Duplicate folders being created within folders

I am noticing that since we started using Contribute on our
website that duplicate folders are being created within the folder.
For example - I have a folder called Ministries. Inside Ministries
are three subfolders - Peru, Brazil & Mexico. I'll go in to
upload a page to the Mexico subfolder and find that the entire
Ministries folder has been duplicated inside the Ministries folder.
So instead of looking like this:
Ministries -
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
It looks like this:
Ministries -
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
Ministries
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
Has anyone else encountered this? I haven't been able to find
any coding issues that would account for this. I admit that I
probably just don't know enough to know where to look.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am unable to reproduce this issue when using Contribute.
Could you please check if that system is infected by any
virus?
Please look the following site:

Duplicate Users being Created - AD / OD Setup - Please Help

I am a little confused.
Our machines use AD authorisation, and in the past have always had force local home directories enabled. This means that we have dozens of user folders on each
machine. Although as they are logging in through the network, there are no user accounts in system preferences.
We have now enabled portable home directories, and excluded a bunch of file
types and folders. Which is working fine.
However I have noticed that some users do not have access to there previous
files and that there are now two User folders with nearly identical
usernames but one ends with a $.
So in the users folders there will be “dan” and “dan$” with “dan” containing
there old files. I would like them to have access to all there files from before
we switched on pHD's.
I'm sure this must be a common enough issue. Anyone else had this occur ?
Cheers
Dan

Duplicate Threads Being Created with iMessage for Mac

I have iMessage installed on my Mac, iPhone and iPad and all are sync'd fine.
I have everything set to send from my phone number but when replying to a group message (4 people all on iOS 6) from my mac it will create a duplicate thread. This only happens when I reply from my Mac though.
Thanks,

I looked through the preferences for TextEditor. I had "Delete the automatic backup file unchecked". I think checking this option will fix the problem.

Problem with duplicate files being created

I'm having a problem with PSE7 copying files from my camera card to my computer.
It will copy over all new jpg files fine but once it gets to the NEF (RAW) files it will not only copy the new files from today but recopy all those NEF files from other days that are already downloaded so that I end up with files like this:
DSC_2200.NEF
DSC_2200-1.NEF
DSC_2200-2.NEF and so on. It's very annoying and I have to repeatedly delete all the duplicate files and this takes up time. I do use the global search function in Windows to delete them but would prefer they don't do this in the first place. They do eat up a lot of space.
I have the settings set to only copy over new files in PSE so why is it copying over older files? Does anyone have any clues?

You can set up a scan when you create a new device in System Preferences:
go to System Preferences --> FCSVR Pref pane --> Devices Pane and then choose create new device ("+" sign and the Device Assistant will appear. You choose the type and then you can set up a Full or Add only Scan here.)
Other option is to set up a Scan via the Administration window in the Java Client:
This is not as easy since there is no Device Assistant.
go to Admin window in Java Client --> Response and then create a new 'Scan' response on the device you want to scan. 'Scan Productions' is something different, maybe you want that instead, I don't know. Depending on how you set it up, it can create a Production in FCSVR catalogue for each folder or subfolder and that media will be scanned and placed into that Production in FCSVR catalogue.
Anyways, once you create the Scan Response, go to Admin pane --> Schedule. Create a new schedule and add the 'Scan' response you just created to the "Response List" section. Don't forget to check "Enabled"...can't tell you how many times I created the response but then forgot to enable it.
Once you scan the assets, they are in the FCSVR catalogue with clip proxies, thumbnails and posterframes. If you have existing FCP projects that use this media, you will want to make sure the media in the FCP project is connected to that same media that was scanned. When you upload the FCP project, it will not dup the assets, just add the FCP project to it, unless you didn't set the EIP device correctly. If you look in Search All Jobs, the only thing that should be generated at this point it Edit Proxies (if you enabled them) and Elements.
Now my question to you is the same as Chris' question here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9147105#9147105. How did you set things up so far? What is your workflow? Where is your media?

Lightroom 4.3 Duplicate folders being created on import

Hi, is anyone else gaving issues with duplicate folders being created with Lightroom 4.3 on import?
When I import photos, they go to a folder with a name "XXX" for example.
The folder is in a hierarchy of "2013, March, XXX".
Lightroom creates a folder here and above 2013! It is making a mess of my library.
Also, when I import using Photo Mechanic (great software that just works!) and then do a "synchronize folder" in Lightroom, only 1 photo is transferred.
Is there a fix for these bugs?

