Identical folders being created when I sync a folder

This is strange error so bear with me as i try to explain it. This started when I upgraded to OS X 10.10 on my iMac 2013 with lightroom 5.6
All my pictures are stored on an external thunderbolt drive, a "Lacie" thats the drive name label thus in lightroom this is the Name as it appears in my folder Pane.
I use a third party app to import to copy my images from my camera to the computer. i then use lightroom to simply Sync a folder to import them into lightroom. i've been doing it like this for years, never had an issue.
Until today. note: I reverted to a previous backup catalog but same problem.
When I sync it will create an identical "Lacie" folder and sync files to this new location.
the expected result is if I sync a folder named '2014' that it simply sync files to this location instead it creates a new "Lacie" and puts the images there.
When I go to my original LAcie, it says they are 0 files int but when i show in finder all images are there??
why does lightroom create a new location? why is it identical name? and how do I remove it? i see no way to remove them.
I'm willing to start over again I guess but I'm unable to remove the older "lace" location hence in my Folders pane i have multiple "lace' and i see no way to remove them.
and if i start over again this might happen again so i'd like to know how to prevent this?
The external drive has not been removed, its always powered and connected.
i am unable to sync folders to my original 'lace' folder. when i sync on my original folder its detecting everything like it was never synced. if i say ok to this it puts it all into the new 'lace' folder, when clearly it should be syncing to the original 'lace' folder location.
any ideas whats going on here?

If you are using iPhoto or Aperture for Mac OS X, your photos automatically sort on your device in the same order in which they are sorted in iPhoto or Aperture. Changes made to the sorting of your pictures in your iPhoto or Aperture albums and events are reflected on the device after syncing.
If you are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, and if your device is using the latest software, it sorts photos in ascending order by the Date Modified when viewing all your photos together in the Photo Library (or Photos tab for iPad). When viewing a photo album, the photos are sorted alphanumerically by the photo file names.
iOS 4 and I believe the same for iOS 5 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. Specifically, your device uses the pictures' EXIF tags to determine the Date Taken information. Your device will look for the following EXIF tags within your pictures:
Capture Date
Date Time Digitized
Date Time Original
Last Modified
To change the sort order, you must change the Date Taken of photos on your computer. Third-party photo-management software may be able to do this. Refer to the documentation of your photo-management software for more information. In some cases, photos may not have a date in any of the above four EXIF tags, or photos may not support EXIF data (such as JPEG 2000, TIFF, PNG or GIF files). In this case, your device sorts these photos by the date the files themselves were created (as listed in the Date Created field in OS X Finder or Windows Explorer).

Photo folders being duplicated when I sync from iphoto using iTunes

I have lots of photos in albums and have only a few selected to sync with my iphone5 in itunes. The sync works ok, but I think I'm getting duplicates of the photos. Each folder I have selected shows up in the iphone PHOTOS app seprately, plus each photo shows up in the default PHOTO LIBRARY folder on the phone. I'm not sure if the photos are actually duplicated, but I thought the iphoto folders would be created as-is in the PHOTO LIBRARY folder? Am I reading the documentation wrong or am I doing something wrong? Are these photos on my phone twice, taking up extra storage?

That's the way it works, & there is nothing wrong. iPhone organizes photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos synced to your phone appear in your "Photo Library". The photos in the various albums/folders are not duplicates, rather they are pointers to the actual photos, which, again, are in your Photo Library.

Lightroom 4.3 Duplicate folders being created on import

Hi, is anyone else gaving issues with duplicate folders being created with Lightroom 4.3 on import?
When I import photos, they go to a folder with a name "XXX" for example.
The folder is in a hierarchy of "2013, March, XXX".
Lightroom creates a folder here and above 2013! It is making a mess of my library.
Also, when I import using Photo Mechanic (great software that just works!) and then do a "synchronize folder" in Lightroom, only 1 photo is transferred.
Is there a fix for these bugs?

