How do you make a folder on my home screen? It doesn't seem to be liking the simply drag. Why?

I have tried to make a folder on my home screen the way everyone is saying I should but it just isn't working. I don't see what I am doing wrong. Is there a button I have to push to make it happen? Thanks so much.

Just hold down on one icon until they all start to wiggle, then drag two on top of each other. If the app you're trying to folderize doesn't work, try a different one. Some of them will not easily go into a folder on their own. (for example, if you want to tuck newsstand into a folder, you have to use two other app icons to make the folder then quickly drag newsstand into that folder)

  • How do you make an iMovie HD movie full screen in Keynote presentation?

    Hey everybody, and Happy Holidays!
    I have a presentation tomorrow morning where I will be using a VGA connector to a video projector to present my Keynote presentation. I have tried just about every way I know how to make my imported iMovie HD film full screen during the Keynote presentation, but so far the best I can do is making the slides the 1024 size, which still leaves a black background above and below the movie when it is playing.
    Basically, what can I do to make my iMovie film full screen in Keynote?
    Thanks!
    -Randy

    First off, I'd be a bit worried if the movie wouldn't play in Quicktime Player -- that's pretty odd, since QT is essentially what Keynote is using for playback as well.
    If you have a new MacBook, then its display's "native" resolution is 1280 X 800, which is pretty much HD (which is 1280 X 720). By way of working through this, I'd first set your screen to 1280 X 800, and then set the slide size in Keynote to 1280 X 720 (which is one of the default sizes, precisely because it fits HD). If you do this, and if you set your movie as wide as it will go and centred, then it will leave 40 pixels at the top and bottom of the display when you play the presentation. There is no way around this, as it is simply the case that the height of the movie in pixels is less than the height of the screen. If you tried to fit the movie onto all of the screen, you'd either have to blow it up so that the top and bottom were at the screen edge, which would cut off the left and right parts of the movie (this is like what is done in "pan-and-scan" or "full-screen" DVDs of theatre films), or you'd have to "stretch" the movie vertically, which would distort it.
    Complicating all of this is your projector. Even if it is just mirroring your display, if it is a digital projector, it too has its own "native" resolution, and unlike your MacBook, it is very unlikely to be a 16:9 ratio, but rather a 4:3 ratio (800 X 600, or 1024 X 768). So even if you hook up your 1280 X 800 MacBook, the projector will still at best project a squarer image, which may show up as narrow bands of darkness above and below your "mirrored" display.
    In short form: there is no way to avoid the black bands -- they arise because the movie isn't as tall as the display, and there's no way around that.

  • 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.

    thank you  
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can also try to remove them from the images folder and the  My videos folder, because this is where the Gallery will look for pictures and videos, and put them in another folder then reorganize them in sub folders within your new folder

  • How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs  no visable buttons

    How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs  no visable buttons?

    I'm sorry to be so vague. I have recently found out that what I want 
    to do is put my images in a javascript image rotator. I have looked 
    this up on google and have now tried about 6 different codes. I try to 
    follow the insert directions but I must be doing something wrong. I 
    get the first photo linked up but can never make the picture change to 
    show the other two photos in the image folder.
    Can you direct me as to how this works in dw?
    Thank you so much for helping.

  • How do you make a startup disk for Mac Pro with mountain lion

    My Mac Pro did not come with a disk how do you make one or get one??
    If you ever need to repair or reformat your hard drive you need one!

    If you still have - or can download - the Lion Installer app from the Mac App Store, you'll find an app titled "Install Mac OS Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder. If it's not there, and you've already purchased it, just go to the MAS, look under your Purchases tab and download it from there. If you haven't already purchased it, you'll need to do so using your Apple ID.
    Once you have the installation app, get a 8GB+ USB flash drive and download DiskMaker X - just plug in the flash drive, start up DiskMaker X and follow the instructions. You'll now have a bootable installation disk.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How do you make new pages from a page so they have the first page in their address.

    I am talking about something like the adobe site.
    Like www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/whatever
    How do you make a page be under another like the dreamweaver page is a link from the support page.
    My goal is something like this.
    I have www.architecture.com/profile
    I need
    www.architecture.com/profile/Commercial
    www.architecture.com/profile/Residential

    If im understanding you correctly, you want the folder to have an automatic landing page. Ex. If your folder is
    "profile" you want the visitor to see the first profile page when they visit www.yoursite.com/profile. Correct?
    If thats what you need, name the page you want your visitor to see when they go to ex. www.yoursite.com/profile "index.html" or "index.php" ad save that file in your "profile" folder. When you're visitor will go to www.yoursite.com/profile the page you named "index" will open.
    Let me know if you dont understand or if its not what your trying to do.

  • How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

    When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
    Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
    A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
    I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
    Thank you!

    Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
    Hope that helps,

  • How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

    How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

    Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
    I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.
