How do I create a new parent folder in my LR3.6 catalog?

I am trying to follow the LR Queen's advice for simplifying my existing catalog, in order to move it to a new computer and to then upgrade to LR4. When I right click on a top folder, and click "Add parent folder", I do not get a new visible parent folder, and my existing folder disappears from view. Help!

The <Add parent Folder> feature is not for creating parent folders but for making parent folders visible, in case they are not visible.
To crate a parent folder just create a new folder by clicking on the + sign in the header of the Folders Panel, just at the right edge of the black bar with the word "Folders".
Then drag-and-drop the other folder(s) on top of this newly created folder.

How can I create a new documents folder

Anyone know how I can create a new documents folder in my home folder? I accidently deleted it. Nothing was in it, so I don't need to recover it. I just want a new empty documents folder.
Actually, never mind. I solved the problem myself.
At first I created a folder in the sidebar, and it didn't have the documents icon on it. I just solved the problem by deleting that icon, then creating a new folder in the main window, naming it "documents", and then the documents icon appeared. Then I dragged it to the sidebar and it created a copy there.

My mistake. I was able to create a new documents folder without any throuble.

How do I create a new email folder?

For my email account I have an inbox folder, a sent folder and a trash folder. How can I create new folders for storing emails that I don't want to display in my inbox?

Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) are similar. One difference is that with IMAP, you can create folders on the server. Okay, you knew that from the above posts. Both systems can be read, usually, through the web or from an email program like Outlook. Which do you have? Go to your email program and look under something like Tools:Accounts:Settings. POP3 accounts will list a POP server for receiving, and an SMTP server for sending. IMAP accounts will usually just list your email address and password. Many service providers will allow you to have either type of account. I think Hotmail now allows POP accounts, where it was all IMAP before.

How do I create a new iTunes folder?

After moving backwards and forwards between Mac and PC, different format hard drvies and versions of iTunes (I recently "downgraded" back to iTunes 10.7) my music folder is in complete chaos. There are duplicate files, folders all over the place and deleting music from iTunes doesn't remove their folders. I'm wanting to have a huge clear out and basically rebuild my library and the folder itself from scratch, but I'm having trouble doing so.
Currently my iTunes folder is on a FAT32 partition on an external hard drive and what I would like to do is create a new, "empty" iTunes folder on the NTFS partition, then pick and choose which mp3s to copy across, leaving behind all the stuff I don't want to be deleted once I'm done. I tried doing this by making a new library, but all the actual mp3s are still being kept in the same place. Basically I want iTunes to ignore the folder that already exists long enough for me to copy the stuff I want to a new one. The best way I can describe it is that if you were to install iTunes on a new PC, it would create a folder without any actual music in it, then you could drag and drop mp3s from your old folder into iTunes itself, filling the folder up.
I hope this makes sense to somebody who can help me out, thanks!

assuming iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s):
connect your iDevices (one after the other) and right-click or control-click them in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
above will cover your purchases. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.
when done, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the new external. on the same tab, ensure the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked.
next, go file > library > organize library > consolidate files.

I have over 50,000 photos. Events no longer show up. How do I create a new iPhoto folder like in the old days with iPhoto Manager?

I have over 50,000 photos in the current iPhoto Library. I need to download 3,000 more from trip to Spain. Can/should I make a new iPhoto Library? How do I do that?

1) I had the same problem bedeviling me for over a month
(with the Apple Store people unable to figure out a solution!).
It turned out that the solution was exceedingly simple and easy:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/18554/why-isnt-iphoto-11-showing-an-eve nt-present-in-the-library
I have no idea how it happened, but like Asbjornu, "I had managed to sort the events "manually" (View > Sort Events > Manually) which hid the newly created events in-between my rather large amount of existing events. Sorting by date (View > Sort Events > By Date + Descending) shows my new events first in the list as they should."
I left out a huge whoop when this (simple) command solved everything.
2) Yes, you can create another iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2505?viewlocale=en_US
To create a new photo library:
                           Quit iPhoto.
                           Hold down the Option key as you open iPhoto.
                           In the window that appears, click Create New.
                           Type a name and choose a location to store the new photo library.
                           Click Save.
Afterwards, iPhoto will sometimes ask which library you want to open.
3) As far as the corrupted iPhoto is concerned,
trash or anything else, try rebuilding iPhoto (but
only after making a copy of your current iPhoto
library on an external disk, naturally).
Once the copy is made, close iPhoto, and
wait until you won't be using iPhoto or your computer for a long time
(like before you go to bed). Close all other apps, or as many as possible,
and reopen iPhoto while holding down the Option and Command keys
at the same time. Keep the buttons down until you get a page with a series
of half a dozen unmarked boxes or more, mark them ALL, launch rebuild,
and come back in the morning…

