[Desktop][Browse] Move several playlists to a folder

Hi, it would be great if you could develop the means to move several playlists into a folder, by pressing control and then clicking on a bunch of playlists to move them all together to a new folder. This will allow people like me who like to create playlists daily to organize and reorganize them better

Is it possible to move Multiple playlists into a Folder at once?

I have hundreds upon hundreds of playlists dating back years. As a non forward thinker I've created most of the in the 'root' of the Music Library.
I'm attempting to organize into Playlist Folders & the one at a time drag n drop is a little tedious. Any way to select/move multiple playlists at once?
Thanks in advance!

You can't select multiple playlists. It should be possible to move them into or between playlist folders by way of a script, but I suspect that is just exchanging one laborious task for another.

Just Downloaded the New Version and Cannot Move it to the Applications Folder from the Desktop

I have just downloaded the latest version of firefox to my iMac running on OS 10.5.8. The download comes in, but pops up on my desktop and when I go to move it to the applications folder - all that will move is an alias - the application remains on my desktop and of course doesn't run. How do I download it direct to the applications folder - or to a location or save where it can be moved as the instructions imply.

I have the shortcuts on my browser to the sites that I go to frequently. It's when I press those buttons (which have always worked before and I checked their URLs) it takes me to the Yahoo Page not Found page. But then when I click the shortcut button again, it usually works.

How to move library if iTunes Media Folder is not at default location

I need to move my iTunes library from my old laptop to my new one which should be simple enough but the problem is that my iTunes library database and content will not be in the same relative locations on the new computer - ie...I long ago ran out of space on my laptop HD and all my music has been on an external HD so my iTunes Media Location is not the standard "My Music" folder but instead points to E:/ITUNES EHD.
I would like to plug in the external HD to the new PC and copy the files to the new internal HD (as one of the reasons for buying the new computer was to do away with using the external HD for iTunes) and have the new iTunes point at the new media location but all the copied files have a pathway starting with E:/ rather than C:/ so iTunes immediately ignores them.
How can I transfer the files (including all the playlists other info) from the external HD to the new internal HD so that the "new" iTunes will recognise the files in their new location.
I hope this makes sense to somebody out there - please help or ask me any questions if I have not been too clear.

This article should get you started:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/48
The most important thing for a trouble free transfer is all you music files must be in your designated iTunes Music/media folder. That is set from the advanced tab in preferences.
If your current media folder is not set in preferences, you need to set it. If there are any music files outside the designated folder you need to consolidate your library.
The reason for this is that iTunes is extremely fussy about paths to files, but it can cope with a change in the path above the level of the designated media folder.
If you want to keep your current playlists etc, you will need to transfer your current iTunes folder containing the library files.
A simple way to do this is to install iTunes on the new PC then with iTunes closed drag the new iTuneas folder out of music to the desktop and replace it with the iTunes folder from the old PC.
You will need to adjust the permissions on the folder so your new account is the owner with full control.
Initially set the location of your iTunes music folder to the external drive and check that it all works.
Then you can move your files, by changing the location of your itunes media folder to one on the internal drive and then consolidating.

Move it to your Movies folder and then drag it onto the iMovie app in the Dock.

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

Hello,
I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having....
So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
each user or if I have to d this on per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

Hi Trevor,
To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
[Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Configuring Folder Redirection

Hope it helps.

How do I move pictures from 1 offline folder to another offline folder?

My Elements 8 pictures are on the root directory of a 16 gig usb drive. I would like to move them to a new folder on that same drive. I tried to do it in the folder view by selecting the pics in the root folder and dragging them to the new folder. That action was not allowed. I could drag the pics to a C drive folder, but not to a usb drive folder.
I then used the move function.under the File menu. It did the move, but changed the name of each item by adding a "-1" to it. And for each picture it added 1 or 2 small new files to the new folder. I then had to erase the small new files because they caused me to run out of space.
How can I easily move items from one external folder to another on my usb drive?

Thanks for your response...
I tried the Move function. It did not work very well either.
I successfully moved several groups of pictures, but PSE added a "-1" to all the files it created in the folder I was moving the items to, and it created 1 or 2 small jpg files for each of the files I moved. This caused my usb drive to fill up and I had to erase all the extra files. Eventually the "Move" failed in the last group of pictures I tried to move. It copied all of them to the new folder, but failed as it tried to delete them from the original folder. Thus, I now have 2 copies of those picture files on my usb drive.
By adding the "-1" to the file names, PSE does not appear to recognize folders on a usb drive. And I have no idea why it creates the extra small copies of the files...
Any other ideas?

