Creating a folder, within a folder

I've dumped my PC for a Mac, so still a noob!
How can I create a folder, from within a folder using Finder? Every time I do, it creates the folder at the root, and I then have to move the folder to the desired location? I'm obviously missing something!
Thanks

Creating a Folder Within Form or Document Library & Display the name not in the name column.

I have created a form library that will used to create folders within that. The folder creation is done using an InfoPath Form that has been uploaded to the Form Library. When the new folder was created the name will be displayed at the Name column within
the Form Library. I want to change that to another column like documents or suchlike.
Can it be done using InfoPath 2010 VSTA C# or not? If their are other options available please could you try to inform me!
Thank You,

Hi,
If you want to show the name of folder in another column, a workaround is that you can create an extra column, then create a SharePoint Designer workflow to set the value of
this column with the name of folder.
Here is a link about Create Workflow using SharePoint Designer and set field value for your reference:

It's recommended that you post a single question in a single thread which will make it easier to be discussed by others.

Creating a folder for wallpaper on the phone?

Hey guys,
As per the topic really, how do I create a folder on the phone for my wallpaper? I can't see an option in explorer to add a new folder
Thanks

You're welcome.
You won't lose anything since all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone should remain on your computer.
Place all the existing photos that have already been transferred to your iPhone in a named folder or place these photos in multiple named folders as needed. Place the folder of the photos or multiple folders of the photos that you want transferred to your iPhone in the parent folder as already provided and select this parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. All named folders of photos within this parent folder will be transferred to your iPhone as separate named albums.
To add additional photos later, create a folder for the new photos and place the new folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync. To remove a photo from your iPhone, remove the photo from the named folder within the parent folder followed by a sync. To remove an entire album or folder of photos from your iPhone, move the named folder of photos outside of the parent folder followed by a sync.

You've asked this question before, and so far have shown nothing to indicate that you've made any attempt to solve the problem by using the tools available to you. Like the functions palette. Or the search tool, since this question has been asked many times before.
Have you looked in the File I/O palette? There's the New Directory function for creating directories. There the File/Directory Info function that can be used to check if the folder exists (call the function, and if you get error 7 you know the folder doesn't exist). You can also use List Directory on the parent directory.
Make an effort.

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

Library contain ALL photos. This is the way it is from within iPhoto as files are actually structured into 'Roll' folders on disk. See <~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/...> I too struggled on the very same issue as you... this is actually frustrating to say the least (bad first steps in..) but I have found a clever way around: Say hello to Smart Albums!
Next time you import a roll into iPhoto make use of the "Roll Name" field. Second, select New Smart Album from File menu, give it a meaningful and unique name then Match the following conditions: Roll, Contain, "Roll Name" you gave just before import from camera. This will generate an album featuring only this one roll.
In short:
First, give the Roll a name before you hit "import" button.
(see link 1 bellow)
Second, create a new Smart Album: Roll, Contain, <"
(see link 2 bellow)
Remember Library will always contain ALL your Photos. This is the master album.

Can't create a folder on a shared Mac

I'm using my mid-2010 iMac with OS 10.9.1, logged in with my username. I'm connected via sharing to my wife's 2006 MacBook Pro running 10.6.8, logged in with her username.
I can connect to the MBP fine. I can see folders on it, and open them. What I can't do is create a folder on the MBP from the iMac. The first thing that comes up when I try is my permission screen with my user name, with a message that I'm changing the Finder. I put in my password, and the next popup is a message saying that I don't have privileges to create the folder. I have Read & Write permissions for me set on the MacBook Pro all the way from the top level internal drivel down to the level I'm trying to create a folder in. I'm trying to create a folder within the Music folder on the MBP.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

I figured it out. It's odd though. It was allowing me to see and operate the folders on the MBP using an older username from one of my prior OSs. My new Mavericks username is different than whet the permissions on the MBP were set to. Once I set up permissions on the MBP using the username that appears on my iMac Mavericks' in the User folder, it allowed me to create the folder. Strange though that it would let me connect and share without the new username.
NOT SOLVED. . It still doesnt work. I mistakenly created the folder in my own User Music folder on the iMac by mistake

Unable to properly create new folder at the root level of exchange account

Using the latest version of Mail in OS 10.6 with an exchange server. Creating a subfolder within existing folders works perfectly. However, if I try to create a new folder at the very first level of hierarchy (directly under the inbox, not within an existing folder) it will not be created in the same location as my other folders. What will happen is, the folder will be created at the very bottom of all of my mail folders in an area that is labeled with the name of my exchange mailbox. This will be an area that only has folders that I created from within Mail on the Exchange server. All other exchange folder will be seen in the "Mailboxes" area directly underneath the exchange inbox.
FYI if I go into my exchange mailbox in a web browser and create a new folder directly underneath the inbox and then sync Mail for OS X, the folder will appear in the appropriate area. The issue only occurs when creating a new folder under the Inbox from within Mail.
Any solution here? My office is thinking of switching more computers from windows to mac, but we all run on Exchange and a glaring bug like this would make me think twice about rolling over to Mac for our office.

Finder not working properly, randomly creates a folder called "Name"

Hello,
Finder has all of a sudden started to cause some really odd and sporadic file/folder navigation issues. Whenever I try to access a directory, Finder creates a folder called Name, makes random folders within the directory disappear, or both. It's odd because as soon as I either log out or restart, the problem subsides, but then it comes back -- for no apparent reason. I've taken a look at all of the logs, repaired permissions, verified disks, and dumped the Finder .plist files, but still no remedy. FWIW, this all started happening after updating to 10.7.4.
Someone else posted a very similar thread on this matter, so I know I'm not losing my mind. Is anyone else has the same problem?

Demo 92,
I know it has been awhile but did you get any help or find a solution for this? Also, please link the threads you wrote about. I am having this issue as well.

How to delete pic and docu from iPad desktop

This photo and document on your iPad's home screen came from where?
I wasn't aware this was possible.
You can create a folder for apps by dragging an app on top of another app. A folder will be created automatically along with the name for the folder based on the apps you are placing in the folder, or you can manually enter whatever you want to name the folder. You can follow this by dragging similar or like apps within the same folder.

Creating new folder ripple effect in other folders

I was in the RoboHelp 7 Project Manager pod. The HTML Files (Topics) folder was highlighted. I right-clicked and selected New > Folder.
I named the new folder Assets and pressed Enter to create the folder. All on its own, RH created an Assets folder under the Images, Multimedia, Style Sheets, and Baggage Files folders.
Not only that, but every folder I created under the Assets folder was also duplicated under the Images, Multimedia, Style Sheets, and Baggage Files folders. AND, if I try then to delete one of those folders, either a.) the Delete option is not available on the right-click menu or b.) When it is available and I select it, ALL instances of the folder are deleted.
Why did RH create multiple Assets folders and why can't I create a single folder under only the HTML Files (Topics) folder?

Hi there
This is perfectly normal. You need to understand that the Project Manager is simply RoboHelp's way of organizing the different project assets. Think of it as perhaps "filters" that are only showing you files that are used. For example, when you look at the files and folders of the project in Windows Explorer, you will never see a folder named "Baggage Files" or "Style Sheets". And if you create a folder, even though you see it in Baggage Files, Images, Cascading Style Sheets and HTML Topics, it's only on your hard drive once.
Hopefully this helps... Rick
