I'm unable to move a folder in the library viewer

In Aperture 3.1.2, in the Library viewer, under Projects & Albums, I have a bunch of folders (Personal, Research, Teaching, etc.), and these folders have sub-folders (2011, 2010, etc., as well as some with non-numeric names). With most of these folders I'm able to freely drag them around to put them in the order that I want. But there's at least one folder that stubbornly refuses to be moved. If I try to drag it to another position under the top-level folder (Personal), it just stays as the first folder under Personal. If I drag it to be a subfolder of one of the folders under Personal it will move to the new position, but if I drag it back out of there, to once again make it a sub-folder of Personal, it again insists on being the first folder in the list, no matter where I've actually dragged it to.
I have "keep arranged by" set to manual.
This seems like a bug to me. But I am fairly new to Aperture so maybe I am just missing something. Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!
regards,
Abe Z.

Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

    you should look in your applications folder to see if mail is still there. the dock icon is pointing to mail being in your applications folder. it has probably been moved or deleted for some reason from the app folder. do a spotlight search for your mail program. if it is still on your computer, move it back to the applications folder and when you click the question mark, it should see it is back and open. The email folder in your library shouldn't have to be touched. you need mail.app itself.

  • How can I clean out the recently bookmarked entries without removing the bookmarks from the folder in the library?

    When I click the star to bookmark a site it goes into the recently bookmarked area of the library. I then drag or cut or copy and past it into a folder I already have in the bookmark library, but it doesn't disappear from the recently bookmarked. If I delete it from the recent, it also gets deleted from the folder in the library.
    What can I do to keep it in the folder but remove it from recently bookmarked?

    No, currently there is not a way to do this.

    iTunes does not actively scan the media folders.  If you manually add content to a folder, then you must add that content to iTunes manually via the File > Add File/Folder feature.
    The only folder that gets scanned is the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder.

  • How do you create a new folder in the library folder

    How do you create a  new folder in the library?

    In the user Library? Open Finder and select Go then press the Option key. In the list you will see your user Library folder (underneath Home). Click it to open it. Now you can add a folder inside. You can left click/hold and drag the Library icon at the top of the Finder window to your Finder Sidebar so it's always avaliable.

  • Using font folder in the Library folder OSX10.2.8?

    Hi. I've checked postings and searched the database but couldn't find anything. This may be a dumb question. I work on OSX 10.2.8 Jaguar with OS9.22 (Classic). For Classic apps I use ATM Deluxe for font management. I don't have a font management program for OSX. Is it possible to drop the same fonts into the Fonts folder in the Library folder that are also loaded into ATM so that I can access them from both OSX and Classic? Thanks.
    Cathy

    If you want both OS X and Classic apps to see the same fonts, you place them in OS 9's /System Folder/Fonts/ folder. This is a big hassle though (as you likely already know) since you can't put subfolders of fonts in that folder. Meaning everything has to be tossed in loose, including Type 1 PostScript fonts. Deactivating them is harder. You can just drag the fonts back out, but once placed in its Fonts folder, Classic will not release fonts until you shut it down, even though they're not in the the Fonts folder any more.
    You current best bet at a replacement font manager is Master Juggler. It can open and close fonts simultaneously for OS X and 9 (Classic). Suitcase X and X1 did this, but the newest release, Fusion, does not.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • How do I move movie files to the Movie folder in the Library?

    I imported various kinds of media into iTunes on my PC and a couple of Movie files and a few TV Show files ended up in the Music folder. I cannot figure out how to move them to their correct folder. The files are listed correctly by iTunes under Get Info (ie. Quicktime Movie and/or TV)yet I can't move them from Music. Any way to fix this? Thanks.

    I believe you can only get movies from your iPhone's "Camera Roll"

  • Best way to move Users folder off the boot drive

    I read a couple of old threads regarding this topic, but I have some lingering questions...
    I'm awaiting my Mac Pro. I ordered it with one drive. I plan on adding two drives in a RAID 0 array for data (which will be backed up regularly, of course) as soon as I get the Mac.
    This is my first Mac, so I've got some questions (long time PC user as well as AIX & Linux user):
    1. Is it better to move the entire /Users folder or just selected /Users/<user_name> folders? I'm thinking it's safer to just move selected /Users/<user_name> folders (e.g. my "everyday" accoun'ts home directory, other family members' home folders, and the /Users/Shared folder). That way, in the event that I have a problem with my data drive (a RAID 0 array), I can login as an admin whose home folder is still in the boot drive and I won't have any problems logging in as that user when doing maintenance.
    2. Is it safe to move (and delete from the boot drive) the /Users/<user_name>/Library folder? Note that I plan on moving the home folders on a brand new Mac, but will things get messed up if I delete /Users/<user_name> folders from the boot drive once I've moved them to the RAID array?
    3. Are there any ill-behaved programs that expect Users to be in the boot drive, so I have to create a /Users/<user_name> soft link that points to the actual folder in the RAID array?
    4. I believe I found the steps suggested in Pogue's Mac OS X Missing Manual book (although it's in the context of moving the folder to an external drive). Basically, it entails running:
    a. sudo ditto -rsrc "/Users/<user_name>" "/Volumes/<thenewhome>"
    b. Then, in Accounts pane of System Preferences under Advanced Options, enter the new Home folder.
    c. Reboot and delete the original /Users/<user_name>
    Does this sound right? Seems really simple (much easier than in the Windows world).
    Thanks.

