Creating untrashable folders

Some of our folders at work keep being trashed by accident. Is there a way to create a folder that is editable by all, but requires admin conformation on trashing?
thanx

Create a parent folder to contain the folders you want to protect, then lock the parent folder (Get Info, Command-I). You will still be able to add and delete files in the contained folder, but you can't delete or rename the folders. You can drag the folders to the sidebar, or right side of the dock, for easier access.

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

Applescript for creating job folders

having trouble with an applescript. I'm trying to create an applescript that will create a job folder for me with job number and job name in which I can include folders and subfolders.
I found this script by searching google and it's pretty much what I need (thank you to who ever might have created it). I altered the folder names to what I need, and it seems to work for the most part but throws an error at the end that says : Finder got an error: Can't make "drive:path" into type item
however it still makes everything i need. I would just like to get rid of the error.
the script editor highlights the line of text that's having issues for me, but since i barely knew what I was doing in the first place I don't know how or what to change.
if someone could help me that would be great. here is the code.
set thepath to {"drive:path"}
set JobName to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Name:" default answer "Job Name")
set incomingDate to (current date)
set numYear to year of incomingDate as number
set textYear to text -2 through -1 of (numYear as string)
set JobNum to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Number:" default answer {textYear & "xxx"})
set JobNumName to JobNum & "_" & JobName
set newsublist to {{"Builds", {"versions"}}, {"Links"}, {"Fonts"}, {"Proofs"}}
tell application "Finder"
set baseFolder to make new folder with properties {name:JobNumName}
repeat with i from 1 to count newsublist
try
set {tier2, t2Subs} to {item 1, item 2's items} of item i of newsublist
set tier2Folder to make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:(tier2)}
repeat with tier3 in t2Subs
make new folder at tier2Folder with properties {name:(tier3)}
end repeat
on error
make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:(item 1 of item i of newsublist)}
end try
end repeat
activate
open thepath
end tell

There are a few differences with Leopard that still get me from time to time. Tiger's AppleScript doesn't like path to desktop, so instead use the statement:
set ThePath to (get path to desktop folder)
The other thing I hadn't noticed before is if there is an error, the script just stops instead of throwing up a dialog. If you are doing something like using an illegal file name or trying to create a folder in a location that you don't have permissions, then unless the MakeFolderStructure statement is in a try statement it will fail silently. Adding an error display will at least tell you if there is an error, so a script that works in Tiger (as well as Leopard) is:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
-- make a folder structure at the currently selected Finder item
tell application "Finder" to try -- get the current selection
set ThePath to the first item of (get selection)
if the last character of (ThePath as text) is not ":" then -- a file
set ThePath to the container of ThePath
end if
on error -- default to the desktop
set ThePath to (get path to desktop folder)
end try
set JobName to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Name:" default answer "Job Name")
set textYear to text -2 through -1 of ((current date)'s year as text)
set JobNum to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Number:" default answer {textYear & "xxx"})
set JobNumName to JobNum & "_" & JobName
try
MakeFolderStructure out of {JobNumName, {"Builds", {"versions"}, "Links", "Fonts", "Proofs"}} at ThePath
on error ErrorMessage number ErrorNumber -- oops
activate me
display alert "Error " & ErrorNumber message ErrorMessage
end try
to MakeFolderStructure out of SomeItem at SomeFolder
make the folder structure defined in SomeItem at SomeFolder
SomeList defines the structure:
nested list items create folders in the previous text item - {"A", {"B", {"C"}}} = /A/B/C
empty text items will create untitled folders
parameters - SomeItem [mixed]: the folder structure
SomeFolder [alias]: the destination folder
returns nothing
set ParentFolder to SomeFolder
if class of SomeItem is list then
repeat with AnItem in SomeItem
if class of AnItem is list then -- add subfolder(s)
MakeFolderStructure out of AnItem at SomeFolder
else -- add a new child folder at the current parent
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at ParentFolder with properties {name:AnItem}
set SomeFolder to the result as alias
end if
end repeat
else -- add a new (potential) parent folder
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at SomeFolder with properties {name:AnItem}
set ParentFolder to the result as alias
end if
end MakeFolderStructure</pre>

Creating new folders in Mail

Greetings..
How does one create new folders under the inbox for organizing purposes? I was expecting to be able to create a "new folder" within any other folder, but all I can find is smart folders, and some other strange option which results in this new folder under the heading "On My Mac"...strange...what's this "On My Mac" all about? Why can't I just create a new folder under my inbox, and organize the way I see fit? This is really odd..

You can accomplish this by creating a new mailbox ( *plus sign* in the bottom left corner of the main window). I think this should say folder, but I didn't make this choice. It acts like a folder. Just click and drag emails from your inbox to these other mailboxes you created. The "On My Mac" just refers to where the emails get stored (/Users/yourshortname/Library/Mail)
D.
Edit: the funny thing is the icon for the new mailboxes is a folder, go figure.

Is there any way to enable rSAP, use the iPhone as a modem, create sms folders, and show the day's calender on the home screen?

