HT201737 how to move files into a finder folder

how do I move files into an existing folder in finder on MacBook Pro?

I am attempting to move some EXEL files that have been saved as documents. When I open finder, these files do not appear in the recent, or last 30 days section so I need to search fro them. When they are found they are not on the page where the folder exists so I don't seem to be able to drag them to the folder.

How to move documents into a new folder in Pages for iPad

I have several files in a folder in Pages on my, and want to move some of them into a new folder. How can I do that? Thank you.

Trying to move files into a new folder and th finder folders disappear and show latest open application

I did not have this problem running the beta. I upgraded to the shipping version yesterday and whenever I try to move a file or application into another folder, both folders disappear, the desktop screen flashes, then I see the finder folders behind whatever application I had open last sitting on top of the finder window. If I let go of the mouse nothing moves and the windows close.

I'm having the same or similar issue... I think... trying to do a little house cleaning in the file structure. For example, in our events folder I'm creating archive folders (i.e. - 2004, 2005, ect...) and when I use the Files Panel to drag and drop the past event pages into the newly created archive folder, the pages loose all their links.
Image link prior to and after moving are the same (../images/logo1.gif)
It does ask me to confirm that I want to move the file but nothing about updating the links. Is it due to the way the files are linked in the original files?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

How can I import .mov file into dvd studio pro?

Hi,
I have a .mov file and want to but a dvd with menu and chapters. But when I try to import the .mov file into dvd studio pro it says Incompatible format. How can I import my .mov file in to dvd studio pro?

Two ways…
Transcode into a codec like Pro Res, import into DVDSP and let it do the encoding.
Or better yet:
Import into Compressor, choose a DVD preset and let Compressor encode. It will make two files, separate video and audio files. Import those into DVDSP.
Good luck.

How do I import .mov files into iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes?

This is just a hunch - are they AVCHD? What type of camera/camcorder are they from?

There are many more hits if you do a search in the forums on those.
If they are not, then post back with camera info including what it says in the specs about the file forumat it shoots video in.

Trouble exporting any mov files into H264 after adding K-Lite codec pack into Windows XP SP3.

I have QuickTime 7.7 (1680.34) installed. I have used it extensively and exported the video separate from the audio and extracted and used filters and it has all worked great with all of the other codecs I have had installed. It even worked great after I recently installed this K-Lite codec pack that actually saved files in a *.hdmov file type and I was able to view them with the Media Player Classic .... (I have Windows XP update 3) and see what I could do over there and then go back to saving them as *.mov file types and work in QuickTime Pro. And still export them relatively fast to their latest H264 format.
I gave more file types to the Media Player Classic. I think along the line of the just the *.3g2 and *.mp4 and took them away from QuickTime but still keeping the *.mov, *.qt and *.mqv file types .... and that is when I think everything must have changed. all of a sudden I can not save any *.hdmov files and the export process in QuickTime takes longer than forever.
I thought that I had reconfigured Media Player Classic back to its default ....
and it should all go back to being how it was.
Is there some Direct Show filter or codec that upsets QuickTime Pro ... that I might have not reset back to what it was?
Any codec help would be much appreciated.
This is what the K-Lite site says in one instance about H264:
If the video that you are playing contains H.264 video, then you could try using another decoder. The codec pack by default uses ffdshow for decoding H.264 video. This is a free and open-source decoder. Other decoders exist that have better performance as ffdshow. They should give you smoother playback, specially if you have a dual-core or quad-core processor.
Alternative H.264 decoders are:
CoreAVC. This decoder is unfortunately not available for free.
DivX H.264 decoder. This decoder is available for free as part of the DivX Bundle. Tip: disable everything in the bundle except the H.264 decoder.
ffmpeg-mt. This is an experimental multi-threaded version of the libavcodec decoding library, which is used by ffdshow. You can select ffmpeg-mt as decoder in ffdshow video decoder configuration.
MPC DXVA H.264 decoder. This is an internal decoder of Media Player Classic Homecinema. It uses your graphics card to perform most of the decoding process, resulting is a very low CPU usage. You can enable this decoder though: MPC Options -> Internal Filters. Note: this decoder has some specific requirements.
I downloaded the DivX bundle and will pull out that codec. I bought the CoreAVC for $13 but Norton said it was a risky file when I downloaded it ... (I have a question into the site about that) and I will try the ffmpeg-mt codec as well as see what they say about the last one. I will also try to undo everything I did that happened I guess before QuickTime started to export so slow that it is not even worth it to try and convert a mov file into H264.
Sorry so long ... I just was trying to lay out the things I have attempted, will attempt to try and improve the situation.
Thanks again very much if anyone makes it thru this ... geez .. sorry.

Hello Tim,
I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
install SP1 yet.
After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
To my surprise, it happened a gain.
It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
advise?
Thanks

Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not

Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not. There are hundreds of what it thinks are duplicates. How can I get it to let me put them all into a folder and create unique names? If I do one file at a time, it gives me the option to keep both files. But not when I am moving hundreds at a time.

