How to organize icons?

I have almost four screens worth full of icons under "Applications"
I'd like to have all the game icons (shortcuts?) in one "Games" folder."
I'd like to have all my e-mail apps in one folder.
Etc.
You know, just like we do with our PCs.
How do I do that?
Thanks.

what phone do you have?
are you running the stock launcher?
this cannot be done on any stock phone that i am away of
i do think there are some launcher apps out there that do this
(i also belive is doable in plain android, remember phone manufacturers change it to thier liking)

  • How to organize Mail folders?

    Hello,
    I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to do something in Mac Mail (I'm on Mountain Lion with a MacBook Pro with Retina Display).
    In the past (pre-Mountain Lion), I had individual folders for each of my mail accounts. For example, I had a folder for Comcast mail, Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud, and Yahoo. In the left-hand column of the main Mail window, it was nicely organized so that there was the "main" folder for a particular email service, and then underneath that folder there would be other folders such as Sent, Trash, etc.
    However, the way it appears now is that there is one single "Inbox", and underneath that Inbox are MORE Inboxes, with each one being a different mail service. For example, under my Inbox, the next thing down is "POP Account", then "GMail", then iCloud". But they ALL fall under the main heading of "Inbox".
    I really don't care for it to be set up this way. I much prefer having a dedicated Inbox for each mail service, and then the various folders that relate only to that service underneath.
    I hope I'm describing this correctly. For years, it was set up the way that I liked it. I'm not sure when it self-changed to the way it is now, but I really don't care for it. I've gone through all of the menus and I can not figure out how to get it back to the way it was.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The “On My Mac” folder has never existed as such, neither in Mail 1.x nor in Mail 2.x. Mail uses that term to differentiate custom mailboxes stored locally on your computer from mailboxes stored on the server of IMAP accounts.
    In Mail 1.x such mailboxes appeared in the mailbox list grouped under an “On My Mac” icon, whether that’s how you wanted them to appear or not. In Mail 2.x, this changed to offer greater flexibility in how the user wants his/her custom mailboxes to be organized — see Mail Help’s “My mailbox organization was lost after upgrading Mac OS X” article. This allows the user to have multiple top-level “On My Mac” hierarchies, or name the group differently, or have custom mailboxes appear directly at the top level of the mailbox list for greater convenience, etc.
    To answer your question, no, you aren’t stuck with how Mail organizes custom mailboxes, but as you have found out, Mail has some bugs & glitches when it comes to reorganizing mailboxes, and you should make a back up of at least your ~/Library/Mail/ folder before start making changes, just in case.
    I sometimes reorganize my own custom mailboxes by renaming and/or moving them, and have never experienced any issues myself, so you should certainly be able to do things like that. There are only two things I recommend not doing in Mail when reorganizing mailboxes:
    1. Even though Mail allows it, don’t use a folder as both a mailbox (i.e. to store messages of its own) and as a parent folder for other folders.
    2. Never, ever, rename a folder just to change its capitalization. If you want to change from uppercase to lowercase or vice versa, rename the folder to something different first.
    A more thorough discussion of these issues, for those who might be interested, can be found in the following thread, for example:

  • How to organize in iPhoto 6???

    I need help organizing my pictures in iPhoto 6... When I need to send a picture or just browse in my directory of pictures I have to take a guess in which folder the picture i'm looking for is in. For example I have a "Modified" and "Originals" folder, then I have to open another folder for the year like "2005" or "2006" and after that there is the major problem : I have folder names like "Roll 1", "Roll 16", "Roll 32".... it takes too long to find a picture..
    Can somebody tell me tips and tricks on how to organize my pics so that I can find them easily while browsing my pictures folder???
    Thanks,
    cotjoey

    Hi cotjoey,
    First, you can always select the photo/photos within iPhoto and File>export them to the desktop, where you can then navigate to the desktop or folder on the desktop to upload or send the photos.
    Second, you can do some renaming of rolls within iPhoto.
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.

  • How to organize scanned documents on my mac

    I would like to find how to organize scanned documents on my mac so that they are cagorized and identifiable files

    I would change the file name from "Scan001" (or however your scanner saves them) to something helpful like HikingTrip1, HikingTrip2, etc. Then drag and drop them into folders you create with more names helpful to you. To quickly change a file name you can highlight the file icon and then single click on the file name portion and it will allow you to type. Is this what you meant?

  • How to organize my files folder?

    how to organize my files folder without being on my desktop? I'm used to window, is there a way to create a basic folder and then subdivide it from there, but where is the best place, easy access

    You can create a folder on the desktop if you wish, and then create folders within that folder, and folders within those folders ad infinitum.  However, if you open Finder (it's the leftmost icon on your dock and looks like a blue/white face) then you will see the Documents folder.  That is the logical place to store your files generally.  The same comment I made earlier about nesting folders within folders applies here too.

  • How to change icon of a Folder-track?

    By Folder-track I mean the Folder in Arrange window that is created from "packing reions". Is that even possible in LogicPro7 - to change it's icon?
    I mean I know how to change icons for my audio tracks, audio-instrument tracks. And it would be nice if I can assign different icons for different Folder-tracks.
    I did not find how to do that

    It is possible... use option-command-hold on the icon of the folder in a track in the arrange and up pops the many icons to choose from.
    You can set the icon to something other than the folder.
    To make different folders I guess you would have to do some image editing
    and make your own icons but that is pretty easy.
    Put your user create icons here...
    ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Images/Icons
    and logic will load your numbered image file instead of the default ones that
    Logic would normaly use.
    Note: 1.png is the file name of the regular folder icon.

  • How to organize the import statements in FXML Files?

    Hello,
    I'm a user of NetBeans IDE and it can organize the import statements in *.java files. Now, I'm using JavaFX and editing the *.fxml files as well. I want to know how to organize the import statements in *.fxml files?
    Thanks a lot.

    You should use Scene Builder, it will make all these import statements for you.
    Moreover, it will greatly simplify the writing of your FXML files, since you only have to Drag&Drop JavaFX objects on the scene. Then, it automatically generates FXML files.

  • 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.

  • Mine, her's & ours – how to organize photos in a multi-Mac family?

    Hi folks,
    from a quick search at Apple discussions I realize that my following problem is a very common, but essentially an unsolved one. So rather than a final solution, I'm looking for ideas and discussion on how to organize photos in a family setting…
    The problem started when my wife got her own MacBook a few weeks ago, and when we started having two iPhoto libraries instead of one. We do have some photos that can be definitely labeled as 'mine' or 'hers'. But how should we organize family photos? What if one of us wanted to just grab their MacBook and show off the kids' pictures to a friend?
    Duplicating photos involves a lot of manual extra work, and labels and keywords will inevitably run out of sync. If we keep photos on a network drive we can't just take them away from home. It seems like the problem is not just related to iPhoto, but to digital photography in general. Or is there another photo organizer – Aperture? Lightroom? Whatever else? – that serves families well?
    If you've faced this problem, I'd like to hear how you approached it.
    cheers
    Hendrik

    You could put an external HD connected to the TC. Then each time one of you take new photos upload them to a folder on your Desktop. Name the folder with the date of the shoot (this assumes that each of your delete the memory card in the camera after each shoot and upload) and a brief description like: 01/16/10-Aidan's 4th Bday Party. You can also rename the photos in the folder. I use the international date and a brief description: 2010-01-16-Aidans 4th-001.JPG, -002.JPG, etc. You an use a file renaming application likeRenamer4Mac orName Mangler to do the job.
    Next import the folder into your iPhoto. This will create an Event with the same name as the folder. Then drag the folder to the hard drive on the Time Capsule. Then each of you can view the folders on the external HD and import those folders which you don't have - or not.
    This will also act as a backup of the original files. I'm not sure what format the external HD needs to be to work in this manner but it shouldn't matter as long as you're only storing files. You can't run a iPhoto library from it if it isn't formatted OS X Extended (journaled). Also running a library wirelessly is fraught with problems like dropouts which can damage the database file.
    That way you will have 3 backup copies of your photos - actually 2 as the two libraries on the TC really only count as one since they are on the same drive.

  • How to organize documents in KM?

    Hi all,
    Can somebody comment on as how to organize the documents in KM.Is there any standard guideline to follow while creating folders and sub folders in KM so that while viewing a user will get a classified structure of documents which he/she can browse easily.
    thanx and regards,
    anuradha

    HI
    Repositories in KM can be organized on the basis of functional requirements and actually real time way of keeping the doccuments in folders structure  there is no such hard and fast rule .to make  user view a classified doccuments you can use KM Navigation Iview as well KM Doccument iviews for specific doccuments. Each KM Iview available in PCD has a specific purpose  which need to be studied throughly before implementing and when you create one it specifically states you the purpose of the iview and always remember the path property in any KM iview is important for doccuments to be displayed and navigated in the repository.
    Hope this helps u
