How can I make a folder structure for both PSE and Premiere Elements?

I have recently bought bundled PSE 10 and Prem Elements 10 ... (but have been using PSE6 for years)
I have lots of jpeg photos on an external drive in folders with a heirarchical structure eg. Pictures ... Friends ... 2011 ... 2011_12_02_Margate_seagulls.jpg I also have loads of photos that are simply there waiting to be sorted and are in their native format e.g PIC_6120.jpg Additionally I have .MOV files dumped from my JVC standard def camera some of which are custom named, others are left as is. I now own a hi-def lumix which takes great jpgs and also video MTS files. After lots of searching on the net for the best way to get all this organised I am at a standstill. I feel that I need an external folder system (ie one that does not rely 100% on adobe and its categotries and tags) because I have had catastropic losses when using earlier photoshop progs. I also see the benefit of using tags. So...
Is there a simple (and best) way to order my photos and hi-def video while taking into account content I already have shot/videod? I am happy to hear reasons and see examples why I should trust PSE/Prem E - but I would also like to see if it makes sense to use folders. Ideally i would love a practical folder structuring method that incorporates both video and still content. I have posted here because it is important I organise my video better and have a flexible system that allows for drafts and reworking my Hi-def content.
I have tried to find the info but it is so piecemeal and I have faith in the people on here ... Any links and advice would be much appreciated

In generic terms there are three methods of filing just about anything:
Structured by event
Structured by type
Unstructured
Event might be occasion or date or a specific project. For this type of structure you would store all your assets related to that event, regardless of whether it is still, image or audio, in one place.
Type would typically be by the type of asset. All your videos in one place, stills in another, audio in another etc... In business for example in the eighties (when personal computing became prevalent in the workplace) staff would religiously have all their word processor documents in one place, spreadsheets in another, powerpoints in yet another etc.... Dreadfully inefficient.
Unstructured would be a case of storing things wherever you liked and accessing them via tags or albums - but you've said you want to avoid this.
Personally I let the application store things according to the defaults for the different import types but then tag them. Essentially I follow the 'unstructured' style. For anything major I create a project directory and move all the project assets into it (i.e. selective structure by event).
If you search the Tips & Tricks forum I think Bill Hunt (who does this stuff for a living) describes his structured folder flow in great detail.

Can I make a folder structure for FF bookmarks outside of firefox?

I want to make about 100 bookmark folders for firefox bookmarks. Is there some way I can create the list in a word processing doc or spreadsheet and then import it into FF? It is a little time consuming in FF to make so many folders.

A possibility is to use JavaScript in Firefox to create the main structure and edit that file.
Run the script as a bookmark or in the Scratchpad with an about:blank page in the current tab.
<pre><nowiki>var head = '<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>';
var meta = '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">';
var title = '<TITLE>Bookmarks</TITLE>';
var menu = '<H1>Bookmarks Menu</H1>';
var dls = '<DL>';
var dle = '</DL>';
var folder = '<DT><H3>Folder #</H3>';
var link = '<DT><A HREF="http://">Link #1 in Folder #2</A>';
var text = [];
var maxF = 100;
var maxL = 1;
text.push(head);
text.push(meta);
text.push(title);
text.push("");
text.push(menu);
text.push(dls);
text.push("");
for(var i=0; i<maxF; i++){
text.push(folder.replace(/#/, i+1));
text.push(dls);
for(var j=0; j<maxL; j++){
text.push(link.replace(/#1/, j+1).replace(/#2/, i+1));
text.push(dle);
text.push("");
text.push(dle);
text=text.join("\n");
var URI="data:text/html;charset=utf-8,";
location.href = URI + text;</nowiki></pre>

Error code U44M1U5 for updating PSE and Premiere Elements from 12.0 to 12.1

Why not just give a hint in plain language rather than an error code and no listing?

How can I make my tags applied to BOTH of my email accounts?

My first email account was with comcast.net; I generated a number of tags and all are applied to incoming messages as desired. I later added my gmail.com account and none of the tags are applied to any of the incoming mail.
How can I make the tags work for BOTH accounts?
Thanks in advance.

Read the user manual that came with your camera or contact the vendor. My camera asks me where I want my uploads to go to. There is a setting in its option menu. Desktop is the default upload feature that my camera has.
When I connect the memory card to a reader, the photos automatically upload to my desktop.

How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
pshultz

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

You can do this using a meta refresh but the problem is you have to add it to the html file for the page very time you publish changes.
A better way is to create a splash page and upload it to the server outside of the folder produced by iWeb. Example HERE.
The meta refresh is added to the head section of the html file...
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="32;url=http://www.domain.about.com/Page-Name.html">
The delay time in seconds is marked in blue and the URL to the redirect page is in red.

How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

How can I make a "property node" for a VI?

Hello!
If I add a boolean button on the FP then I am able to make a property node for that button in the Block Diagram. But how can I make a property node for a VI? I have several VI:s an that together is one program. What I need to do is to verify what kind of VI some of my VI:s is. I need to verify if it is .exe or .vi-file, and if it is .exe then I want to disable run, abort, run continuously bottons otherwise not. I have hard that this is possible to do programmaticaly but I can´t figure out how. I am aware that I could do that manually in the File->vi properties->customize->windows appearance but theese choises makes it last forever.
I want to be able to stop and run and everything if it is a .vi file, but if it is .exe-file then all those buttons should be disabled.
Anyone have an example on this?
In an other message at this Forum I read "You can use the `Front Panel Window. Allow Runtime PopUp`" property to disable run-time shortcuts menues programmaticaly, but still I dont know how to create this property node.
/Amir

You really shouldn't open a new thread. If you don't understand something, ask and we will explain it.
Like I said in the other thread, you can check if you are running in LV or an EXE by using the Application>>Kind property. To get it, place a property node (from the Application Control palette) on the diagram, click it and find the property.
To set the properties for the VI, place another property node, right click it and select Select Class>>VI Server>>VI. You should have the properties you want under Front Panel Window.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf). I believe chapter 17 of the user manual explains about programmatic control of VIs.

You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

If you are on iOS 5 as your tagline suggests and it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account then you won't get the Edit button.
