Cant copyépaste a file in the right folder

I am new in MAC but am confused. When I copy a file from a HD to another specifying a folder and sub-folder in that folder, in reality the file is not stored in that sub-folder. It goes right to the root directly of the HD. What have I done wrong to make this happen?
When using Explorer in Windows, I never had this problem. May be there is some precaution to take when doing it in MAC ??
Can someone advise?

Hello Andreas thanks for you interest
I must say that I work in very restricted client: I'm not administrator but simple user on my desktop (Win XP SP3) and there are a lots of settings and services that I don't know and I can not change or stop.
I work on different environment: Development, QA, Production of a ERP also there are four release for year and "2 year support", that means 24 "similar worlds". For every "worlds": db schema, password, library, form folders and everything you could imagine are different.
For this reason when I open a form I need to change a lots of things so the system administrator made a batch file to start Form Builder with right environment settings but the form folder was not right when open file from Form Builder
I hope that you understand me and my English (I'm Italian)
Ciao

Audition crashes when I copy paste a file in the multitrack

Audition crashes when I copy paste a file in the multitrack. it says "audition has encountered a fatal error and needs to shut down"

yeah, sorry. Mac OSX 10.8.3
2.7 ghz intel core i5
8 gb RAM
Audition cs6
All the files I'm working with are mono wav files. As I kept trying to do other things I realized the program is crashing also when I try to export the mix.
Since this started happening last week I've tried reinstalling the software twice but that hasn't worked. Any help would be great. I don't want to have to spend 200 bucks for logic right now, but I am kind of in a rush to get this project done. I can also copy the crash report over here if neccesary.
Thank you!

Open file in the right folder...

Hello
I don't understand why when I run form builder and try to open file, don't open file in start folder.
example if I run from command line
c:\frmld.exe
sometimes when I open file, the open folder is "c:\" but sometimes is "c:\something else"
Thanks

My transcend HD is on read only mode I guess. What to do? I dont have a windows computer to check and I need to create the back up right now..

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like the external disk is formatted in NTFS, a format that OS X can't write in. The solution is to format the external drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" (if you are going to get a Mac), or "MS-DOS (FAT)" (if you are going to get a PC) as Format in Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
Then, you will be able to copy the files you need to the external drive. Note that "MS-DOS (FAT)" doesn't support files bigger than 4 GB.

Bridge copy/paste renames files?

I've noticed that if I copy and paste a file in Bridge CS5 - the resulting new file has its name converted to all lowercase. As we use specific job numbers to name our files, this is most inconvenient behavior. What is going on? Am I doing something wrong?

Tai Lao,
I'm not convinced that this "goes through RAM" or in particular, though the clipboard…
Thank you, Richard Wagner. That's an interesting theory for the Bridge engineers to deny or confirm, indeed. It's still a workflow I would never want to adopt.
You really don't need the engineers. If you select the root of one filename in Bridge and copy (command-C), then switch to the Finder and Show Clipboard, you will see the copied text of the filename. On the other hand, if you select one or more files (not just the filename) and do the same, you will see that the clipboard is not overwritten. You cannot, for example, "copy and paste" a file to the desktop or to another application. Internally, Bridge understands the context of what the user is trying to do and invokes the appropriate code. File copies and especially moves would be extremely inefficient if Bridge had to open each file and load it into RAM, then write the file to the destination. It would also have to track and do the same for XMP files, etc. Without question Bridge is "smart enough" to use file-based system calls for file-based operations. I selected 100 files and did "copy/paste" and the time takes was identical to "duplicate files" and it's essentially identical to the same operation in the finder.
Although this is not a workflow that I use, I don't see anything inherently "wrong" with it. Just another way to accomplish the same thing.

I want restore these files to the right place

Hello
have problem
have wiped these files of the folder encoding (System/Library/coreservices/Encodings/):
libArabicConverter.dylib
libCyrillicConverter.dylib
libGreekConverter.dylib
libHebrewConverter.dylib
libJapaneseConverter.dylib
libKoreanConverter.dylib
libLatin2Converter.dylib
libLatin5Converter.dylib
libLatinSuppConverter.dylib
libSimplifiedChineseConverter.dylib
libSymbolConverter.dylib
libThaiConverter.dylib
libTraditionalChineseConverter.dylib
libVietnameseConverter.dylib
And when it prepared the files from the trash folder،، And put it in a folder encoding the appeared following message :
(Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
Error code-8062)
My question now is how re-files to folder?

Hi anas
I forgot to tell you something important
CEMETERY currently can not uninstall what her income!!
do not know what is the cause of it!
That does not make a lot of sense. Is that a Google translation from Arabic?
Anyway it may be unrelated to your stuck files so we shall proceed regardless.
If entered the trash I can watch those files and can to move it to my desktop but can not lay it down in folder encoding.
OK, well that's good. You may as well take them out of the trash and put them elsewhere for the time being, on your Desktop.
It may be the problem is that file or folder permissions have been altered.
So try this.
1. Open Disk Utility (found in Applications/Utilities) and run Repair Permissions.
After that, see if you can move one of the files into the folder as before, by supplying your Admin password when asked to authenticate.
If you still get that error,
2. Restart in Safemode. This will do a directory check.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455?viewlocale=en_US
Restart again this time, normally.
3. If after trying to move it again, you still get that error, you may have to use Terminal to move them. It will consist of four parts separated by a space.
Make room so you can see those files, eg libArabicConverter.dylib
Open Terminal (found in Applications/Utilities) and type
sudo mv
and press the space bar once after mv.
Drag the file libArabicConverter.dylib into the Terminal window and press the space bar once.
Copy and paste into the Terminal window the address /System/Library/Coreservices/Encodings/
what you are doing is 1. with root permissions 2. move 3. a file 4. to this folder.
Press return and type in your Admin password, press return again.
With luck that file should now be back where it belongs.
Repeat for the others.
When finished run Repair Permissions again as you did before, even though this last step is probably not necessary.

Great tip Stephen!!
I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.
Thanks.

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

If you just did upgrade Lion, give it some time. I recall having similar problems and some articles mention heavy background work after install - such as re-indexing for Spotlight etc. I couldn't even copy from folder to folder or e.g. iphoto to folder on the same disk. Went away after a day or two though.
I do however still have a problem with AFP access to one of the lion machines - kills it's network adaptors rather quickly. No luck solving this so far :|

Download list button in upper right corner hinds under "Reader" button? Unable to find down loaded file in the download folder afterward?

The Download list button in upper right corner of screen hides under "Reader" button? Does not show down loaded(?) file in the download folder afterward?
Trying to run a brokerage firm streaming quote app with java. Wondering if I may have deactivated the Download list button some how?

Hey Sgt.Rics,
It sounds like you're experiencing some unexpected behavior in Safari, specifically the window layout blocking the Downloads button. I would check and make sure no third-party add-ons are causing the issue:

Hi Varun,
do you want to copy or move the files??
Also can you explain the time when this movement should happen? this gives a little insight on the problem and also some optimum solutions can be suggested

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
