Go to Folder not working

I am having an issue (see link here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15663908#15663908) and looking for a resolution, but found another issue.
I try to use Go to Folder to map to a specific folder, but I can't get it to connect to anything. I didn't have either problem in Snow Leopard.
I can at least initially connect to a folder using the Connect to Server (as mentioned in other thread) but I can't connect to anything with Go to Folder.
I'm simply typing in smb://server/share1/subfolder2 and it won't connect at all. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Go to Folder takes you to a specific folder already accessible to the computer. It doesn't attempt to establish any new AFP, SMB, or other network connections.

Watch Folder not working in PSE 8

My understanding is that My Pictures folder is automatically under Watch Folder list. However, whenever I create a subfolder within My Pictures in the Explorer and put picures in it, my media browser in PSE 8 does not show me those pictures in that folder. Why? It seems I have to manually add every subfolder within My Pictures to Watch list. Is that true or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hello,
Does anyone have any suggestions to my question? I did not get any responses.
Everytime I add pictures to any sub folder in the My Pictures, I do not see that in photoshop (PSE 8). I have to import each one o f them manually. Why is my Watch Folder not working?
Thanks

Digial Filing, Scan to Network Folder not working on new Asus Windows 8.1 laptop

I've having difficulty setting up Digital Filing, Scan to Network Folder on my new Asus Windows 8.1 laptop. I'm using a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series.
It seems to setup correctly with no errors. However, all scans end up with a zero file size PDF. Trying to open them gives the error: “Adobe reader could not open 'scan.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
I've previously had no problem setting up network folders to scan to on three other computers, all of which were running Windows 7, not 8.1. Digital Filling continues to work correctly on each of these older computers, but try as I might, I'm unable to get this feature to work with my new Windows 8.1 laptop. I've tried with both the “Solution Center” software and the embedded web access.
I've compared all the setting I could think of to the previous Network Folders that work and cannot find any differences.
The workaround, scanning from my laptop using the Solution Center software (rather from the printer console using digital filing, scan to network folder) works perfectly. As far as I can tell, all other features are working.

The STUDIO is an older laptop running Windows 7. Scanning to network folders works perfectly as long as the folder chosen is in the \Users\Public folder.
I do not know nor have not needed the Windows password on this laptop. It's been years since I set up this laptop; I don't know if it even has a password.
The ASUS is a new laptop running Windows 8.1. So far, I have been unable to scan to a network folder; all the resulting PDFs are zero bytes.
The network folders are all in Network Path: \\ASUS\Users\Public; if I try to create them outside this folder, I'm unable to even finish setting up the network scan.
I DO know the Windows username and password for this new laptop.
Username: [email protected]
Password: Gpaork3edrecnlau
I've compared the properties on the folders involved on the two laptops by right-clicking them. So far as I can tell, everything is set exactly the same on both computers.
Below are my experiments – the first three on my older Windows 7 laptop all work perfectly. All the rest on my new Windows 8.1 computer do not work.

Media Folder not working

k, i'm at a loss on this one.
from what i have read the media folder that you designate is where itunes will store and catalog all your music/video etc. c:\...\media folder\ then it will have music and video and podcast etc.
i want it to be C:\docs\ to my music/video/podcasts etc.. if i set my docs folder to be my media folder it just starts cataloging my artists, no \music\artists.
if i make my media folder c:\docs\music, when i import a cd it starts cataloging all my music in c:\doc\music\music\ artists... from what i gather itunes is cataloging correctly here. but when i try to eliminate the music\music by making my media folder just docs, it is not working correctly.
sorry if this is kinda long winded and confusing, but i am really frustrated at such a simple thing not working correctly.

finally after 3 hours of mucking around i found it. although i had itunes set to organize my music automatically. the fix was telling it to re-organize it... stupid itunes...

Saving image to a folder not working on azure

I am saving image
files to a folder in my application and saving its path in database . Image uploads working fine when I am running locally
and its path is also storing.When I deployed it on azure it
gives an error that " An error occurred while processing your request ". I have two tables in my database . First one where text is saved is working fine on azure but image upload thrown this error.
I am using this code
to upload
image and its works fine when I am running locally. Need help ?

Hi,
Have you made any progress ?
May I ask what application is it that you are running ? You mentioned that it works locally but not when deploying to Azure. Have you checked the connections strings?
If you are still having any difficulty in understanding the code, perhaps you could post it on the below blog.

