Does Bridge only Filter/Search Keywords in one folder at a time?

It seems the "Filter" feature in CS6 Bridge will only search keywords in a single opened folder. What if I have multiple folders for image downloads, one per day, in a parent folder for the month, or even a year? Can I use Bridge to filter images in a folder containing other folders?
If not, is there another search strategy I can use to quickly filter images in multiple folders? Thanks.

You can select a root folder, and then select Show Items from Subfolders from the View menu. That adds all contained files to the Content panel, from which you can filter.
If you need more control, you can use Find instead, where you can also do AND/OR operations too, but takes a little more patience.

Can we open more than one "folder" at a time in Bridge?

When I click on a folder icon, the images appear in the Bridge workspace. Then when I click on another, different, folder icon, the previously displayed images are gone, and only the second folder's images appear. A priori, this seems to be an unnecessary limitation on functionality, and therefore I presume that I just do not know how to do what is called for: To use the functionality of Bridge for more than the contents of only one folder at a time.
Yes, I know that I could, using, say, Windows Explorer, create a sort of "megafolder" into which I copied the contents of several folders, but this seems to be a kludge which should not be necessary.
Did the designers of Bridge not contemplate that users would want to operate on the contents of more than one folder at a time? I presume that I am just ignorant of how to achieve what should be a normal functionality; seeing more than the contents of just one folder at a time.
Please alleviate my ignorance.

Quick way: Press Ctrl+N (Cmd-N mac) to open a new Bridge window. Open the second folder there.
Not so quick way: Select menu File => New Window. Open the second folder there.
If you MUST view all of the files in one window, all of your files MUST be in folders nested within the same parent folder. In that case:
1) View the parent folder in bridge.
2) Open the Filter palette.
3) Click the microscopic button in the top left corner of the Filter palette, which looks like a folder with a "No" symbol on it. The tooltip label for that button is, "Click to view all items...".

Found iCal events in Time Machine. Now Lion only allowing me to import one event at a time.

Upgrade my macbook pro over the weekend to Snow Leopard and then Lion.   I lost all my the majority of my iCal events.   Went to Apple store and they said that was rare and not sure how to restore my last back up from Time Machine on an external drive.   I've been spending hours trying to go through a bunch of threads on different MAC formums.
So I finally found my iCal events in Time Machine.   When I try to import these events, I am only allowed to highlight/import one event at a time.   This will take me forever to import years of missing data.   I basically have been using my iCal to journal for my 3 small daughters - first tooth, hair cut, etc.   So I am desperate to get these events back so I can get them printed and SAFE.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to import my ics files?   The Apple Store Genius had me tryng to import the corestorage.ics files.   2 or 3 of those files showed they were trying to be imported for over 4 hours.   I finally Forced Quit iCal.   I've tried this several times and same result.
The corestorage files were under user/library/application support/ical/sources
I now located the calendar events user/library/calendars/ then a bunch of coded files leading to the events. These events appear to be the ones I am looking for as I can read some of the files.   I have several years I want to import back into my working iCal.
Please help if you know how!!!
Thank you,
Very Upset Mama of 3 little girls

Thomas - You are awesome - THANK YOU!
I did exactly what you said (CAN"T believe an Apple Genius did not know this) and I think all of my events got restored.
However, it duplicated all of the calendars - I have 6 (one for each family member plus an extra called home that we all have to do).   Not sure if I did something wrong, but do you have any ideas?
Also, the time setting must be wrong b/c I have events from 2008 showing up in 2012 - same day and time as the old sessoin - just out dated.    Do I need to manually change all of this?   Should I delete the Calendars folder again and try again?
Also, I read some where about deleting a iCal cache file.   Do I need to do this?
I TRULY appreciate you taking the time to help people in this forum.   I have spent hours the past two days trying to figure this out.   Plus, now I need to figure out about upgrading my Office for Mac b/c I didn't realize I lost Office 2004 when upgrading to Lion.
Thank you for your time and support!

