Cant create folders

I just got an iPad 64g and I cant create new folders. Have tried dragging icons onto each other and also in iTunes on pc, but it just does nothing?
Any ideas? please

Have you tried rebooting the iPad .... or do a hard reset - the hard rest - hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - then let go of the buttons and the iPad will restart.
This wouldn't effect why the folders won't work on the PC but the folders on the iPad may work properly if you try this - no promises but you could try it.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How do I create folders on my email account?

When I open my email account on the Internet it shows all my emails in their respected folders that I created and organized. Unfortunately, when I try to open my account on the desktop email app they provide for us (the postage stamp with the bird) it does not show any of my folders and just has all my emails under ?not junk" and "junk"..... HOW CAN I CREATE FOLDERS (or organize my emails)?!

Hi tigergirlie,
First off, how is your email configured in Mail? It sounds like POP (if you just have one folder) versus IMAP. Is that correct? Are you familiar with how to determine that information? Secondly, who is your email provider? Do you know if they offer IMAP access?
POP will download only the content of your Inbox to your Mail application, you'd then be required to create local folders and manage your email (organize it). IMAP, if you like to work with folders would be the preferred solution here. This way the folders that you see on the web will "sync" with the folders in your Mail application.
Not all free email providers offer IMAP, GMail is the only one to my knowledge, at least of the popular ones. Most ISP emails or work/corporate email providers offer IMAP but you'd need to get the appropriate server settings.

Is there a way to create folders in the pictures app?

Since I got my Playbook I've been very impressed with the camera quality, way better than my phones 1.3. So I've been taking a lot of pictures. I have taken a lot of my car because I'm making a website for it and want a lot of pictures of it, I take some random ones just for the fun of it, and in school my friends take pictures of themselves with it (it blows the ipad 2's camera quality away) I'd like to put them in separate folders in the pictiures app so that way I don't have to go through all of them and if people want to see the pics they took in school they don't have to go through all of the ones of my stuff on there. I know there is automatically a folder for downloaded pictures, and another for wallpaper like if you got a wallpaper app and download pictures from it. All of my pictures I've taken are in the "camera pictures" folder, so is there a way I can create folders in the app and organize them?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you create the folders as a child within the main pictures folder, then they will show up in the app separately. I have many folders with pictures in.
You will need to move the photos manually - they will automatically go in the Camera folder.
Hope that helps.

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads?

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads? I have 23 iPads and I want to have all the folders match for easier access for students.

Here is a possibkle workaround, assuming the iPads are all starting out with the same initial content on them:
Backup that iPad to each computer you will be using. Then restore from the backup (only takes a couple minutes). Then rename the other 22 iPads.

How to make metadata fields required when creating folders

Hello all....
Related issue with SR 3-6472229431 and SR 3-6471130611.
We're using DIS 11.1.6 64-bits (2011_11_29 (rev 9756) 11.1.6.97) in a Windows 7 64-bits workstation (with UCM 11.1.1.5 in a Linux machine). The check-in of images to UCM goes fine.
I'm trying to make some metadata fields required when creating a folder. These fields are required when making a check-in, but not when creating folders.
Folders_g is enabled. DesktopTag too.
EDIT: Patch: 14695303 - WCC 11.1.1.5.0 BUNDLE ( MLR 16 ) NOV 6 2012 applied.
Is it possible?
Thanks for all.

After reading your response and rereading the original question a bit closer, the metadata prompting feature does not apply to creating new folders, only content.
Again, though, I think the focus here is in the wrong place. The metadata applied to a folder is intended to be ultimately applied to the content. You can build global rules that fire on submission of content to check if a field has a value, and throw an error if the value is empty.
If you expect users to create folders (and actually apply any metadata to the actual folder itself), you will be disappointed. Experience shows that users are not interested in that level of detail when creating content, let alone folders. Letting typical users create folders is a bad idea anyway, as they tend to create the same inefficient folder structures they previously created in file shares within Content Server.
If you need to tightly control folder attributes, you'll be better served by locking down the ability to create new folders. Otherwise you're looking at some type of customization. Keep in mind that you won't be able to customize the right click behavior of DIS. Any changes to DIS would have to be an enhancement request.

Howto make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?

Hello there,
as an admin @ school I was wondering how to make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?
- In a 2008domain, created a group "teachers"
- created a folder "teacher data" where all teachers have read/write permissions
ideal,a teacher who make's a folder in "teacher data" should be the only oen who is able to add file's to that folder and dele that folder or files. Other teachers may be able to read the content of the folder.
Is this possible to set up and how?
many thanks.
Nico.

Hi Nico,
You could set the permissions below to resolve the issue:
For the root folder "teacher data": give the full control permission to CREATOR OWNER – "Subfolders and files only" and give the read/write permissions to the group "teachers"– "This folder only".
Best Regards,
Mandy

Runtime error 429, activeX component cant create object while using netbet pro on windows 7 & 8.1 HELP!!!

runtime error 429, activeX component cant create object while using netbet pro
does anyone know what I could do to fix this problem??? netbet pro was't available for a while then it's back but has yet to run

What's netbet pro?
I'd recommend asking questions about third party applications in the vendor's forum, not a Microsoft forum meant for admin scripting.

Need help creating a folder action for creating folders based on filenames.

I want to create a folder action that will monitor a folder and every time a file is added to the folder it will create a directory using the filename (minus the extension) and move the file the that directory

on run {input, parameters} -- create folders from file names and move
set output to {} -- this will be a list of the moved files
repeat with anItem in the input -- step through each item in the input
    set {theContainer, theName, theExtension} to (getTheNames from anItem)
    try
      set destination to (makeNewFolder for theName at theContainer)
      tell application "Finder"
        move anItem to destination
        set the end of the output to the result as alias -- success
      end tell
    on error errorMessage -- duplicate name, permissions, etc
      log errorMessage
      # handle errors if desired - just skip for now
    end try
end repeat
return the output -- pass on the results to following actions
end run
to getTheNames from someItem -- get a container, name, and extension from a file item
tell application "System Events" to tell disk item (someItem as text)
    set theContainer to the path of the container
    set {theName, theExtension} to {name, name extension}
end tell
if theExtension is not "" then
    set theName to text 1 thru -((count theExtension) + 2) of theName -- just the name part
    set theExtension to "." & theExtension
end if
return {theContainer, theName, theExtension}
end getTheNames
to makeNewFolder for theChild at theParent -- make a new child folder at the parent location if it doesn't already exist
set theParent to theParent as text
if theParent begins with "/" then set theParent to theParent as POSIX file as text
try
    return (theParent & theChild) as alias
on error errorMessage -- no folder
    log errorMessage
    tell application "Finder" to make new folder at theParent with properties {name:theChild}
    return the result as alias
end try
end makeNewFolder
This script almost does what I need except for the fact that it screws up on files with periods in them
for example
1.2.3.4.txt
will create the directorys 1, 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1.2.3.4

How do you create folders in your email?

I want to organize my email but I can't figure out how to create folders on my iPhone.

The manual for iPhones running iOS 8 contains the following:
Organize your mail with mailboxes. Tap Edit in the Mailboxes list to create a new one, or to rename or delete one. (Some built-in mailboxes can’t be changed.) There are several smart mailboxes, such as Unread, that show messages from all your accounts. Tap the ones you want to use.
This is on page 58. For the manual itself, visit http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf .
