Can I Organise using the original folder structure?

I spent some time organising my photos into sub-folders in my "my pictures" folder on my drive. When I imported them into Elements 9 I got a mass of thumbnails all listed in date order. Is there some way that I can organise my view in PSE by their orignal folders (as for example you can do with Picassa?)
Thanks for your help!

Many thanks for both answers and for rapid response! 99jon has solved the probalem and has given the solution I needed.
The reason for wanting to do it this way is that, having gone to the troble of doing the folder structure, it is a good starting point for anything else I may wish to do with PSE.

Why can't I use the original texts?

I'm not quite sure why, but as im editing my new videos, the new text options are only available. I can no longer use the text that was provided in the older version of iMovie. Can someone please tell me why???

Website address?
If Flash is required to use the app on the website, Flash is not supported with iOS devices and Adobe recently announced they will no longer be supporting Flash with any mobile device.

TS1702 Does anybody know how to cancel a paused update for an app, so I can continue to use the original version?

I accidentally hit an app to try to update and I immediately. Paused it but now I can't get into my app to use it! Its staying paused or tries to update! It's a dictionary app that I don't have enough room to update now! ( I do but it would take all I have left) so I would like to cancel it but it's not letting me! Help please! Thanks!:)

What you want to do can't be done. There is no low-friction way to combine image adjustments from Aperture and Lightroom. There is no way at all to combine them without creating new files.
This was recently discussed in this thread.
Are you using the Edge Sharpening adjustment? In Aperture 3, it superceded the old Sharpening adjustment, which remains included for backwards compatibility.

Need to batch convert PDF to RTF while maintaining original folder structure

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I need a way to batch convert PDF files to RTF while maintaining the original folder structure. So for instance, I might get a set of interview transcripts that were conducted with members of 1000 randomly selected households in 3 different cities. Something like this, where the words in all caps are folder names:
BOSTON
       HH1001
            PERSON-1A
                    Interview1.pdf

As u can see, the folder structure can get quite complicated and it's important to keep it the same. Is there any way I can batch convert without having to open all 1000 files at once (which would crash the computer) or without having to add each subfolder to the Export Multiple Files window?
I also tried saving the original folders and files in a portfolio and then converting the portfolio, but that puts all the converted files in a single folder.

For the output location choose 'Same Folder as Original(s)'
Yes, I've done that many times. It doesn't put them in the correct folder structure, it just puts all the new files in the highest-level folder.

Can two computers use the same backup??

I restored a seperate Macbook pro from the Time machine backup of MY Macbook. So I have two computers operating from the same backup. Is that recommended??

Yes, it should do. Once you change the name of the computer make sure you reset TM
See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
When you start the backup it will create a new sparsebundle.. (like a virtual disk that holds the backup on network drives) and you will be able to check that it is correct because it should be a new full backup.
Then you can do a full backup of one of the machines.. the other machine can continue to use the original backup.

It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer. How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

How can I export a folder of images using the original file data?

I have edited my images within the "Develop" mode, but now need to export as jpg's using those settings (note: some are now B&W) and then I also need to process as jpg's using the original settings (color), so my client has all the original color files as well. My files were all shot in the Nikon RAW format, but I can't figure out how to export all the images without using the develop adjustments I have made to each file, including having changed many to B&W. Is there a way to do this? Note that I also don't want to lose all of my adjustments, so can't just reset them all, if that's even an option.

2) Now I need to export all the images that have at least 2 stars
(around 1200), so I can give the client a folder of "originals." This
way, they can view images that didn't make the final edit (album) and
will also be able to print an image that I converted to B&W for
their album in color.
First of all, I think making a backup of your directory (using Explorer or Finder or whatever) might be prudent before you start this little experiment!
So, all of your originals are in one folder, and ~1200 of those are 2-star and 384 are 5-star and have edits, correct?
What might be easiest (although not the most effecient) is to just click on the folder, then use the Library Filter to select everything that's 2 stars and above. This will select all the images that need exporting.
Then follow Jao's instructions for creating a new collection and removing the edits. Make SURE you create your new collection with VIRTUAL COPIES or you're going to wipe out everything you've done.
Your new collection should then have virtual copies of everything 2-star and above, in their original unadulterated state. You can then export to JPG.
I think from now on I will export those files with 2 stars first, then narrow down the the final 384 and make adjustments
You could always create a collection of your "keepers" (2-stars and above). Then, for every image you want to edit, be sure to edit the virtual copy and then put it in a subcollection under the main collection.
That way you kind of have a history of what you did, and you can export (or re-export) at any time. You don't even really need to keep the exported JPGs around, since you can always re-export.
Scott Kelby has a Lightroom book that illustrates this kind of workflow much better than I can. I highly recommend it.

How can I batch move files to the same folder structure in a different location?

Hi,
I recently had an issue with my iTunes Library so I used the Organize Library feature to have iTunes organise my library. What happened was that it put all of my music in a folder called 'Music' on my external hard drive, whereas previously it was not in a folder at all, e.g.
BEFORE: External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
AFTER: External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
I don't have any particular issue with the updated folder structure, except that I had copies of the artwork for each album in my album folders, and these weren't moved when the audio files were moved/consolidated/organised. So I need to find a way of moving all of the artwork to the new folders, e.g.
External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
needs to become:
External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
I have to do this for 3,000+ albums, and I have multiple artwork files for some albums, so I am hoping that there is a way of doing this using a batch/automated method of some kind, but I haven't been able to turn up anything yet.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks,
Nick

You can make a smart playlist containing episodes of both series and play from that. Podcasts are linked together by the URL they are served from so merging ongoing series isn't really practical.

