Help - copying folders but not any files to my usb stick
ok, so i have a macbook pro with a solid state drive so too small to keep all my music on, as i have about 140 gigs of music and audiobooks etc. therefore i have been keping my files on my timecapsule.
however updating ipods is far too slow over wireless, so i bought a 256gig usb stick.
it takes 70 hours to transfer my files, however when it completes i have about 10-20 folders with files in and the rest are empty, any ideas?
Can you describe a bit more which steps you have taken so far? Also, exactly which USB device are you using? Has it worked for you before?
Regards,
Steve M.

Is there a way to separate raw files from jpegs that are in one folder after downloading from camera when you shoot both together. I tried arrange or sort by kind but that does not work. It arranges all folders but not the files in the folder., Is there a way to separate raw files from jpegs that are in one folder after downloading from camera when you shoot both together.

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

When I hit the attach icon in mail I can select folders but not individual files

Hmm....
It all smells like third party software conflict. Can you think of any candidates for third party stuff that interacts with mail, attachments, the file system? -
Copying Folders, but not images into another Catalogue
Hi,
I currently have two external hard drives where I have all my bird photos classified into folders by the name of the bird. There are more or less a hundred. I have one external hard drive where I import all the photos to and the other external where I backup the first external hard drive every night. They are getting full and I will soon have to purchase two more, but I was wondering how I could export all the folder hierarchy into the new external hard drive. It surely will be a chore to have to create each one again.
Thank you!
GloriaI tend to agree that it doesn't make sense to make a whole new parallel set of folders merely for disk space reasons. Equally, it makes no sense to have a new Catalog per drive. All that would be tedious to do and then doubly tedious to maintain, for example if a new folder is required in both places. Lightroom's Catalog can work just as easily with images stored on one drive, as on another, or across both.
So moving perhaps half of the present set of folders, assuming there is some sensible way to divide them (even if that is just A-M, and N-Z) onto the new drive, would allow you to continue using them there, with space to add more images into the same folders (alongside the present ones) and managed by the same Catalog.
It would also allow you to continue using the ones that remain on their current drive, with space now to add more images there, again managed by the same Catalog.
If in future some of these need to move around again to other drives (say, you buy a setup large enough to store it all) then that is no problem.
Or if the new drive is big enough, all the images and their folders could move there... which would then need a minimal and trivial change so far as your current Catalog is concerned (a couple of clicks to re-browse the parent location of the entire "tree" full of birds). Everything carries on functionally either side of this kind of a behind-the-scenes change.
Analogy: the actual nature and current location of the money in my bank account is of no real interest to me, so long as money's available when I require it, and so long as I have confidence that good practice is happening which will avoid the bank going out of business or refusing to let me have my money in the future. The bank is in fact moving this money around constantly; lending it, investing it and so on. And by virtue of my relationship with the bank, all kinds of services become possible, which would not be if I just stacked banknotes under the mattress. The account balance on the ATM screen - or to return to LR, the fact that the image still works - is what matters to me the customer.

I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in finder in my itunes media/music folder and on my iphone and ipad with itunes match but not in the itunes library?
Not working. And it didn't used to be a problem. iTunes can find the songs with Search Library, but doesn't show in any index (by song, artist or album). Finding with Search Library offers to play or add to Up Next, but neither actually does anything. Using File-Add to Library does nothing as well. The only way I can get the new files to play is to find in Finder and Open with iTunes.
I suspect Apple is trying to drive me to buy from iTunes store. Not gonna happen. If they don't fix this, I'll find another player.
This worked fine before OSX 10.8. -
Is there an icon for face time on the iphone4s home screen? I remember I saw it before but not any more. I still have the FaceTime app,but would like to find the icon on the home screen again. Anyone can help?
Check all of your folders to see if FaceTime is in any of them.
If not, check your restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) and if restrictions are on, and you know the passcode, then FaceTime might be turned off. Turn ON to veiw icon on home screen.
Let me know if this does/doesnt work. -
I could only browse files on my android phone in adobe dc app in the gallery and image folders but I could only browse files on my android phone in adobe dc app in the gallery and image folders but not other folders
Hi Buckyball1982,
What version of Android phone are you using?
Do you have a built-in file explorer or any third party File explorer installed on your phone?
If no, then i would recommend you to install a File explorer on your phone and then you would be able to browse files from within the Acrobat DC app on your Android phone.

i have a ipad2 and can only connect to the internet on safari but not any WiFi related apps such as YouTube or Facebook. plz help.
Try changing the channel in use in case you're getting interference.
If you have WEP enabled on the Internet Sharing it'ss worth disabling it whilst troubleshooting the connectivity issues.

Is there anything I should do to the TV or any settings i should do from my actual Macbook? It only shows the space background but not any of my icons or what i am seeing on my laptop screen. It is a new adaptor which was purchased last week.
It seems as though though it may be a connection issue, possibly hardware or adapter. Make certain the connections are TIGHT.
For software you may try a smc reset:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Try a pram reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If no joy you can take it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation make an appointment first.

Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
The more automated processes the better.
Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.
Byeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope. -
i have two apple id accounts ,when i used to update application it used to prompt a default id (the old one) and if the application was downloaded using the other id i would cancel and it would prompt the other id but not any more .
it just prompt the old id which im not signed in with im signed in using the new id and when i cancel nothing happens and when i try to update applications separately i have the same problem .
im signed in using the new id
the old one is my wife's so i can't delete it
the problem happens when i update all or each application by its own
using ios 5.0.1 on a iphone 3gs
the applications are downloaded using both the new and old id's
any help will be greatly appreciatedِThese are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here and they don't monitor these forums - I've asked the hosts to remove yout account ids from your post.
In terms of combining accounts it's not currently possible to do so, nor to copy/transfer content from account to another. -
Lightroom open Photoshop CC but not the files
When in Lightroom and I click on lets say 3 selected photos and want to open them in Photoshop HDR Pro or as layers, it opens CC fine but not the files. Any ideas? It's the same problem in open in CC as layers or Panorama. None of the files open in CC.
photosbyfry, jonhillenbrand, Many users have reported the same issue and we are working on a fix.
In the mean while, i would suggest you to follow the suggestions mentioned under the below article and check if that helps.

the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
any suggestions?Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.
