How Do I Organize  Programs in Different folders on Dock

From reading in this forum, I see that I can drag the entire APPLICATIONS FOLDER into the dock. I would like to have a few separate folders - so I can organize the programs-- into the programs I use most frequently.
Can I do this? How?
Thanks.

Sean,
You should not consider reorganizing the Applications Folder by creating sub folders or moving applications. That will lead to problems, especially when updating Apple Applications.
If you want to organize in the Applications Folder use an alias method instead. For example, create a new folder and name it "Internet Applications." Then make an alias for each one of the applications that you wish to place in that category, drag them into your new folder and place that folder on the Dock.

  • How do I organize pages documents into folders on iPad?

    I'm both an author and a student and could greatly benefit from using this program for my documents, and if you look at the top of the screen, there is an icon of a folder there, but how the heck do I organize my documents into the folders?
    I can't imagine having to scroll through hundreds of documents to find the one I want... but this seems to be the only way to find things. Is it possible that we can put a man on the moon but can't organize our documents in pages?
    I think not.
    So please, somebody tell me how to deal with this mess.
    Thanks!!

    You are in the Mac iWork area. Better to ask the iPad folks.

  • How can I move pictures to different folders while browsing in fast-preview (space)? Can I make any keyboard-shortcuts to move or tag a photo while looking at the pictures in this mode?

    When I look at the thumbnails in finder, I press enter to look at the picture. And I scroll down to look at the other pictures. I want to move or delete the images when I look at them this way... Any suggestions? I would think that there was a program for this...?
    Thanx in advance!

    GraphicConverter can do that.
    When you drop a folder full of image files onto GraphicConverter, it automatically opens them all in a catalog-style window. You can then select each in turn and use keyboard shorcuts to move the selected one to a target folder of your choice. I believe you can have up to 30 different target folders preset for this purpose.
    GC also provides a host of other file manipulation features.

  • How to put sent mails in different folders

    Hi, I just started experiencing this issue with Mail.app since I subscribed to MobileMe.
    I added more than one email addresses in the mobileme account, made the folders and rules to move the received mails to their proper folders. Receiving is now well managed.
    How can I do the same with the sent mails? The rules don't do exactly what I want.
    When I send a mail with for example [email protected] I would like to go the sent mail in "sent test" under the [email protected] folder, is it possible?
    thanks in advance

    Mulder is right - you can't do this with Mail.
    However, there is no such thing as a unique idea... and there are a few people who can turn them into reality. Try Mail Scripts by Andreas Amann. (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16217).
    That will let you process rules against sent items.
    Cheers,

  • How Do I Hide Program Acessible Files/Folders?

    Hi, lots of times when I install programs, it places useless files and folders in my most frequently used locations (e.g. Documents). This has resulted in loads of clutter and frustration. I have used programs such as Apimac's 'Secret Folder' and Altmomac's 'Hide Folders' but once files/folders are hidden they cannot be accessed by their associated programs thus inhibiting their functioning.
    Is there anything I can do to hide these files/folders while allowing them to be program acessible. Thanks alot.

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
    tell application "System Events"
    set visible of (choose folder with invisibles) to false
    end tell
    The folder targeted will then disappear from the Finder; the change may not be recognized until the Finder is relaunched, which can be done by pressing the Control and Option keys while clicking on its Dock icon and choosing Relaunch. Folder can be replaced by file if needed. Your account needs to be the owner of the file or folder in question.

  • HT1382 how do I organize iTunes in Album folders, rather than artist/album.

    The way iTunes organizes my music is not very organized for me. I would like to organize all songs from an album into a single folder, rather than having the album folders present with artists folder.  Is there any way I can change the way iTunes organizes the songs in my media library?
    I tried to see if I can export a playlilst that is organized by Albums rathre than artists, but there seems to be no options.

    iTunes has exactly one way to organize, and that is by artist/album.
    If that is not what you prefer, then go into Preferences > Advanced, and make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both not checked.  Then, for any new songs you plan to add to iTunes, put them in whatever folder you want them to be, and iTunes will be reference their current location, and will not move or change anything.
    BTW, changing those settings will give you the correct handling of new additions, but will not change anything that is already in the library.  Also, it does not affect any future items purchased from the iTunes Store.

    Ctrl + click on the songs you want to group - then right click and click get info and it will ask you if you want to get info for multiple items click YES then under album name it whatever you want and them songs will be grouped into 1 album.
    Mac:
    Same procedure but hit SHIFT instead of CTRL.
    Actually, it's right click or ctrl click, same as windows.

