How do I specify what folders to save an imported document to

We just switched to an iMac and am using iWorks '09 as the primary editor. One issue we've noted on Pages is the following. We have multiple folders of .doc files that we moved to the iMac and left in their original subfolders. We can open the imported documents fine in Pages but when we try to save them Pages tries to place them in the default Documents folder. We want them to be saved back to the original file folder they came from. What is the setting in Pages to make this happen automatically?

You choose the folder you want to save to. Pages will go there the next times until you tell Pages to save somewhere else. N.B. the setting isn't linked to the documents.
There is a app called Default folder. Find it on Internet and see if that meets your needs.

In preferences set up your import settings, then right click on the tracks you need in a different format and use Create < Format> Version. New copies will be created in the target format.

TS1550 Do external hard drives mounted on my Mac get backed up by time machine on a time capsule wireless Apple external back up disk? How can I see what folders have been actually stored in the wireless back up disk?

Do external hard drives mounted on my Mac get backed up by time machine on a time capsule wireless apple external hard disk? How can I see what folders have been actually backed up in the external wireless disk? any help would be appreciated

They can provided you remove them from the Exclude list. Normally, Time Machine does not automatically backup external drives.

How do I show what folders files are in in list view? MacGenius NO help.

I recently went to the Natick Mall Mac Store to see a MacGenuis. I had two issues. The first was whether it is possible to view what files my documents and photos are in in list view, as I used to be able to view on my PC. The MacGenius tried to sell me a one-on-one lesson. When I asked how a lesson would help if it was not a possiblity, he told me to right click each document or photo to get that information. That is exactly the cumbersome, time consuming an inefficient process I was trying to avoid. I asked if he was aware of any third party software that could provide that function, and he said no.
A little more research on my own shows that if you put your cursor on the item, the information shows up in the bar at the bottom of the finder screen. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but certainly more efficient and quicker than right clicking on each individual item, and I can at least toggle back and forth to compare documents and photos in multiple locations so I can delete those no longer needed without having to worry about doing an extra step and moving docs in and out of individual folders to re-consolidate them and delete uneccessary copies. (I have extras because I do legal work and have to keep copies of all items submitted in a single court filing together, but may need the same photos or docs in other court filings, which also have their own folders so I have a complete set of what was filed in each filing).
Shouldn't the MacGenius have known about this function as an option for finding folders? He also told me I could not back up my computer on a disk I had previously used for a back up because the new back up would wipe out everything previously backed up.
I also asked him about the whirling colored circle which I seem to be getting a lot of lately. He "checked" my computer and determined that I need a new battery (mine had slightly over 450 cycles, according to him) and my hard drive is failing. All could be repaired for a little over $300. I was told I could not do the repair myself, it had to be done by a Mac technician, and that the parts could only be purchased at the Mac store and they don't sell the parts except to Mac technicians.
I was dubious, only because the MacGenius was consistently unhelpful and consistently tried to sell me items. I did stop and look at some PCs, figuring if my Mac was on its way out I would back up my docs and photos to a new PC and save a ton of time and money because I could consolidate on the PC which would show what folders my docs and photos were in - and use the PC for a backup drive until the Mac dies.
I got Tech Tool Pro 6 and ran the diagnostics. All of which contradicted what the MacGenius told me, and gives me multiple options for backups without having to buy multiple backup drives for fear of having prior backups overwritten. So I don't need a new computer, I have an acceptable, altho less than desirable, way of telling what folders my items are in, and Tech Tool's optimization fixed the whirling "wait" cirle.
The only thing left is to ask if anyone has a hint or knows of software available that will in list (or other) view what folders my docs are in.
Except to ask, has anyone else experienced such disappointing help and annoying upsell from a MacGenius? In all fairness, the few times in the past that I have been helped by a MacGenius, they were extremely helpful and didn't try to sell me anything (altho my computer was new and still under warranty).

Customize the Finder window toolbar, adding the Path icon to it. Select an item and click on the Path icon or, as you already know, add path to the window. There's also copypath.app available via the App Store.

How to trash pref./folders relocation & save projects

Hi all
My equipment is iMac2011 version 10.6.8, with 2 HD – one for system and the other one is for scratch. I have 3 questions:
(1) I have some projects done and I already burn them to idvd. Now I wish to know how do I clear these projects at the same time to keep enought materials for future dvd burning.
(2) I understand some preferences folders should be trashed to refresh the FCE system that is including the com.apple.FinalCutExpress.plist Folder and the Final Cut Express User Data Folder. It’s easy to trash the .plist but when I open the User Data Folder, there are several items inside: i.e. Custom Settings folder (it is empty); Plugins folder containing: PieroF_AutoPanZoom_v1.1Rfxscrip (Simple Text Format); Final Cut Express Obj Cache.fcmch file (Final Cut Express File); Final Cut Express Prof Cache.fcpch (Final Cut Express configuration file); and Final Cut Express 4.0 Prefs fcset (Final Cut Express Configuration File). I appreciate some one would take time to explain these items and tell me which one should be trashed and why.
(3) Right now my Project File is sitting inside the Autosave vault (Scratch Disk>Final Cut Express Documents> Autosave Vault) which I think is not right and I think it should be in the System Disk>Documents>Final Cut Express Documents. If what I think is right, then I should relocate the Autosave Vault Folder from Scratch to System Disk and at the same time, the Project file in trhis folder shgould be removed from there and to store it in the Movie Folder, but I don't know
how.
There must be some one out there don’t mind to take time to explain the above and show me how to solve all these problems. P Sum
Thank you all

