How to merge 3 folders in finder?

The thing is I have multiple finder windows open and have these three folders that have the same name each in their own directory.
I simply hold option and drag so that one is copied from one directory to another dirctory on my computer.
I do the same to another folder and a pop-up ( as I expected) come up and asks whether to keep the newer files. I click yes keep the newer files.
I was relived and thought that I could do this for the third folder but for some strange reason I get a more stern ultimatium, whether to stop the copying of the folder or replace the folder entirely so that only the third folder remains and the previous two I merged together become removed from my computer.
my question is how can I merge together all three folders?

Their isn't any easier way to do this?
And also this exactly what I ended up doing, Thank a lot.
This really helped me..
But I guess my question is now more along the lines of why after my atempt to merge the third folder does the promt in the pop-up change, from when I simply just wanted to merge two folders?

  • How to merge folders?

    I create two folders with the same name. How do I merge them?

    You cant' merge folders by dragging one folder onto another. Open one of the folders and drag the icons from one folder to the other folder by tapping and holding down on the icons until they wiggle, then you can move them.
    If the iPad named a second folder with the same name as the first folder (which the iPad is apt to do on it's own) rename one of the folders. Open the folder, tap and hold down on an icon until they wiggle, the folder name will appear in a white horizontal bar, tap the bar, the keyboard will pop up and you can rename the folder.

  • How to add folders to Finder Go menu ?

    is there a way to add a folder to the finder go menu ?

    Don't think there is.
    But, you could look at the contents of the Go menu and locate those folders on your hard drive. Then create aliases to the contents of the Go menu in the Finder. Then you could place this in your side bar, desktop or wherever you like.

  • How to remove Duplicate Folders in Finder

    Anyone know how to remove / delete duplicated shared folders in Finder?

    Drag the duplicate to the Trash and delete.

  • How do I get the finder to stop replacing certain folders that I delete?

    I have enabled file vault on my MacBook Pro and therefore I have removed all movies, photos and music from my Home folder so that it doesn't create problems during the encryption/decryption process. Unfortunately, even though I hold no photos or music in my home folder anymore, the os x still creates new empty pictures and music folders every time I log back into my account, even though I keep deleting them.
    My question is: how do I stop the finder from automatically creating these folders?
    Thanks

    I don't think that is possible. You can manually arrange them, but there is no ability to automatically do it.

  • I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original.

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original. On my iMac, I also have many folders containing some of the same photos. My computer is used for both personal and business purposes. My libraries should be separated, one for each.

    To merge libraries use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  or Aperature
    To find duplicates within an iPhoto library use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Photos that are not in an iPhoto library can be imported telling iPhoto not to import duplicates (an imperfect procews) and then IPLM can find the duplicates
    As to keeping seperate libraries - only you can do that - IPLM can move photos between libraries for you but only you can know which photos should be in which library

  • Cannot save email attachments to folders in Finder

    Ughhh, I'm getting a sinking feeling.... It's happening again.
    Ever since I installed Mavericks back in June of 2014, I've had nothing but problems. In fact, the actual install (perhaps coincidentally, I'm told) caused my hard drive to fail in mid-install, even though it was only 2 years old. Apple Care cheerfully paid for the new hard drive and installed Mavericks for me, but ever since my previously fast, responsive computer has been incredibly sluggish, lots of beach balls, tons of problems with things like the one I'm experiencing again today -- can't save email attachments to folders in Finder (the computer behaves as if the save was successful, but when you go look in the Finder later, you discover it was never saved anywhere). Also, I can't create any new folders because it says the location is Read Only (I've tried various file locations -- same result).
    Since June, after countless visits to the Genius Bar and all sorts of attempts to fix the accumulating problems, the Genius erased my User Library last December in a final attempt to get the computer to work right before my Apple Care ran out. It was one of many attempted fixes that would actually work pretty well for a few days, but then the problems would accumulate again.
    Last week, Word kept crashing. I took it to the Genius Bar and the June 2014 hard drive failed a diagnostic test. Even though Apple Care had expired, Apple replaced the hard drive for free because they could see the long list of notes from all of the visits I had made to the Genius Bar. I restored everything and, although it seemed to be working okay at first, I was still getting a lot of beach balls. Sometimes it can take 30 seconds to open a Word document, even if the application is already open. (FYI, I don't keep a lot of applications running.) But at least it was working. Today, however, I'm seeing some of the old familiar problems creep in. I cannot save email attachments to a folder. I cannot create new folders. I've tried restarting the computer multiple times. All of this was working fine as recently as yesterday.
    1. Am I doing something that is causing this? This is my sixth Mac and I've never a serious problem with ANY of the others (including one that I bought USED) and I use them at least 8 hours a day. As far as I know, I'm doing everything the same way I've always done it.
    2. Has anyone else encountered this "Read Only" problem and do you know how to fix it? I'm starting to think this is just a bad computer and that this is a symptoms that something is very wrong again.
    3. Do I simply need to start over with a brand new computer (although, frankly, I'm scared to restore everything onto a new computer and risk "infecting" the new one). This is my work computer and I am self-employed, so I really cannot afford to be running to the Genius Bar once or twice a week any longer. Any advice? It's a MacBook Pro that I bought in December 2011. According to the stats, I'm using 354.68 GB of my 499.25 GB storage capacity.
    Sorry this is so long. Just trying to give the context.

