Can't Label Some Folders a Color

There are certain folders I would like to label red so that I remember to not touch them at all. There are some folders where that option is grayed out (I'm assuming because it's an important file). Any way around this?

those would be folders that you don't have write permissions to. You can change the permissions on those folders and give yourself write access but there is really no need. if you don't have write permissions you wouldn't be able to touch these folders anyway so there is no point in coloring them.

I can't open some folders anymore

Hi everyone
Since some couple of months, i can't open some folders on my macbook air and pro anymore. when I try to open some folders, than every icon disappears, and I am at the some place I was before. The folders exist, because when I try to open some files from the search bar, it works, but I can search the files into the folder!
Did anyone have a similar problem?
tx

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process (Finder). For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

TA21041 I can not open some folders and get not have permission to open the folder

I can not open some folders and recieve the message: you do not have permission to open this folder. how I can solve it?

Select that folder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself read access under Sharing & Permissions. This shouldn't be done on folders in system directories.

Can't open some folders

I have just re-installed the OS and "migrated" some old things, and now there's a few folders that I can't open. I get this message:
The folder "xxx" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.
What to do?

Where on the disk drive are these folders located? If you select one and invoke the Finder menu option File -> Get Info", what does it show as the owner and permissions and how does this compare to folders you can open?{quote}
Thanks for asking the right questions.
The folders I couldn't open were not on the OS drive but on other internal drives. They had a small red "don't pass" sign on the down left corner. In the Get info, under Sharing & Permissions it said: You have no access.
At the bottom there are two accounts: "my name" and "everyone". I unlocked the folders then changed the everyone account from No access to Read & Write - and now everything is good. Thanks again!
But why some folders have this problem? I am logged in as "my name", not as "everyone"... Is there a setting somewhere that I should correct?

Finder problem-can't sort some folders in list view

Hi,
I have a problem with some of my folders in Finder. I prefer to use 'list' view when working in Finder. However, in some of my folders the item bar is greyed out and I can't click the bar to sort. From the image below, the left image is the folder in question; the right is the normal view that I like to work in where I can click on the bar to sort items.
I'm not sure why this is happening, so could somebody shed some light on this please.
Thanks.

I had the same question. Credit goes to http://superuser.com/questions/339525/os-x-lion-new-finder-view-that-doesnt-allo w-sorting for the answer.
If you have a window that is in this state, first click the title bar to make sure it's the "active" window, then go to the "View" menu, then click "Sort by..." : None.
Make sure "None" is active, then you can sort just like it's 1984-2010.

Where can I find some information about color atttributes

Dear friends.
I want use color attributes with <HTMLB:chart>. There are some examples about that. But I don't know what code is matched with color.
regards.

Current color selection for the charts is controlled by the attribute <b>colorOrder</b>. Sample example
<htmlb:chart id                  = "gph2"
                    chartType           = "COLS"
                    titleCategories     = "SALES ORDERS"
                    titleValues         = "Number"
                    legendPosition      = "NORTH"
                    data                = "<%= data %>"
                    height              = "300"
                    colorOrder          = "SNAKE"
                    width               = "300"
                    displayObjectValues = "X"

How to hide some folders in a woprkspace from some external users?

Hi
We manage a workspace that has both Internal external users. We have a requirements in a way that external users can only see some folders they have access to. What is the best way to accomplish.
I reviewed an article in "How to" section which describes how to use ACLS to hide some folders from certain users (https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/External_06_howto.html).
But this process is cumbersome as we need to go to exh folder and revoke permission for selected users. And also if we add any new folders to the workspace that folder will default be accessible to the external users also. We want by default any new folders do not have access to this group of users except the ones we provide access to.
How can we do it?
Regards
Ram Uppu

Ram,
We have a new process which is much more easily used - the https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/External_06_howto.html page has been upfdated to show the new process.

Odd Error with Fireworks not seeing some folders or files

I have just updated to OS X 10.5.1 running on a Mac Pro 2x
2.66Ghz dual-core Intel Xeon with 5gb of memory.
I have been using CS3 for some time now on OS X 10.4 with no
problems. After the upgrade I now can't see some folders and files
via Fireworks. Even files I have just worked on in Fireworks and
saved to a folder. I then try and re-open them by looking in the
folder I just saved the file to but it's not there. If I look with
Finder or any other Adobe program I can see it without any
problems.

I moved the mobilesync path where my backups should be stored. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone. How do I fix this?

A while ago, I moved the mobilesync path so that it would stop trying to backup onto my C drive. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone It just tells me that the backup is corrupted. When i go to preferences, devices, and look under backups it is empty. How do I fix this?

Howdy there mjspace1994,
It sounds like you are unable to backup your phone after moving the mobile sync folder from its default location. If moving it back manually does not resolve the issue, I would next use either of the following articles to remove iTunes from your computer and then re install it. The articles outline the proper order to remove them in, and step by step instructions:
Remove and Reinstall iTunes and other software components from Windows XP
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label.

