Can I manually create a folder in //Library/Scripts?

I came across an article that provides a link to an AppleScript script that allows a person to manage multiple iWeb projects/sites and it is at:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060126122633213
I saved the script to ~/Library/Scripts/Application/iWeb and it appears in the scripts list in iWeb. I then decided to move the actual script to my Documents folder, create an alias and move it to ~/Library/Scripts/Application/iWeb so I can minimize the number of places I need to backup. I would like to move this script to //Library/Scripts so all accounts have access to it, but before I do I have a question. Can I just create a folder in the //Library/Scripts folder or is it more complicated than that?

Can I Manually Create an iMovie Event Library

When we import movies from our digital camcorder, I like the way iMovie automatically creates event libraries for the year in which the movies were filmed. However, when we bring in analog media (using a converter), it simply imports the movies into the current year; i.e. 2008. I would like to create event libraries for previous years and move the imported movies into those years. I can't find a way to create a 1994 (for example) event library, however. Any ideas?
Thanks...Jim

The trick here is to change the date of your imported analog video to the correct date. Then iMovie will categorize it properly. There are many ways to do this. My favorite is an application called "A Better Finder Attributes".
Karsten's website has a good post on the various options. Here is a link.

Configure PHP Server: Why Can't I Create a Folder in the Web Root?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a new Flex 3 app with PHP as the application server type. I'm running: Flex 3.2, MAMP, Zend, PHP on an iMac with OS X 10.5.8.
Unfortunately, Flex won't let me validate my configuration.
a) I created a folder in htdocs called house.
b) I filled in Flex's Web root as: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/house
c) Root URL: http://localhost
When I try to validate, it fails.
If I remove the folder house and try to validate as:
Flex's Web root: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs
Root URL: http://localhost
it works.
Why won't it let me create a folder in the web root? I've got a lot of other stuff in my htdocs folder and I'd like to keep things organized. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

Dreamweaver cs6 fails to create a folder for the scripts

Dreamweaver CS6 does not automatically create a folder to store the scripts therefore the navigation bar is not created as it should? Does it need to be re installed on the network. Is it something on the network that prevents it from creating the folders?

I have no trouble creating folders manually in the local site Files panel (F8). Right click on sitename. Select New Folder. Name it. Move scripts into to that folder.

Loading to smug mug, avoiding the need to manually create each folder already in my lightroom.

Looking for advice. I took photos of a danceline competition. My folder structure is the main folder for the high school, with child folders for each performance. This structure remains when I pull into lightroom. Is there a fast way to copy those folder names to publish to smugmug. I'm trying to avoid recreating and naming folders. There are 70 for one competition. Thanks for any help.

Setting Lightroom's preview size to larger than screen resolution is guaranteed to slow things down. I have a dual monitor system whith Lightroom showing the loupe on one screen and the grid on the other. The screen sizes are 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. Following your practice for previews would bring my system to a crawl and I have an entry level workstation.All my previews are of standard 1024x768 in size. The only delays in viewing come when Lightroom is asked to display an image where there is no preview. Once the preview has been created, browsing is near instantaneous.
I beg to differ! The reason is that a preview can be used for any size, which is smaller than that of the preview. Scaling down a preview can be done with little or not loss in quality compared to getting the full resulution and scale that down. Scaling up is not possible.
In your case, you will not use the previews of 1024x768 at all for full screen display. Instead you will force L3 to create bigger previews the first time you open the photo. You could try this by generating the standard previews for new imported photos before you start browsing. Then try to browse. You will probably get the "Loading" message, which indicates that the preview was not used and another one with higher resolution will be made. Then try the same experiment, setting the size of the standard preview to 2048. If, and only if, the size of your display area is not more than 2048 pixels wide and you display a photo in lanscape orientation, you will be able to browse without delay after generating the standard previews.
If I understand your setup correctly, you display the photos in a window of 2560x1440 pixels. I suspect that only 1:1 previews could be used for that. I think Adobe should increase the maximum size of the previews to a value larger than 2048, so that you are not forced to use only the 1:1 previews.
I agree, that when the previews have been generated, browsing is near instantaneous.

How can i manual create a "advance search"?

