Emailing folders and their files

as a first time user I can't believe how hard it is to post a topic on this site , how bout making it simpler apple!
how do I email a folder with its files, I cant find an option to do this - windows gives you the option of emailing this folders files - can anyone help me?

Usually if I want to email a bunch of stuff, I will first compress it into a single zip file and send that file as an attachment. Recipients generally have no trouble unzipping the file. If you want to try this, just select the folder(s) and/or files you want to send, control click on one of the selected items and select the option to "Compress....". A zip file will appear which you can send as an attachment.

Will I lose my email folders and contacts addresse...

Will I lose my email folders and contacts addresses ???
Just this week changed from Talk Talk /toucansurf to a BT broadband and phone service.
I can access my emails ie receive and send from my new BT yahoo account and have good connection to the internet
BUT
Before I totally cancel my Talk Talk account I need to know whether the
1)existing emails in my inbox
2) the emails that are stored in folders I have created
3) and my contacts address book
will disappear when I make the full switch ????
Thanks
Sorry, think I posted this in another area too as was unsure)
(once this question is answered I need to ask another but this one is more important - cheers)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should be able to export your contacts to a file, then import them to your BT account. As for folders, if they are stored within the Windows Live program, they you should be able to save the contents.
If they are stored on a remote server, and you access them by webmail, then you may lose them unless you use an IMAP account to duplicate the folders on your computer, where you can save the contents.
Really this is an issue you need to ask about here http://www.talktalkmembers.com/forums/
as they are more likely to know how their email servers work.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

How do I get folders and their content to show up in the "Administrative Console"?

We have added a few sub folders under the “webroot” folder. I did this so I could make a custom web page that generates the code need to display the video in a web page if it is one of the folders.
My question is how do I get these folders and their content to show up in the “Administrative Console”?
Also how do I get the videos to be logged?
I have looked through the Server.xml and Application.xml files and the fms.ini but do not see any place, Am I not looking for the correct setting?
Attached is a pic of the folders.
Thanks
Chip

If Apache and MS do not talk to each other then where or should I be making these folders, some other location?
Maybe under the vod folder under applications?
Where in the “Flash Media Server” pdf would this be talked about?
Would I edit the Application xml file?
I am so new it hurts!
Thank you,
Chip

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop

How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop? It seems to happen a lot after I've hooked my laptop to my Thunderbolt in my office and then I unhook my laptop to go present at a clients of taking my laptop home to work. Every once in a while if even places all of my folders and PDF files in the far upper left corner of my screen. Needless to say, having to constanly rearrange my desktop is extremly annoying and would love to know what the fix is for this problem. Thank you in advance for any help offered!

Thanks for the tip "baltwo", unfortunately my desktop settings were already set to NONE. I've had one of my IT guys here this moring helping me look through all of this and we're at a wall trying to figure out why it's doing this. This morning when I docked to the Thunderbolt all my folders and PDF files are in the upper lefthand corner stacked on top of each other almost out of view. If I go to settings, displays, and swith to mirroring, all the folders and files go right back to where they're set up on my MacBook desktop, but I lose the ability to utilize the entire screen of the Thunderbolt. Very frustrating to say the least and after searching through and reviewing several forums, Apple is very much aware of this issue and seems to be keeping silent on the issue. Hoepfully they'll launch a fix soon!
THANKS again for the tip, it's much appreciated!

Does anyone know how to retrieve lost mailbox folders and their contents in mail?

Does anyone know how to retrieve lost mailbox folders and their contents in mail?

It might be that you selected "Delete sent mail after a mont (or a week, or whatever)" in Mail Preferences. iCloud account is IMAP, so it won't keep mail in your HD. I have that problem.

