Document folder frozen

When I open my hard drive and click on document, the window freezes. I cannot move the scroll bar or select any item within the folder. If I leave the default in iWorks to save a document to the document folder, it won't allow the page to be saved. If I try to save anything to this folder, it won't save. I can save it to another location, but is there any way I can "unfreeze" this folder? I am running SnowLepard

I got it! I reread some of the other posts and tried it again! Thanks!

List view in documents folder is weird

my Documents folder does NOT show the arrow to the left. All other folders have the familiar arrow. I just upgraded to Yosemite a week ago. Whats going on.

Found this answer over in another question. Solved my issue.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15693400#15693400
Check the following:
1. Go to Application folder (or any other folder with similar behavior)
2. Chose "View" --> "Arrange by" --> "None"

I have added the Documents folder to the Dock, however when I save a document it doesn't appear in the Documents folder on the Dock, only the Documents folder in the Finder. Is this a quirk, so am I doing something wrong?

I like having my Documents folder on the Dock so I added the Documents folder from the Finder to the Dock. When I save a document to the Documents folder, the saved document appears in the Documents folder from the Finder and not in the Documents folder on the Dock. Why is this happening? And how can I change this?

How do I move Documents folder?

I am trying to free space on my old Macbook Pro. My friend created a partition where I am moving most of my files to, including my pictures, downloads and Dropbox.
I would like to move my Documents folder too as there is plenty of space remaining in the partition.
Is there a simple way to do this? A drag and drop simply copies the files but I want to move the default location if possible.
Many thanks

I have Word 2008
Will the issue you have both raised affect my computer if I move the Documents Folder?
I don't think so. AFAICT, Office 2008 has no problems with symbolic links under SL. Regarding the MUD folder, if you quit all Office apps and move it to <~/Library/Preferences>, it should stay there. See this hint
<http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060228051625893>
If this were my machine, I shouldn't try to move a subfolder of Home -- either move it all, or store my documents in a different folder from <~/Documents> (you can put a symlink to this folder in Documents; if you give the link a name beginning with a blank space, it will always be listed first in Open or Save dialogues). But if disk space constraints don't allow you to do this, and you have to move Documents, I don't see any other solution than the one suggested by Matt Clifton.

CS4 'my documents' folder change

Hello helpful keyboard strokers,
Due to a change in servers at our Planetarium, I am now having troubles with CS4 PP and the AME. It would appear that my computers' my documents' folder was located on the old server; when PP loads, it can't find it and makes a temp folder someplace else and then loads fine. When I try to export into AME it attempts to start to encode, but then I get this message 'PProheadless Debug Event - PProheadless has encountered an error.
[..\..\scr\directoryregistry.cpp-283]
So, simple question, hopefully, simple answer, how can I change the location of where CS4 is looking? Our IT is taking it's sweet time with fixing all the glitches and I am low on the list. I don't even remember picking 'my documents' when I installed CS4, but I guess I did. What I would like is to change the location to one of my scratch disks; which makes more sense to me (avoiding the server location and time lag in access).
I can't seem to find where in CS4 to do this? Should I re-install and change the location at that time or does any know of a quicker access path?
Thanks for any help or suggestions and I will continue to play cards until the IT guys answer my calls....

I would like an answer to this question as well. I simply want the Adobe folder OUT of "My Documents".
Thanks for any advice you can offer,

All Documents folder

What is this for?I'm trying to clean out my Macbook and my All Documents folder seems to have a backup of everything on it....all my photos, videos, iTunes library, garageband projects, loop downloads.....7,663 things....can I delete the lot and why are they there?

It's a search result page, not a folder, and takes up very little space itself. Don't delete its content.

Lost Documents folder

While transferring the data from an older MacBook to a new MacBook Air using the backup on a Time Machine, I lost my "Documents" folder from the dock. I then tried to click and move the "Documents" folder from the "Favorites" on the left side of the "Macintosh HD. Now the "Documents" folder isn't visable in either place, and I can't find it. I looked at an earlier discussion about a similar situation and tried some of the suggested things, but nothing seemed to work. I think the documents might have ended up in the "Downloads" folder, but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu and drag it back from there. If it's in the Downloads folder, move it to the home folder first.