It looks to me as though you've fallen victim to the "capitalisation" issue....in your Folders Panel your year folders names have the word "LIBRARY" in capitals, yet in the screenshot of the import dialog you are importing to "LR_Library_2013". I guess at some point you changed the capitalisation, and although the OS doesn't distinguish between the two formats, Lightroom unfortunately does.....so although all the images/sub-folders are within the one actual year folder, Lightroom sees them as two different parent folders.
So which one is the correct format as shown in Win Explorer? I'm guessing the lower-case version? If so, the quickest way to fix this is as follows:
1. Backup your catalog.
2. Create a root level folder on the C drive, call it whatever you want, say "Capitals Fix".
3. Right-click on the "LR_LIBRARY_2013" year folder in the Lightroom Folders Panel and select "Update Folder Location". In the file browser that then opens, browse to and select the "Capitals Fix" folder on the C drive.
4. Don't be alarmed as the 2013 folder will disappear from the Folders Panel, "Capitals Fix" will appear but all the sub-folders that were listed under 2013 will now have "?" marks.
5. Now right-click on "Capitals Fix" in the Folders Panel, and again choose "Update Folder Location". This time browse to and select the correct "LR_Library_2013" folder on the A drive. You may get a "Merge" dialog box, select "Merge" and everything should resolve itself.
6. Repeat if needed for the 2011 and 2012 year folders, though as you're likely not importing into there any longer you may not encounter the problem.

Group Folders not being created

Hi folks,
i think this is a simple question: i got Mac OS X 10.4.4 Server with OD and Mobile Homes configured. I set up some custom Groups but the Group Folders are not being created automatically. I think there is a terminal command to do this. Does anyone know that command?

Is it the CreateGroupFolder command?

Inbox folders not being created from msf files

Last week, I noticed that my Inbox folder files weren't appearing in my profile. I posted a generalized question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/996903
The response I received didn't help that much. The folder I created appeared on the remote mailbox as empty folders.
My mail account is synced via IMAP to a remote Zimbra mail client using STARTTLS. I can view my Inbox. The other folders in my Inbox account are not visible. I can send and recieve messages from my INBOX.
When I select "Manage folder Subscriptions" In the account options, I can see the folders. When I select them, and click the "Subscribe" button, nothing happens.
Inspecting my IMAP directory, I see the following structure:
~/.thunderbird/13zr0oo0.default/ImapMail/mail.<zimbra_account>.com:
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 1238 May 2 10:38 Archives.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 1235 May 2 10:38 Drafts.msf
-rw------- 1 matthewe matthewe 47500385 May 2 09:56 INBOX
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 375885 May 2 10:36 INBOX.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 25 May 2 08:58 msgFilterRules.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 1233 May 2 10:38 Sent.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 0 May 2 10:38 site-errors.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 0 May 2 09:59 Templates.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 2275 May 2 10:33 Trash.msf
The msf files are created when I click the "Subscribe" button but subsequent Mail files containing the mail data are not (note that non-msf files exist only for "INBOX".)
Removing .msf files and restarting Thunderbird has no affect.
When I launch, the errors console reports the following three errors:
"Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/%7B972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd%7D/chrome.manifest'.
-- There is no chrome.manifest file in my filesystem under /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}"
"While creating services from category 'profile-after-change', could not create service for entry 'Disk Space Watcher Service', contract ID '@mozilla.org/toolkit/disk-space-watcher;1'"
This is reported as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883621 and has been resolved at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=895964 but my system still throws the error. (I have plenty of disk space. Permissions perhaps?)
[JavaScript Warning: "Calendar https://mail.zimbrahostedemail.com/home/matthewe@<zimbra_client>.com/Calendar has a dangling E-Mail identity configured."]
I'm not sure what that means.
I am using Thunderbird 24.5.0 on Ubuntu 13.10

Is your question about files not being created, or because you cannot send and receive mail, or both?

Duplicate folders created

I am a new Aperture 3 user and after doing the Apple Pro Training set aperture as my default program for new photo's. Each time I import a new set of photo's a duplicate folder is created in my documents. (I assume these are duplicates since I import into my aperture library). Can these folders be removed?

In the Aperture Pro Training book in the lessons on import they have you create a backup of your images on import (pg 183). The lesson has you backup your images to the Documents folder. I'm betting you still have that turned on.
If you don't want the backups you can delete them but making a backup on import is a great feature.

How can I back-up folders that I've created within my Thunderbird e-mail program?

When I took my computer in to Best Buy, where I purchased it, I was told that they could not extract and back-up the info in the various e-mail folders I created within Thunderbird. This was unacceptable to me in that I want that info, so I'm asking how I can create a folder(s) in Thunderbird that can be backed up should it be necessary to wipe my hard drive/operating system clean?
Thank you.
LW

First take your computer to a REAL repair shop, not Best Buy.
Mozbackup is the best for backing up Firefox and Thunderbird.
Your profile is where your email and settings are stored. It is just a file like any other and any competent computer person would know this and be able to back it up for you. TheGeek Squad does not employee any of these.

