Can I create a smart folder in mobileme

In Aperture3 ~  Is it possible to create a smart folder in Mobile Me so that my gallery in MobileMe will be updated automatically.

If you mean a separate folder on your TM backup drive, then the answer is, "Yes." TM will not disturb it. However, if your plan is to store items on the TM backup drive then a preferable method is to partition the backup drive:
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Be sure you provide sufficient space in the TM partition. It should be at least twice the size of the drive it is backing up. If it isn't large enough for both TM and your storage needs, then you should get a bigger drive or another drive.

  • How can I create a smart folder that only searches one event?

    Is it possible to create a smart album but have it not search my entire library, but only a certain event?
    I have created a smart album to find unnamed faces, but I have many old pictures in my library with strangers in them so the smart album ends up quite large. If I could apply the rules of the smart album to only one event at a time I could find the photos i need with no faces recognized in them easier right after I import them.
    Or conversely, is there a fast way to delete all the unnamed faces boxes for all my pictures with strangers in them- there must be a faster way than going through and clicking the 'X' on each individual face.
    Thanks!

    Make the criteria: Event Contains XXXXXXX and Faces is unnamed.  That will search only that Event.

  • How to create a smart folder that only selects from a specific directory?

    I am trying to create a smart folder that lists all my iPhoto original content in the last few months. I want this so that my wife can connect into the smart folder over the LAN when copying specific photos to her PC.
    I am have trouble working out how to restrict the search to only those files that exists in the iPhoto directory. When I look at info for a photo is states "Where: /Users/Shared/iPhoto Library/iPhoto Library/Data/2009/....etc etc".
    However if I add an filter for "Where from" begins with "/Users/Shared/... etc etc" it returns nothing. Is there a way to do this?

    Find the iPhoto library file.
    Right click -> Show package contents.
    Double click the Originals folder.
    Type anything in the Search box at the top of the Finder window.
    In the top of the Finder window, click "Originals".
    Click the + (plus) sign next to Save.
    Select Kind is Image.
    Click the + (plus) sign again.
    Select *Created date* is *within last 3 months* (or whatever you want).
    Go to the search box and delete what you typed. Don't hit the X to delete the search text.
    Now save the smart search.
    This is saved in ~\Library\Saved searches. Copy or move it to the desktop where your wife can get access to it.

  • Creating a smart folder with Terminal?

    What I'm trying to do might not be possible, which wouldn't surprise me at all. What I'd like to do is one of the following:
    1. Create a smart folder that contains everything in the "/" folder.
    2. Create a smart folder that is populated with every volume currently mounted on my Mac.
    Essentially what I'm hoping to do is create a smart folder I can then use as a stack that would contain all the volumes currently located on my Mac. The only solution I've found so far for this is to use the /Volumes/ folder but this doesn't suit my needs as occasionally I get double icons for drives (1 being the alias the second being a private folder). Also it fails aesthetically which is part of the reason I'm doing this in the first place.
    If anyone could recommend a solution that'd be great. I figured Terminal was my best bet, unfortunately my knowledge of this form of coding is non-existent and no amount of Google searches could help me.

    I don't see how either item on your wish list can be satisfied by any of this "smart" stuff. The smart searches/folders are based on queries against the same metadata used by Spotlight - and that doesn't even look at / or /Volumes. Even if the info were available, is it up-to-the-minute enough to really be usable?
    If you want to examine the built-in searches as a guide, you'll find them in:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/CannedSearches
    Note that each of the items therein is a package, so you'll have to drill a bit deeper to get to the query file. I found that Property List Editor from XTools was a good way to get a structured view of them.

  • If I create a smart folder in iPhoto, and then delete it, are the pictures gone?