Auto-populating folders and .lvclass files

This post really contains two different questions/issues. The first question is about using auto-populating folders with .lvclass files. The second is a more specific question about why I think I need to use auto-populating folders for some .lvclass files in a project.
I understand that .lvclass files should not be put into auto-populating. Even though I know that is a rule, I don't really understand why. I think the reasoning is that the auto-populating folder ends up making a copy of the .lvclass file, and this could cause dependency issues since I now have two copies of the .lvclass file in memory, is that correct?
I have run into a situation where it seems that need to put some classes into an auto-populating folder so they can be distributed with my EXE by an installer. My EXE will load those classes into the program via a factory at runtime. Besides putting those .lvclass files into an auto-populating folder, I can’t find any other way to distribute the .lvclass files with my exe. Am I stuck with putting these classes into an auto-populating folder or is there another way to have my installer include them for distribution?

What I will say, though, is that it seems you have a bad misunderstanding of auto-populating folders. First, there is no "should". You may or may not use auto-pop. for anything you want. I usually prefer not to. Others like to use them for everything.
The second thing is that auto-pop. only affects what goes in the project tree. It doesn't create copies on disk or in memory. It's simply an organizational tool for the project. One place where it can be useful for people who don't usually use it is indeed when you want to automatically include files in a build, but I don't think that really applies with plugins, since presumably you want to build each plugin separately.
From what I've been told by multiple sources is that you can use autopop folders with .lvclass files, but it is not best practice. In other words, you can do it, but should not. It was three years ago I took NI's LVOOP course where I was first told that this was not a good pracetice and that it has something to do with dynamically dispatching objects, but I can't remmeber the exact reason(s).
I turned to both this forum and called NI apps engineers to find out why it is not a best practice to use autopop folders with .lvclass files. After some research the apps engineer over at NI that was helping me concluded that including .lvclass files in an autopopulating folder is not best practice because (according to him) doing so somehow creates two copies of the files in memory. I'm still not totaly sure if that true or not, but unless something changed, there are good reasons why one shouldn't mix autopop folders and .lvclass files. I'd just like to understand what those reasons are.

Disappearing Folders (and the files within.)

I have a client whose running a Dual Processor XServe. The clients attaching to the server use InDesign, QuarkXPress, Photoshop and Acrobat Distiller. I've seen a trend that's a little disturbing. They are reporting that folders (and their contents, of course), will spontaneously disppaer from the server.
(Oh, and the server is running Server 10.4.5, with 1G RAM, and attached XRAID.)
Sometimes it happens during the day, sometimes it happens overnight.
We run a nightly backup, and have been able to recover most of these issues, but it seems to happen intermitantly, but not any longer than 2 weeks between events.
Has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so, what's the corrective action for it?
Thanks!

In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ??? How does one email a pages document.

How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from.

Sounds like you are using Gmail.
Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

How do I... (1) "play" a ppt; (2) "see" my sub-folders and their files in "Docs To Go" or "File Manager"?

This is written for the Playbook blog writer in the hope that he will see it here and post a blog answer. However, a reply from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
[2 questions about PPBB OS 2.0+]
Hi. Thanks for your very informative blog. I would appreciate it if you would consider writing blog tips to answer the following:
1) Why can't I organize my files in "Documents" or "File Manager" to "see" them in their sub-folders?
BBPB allows me to create SUB folders in the Documents folder, through my pc's access to the "Documents" folder in the Playbook. However, then I cannot "see" these created sub-folders on my BBPB after I disconnect my BBPB from my PC.
All the files I downloaded into these "sub" folders end up all together in the file list in "DOCS TO GO", either in "Documents" or "Music" or "Video" or "Pictures" ---- but these files are NOT separated into the sub-folders I created. The same thing happens in "FILE MANAGER" i.e. all files on the Playbook are in ONE place only.
Is the Playbook OS ever going to allow one to view sub-folders and what is in them, other than using the pc to do it? For example, it would be desirable to put all my ppt files into one folder.
2) How do I "play" a PPT file in the BBPB?
The BBPB "User Guide" says that I can "view, edit, or play" Powerpoint Presentations. However, although it describes how to "view" or "edit" individual slides, it does not say how to "play" ("run") a slideshow. How do you "play" a self-running slideshow?
For example, in Windows, you can click "play.bat" (in a saved "presentation cd" folder on a cd or USB stick) to run the ppt with sound and pictures saved in that folder (you don't need the Powerpoint program itself for this, since you are using the "pptview.exe" file in the same folder to "play" it). However, after downloading all the files in this "presentation cd" folder to the Playbook, I could only see one of them, the ppt file itself ---- and there is no icon in the Playbook to "play" the slideshow, it seems. Help?!
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, I use an app called "File Browser" to view those subfolders.
As for running a powerpoint, I can open a ppt file and it runs in Documents to go. Next to the "Close" button there are three icons. The third one runs the ppt file as a slideshow.

