HT1473 I have Windows, and opening a folder is no longer an option in iTunes. What do I do?

For some reason, iTunes isn't finding my music anymore, so I am trying to get iTunes to realize where my backup music is. I've also tried physically moving all of the songs into the iTunes media folder and telling iTunes to organize it. Because iTunes in the past organized music into individual artist files, it seems the only option is to go into each file folder and open the songs by hand. Can I avoid this?

Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows)
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.

Folder icons keep reappearing whenever I make a new bookmark. closing window and opening new one eliminates them again. is there a fix for this?

I asked this question months ago but have received no replies. I ran the original de-iconizer but as soon as I select "Bookmark this page" all the folder icons reappear. I can close the window and open a new one to get a de-iconized browser window but am looking for a fix for this.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Firefox 4.01 downloads files but the downloads windows greys out the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options and I can't trace the files

Three days ago I upgraded to Firefox 4.01. I downloaded several files that were ok. Yesterday and today I downloaded one powerpoint file and a an apple *.dmg file.
On the Download window these two files I can see with the total mb in size. However when I right click the file list in the Download window the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options are greyed out. What is more I cannot find these files anywhere on my computer when I use Windows Explorer to search.
It seems that this happened after I tried to download a Firefox add on from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/64761/amazonassist-0.7.2.6-fx.xpi and my antivirus picked up the JS/Kryptik.AK trojan and terminated the connection. Is there a link with the problem I am experiencing?
I use Windows 7 professional, Firefox 4.01

You're welcome

Why do my animated themes only work the first time I open the window? Every one that I have tried stops animating if I close the window and open a new one.

The headline pretty much sums up my problem. Basically, I picked a few different animated themes to try out in the Add-Ons section to personalize my browser window. They look great initially, and in the window that is open when I actually enable the theme. However, if I close that window and open a new one, the theme is stationary and no longer animates.

Sorry......I was just too impulsive. ( Maybe because it was 4 AM at Taiwan, and I was still trying to solve the problem= = )
Although to install the add-on "Personas Shuffler" can solve the problem to me, I don't think it was the BEST solution. This evening, I read why the add-on "Personas Shuffler" was made, and found that the BEST solution is:
1. Open a new tab, and type "about:config" at the URL bar, then search for "lightweightthemes" with the filter.
2. Change the values of "lightweightThemes.persisted.footerURL" and "lightweightThemes.persisted.headerURL" from true to false( by double click on them).
3. After doing so, restart Firefox and you will see it works! You don't have to install any add-on.

TA21041 I can not open some folders and get not have permission to open the folder

I can not open some folders and recieve the message: you do not have permission to open this folder. how I can solve it?

Select that folder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself read access under Sharing & Permissions. This shouldn't be done on folders in system directories.

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

My downloads through Firefox don't actually download - "Open" and "Open containing folder" and greyed out when I right click the downloads in the downloads menu

I've had this problem for quite a while. The downloads don't actually download. Nothing comes up in my downloads folder (and I've checked where they are supposed to be stored, I am checking the right place). In my downloads popup through the Firefox client, if I right click any download, both "Open" and "Open containing folder" are greyed out. I have tried using both Firefox 18 and the current Nightly client, and have reinstalled multiple times.

Maybe this will look like a "take aspirin" suggestion, but based on experience so far, The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

HTML-DB OAE Javascript to close current window and open a new window

Hi everybody,
We work with 1.6.
What we want is to close the current window and open a new window with the URL mentionned in the window.open('http://www.cf.qc/pls/portal/PORTAL.....,'newwindow').
The new window opening fires only once although we call it many times.
Our javascript is:
function closeTest()
{ alert('closeTest');
if('&REQUEST.'=='QUITTER2'){
w = window.self;
w.opener = w;
w.close();
window.open('http://www.cf.qc/pls/portal/PORTAL.home','newwindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
We call it on our application attributes :
OnLoad="closeTest()"
Thanks. Bye.

Try this on for size:
I have included two functions.
windowRebuild() - opens a new window, maximizes it based on the screen size, removes all toolbars, and then closes the old window.
myLocation(appName, pageName) - builds a url referencing an HTMLDB application, specfic to what server you are currently on. Very useful when you have an application on 3 different servers(dev, test, prod servers), you wouldn't want the server name hardcoded if you plan to export the app to another server.
Also, you need to be careful when using &APP_ID. I am not completely certain how that is resolved at runtime, but I've found it only works when the javascript is in the HTML Header of a page and not stored in the template of the page.
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
This functions is for internal application use.
Examples of myLocation:
url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'APP_PUBLIC_PAGE');
url = myLocation('MY_APP_ALIAS', 'MY_PAGE_ALIAS');
url = myLocation('184', '10');
function myLocation(myApp, myPage){
var myHost = location.host;
var newURL;
newURL = 'http://'+myHost+'/pls/htmldb/f?p='+myApp.toString()+':'+myPage.toString();
return newURL;
/* Function windowRebuild()
*   This function will open a new window and close the old window.
*   This function will also maximize the new window and remove all toolbars.
function windowRebuild(){
   if(window.name != 'myAppWin'){
    var url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'PAGE_ALIAS');
    var myWin = window.open(url,'myAppWin','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,status=1,resizable=1,location=0');
    window.opener = 'x';
    window.close();
   if(window.name == 'myAppWin'){
    window.moveTo(0,0);
    window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</script>Let me know if that works or you need some more explanation.

When i use view as list in finder and open a folder with many files i cant right click with mouse without selecting or highlighting a file....i just want to right click to paste an item or create a new folder...what can i do?

When i use view as list in finder and open a folder with many files i cant right click with mouse without selecting or highlighting a file....i just want to right click to paste an item or create a new folder...what can i do?

Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

Everytime I click on one of my app tabs it removes it form that brower window and opens it in a new window! how do I get it to work right?

Clicking on an app tab shouldn't remove it from that browser window but it does, seems to sort of defeat the purpose of App Tabs in my opinion. then I have to drag the new tab back into the other browser window and then it works for a little while correctly.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window.<br />
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.<br />

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way I can proceed is if either restart Firefox (very annoying) or reduce the window and open it again. Please help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I want to install a third operating system on my macbook pro. I already have windows and i want install unix or linux in there. Is it possible??

I want to install a third operating system on my macbook pro. I already have windows and i want install unix or linux in there. Is it possible??

Yes, it's possible, but if your Windows system is on a Boot Camp partition then you have to first remove it. Then create however many partitions you want for the operating systems. You have OS X on one, so you need two more - one for Windows and one for Linux. You then install Windows and Linux separately to their respective partitions. Download rEFIt
Use it as the replacement bootloader so you can properly boot from each OS properly.

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.
