Burning Playlists with Sub-Folders

I have a playlist and then about 16 sub-playlists under it. I wanted to burn the whole playlist to a DVD disk as a data CD. This is primarily for my car. For example, the USB feature allows me to put music in folders and I can navigate through the artists with one button instead of pressing the button ten times to get to the next artist(s). It lets me burn the individual sub-playlists, but when I try to burn the entire playlist, the "burn playlist to disc" button disappears entirely. I was wondering if there was a way to burn the WHOLE playlist with the subfolders on iTunes, or if I have to stick with just burning the individual sub-playlists.

Sort the playlist by Album or Artist then burn it.

Importing Main Folders with Sub-folders

I am a new Mac user and I am trying to import my photos into iPhoto6.0. I have created main folders with sub-folders (eg. Main Folder = Holiday, Sub-folder = Australia Trip) and would like the sub-folders to appear when I open iPhoto. However, I cannot seem to get the main folder or sub-folder names to appear in iPhoto. The photos just get imported into the library and segregated by year.
I tried reading the forum, and seem to infer that iPhoto cannot handle sub-folder names. However, when I read iPhoto 6.0 Help page, it states:
"You can also drag individual photos or an entire folder from the Finder into iPhoto's photo viewing area. If you drag a folder, a film roll is created with the folder's name. If the folder you import contains subfolders, film rolls are created with each subfolder's name."
I tried the above, but I don't seem to manage to get the film rolls named as described.
Please help!!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Could it be confusion with what you are viewing in the iPhoto window?
iPhoto always shows you a "last roll", which is really more like a smart album than a Film Roll. It is simply a quick way to find the photos from your most recent import session. When I drag in 2 folders to import, it only shows the second folder when I select "last roll." Are you seeing photos from one of your folders, or both of them together?
Select "Library" from the top of your Source Pane to see your entire library. It doesn't mattter if you already have photos in your library or if you're beginning fresh. Under the "View" menu, select "Film Rolls" so that it is checked. Also under View, select "Sort Photos" > "by Film Roll". Now try to select the name/icon of 2 folders in Finder, then drag over the iPhoto window onto where the thumbnails display your library. (Or display nothing, if your library is empty.) Release when the curser is a green plus sign. When the import is finished you should see the 2 folder names (now as rolls) each with a set of thumbnails below it. Check the slider near the bottom right of the iPhoto window; moving it all the way to the left will give you the smallest thumbnails and allow you to see more photos at once.
Please try this again and let me know how it goes. If this does not solve it, then I can tell you how to check what's in your library. But the Film Roll view should work.

Issues with burning playlists with itunes 11.1.3

When I try to burn a playlist to a disc, itunes freezes. I am using an imac running on Mavericks with two user accounts. When I try to burn a playlist with the other user account it just works. So seems to be an user specific issue. Any suggestions?
Rgds, Bernard

You're welcome
If you're happy with iTunes 11 then I'd probably stay with that. The last two versions of iTunes 12 (12.1.0 and 12.1.1) seem to suffer from multiple issues on 64-bit Windows systems (not specific to Windows 7), and even though most of these are resolvable I'm not sure its worth the effort to do so if your earlier version is working for you. I would wait for 12.2 (or whatever the next major release is) and even then check back here to see what reports there are of full resolutions to the issues in 12.1.
Having said that, I'm running 12.1.1 without problems on four systems (three in daily use) - two Win 7 / 64-bit, one Win 7 / 32-bit, and one Win 8/1 / 64-bit.

Solution to using Site Root with Sub-folders on Testing Server & Browser Previews

