I can no longer create folders for my bookmarks?

Mac OS 10.6.8 - FF 8.0.1
I have tried to create an additional folder for my bookmarked items and there seems to be no way to do so. Also there seems to be many changes that were unnecessary. Change just for the sake of change is not good without improvements.

Thanks Cor-el,
Who would have ever guessed? Why in the world do they change things up in such a state of confusion. I already have sidebars showing but who knew that is now where you create folders. I have easily created at least 70 folders in the past. It was so easy to go to the BOOKMARKS menu and select SHOW ALL BOOKMARKS which then showed BOOKMARKS MENU where you could edit or organize bookmarks including creating new folders.
That worked so someone thought ‘oh no’ we must change so my name will be on the change. I have been 6 months without being able to create bookmark folders.
Holding the 'cntrl' key down was a 'guess where we put it situation'.
Change is not good if there is no benefit to the change like maybe ‘more efficiency’.
Ease of use and simplicity are the keys to success.
Come on guys stay with what works.

Why can't I create FOLDERS under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading?

Note: I have my iTunes set to "MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC".
I can create Folders, subfolders and playlists under the PLAYLISTS heading.
Under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading, iTunes only lets me create a PlayList. No Folders.
Questions:
Do I need to AUTO sync to get the folder heirarchy and songs created under the PLAYLISTS heading onto the iPod?
How do I create a Folder under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading? This appears to be a bug and/or another iTunes limitation. I tried it and whenever a new folder is seleted, the folder appears under the PLAYLISTS.

*Why are you creating playlists for albums and artists?*
Why is that relevant? This is an Apple product which, historically, has allowed its users to file information any way they saw fit! Why suddenly impose arbitrary restrictions on how I organize my own data?
+The earlier version of iTunes DID allow you to create folders in the iPod+
*Only when autosycning*
*You can be frustrated all you want but the feature has not been removed.*
Yes the feature HAS BEEN removed. I currently am holding a prior generation nano in my hand which, in iTunes 6, allows me to MANUALLY create folders in it and drag playlists to the folders. I can nest folders and create any hierarchy I want. Since I am doing it MANUALLY, I can use the same ipod on several computers and collect selected audio files from each of those computers. The new version of iPod/iTunes simply has REMOVED this feaure and it is now only available if you autosynch. Like I said, I currently have free use of folders on an older gen ipod in MANUAL mode.
The software is too concerned with whether you are pirating copyrighted material and does not at all take into account LEGAL use of the iPod! As a matter of fact, I use the iPod to store audio tracks of live presentations and need an easy way to archive these on a single ipod from several computers. The most efficiient way to do this is to MANUALLY transfer the files from each computer to the iPod, and put them in their corresponding folders on the iPod. I have been doing this for over a year on the previous generation nano and iTunes 6 with no sweat. But new iPod required 7.5 iTunes and I can no longer create folders on the iPod in manual mode. This requires a long linear stream of playlists that cannot be organized into category, computer of origin, etc. As such, I can no longeruse the new iPod for my very simple application of archiving/playing non-copyrighted audio files which have no prior id3 info.

Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing. They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera. If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac, follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.) On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted. If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
Here are some more ideas you can consider:
Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be. They may be visible there now.
If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used. Spotlight may give you a list of places to look. If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images. My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types.
You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search. The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility" choice.
debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large. For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks. Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7). You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files. If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images. However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied. To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
You're most welcome.
If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Create folders for other users

I have a process that automatically generates folders based on events in the database using Advanced Queues. This process will work if I am creating folders for the user I am currently connected as.
What I can't seem to do is use the system admin account to create folders in other users home folders. I get insufficient privilege errors when I use findPublicObject to return the users home directory. This seems to happen because the users home folder has a private ACL, it works if I make the home folder public but I don't really want to do that.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Sure, here are two suggestions.
1. If you want to create the folders in response to the AQ messages, and you want to do so independently of your application's normal security policies, you can use the system admin user to perform the operations, as long as you enable administration mode. Use LibrarySession.setAdministrationMode(true) to do this. Security will be bypassed until you turn this mode off.
2. If you want to make the changes within the concept of your application security model, then modify the model so that your system admin user has access to everything that it needs to be able to update or delete. You can do this by modifying the ACLs on the objects in question.