How do I email folders and multiple photos? I get an error in server message very time.

How do I email folders or multiple photos? I get a server error message whenever I attempt to do this. Thank you!

Not sure what the error message is you're getting, but it's probably smartest to compress a folder, or its contents, or multiple files into a single file, then send it.
In Finder, select the files/folder(s) you want to send. Right-click (or ctrl-click) the group, then choose "Compress...". Once done, you'll find a file "Archive.zip" nearby, or "foldername.zip". You can rename it, but then attach it to the mail you're sending. It is safe to assume that the recipient will be able to unzip it.
Note that mail servers often have size limits for attachments, eventually both your outgoing mail server as well as the recipient's incoming server, and one limit might be tighter than the other. But then the error message should be telling you...

Search multiple folders and muiltiple files and combine to single file

I want to search multiple folders for muliple files and combine to single file name. The files I'm searching have same format, but where named
differently in each of there processes. Now I want to combine based upon -SearchFor .. I'm having a problem with -Filter $SearchFor
Code:
Function Search-Files{
Param([String[]]$Locations,[String[]]$SearchFor, $AppendTo)
Begin
If(-Not (Test-Path $AppendTo)){New-Item $AppendTo -ItemType File -Force}
Process
ForEach($Location in $Locations)
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Location -Filter $SearchFor -Recurse
ForEach($File in $Files)
Get-Content -Path $FIles.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
End{}
Search-Files -Locations "\\servera\public\t1\usa\saleshist\","\\serverb\public\t2\usa\saleshist\",-SearchFor "dodetail-cm.txt","somstr.txt",-AppendTo "\\virt1\Saleshist_data_load_files\saleshdr.load.csv"

I think you might want to use -Include instead of -Filter. Your -Include parameter accepts wildcards, i.e. *.docx or *somstr.txt
Your command to actually append the content should be:
Get-Content -Path $File.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
You had $Files.FullName which might behave unexpectedly, if at all.
Your actual command has several issues.
Search-Files -Locations "\\servera\public\t1\usa\saleshist\","\\serverb\public\t2\usa\saleshist\" -SearchFor "dodetail-cm.txt","somstr.txt" -AppendTo "\\virt1\Saleshist_data_load_files\saleshdr.load.csv"
You had commas following the lists of locations and searchfor terms, did that even work? Without seeing your source files or your target file I can only advise you so much, but ideally you would import-csv and export-csv. Depending on the contents,
you may be able to get away with get-content and out-file though.
I hope this post has helped!

Can automator create folders and organize files?

I produce a large number of files that must all be moved into appropriate folders manually, but in a consistent manner every time. The files are titled with a keyword for the folder that needs to be created for them. There are just five consistent folders.
Can automator be made to automatically create these folders and move the appropriate images into them? Perhaps from the right click menu?
I've tinkered a little bit, but only been able to produce erratic behavior. In all my experiments it always stalls on the 'create new folder' step, although it does create a folder, though usually not where I needed it to go.
Any advice would be really helpful! Thanks!

Ok, so while I edit my files in my Mac that will occupy some space on its hard drive that will be backed up in the TC. Does that mean that I will occupy two hard drives on the same stuff?
Exactly. That's kinda the definition of a backup. When (not if) something awful happens, like your Mac being lost or stolen, or the HD failing or getting corrupted, or you accidentally change or delete some stuff, you have a backup you can recover.
What will happen when my Mac's hard drive is completely full?
Don't let it. Delete things you don't need. If you can't delete enough, as Neil says, get an external HD for the "overflow" that won't fit, then let Time Machine back up both your Mac and the external. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for more info.