Mobile Documents Folder Missing in 10.7.3?

I have a 13" MacBook Air and a 27" iMac that I just did the combo update to 10.7.3. Since I have updated, I am missing the mobile documents folder. If I upload a pages document to icloud.com on my iMac and then go to icloud.com on my MacBook Air, it show's the file, however, it's the default pages icon, and it doesn't give me the opportunity to download it.
Because of this, I thought I'd look in the "Mobile Documents" folder and see if I can access it from there. However not that folder is missing. I have tried many different ways to get it to show up but I've been unable to.
I'm curious if Apple realized some people were using this folder as a "Dropbox" and disabled or further hid the folder so people can't sync files back and forth. More importantly, why doesn't icloud.com work for me as it used to?
Anyone have this happen to them?
Anyone know of any tricks to get the Mobile Documents folder to show up in 10.7.3?
Please help!

I can add a very related problem about this folder, after Lion 10.7.3 update.
I have a Goodreader app on my iPad and I used to use ~/Mobile Documents/.../Documents folder to transfer files
between my Mac and iPad.
After I updated my Mac to Lion 10.7.3, this method no longer works. Changes I make on my Mac's
~/Mobile Documents/.../Documents folder are no longer sent to the iCloud server and hence not pushed to my iPad. On the other hand, changes made on my iPad's Goodreader app continue to show up on the iCloud server, but they don't get pushed to my Mac.
So I confirm that this update causes problems.

Saving to Windows Phone Documents Folder

Greetings,
I tried to look through the forum but could not find anything on saving to the Windows Phone Documents folder. From what I researched online on the Windows Phone 8 it was not possible to do this as Microsoft had blocked the ability to do this due to security
reasons. But on the 8.1 release they allowed this area to be accessed by third party apps. Is this correct?
If so how do I go abouts saving to the documents folder. Basically my app is really simple I just input a couple of words into different text boxes and that should save to a text file. How do I go abouts doing this.
I tried doing this
StorageFolder local = KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary;
However, when I run it the program stops at this spot:
#if DEBUG && !DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_BREAK_ON_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION
            UnhandledException += (sender, e) =>
                if
(global::System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) global::System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
#endif
What am I doing wrong. Thank you in advanced!!

Create Personal Documents Folder and iView to display

Hi, I would like to
1. Create an KM Navigation iView to point to a users Fersonal Folder
2. Create an KM Upload iView to upload documents to a users Personal Folder
These iviews should point to a users personal folder dynamically based on who is logged in.
Also,
3. I am noticing that there is no Entry Points Folder or any personal user folders set up. Can anyone give me some direction how to create these or get them to appear?
Thanks for any help with this!

Hi, Thanks much for the quick reply. When I added this path I end up in my top level user name folder KMURRAy. The screen shows up as follows:
KMURRAY
==> actioninbox
==> Favorites
==> Personal Documents
I was thinking that your solution would might put me in the "Personal Documents" Folder. I next just added '/Personal Documents/' to the end of the intial folder parameter to be put directly int my "Personal Documents" folder.
This is great. Thanks again for the help. Greatly appreciated!

Move Documents folder to an other partition or drive.

Hello,
I want to move some user folders, like Documents, images, music, video and downloads folders, to an other partition or drive. I am using Mac OS X 10.5.2. I would like to move only those folders and not all the Home user folder.
I would appreciate a lot all the help you could give me. Thank you for your time,
Marcelo.