I have premier elements 9. I can no longer create videos. Is it because of upgrade? Please tell me what to do. TY

When I open elements 9- to create a new video- it is now just a blank, black/gray screen. I can no longer create videos. I can't upload from computer, etc. Is this from the new download of Rebel?
Please tell me what to do, where to go. I realize this is an old version- but I liked it and it was easy to use....Am I required to purchase another version now?

smokeymountainwedding
You need to explain your situation further so we are clear on how to answer your question.
1. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? Have you been and are you now running the program
as the 9.0.1 Update? When you the last time that you used this program successfully for one of your video productions?
2. Are you trying to import video from the Canon EOS Rebel t3i or another model into Premiere Elements 9 workspace?
From what I have read, the camera records with a MPEG4 video compression and has a .mov file extension. Is that true? What camera setting are you using 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720, or other? And, what does it say for frames per second?
So, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.
Bottom line: are you using the same computer, same Premiere Elements 9, same Canon footage, that worked before and now it is not working?
And, please clarify...important....do you meet this problem even before you try to import your Canon video into a project?
When you open the program from its desktop icon, are you left facing a gray window with menu names across the top that will not open?
Lots of questions, lots of answers needed.
Your details will help us to help you.
Thank you.

How do I create folders for variuos apps i.e health, news etc.

How do I create folders for variuos apps i.e health, news, sports etc.

Tap and hold down on an app con until it begins to "wiggle", then drag one app icon on top of another app icon to create the folder. Move as many apps as you like into that folder. When you are done, tap the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
You can also name the folder whatever you want to in the white text field that will pop up when the folder is created.

Unable to create folders for apps on springboard

I was successful at creating folders for one of my sons on his Ipod Touch, but my other son's Ipod won't allow me to do it. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on or off or what? With my sucessful situation, I simply held my finger on one of the apps on the springboard until they all got wiggly, and, therefore, moveable. I drag one app on top of another and was able to create a folder for the 2 (i.e., zombie games). I did the same thing on my other son's Ipod and the apps would not go on top of each other, would simply replace each other in the order they were on the springboard. I hope someone can help...

Creating folders for "To Do" in mac mail

How do I create folders for "To Do's" in mail? I have multiple "To Do's" and they can get a bit confusing and difficult to shuffle through. I can't for the life of me figure out how to place them into folders. I can place individual "Notes" into folders but not "To Do's"

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
As far as I know you can't move To Do's to different folders. Nevertheless, where a specific To Do is stored depends on where you've created it. If you are using an IMAP email-account and have it selected in the sidebar of Apple Mail when clicking on the To Do button of Mail, the To Do will be created and stored in the folder "Apple Mail To Do" on the server. Note that at the same time a calendar, labeled after your account, will be created in iCal.

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes

I can no longer create groups that contain subgroups??

Folks,
I used to be able to create a group, drag existing subgroups and individuals into that group, and send emails to all by simply typing the group name into Mail.
I can no longer do this.
Now, to be precise. I can create what looks like a group and by dragging existing subgroups into it -- but it no longer functions as a group. When I type the name or drag it (from Contacts) into the "To:" line of Mail, the only thing that shows up are the top-level individuals (i.e., those who I put dragged in as individuals, not those who are only in one of the subgroups that I dragged in).
If I create a group that only has subgroups (i.e., no individuals at the top level, only individuals who are members of one or more of the included subgroups) then after I type the group name in the "To:" line of mail, the group name dissappears, and nothing appears in Mail's "To:" line.
The actual behavior is a little more subtle than this but the bottom line is that I can no longer create groups with subgroups.
Help!!

I can no longer edit information for streaming files in Get Info.

I can no longer edit information for streaming files in Get Info.

Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

I can no longer create a new folder on my desktop

Both my boyfriend and I have searched ad nauseum and cannot find out why I can no longer create a new folder on my desktop. When we try, we get an error message that says "the operation can't be completed because you don't have the necessary permission" (a Finder pop-up error message). I am the administrator and logged in as such. Anyone have any idea where in Settings, etc., that we can change this? Thanks.

Click on the Desktop and press command-I (Get Info).
Expand the General section of the Info window and be sure the Locked checkbox is unchecked.
If this is OK, then look at the Sharing & Permissions section at the bottom. Tell us everything you see there, or post a screenshot.