Elements 9 Organizer only imports one folder at a time

Well I purchased Elements 9 after not being happy with the products included with my camera's.
System is an i950 processor, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, 12 GB RAM, 120GB SSD and a 1 TB hard drive. Basically a system that gives me no trouble with any other software, for the most part, crash free.
I have a home server that runs on a gigabit network.
Pictures folder has about 25000 pictures.
My biggest problem from the beginning was importing my pictures.
I would do an import on the mapped drive for Photos and not all would be imported when I checked back later.
Then the issues increased when I would go in and actually try to import more than one folder at a time. All that would happen would be that the first folders contents would get imported but the second folder would get ignored.
If I highlighted 10 folders, only the first one would import.
Big big pain in the behind when you have things organized properly.
Also, must say that the organizer portion is buggy. Crashes a lot, and on a system like mine it shouldn't be slow to react which it is.
Haven't even got to the editor portion yet. Hope it isn't worse.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Finally, thanks Brett for replying.
Now I don't think this is just one person having the issue, in fact I would check on Amazon as there are a few reviews that state the same type of problems.
Editing seems to be great, it is the organizer that is the issue.
I do feel that Adobe took their time responding on here as you can see from some of the comments.
Being a director for a company that does managed services and network support for customers, I do understand the need for responses in a reasonable amount of time.
I am running off a home server in response to your question.
I have a C: drive that is a 120 GB SSD with 60 GB free.
I have a D drive that is a 1TB drive with over 700 GB free.
1 Gb wired network connection to 1 Gb switches. As I said, I manage an IT company, plus I have 2 degrees in computer science and have been working with PC's since DOS 5, and computers since 1979. I have checked the obvious, and also run Pinnacle Media Studio 14 on the same system and have no issues with anything, and that is video.
If you don't recommend working with files off a network, then this should be stated up front, not as a response to a problem.
Again, no problem with Microsofts built in applications getting pictures, tagging them, and doing face recognition on the same files and folders.
Tried what you suggested.
Have a family folder that has 7 subfolders relating to different people.
Tried to import the family folder....it did, with nothing in it. Had to import the subfolders individually.
Are you being smart with your "awesome" comment?
If you aren't, you may want to rethink how you respond to customers.
Again, this coming from someone who manages service people in this industry.
At the end of all of this, many people are having similar problems due to this slowing down, running things in the background, etc.
If you want to be in a state of blaming the individuals or the network protocols, or what we shouldn't do, then continue and customers will speak with their dollars and their voices on other forums as they are doing right now.
I think Adobe would be much further ahead if they accepted that there are issues and let us buyers know that they are working on it and will fix it.
We will see how the responses you get from others pan out.
As of now, I am using the live gallery that you can download with Windows Live Essentials to organize and it does a great job so far.
Imported all my pictures from my mapped drive, subfolders intact, in fact, I just told it where my picture folders were and it did the rest on it's own.
Just would have been nice having one program to do it all.

Search more than one location at a time?

Hello,
I spend a lot of my time searching for files in our studio (I maintain the archives, backups, file systems, etc.) and I have to search across a number of locations (a number of local drives, specific locations/folders on various servers, etc.). Right now all our machines in the studio are on Tiger and I'm considering upgrading to 10.5, but the one major roadblock I've come across thus far is the ability to search various locations in 10.5. In 10.4 I was able to select multiple locations (local machine, specific folders on file and archive servers, etc.) all at once to find what I need. In 10.5 I've been unable to find a way to search more than one location at a time. Am I missing something, or has Apple removed the ability to search like this? This would be a serious roadblock for me as it would mean each search I do would have to be done 2-5 times, depending on what I'm looking for and where it could be found. I've even tried created a "search" folder which contains alias folders to all the places I'd normally search, but this didn't work.
If anyone has any advice on how I could possible do this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Kristin.

