingDate as number
set textYear to text -2 through -1 of (numYear as string)
set JobNum to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Number:" default answer {textYear & "xxx"})
set JobNumName to JobNum & "_" & JobName
set newsublist to {{"Builds", {"versions"}}, {"Links"}, {"Fonts"}, {"Proofs"}}
tell application "Finder"
set baseFolder to make new folder with properties {name:JobNumName}
repeat with i from 1 to count newsublist
try
set {tier2, t2Subs} to {item 1, item 2's items} of item i of newsublist
set tier2Folder to make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:(tier2)}
repeat with tier3 in t2Subs
make new folder at tier2Folder with properties {name:(tier3)}
end repeat
on error
make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:(item 1 of item i of newsublist)}
end try
end repeat
activate
open thepath
end tell

There are a few differences with Leopard that still get me from time to time. Tiger's AppleScript doesn't like path to desktop, so instead use the statement:
set ThePath to (get path to desktop folder)
The other thing I hadn't noticed before is if there is an error, the script just stops instead of throwing up a dialog. If you are doing something like using an illegal file name or trying to create a folder in a location that you don't have permissions, then unless the MakeFolderStructure statement is in a try statement it will fail silently. Adding an error display will at least tell you if there is an error, so a script that works in Tiger (as well as Leopard) is:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
-- make a folder structure at the currently selected Finder item
tell application "Finder" to try -- get the current selection
set ThePath to the first item of (get selection)
if the last character of (ThePath as text) is not ":" then -- a file
set ThePath to the container of ThePath
end if
on error -- default to the desktop
set ThePath to (get path to desktop folder)
end try
set JobName to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Name:" default answer "Job Name")
set textYear to text -2 through -1 of ((current date)'s year as text)
set JobNum to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Number:" default answer {textYear & "xxx"})
set JobNumName to JobNum & "_" & JobName
try
MakeFolderStructure out of {JobNumName, {"Builds", {"versions"}, "Links", "Fonts", "Proofs"}} at ThePath
on error ErrorMessage number ErrorNumber -- oops
activate me
display alert "Error " & ErrorNumber message ErrorMessage
end try
to MakeFolderStructure out of SomeItem at SomeFolder
make the folder structure defined in SomeItem at SomeFolder
SomeList defines the structure:
nested list items create folders in the previous text item - {"A", {"B", {"C"}}} = /A/B/C
empty text items will create untitled folders
parameters - SomeItem [mixed]: the folder structure
SomeFolder [alias]: the destination folder
returns nothing
set ParentFolder to SomeFolder
if class of SomeItem is list then
repeat with AnItem in SomeItem
if class of AnItem is list then -- add subfolder(s)

How to create new folders on iCloud Drive from iOS or with document picker?

Recently I wanted to share several files from my iWorks suite with my colleagues. I do not want them to edit these files, instead I made templates in Numbers for easier management of hours worked. Everyone could download their copy and keep a track of their hours themselves. The problem is, not everyone has an Apple product.
Unfortunately, iOS does not support native browsing of iCloud Drive (except the document picker, which, to me, isn't helpful at all), the only way I know of - to create a new folder - is to open iCloud.com in Safari, request the desktop site and make a new folder from there.
Is there another way of creating new folders, preferably an official app from Apple or from within an iWorks app or the document picker that I do not know of? Or is this actually a missing feature?
Also, if Apple could make an app similar to Microsoft OneDrive, that would be great.

Yes, there is a way. Here is the workaround. You can add notes folders directly with your iPad or iPhone.

Can we create a folder in one desktop without sharing that folder in other desktop in mac?

I have created a few desktop in my mac. Can i create a folder in one desktop, which does not share in other desktop?Can I have different folders in different desktop? how to do that?

No. Desktop spaces affect only applications and their windows. If an icon appears on the desktop it appears on every desktop.

Creating New Folders

Is there some way to create new folders in the Mail app on the iPhone? I can see where there is the folder at the bottom with the option to move emails to different folders besides Inbox; however, I can't find a way to create for example a "Hold" folder. I have several folders on my desktop's Mail program, but none got transferred to the iPhone when I did the sync.
Thanks!

if I use IMAP within Mail on my desktop, will my mail "rules" (filters) still function?
Yes. If you have another e-mail client sorting things for you. All of your mail will be sorted when you get it on your iPhone (including de-spammed if your other e-mail program does that too).
Only mail left in your InBox will be automatically downloaded to your phone. If you want to see mail filtered to somewhere else, you will have to touch that folder on the phone.

How do we create new folders?

Hi folks,
Just got a new Playbook and, contradicting all the bad press about it, it is actually very good. The question I have is: how do we create new folders? The only I can see are the "All", "Favorites", "Media" and "Games. Also, how do we sort by name the icons on the desktop? Thanks J. Rola

Hi download Air browser from the App World. IT let's you make new folders, save documents and organize things efficiently. I just came across it last week by accident. Good luck.

I have a new ipad and want to create files for my documents I brought over from my Mac. How do I create file folders?

I would like to create file folders for my documents I brought over to my ipad from my desktop Mac. I downloaded pages and neu.annotate. My files synced without a problem. PDF articles I put in neu.annotate and pages documents into pages but I would like to organize into folders like on my desktop. How can I do this on the ipad3?

Unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system and everything on it has to be stored/associated within an app, you can't have separate folders of documents/files on your iPad's homescreens. If the apps that you have support it then you could possibly use Dropbox to store your documents within a folder structure, but you'd then need internet access in order to access them.

Help! My computer does not allow me to create new folders

My computer just recently started not letting me create new folders. I do not have Google Chrome. I have Windows XP and have not had any trouble until this point in time. The New Folder option is not even listed when I right-click on the desktop and does not respond when clicked in another folder. I have Norton Security, but it might be a virus...I have no idea what it could be and why it is doing this now. I need help.

Hello Nicole82,
I see that you are having an issue with the creating a new folder option on your computer. This is a weird issue but I have a couple of suggestions that could help.
I would like you to click the start menu and type "desktop" in the search bar under all programs. Select the program desktop and when the page opens there should be a "new folder" option at the top of the screen. Click that option and create a folder. Then go to the desktop and right click and see if you have the option to create new folders.

Yosemite: Can't create smart folders at all

Through all the Yosemite Betas, up to and including the 10.10.2 release, I'm unable to create smart folders - either through searching for files in Finder and using the "Save" button, or using opt-cmd-N to create a new smart folder.
The "Save" button does absolutely nothing if pressed.

Just to clarify, Photoshop CC has not been released yet. It will come out on June 17.
What you have now is Photoshop 13.x as per the subscription model (»Abo«) and it's called Photoshop CS6. When Photoshop 14.x is released on June 17, then it will be called "CC".
It's not clear—at least to me—which images, if any, you have selected in Bridge when you hit the »Speichern« (Save) button.
Remember that a Collection is nothing more than a saved search, i.e. a saved collection of selected search results (hits).
Could you elaborate on what it is you want to save as a collection?
