How do I prevent my files from duplicating in a new folder when I go to package?

I don't believe this used to happen and it's driving me batty!! I save a working document in a job folder. Then when I go to collect the fonts and graphics by "packaging" it won't allow me to package in that first level it creates another folder inside the job folder with the same document, same name along with the fonts and graphics folders. Needless to say having mutiple files with the same name is REALLY DANGEROUS!! I am positive this is something new that is happening. Probably something easly to fix - I just can't find it!

It has always been this way. You can create the package folder anywhere you like, and there is no real danger in the duplication unless you lose track of wheter you are working onthe packaged copy or the original, but that's up to you.

This sounds like you are using Photoshop Elements, and the Photoshop Elements forum would be best at answering that.

HT3275 How do I find/restore files from items in secure home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?

How do I find/restore files from items in secure (File Vault) home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder? When I go into Time Machine, I see earlier dates but can't see files in my User File. I have File Vault turned on and see my home folder as a sparsebundle. Do I neede to restore this in order to see files in my home folder. When I click on it to restore it gives me an estimated time of over 2 hours. Also tried to restore an Excel file I was working on when computer hung, so lost it without saving or naming it. Does it exist anyplace and can I restore it?

Thanks. I had pretty much figured out from other posts that I had better turn off File Vault for my home folder and use a disk utility sparse bundel for little information I wanted to secure. The information about File Vault 2 in Lion was new and useful though.

How do I quickly move files from old iMac to new one?

how do I quickly move files from old iMac to a new one?

How many files, and what total size?
To move ALL your files from an old Mac, you would use Migration Assistant, using either an Ethernet or Firewire connection. It's not quick, though.
To move just a few, you COULD put the old Mac into target mode (reboot it while holding T, and connect a Firewire cable, with Thunderbolt adaptor on the new end if need be). Or you could just copy them via an external (probably USB, for compatibility) drive or flash drive, formatted Mac Extended.

Get files from old MBP to new MBP when the old one has suffered a Logic Board failure

Recently, my 2009 unibody MacBook Pro died. Logic board failure, I am told. It is out of warranty, and replacing the Logic Board would cost a grand. It had some other issues too, so I figured upgrading to a brand new system would be the best idea. So, I am going to purchase a brand new one within the next few days. My question is this: How to I get the files from my old MBP (I NEED them, plain and simple) to the new one once I get it? Should I take out the harddrive from the old one and connect it via a SATA>USB cable and connect it to the new one? Can anyone shed any light on this? It will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yep, all you need is a IDE/SATA to USB adapter for about $20 online at OtherWorld Computing, NewEgg and other online computer sites like Amazon etc.
You can find the screwdriver or other torx driver at iFixit or OtherWorld, just look for your Mac model or just be rough with it and drill out the screws.
You can choose to get a enclosue and use the drive as a external drive, it will cost more naturally, but for a few bucks more though you can get a brand new external drive and likely twice the capacity.
Some external drives can't be Carbon Copy Cloner and option booted from, so perhaps a adapter is best. (don't clone a OS from another Mac to your new Mac)
Setup:
When you set up the new Lion Mac, name the hard drive the same name as the external drive, also setup the same user name as the old Mac had. Software Update.
Install all your known third party programs from fresh sources as many as possible.
The last thing you do is connect the old Mac drive, transfer all the files from the user folders right back into their respective folders on the new drive (Music, Pictures, Documents etc) Not User/Library.
Open all your programs like iTunes and iPhoto and it will update for your files, then go through the folders and delete what you don't want.
Don't use migration or setup assitant, it's a blind copy, includes programs you can't use anymore and other headaches.
If you do things in the order I specify, your drive will be optimized and run fast for a decent amount of time.
If Lion act's glitchy, Carbon Copy Cloner to a new HFS+ Journaled (Disk Utility) and then hold Command R to get into Lion Recovery, Zero Erase the OS X Lion partition and then option boot from the Lion clone and reverse clone onto the OS X Lion partition on the internal.
You can also reinstall Lion on top of the factory Lion from the Recovery Partition.

How do I move music files from G4 to my new macbook?

I would like to move my music library from my G4 to my new macbook. the macbook doesn't have a firewire port. It has an enternet and usb ports. what is the simplest way to do this.

The easiest way would be to turn on file sharing and connect both computers to each other using an Ethernet cord, and transfer the files over the mini-network that would result. This would actually be faster than Firewire.

Why when i copy files from downloads to a new folder,then i delete them from the downloads i will loose the file?

tell me please when i copy files from downloads it will be a new file with new capacity? i mean if a file is 2 mb, when i copy it it will be new 2mb ?