It looks to me as though you've fallen victim to the "capitalisation" issue....in your Folders Panel your year folders names have the word "LIBRARY" in capitals, yet in the screenshot of the import dialog you are importing to "LR_Library_2013". I guess at some point you changed the capitalisation, and although the OS doesn't distinguish between the two formats, Lightroom unfortunately does.....so although all the images/sub-folders are within the one actual year folder, Lightroom sees them as two different parent folders.
So which one is the correct format as shown in Win Explorer? I'm guessing the lower-case version? If so, the quickest way to fix this is as follows:
1. Backup your catalog.
2. Create a root level folder on the C drive, call it whatever you want, say "Capitals Fix".
3. Right-click on the "LR_LIBRARY_2013" year folder in the Lightroom Folders Panel and select "Update Folder Location". In the file browser that then opens, browse to and select the "Capitals Fix" folder on the C drive.
4. Don't be alarmed as the 2013 folder will disappear from the Folders Panel, "Capitals Fix" will appear but all the sub-folders that were listed under 2013 will now have "?" marks.
5. Now right-click on "Capitals Fix" in the Folders Panel, and again choose "Update Folder Location". This time browse to and select the correct "LR_Library_2013" folder on the A drive. You may get a "Merge" dialog box, select "Merge" and everything should resolve itself.
6. Repeat if needed for the 2011 and 2012 year folders, though as you're likely not importing into there any longer you may not encounter the problem.

hi,
while activate the smart form, a function module is being created.
by using this function module we can pass the business data to the form.
in print program we can simply call the function module which has been created by smart form while it activate and pass required parameters to it.

Um... that does not contain "duplicates".
It's just a view that shows you everything that's in your other albums and events in one place...

Duplicate folders being created within folders

I am noticing that since we started using Contribute on our
website that duplicate folders are being created within the folder.
For example - I have a folder called Ministries. Inside Ministries
are three subfolders - Peru, Brazil & Mexico. I'll go in to
upload a page to the Mexico subfolder and find that the entire
Ministries folder has been duplicated inside the Ministries folder.
So instead of looking like this:
Ministries -
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
It looks like this:
Ministries -
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
Ministries
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
Has anyone else encountered this? I haven't been able to find
any coding issues that would account for this. I admit that I
probably just don't know enough to know where to look.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am unable to reproduce this issue when using Contribute.
Could you please check if that system is infected by any
virus?
Please look the following site:

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

User Home Directory not being created when "Create Home Now" button hit...

This is a cross post, since I was not sure where this should end up since it touches two pieces- Open Directory and User Management. Any help would be appreciated!
I am running OS X Server 10.5. All of my user accounts have been migrated over along with their home directories. Problem is that when creating new users and then assiging a home directory the system does not actually create the directory.
Currently all users are setup to have their home directory setup here:
afp://172.16.110.100/Users/'username'. The Users folder has been setup to automount, and all users that have folders can be accessed without issue.
The problem is when I create a new user, select the aft://172.16.110.100/Users option and then select "Create Home Now" button and save as it requests... it does not create the directories.
I have even tried to change the Home patch to make it local to see if it was an network issue, and used the /Users choice and it will not create the directory in that way either- both location go to the same place.
The system was obviously able to create the local admin account and directory admin account home folders without issue when the system was installed.
The permissions for the "Users" folder are as follow:
directory admin = Read and Write
local admin= Read and Write
system user (root)= Read and Write
admin group= Read Only
everyone group= Read Only
The system is in production, so any kind of server resets need to be done after 5pm, so I have not been able to reset AFP service.
Currently the only services running are AFP, SMB and Open Directory.
All users have their entire home directories located on the server, and login over Directory Access on their clients, so all user accounts are stored on the server. No one is having issues accessing their files or logging in.
I just can not create new home directories when I create new accounts.

You do not have to be logged on as the root user to do this. Launch the terminal and type-
sudo createhomedir -a
I run an XServe with Tiger server ( 10.4.11) and this has been the workaround I have been using.
Good luck.

