How to move projects into folders

I have many many projects
I'm trying to keep them organised and out into folders
This is really tricky
I have to click and hold down and drag and then place in the folder I want
Right now I'm uploading something to youtube
It's really unresponsive
When I try to drag and drop, it just doesnt like it
I've looked through the menus and cant see anything to 'cut' and 'paste'
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Omar

thanks russ for the reply
i mentioned youtube, since i have found fcpx to be unresponsive at times when it's doing loads of work
i assumed this may be the problem when i've tried to drag the project into the sub folder
just tried now. this isnt the case. it's still unresponsive
when i drag the project up or down, nothing happens
i managed to get the folders to start moving when i dragged up - not sure what i did
then when i tried again, nothing happend
i'm stumped with this one
and this is really impacting and making it very hard to work
help!

I want to consolidate all my songs bought under 2-3 different user ids and passwords into one so I can move them into folders and organize my music. How? and I do not have any of the old id's or passwords.

I have an older iPod one of the first touch screens. I bought music under more than one apple id and password. I got a Macbook last October and I just upgraded my old 3G phone to the new iPhone 5 (16 GB). All my music is on these devices but I cannot organize it. I tried to move songs into folders on my laptop but they would not go into the folder. I clicked on them and moved them by holding down the mouse. I think it is because they are from different accounts. Or am I moving them incorrectly? I have already created most of the folders like for Christmas music and workout. I just want to be able to manage all this.
I am technologically challenged so if you explain something you cannot skip a step. I am not even sure I picked the correct operating system below.
Thanks,

How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

Try selecting the photos, right-clicking the target folder and choosing
"Move Selected Photos to This Folder".

Cannot move files into folders on desktop

Hi, I cannot move files into folders on desktop. They won't go in when I grab them and drag them to a folder.

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or restarting the computer. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data before continuing.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ($). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

How do I move photos into folders in Windows 8.1

I loaded a number of photos off my camera and am now struggling to move them into different folders. I am unable to drag and drop, or copy and paste them into the new folders I have created and am getting more and more fedup!
I am using an HP15-N090SA laptop set up with windows 8.1

Hi dpa2013,
Thank you for your reply.
Here is a link to Copy and Paste Feature Not Working in Windows 8, from the Microsoft community. that has helped other people. Hopefully it will resolve it for you also. If you are still experiencing this issue, I would suggest doing a clean install of Windows. When I viewed the specifications for your system, I see it shipped with Windows 7. If you do a system recovery, it will take you back to the original OS. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) . You have an option during the recovery process to backup all your data, therefore you would not loose anything. Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7). Here are the steps to follow before upgrading to Windows 8.1. Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Please let me know the outcome.

How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
SYNC APPLY
I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

How to add events into folders without making albums?

All my events created in iPhoto are exactly the way I want to organise my photos, but I hate the fact that I can't organise them into different folders without making an album out of the event. I don't want 'pointers' of photos in the album, I want the original file that I can delete forever as well. I have organised my photos in continents, like Oceania, Europe, South America etc... Into those folders I just want the events of the different countries, so when I click on a continent I can see the event view of those countries and not see all the 4000 photos at once of all the countries in that continent. I also like to go through events the way they are displayed in the event tab, but when the event becomes an album, they are shown differently.
I hope I explained it clearly... Is there a way to put just the events into folders and keep them as events?
On the picture above I want the albums 'Mt Warning', 'Bungyjump' etc, to be become events that contain the original photo files and not just pointers to the original photos. I also want the display of this folder 'Australia 2012 - 2014' to become the same display as when you click on the event tab (so you can see the different events in thumbnails). Is this possible?

And how can I delete photos permanently (in all of iPhoto as well as on my hard drive)?
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

How to group documents into folders

How to get project into timeline

I am making a movie of pictures. I have all of the picture organized in the project area. Now I need to bring them down into the timeline so I can add transistions and music. I just can't figure out how to move the pictures there. I would appreciate some help. Thank you

If your pictures are in the upper left they're in the project browser, which is the timeline, and your window will look something like this:
You are not in project library. The button in the upper left is a button that takes you to the project library where all your projects are kept.
The Events Library only holds video, so if your project only has stills it may well be empty.
You may be confused because the window arrangement can be swapped so that the project browser, the timeline, is at the bottom:
You can do that if you wish but you don't have to. You can add any transitions or music or whatever to the project browser either when it's in the upper portion of the screen or when it's in the lower portion of the screen.

I can't figure out how to move my playlist folders to my iPod

I have a 5th Generation iPod and I am using it with the latest version of iTunes on a dare I say it Windows machine.
I organize my playlists in folders on my iTunes. When I sync to my iPod those folders do not carry over, but the playlists in those folders do not. I have sorted through the manual, the options on both iTunes and my iPod and this website, and for the life of me I can't even find a mention of how to move these folders over to my iPod.
ANY help is apreciated.
Thanks,
Karl

Although iTunes supports the use of folders in the manner you describe, unfortunately the iPod does not.

Premiere Elements 9 can't find moved videos? How to move projects?

I have a customer with an almost full hard drive, with almost 100GB of Premiere Elements stuff. I copied the videos (.mts) to an external drive but the project can't find them there. I can open a project and go to Get Media, and if I browse to C:\My Documents\My Videos (the original location), I can get the video. If I browse to the new location (E:\My Videos), I can see the video but double clicking it does nothing.
I have looked in all the preferences in the Organizer and the Project and I can't find the path "C:\My Documents\My Videos" anywhere, so I can't change it to the new location. Projects can find them in "C:\My Documents\My Videos" even though the current path to videos is shown as "C:\My Documents\My Pictures". How do I do this?
A second question: How do I move projects to the new location? Most of the answers I have found are for Elements 4 or so. If it's obvious and is answered in another location, a link would be great.
Lew

To move a project to a new location -- such as to an external drive -- use the Project Archiver, under the File menu.
This will copy not only the project file but also all of the connected media files associated with a project without losing the links. You can then delete the original project and media files from the C drive.
Otherwise, you'll need to open each project and manually locate the links to the media clips -- which is no fun. (Although, if the clips are all in the same folder on your drive, if you connect one clip, the program will recognize the others and automatically re-connect all of the clips for that project.)
