Can't rename 'new folder'

Dear community,
in Safari (OS X Yosemite) I found a 'feature' that's not logical from my perspective: When I want to save a file (e.g. a PDF), I right-click the link and klick 'Save file under...'. Then a window opens where I can specify the path where I want to store the file. Because I want to save the file in a new folder, I right-click in the file/folder list and choose 'new folder'. The new folder is created now but I can't change it's name. I think this is not correct.
But when I click on 'new folder' on the left bottom of that windows I can specify a name for that newly created folder. I don't think that these two different behaviors are programmed with intent but by mistake. Am I wrong?
Thanks for your ideas.
Thilo

You are absolutely right

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!

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*

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.

Rename, New folder action using Drive CMIS connector

I am trying to work on "Rename" and "New Folder" actions from Drive. To give more details - when I connect to our DAM using Drive, the DAM gets mounted as a network drive and can be accessed from Windows Explorer. I was told on one of the Adobe forums thread that Drive uses the Windows in-built context menus to initiate these actions.
Refer: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3807568#3807568
But when I try "New Folder" menu, Explorer gives me "Access denied" or "You need permission" kind of error. On "Rename" I get similar error. I believe both these errors are due to the fact that I am trying to modify certain things on a network drive. But then what would be the work around so that I can perform these actions on a CMIS server using Drive?
We are adding CMIS layer on top of our DAM so that it will work as a CMIS server. For connection with Drive, we use the default CMIS connector that comes with it.

Can't rename a folder in Windows 7 - receive error message

When trying to rename a folder in Windows 7, I get a "Folder In Use" message saying that the folder or a file in it is open in another program. This is untrue as I don't have any other programs open. I even rebooted the computer and tried again
and it gave me the same message. This has occurred more than once and it's beginning to drive me crazy. Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

Hi,
Please use the
Process Explorer to check which process keeps your file in use.
In addition, you can try to rename the folder in
Safe Mode to see the result.
For more reference,

Hope this helps

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.

Why can't a new folder be created within my user home directory when using 'Save As' in Mountain Lion?

Hi,
So I want to create a new folder within my main user home directory (not the root directory) just for my developer-related files? I can do this from Finder, although it does prompt me for my password to do so. However, when using 'Save As' from any app, the 'New Folder' button is greyed out when I select my user home directory. So I have to create the folder in Finder then Save As.
Is this normal behavior? Is OSX discouraging me from adding things to my user home directory by making it less convenient? Is there a good reason it would be discouraging me from creating new folders there? If not, is there a setting that I can change to allow the creation of new folders from the Save As prompt?
Thanks for your help,
B

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Can't rename a folder in the project library

Can't Rename a Folder

Hello...
We have a folder on just about everyone's workstation that cannot be renamed unless the workstation is loaded in Safe Mode...it always says it is in use by another program and it really isn't...the folder itself is updated or checked for updates via a global
login script...could it be that because the script is ran on each login that it is still holding on to the folder? If so, anything we can do in the script to let go of the permissions?
If that's not it, any other suggestions?
Here is the login script:
\\DOMAINNAME\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s DOMAINNAME
This even happens with workstatiosn that don't even have the app installed that would use this folder.
Thanks!
Brian

More notes...when logging in as local administrator, we CAN do the rename...when logging in with another user ID and WITHOUT the login script, we can't rename it...this may go back to another problem (and forum) post I have with Active Director being a mess...

Can't rename new untitled folders

I've never run into this problem that i can remember. I just went to create a new folder in my "applications" folder for a new browser I downloaded, and all of a sudden, i no longer "have sufficient access priviledges" to change the folder's name, and if i go to put a new folder or anything else into the Apps folder, I now have to "authenticate" with my password. What is this crap? I've never had to problems like this with my Applications folder before, so what happened?
Anyone else run into this? Not even repairing permissions or zapping the PRAM several times clear this up.

Glad you found a solution. Running the disk utility and verifying permissions doesn't work in most of the posts I've read about the topic.
Corrupted drives are just one of those features that Apple continues to use. I go through external terabyte drives like toilet paper (or diamonds depending on your income level) archiving projects. I just had a drive I was working with earlier today suddenly stop allowing my to create folders etc. I've had it happen about 5 times or more now on various OSx versions with various brands of hard drives. Seems to happen somewhat randomly but could have to do with other devices being plugged into your system at the same time and Mac can't handle it- corrupts the drive (today I plugged a camera into my computer via USB). The only solution I've found is to copy the data, reformat the drive, and copy the data back onto the drive. I appreciate user's optimistic view of Apple computers. It makes me want to believe that some of the other things that suck in life are actually amazing opportunities- and sometimes they are.

Can't create new folder in home folder when saving files

In gnome, when I want to save any file in my home folder, and I want to create a new folder in my own home. The new folder appeares for several minutes and then disappears.
If I create new folder in other directory. There is no such problem.
Also I can create new folder in my own home directory in nautilus or by mkdir.
any one can help me.....
Thanks very much....

LOOOOOONG pauses in Windows Explorer with file copy, rename, new folder, etc.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit pro and I am experiencing horribly long pauses in Windows Explorer on very simple file operations, such as renaming a file, copying a file, creating a new folder, etc. Here is an example:
1. Open a folder in windows explorer, e.g. My Documents
2. Select a file
3. Hit F2 and enter a new name for the file, then hit ENTER to save the name
4. Windows Explorer now shows the wait cursor and becomes completely unresponsive, sometimes for MINUTES.
This is crazy. I read somewhere it may be due to shell extensions -- another post specifically called out MagicDisc, but I uninstalled that and still have the problem. After a fresh reboot the problem usually is not there immediately, but always comes back eventually.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Lex3001,
I would like to confirm what are the results in Safe Mode and Clean Boot?
I also would like to suggest you run ShellExView again and disable some shell extensions to check the issue.
Run ShellExView
=================
1. Launch ShellExView again and scan the computer.
2. Press "Ctrl" on the keyboard and click all items which are marked in pink in the list.
3. Choose "File" then "Disable Selected Items".
4. Quit and restart the computer to check the Windows Explorer issue again.
Does it work?
In addition, I also would like to suggest you create a new user account to check the result

Can't rename new page

I have a problem with Muse CC and 2014. When I'm trying to rename new page from Untitled to something else, Muse tells me that an error has occurred: menuItemBox U4650 has no associated page! I tried to make a new site in Muse CC and 2014, the same bug.

Could you please send us your .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread? We'll repair and return it. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. Thanks.
FWIW, the bug that caused this error within your file has been fixed for the release of Muse.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