    Just wanted to clarify:
    1. Mike Bombich's method entails moving the entire /Users folder to another drive so everyone's home is moved?
    2. David Pogue's method (as described in the Missing Manual) only entails moving individual, selected home folders to another drive (and no soft links needed)?
    3. It sounds like Pogue's method is preferable anyway (for the paranoid at least), so if the 2nd drive dies or needs maintenance, I can still login as a user whose home folder is in the boot drive?
    4. So, if I use Pogue's method, all that is needed are the steps listed in my original post above, and nothing else?
    Thanks.

  • Unable to move videos taken with the iPhone from the phone to PC

    I am having difficulty moving videos from the iPhone to my PC. To be clear, I am talking about videos that were taken using the phone, _NOT videos downloaded to the phone_. I'm on a PC, I am using Scanner and Camera Wizard. I've been able to move videos to my PC in the past with no trouble. Now, the wizard gets to 100% progress, sits there for a full minute or more, then pops up a message saying it could not be copied. I've repeated the process each time getting the same results. This seems to have started after the last OS update. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I am having a similar issue with my Mom's iPhone 4. She has a PC. I was able to move the files off the iphone (dragging and dropping them from the folder to the file of photos). However, the issue now is to sync the photos and video (shot from the iphone) from the PC back to the iphone. It says that there isn't enough room to copy the files. There aren't that many photos/videos. When I uncheck the "include videos" it won't let me sync.

    Hi Reddy,
    If you are moving files in two libraries in different sites, then the error will occur and it is by design that there are limitations on the DAV move commands that the DAV client is respecting.

    If you are moving files in the same library, I recommend you to use Wireshark to reveal the error message and enable IIS
    Trace Logging for Failed Requests to examine the IIS log file for troubleshooting.

    To narrow down the issue scope, I recommend you to test with another library and see if the copy in explorer can work.

  • ITunes Shuts down if I click any folder in the Library

    I've searched the forumns thoroughly and have found many people with a "shut down" problem, however none specific to mine. iTunes version 7.0 shuts down automatically when i click on any of the folders in the Library category. I get no error message of any type. It takes nearly four or five reopens after the shutdown for me to able to access my music, movie or podcast library. Extremely frustrating. Any fixes????

    sounds a bit drastic but....you could erase all media from itunes ( not your pc/mac  ) then reload your library. this type of thing happens when you re-organise where your media is stored and then moved say to merge two mis-spelt prince folders into one properly but now different folder in roughly the same but not exactly the same place. ive done this a few times, im a bit sad about renaming music folders properly if i find them only to see itunes look past them because its looking for the original media files in the original folder/place...hope this helps a bit

  • Question about scrolling and Movie Clips Loaded from the Library

    I hope I am posting this in the right forum.
    Ok, I'm using actionscript 2.0, and I am trying to make a scrolling image gallery. I have a movie clip with three layers. the first contains a movie clip used as a scroll bar. The second is a mask used to hide the overflow content, and the third contains movie clip thumbnails. when I click one of the thumbnails, it loads a symbol containing a larger version of the picture over top of the thumbnails on the same layer. My problem is, the large image is added at the very top of the movie clip, even when it is scrolled out of sight. I want it to appear in sight, so the user doesn't have to scroll all the way back up to the top to see it. This is annoying and confusing. Is there a way to do this?
    Here is the code I used to create the scroll effect (there is actually a whole lot more to the code but it is very long, so I am not adding it now. I will if it is needed though) 
    (Oh, and there is no text involved in this. I just got this code off a tutorial and I haven't changed the variable names yet)
        var scrollUpper:Number = 58;
        var scrollLower:Number = 309;
        var textLower:Number = 60;
        var textUpper:Number = -179;
        var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;
        var textRange:Number = textLower - textUpper;
        var startY:Number = imagesHolder_mc.thumbs_mc._y;
        function scroll(){
           var moved:Number = imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc._y - scrollUpper;
           var pctMoved:Number = moved/scrollRange;
           var textMove:Number = pctMoved*textRange;
           imagesHolder_mc.thumbs_mc._y = textLower - textMove;
        imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc.onPress = function(){
           this.startDrag(false,this._x,scrollUpper,this._x,scrollLower);
           this.onMouseMove = scroll;
        imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc.onRelease = scroller_mc.onReleaseOutside = function(){
           this.stopDrag();
           this.onMouseMove = null}

    Thanks for your reply. I'll try to explain it better. I have a long, vertically scrolling movie clip. This movie clip contains lots of thumbnails. When I click a thumbnail, the full sized image is loaded from the library and displayed within the same movie clip. when I click the full size movie clip, it disappears again, and I can click another thumbnail to display another full size image. So I'm not just adding more and more stuff to the gallery if that's what you were thinking. I'm just clicking thumbnails to display the full size image so I can look at it, closing it, and moving on.
    But the full sized image is fixed at the very top of the scrolling movie clip, so if I click a thumbnail at the very bottom, I have to scroll all the way back up to the top to see the full size image. I just want the full size image to appear on screen no matter how far down I have scrolled to click a thumbnail.
    I made my basic gallery useing this tutorial:
    http://flashexplained.com/actionscript/making-the-ultimate-dynamic-image-gallery-in-flash- 8/
    if you want to take a look at that, to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
    Now I'm just trying to add some scrolling functionality, which wasn't included, but I don't really understand actionscript well enough to do this easily on my own.
    Sorry for the long reply. I hope this is clearer.