Create a new writable folder and change permissions

This is for a customer job; I fix PCs and MACs (mostly PCs) for a living.
(1) How do I create a new writable folder on a BRAND new external HD under OS X (assume 10.5 or 10.6). Note I will first reformat the external usb HD to Apple OS extended using Disk Utility. I will then do Cntrl-I (Apple Key-I) and select reset permissions checkbox at the bottom of the Info window.
ie. I know how to create a writable folder and and rename it under Windows Explorer BUT NOT under OS X Finder.
Please provide step by step instructions. I apologize for asking such a trivial question but I need it for a job in two hours.
(2) After I copy the user home directories from another MAC HD (the other HD is connected via Target Disk to a MAC laptop as well as having the new external HD being connected) someone in another thread on a forum said to do "chmod 777 -R /Volumes/Copied_Folder" to make the resulting copied folders accessible to anyone.
chmod 777 -R /Volumes/Copied_Folder sounds like a DOS command under Windows OS which is entered by creating a DOS window on the Windows Desktop and entering the command in the DOS window.
HOW DO I DO THIS UNDER OS X 10.5 OR 10.6 ?
(3) I do not know what /Volumes means in the command above. Please provide a real life example. i,e Again under Windows we have (for external HDs) F: or G: etc. What are Volumes called under OS X ?
I have connected usb sticks/flash drives to a MAC and copied in needed files but never paid any attention to what the OS X FInder called them. i.e this question (3) is about SYNTAX. I do not know OS X Finder Syntax for Volumes
Again, I apologize for asking such trivial questions.
Regards,
Mike

BDAqua,
I want all security OFF and all access for everyone on external HD.
At jobsite box at bottom of CMD-I properties on entire external HD was ALREADY checked as Ignore OWNERSHIP (not permissions) on drive. Permissions were logged-in-admin account R/W and all other R which is fine as others only need read access going forward. HD was already MAC formatted as I told customer to get a MAC external HD at Best Buy.
Thanks for your reply.

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

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).

I created a new home folder on an external but didn't move my old files over. Now I can't see the old hard drive in my mac mini. How can I locate that drive?

I wanted to move my home folder to an external drive. I created a new home folder and in advanced options I moved it over. I didn't however move my files over first, my bad. Now I can't see the hard drive on my mac mini. Is it possible to reverse it or get access to the old home folder and is it possible to still use the mac mini's internal hard drive for storage? How do I find my shared folder, it was on the internal drive. I'm new to macs as you might have guessed at this debockle. Can anyone help?

I'm using Mavricks. I wanted to move my home directory to an external and went into sys prop/users/advanced options and moved the folder ok. Being a noobie on Macs I didn't copy my data and such. So my settings were all new. Basicly now I don't see the internal drive on my mini. There is a lot of strage I'm not able to access. The internal drive doesn't show up. How can I put a folder back onto it so it shows up?

HT204081 I recently updated i tunes and had previously relocated my library to an external hard drive, on restart I realized that itunes did not update the new location on the external but created a new itunes folder on my regular hard drive. how do I com

I need to know how to fix this. I updated itunes and it created a new itunes folder on my hard drive after I ported all of it to an external for space concerns. It took all my files from that folder and recreated part of it to my hard drive. Now when backing up I have no idea where it is backing up to. Any help appreciated

Sort of. My media was on multiple hard drives, some local, and actually some networked, and then I conolidated it to a single external hard drive. Renaming drives and moving files sounds like a recipe for disaster.
When doing a consolidation, files are copied to a new location and the old ones are left untouched. Does iTunes create a backup database of the file locations before doing a consolidation? I could use the backup if that were the case, since everything still exists in the original locations.
I've recieved my replacement hard drive for the one that crashed and I may be able to copy everything back manually if I knew where it went. I looked inside the iTunes Music Library.xml to see if I could figure out the folder structure, but for some reason they all say they're located in the iTunes folder in My Documents. They're not, of course.
Would the Previous iTunes Library.itl be of any use, or is that for another purpose?

How do I create a new folder in my documents?

Hi there, I'm new on Mac.
How do I create a new folder when I want a new folder in my documents?
I also want to create folders on an extern harddrive, but I can only create a folder on the launchpad...

See my orginal post - it answered the OPs question just fine:
When you have any window open, you can press the Shift-Command-N keys to create a new untitled folder. Same with on an external hard drive. Also works on the Desktop.
Maybe I should have said, to your reply:
"and you don't have to open any windows to use the command on the Desktop."
Would that have worked for you?