Class not being created when running from jar

Hi all,
Tech info first:
IDE: Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8
Plaform: windows xp
I have created a Swing app, that connects to a com port(using the RXTXcomm). now, when I run the app in the IDE, everything is fine and dandy, but, when I run the jar file, the application loads, but the class in the app which deals with the com port is not created. here is the code:
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Make sure we have nice window decorations.
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        Main receiver = new Main();
        receiver.getPropertiesFromFile();
        //Create and set up the window.
        frame = new JFrame("R�FILOG RFID Empf�nger");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setContentPane(receiver.mainPanel);
        frame.setJMenuBar(receiver.createMenuBar());
        frame.addWindowListener(receiver);
        frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
        portListener = new RFIDReaderComm(receiver, "COM3");
        portListener.getConfiguration();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
portListener in the createAndShowGUI() function is an interface level parameter and is the class that is not being created. There is no error message.
If I move the two lines that deal with the port listener before the frame.pack() line, then the GUI is not even loaded, and when I view the processes in the task manager, the process starts and then quits without anything becoming visible. So from this I guess there is a problem with creating the class when running from a jar, but without any error messages, I have not a clue where to start...can anyone help?
thanks in advance.

Well, some more info, so maybe someone can come up with some tips for me...this is really important, and any help is greatly appreciated.
This is obviously a classpath problem. After running the my jar file with java -jar I finally got the error NoClassDefFoundError
Kind of obvious I suppose. But, I cannot seem to get the two jar files I need into the classpath. I have tried the following:
Updating my computers CLASSPATH with the relevant paths - not working
Trying to get the Sun Java Studio Enterprise to build the required jar files into the final package - cannot get this to work
Tried updating the manifest.mf in the following way:
Created a text file Manifest.txt with the lines:
Class-Path: RXTXcomm.jar
Class-Path: BrowserLauncher2-10rc4.jar
ran the command (in the same directory as Manifest.txt):
jar cfm RUFILOGScanner.jar Manifest.txt classes/*.class
but this does not work either. When I run: jar tf RUFILOGScanner.jar all I get is:
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
classes/
classes/CRCCalculator.class
classes/Main$1.class
classes/Main.class
classes/RFIDReaderComm.class
classes/URLDialog$1.class
classes/URLDialog$2.class
classes/URLDialog.class
the classes I want added are not there. Plus, (I think this is because I am running SE8) the manifest.mf is not in a folder called META-INF. In fact, I have no folder called META-INF. Is this significant?
Please, can anyone help me?

Folders being created inside movies ?

Forders keep being created inside movies. The label is (A Document Being Created By Stomputil). The title is the same each time except that a number is added to the end and increments up.
I Have not seen this before Yosomite.
IS this a cause for concern and what's this all about ? I have searched and found enough reference to Stomputil to think its not malware, but no reference to my case.

Duplicate 'invisible' photos are being created when I download from camera

Hi all,
Recently spotted a weird thing happening when I download images from my Nikon D200. I use Image Capture, but not sure if that's the problem. Hopefully you guys can help.
Basically, when burning a DVD of images for a friend, I noticed that if I dragged over the folder that contained the downloaded images, a new disc was created in Toast, and the disc size matched the size of the folder as seen in the Finder. However, if I created a blank disc and just copied over the folder contents themselves, not the actual folder, the disc size was 1.5GB smaller.
So, I fired up TinkerTool and turned on Invisible Files in the Finder, and was shocked to discover that throughout my hard drive, in the folders I download photos into from my camera there are duplicate invisible 'photos' with a period at the start of their name (rendering them invisible) that are the size of a full high res photo each - essentially doubling the size of the folder. If I delete a photo in the Finder, it's invisible counterpart doesn't get deleted with it - so what the heck are they? They're taking up GB upon GB upon GB of space on my drive and I can't even see them unless I use TinkerTool.

I am not a software engineer, but I doubt if these are left over temp files.
More than likely, capture keeps both - the original and the colour managed files. Why hidden, no idea. Maybe it's the camera telling it to do so, maybe some software can "see" both depending on the colour profile selected. Maybe, indeed it's a bug in the software. The best way to find out is to send a bug report and Apple will answer.
If you are using the Spyder you should not colour manage the images at all.
the only profile you should use it the Spyder one.
Colour profile is basically a "translator" of RGB colour values, which displays (and prints) the images with a specific "colour shift".
Each time you acquire an image there is an error built in into the image (no device is perfect), then when displayed on a screen, this screen will introduce another colour shift, then the printer will shift the colours again, and you may end up with wrong colours in the output; and that's where the calibration and colour profiling comes in.
Spyder will scan your screen and adjust it so that the colours are as true as possible. If will not fix any of the camera problems, but at least on a screen you get exactly the colours that the camera took.
(Calibrating a camera is normally not needed, but it can be done too.)
Now, if your screen in Spyder'ed (?) then any software you use to edit the shots in should be set to use the Spyder colour profile, otherwise, you'll not see the true representation of your colours.
When it comes to printing... don't even get me started Most commercial printing joints will supply you with their machine's profile, for home printers - trawl the Internet for the profiles or spend A LOT of money on print calibration.
I did check and I have no hidden files, I do not ask Capture to colour manage my shots.
I also never shoot JPEGs, RAW only. Later if I know I don't want an image for editing, but want to keep it, I dump it to a JPG and delete the RAW.
A silly question here, why not use the Nikon's provided software to download the pix?
Hope that helps a little.