Yea, I understand how to search in 10.5 (either using the magnify glass in top right, or command-F) but what I'm trying to figure out is how to search "This Mac" AND a folder on a server at the same time. In 10.4 you could just click on the places you wanted to search, but in 10.5 this option is gone. When you search "This Mac" (no matter how you customize your search), it only searches the Mac your on and mounted drives via USB and FireWire. It doesn't search other networked computers and servers and you have no option to search a specific folder on a networked computer or server unless you actually navigate to that folder and run the search (at which point you're only searching that folder and no longer also searching the "This Mac").
You can customize a lot of things, but what feature that's lacking in the 10.5 searching is the ability to search specific/various locations across a network.
In the studio it would be specific the computer I'm working on (a Mac Pro [not Macbook Pro]) and it's connected to 20 other Macs (G5 towers, Intel iMacs and Mac Pros) and two servers (Xserves). I only need to search specific locations on these systems, which you can't seem to do in 10.5. In fact, I haven't even found a way to search all the computers on the network, let alone specific locations on these computers on the network, all at once.
I've been trying to figure this out all weekend (at home) via the following setup:
- Intel iMac
- External FireWire drive mounted on Intel iMac
- G4 Server "connected" via Intel iMac
In each of these locations I've placed the following folders:
#1 - FIND THIS FILE - IMAC DESKTOP (on iMac desktop)
#2 - FIND THIS FILE - FW HD (on external FW drive mounted to iMac)
#3 - FIND THIS FILE - G4 DESKTOP (on G4 Server desktop connected to iMac)
When I run the search, if I select "This Mac" it finds both folders #1 & #2, but NOT #3.
The only way I can get the search to find #3 is to navigate via Finder to the G4 and run a search. But, now it's only searching the G4 Server and thus only find #3 and NOT #1 or #2.
I can either search "This Mac" (and mounted drives) OR the G4 Server, but not both.
At this point I have tried everything I can to get this to work, but nothing. I believe there is NO WAY to search various locations (especially various specific locations) across the network and that Apple has removed this ability in 10.5. I would LOVE if someone could prove me wrong!?
Regards,
Kristin.

I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Time Capsule which will only let me connect to one device at a time. Anyone else experience this?

I have a Time Capsule which I use with a Macbook Pro and an iMac, as well as my iPhone and an Airport Express. It appears as though it will currently only allow me to connect to one device at a time. I had my MBP and iMac sitting side by side and ran Aiport Utility on both. The Time Capsule would only show up on one or the other but not both. Anyone else experience this? It was working great until a day or so ago.

It sounds as if your Time Capsule is in "Bridge Mode", which would only allow one device to connect to the Internet at a time.
To check......
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Check the setting for Connection Sharing
If it is "Off (Bridge Mode)", change it to "Share a public IP address"

AP Extreme only allowing internet access to one computer at a time

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find a post on point. Have a brand new AP Extreme, with DSL to AP, then wireless to MBP and hard wired to 2 PC's running XP. Finally got it all running together, but the AP Extreme isn't allowing the various computers to share the internet connection. When one computer tries to access internet via mail or browser, receive msg "Internet cnnection currently in use by xxx.xx.x.xx (IP number for one of net computers). Enter DSL login password to switch the internet connection to this computer."
So, now what? How do I configure this network to share the internet connection among the 3 computers? AP is set up as bridge only.
Thanks.

MBP Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Sorry for the delay, but I wasn't able to access the forums. I finally hooked up the old wired router and PC.
If I configure the AEBS to PPPoE (which is what earthlink wants), I get an error message "Looking for PPPoE server". The network status shows "connected to Internet". Could this be a mistake in the MBP settings or the AEBS settings?
If I revert to using DHCP, then I continue to get the Double NAT error (at least it's reproduceable). I can connect in a limited fashion this way, but some pages (Apple.com prominently) won't load, and my email is very limited.
I see that a number of others are having the same issue with Earthlink. I have several docs from both Earthlink and Apple that purportedly solve the problem...except they don't for me.
So, two questions: in your original post, you suggested that I place my modem in "bridge" mode. How would I do this? I can use either the MBP, wired or wireless, or the PC wired. Once I accomplish that, would that allow me to reconfigure the AEBS back to PPPoE mode sucessfully?
2nd query: do you know a way to configure the MBP to connect with an earthlink ADSL modem using PPPoE. Switching back and forth (wired router to AEBS) it is evident that my problem is the AEBS is not configured correctly with my MBP and Earthlink.
I've been back and forth a dozen times, in every conceivable combination...MBP wired directly to modem, everything hard wired to Linksys router, AEBS & PC's hard wired to Linksys...this is making me crazy.
Thanks.

