Can't save bookmarks into folders. Went through help database. Nothing helped. Firefox v.3.6.21

Suddenly I can't anymore save bookmarks into bookmark folders I have made. The saving Window does not open. Saving at the end of the bookmark list (main folder) is ok. I looked through all help database and did all the deeds advised to do. Did not help in this case. The Firefox is v. 3.6.21 (Finnish translation).
Tried to repair the Firefox install (installed it again) but didn't help either.
I also thought to remove the browser totally and reinstall then again. For that I tried to import my bookmarks into Internet Explorer (Import...) but IE crashed (CTD). I have done this import before succesfully. Perhaps there is something really wrong with my Firefox?
I'd really not like to save my "millions" of bookmarks and their folders one by one again if there is no other solution than reinstall the Firefox.
I installed XMarks for that purpose but don't know if I can trust it.

Is it possible there is a search set in the Browser for the project with missing images? When I set 1 project to view only 5 starts, all my images will not appear as expected in the Browser since I have not ratings, but selecting the Folder level will display all of them. Check that.

Can't save images into folders, Get info not detailing either.

Hi,
I'm new to Macs having just moved over 3 months ago from PC's and I'm having trouble with saving images and getting system information. When I click on Go > Utilities > then click the down arrow next to the small cog icon I can easily see my system information starting with Spotlight Comments, General, More Info, Name and Extension, Preview, Sharing and Permissions (which I've set to Read & Write for MartinForbes (Me), staff and everyone).
However when I try Go > Utilities > Martin's iMac > and click on the same down arrow all I get is General, and Preview - and that is it it even though it worked before.
Another thing is happening as well. When I'm trying to save an image from the internet into a specific folder the 'Save' button get greyed out, but it will only work in the most recent folders where I don't want this file to go. To put it into the folder I want , I have to save it into a folder that I DON'T want, then copy and the locate the intended folder and paste it the folder that I had intended. This also is happening when I save a zip file in the 'Downloads' section and try to create a folder in say, my 'Widgets' folder where I can now no longer click on 'New Folder' as this too has been greyed out. I can see that the format after I've right clicked and selected 'Save Image As' is selected as 'Preview Document* and not 'All Files.
Can someone shed some light on what I need to do to get this working please?

When you save an image, how can the browser possibly intuit where you want to save it?
You need to tell it where to save it. To do this just treat it as any Finder window and navigate to the desired folder. But you need to expand the dialogue to allow you click to the place you want to go as per a Finder window.
Then you can navigate to where you want it to be saved, and that position will become the default for next time until it is changed.
As for changing permission and the like, normally that is not required unless you have a permission problem you are trying to fix. Usually your Mac has that already worked out for you.

Can't put bookmarks into folders or create folders

When I bookmark a page it does not give me the option to put it into a folder or to create a folder most of the time. And if it does then when I try to put it into a folder the whole "bookmark option" disappears.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

Can't save bookmarks since last OS update

I can't save bookmarks since the last OS update. When I do, I get the Spinning Beach Ball of Death and the app crashes. Any ideas?

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 and start typing the name.
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. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (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.

Cannot save files into folders or attach files in folders since installing Maverics

Since installing Mavericks, I have been having trouble saving files (notably, Mail attachments) into the folder I want and also opening files in folders.
What I see, when I try to save a file into a folder that is one of several inside another folder, is a list of the folder names, in an unfamiliar format, with the contents of each folder also shown. (Makes for VERY slow scrolling.)
I cannot select a folder into which to save as the file. (I can, usually, save it into the outer folder and then move it afterwards or save it onto the desktop or into the downloads folder and then move it.)
Also, when I attempt to attach a file to a Mail message, I again run into difficulties. Sometimes I cannot select a file in a folder. (It will let me select the whole folder.) Sometimes it is ok if I move the file to the desktop first. Just now, with the screenshot above, I saved it onto the desktop but could not select it to upload it until I moved it into a folder.
What's up?
(BTW, so far, this is happening only on my min, not on my MacBook.)

How do i put divide my bookmarks into folders ?

I would like to divide my bookmarks into folders. I need help with this problem,
Than You Charles Beale

You can organize bookmarks into folders using the sidebar or the library. (Neither is a very obvious name!)

I recently start using Firefox panorama. If I create a tab group that contains, for example, my favorite stack exchange websites, can I save ("bookmark") this tab group for easy access if I start a new session?

You can bookmark all those tabs and place them in a folder.
* "Bookmark This Page" and "Bookmark All Tabs" no longer show in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

I can't save Logic Projects/Files since updating to Lion. Help?!

I can't save Logic Projects/Files since updating to Lion. Help?!

I just had the same problem, after working on a project for a couple of hours and thinking it was saved, I go back to work on it some more and all the work I had done was not there. This is totally frustrating. I posted here as well and haven't had any responses. Good luck to you.

I have been organizing my bookmarks into folders. There are a bunch of bookmarks that appear on the Bookmarks Menu that do not appear when I used the Organize Bookmarks option. Therefore I can't organize them. How do I get at them and move them to folders

I used Organize Bookmarks to put some bookmarks in folders. When I had done all the bookmarks that appeared outside of folders in the Organize Bookmarks window, I closed it and looked at my bookmarks menu. Under my folders were some other bookmarks that I hadn't seen in Organize Bookmarks and when I used it again, they still weren't visible. Therefore, I couldn't move them into folders.

Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio

I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
Thanks,
Lisa

I tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
Thanks,
Lisa

Can't drag playlists into folders anymore.

I am using iTunes 10.4. Have approx. 25,850 songs organized into folders and sub-folders. I have organized this way for years. Today, I am unable to drag any playlist into any folder. What happened?

I use Wacom Intuos3 and have just had the same issue. All my playlists have disappeared and I can no longer drag and drop tunes. Also discovered it's a Wacom/Apple issue - but I have no idea why it has happened all of a sudden. Have posted a separate question.
Hope all works out for you soon - I thought playlists for 7,000+ tunes was a lot...

Can't move files into folders more than one time.

I'm having a strange problem. If I try and drag a file into a folder then it will allow me to do that, but only once. If I try to drag another file into the same folder then it is locked. I can drag it into a different folder, but the same thing happens, I can move a file into the new folder but not a 2nd file, but it is locked. I have to restart to "unlock" these folders, but the same things happens over and over again. I can move a single file into a folder, but after that it locks up and I have to restart.
Any ideas why this is happening? It only happens in bridge, I'm able to move files freely in Finder.
Thanks!

I can't find a permission setting that would only allow a single file to be moved to a folder
Don't know if you already tried but use a check and repair permissions on your Mac using either Apple Disk Utility (applications / utilities) or a third party like Cocktail.
If still the same happens restart bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences.
When the problem still exist please provide more details about OS and Bridge versions as well as computer specs.