There is a poplist in the page, and a named "Add" submitButton beside it.
When I click the "Add" button.
I need to create a Bean which is named from the text which is selected in the poplist.
Now, I have two problems:
1.I select a text from poplist, then click the "Add" button. At the first time, I use to setForwardURLToCurrentPage() to create a new Bean. But at the next time, no matter which I select any text from poplist, I only get the text which is selected at the first time. The poplist and "Add" button in one MessageCompontentLayout, and the other compontents (consist of creating new Bean) in the other MessageCompontentLayout.
2.when I create a new Bean, how can I save the Bean which I have created it at previous time.
This function just likes "Advance Search".
waiting for your help. thank you in advance.

Can I manually edit the iTunes Music Library.xml file

Here's why.
Noticed on my Apple TV that there were a number of podcasts that when selected would say "Apple TV cannot play the current song".
Looked in iTunes and these podcasts are no where to be found. Did some searches in Spotlight and also, turned up zeros. Not found.
I then looked directly into my iTunes Music Library.xml file and sure enough there are the records.
What is odd is that the location of all the bad songs have a similar invalid path.
Bad path.
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/iTunes/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Podcasts/KQED/podcast.mp3</string>
Correct Path
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/iTunes/Music/Podcasts/KQED'/podcast.mp3</string>
Now, all of these have dates that lead me to believe this was due to an iTunes upgrade back in September of 2005. It doesn't look like they are causing problems with iTunes itself. However, it is quite annoying for my Apple TV.
Question. Is there a different way to fix this than just manually removing the entries from the xml file?
I haven't tried to edit the iTunes Music Library.xml file just yet as I want to make I don't totally screw things up first.

I did some additional testing here and I deleted the track information from the iTunes Music Library.xml
On start up of iTunes, it does not add the deleted file back in. On the Apple TV, it still shows the bad file.
What I think that means is that even the Apple TV gets its playlist information from another source.
I have also started on another track which is to remove all of my podcasts from iTunes. Which I have now done.
The only ones left are these bad tracks that only show up in the iTunes Music Library.xml file and more importantly on my Apple TV.
I'd put this on the podcast or the Apple TV thread, but still believe this is an iTunes issue.

Can't manually copy song from iTunes library to iPod Touch

I just purchased 2 songs from the iTunes store. I've alway set my iTunes to allow me to manually manage my songs. When I drug the first song from the iTunes library to the iPod Touch, it went fine. When I drug the second one across it, it said it was copying the file and then when it got to the very end the beach ball came up and it never finished. I had to force quit. The second and subsequent times that I have tried to copy the song, I just get the endless beach ball. This is on a 2011 iMac running 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.

OK, I got it to work. I updated iTunes to 12.1. Rebooted the iMac, reconnected the iTouch and tried dragging the song from my iTunes library to the iTouch again. This time it copied OK. I'm not sure why.

My Mac computer hard drive is nearly full so I want to know if I can keep my PSE 11 Organiser as the place where I import and organise and can I then create file folder on my External Hard Drive to keep the files

Also wondering when I am editing my photos and open the editor from the Organiser, will be edits take longer if my photo files are saved to an external hard drive.

Elements will work with images stored on an external hard drive. Keep it connected to the same port.
Saving images may be slower (ehd's usually have a slower write speed) but if you keep the program on the internal drive, performance should be the same.

Please help.It happens only on few sub sites

Hi V_K04,
You said that it happened only on few sub sites, whether this issue occurred on some subsites, and some subsite worked well.
Please check whether there are some differences between the subsites that worked well and the problematic subsites.
Whether this issue occurred on all libraries and lists on problematic subsites.
Whether there are some customizations in these problematic libraries and lists.
Please create a new library and a new list, test again, compare the result.
BestRegards,

ITunes keeps creating a new iTunes Library instead of going to my actual iTunes Library on my external drive.

My old computer died.
Luckily, my iTunes library is stored on an external drive.
My new machine is Windows 8 and my old machine was Vista, but I don't think that should cause any problem.
When I run iTunes, it comes up like a fresh install on a new machine... every time. By default, it creates an iTunes folder in my local drive and as such, has no music in and is a 100% blank slate.
When I point it to my external drive, and then import the library, it does it. All my music shows up -- after a long time, but it all shows up.
If I shut down iTunes or reboot, everything goes back to zero again.
The most disturbing thing about this is that I can't back up properly, because -- although in Preferences it's pointed at my external drive -- it's backing up my iPhone 5 to the local drive in Windows.
Any idea what's going on here?
I've gone through this process 5 times already and it's always the same.