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

Moving original files when you use your own folder structure

I currently maintain my own folder structure (on the HDD) for Aperture to read files from (rather than allow it to create its own complicated structure). Based on what i have seen so far, I understand that Aperture links its project with the HDD folder from where you import images.
In an instance, where I moved my file from the HDD folder structure, the image still appears in Aperture, but with a yellow question mark, and it does not allow me to edit it. Here I am assuming that since i moved the file from its HDD folder, Aperture is no longer able to locate it. Hence, I have the following queries about moving/ deleting files from my HDD:
Q1: If I want to move a file from one HDD folder to another, how do I do so without losing its link in Aperture
Q2: How do I completely delete a file from my HDD using Aperture? Assume here that I have imported it into Aperture but haven't made any changes to it, which means that I have only one version, the master version. Currently, when I delete it in Aperture using 'Delete version', I notice that the file still exists in the HDD folder). Is it that the only way to delete a file is to do so first from Aperture and then use Finder to delete it from the HDD folder? If not, whats the best way.
Q3: There is another scenario for Q2 - If I have made changes to a file after importing it in Aperture, there are now two versions, master version and edited version. If I want to delete both these files, whats the best way to do so.

OK let's take a step back here. In your previous post you wrote asking how to move a file from one folder on your HD to another so that Aperture wouldn't loose track of it. And for that we answered to use File->Relocate Masters. The last two questions concerned deleting images from both Aperture and the HD. And we covered that.
Now you write:
f i want to move my master and version files from one project to another (and the corresponding master files too), i should first move the master files using File> Relocate master and then drag-drop the versions from within Aperture. (I usually maintain similar names for my HDD folders and corresponding projects in Aperture, hence if i move the master, then it makes sense to move the versions too).
Now you're bringing in moving images in Aperture from one project to another. What you are saying is correct but bear in mind:
The library structure inside Aperture is totally independent of the file structure you use to store referenced masters on the HD outside of Aperture.
Now It is possible to have one mimic the other as you seem to be doing but for all intents and purposes Aperture doesn't care at all how the external file structure appears as long as Aperture knows were the masters are.
So if you want to move masters INSIDE of Aperture from one project to another you can simply drag the visible image from the source project to the destination project. All versions will come along, versions are coupled to their masters and as such can't be moved independently. Any versions in Albums will continue to point to the master they came from.
Now if you want to move the master files EXTERNAL to Aperture you need to use the File->Relocate Master command so that Aperture will know were the files are.
Note: there is another command File->Locate Referenced Files that is used to connect Aperture to its referenced masters if the connection between the two is somehow broken. As for example what would happen if you moved the referenced masters using the finder rather then the Aperture command.
So you should be good to go, just remember that the two structures, Aperture library and referenced files, are independent and don't really need to be kept in sync. And by doing this you're making extra work for yourself that isn't really necessary.

If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks. The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed. I wish
to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8. Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation?
If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

Technically, no. The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system. It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM. A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.

edit: removed the duplicate Q&A

Trying to clean up my iMac. Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder. Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?

DO NOT remove either folder. DO NOT mess with any OS X system files either. If you have dupliocates check your files in iPhoto, iTunes and your iMovies libraries. Also check your data files, under ALL circumstances stay away from any OS X systems files or you will probably bork your Mac to the point it will not run.

Can you refer to the original host name when using a challenge redirect?

I have an authentication scheme that uses a challenge redirect to cause authentication to happen using https instead of http. However, this seems to break some of our monitoring scripts because now the credential challenge is coming from a different host name. Is it possible to refer to the original host name with some type of variable in the challenge redirect parameter? Below is an example:
1. User accesses secured URL at http://appstenv2.company.com/testurl
2. This webserver is hosting several aliases (appstenv2.company.com, appstenv4.company.com, appstenv6.company.com) and has a main name of appsdev.company.com - but is a single apache webserver where there is an application server plugin installed which will route to the desired application server environment based on the original hostname. So if a user accesses it with a name of appstenv2.company.com/testurl they will be routed to the "test 2" environment application server. If they access it as appstenv6.company.com, they would be routed to the "test 6" environment application server.
3. This webserver listens on both http and https.
4. The current challenge redirect can only redirect to a specific URL so it is set to "https://appsdev.company.com" which works fine interactively but the recorded monitoring scripts suddenly see a new hostname doing the prompting for credentials even though it is the same webserver - just a different alias.
5. If possible, I would want to do the redirect in a relative fashion rather than absolute by using the original hostname from the URL being accessed. So, if the user was accessing http://appstenv2.company.com/testurl, I would like to redirect to https://appstenv2.company.com for the basic authentication. but with the same authentication scheme, if the user accesses http://appstenv6.company.com/testurl, I would want the challenge redirect to go to https://appstenv6.company.com. I'm hoping it's possible to use some system variable like SERVER_NAME to do this.
Challenge Redirect: https://$SERVER_NAME
Does anyone know if that is available in OAM 10.1.4.3 or some other way to accomplish the same thing with a single authentication scheme?

No, there are not multiple policies - the host names for all aliases on that single webserver are together in a single host identifier. And I realize I can only have a single challenge redirect, I just want to use a variable to redirect to the host name that was accessed as opposed to a static name.