I have several albums in a folder in iphoto. The pictures are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external hard drive and have them stay in order w/labels. How can I do that? Thank You

I have several "albums" in a "folder "in iphoto. The pictures, and videos (from a camera and smart phone) are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external harddrive. How can I do that and keep them in order, etc. What I have tried reorders them, separates them into the camera pictures, phone pictures, and movies. We are not sauvy in Apple or iphoto so this has been extremely frustrating for us.

Files on disk have no order - they are given the order by the viewing program - finder on the Mac - using the finder you can view files by many different sorts - file name - date created - date moified - size - etc
Deciede how you are going to sort them when you view them and then export them so that sort works for you
Generally using an alpha sort to view and exporting using the sequential nameing option is the solution - see the user tip on exporting for the options available

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

Include movies from playlists are all empty on my iPhone. Where did they go?

Include movies from playlists are all empty on my iPhone. i use this option. i like this option, why then is it not working now.
I have the usual playlists for Music. rock, disco, classic and some techno etc.
These are all full with the sounds i chose to be within these folder on my computer and also on my iPhone,
As expected they are all within my Music app on my iPhone. they are after all music.
As unexpected the 5 or 6 Movie playlist folders were also there,
Here i could access my tutorial movies for varoius subjects. yes from the music app.
Okay
so now we have divided it all up since ios6
Music in music and loads of options, pretty pretty pretty
Podcasts in podcasts and loads of options, pretty pretty pretty
Videos... ugly ugly ugly, now all thrown in together in one big mess. no lists nothing. Store button is ther and thats it.??????
video1 for photoshop is now with video1 for all the other subjects and i no longer have the ability to group my films.
i can see my movie playlist folders in the music app but all these flders are now showing nothing inside.
i would think this to be logicaly true but then the folders should not show either..... these should, now show in my videos app,
But they do not.
whats going on?
am i missing something
or has Apple just missed something?
anyone know?

P.S. Include music videos IS checked within the iTunes music synch tab.

How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.

Learning Burning ~ playlists in a folder ?

__Hello gang,
. . . ...I'm preparing my 1st data-burn to DVDr, researching w/ the 4th edition of iTunes/iPod Missing Manual, & perhaps boldly, i thought a folder of playlists would work for compiling a good amount for my 1st burn.
_In experimenting w/ "what i could fit" I dropped a playlist into the folder, then tried to drag it back out, that don't work, it isn't covered by undo, and now I've ended up combining tracks into playlists when i tried to drag it back to it's original place in the source~list.
If I haven't gotten you quite as confused as ME, is there any way to back out of these last few goofy~moves , short of reconstructing the merged playlists from scratch ??

You can preference any color that is available. I believe the default is blue.
If you take a PL and drop it into a folder of nested PL's then all that happens is that you have moved a PL into that folder.
If you highlight a folder of PL then you will see all the tunes in all the PL together. If you take the tunes from one PL and select all the tunes and do a CMD-I (Apple Key + I) you can make a golbal change in the Grouping slot - ie: PL 1. Then in the viewing of the folder you can set the view (CMD-J) to show the grouping column.
If you have dropped a PL into another PL all the tunes from both PL's will now be in one PL. If you had done a grouping of each PL then you could see which tunes are from which PL.
When experimenting it is best to use PL's with only a few tunes before moving large groups of tunes. And you do b/u - right?

Is there a way (or free tool/plug-in) to create a playlist from a folder?

Thanks for reading.
I waste a lot of time creating playlists for mp3s that are already in separate folders, sorted the way I want them to appear in the playlist.
Is it possible to simply drag or otherwise move folders to iTunes (latest version) and have them appear as playlists? When moving audio lessons to the iPod it is very time consuming.

+Why do you have 300 playlists?+
Because I have audio lessons, sets of mp3s that belong together (one playlist each).
+There's no need for playlists for each album or artist.+
+You can already select individual albums or artists.+
Not music, doesn't apply here.
+Just drag the folder to the word Playlist. iTunes will create a new playlist with the folder name and add the contents of that folder to this new playlist.+
+No need to make a playlist first.+
That's true, though I still need the script. Because if I drag more than one folder at a time (otherwise too time consuming) they will all be dropped into one playlist, with the name of the first folder.
No problem though, the srcipts work great.