Hi Everyone
Have found an elegant solution when using Site Root relative linking for a website, that allows browser previews, even when the testing server uses sub-folders and the live code references just the server site root " / " of the live server and not the sub-folder structure of the testing server. This is really useful when you don't want to use document relative linking, which normally takes care of this problem in Dreamweaver.
The solution is to use sub-domains referencing the sub-folders on the testing server, so the sub-folders appear as the root of each website and the html code pointing to the site root works correctly on both testing & live servers without alteration.
Testing Server Setup
One testing server domain is used for all client development work:
For example: www.testingserver.com
On the testing server there are multiple sub-folder (one for each client website being developed):
For example: www.testingserver.com/clientA/ , www.testingserver.com/clientB/ , www.testingserver.com/clientC/
Live Server Setup
The site code needs to be developed with the final live server folder structure (url references) in mind:
For example: www.livesite.com (with all pages referencing the root of the live site server)
Page URLs on Testing & Live Servers
/page-name.html
Testing server url: www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
Live server url: www.livesite.com/page-name.html (without /clientA/ sub-folder)
Browser Previews Don't Work
You want to be able to run browser previews on the testing server while developing the website. To do this you normally have to reference the sub-folder structure of the testing server in the url for things to work right:
For example www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
What do you do, when you can't keep switching all the urls in the code from pointing to the sub-folder to pointing to the site root, and you don't want to use document relative linking?
One Solution - Sub-domains on Testing Server
In your domain hosting (outside of Dreamweaver) setup a sub-domain to point to the testing server sub-folder.
For example: Sub-domain clientA.testingserver.com points to www.testingserver.com/clientA (sub-folder)
So now when you reference the sub-domain it sees the sub-folder as the site root and all your problems are solved.
Dreamweaver Site Definition Setup
Site Definition under "Local Info"
Links relative to: Site Root
Site Definition under "Remote Info" (live server)
Access: FTP
FTP host: ftp.livesite.com
Host directory: /
Site Definition under "Testing Server"
Access: FTP
FTP host: clientA.testingserver.com
Host directory: /
URL prefix: http://clientA.testingserver.com
(location of the site's root folder on the testing server, the sub-domain redirection takes care of pointing to the sub-folder)
This is just one solution but it works well for me as it doesn't have any cost associated with it under our hosting package where you can have multiple sub-domains setup.
Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.
Aly

Just Google it, or run out and buy a copy of David Powers' Foundations Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax and PHP, a book that is never out of reach for me. He details the process explicitly for both Mac and PC.
For me, on W7, I edit the C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file, and add the ip of my testing server along with the site alias -
192.168.1.82 site.local
Then I add this same designation to my httpd.conf file in Apache on the testing server. Finally I restart Apache.
Now from my production machine if I browse to "http://site.local", I get to see either the default file in the root of the site on the testing server, or a directory of the site on the testing server (my testing server is a unix box running on my LAN at that ip address). Furthermore, all of my root relative links now work as they would if the pages were being browsed from the live server.

Syncing photos with sub folders

Hi
Is there any way to sync my photo exactly like them on my pc?
i have a photo folder and many sub folders , each sub folder contains more sub folders
and on my iphone my sub folders merge and they all displayed in one folder

I also have the same problem.
With itunes on windows and an Iphone 3g, I can only sync the first level, so all subdirectory folders appear in the top one.
This means that for example my holidays snaps are all together, which is a real pain to find anything.
I know that using a Mac with iphoto I can do this, but I dont have a Mac.
I have also tried using Photoshop elements 7 and 8 but it only allows the transfer of everything (obviously I want to sync just the ones I want - to save space).
A faq I found said that photoshop elements and album work, but only a very early release of these. Otherwise you get everything.
thoughts or suggestions?
Will apple ever provide iphoto or support a windows tool such as the latest elements 8 or picasa 3.5
Regards
Joe

N95 music player and working with sub folders

Hi, I use file transfer to move my music from PC to N95 and use folders and sub folders within the music folder. I cannot see the folders when using the music player. I need advise how I can transfer my music easily so that I can play music files that are within a folder. regards.

Yes. The refresh seems to have no effect on the Podcasts. I even unsubscribed to all my podcasts--which is supposed to also delete the downloaded podcasts as well; did a refresh and the the podcasts are still listed on the mediaplayer.
Another weird thing is that if the podcast app downloads another podcast, it is added to the list!

Burning playlists with ogg files

For some reason, when I try to burn ogg files in my iTunes library (using xiph plugin they play fine from iTunes) the burning process simply skips them. I looked at the info of one of the files and it seems that iTunes thinks that ogg files are quicktime movies.
Seems like a bug to me. Is there a way to fix this other than re-converting the ogg files to another format?

ed2345 wrote:
If you wish to use iTunes, then convert your OGG files to one of the formats that iTunes supports. Use the converted ones for iTunes and save the OGGs for future players that can handle them.
Ok dude. So you know, there are a number of reasons why I phrased my original question thusly, emphasis added:
glarbl_blarbl wrote:

I had already rejected that option before you kindly suggested it. To reiterate:
*ogg files play in iTunes after installing xiph;
*I am financially invested in my iTunes library, which I use to play break music at gigs -- it's excellent for this purpose;
*I think ogg files are quantitatively better than the other alternative codecs;
*it would be silly to re-encode those files just so I can make my girlfriend a mix-cd -- and I don't want duplicate songs in my library since I might accidentally play the second-generation file at a gig. Some of us have professional standards, you know
Indeed I do hope that Apple reads these forums and especially bug reports. They would be wise to keep people like me happy, since I'm responsible for more than $5000 worth of business for them over the last five years or so.
Again, though, I do think this is a pretty minor issue. It would just be nice if Apple could write a quick email to the guys at xiph pointing them in the right direction.