Hi folks
Had iPhone for a while and generally happy, but it seems I still need to keep my old nokia E72 because I cannot seem to use the iPhone as a modem, nor does it support rSAP.
Also, while I like the threaded sms view, I'd also like the option to create sms folders to stash away my banking sms info, all of which comes from different numbers, and filled the sms inbox with hundreds of messages.
Lastly, having the meeting for the day diplayed somewhere on the home screen would be great if there were a way to do it. Yes, I can go into calender easy enough, but unless I develop the habit of checking it all the time, I often forget about a meeting whereas on the old nokia, it was always displayed.
What gives with the lack of flash support? Maybe ol Steve dislikes adobe, but it seems like a serious lack to me. Even the old nokia has some flash support.
Given that, I must say I love the seperate calenders and contacts. It's great to be able to keep home contacts seperate from work ones, but still have them on the same phone. Email is great two - full html support seems like a given but it works really well.

rSAP has largely been supplanted by ABAP, which the iPhone supports. Most modern smartphones, including the iPhone do NOT store any information on the SIM.
SMS inboxes. Not much to say. I've never had a desire to do this. I understand it could be useful, but it's unlikely to change.
As for meetings on the home screen... Wait for iOS 5
Flash: it's not JUST that Steve doesn't like flash. Adobe has failed to produce a workable version of Flash for iOS. Blame has to go to both sides. I say good riddance to it.

HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

How to create new folders on iCloud Drive from iOS or with document picker?

Recently I wanted to share several files from my iWorks suite with my colleagues. I do not want them to edit these files, instead I made templates in Numbers for easier management of hours worked. Everyone could download their copy and keep a track of their hours themselves. The problem is, not everyone has an Apple product.
Unfortunately, iOS does not support native browsing of iCloud Drive (except the document picker, which, to me, isn't helpful at all), the only way I know of - to create a new folder - is to open iCloud.com in Safari, request the desktop site and make a new folder from there.
Is there another way of creating new folders, preferably an official app from Apple or from within an iWorks app or the document picker that I do not know of? Or is this actually a missing feature?
Also, if Apple could make an app similar to Microsoft OneDrive, that would be great.

Yes, there is a way. Here is the workaround. You can add notes folders directly with your iPad or iPhone.

How to create the folders in UCM

Hi All,
I am new to UCM,i have one issue ?
i need to create 2 folders in ucm.
one folder can access all the users (public) and they have read permission
second folder can access only few users depending on security group.
can you provide your inputs on this issue

you shouldn't need to assign folders to users. Once the contribution folders are created and defined (e.g. metadata and security established) then users will be able to see them based on their existing security authorization (e.g. roles). While you can use ACLs for this you should only do so in lock down scenarios rather than in all scenarios.

I cannot create a new subfolder in one of my mail accounts. (All of my other accounts/inboxes I can create new folders)

> The option to create a new folder is available, however when I click create, no new folder is created.
> I have 5 separate email accounts I am running, it is only 1 specific account which I can't create new folders for.
> I used to be able to create new folders for the account in question.
> It is definitely not a case of my inbox not being expanded.
> I have tried running in safe mode with addons disabled and toolbars reset, but it still doesn't work.
> I opened up the subscribe box, and the folders do not appear there to be subscribed too - which leads me to believe they aren't being created in the first place.
Please help - I have run out of ideas of what to do or try. Thank you so much in advance.

Thanks for you response.
1. Account Type is IMAP.
2. The email account is hosted through my hosting package with domains.co.za. What details do your require?

I can no longer create new folders in Windows 7; could this problem be a result of recently reinstalling Firefox?

I'm using Windows 7 Home premium on an HP Pavilion laptop. Maybe two weeks ago, I stopped being able to create new folders in the Windows Explorer box; I click the "New Folder" button, and nothing happens: no error message, nothing. Around two weeks ago, I also reinstalled Firefox to get rid of some adware virus (success: the adware is gone!). I do not recall the exact timing on when I did the reinstall and when I stopped being able to create new folders, but I'm wondering if the folder problem could be related to the re-install. And if so, what can I do about it?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

Hello FJasmine, no, it is not related the firefox update with that.

Can't create new folders

One day, just randomly my laptop stopped letting me create new folders. when i right click and go to "new" the option is simply not there, and when i open windows explorer and click new folder, nothing happens. I have to copy a folder, delete its contents, and rename it every time i wish to create a new folder. I have made no major changes to my computer; the only things I have done is download music from itunes, and a few new video games. I cannot find anywhere that it could be.
Also, I might add I use Comodo firewall, wich not only blocks things from acessing the internet, but from files acessing other files, registry, etc. I didn't know if this could be affecting it. When i instal something new I have to allow it anywhere from 3-8 times for each different thing. I've had it for a few weeks now, and noticed no problem with my laptop because of it other than constantly having it allow things when i first open them.
I have tried system recovery and ran a virus scan with avast and registry mechanic, and none of these have fixed it. The only thing i found online was a guy telling me ot download his program and install it to my registry (however, i did not trust this, because i could not find information of the name of the file he told me to install anywhere else, so i figured it would do more harm than good)

Satellite A665-S5170
I'll assume you're talking about Windows Explorer. If the problem is elsewhere, it's a different story.
The problem just started today.
With a little luck, a System Restore will fix that registry problem.
   What is System Restore?
Otherwise, open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to this key.
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New
In the right pane, look at the data for the value (Default). It should be this.
   {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}
If not, attach a picture of what you see (as I have).

Creating .app folders in other operating systems?

I'm working on a cross-platform game and am hoping to create an OS X port of it. I don't have access to a mac, and so am unable to use the xcode tool for creating .app folders. Are there any tools for creating .app folders on other operating systems? I'd prefer Linux, but can also use windows if required.
Thanks
Nathaniel

Well, .app bundles are specific to Cocoa and Carbon applications... The closest way to make such applications is to use GNUStep (which is an open Cocoa) but it means to rebuild the whole app to make it work with Cocoa/GNUStep...
However, application that are compatible with Mac OS X are not necessarily in .app bundles. Bundles are used for a specific purpose which gather files that the app should have really close, like its interface files (nib) that is used only with Cocoa or Carbon. If your app is neither Carbon nor Cocoa, there's no use in creating a .app bundle it doesn't even exist. And moreover, Xcode (or Project Builder on GNUStep) is the only app that creates .app bundles.