Smart folder not working correctly

Hi @all,
I've created a search back when I was using Mountain Lion to copy my Photostream Pictures in specific folder. So I navigated to ~/library/application support/iLifeassetmanagement/assets/sub created and saved a search which will find all files from type "images". For easier access to the folder/search I've put it into my sidebar.
Unfortunately the search isn't working since I've upgraded to Mavericks. First I thought it is a Photostream issue, so I've deactivated and reactivated Photostream in system preferences. And wow, search is working just fine...I thought. The pictures I've taken for testing are present in the search folder. But then once again, no more additional pictures were updatet in he search folder.
So I recreated the search. But nothing changed. Search doesn't find anything, but all pictures taken with my iPhone are copied automatically into a subfolder of ~library/application support/iLifeassetmanagement/assets/sub over photostream. I've double-checked that by clicking through all subfolders and compare the included pictures with the pictures on my iPhone. Once again I've deactivated Photostream in system preferences and reactivated it. Once again it only worked once for the existing pictures. No additional pictures are added to the search.
I did some Internet research an someone mentioned that it could be a spotlight issue. So I've deactivated spotlight in the system preferences for Macintosh HD and reactivated it to force spotlight to build a new index. Then the search is working again once, but any new pictures will not be added although the pictures are within a subfolder of ...assests/sub
With Apperture I can also access all pictures, but no chance over the search I've defined.
Any suggestions or solutions for the above behaviour? I'm running out of ideas...
Thank you in advance.
DFault

C, sorry…I read your posts out of order. I see that you have links to your smart groups after all. My apologies.
It's as you say, the course pages load up, but I don't see anything in the smart groups. Just thinking out loud here…maybe the search criteria don't genuinely match anything on your site? Perhaps there are actual matches, but you've hidden content with a new credential?…I accessed both pages using the "Unauthenticated" and "All" credentials. My last/craziest guess is that it has something to do with localization…français versus anglais?

Synchronize folder not working in Lightroom 5.7

When I synchronize a folder in Lightroom 5.7 it shows 'Task completed', but nothing happens and Lightroom does not respond anymore. Any advice? Running on Windows 8.1..

I found the issue: From the event viewer I found that there was a problem with a Wifi Scale that my pc was trying to connect to. After removing all references to that device in the registry and restarting windows, Lighroom was working again. Seems perhaps far fetched, but I tested after every small step I tried, and it sounds somewhat similar to the connected phone issues mentioned on the forum..

Sent folder not working consistently

Last night, I sent an e-mail containing attachments from my iCloud account using Apple Mail on my Mac. The message got sent and it got saved to my Mac's sent folder. I also sent a few other e-mails, and they also got sent and saved in my sent folder.
Today, when I went to check my sent folder on my iPhone and on iCloud.com, all my sent messages were there except for the one I was looking for, which had the attachments.
I have had this happen several times before - where random sent messages do not get saved to the Sent folder on iCloud.com or to my other devices. Can someone help me resolve this issue? It is really frustrating when I can't find critical e-mails that I have sent because they don't appear in my sent folder.
Thanks,
N

Hi Guys
There is a way to fix this fully.
I wrecked my brains for a while and even switched to Outlook as I managed to get that to work.
Then I hit on the way yo make the Apple Mail application work as well.
The above comments are right you will find different folders in Mail that are used for saving your sent e-mails, and these will be different between what you see on your IMAP web mail when you log in via a browser / iPad / using Mail. (I am connecting to Yahoo mail)
Easy solution. In the Mail application on your MacBook, select the folder called "Sent" in your IMAP / Yahoo mailbox area (I no longer have it there in example below), then got to:
Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent
....and hey presto that will set it to be the same mailbox as in your web IMAP account / iPad / iPhone
Hopefully this will save you wasting a whole day on this......which is what I did
All the best
Rory

Spotlight on folder not working

I had a workflow running for about a year. Copied invoices and service reports and e-mailed them out then put them in a completed folder.
But now, nothing happens. Fired up a new workflow, and just used spotlight, used
.dmg
and in
Desktop
and the results box is empty. (there are .DMGs on the Desktop) I've even done a full computer search.
Is this a known prob with 10.5.7?
Check that, does work with full system search, but not on a folder.
Message was edited by: MudShark

I am seeing the same behavior. If I delete the comment it continues to show up.
However if I put in a new comment without the [ char the search behaves correctly. I can even put in a single space and that will cause the search to fail.
So unless I'm totally missing something I have to say this is a bug.
Sorry I don't have a solution.

Scan to Network Folder not working on OS X Yosemite

I've tried about a million combinations to scan to my network folder on OS X Yosemite from my Color OfficeJet Pro MFP M476dw, but no success. Strangely, I can initiate a scan from my Mac and it works just fine. I just can't set it up to scan to a network folder directly from the scanner itself. It's driving me crazy. The error message I receive is "Username or password is incorrect. Ensure both user account and password are valid." I've spent an excessive amount of time with Apple Support trying to fix it, but I'm starting to think this is an HP issue. Hopefully someone from HP can help!

Hi,On Yosemite, Apple has changed the folder sharing feature to use a new protocol, SMBX v3 which slightly modified the way it works to access a shared folder. The latest firmware for the printer, version 20150112, should resolve the printer compatibility with the updated protocol used by the latest OS X. Try updating the firmware directly from its front panel by following Method 1 below: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03754273 If that fails try following Method 2 to get the latest firwmare from the HP site and check if that may help. The utility is not available for 10.10 but you may try using the update for 10.9 or use another operating system if applicable to update the firmware for the printer. Please let me know if that helps,Shlomi

Why does "enclosing folder" not work from the SEARCH window?

