Can't make new folder in FireFox Bookmarks

When in FireFox I go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Menu -> Organize -> New Folder and make new bookmark folder, it appears. Then, I move some existing bookmarks into it.
Logout FireFox, start it again. This bookmark folder is absent.
What's wrong?

Hi Ang,
Sorry, I couldn't try your script until I got home from work today, and.... it works. (Thanks... I'll mark my question "answered").
Now what puzzles me is why this works when the simpler form did not.
Some extra info: If I used Script Editor to record a script in the Finder to create a new folder, this is what I got before I ran your script:
<pre>
activate
select window of «class desk»
make new «class cfol» at «class cfol» "Desktop" of «class cfol» "brendan"
of «class cfol» "Users" of «class sdsk» with properties {name:"untitled folder"}
</pre>
But now, after running your script, the original script now works!! I'm completely bamboozled.... but well done anyway.

How do u make new folders in mail when I press edit only move delete or mark comes up nowhere can u make new folder

I can't make new folder in mail on my normal acc or icloud

If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

I just started using fire fox and I cant figure out how to add a new folder to my bookmarks. Can anybody explain how in detail (I'm bad with computers so I need real detail) Please and thank you. :)

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Move up one level in path and make new folder

How do I get applescript to make a new folder one level up from myFolder i.e.
set myFolder to ¬
(choose folder with prompt "Where are the image files for which you want to change exif data ?") as reference
make new folder at myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}
makes a new folder inside myFolder, but how do I tell it to move up one level from myFolder and make a new folder?
Thanks.
Pedro

You can use statements such as the following ones:
*tell application "Finder" to make new folder at container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
or
*tell application "Finder" to make new folder at container of container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
and so on…
And if you want the folder “myFolder” to be contained by the folder “Gallery JPEGs”, use the following statements:
*tell application "Finder"*
*make new folder at container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
*move myFolder to the result*
*end tell*

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 do automatic backup of Firefox bookmarks? What is the name of the bookmarks file and where is it probably located in Windows?

I want to back up Firefox bookmarks automatically. I know that Firefox has manual bookmark export and bookmark. Can it be automatic? If not I will use backup software to do it, but I need to know the name of the bookmark file and where it is located on my hard drive. .

Firefox stores both bookmarks and browsing history in the file '''places.sqlite''' in the Firefox profile folder . On Windows 7, the Firefox profile folder location is something like:
C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''xxxxxxxx.default''' but this location is hidden by default. See [[Profiles]] for help finding the profile folder.
Firefox bookmarks are already backed up automatically.
The bookmark backups are stored as dated .json files in the Firefox profile folder, under the subfolder, '''bookmarkbackups'''. You can restore a bookmark backup file using the information here:
*[[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
For additional information, see:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

Make New Folder

Hi all,
How i can new folder on other system by ip. My system ip like this 20.20.20.84 but i want make new folder this ip 20.20.20.86. You have any Java/Apple script for this.
my both mac connf. Mac OS X 10.6.8
thank you so much
Regard ~Mac1522~

I agree it may not be possible, but again I'm reeading between the lines to presume if the OP wants to create a folder on another system he has a method for logging on to that system.
I run peer-to-peer with my various desktops and laptops here, and I can set them up to allow me to have access anywhere inside my network, but no, you wouldn't be able to get in and create folders from outside my network without my permission (which you ain't going to get, even though we are buddies )