(1) Make and save a disc image of the final DVD; you can burn future copies from the disc image ... or just keep a finalized DVD disc to use for making copies.
(2) Normally you would only trash preference files if they become corrupted, but when you do need to trash them, use this free app to trash do it the proper (and easy) way: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/ . It will also allow you to make backups of preferences so you don't lose all of your settings files in case of corruption.
(3) The project file will reside wherever you choose to save it in the first place. Normally, one would not choose the Autosave Vault since autosave files are simply backups of your project file. The Autosave Vault should be on another physical hard drive so if the drive your project file resides on crashes, the latest autosave file will keep you from losing all your work. I save project files in my User folder on the main hard drive and keep autosave files on the drive I use as the Capture/Scratch disc.

HOW DO YOU FIND WHAT FOLDERS A GROUP / USER HAVE RIGHTS TO?

I want to be able to tell staff who administrate folders who (user or group) has access to which folders. I would also like
them to be able to choose a name (user or group) and be able to see all folders which that person can access, and
ideally what rights they have.
I can find out the relationship between groups and users it is the folder information that I cannot do.i.e what groups are
associated with this folder? What users are associated with it - and where is the info stored. I can't find out which table
stores this information. I can't find an api etc which does it.

them to be able to choose a name (user or group) and be able to see all folders which that person can access, and

associated with this folder? What users are associated with it - and where is the info stored. I can't find out which table
stores this information. I can't find an api etc which does it. The easiest way to see who has access to a folder is to look at the Access tab of the folder.
If you want an API to get this information, you can use the wwsec_api.grantee_list function.
For this function, the p_name that is passed is dependent on the type of object you're inquiring about.
For a folder the p_name would be constructed by the site_id || '/' || corner_id.
The site_id is the content area id and the corner id is the folder id.

How can I specify what type of text people can enter in a text box, on a fillable form?

I have an end user that wants to make it so that others who type text in a fillable form can only enter a specific email domain (example: [email protected]). This would be for only one text box in the form. Is this even at all possible, and if so, any guidance on how to make this happen? Thanks!
Jason

I suppose we could do it that way, but I wouldn't know how to advise the user to do this. (I am not an Acrobat user, I just handle installations and basic support). Could you walk me through it?

HT1284 how do you specify what files you want to backup

How can I tell what format my CDs were imported in?

We are moving to France and I don't want to take a ton of CDs with me. I've downloaded many of them, but have recently started downloading in the Apple Lossless Encoder format. Is there a way to view how each song/CD was originally downloaded before I take these hundred of albums to the resale store???
I want everything to be in the same Lossless format, but can't figure out how to display the format they're in.
Thanks for any help!
Cindy

open the song info (or press cmd+I)(letter after H) in iTunes. if it isn't in the format you want, you can either all convert them, although the sound won't be any better, or re-import the CD's while having changed the CD import settings in iTunes.
P.S: Bienvenue en France!

How do I add a finishing look to an imported document?

Are you trying to say the iDevice is not being detected by iTunes?

How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

Sup buddies,
How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .
TY...Over N Out...

hello, kiwi
quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
yes.
maybe,...
1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
or,
2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

How to add favorite folders to "Save As.." dialog screen

Hi all,
To the Windows Explorer shell it is possible to add favorite folders to the "Save as..." dialog screen (done so by dragging shortcuts to an open "Save as..." screen). [ see screendump for what I am referring to ]
Now one would suppose the same is possible for the "Save As..." screen from within Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Unfortunately, it is not: no possibility to add favorite locations there....
This isn't productive at all, since my docs are on a separate disc in non-standard folders. Each time I wish to save PDF-scanned documents to the harddisk, I need to click my way through too much folders...
Anyone know a way (registry edit perhaps?) that enables me to add favorites to the Adobe "Save As..." screen?
(I really need it there, instead of e.g. creating shortcuts on my Desktop...)
Thanks for your help!
Willy

Ok, here are three solutions I tested, all seem to work in my copy of vista.
The easiest: grab the 'places bar editor' from here: http://melloware.com/download/
Moderate: use TweakUI, the windows XP utility. You need to jump through some hoops to get it to run in Vista, but it seems to work fine. Follow the instructions by n8barber a few posts down: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/700353.htm
Hardest: edit the registry. I added the string using a single \ in the path, but somehow when i exported it I show a double \. I guess you will have to fiddle with this.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32\PlacesBar]
"Place4"="h:\\Project Files"

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

Hi I can't seem to create folders to save emails in. I have added a new mailbox, but it doesn't show up on the left of the screen. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks

HI. I can't seem to create folders to save emails in. I have added (several!) new mail boxes, but they do not appear in the menu on the left of the screen. How can I access/view them? Many thanks

Well, just to confirm the process, open Mail and click on the word "Mailbox" up at the top pf the screen in the menu bar. Then click on "New Mailbox" in the list. In the window that opens, enter the name you want for this new mailbox. The new Mailbox will be located over in the left hand column under the heading there, "On My Mac". If you cannot see the mailbox there, then it is "hidden" under "On My Mac". You will need to hover your mouse cursor over the phrase "On My Mac" and just to the right the word "Show" will faintly appear. Click on "Show" and your Mailboxes under "On My Mac" will appear.