A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.

Can't move files into folders more than one time.

I'm having a strange problem. If I try and drag a file into a folder then it will allow me to do that, but only once. If I try to drag another file into the same folder then it is locked. I can drag it into a different folder, but the same thing happens, I can move a file into the new folder but not a 2nd file, but it is locked. I have to restart to "unlock" these folders, but the same things happens over and over again. I can move a single file into a folder, but after that it locks up and I have to restart.
Any ideas why this is happening? It only happens in bridge, I'm able to move files freely in Finder.
Thanks!

I can't find a permission setting that would only allow a single file to be moved to a folder
Don't know if you already tried but use a check and repair permissions on your Mac using either Apple Disk Utility (applications / utilities) or a third party like Cocktail.
If still the same happens restart bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences.
When the problem still exist please provide more details about OS and Bridge versions as well as computer specs.

Drag and drop simple ".mov" files, into 2 dif. browsers, no longer working

-
Did something, that caused my main drag and drop, of simple ".mov" files, into 2 different browsers - "Safari", Version 3.0.4, and "Camino", Version 1.6.8, .. to stop working.
To be clear, this is regarding, just some simply ".mov" files which I have generated. (Individual hourly, weather images - like; in sequence. Generated, in / with, QuickTime - itself.)
At this point, where dropped from a folder, into "Camino", .. it routes these back to my main desktop. - (Before the problem, .. played them, in browser.)
"Safari", only brings up the folder that the main file is in — within a separate folder window.
(As with "Camino", played these in browser, previously.)
(Have gone into "preferences", either browser, .. and can't figure things from there.)
Problem occurred follow two different downloads / installations
"DjVu Browser Plug-in"
http://www.caminova.net/en/downloads/download.aspx?id=1
and, ..
"Flash Player" (.. for Mac OS 10.4 - 10.5)

Have tried, either "uninstalling", .. or "trashing" these.
(Uninstalled, "Flash Played" - with specific "Uninstalled" app.. / "Trashed" "DjVu Browser Plug-in".)
Any help, certainly appreciated.

Just looking to try to find out what I can do, either whether to "back-off" from what I've done - more recently, regarding the two different downloads that I've pointed to above, .. apparently - only, having, superseded a more simply configuration .. previously working.
This, or either, adjust the settings - broader / somewhere (more generally) - otherwise, .. in order to have these files, play, .. in browser.

Importing .mov files--can't find them!!!!

Wrapping .mov files into swf

Hey everybody-
Does anyone know how to wrap a .mov file into a swf?
I appreciate your time.

The video file itself will be deployed to a server, so when I go through the 'import video' process, I have to reference it by source (http://example/example.mov).
When I just test it locally, with the video located on my local machine, it works. But when I try to refer it, it doesn't work.
Sorry if I'm making this confusing.

Break .mov file into multiple jpeg files

Hello all,
I've already put together a program that jams multiple jpegs into a .mov file, but is it possible to do the same thing in reverse?
I have a .mov file captured from a camera. I need to decompose it into a ton of jpegs.
the purpose is that I have a real-world video file of an event occuring. I have a computer simulation of the same event. I want to overlay the two into a single video.
My basic plan was to decompose the real-world .mov file into jpegs, then take each individual jpeg and draw my simulation stuff on top of it. Then I would combine it all back together into a movie again.
Another possibility...somehow use processors? I'm not sure how to do all that and I think this solution is simpler if I can somehow figure out how to split the file.
Thanks for you input.

I just finished doing it with Robot. It worked, it even has the proper number of frames, but I fear some of them were indeed duplicated/dropped.Okay. Now run Crysis in the background and and run your program... ;-)
captfoss...how did you ever become so knowledgeable? Is it your job to answer these forums?
I'm just very impressed, is all.About a year ago, I thought up the idea of creating a web site where musicians / music fans could go, create a chatroom, and pay music for people live over the net. Through the course of research, I found out that the only 2 ways of doing an application like that were JMF or Adobe Flex/Flash... Seeing as how I'm a Java coder by profession (and hate Flash applications), the choice of which to go with was easy...
And then I realized that JMF is, on the surface, quite complicated and while these Sun forums are full of experts on just about everything else, there weren't really any JMF experts. So I sat down, went through the JMF example code peice by peice, wrote out the components, figured out what each one did, and I wrote my application from scratch. I wanted to make sure I understood my app, of course, and wasn't just throwing out something "that worked" because, well, all those years of college told me that's a bad plan.
Anyway, I figured out the nuts and bolts of my project, and then just started trying to answer the questions on this forum that were going unanswered...and that's how I become so knowledgable, because with something like JMF, whenever you work with someone, a lot of times you learn nearly as much as they do.
Plus, I most just like helping people and JMF had a giant opening for a resident expert...

Problem importing MOV files into iPhoto

I am getting an error when importing my iPhone mov files into iPhoto -- "The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format". However the file plays ok with Quicktime.
Can someone help me with this? Its a brand new mac and I have the latest iPhoto too.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