If you move all those folders there won't be much left in your home folder so it might be easier to move the entire home directory. But if you insist you can do this by creating symbolic links.
here are the steps for moving the Documents folder. the rest are handled similarly. (I would advise you to first try them on a test user account).
1. Run the following commands in terminal
*cp -Rp ~/Documents /Volumes/"diskname"*
Put the name of the disk you are moving it to instead of diskname in the above
2. make sure that everything copied correctly and run
*chmod -R -N ~/Documents*
3. next, delete the original documents folder:
*rm -rf ~/Documents*
4. And finally, create a symbolic link.
*ln -s /Volumes/"diskname"/Documents ~/Documents*
again, put the name of the disk you moved Documents to in the above.
I believe, that covers it.
Message was edited by: V.K.
P.S. i believe you'll loose the special system icons on the Documents folder when you do this so you might want to copy that icon and paste it onto the folder /Volumes/"diskname"/Documents before deleting the original Documents folder.

Folder redirection configured in GPO does not create Documents folder and does not redirect

Hi
Another Folder Redirect-post - sorry for that, but I could not find an answer for my problem so far: even with consulting many threads here...
We have an existing environment under Windows XP and want to move away from that. Now I ran into troubles with folder redirection...
The following folder- and permission structure exists so far:
\\<server>\<Users$-share>: This is the base folder for all users-directories
-> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / Users: Read&Execute, only this folder
-> Share-permissions: Authenticated users: Full control
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>: base folder for the specific user
-> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / User: Change, all permissions inherited onwards
-> Giving only change permission prevent further problems with self-called "advanced users"... ;-)
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\profil.V2: Profile directory of the user
-> Of course here the permissions are set by the system: override the predefined permission
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten: Atcual Home directory of the user
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Documents: Suposed Documents directory of the user
Now I am going to Server 2012 and Windows 8.1, configured the GPO to redirect Documents folder into the above mentioned:
GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
Setting: Standart - redirects all folders to the same path
Destination folder: Copy to base directory of the user
I apply policy to the user, log out and in - it doesn't work, no folder Documents created in my home-folder, Folder Documents still configured at C:\Users\<user>\Documents
A very special point:
I also do Redirection of the My Pictures-folder: Define it to follow the Documents folder. Funnily that one works and creates and configures \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Pictures
-> So in my eyes, it should work!
Then: I want to do the folder redirection without Offline Files, due to the fact, that our users work with dynamically assigned virtual desktops, which are been cleaned everytime a user logs off a machine. Therefore synchronizing doesn't make sense...
I just cannot see, why this redirection does not work :-(
Thank you very much for any help!
Kind regards
David

Hi David,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm the OS version of the Windows Server which you used to
configure folder redirection? Based on your description, did you mean that those users (who will be applied folder redirection settings) logged on Windows XP client computer?
When you configure the folder redirection setting in Document Properties (path:
User Configuration-> Policies-> Windows Settings-> Folder Redirection-> Documents), please check if you checked “Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating system” in Settings
tab. As below picture shows.
à
GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
à•Setting: Standart
- redirects all folders to the same path
à•Destination
folder: Copy to base directory of the user
Would you please provide a screenshot of those settings you describe? Meanwhile, please summarily describe
that how you configure. For example, where this GPO link to? Or any other. It will help me to understand clearly. Thanks for your understanding.
In addition, please use
gpresult command to check if the folder redirection group policy was really applied.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

DOWNLOADS folder in dock... all of a sudden DOCUMENTS folder!

What the hayhay? Seriously... I was just getting used to the new download folder, and it magically switched to the "documents" folder. And, I have no idea where my downloads are now going.
Help?
e

Spotlight (the magnifying glass icon in the upper right of the screen) can help you find where your downloads have gone. Most likely they are still going to the Downloads folder, which is just a standard folder in your home directory (the one that has your login name in the Finder).
The Documents and Downloads icons in the Dock are just pointers to the actual folders in your Home directory. If you click and drag one of them away from the Dock it will go "poof" and vanish -- as you have just removed it from the Dock.
To replace it in the Dock, open up a Finder window showing your Home directory, and drag the folder you want (Downloads in your case) back into the Dock on the Trash can side of the Dock's divider bar. The "real" Downloads folder will stay in your Home directory and you will get a new pointer (a "Stack" view) of your Downloads folder in the Dock again.