  • How to merge pdf files in Preview in Lion

    I've consulted Preview Help to find out how to merge many pdf files into one. The Help window tells me to open each file, and transfer the thumbnail from each opened document into the sidebar of the other. Who wrote this Help item? Once you drag one thumbnail into the other sidebar, the other window closes, and there's no way to drag the closed file into the other file's sidebar. And I've tried! And tried! A helpful way out is to combine the two files, click Print, then save as PDF. But there must be a more direct way to accomplish this merger. Before Leopard, the procedure was easy. Then in Leopard, Apple made it a little more challenging. Finally in Lion, Apple seems to have surpassed itself, making it almost impossible. Does anyone know how to accomplish this Herculean task in an easy way?

    > The Help window tells me to open each file, and transfer the thumbnail from each opened document into the sidebar of the other.
    It works the same way it did in SL. That's exactly what I did. Are you sure you are dragging the thumnail? I just dragged a pdf to a file of many pdfs combined and it went right in and joined the family. View menu > Thumbnails?

  • How to download & how to merge pdfs into one pdf file?

    Hello everyone!
    I hope someone can help me, because I am SO frustrated right now! I want to create an electronic document of a 40-page thesis I wrote. I no
    longer have the original computer files, so I took digital photos of each page.
    Then I converted all the jpegs into pdf files.
    Now I want to merge these 40 jpegs into one pdf file.
    I read that this is possible with Adobe Acrobat 8 or 9. So, yesterday I downloaded the trial version of what I thought was Adobe Acrobat 9. Well,
    two whole hours later, all I could find on my computer was Adobe Reader 9, which would not allow me to merge any pdfs.
    So, today, I again reinstalled the Adobe Acrobat 9. Now, after waiting another two hours, there is NOTHING on my computer--no Adobe Reader, no Adobe Acrobat, no desktop icons, nothing in the "All Programs" list when I press the Start menu, etc.
    What happened? How could something that took so damned long to download be totally invisible on my computer now? I do see Arcsoft, but that is for photographs. Is it possible to merge pdfs together using Arcsoft?
    I have SO much other work to do, and I am so disgusted that I have lost two days on this project, just trying to merge pdfs together! Please, if
    you have any suggestions as to how to get Adobe Acrobat 9 as a trial version an/or how to merge pdfs, please answer this post!
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Courtney

    Hi. Yes, that is the link from which I downloaded Acrobat 9. I now have this file on my computer: AcroPro90_efg.exe
    Yes, I did install it, but one of the times it hanged at 99.96%. Do you know what that means?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Arranging of 'folders' in 'Finder'

    Hi, I need some assistance with rearranging my folders in "Finder" Can you tell me how the folders should be set out.  I am trying to organize my photos and have too many 'Picture' and 'Iphoto' folders?  would you be able to send me a diagram of how the folders should be.  Should the iPhoto folder be inside the Picture folder?
    Thank you

    There is no "right" way, just the way that you want.
    The Pictues Folder is a logical place for the iPhoto Library and that's where the OS will put it.

  • How to merge data returned from server after you hit SUBMIT button

    I have a PDF form with blank ID field. When user click Submit button on the form, an ID will be generated from database on the server side. How do I merge this ID with client's original PDF from so he knows his ID number? Any help thanks.

    When the user submits the form, he or she is redirected to the web page that you put in the submit URL. The form doesn't generally stick around. A typical response would be to return an HTML page that confirms receipt and gives a reference number. If you want to merge data with the PDF and present that back to the user, it's possible, but not very easy. If you decide that you'd like to go down that path, you can start by searching this forum on "vnd". You'll find a long thread with 30+ messages that show how to merge data with a PDF using various types of CGI scripts.

  • How do I get all Finder windows to open in spatial view?

    How do I get all Finder windows without special view options set to open in the 'spatial' mode (without the toobar or sidebar)? The ones I specifically change stay that way, but I want all new and old folders to be like that too.

    That's called the simple Finder mode. You would need to configure that as part of Parental Controls in the Accounts preferences. To make any Finder window appear that way jut click on the gadget in the top right corner of the Finder window.