New Layer Being Created When Timeline Effect Added

I am working on a Flash file in which I am adding a Timeline
Effect (5 frame fade out). Recently, instead of the transition
being applied to the layer, in the frame length specified, Flash
adds another layer with the standard 30 frames and it deletes the
content from the 5 frames where I'm trying to add the fade out. It
doesn't always do this. I had already successfully created a couple
of fade-ins at the beginning of the timeline, but once it starts
adding and deleting this stuff, it never goes back to normal. On
the layer in question, I have a keyframe with a graphic, the
graphic is stationary for 20 frames, then I inserted another
keyframe and tried to apply the Timeline Effect beginning there.
Help!!

Mystery Folders Being Created by Numbers (and Pages) on Server

Gentleones,
I'm running a Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 installation with multiple 10.9.1 clients. All clients are using iWork v. Latest and were all updated from 10.x and iWork '09. to get here.
When opening and then saving a Numbers (or Pages) document on the server, a folder with the same name as the original appears on the server. The contents look suspiciously like a bundle or package with the guts of the document in the folder.
The original document also gets modified when the document is saved.
Deleting the folder does not seem to affect the original document in any way.
It does this with alarming consistency.
Today, it exhibited a new behavior: a second document appeared with the same name. Though I wasn't able to see it on the server, several of the clients showed this second copy of the document. Others did not.
I have repaired permissions on the server and have ensured that all of the files and folders have "Read & Write" permissions for the root share point for "This folder, child folders, child files, all descendants". That I can tell, it's not a permission problem as each user can delete the mystery folder when it appears.
However, that said, I do have multiple users logging into the server using one username across several clients. That shouldn't cause a problem.
Users do not access the files in question at the same time.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Same problem here. Im running an OS X Mav Server 3.0.2 with shared folders over AFP. But for me it is not consistent at all. Sometimes it creates a "mystery folder" and sometimes not. It only happening with the iWork apps tho.
The other problem you were mentioning with duplicate folders in the client finder, but in server terminal (ssh) theres only 1 file, happened to me, but only 1 time.
I always thought it was related to autosave feature of iWork/os x, or file versions. I have turned of autosave on clients and server but problem still persist.
Could it be related to versions? I dont know for sure how to disable versions in the iWork apps, but it shouldnt be neccecary FFS.

New folders being created... Not by me

How can I stop iTunes from automatically changing the way I organize my folders. For example, I ripped a Johnny Cash greatest hits CD. I edited the songs in the folder and on iTunes to only say Johnny Cash as the artist, instead of Johnny Cash w/ June Carter. But anytime I update my library, it changes it all back and is very annoying and cumbersome to change all my folders back. I checked out the preferences part of iTunes and didnt see anything there to help, maybe I looked over it. Help!
Thanks!

Create a new folder on Desktop, open it, CMD+J, set it up the way you want: list view, click on name column, deselect size, click on always open in list view, etc., then click on Use as Defaults. OPTION-click and hold the Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch. Create a new folder and open it. It should have those settings you just made.

How to stop music folder from being created when changing media folder

When I try to change the media folder location, a new "music" folder is created - how do I stop this from happening (I already have a music folder that I want it to default to, but when I try to select it, it creates another music sub folder)
This is a new issue - I have been using itunes for years without ever having this problem...

That's how itunes 9 works, now. The top-level folder is considered the "Media" folder and there are music, podcast, movie, audiobook, etc subfolders.
Which is better in a way, since before itunes 9, everything was dumped in a music folder, even audiobooks that weren't music.
