Can't Drag (or make alias) Folder from Home Documents into Documents

I have a folder called Documents in Finder's sidebar... and also one under my name (home)... they match up pretty well, but there is one folder in my home>documents file that I cannot get to drop into the Documents file in my sidebar. Why is this? I've made an Alias of the folder and dropped it to my Desktop and then tried dragging it into the Documents folder, but that didn't work either.
On more thing... my Documents file in the dock SHOWS this folder. It even shows the alias. I click "open in finder" but STILL, neither folder appears.

Uh, that's what I'm saying... it should contain the same stuff (because it is an alias), but it doesn't.

  • How can i delete photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s.  when it was synced, the photos went to two folders and not to the camera roll

    How can I delter photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s?  When I synced the new phone from the Itunes, the photos went to two folders and not the camera roll. 

    thanks, should I delete all the phones on Itunes and re sync the old phone, then resync the new phone to get the pictures?  Will they go to camera roll instead of a folder?

  • Can I delete a whole disk folder from my Time Machine backup drive?

    I temporarily mounted a drive (let's call it "Mumble"), forgetting to exclude it from Time Machine's list of disks to ignore. I caught this oversight after Time Machine had done just one hourly backup, and Time Machine is no longer backing it up, i.e., there's no "Mumble" folder in Time Machine's recent time-stamped folders on the backup HD.
    I'd like to recover space on the backup HD by deleting the unwanted backup of "Mumble" files.
    Can I simply delete the "Mumble" folder from yesterday's Time Machine "2009-01-31-155458" folder on the backup HD?

    don't delete anything o the TM drive using finder. you can do this from TM interface. start TM. select your "Mumble" drive in the sidebar. click on the "gears' action button in finder's toolbar and choose 'delete all backups of..".

    How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?  Or better yet, how can I export selected events to a new iPhoto library or an existing iPhoto library with events, titles and keywords intact?

  • HT5824 Can I use only one (selected) folder from my documents in iCloud?

    Can I use only one (selected) folder from my documents in iCloud for MAC and PC?

    If the folders were created in the Photos app on the iPad, they don't really contain copies of the photos. They contain pointers to those photos that allow them to appear in the albums that you create. Consequently, they cannot be imported to the computer. Those albums are for local organization on the iPad only And cannot be imported.
    You should be able to select the indicidual phots that you want to import, as far as I know. I can do it on a Mac using iPhoto or Image Capture, so I assume that Windows will allow you to pick and choose which photos you want to import.

    Physically merge? Yes.
    All you need to do is move the files into your Library folder.

    I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
    Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
    1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
    under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
    2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
    under Input highlight microphone.
    3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
    If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
    (Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
    For any other audio device you do this for input and output.

    can i download windows support software drivers from my pc into a harddrive to use on a mac?

    it's unclear if we are speaking about 2 computer

    if the first then sure a zip file is a zip file
    if the later then no osx and windows don't use the same drivers

  • Can I copy music iTunes Music Folder from my external Hard drive to new PC?

    not sure if this is possible but I copied my folders (documents/music/itunes/itunes music folder) from my local hard drive from laptop to my external (for backing up purposes) and now i have a new computer. can i just simply copy/paste this folder to my new computer and open itunes and it will be there. i know it's probably too easy but was hoping someone could help me out???? thanks.

    You can by dragging them from itunes to your external drive this will copy them to it. Then do the opposite for from you drive to the new computer. Just make sure if you don't intend to keep the drive connected to your new computer. That you put copies of the songs in a folder on it before putting them on itunes or you have problems playing your songs.

  • Can't drag, drop, or move icons from dock

    The issue exactly is that I can no longer move icons to the dock, remove them from the dock, reorder them, or delete them. The context menu still works fine, I just can't drag and drop. Furthermore, if I attempt to drag and drop from a stack, it reads the action as if I am trying to open the file.
    I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1
    Things I've tried so far:
    Repair disk permissions
    Repair ACL permissions
    Rebuild directories
    Relaunch dock
    Reset dock to defaults
    Rebooting/logging out (both fix the problem temporarily, however it returns within an hour of regular use)
    Trying to hunt down any extensions that might be causing issues...can't find anything (problem persists in guest account as well)
    Rebuild and repair kexts
    Cleaned out all caches
    Reinstalled OS X
    Wiped disk and performed clean install.
    I don't have anything installed that does any low level modifications (no third party antivirus or tweaking/tune up tools). For the life of me I can't figure this one out and it's really getting annoying to not be able to use my dock.

    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Learned from leonie.

  • How can I remove the junk mail folder from appearing in my macbook mail program?

    Hi all
    Can someone please tell me how I can remove the "junk" mailbox from showing in my mail program on my macbook? It wasn't there before and I would like it removed. I've attached a screen shot to be clearer in my request.
    Thank you!

    Hey PrincessJasmine,
    I see that you wish to get rid of the Junk Mail folder from your sidebar in Mail on OS X. I have an article for you that will explain how to do this:
    Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail. Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” and “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” are selected.