  • I only want itunes to hold the lossless files which are in two different folders. How do I do that?

    I have thousands of MP3 files which I no longer use and which are in my itunes library.
    I want itunes (version 11) to have in it's library only the MS Lossless format and the ALAC lossless format which are in two different folders. How do I achieve this?

    Delete the files you don't want, or cut & paste them to an alternate location if you want to archive them.
    What MS Lossless format? .wav?
    iTunes doesn't have any custom organization features, but you can change the location of the media folder and then selectively consolidate content to the new folder. This creates copies so you have to manually delete the originals. Alternatively I have a script called ConsolidateByMoving which does what it suggests. Thiis could be used to split the media into parallel subfolders within your existing media folder if you disable iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" option.

  • How to direct the Work Items in SBWP to different folders

    Hello All ,
    Is there a possibility of having a rule on the SBWP , so that the work items coming in to the inbox can be placed in different folders based on some grouping .
    I see 4 kinds of grouping :
    Grouped according to task
    Grouped according to content
    Grouped according to content type
    Grouped according to sort key
    Is there any help on how to use this . Any example given ?
    Do we have any other groupings on the workflow inbox other then the above ?
    Thank you very much for your valuable input ...

    As said above, the work items are automatically directed to these folders according to rules briefly explained here (and you can't change the rules): [sap library - workflow - inbox|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ae/b82ccee10611d2a62f0060087a79ea/frameset.htm]
    In case you don't have work items in your inbox, use transaction SWUI_DEMO: used to start several demo workflows
    If you want a custom business workplace, see demo transaction SWLD_INPLACE1: a custom business workplace with one container (program of 210 lines)

  • How do I store different folders to ICloud?

    I modified my 17" I7 Mid 2010 MacBook Pro over a year ago to install 2-500Gb SSD drives by removing my DVD drive.  Everything has worked fine, but I obviously did this in order to have some data stored on the second SSD.  The most important folders on the second SSD drive are my IPhoto files, My ITunes music files and my Documents folders.
    I cannot determine how ICloud determines which folders to use to store these files on the local machine, and therefore I do not know if my data is actually being stored in ICloud after transferring over from Mobil Me, since these data are not in the usual location on my MacBook Pro.
    How can I manage the locations of folders on my MacBook Pro for ICloud?
    Any help appreciated....

    Thank you for your response.
    I am not sure you understood the question after reading your response.
    I am clear on the difference between Mobil Me and ICloud, and there is certainly no IDisk equivalent in ICloud.
    I have always been clear on the usual locations for storage of these data files for IPhoto, ITunes and Documents (the default location for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files).
    I am not using the normal locations becasue of constraints in the amount of available storage.  You many recall that both ITunes and IPhoto as well as the IWork applications can use locations different from the normal ones you mention to store their data files.  It is unclear, and undocumented so far as I can tell, how ICloud determines the location of files to be synchronized.  If it is the "usual" location, those which you mention, they are not there on my MBP. 
    I was unaware of the limitations of the documents synchronization, and can find no documentation that describes this.  It is also unclear where Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files might be located for synchroniztion through ICloud.  Once again, my data files for these apps will not be found in the usual location, and I cannot tell whether ICloud looks to the "normal" location, or is directed by the applications for the location of the data files.
    I believe that the real question is where ICloud looks to synchronize its data.  Does it look in the normal location (those which you mention) or does it look where the application looks.
    I am excited about the functionality touted for ICloud, but quite disappointed in the absence of any meaningful documentation.
    Thanks again for your kind reply....

  • I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

    I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
    Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • How to create a Contact Sheet with Adobe Photoshop CS5 from a disc with images in different folders

    I got a disc with images files (mainly ai and psd files) in different folders and subfolders, how can I create a contact sheet including all the image files in different folders. (It seems that Adobe Bridge can only create a contact sheet by clicking the image files directly but not a folder including the images files)
    thx!

    Use the optional Contact Sheet II plugin which is found in Adobe's Downloads:
    1) search for contact sheet in PS CS5 help
    2) choose the first result and read carefully about the Photoshop Optional Plug-In Picture Packager
    3) follow the instructions to download the zip file and note the location that you download it to.
    4) follow the instructions to install the files.
    I'm not sure how PS CS5 will handle ai vector image files or if you have to batch convert them to raster images first before using Contact Sheet II.  Contact Sheet II allows you to choose a folder and Include All SubFolders as an option so you could create a Contact Sheet folder and copy all of your desired folders into that folder which will become subfolders of the main folder you choose for your contact sheet.

  • I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.