    I am still trying to figure iPhoto out. I just created a "Smart Folder" and it imported some of my photos. I decided to delete that folder. Did that delete the pictures or are they still somewhere else in iPhoto or on my computer? Thanks!

    several issues with your question
    1 - there is no such thing as a smart folder in iPhoto
    2 - folders in iPhoto can not hold photos and it is not possile to import photos into them
    3 - there are smart albums - deleting a smart album has no effect on the photos - the "contents" of the smart album are simply pointers to the photos in your library that meet the criteria - deleting the album has no effect on the photos themselves
    4 - as the contents of a smart album is the photos that meets the criteria it is no possible to import photo into a smart album
    5 - it is helpful to know what version of iPhoto you have
    So please ask with correct terms since we can not see you or your computer and can only help based on wha tyou tell us

  • Create a Smart Folder with Red or Green labels.

    Hi,
    I want to create a smart folder with either Red or Yellow label, I tried the "option"-"+" to add ANY condition when creating my smart folder, but seem smart folder still only try to search only one type of label depend on the position of my "ANY" condition.
    From the Get Info, I can see the raw query seem to be correct:
    (true) && ((((kMDItemFSLabel = 6) || (kMDItemFSLabel = 2))))
    Is it a bug in the smart folder?
    Thanks
    Kit

    figured it out. Hold the "option" key while hitting the "+" for a new criteria.

  • Can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders

    I can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders. If I go to (menu bar) Mailbox the 'New Smart Mailbox Folder' item is greyed out.
    Any ideas on what the problem is, or what I could try?
    I already have quite a few Smart Mailbox Folders in Mail, but if I remember correctly I created all these in Tiger & haven't made any since using Leopard (clean install).

    I found the answer and it is really stupid. To ungrey the "New Smart Mailbox Folder" menu option you need to unselect any folders or mailboxes. The quickest way to do this is just click just below them, on the blue-grey bar.

  • Create a Smart Folder for Movies without Video Podcasts in it

    I'm trying to create a smart folder of just movies and not video podcasts. I have tried all different ways, but since you can't make a Kind "is not" something, it is posing a problem. I have tried holding down the option key and clicking the plus button, but that doesn't seem to help either. So with that, does any one have any suggestions?

    Currently there's no way to batch find images without keywords assigned. Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

  • How can I create a mail folder where my gmail folders are

    Hi all, I have Mail with my Gmail account. My 'labels' have appeared as folders in my Mail. That's all great and I've learned how to use them effectively so that they all sync when going back to gmail.
    However I cannot create a new 'folder/label' where all the others are. I can only create a new folder as a subfolder and then move it.
    Is there a way to create another 'folder/label' where the existing ones are.
    See this screenshot, so I'd like to create a folder where 'Adobe' and 'Airmiles' folders are and not as a sub folder of 'Adobe/Airmiles' or of [Google Mail].
    Can I do that? I am able to create the folder as a sub folder and then drag and drop where I want it but ideally want to avoid this step.
    Thanks in advance
    Hayley

    Not in Mail. If you referring to not having to use the menu, you can click the + sign at the bottom to create new mailboxes. But you still have to fill in the window with location and name. You can right click to create a new mailbox on an existing one, but not in the main account itself and you still have to fill in the info. It would create a sub folder.
    You can also try it at the gmail website. There might be shortcuts there.

  • How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac ?

    How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

    You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
    All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
    The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

  • How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder?

    How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder? I have many similar documents that I want to group together. This will also un-clutter my Documents folder.

    Also, you can add a New Folder button to the Finder's toolbar by opening Finder, going to the View menu in the menubar, selecting Customize Toolbar..., and dragging the New Folder icon to the toolbar in the Finder window. Then it's just one-click for new folders wherever you want them.

    I've done it in the past, but I'm not able to do it now, nor am I remembering how I did it. When I highlight the Home Folder in the User's folder and try to make the alias, I'm told I don't have the privileges. Maybe I need to boot up from a different disk?
    I'm setting up a new 24" iMac for a friend. She doesn't like using Finder windows. She puts everything on the desktop.
    that's a bad habit. The desktop will become very corwded very quickly if you do this. I suggest she changes her computing habits.
