Failed Move of Folder

Hi -
I wanted to move a big folder (many subdirs and files) from one drive to another. I used the technique of holding down the Cmd/Apple key while dragging, which disappears the "+" symbol so that the folder will move instead of copy.
I get an alert there was a problem due to permissions.
The newly created folder seems to be full and intact. The old folder still exists, but most subdirs in it have moved except a few at the beginning of the alphabet.
They were apparently copied properly (same size in both folders) instead of moved.
Unless I'm really crossing neurons, I have complete permission to do whatever I want to these folders.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance --
James

You wrote: "I get an alert there was a problem due to permissions."Such alerts generally are not spurious.
You might check that you are the Owner and have Access of Read & Write on the files or folders in question using Get Info. Check the Ownership & Permissions pane: if you lack those two settings, change them in the Details sub-pane of the Ownership pane.
Good luck!

  • Move a folder, sub-folders, and documents under that folder from one document library to another within a Workflow

    Hello,
    I'm building a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 (Unfortunately we are not on 13 yet), and in that workflow I need to move a folder (with all it's sub-folders and items) from one document library to another document library.
    I tried a copy item but that kept failing, I checked content type, columns, and permission and it all looks good.
    the other option I started looking into is to Create the folder in the document list and them move all the items under that folder to the new folder. However I can't figure out how to loop through each items in that folder.
    Has this issue been addressed? or does someone has a solution.
    I looked and searched and all I found was tutorials on moving single items into a folder, but not entire folders.
    Thanks
    Hani

    Why to take pain in creating a workflow that copies folders, sub-folders and all of its contents from one document library to another.
    Simply open your source and destination document library in Windows Explorer mode and start copying your folder, sub-folders and contents that you want to copy out of the box.
    You will find "Open with Explorer" button under the Library tab on the ribbon of document library.

    I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage
    The movie had gotten to the point that I could watch it all the way through but it still said processing and got stuck at that point and when I turned off the wifi to try to restart it, it deleted its-self but did not free up any of the storage It was taking up
    Restarting my iPad does not help
    Some thing similar also happened to my old laptop when trying to download the iOS 5 update to my laptop when it came out. It kept getting disconnected and every time it would try to start over and act like what had already been downloaded was not there though it was still taking up the storage space.
    And it continued repeating until it took up all of my storage space. The data file would not show up anywhere so I had to restore my laptop to the factory settings and that worked for awhile but I eventually had to get a new laptop.

    Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

    Issue was
    reported before on the forums, but Domain Users and Domain Computers have already READ permissions to the AppV Content Share (NTFS permissions) where the .appv file is stored.
    Added (as a test) Domain Computers and Everyone Full Control to c:\ProgramData\App-V, doesn’t solve it.
    Cannot use ProcMon, because the Publish event occurs before user login.

  • How to move Pictures Folder to a new location.

    I have 4 internal HD's and I would like to dedicate one to be my Pictures HD/Folder. Is it as simple as copying the folder to that drive? I hope so.
    I use Photoshop and Lightroom only. Just use IPhoto for desktop wall paper folder.
    Thanks!

    If you use iPhoto at all, then it's a tiny bit more complex. Move the Folder then hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Select Locate from the resulting dialogue and then navigate to the new location. Thereafter that will be your default iPhoto library.

  • "Unknown Error" when trying to move a folder from local MAC drive to External HDD

    Help?
    Thanks`

    Hi,
    Are you trying to move the folder to the root level of the target external drive. If so try first making a folder in external drive and then retry moving to that new folder. A similar problem was reported in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2950191#2950191 on windows where you could not export to the root level of a disk. I recall having a similar problem on my Mac and I believe that it was the same.

  • Rule containing "Mark as Read" and "Move to Folder" does not remove New Mail Notification

    I asked this question in another forum here (sorry for not linking, but the forum would not let me because my account is not yet verified):
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/rule-containing-mark-as-read-and-move-to-folder/061a8009-dd98-4304-81b0-6c4c8a5a6205
    They passed the buck to this forum.  Can anyone help?  Here is my original post:
    I have set up a rule so that emails from a certain sender should be marked as 'read' and routed to a certain folder.  The rule works just fine except for the fact that it does not remove the new mail notification from the taskbar icon
    or the system tray.  The rule reads as follows:
    Apply this rule after the message arrives
    with New Home Sale in the subject
    move it to the _New Home Sales folder
      and mark it read
    Once I open the _New Home Sales folder, all messages are marked as read, as they should be.  When I open any of the emails in this folder, the notification goes away.  It does not even have to be the most recent email or the same folder
    - opening any email from any folder clears the notification, even if the same email was used to clear it before.  Previewing does not remove the notification.  
    I have a similar rule set up for another folder:
    Apply this rule after the message arrives
    with New Home Final Sale in the subject
    move it to the _New Home Final Sales folder
      and mark it as read
    The same thing happens here with the unread notification.
    This is very annoying, as I want to receive these emails but I do not need to know every time one comes in.
    Does anyone have any advice on this?  I have read a few threads about an unread email bug, but I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting somewhere. I find it hard to believe such a bug would persist this long.

    Hi,
    From your description, I would like to verify the Exchange version and Outlook version at first. Since I have a test in my environment using Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2010. I create a same inbox rule, it works and there is no new mail notification from
    the taskbar.
    What's more, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the problem is caused by add-ins.
    If the issue persists, please install the Outlook latest Service Packs and check the result.
    Hope it helps.
    Best regards,

  • A "Move to Folder" command

    If I select a file or more likely several files, I'd like a "Move to Folder" command that pops up a hierarchical list of the folders that Bridge knows about, then allowing me just to click on the folder name to put the file or files there. Moving files within Bridge is important enough to make this an easier process.
    Thanks for Bridge, I look forward to subsequent releases so I can deep-six Extensis Portfolio.

    Thanks for you feedback. You wish has been granted (you can choose either Copy To or Move To from the File menu or from the contextual menu). Check out the free beta of Bridge CS3 (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs3/)

  • Why can't I move a folder from contacts to the mail address line?

    Why can't I move a folder from Contacts to the address line in mail?

    If all of the contacts don't get moved into the address field(s), it's possible that some of the contacts in a Group contain  information but not email addresses for those individuals.
    Don't really know what else to suggest except, possibly, that you delete, then re-create the problem Groups.