Trouble with shares and access to sub folders

We're attempting to replicate our Netware configuration to a new MacOS 10.4.6 server. On Netware we where able to create a share that was available to all users, however the folders they saw within the share where governed by their access rights within the tree. For example, take the following structure:
Data --+-- Folder1
|
+-- Folder2
Rights for Folder1 where assigned to Group1 and rights to Folder2 to Group2. All users in Group1 and Group2 could then mount the drive and see the folders that they where a member of.
We have attempted to replicate this on MacOS as follows:
Data --+-- Folder1 (ACL Group1 = Read/Write)
|
+-- Folder2 (ACL Group2 = Read/Write)
However, when you mount Data on Mac or Windows it says you have no access rights and won't let you dig down to Folder1 or Folder2. Is there something I'm missing?

If all users in Group 1 and Group2 have access to
the root Data folder then that permission will
propogate down the tree and they will have read
access to each of the sub folders. If folders within
suddenly gain everyone RW access then they will be
able to open and see the folder.
Thanks, I've solved the problem. I needed all users to have access to the root of the 'volume' but for that not to propogate down the tree. I've found the inheritence settings and that I think has solved the problems.
You can control this by propagating permissions
downward from the top level folder. Do this:
Create a group for everyone who accesses Data called
DataGroup.
Add DataGroup to the group list for everyone. (You
can mass select Users and add the group to everyone
who needs it at once.)
Change the Unix group owner of the Data folder to
DataGroup and set these permissions:
Owner: admin RW, Group: DataGroup R, Everyone: None
Open Data and set Folder1 privileges to:
Owner: admin RW, Group: Group1 RW, Everyone: None
and propagate these settings to the subfolders. Be
sure to propagate Group Ownership and Group
Permissions and Everyone permissions.
NOTE: This is the traditional *nix way - with ACLs
you can do this and then fine-grain the control using
the ACL granting Group 1 Full Control and propagating
that.
Now set Folder2 to Group2 etc.
This allows you access to Data (versus using staff or
some generic Unix group but those will work too) but
allows you to control who has access to the
subfolders. In this case membership in DataGroup only
grants you access to see the folders - it doesn't
even guarantee access to any of the subfolders.
If you want nested folders within Folder1 or Folder2
you can do the same thing - create a folder owned by
a specific user and set Group Read access to none and
propagate that through the subtree. Just be aware
that propagations that happen above that folder can
reverse the settings. Always set large and then get
specific. New Users are granted access to Data by
adding DataGroup and users access to folders are
granted or revoked by adding or removing the Group1,
Group2 etc settings.
I think that once you get it set how you want and try
it you'll find that the Data folder is redundant and
is giving you unnecessary conceptual problems. If you
make the Folder1, Folder2 etc shares then after a
user authenticates they will see only the folders
they have permission to access. If I am in Group1 and
I authenticate my selection of folders will only be
folders accessible by Group1 - I will never even see
Folder2. By grouping them in Data you are adding a
layer of permissions that is probably not needed. But
everyone has their own organizational system and
sometimes it's easier to leave users with what their
used to using. (I have users that still mount Users
and navigate to their own folder even though their
user folder shows up at the login level simply
because that's the way they've always done it.)
No there are good reasons to share the Data folder and not the children below. For example, if you are on Windows clients and you wish to map the share to a drive letter you will have no way of doing this if you don't have the containing folder.
Yes, I understand with ACLs (or at least I think I
do and have setup a system that works). The problem
is that new folders get Everyone Read access. Which
ruins the effective permissions for that folder. I
need a way of making the default posix permissions
O=RW,G=None,Everyone=None.
We have a lot of folders to deal with Folder 1 and
Folder 2 are only examples. We have about 15 or more
folders with sub folders that have differing access
rights. All this we have sorted out except the
default POSIX permissions for new folders/files.
You can change Umask default privilege settings but
DON'T. Well, DON'T unless you're a *nix guru. It
changes the default for all created files - including
those created by the system and this can lead to
serious problems down the road.
I don't want a whole system default change to umask I want one that works only for people connected via AFP, you would think that would be possible. Similarly I want one for SMB access also.
If you get this working you will see that despite the
POSIX settings the ACLs are working. If you really
need your Unix permissions to be set a certain way
chuck ACLs and set "Inherit from Parent Folder" in
AFP and SAMBA. With ACLs on the system will only do
POSIX settings.
In the windows world you either use POSIX or ACLs in the mac world you use a combination of both. That can be an asset but it can also be a major problem. If only you could use the inherit setting for POSIX when ACLs where enabled it would solve all these worries.
Thanks for your time on this.