I do a command+F search.
Command+2 to view as list rather than groups
and then sort by date modified.
When I find the file/folder I want I'd really like to do a command+[up arrow] which in the GO menu is a valid command.
Why does this work in finder windows but not in the search window?
I'm not using spotlight, just the good old command+F
This used to work in Sherlock 1 [using command+E] and when you opened the enclosing window, the file was already hi-lighted, faster to locate and saved mousing.

You'll note that in the Go menu that command is grayed out meaning it's not active in the search results display.
If you upgrad to Leopard then you can go to the Finder's View menu and select "Show Path Bar." The full path to any selected item in the Finder's window will be displayed in a path bar in the lower portion of the window. You can then double-click on any displayed folder to open a window on that folder.

Encrypted Disk Image to Password Protect Folder Not Working!

I have followed the instructions exactly for creating a Disk Image in order to password protect a folder. Folder contains multiple types of files including images, pdfs, etc. Here is what I've done and what happens:
In Disk Utility I created a New Disk Image from Folder. I chose the folder, which I have on my Desktop, and clicked Image. I gave the Disk Image a new name, placed in on my Desktop, indicated the image format as read/write and chose the 128-bit encryption. I chose a very strong password and unchecked the remember password box. At this point, all seems to have gone well.
Now, back to my Desktop. I have two things going on.
1. The initial folder that I wanted password protected is still present. Am I supposed to just send this to the Trash?
2. When I double click on the the new .dmg file that I've created, I am asked for my password, which I put in. Then, nothing. I mean, nothing happens. It doesn't open, it doesn't do anything. I can click on it and choose Open with DickImageMounter, and nothing happens. I can open with Disk Utility, but this just gives me the normal options to eject, burn, restore, etc.
I don't know why I can't get this to work properly, and I'm a little annoyed that Apple can't make it as simple as selecting a folder and having the option to password protect it, just like you can a normal file. PLEASE HELP!
Thanks.

As of OS X 10.7.4, Disk Utility had a bug that prevented it from creating an encrypted disk image with a password of more than 10 characters. I haven't checked recently to see whether that bug has been fixed, but from your report it seems not to have been. There is a workaround, but it's complicated.

'Automatically Add to iTunes' in alternate media folder not working

iTunes 11.1.5.5
Fresh install today on a more-or-less fresh install of Windows 8
Procedure:
Install iTunes
Before creating a library, change my media folder in Preferences -> Advanced
Try to add media by putting it in the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder created in the new media folder
Restart iTunes repeatedly in frustration
What happens:
Nothing
What I expect to happen:
Something. Either importing the file, or moving it to the 'Not Added' folder.
Notes:
If I don't change the location of the media folder, the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder works fine.
The path to the alternate folder is E:\...music\ while iTunes is installed on C:\ - could this be a problem?
The automatically-created Automatically Add to iTunes folder is located at E:\...music\Automatically Add to iTunes
Thanks for your time!

I relocated my iTunes library
What exactly did you relocate and how?

hi there,
that error message sounds like you placed a shared folder within a parent folder that is not shared. It also can help to boot into Recovery Mode (pressing Command and R simultanously when hearing the startup tune), launch Disk Utility, select the disk containing your OSX installation (usually named Macintosh HD) and choose Verify Disk Permissions. Should any problems be reported select Repair Disk Permissions. Once that is finished, reboot normally.
Though unlikely, it might have happened during all the folder removing and readding that some Permissions are out of sync. So checking these Permissions is merely a precaution
Once you are back in "normal" OSX using your admin account, try this:
Open Terminal from the Utilites folder
enter the following commands one line at a time:
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family/Movies
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family/Mom
chown -R <placeholder> /Users/Shared/Family
chmod -R 755 /Users/Shared/Family
Be sure to replace <placeholder> with your account's short name (no brackets!)
Now open System Preferences and select Sharing
Select File Sharing from the left pane
Click on the little plus and add /Users/Shared/Family to your shares (The subfolders are automatically included)
in the right most pane check the access privileges. They are set, so that you can read and write to those folders, while everyone else can only read. If you want everybody to have read and write privileges, use 777 instead of 755 within the terminal last command.
Now the other computers should be able to see and use the shared folder you just created.
If you create individual user accounts on your machine for every family member you want to access the shared folders, you can choose far more sophisticated levels of access privileges.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Dropbox folder inside public folder not working

Hello,
In my previous office, we used the dropbox folders (located in the public folders, part of the Mac OS) to exchange files between several mac computers and I have not been able to do the same here at my home between 2 macs.
Is there a step-by-step guide to assist in properly setting up the drop box in each computer?
I have experimented with setting them up with no luck.
Thank you in advance,
grodr

There is nothing to set up. Other users can see the folder (but not open it) at Users/yourname/Public/ - they can drop files into it but cannot open it. Only you can open it; and the same in reverse applies with other users' Drop Boxes.
You may find the Shared folder (inside Users) more convenient as everyone can open it to drop files in or copy files out.
All this applies over a network as well as between users on one computer.