Mystery Folders Being Created by Numbers (and Pages) on Server

Gentleones,
I'm running a Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 installation with multiple 10.9.1 clients. All clients are using iWork v. Latest and were all updated from 10.x and iWork '09. to get here.
When opening and then saving a Numbers (or Pages) document on the server, a folder with the same name as the original appears on the server. The contents look suspiciously like a bundle or package with the guts of the document in the folder.
The original document also gets modified when the document is saved.
Deleting the folder does not seem to affect the original document in any way.
It does this with alarming consistency.
Today, it exhibited a new behavior: a second document appeared with the same name. Though I wasn't able to see it on the server, several of the clients showed this second copy of the document. Others did not.
I have repaired permissions on the server and have ensured that all of the files and folders have "Read & Write" permissions for the root share point for "This folder, child folders, child files, all descendants". That I can tell, it's not a permission problem as each user can delete the mystery folder when it appears.
However, that said, I do have multiple users logging into the server using one username across several clients. That shouldn't cause a problem.
Users do not access the files in question at the same time.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Same problem here. Im running an OS X Mav Server 3.0.2 with shared folders over AFP. But for me it is not consistent at all. Sometimes it creates a "mystery folder" and sometimes not. It only happening with the iWork apps tho.
The other problem you were mentioning with duplicate folders in the client finder, but in server terminal (ssh) theres only 1 file, happened to me, but only 1 time.
I always thought it was related to autosave feature of iWork/os x, or file versions. I have turned of autosave on clients and server but problem still persist.
Could it be related to versions? I dont know for sure how to disable versions in the iWork apps, but it shouldnt be neccecary FFS.

Folders being created inside movies ?

Forders keep being created inside movies. The label is (A Document Being Created By Stomputil). The title is the same each time except that a number is added to the end and increments up.
I Have not seen this before Yosomite.
IS this a cause for concern and what's this all about ? I have searched and found enough reference to Stomputil to think its not malware, but no reference to my case.

Messaging server 7 duplicate folders

Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
libimta.so 7.3-11.01 64bit (built 19:54:45, Sep 1 2009)
Using /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/config/imta.cnf (compiled)
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-03 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120
After installling messaging server 7 and restoring data (imsrestore), webmail client shows me a draft folder and a Borradores (spanish) folder.
The messenger express client shows both as "Borradores" and just one keeps old messages, but new ones are save in the other one.
The same issue for Sent (Enviados) and Trash (Basura).
Not all users present this problem, and have not found the characteristic that makes the diference.
The ldap entry atributes (related with folder configuration) for a right user (no duplicate folders) is like this:
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meDraftFolder=Drafts
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meSentFolder=Sent
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meTrashFolder=Trash
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meInitialized=true
And for a wrong user:
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meSentFolder=Enviado
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meInitialized=true
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meDateFormat=0/
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meColorSet=5
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: mePrevTrash=Papelera
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meExpungeOnExit=true
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meViewSize=100
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meAutoSpell=true
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meDraftFolder=Drafts
I have tryied changing nswmExtendedUserPrefs attribute from "meSentFolder=Borradores" to "meSentFolder=Draft" without success.
I am not sure where is the problem, messaging configuration or it is a ldap issue.
Any idea will be apreciated, thanks.

adding to what Shane said...
doing this via IMAP is the best bet. If you are moving messages between folders in the same account, you can do that via IMAP and the Message Store will end up doing it all via hard links in the file system rather than actually copying the data. So it should be nice and fast and low impact on your disk space and system. In IMAP, "move" consists of COPY to the destination folder and then flagging the originals as deleted and doing expunge. That will update store.* files and create hard links for the messages in the destination folders, but not copy the message data. You will not need to do any reconstructs.
imsbackup/imsrestore could do it, but will end up copying the data - unless you enable real time relinker - so this method is more load on the system.
And manually moving the files around in the store would require reconstruct and is generally not as good an idea as doing it via IMAP. If you have only a few folders to do this to, then you could do the IMAP commands by hand as easily as you could hack on the store files directly.

Duplicate folders in photos - the solution

Starting with iOS 5 I was frustrated that I had what appears to be duplicate folders in Photos.
The iPhone one, Photo Library, and the one that I sync from on my computer.
Both had the same pictures
Problem solved....
It turns out that if you add a sub folder to the one on your computer you sync with (Wallpaper, Family, or whatever)
you will see "Photo Library" which will contain all the pictures from the folder you sync with and
"Wallpaper", "Family", or whatever folders below it with only the pictures you place in this sub folder on your computer.
In otherwords iOS5 expects you to break up the pictures in the folder you sync with into focused catagories.
Neat...
Be sure you have "All folders" turned on when you sync

This has been the same since day one with iOS 1.0 with the original iPhone.
All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in the Photo Library. Photos in the albums or folders below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. Photos on the albums or folders of photos below are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space.
This way you can view the photos in an album or folder only by selecting the album or folder, or you can view all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
A photo cannot be in an album or folder without being in the Photo Library.
