Do you know why I cannot create a new folder ?

Hi all,
When I right click on an existing folder in my internal hard drive or my usb drive I get the 'new folder' option grayed out,
Im logged in as admin

Dan

Thanks Sharon,
Its been like this for as long as I can remember. Ive had to resort to the ridiculous; to make a new folder I start an application say, Keynote & create a blank file, save as & make a new folder!@!!@!
In Finder, like you I dont have a "New Folder" option when I right click, but when I go to the file menu, the "New Folder" option is grayed out..
I would make a screen shot only I dont think I can post it!
Any ideas ?
Dan

Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

Not sure I understand the question but it could be because you meant to say "can't" somewhere in the sentence. anyway, just guessing here:
Try going to:
File >> Watch folders
Now you can Add new folders here that you see them in Windows. The word ADD is a button to browse for the folders and hopefully this will solve the problem you are having.

Cannot create a new folder on desktop.

Hello. When I am trying to create a new folder on desktop (right click->new->new folder) it gives me error message (i dont have english version of windows 8.1 so I had to translate it):
Item wasnt found.
Item is no longer placed in <%3 NULL:OpText>. Check the location of item and try again the action.
Can somebody help me?

Hi,
As Ed mentioned before, are you able to create folder in other places?
It is usually caused by incorrect delection of some registry entries, maybe accidently by yourself or by some registry cleaner\anti-virus software\bad-coded programs you installed recently.
So quick fix is that you can restore the PC to a previous state with restore point if you have. (please note that you will lose some recent settings)
You can also run sfc/scannow to check and fix if there're some missing system files.
Or try the registry fix mentioned in the following link (Please first backup your registry, any incorrect changes on registry will cause serious damage)

You can reformat the drive but that will wipe all the data on it. Move everything to your Mac. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility. If you need both Mac and Windows access, I suggest ExFAT. Then move it all back

Why I cannot create with my keyboard any letters?

Why I cannot create with my keyboard letters?

It's possible that Mouse keys was turned on accidently. Press the Option key 5 times and try it again.
If that was it, you can disable this feature in System Preferences > Universal access > Mouse & Trackpad tab

I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

Do you know why oracle queries many times sys.props$ for BACK_END_DB

I noticed that oracle executes the following query too many times.
select p.value$, lengthb(p.value$)
from
sys.props$ p where p.name = 'BACK_END_DB'
Oracle 9i DB
This query is not executed into a form, report, package or procedure.
Question is:
Do you know why oracle queries many times sys.props$ for BACK_END_DB?
or how can we avoid it?
Regards
Marcos Galeana

Hi,
Internal table sys.props$ contains data for some oracle parameter/variables. Oracle makes internal calls to its internal tables for many fornt end SQL statements (recursive queries). So do not worry about those internals calls.

I was trying to download a FREE app. It was keep saying that I have to verify my credit card details. As I did. Unfortunately they charged me 1,98 eur. Do you know why???

I tried to download a free app.It was keep telling that I had to verify my credit card.In the end they charged me 1,98eur! Do you know why?

Just for info..
This is the official answer from Apple.
"When you update your billing information (in this case when you filed your credit card), the iTunes Store will place an authorization hold on your credit card to verify your account information. You might see this authorization request on your online statement.
Don't worry, this is not an actual charge, it is simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has credit available to accommodate transactions."
Many thanks
