Can't create new files after moving to ext drive, LR4

I moved all photos to a new ext drive (they used to be on the c drive); reformatted my desktop computer; reinstalled LR4.
Now there is no parent file under the name of the ext drive on which I can right click and "create a folder inside....". I am able to create new folders in the existing subfolders.
There is also no way to sync the drive to find a new folder I created via Windows explorer.
My filing system is by month and year so now with each passing month I am not able to set up a new file.
Help!

Can you right-click on a folder name in the Lightroom Folder Panel and select "Show Parent Folder"?
Can you import new photos directly to the desired folder in the desired location?

Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to Mac from Dropbox

Please help! Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to iMac from Dropbox. Says I need the newer version of Numbers each time I tried to open the file. I am 100% sure that I had the newest version. Spoke to the AppleCare guy and after doing the checks he is also sure that I had the latest version of Numbers and AppleCare can't help. He suggested that maybe i should run it on a file repair program...any suggestion?... please help...

I've read reports of people having trouble when storing Numbers 3 documents on Dropbox. I think it's related to the fact that they're not really "files." They're "packages" that look like files. I had thought that Dropbox had cleared this up with their latest update. You should be on Dropbox version 2.4 or later.
If you have Time Machine you may have some luck going back in time and restoring the document from a previous version.
Storing Numbers documents on iCloud works much better, at least for me, and (unlike Dropbox) iCloud facilitates automatic syncing to other Macs and iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID.
Perhaps you could consider keeping Numbers documents in iCloud instead. iCloud is deeply integrated into the app, and now works well.

Can't create new users after GroupWise is moved from NetWare to Linux

Hi,
I moved GroupWise (Version 6.5 SP 6, single domain and single office)
from NetWare 6.5 server to SUSE Linux Enterprise server 9. It seems the
GroupWise server is running oaky. Existing users are able to connect
their mail box and send and receive messages. But I can't create new
users on the GroupWise server.
I used ConsoleOne installed on the Linux server to create new GroupWise
users. It seemed that I was able to do it. The new users appear on the
NDS and the GroupWise File IDs were assigned for these users. And I was
able to add these new users to distribution lists. But the users DB
files (userXXX.db) were not created under /grpwise/po/ofuser on the Linux
server and they cannot connect to the server. Old users cannot find them
in Novell GroupWise Address book.
Does anyone how to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance!

This clearly sounds like your domain (which is the part of groupwise
which you admin against) doesn't/can't talk to the postoffice, so the
change you made (to the domain) does never get to the PO (which is where
the addressbook of your other users come from, and is what is
responsible for creating the user DB). This seems very likely to be
caused by your move not being done properly, and old information (either
path or IP address) for the PO still being in the domain and/or domain
database.
So how's the domain linked to the PO?

Can't create new files in Illustrator CS5

We have a couple of custom New Document Profiles as well as the standard ones for Illustrator. When I launch the Illustrator it opens fine. I can create a single new file and if I keep that file open and create more new files after it they open fine as well, but if I close the files and then try to create another new file nothing happens. It doesn't matter which profile I use. If I shut down and restart Illustrator I can create a new file again.
I checked permissions on the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5.1/en_US/New Document Profiles folder and I have read/write to it and all contents.
Any suggestions on why this might be happening and what to do to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ok, think I figured this one out. We had the option under Type Preferences to Show Font Names in English selected. Apparently this causes some kind of conflict. I realized after posting above, that something was happening when we were changing our preferences to cause this. So I went through each preference panel, made my changes and quit then restarted Illustrator until I got to the one that brought the problem back. I could reproduce the error by turning this option on and eliminate it by turning it off. So I'm going to assume that is the cause. If I find out any different down the road I'll post back, but for now I'm considering it mystery solved.

HT4075 I don't have any problems merging the documents by dragging, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I tried save and export, how can I create the file after merging?

Hi, I'm having trouble saving the documents when merging in Preview. I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

Can't create new folder on an external hard drive, and how to transfer files?

Hello everyone,
the non-English speaking videographer I translate for is having problems operating his Premiere CS5 for Mac from an external hard drive. He cannot create new folder on the external hard drive (the "New Folder" button is grayed-out when tries to export media onto the external hard drive) and when he simply tries to create new folder, the "new folder" option isn't available.
He suspects it's because the hard drive was formatted for PC.
Questions:
- should PC-formatting cause that problem?
- what's the proper way to transfer media files from PC-formatted external hard drive to the internal hard drive on Mac?
Would appreciate your advice.
Dimitri Vorontzov

He is right on the money
Now, for the sad or FAT part. You need to format the drive as FAT32 to make it work both on PC and MAC but, and that is a big BUT, the max file size of any given file will be 4GB. I haven't treid other formats yet, like the journaled MAC OS extended, but I don't think that would work. We transfer our files through or own gigabit network so I never had to try it, other than FAT32 formatted SDHC cards.

Can't open existing/create new files after reinstall

I had the trial version installed to test the software and everything was running fine until I started having some issues with my computer. So I ended up reinstalling the trial version and now I can't open existing XLF files or create new ones. Both the "new" and "open" icons are now grayed out.