How do I create sub folders for imported pictures in iPad albums?

I have imported some photos to my iPad for a presentation. The pictures were in different folder under the main folder. After I import the main folder the sub folders are deleted and now all the picture are in one folder. How can I keep the original main folder with sub folders when importing pictures in iPad photo?

Not within the Photos app, but there are other photo management apps in the App Store which allow you to create albums within albums e.g. Photo Manager Pro - that app lets you copy photos to/from the Photos app and copy photos via iTunes : Photo Manager Pro help pages.

Photos Out of Sequence in Sub-Folders in iPad Photos App

I use my iPad when working with ballplayers. Specifically, I use the Photos app with sub-folders for each set of photos. I have tens of thousands of photos in a hundred or so folders. It's very important that the photo albums be in numerical order (the photos are all named numerically).
This used to work just fine, but now I am finding that, in more and more cases, photos are out of sequence.
I upgraded my iPad specifically for this function, and it's making me look unprofessional and is forcing me to have to explain around the glitches.
Is there any way to control how the Photos app sorts photos and ensure that photos are sorted by the file name and number?
This bug is on the verge of turning a valuable tool into little more than a toy.
P.S. The issue may be related to folders that have a larger number (e.g. 100-200+) of photos in each folder.

Everyone please report this to Apple; you can do so here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Right now, there's no dropdown selection for iOS 8, but I selected "iOS 7.1.2" and wrote this in the comments after describing the issue: "I am using iOS 8, but there's not dropdown selection for iOS 8 on the following question, so I picked iOS 7.1.2.." Also, for me, the Submit button wasn't there, but it is located to the right of where it says, "Please read Apple’s Unsolicited Idea Submission Policybefore you send us your feedback."
Hopefully the more people that report this, the more quickly they will fix this.

Pages cannot create Sub- folders!

Boy! Ami disappointed! Apple's Pages software cannot support Sub-folders! I wanted to use ipa for everything and now I realize I cannot. I wanted to create a folder for Recipes with sub folders for desserts entrees etc. but since Pages does not support the sub folder I guess I will have to go back to my PC and Word! Anyone else had this dilemma ? That's a bad oversize by the software fols!

Can't be done.

Getting Photo Stream to access sub-folders

Is there a way to get iCloud/Photo Steam to recognize subfolders under the "Upload" folder? I don't just dump photos under the upload folder, I import photos by date taken and they get their own folder based on date. If i need to the "Upload" folder to be for a specific date then that really limits the amount of photos I will have access to via iCloud. Please help if you can.
Thanks,

Did you ever solve this issue with sub-folders? I am trying to make it work, seems like it just doesn't which is an unfortunate limitation for incorporating a PC into the eco-system.

Mail for Exchange sub folders, any plans?

Does any one know if there are any plans to bring out sub folder support in mail for exchange.
I think this is almost a complete show stopper as current versions of exchange are designed to work with sub folders and the rules written for those sub folders.
So no sub folders support in MfE basically makes it a dead duck IMHO

same here !!
I make it a point to file all my mail correctly in sub-folders so my mailbox doesn't turn into a huge mess but then I have no access to may mail on my E71 !! That's pretty ridiculous...

Search Keywords doesn't work on sub-folders

I finally had to migrate from JASC (Corel) Photo Album to Adobe Photo Elements 9. I had liked using JASC many years ago with the ability to add keywords (I have many) which were stored in a Access database. With Windows Vista the keywords were stored in both the Access database and in the image file. Prior to that it would have been near impossible to convert to any album software. With a recent rebuild of my pc the keyword database in Corel Photo Album no longer worked. Therefore, the migration to Photo Elements 9. I like the robustness of Photoshop Elements 9 but .... and this is the problem.
The intent of having keywords on images is to allow me to find any images that meet a search criteria. After some testing I have found that if I search for a keyword on a single folder I have valid results. If I search on a folder with sub-folders the search will not find any files that meet the criteria even though I can confirm that at least one subfolder has a file that meets the criteria.
Could my problem be with how I loaded the images into PE9? When I first started PE9 I pointed it to the folder with the majority of my images (23,000).
Jerry

Jerry,
I assume that you are using folder view (Display option). If you switch to Thumbnail view, the search will look at all your images.