If you copy it to another folder, e.g., Documents, and you can see it in the Downloads folder then you now have two copies of the file. If you delete one copy, the other stays intact. If you keep both, there is no harm, although the amount of disk space used is twice as big as when you only keep one copy.

How do I prevent offline files from syncing accross WAN

I have multiple sites connected via smaller WAN links (1.5 meg). I am trying to prevent any Offline Folder Syncing across the WAN.
When users travel to other sites there is an issue where their laptop wants to sync their MyDocs folder across the WAN. Since the user has several Gig of Data at the remote site this could take all day and can consumes all of our bandwidth between
the sites. This doesn't happen unless the users have their MyDocs folder set to 'make available for Offline Use'.
The users MyDocs folder is automatically redirected to a network file server at the users main location.
I have tried setting the Network Transparency to 64 ms (64) but that doesn't seem to help. Normal latency between sites (based off of a ping) is 75-100 ms (unless under heavy load).
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations? I tried looking at the below technote but I couldn't seem to get a setting that made this issue go away.

Any help you can offer will greatly be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
The article you looking at is not for preventing the offline file sync. So what's your requirement? If you don't want the offline file sync, just disable the it in the sync center:
1. Open the Control Panel, click on the Sync Center icon.
2. In the left pane, click on the Manage offline files link.
3. Click on the Disable offline files button.
4. Click on OK and restart the computer(see screenshot below).
If you want to sync the offline file, the guide you refer is the optimal solution for you. Since your file is too big. However, I suggest you sync it completely if you really need it when slow network or disconnection from the Server. It won't copy
the whole file every time. It just sync the new version of the file when it checked the file has be changed.

After installing Snow Leopard, how do you prevent FH files from booting Fireworks?

Even if I choose "always open as" Freehand they still open in Fireworks when I double click the file. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Do a Get Info (command I) on the file, and in the info window change the "Open with:" to FreeHand MX. That works on my iMac running 10.6.1, and it opens the file subsequently with FH. What doesn't work is the "Change All..." telling the finder to open all similar FH documents with FHMX. I guess we need to wait for a future OS update to fix that.

How do I move GarageBand files from iPad 2 to New iPad?

My laptop is a PC, not a Mac.
At the Apple store I was told it was no problem. I merely back up my iPad 2 and then restore my New iPad (3) from that backup. So far it isn't working and I've tried several times.
Weirdly, when I first set up my New iPad (3) iTunes set it up as the default "Steve's iPad" which is what I called my iPad 2 on iTunes, and my GarageBand files appeared on my new IPad (3). So I know it's possible.
HOWEVER, I hadn't backed up or synched my iPad 2 in a while, so my newer GarageBand files weren't on it. So I backed up/synched my iPad 2 and then restored my New iPad to original settings, and clicked on "restore from Steve's iPad" No luck. No GarageBand files. I tried this several times,with no luck.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is how you can export a .band folder to your iPhone, it should work for iPad as well.
This was my steps
1. Download iExplorer and install it. Connect your iPhone
2. Find the folder "com.apple.mobilegarageband" in iExplorers browser
3. Drag and drop your folder .band to the folder "Documents". (!! Your'e not done yet!)
4. In GarageBand on your iPhone press the plus-button as you would start a new song. Choose "Copy from iTunes". Choose your imported song.
5. Start rockin'

How can I prevent a tab from chaning into a new window by itself

When I play a video, and open another tab, the tab with the video will sometimes change into a whole new window. I don't click anything specific to make the tab change into a window, it will just do it a few minutes after I open the new tab. Does anyone have a clue on how to prevent this. Thank you!

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window.<br />
Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

When i open a new tab in Firefox, the yahoo website will open automatically in this tab. How can i prevent any website from opening in my new tabs? I just want to open an empty tab.

You click on new tab, a new tab opens, but the tab is opened as the yahoo homepage.
I accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar as malware the other day. This toolbar is really imposible to remove. It's not in the sofware add/remove menu, i've tried with several anti-malware sofware, they didn't succeed.
Now, i already made the toolbar invisible, but it still has a place in the firefox menu at the top of the browser, and like i said, it keeps opening itself in a new tab.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

How can I prevent my iPhone4 from opening the 'next' e-mail when I delete an e-mail?

Subject says it all. When viewing an e-mail, I delete it. Rather than just going back to the list of e-mails, my iPhone opens up another unread e-mail (seems to sometimes open a newer one, and sometimes an older one). I don't want it to do that.

You can't change this. http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
