How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac ?

How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.

How do you switch output sounds set to my external monitor that is connected via HDMI.

Hello gail from Ajijic,
If you'd like to change the audio output of your Mac, you can do so by accessing the Sound preferences in your System Preferences.
Before you start, open the Output pane of Sound preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output).
Choose a sound output device
From the list of sound output devices, select the one you want to use. All sound output devices available to your Mac are listed, including the computer’s internal speakers, devices plugged into your computer’s sound port (), USB speakers, and AirPlay devices.
For any device plugged into the computer’s sound port, choose Headphones.
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your computer’s sound output settings
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

How can i create a new folder on my ipad

i recently bought an ipad air, how can i create a folder on the desktop, also how can i read pdf and powerpoint materials on it?

Folders: http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad997daa3f
As for PDFs and Powerpooint presentations, there are a number of apps capable of reading them in the app store (and the mail app will generally open them when sent as attachments). Look into Adobe Reader, GoodReader, File Manager to name a few). Most cloud service apps such as Box and DropBox will also read these files.

How can I create a new folder within IBooks

Hi,
I want to have two separate folders in IBooks - Books and Papers. However, I am unable to find an option in Itunes to do this. Ideally I would like to organize my files and books within Itunes and sync it with Ipad IBooks. Any ideas?

To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.

Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
Not all Windows versions support exFAT.

How can I create a new folder in iWork on iCloud?

I learned how to drag and drop individual documents onto the Pages panel of iWork on iCloud. However, I would like to be able to organize these documents in folders. I tried dragging a folder onto the Pages panel, but I get an error message saying "Folder Name" can't be uploaded because its file format isn't supported, even though this folder contains only Pages documents. Is there any way to create folders in order to organize your documents on iCloud?

Tap and hold a file. When it starts to shake, drag it on top of another file. This will create your folder. By the way, you can't create any nested folders (folders inside of folders).

How can I use my iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes, while connected via USB?

I was wondering if I could use my iPod touch as a remote/iTunes extension while it is connected to my computer via usb.
It would be highly practical to control my music from there, since it is charging right by my side while I'm at my computer.
Remote is not really an option, my computer doesn't have bluetooth or any connectivity. Something over wifi would work, but there's a usb connection right there that's begging to be used.
Thanks

You can't do it via USB. Go to the App store and download/install the Apple Remote app. It can control iTunes on your computer via wifi.

How can I create a new folder in the photo album?

I have photos in "camera roll" on my iPhone4 that were taken on my iPhone3 and I would like to start a new album so I can separate photos taken with my iPhone4.

I have the same problem. I have no idea where my photos are syncing to when I sync with iTunes. I know they're syncing because when I went from the month-old 3GS to the new 4 back in the beginning of July, all the pics from my 3GS were there. When I click on the Photo tab in iTunes, it's not like the app tab that shows me all the apps. Only thing Photo tab does is ask if I want to sync all my photos from my computer. NO! I have every picture I have ever taken with every digital camera I have ever owned, thousands of pictures dating back to 2007. I don't want to deal with all those old pics, I just want to organize the pictures that I have taken on my iPhone! Right now, I have 164 pictures in the camera roll and I can never find what I'm looking for. This shouldn't be this complicated!

How can I create a new Music Library?

Had to buy new laptop which of course has Vista. The old unit was acting up(I think Windows XP was corrupt), so I saved my Library Files but it looks like the old machine only saved portions not the whole Library. I had approx. 13,000 tunes (35GB) in the LIbrary and all that was saved seems to be 319 tunes. I have all the music on an external HD and only the Library was on the laptop. My question is, how can I create a new Library from the external HD music? Is there a way or am I SOL? Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

You need the entire libary on the external, not just media.

Once you get a complete iTunes folder on the external drive, start iTunes with the option/alt key held down and select the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive. You will also need to do this with your main computer or the libraries will become unsynchronized.
Alternatively you can make a separate library using the same media on the second computer. Start as you have been doing, let iTunes create a new, blank library file which will be on hte internal drive, set the media folder location in preferences to be the one on the external drive, then add the files to the new iTunes library. Unless you are a super-organized individual, or you don't care if your libraries do not have the same content, you are better off using a single library file that is on the external, not setting up separate library files.

How can I create a mail folder where my gmail folders are

Hi all, I have Mail with my Gmail account. My 'labels' have appeared as folders in my Mail. That's all great and I've learned how to use them effectively so that they all sync when going back to gmail.
However I cannot create a new 'folder/label' where all the others are. I can only create a new folder as a subfolder and then move it.
Is there a way to create another 'folder/label' where the existing ones are.
See this screenshot, so I'd like to create a folder where 'Adobe' and 'Airmiles' folders are and not as a sub folder of 'Adobe/Airmiles' or of [Google Mail].
Can I do that? I am able to create the folder as a sub folder and then drag and drop where I want it but ideally want to avoid this step.
Thanks in advance
Hayley

Not in Mail. If you referring to not having to use the menu, you can click the + sign at the bottom to create new mailboxes. But you still have to fill in the window with location and name. You can right click to create a new mailbox on an existing one, but not in the main account itself and you still have to fill in the info. It would create a sub folder.
You can also try it at the gmail website. There might be shortcuts there.