To make a new folder you need to provide a colon delimited string as an alias with a name property something like:
make new folder at alias "AP0015:Produce:Fruit" with properties {name:"Apples"}
which would make a folder named Apples inside a folder named Fruit inside a folder named Produce on AP0015
Here's a commented script which should work:
tell application "Finder"
--set a time out in case the server is not available
          with timeout of 20 seconds
                    try
mount volume "AP0015" on server "20.20.20.74" as user name "AP0015" with password "abc"
                    on error
                              display dialog "AP0015 is not Online"
                    end try
          end timeout
--the path to the folder where the new folders will be created
--in this case it's the root of the AP0015 server
--the path to the destop would be "AP0015:Users:AP0015:Desktop:"
--don't forget the colon at the end of the string
          set baseFolder to "AP0015:"
--the name of the new container folder
          set bfName to "New Jobs"
--a list of the sub folders to create
          set subfolders to {"Art", "Font", "MSP", "Sample", "Version_01", "Xml"}
--make the container folder if one doesn't already exist
          try
make new folder at alias baseFolder with properties {name:bfName}
          on error
                    display dialog "A Folder at " & baseFolder & " named " & bfName & " Already Exists"
          end try
--loop through the sub folder list and make the subfolders
          repeat with i from 1 to number of items in subfolders
                    set subname to item i of subfolders
make new folder at alias (baseFolder & bfName) with properties {name:subname}
          end repeat
end tell

How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
pshultz

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

"AS?" What's that?
myFolder? What application are you using? I think you are in the wrong forum.

Can you make a folder and it's contents temporarily "invisible"---sort of?

Can I make a folder and it's contents, temporarily invisible? I don't mean I don't want to see it. I mean I want to make it such that if an automated process was scanning my computer, it temporarily wouldn't see that folder and it's contents.
For instance, let's say I have a folder on an external firewire drive containing video files. And I'm going to run a batch process or automation that says: "Look at everything on that external drive and move it to another designated location"...but I don't want it to move one folder. And I have several folders on the external drive and I need to keep making some of the folders "visible" to the process or "invisible".
I know I can physically move the individual folders to another location temporarily, run the process, and then copy them back...but I'm trying to determine if there is anything built into OSX 10.6 that
lets you identify a folder and temporarily make it and it's contents "invisible" in the sense that I described above.
To be clear, I don't need the folder to actually disappear...I just need it to be "jumped over" or ignored by any batch processes that would be scanning the external drive, and after I run the process, I want to make it "visible" again.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Do I need to change all three, or just EVERYONE to WRITE.
You normally wouldn't want to change the rights to your name in a situation like this. What you'd want is to have the other app logon to your computer with a different username, (you have to create the additional user in System Preferences,) then change the privileges for that username. This would eliminate the need for you to have to change the settings all the time.
In addition, if you make a mistake, you could prevent any access by your username, which means you'd have to logon as some other administrative user in order to fix your username's privileges. This is why I said I wouldn't recommend this as a first choice.
And are there any keyboard shortcuts for this?
No, but I imagine you could create an Applescript to do this. But as I said above, if you have the process use a different username, then set the appropriate privileges for that username, you wouldn't need to change the rights all the time. Just set them once the first time.

How can I delete a folder from my bookmarks tool bar?

I created a folder, now known as "new folder" for my bookmarks tool bar. I have never put any bookmarks into it, and now I want to get rid of it. Moving it above or below the tool bar does not work. How do I do this?

Right-click this folder and choose Delete.

Can't create new folder to Applications in standard account

Hi.
As I have two accounts one admin account and other standard account and last time it didn’t work in both.
So I just restored factory settings like described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3910
This fixed the problem.
Now again I can't create new folder to applications but this time it doesn’t work only in my standard account but it does work in admin account.
Previously I downloaded this program to open pdb files :http://www.loghound.com/pordible/
But it didn't work for me so I removed it to Trash. That's when I noticed that the new folder icon in applications isn't active but I can't be sure that this caused it.
I used Disc Utility to repair my macbook pro hard disk using Mac OS X Install DVD but it didn't fix the problem.
Is there any way to fix this problem without restoring factory settings again?

I think either way should work OK - it's less of a security risk to use a standard account for "everything", including web browsing, but I confess I don't myself do this. You would again have to authenticate with an admin username/password if you do download and install from the standard account.
Whichever way you do it, this article may be relevant:
*About file quarantine in Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3662
It includes the following:
If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, the user account that downloaded the file is the only user account that can remove the quarantine attribute to the file. All other user accounts can open the quarantine file, but they will be presented with the quarantine dialog box asking "Are you sure you want to open it?" every time they open the file.