Can only connect to Internet from one computer at a time on network

I have a 2 computer network in my office networked with an Asante 10/100 hub. The computers are a iMac 24 (Intel) and an old G4 (PCI). The network has worked fine until just recently. Now, I can only connect to the Internet with one computer at a time...(DSL connection). I checked cables, ports, etc, and I'm wondering if this is a 10.4.9 issue. Coincidentally, I noticed that I am not able to access the Internet via Win XP using Parallels which also worked fine up until recently. I checked with the ISP (AT&T) who confirmed that all is OK on their end. Anyone have similar problem? Could OS X 10.4.9 be the culprit? Any help on this will be much appreciated. Thanks.
iMac 24 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2G RAM; NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256

I'd consider that a 3 computer network, Parallels being a virtual machine would alias the ethernet interface and need its own IP address. That may or may not have anything to do with your problem. Actually, the way you've described things, it sounds like a lot has to do with your contract with ATT. Is there a routing device at your end?
The only way 10.4.9 could be the culprit would be if it were the routing device.

How do I attach a folder that contains multiple documents? I try and it will only allow me to pick one document at a time.

I'm trying to upload to my school's online blackboard (which is where I submit papers) and I cannot seem to figure out how to upload a folder I made on my desktop. I created multple folders containing more than one document and thought this would be easier then each individual document. But I cannot attach the whole folder. I have to pick each document which I could have done in the beginning!! Any thoughts? I tried to hit shift and then control to highlight all of them but that did not work. Any advice welcome:)

Geiger,
This is what you get when you key the word sections into the help function:
*Creating Sections*
+In a word processing document, a section consists of one or more pages.+
+Each Pages template consists of one or more predefined sections. Every time you add pages to the document by using the Sections (word processing) or Pages (page layout) button in the toolbar, you add a new section.+
+In a page layout document, each page is one section. You can use the predefined sections as they are, or you can modify or remove them one page at a time.+
+In a word processing document, you can use the predefined sections as they are, or you can create or remove section breaks to define your own sections. To add a page to a section, add more content and pages will be automatically added, or insert a page break.+
+Here are ways to work with section breaks in word processing documents:+
+To insert a section break, place the pointer where you want the break to occur, and then choose Insert > Section Break or click Sections in the toolbar and choose an item from the list.+
+When you show invisibles in your document (click View in the toolbar and then choose Show Invisibles), a section break symbol marks the location of the section break.+
+The new section has the same formatting as the previous section until you change it. Changes you make to master objects, headers, footers, or page numbering will apply only to the section in which you make the changes. See Using Master Objects (Repeated Background Images) for information about master objects.+
+To remove a section break, click at the beginning of the line that follows the break and press the Delete key.+

Problem synching photos from PC to iPad air. Using iTunes it gives me option when I connect iphone to synch from ' my photos' however with the iPad it just gives me option one folder at a time. And once it has synch it if I try to synch another it just

Hi I'm not very computer literate so pls be gentle! I bought an iPad air two days ago and synch my photos using iTunes just fine.
Today for some reason I noticed all these white thumbnails on my laptop in the photos section. Stupidly I deleted all 600 of them and all my photis on the iPad immediately vanished. Later I restored the photos from the recycling bin to my photos
However now I try to re synch them there is no option to synch from ' my pictures' just each little folder ( whereas before I had a drop down box and could select which folders I wanted) however when I synch iphone it does offer the option
Anyway even if I synch each folder it will kep replacing the last one so I can only ever have one folder of photos on the iPad if u see?
How can I transfer my photos please?
And how can I get the option back of the drop down box and tick as many folders as I want?
Many thanks

or... put your photos in "My Pictures" in My Documents, and viola, itunes syncs it to the iphone. only one sentence needed =/
maybe im missing your point here, the long paragraph is mindboggling

How do I move up one folder while browsing Time Machine?

When I'm viewing a folder in Time Machine's "Star Wars" view, how do I move up one folder, to view the current folder's parent folder?
In Finder, I have several ways to do it: I could either hit CMD+Up Arrow, or CMD-click the title bar then click on the parent folder I want, or double-click the folder I want from the folder path in the bottom bar. But none of these methods work in Time Machine.

JUst like you would in the Finder. I use the Path button in the Finder's toolbar:
If you don't thave the Path button in the toolbar use the Customize Toolbar menu option in any Finder window to place it in the toolbar.