I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label. when I click on the filter drop down, color label is not one of the options. how do I get both ratings and color lables as an option to sort with.

You can Filter (not sort) on both color label and rating if you want, open the Filter Bar with the backslash key, then click on Attribute, and then select the stars and color label of interest. If you really meant "sort" and not filter, then you can't do this in Lightroom.

My screen is distorted blurred and some weird funky colors what is wrong and how can I fix it

My screen is distorted, blurred and some funky weird colors very hard to read. What is wrong and can it be fixed

Try Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors>Off.
Or, reset your iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Color label of folders in applescript

Hi, I have a script to create job folders, the folders within are split into 2 sections and I want to colour label the folders in the script.
One set is for artwork and contains the start 'AW' and one set is for creative and contains the start 'CR'. I'd like all the artwork folders to be green and all the creative to be yellow, can someone help me and amend the script below to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

you added the code incorrectly in the other thread. Your handler should look like this:
to MakeFolderStructure out of SomeItem at SomeFolder
          set ParentFolder to SomeFolder
          if class of SomeItem is list then
                    repeat with AnItem in SomeItem
                              if class of AnItem is list then -- add subfolder(s)
                                        MakeFolderStructure out of AnItem at SomeFolder
                              else -- add a new child folder at the current parent
                                        tell application "Finder"
                                                  make new folder at ParentFolder with properties {name:AnItem}
                                                  set NewFolder to the result as alias
                                                  if name of NewFolder begins with "CR" then
                                                            set label index of NewFolder to 3
                                                  else if name of NewFolder begins with "AW" then
                                                            set label index of NewFolder to 6
                                                  end if
                                        end tell
                              end if
                    end repeat
          else -- add a new (potential) parent folder
                    tell application "Finder" to make new folder at SomeFolder with properties {name:AnItem}
                    set ParentFolder to the result as alias
          end if
end MakeFolderStructure
Note that I changed SomeFolder to NewFolder in the Finder block. SomeFolder is not used after that line, but it is used earlier, and using a new variable is less confusing.

Can't see some WebDAV folders

Hi All,
We have a file server and Sharepoint intranet in our office. On Windows XP, I can connect to the web share and see and browse all the folders. On Mac OS X, I able able to connect to the server just fine (using http://server) and login into the WebDAV dialog box. However, it seems I can only see system folders from the web server like _images, _private, etc and NOT actual shared folders (or document libraries in Sharepoint). They just seem to be hidden - i know they are there because I can see them in XP.
Is this is a problem with WebDAV compatibility in OS X or am I missing something?

Hello
We are customers of Oracle since Oracle 7. We have used all the Oracle databases from Oracle 7 to Oracle 11, and we also used Oracle Collaboration Suite. We have been always very happy with the stability of all the products we used.
But we can’t say the same with Beehive. We had to open more Metalink SRs in the last two months than in the previous five years. For us, the current release looks like a beta software more than like a production release. But this is only an opinion, based on our painful experience. Maybe all the others customers had better luck than us, and didn’t hit the bugs we experienced.
I can’t participate in a debate about if Beehive architecture is better or worse than Collaboration Suite architecture, because I really don’t have any idea about it. I just gave my opinion about our experience, that could coincide with other customers experience or not.
From our point of view, knowing OCS and Beehive, what I can say in favour of Beehive versus OCS is his better integration (Blackberry, Thunderbird, etc.). But I still think that it offers us much less functionality than OCS, as per today. Lets see the next releases, with the so expected workspaces management tool, including versioning, check in/out, etc. :)
Best regards,
Miguel

Can't delete some files and folders.

Hi. Recently, I have downloaded some files from the internet. But when I want to delete them, it is impossible. Computer asks for administrator code (I am the administrator), which I give allright, but the file just stay where it is. Same thing for some folders. I managed to empty them, but they won't go to the trash. Repairing permissions didn't change anything. Help please. Thx.

Check here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
Also try highlighting a file and then pressing COMMAND I and see if the file is locked, if so try unchecking the Locked box and try again.
Also check into TrashIt:

I am an absolute newcomer to Lightroom. I have downloaded images from camera (OMD EM1) and divided them into folders. Some folders work ok in Develop mode. With other folders I get the words "This file could not be found". What should I do

As an absolute newcomer to Lightroom 5 I have downloaded images direct from camera (IOlympus EM-1) and divided them into folders. When I go into Develop mode, some folders can be developed ok , but with images from two other folders I get the message "This file could not be found". What should I do?

may i suggest opening the files in Olymous Viewer 3 and exporting them (you can do some editing there if you wish or not) asTIFF files. After that you can import the new files into LR. LR seems to like tiiff more than .orf files
The advantage to using OV3 is that it seems to do a much better job converting RAW EM1 files. Colors are more accurate ( my red flower pot turned orange when loaded directly into lightroom)
. The tiff files just LOOK better in LR after the conversion . there is a youtube on this subject and when i tried it myself i was impressed