Hi,
Issuess if Opne and new are grayed out..
Make sure you take a fresh copy of Xcelisu and reinstall the entire application again.

Can't create new files in curlftpfs mounted directory

Hi All.
I'm trying to mount an FTP directory locally so I can use it as a local directory.
I have this in my fstab:
curlftpfs#USERNAME:[email protected] /media/ftp fuse rw,allow_other,proxy=,uid=500,user 0 0
now, here's the weird thing.
I can edit files in there fine.
If I try to create a new file (using mousepad for example) the file is created, then I get an error 'unable to write file'.
The problem with that is that when I try to (for example) create a new project in kdevelop using this directory, the 'unable to write file' error means kdevelop isn't able to create it's project file.
Help?

Can't create new file automator action

I'm trying to create a new Automator action that prompts the user to choose a new file. The Action is similar to the "Ask for Finder Items" actions except that it asks the user to choose a new file and not one that already exists.
I chose to write it in applescript:
script PicknewFile
property parent : class "AMBundleAction"
on runWithInputfromAction_error(input, anAction, errorRef)
return choose file with prompt "Where do you want to save it?"
end runWithInputfromAction_error
end script
When I try and run it, I get the following error message in the Xcode console.
[Switching to process 10606]
Program received signal: “EXCBADACCESS”.
[Switching to process 10606]
sharedlibrary apply-load-rules all
No memory available to program now: unsafe to call malloc
Data Formatters temporarily unavailable, will re-try after a 'continue'. (Not safe to call dlopen at this time.)
kill
Does anybody know when this happens?
Thanks,
Scott

Looks like I was wrong. I created a brand new project in Xcode and all I did as add "choose file name" to the applescript. It still gets a "EXCBADACCESS". I also tried a 'display dialog "Error"' in my applescript and it does the same thing.
Here is the script the fails. Everything else in the project is default.
script ChoosenewFile
property parent : class "AMBundleAction"
on runWithInputfromAction_error(input, anAction, errorRef)
-- Add your code here, returning the data to be passed to the next action.
display dialog "Error"
return input
end runWithInputfromAction_error
end script

Can't Create New File, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello,
I've been trying to read the previous forums on this topic and none of the advice has worked for me. I am running Photoshop 7.0 on Windows XP. It has been running fine for several years until this week.
I ran the Spyder 2 Suite to calibrate my laptop and LCD monitor and now the problem has arisen. One of the software's requests was to disable Adobe Gamma so I deleter my Adobe Gamma Loader.exe file from the start up folder.
As I went to create a new file in Photoshop, nothing would happen. The whole drop down menu for File was grayed out and I would have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of Photoshop. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, as well as uninstalled the Spyder software and still can't create a new file.
I checked and my Adobe Gamma Loader is back in the startup folder.
I also tried deleting my printer and took down my firewall like other posts have listed but those also did not work.
Please help!!!! I need to get back to some work asap!
Thanks,
Ryan

try resetting your preferences per the faq:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
also make sure you're running ps 7.01 there were tons of bug fixes in that update over vers 7.0.

Can't create new files nor open existing ones.

It's been a while since I last used photoshop, a similar kind of problem made me move away from the product, but the new features in CS6 are enticing enough for me to be interested in trying it again.
My problem is that, while the interface is completely usable (I can open the color picker, play with tools and preselects) trying to open a file or creating a new one does absolutely nothing.
File->New or CTRL+N will show the busy cursor for but a brief second, and then disappear, dragging a file to the interface shows me the "denied" cursor (black circle with a bar), File->Open lets me browse my disk but then when I select the image, nothing happens.
I've been scouring the forums for a solution to this and tried so many things that it's impossible for me to even try and list them all, so I'll accept any suggestion and try anything, I'll sum up what I did try in the first post (if it stays editable).
Please let me succeed in this, I'd love to go back to photoshop.

How can I test the other display theory? I didn't connect any new monitor (I do use 2) but I occasionally use stuff like remote desktop tools.
I'll try and update the display drivers (even tho I updated them recently).
P.S.: opening it on the other monitor worked. What the heck. Any way I can make it work on both monitors?
I'll be making more tests in the meanwhile.

Hi MemphisBELLE, and a warm welcome to the forums!
You've done about everything you can without The Install Disk, if your friend doesn't have that then call Apple with the Serial# handy, or seek an Apple Store/Provider.

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Hi, I've been asked to join this discussion. CCleaner is a nice tool, but if you used the Registry Cleaner that came with it, it might have done something to Photoshop's registry entries. There is that danger in using them.
One thing CCleaner does is leave a backup of the registry, or you can use Windows System Restore to go to that point before you ran the Cleaner. Let's go with System Restore. Review the instructions.
System Restore - Microsoft Windows
If you suspect a virus, I'd like to direct you here http://bleepingcomputer.com/
That would be the "Am I infected?" forum.
They have the tools, you run them, and copy and paste the logs that are generated. They are very good at this, but it is super important you follow directions and don't leave until the process is completed.