There are two main components to the iTunes library. The media folder which you can adjust via Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and the database file iTunes Library.itl which is normally found in <User's Music>\iTunes. You can choose or create a new iTunes library by holding down shift as you launch iTunes.
In some cases third party software can interfere with the way iTunes updates its files meaning that either iTunes forgets the previously chosen location, or that the active database is deleted. AVG anti-virus and Sony VIAO Entertainment Platform typically interfere with the database. McAfee has been implicated in the corruption of iTunesPrefs.plist.
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for more details on how you might recover after the library vanishes.
You may get some improvment by hosting your entire library on the external drive not just the media. E.g. Create a library at X:\iTunes where X: is the drive letter, then move the media into X:\iTunes\iTunes Media before adding it to the library. This will make it easier to backup the library to a second drive and move it between computers when the time comes.

PS CC: how to create plugin folder

I have NIK Software and have read various postings about installing the plugins... but...
I've gone through Finder (Mac OS Mavericks) and there is no 'Plugins' under the Adobe/Application Support, anywhere.
Can I just create a folder and then drag a copy of NIK software into it?
Thanks for your help.

0. If you don't already have C/C++ skills, this is the wrong project to be doing first.
1. If you don't have the SDK, download it. This will be your constant companion for some time to come. Read the Developer FAQ in its entirety.
2. Consider compatibility. You should download the SDK for the oldest version of Acrobat you want your end users to be able to use. (SDKs older than 9.0 are not available).
3. If you have never built a plug-in, compile and test some of the samples, so you are sure this works.
4. If you want to build a plug-in for Reader, you can't. Not without following many restrictions and getting a license and key, as described in the SDK. You will need Acrobat to do the development.
5. For most purposes, basic knowledge of the PDF file format is a must. (This case might be an exception).
6. Your plug-in is free to use most APIs on the system you run on, with two key exceptions: (a) threading and (b) anything which takes a while because it will block Acrobat. (Threading is not impossible, but requires great care to ensure Acrobat is not called from another thread.
For this specific project...
I don't think you can add to the context menu so you'll probably need to add a tool button for this function. The button can find out the type of selection, verify that it is text, get the text as Unicode, and process it.

Need help with simple folder action or script

I have created an export preset in Lightroom that exports images to a folder called "To Email" on my hard drive, and then automatically attaches those images to a new email in my email client (Mailplane).
It's a great solution that allows me to send a photo via email with one click from Lightroom. However, I want to take it a step further by creating a folder action or script that automatically deletes the image after it is attached to the email. This will allow me to put the folder somewhere deeper in my file system without having to worry about cleaning it out all the time.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with Automator or AppleScript. Can you help? Thanks.

I think you need to rework elements of your workflow.
For example, you say the export preset creates and sends the email.
If this is the case, the the logical place to make your change would be to edit that preset action (I don't have Lightroom to know whether this is an option there or not).
The problem with using a Folder Action is that the Folder Action will trigger when the file is dropped in the folder, but that will be before the email is generated or sent, so you run the risk of deleting the file before it's sent.
So if you can't edit the export preset to do the deletion I would suggest decoupling the 'send an email' and 'delete file' elements from the Lightroom action - in other word change Lightroom to just export the file, and have a separate folder action that triggers when files are added to that folder. The folder action script can take care of generating the email and sending it out, knowing when the email is sent and therefore when it's safe to delete the file.
WIthout seeing more of the current workflow it's not easy to be more specific.

LR 4 & 4.1 can't create new folder manually during photo import

Windows 64, i7, 12GB RAM
I don't seem able to create a new folder manually on photo import. This still works fine on the same PC with LR3.6. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks.

I've sometimes found the 'Make New Folder' option to be a bit hit and miss on Win7....so I generally avoid it. In your case, wouldn't it be easier to have Lightroom create the folder for you by setting up your Destination panel as follows:
Obviously the selected target parent folder in your case would be "Photos Working Folders", use "Organize: Into One Folder", tick the Into Subfolder box and enter the name of the sub-folder you want, e.g. raw0015. As you can see, if the sub-folder doesn't yet exist, Lightroom then shows you that it will be creating it for you.

How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?

How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?
it drives me nuts having to emove all the other websites when I want to upload one.
Sparrow

For iWeb, I like to do only one site per domain file. I move domain files out of the Application Support folder and place them inside project or client folders, or in DropBox. Once you duplicate a domain file and begin customizing it, it will load and behave as a separate project/site.
I publish each iWeb domain/project direct to a server via FTP. Sometime I publish to a folder, then upload via FTP manually.
iWeb is a remarkable tool, especially when you work from scratch with blank tamplates
Here are a few of my iWeb sites:
