How to view sub folders on Apple TV

I have Home Sharing turned on. I have a folder on my server that has my videos. I have sub folders in this make folder, such as Home Movies -> Kid 1 or Home Movies -> Kid 2.
When viewing these video files on my Apple TV's I see the content in the MAIN folder of Home Movies, however, I do NOT see my sub folders.
Is this possible? I like being neat and organized.
Thank you.

Nested folders aren't supported, try using workarounds such as TV shows, genres or playlists.

Using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

Isn't HotMail still POP3 mail only (i.e. no IMAP support)? If that is still the case, then your device is working correctly. The folders you made are a feature of the web tool for hotmail, and are not part of the POP3 supported email protocol. Only IMAP mail supports on-server mail subfolders, and those can be accessed from the iPhone mail client. But POP3 is limited to the inbox solely, as that is literally the only folder that sits on the mail server (your others are on Microsofts web server and supported via the web mail tool).

HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

How to view iOS requirement using Apple Search API

I'm currently using the Apple Search API to search AppStore content, and i want to view the iOS requirement for the seleceted apps that i have already searched, but i didn't see any field that show the iOS requirement for the apps, so how to view that?
Thanks in advance

I am surprised to say that I don't think this is possible. Which is strange because upon inspection of the JSON results there is a return key for EVERYTHING except target iOS version. I would imagine that this may be an oversight by apple. It does not make sense that I can search "supportedDevices", "isGameCenterEnabled", and "fileSizeBytes" but not minimum or target OS.

How to make sub folders in a share invisible to certain users?

Back in the 10.3 days simply setting the posix permissions so that certain users and groups had no access to a sub folder in a shared folder would make the folder invisible to those users and groups.
Flash forward to Snow Leopard, I'm trying to accomplish the same thing with ACLs, and I can't seem to do it, the folders are still visible with access denied badges. I read the ACL white paper that was on AFP548, and that suggested creating a deny full control ACE for groups that shouldn't have access, but that no longer seems to work the folders are still visible.
I've been fiddling with different ACL configurations, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I am running Mac OS X Server 10.6.4, and the clients are 10.6.4 as well.
Any help in figuring this out would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Apologies I do mean Others. What I normally do is set the POSIX Owner and Group to admin and Others to No Access. Both Permission models apply so you have to take that into account. Any created user is automatically made part of the built-in POSIX staff group (ID=20). That user is also part of Others. If you're trying to deny access for that user using ACLs only yet neglecting to change the POSIX Permission accordingly that user will still have access of some sort.
By setting the Others POSIX Permission to No Access at the Parent Folder level that user won't 'see' the Share. If you're trying to do this with a Nested Folder then that user will 'see' the folder but have no access. What they'll see is the red no entry sign folder icon.
Don't forget to propagate afterwards as well as removing or applying appropriate ACEs if your sharing structure involves nested folders. Server Admin's Interface (IMO) is actually OK with this although you could use the command line if you wish.
This is how it works for me and I rarely see any problems.

IOS 7: How to view shared calendars using apple Calendar server

We use an OS X Server with Calendar server. On OS X you can see shared (delegated) calendars in Calendar by selecting the them in the preferences.
Using iOS 6 one could view shared CalDAV calendars by adding the same account more than once each with a different server URL. A fair bit more work but once configured it worked like a charm.
The Calendar app on iOS 7 still does not show delegated or shared calendars using the Calendar server from Apple. Because iOS 7 does not allow to add a CalDAV account more than once the iOS 6 workaround is no longer possible.
How can I view shared Calendars on iOS 7?

How to view shows purchased using Apple TV on a Mac computer

Greetings,
I have purchased several shows while viewing my family TV and through Apple TV. I can replay those purchases on my family TV no problem (through Apple TV), however I cannot seem to find where those purchases reside so that I may view them on my computer workstation, or other Apple devices. I have iCloud but there is no listing of purchased content there, nor are those purchases listed in iTunes. I thought if content is purchased through Apple TV that it should be available to other devices.
Thanks,
Scott

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
Your daughter is too young to have an Apple ID because the minimum age is 13 years old. You can use her email address for FaceTime and Messages. You add the address as the contact address when you activate both of those apps. But both apps will still have to be tied to your Apple ID.
I was managing 5 different devices with one iTunes library and all devices had their own unique content on them. It is not that difficult to manage.
there is lots and lots of information out there on how to do this. Check some of these out for more information.

HT204088 How to view all of my apple transactions charged to my credit card

I've been seeing various charges to my itunes account each month, but I'm unable to locate "all transactions" history on my account. Help please.

You should be able to view the purchase history on your account as per the page that you posted from : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it, click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
If you are getting monthly charges then do you have any auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098 ?
And you only have the one iTunes account ? If you can't find the charges then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can identify them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

How to view hidden folders in Finder

Sometimes, it's not just folders, it's files too. Sometimes in non-mac sources, like my SMART TV, I see files named .filename.mp4 along with filename.mp4. And these fraudulent files are really bothering. And the worst part, I can't see them in Finder. So I need help to remove the .file.mp4.
I used the term 'filename.mp4' to represent an MP4 video file. But the files that have a . before them need to be deleted.
Thanks!!

As Jeff Shenk says, they are "Apple Double" format which Mac OS X uses when storing Mac files on a non-HFS+ file system. The ._ files contains the resource fork of a file. Some applications store additional information about a file in the resource fork. This could be things like font information, custom file icons, album art, track information, information about file formatting from a word processor, etc... This is no limit to what an app might store in a resource fork.
For future reference you can easily take Mac OS X screen shots using:
Command-Shift-3
- Capture entire screen
Command-Shift-4
- Drag to select copy region
Command-Shift-4-Space   - Capture Window under cursor
If you want a menu or pop-up, then do the
Command-Shift-4-Space
after the menu or pop-up is setup as you like it.
If you want to capture the screen shot to the Clipboard, then add the "Control" key to any of the above, and you can then paste the screen shot from the Clipboard into any app that accepts picture input.

HT2954 Unable to view original folders in Apple Mail.

I've recently added my hotmail account to Apple Mail but I'm unable to get the different folders that I created in hotmail to show up in Apple Mail. I was wondering if there is any way to do this.

The IMAP protocol replicates folders but the POP protocol only downloads the contents of the server's Inbox to the clients Inbox. Hotmail does not support IMAP - it only supports POP.
Options:
1 - Use Gmail - it supports POP and IMAP
2 - Move all messages (via web or other means) to the server's Inbox to download via POP protocol
IMPORTANT:
Some POP clients have default settings which delete from server without warning either initially or a few days later - typically 14 days. Find these settings and adjust as required.

How to create sub-folders containg my announcment list item's images , instead of saving all the images insdie a share folder

Today i have found this issue which i was not aware of. i have a team site collection, and inside this site collection i have an announcement App. now when users create announcement items and they insert pictures inside the items , all the images are going
to be saved inside the site asset folder , under the following shared folder :-
Site Assets>>Lists-->>"List Name"-->>AllItems
so in this case users might be adding images that have the same names and select to override existing file ,, so images in this way will start conflicting with each others. so is there away to force my announcement list to create sub-folder for each item
, and to store all the item related images inside it ?
for example in enterprise wiki site collection, each wiki page will have a sub-folder containing all its images... so can i have the same behavior inside my announcement list ?
Thanks.

Also i have noted something interesting , now when users attached files or images there are going to be stored under this directory:-
.../Attachments/41/
where 41 is the issue tracking item ID. so for attachments each item will have separate location so files with the same name inside different items will not conflict, which is great.
while if the user insert a picture inside the issue item such as:-
, it will be stored inside the shared folder under the "Site Assets" folder
Site Assets>>Lists-->>"List Name"-->>AllItems
,, so images with the same name from other items will get conflict between each others.
so attachments are being managed in the correct way, as each item will have separate location to store its attachments . while images inserted inside the item description, from all items are going to be stored inside the same folder !!! can anyone advice
??? this is a bug in SharePoint 2013 ?

FOLDERS, On/Off sub-folders pre-view issue (what do you think?)

Yes, I see the benifit of how LRv1 is showing all the subfolders in the Main Folder. and Yes, tomrock has a solution that works.
My problem is ... as LRv1 is now ... Folders as a File organizer does not show what is truely there. and can be somewhat confusing.
The other issue is for those that already have there folders organized.
What is logical ... and what you would "expect" to see in a Folders listing is exactly what is listed on Disk. (a true veiw).
Now for more power (choice) ... yes, a On/Off for "show all sub-folders" in this folder is great and useful ... but it should be a choice, NOT a requirement.
* In fact how I think it should work ... is you should be able to just go to ANY folder ... Right click and choose from a drop down menu ... turn On/Off the "show all sub-folders".
It's all about choice. (not that one way is better)
But, imho in order to File manage ... you NEED to at least start with the "true" veiw of what is on the your Disk (and be able to quickly and easily go back to it ... if you changed it)
* When is ever a actual view of your folders on your Hard Disk a bad thing? or should not be "at the very lesst" A CHOICE?
my little rant lol
HG
tomrock's work around ... it works ... I like it ... I just don't want to have to do it with all my folders I have aleady created.

It is weird that Adobe turned this off after the beta. Another "solution" is to make your folders like this:
Top level folder
--Raws
--Tiffs
--Jpegs
Of course, when you click the "Top level folder" you see everything and you have to open the triangle thingy to see the lower folders. I like this better than color coding files.
And at least you can do this in LR.

Brian,
GREAT TIP ... and easy ... love it.
Only two issues with LRv1 making you do it this way.
1) there "should" be a Quick and FAST way for you to SEE exacly what is there ... like an ON/Off switch that you can get to from "just" right clicking on the Folder
* at some point you just might want to see what is truly in your folders on your HD.
2) If LR is not going to do this ON/Off switch ... which I think would not be logical ... Adobe should at least put the MetaData browser sort on a Menu choice ... that drops when you Right mouse click on the Folder.
With that being said:
"Props" to Adobe, ... as I learn more about Stacking and Versions, Ctrl+E, and Export w/Actions within LRv1 ... I am "Seeing" the Logic of what they are doing.
It "will" change the way I work ... but, it will be for the better (I must admit) AND, I might "not" have changed if it was not for LRv1 forcing me to do so.
HG
Changing for the better ... kicking and screaming

Here is one more option if the top level is only raw or DNG and the sub folders are TIF and/or JPG.
Select the top level folder
Go to the Metadata Browser>File Type
Ctrl(Cmnd) click Raw or DNG
If you want to see more than one file type, but not all, just Ctrl click on the desired file type to add. To switch, repeat the Ctrl click on the file type you're done with.
I'm hoping they'll add a switch to control viewing sub folders again so I plan to do it this way for now rather than add a new empty folder at the base of each branch in my folder tree.
