Import Folder Does Not Appear

I have just created a new user account on my Mac (because of a keychain issue that I couldn't resolve) and am trying to import the mailboxes over from my old user account. I moved all the mailboxes from within olduser/library/mail/mailboxes to newuser/public/dropbox. When I login as newuser I can see them there in the finder (with a red 'no access' sign). I open mail and import mailboxes from 'Mail for OSX' adn select the dropbox. I get a list of all the mailboxes (ticked). I click continue and get a message saying "You can find the imported mailboxes in a folder named "import" in the mailboxes list". But No such folder is to be seen.
Any one have any suggestions?

Hi Tom,
I think you've got an easy Fix here...
In the Finder, do a Get info on those/that Folder, then look at the bottom of that window for Ownership & Perissions, expand the Details triangle, unlock the Lock, then change the Owner to the New You with R&W privileges, hit the Apply to enclosed item... try to Import again!

  • Folder does not appear in keynote on iPad after syncing

    After syncing a keynote file through iTunes, it appears in iTunes on my mac book pro but the folder of imported files does not appear in keynote on my iPad. I have tried creating file names with no spaces and using .key suffix, no joy. any ideas?
    Thanks

    you dont see that folder. It is a holding place for files. you import into the app using the "copy from itunes" command in the main file view of the app. (the little button that looks like an arrow pointing into an empty box will bring it up.)
    Your just copying from that folder you see in itunes. I use it as a location to "back up" my work as well. just "send to itunes" and you have a copy of your current state in the folder.

  • I have selected to have photos in my icloud but the photo folder does not appear.

    I have selected to have photos in my icloud but the photo folder does not appear in icloud. There are many folders, like mail, but none for photos.

    You can see photo stream photos on icloud.com.  You can only see them on an iOS device or computer that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled.  If you want to see them on the web, you would have to add the photos to a shared stream using the public website option enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  This gives you a private url allowing you to view them from any computer browser.

  • REPORTS folder does not appear when refreshing dynamic templates

    Hi all,
    I got one issue when refreshing dynamic templates. For one application, the REPORTS folder does not appear under Eexcel folder.
    It works well on my quality environment, but it fails on production server.
    It seems there is no differences in security settings, SP version...
    I already tried deleting Outlooksoft folder, clear and refresh local folder in client options...
    I must miss something but I dont know what to check anymore.
    Any suggestion is welcome.
    Thanks
    Antoine

    Hi Neil,
    I do not have issue with what you mention, everything is ok in Webfolder.
    The problem is in the local folder of every user in My Documents folder.
    There is a folder Outlooksoft there that is refreshed automatically after connecting to BPC.
    Every reports under REPORTS\WIZARDS should be there. Users need to access this folder to open a specific report.
    What is strange is that it looks that it works for some users, but does not work for some other users...
    Might be security settings?

  • Folder does not appear to point to site

    Since the update (2014.2 or so) I get this alert:
    Folder "/ccc" does not appear to point to site "www.fastertrack.com".
    [Ignore]    [Fix]*
    Aside from being a slight nuisance there appears to be no effect on the resulting uploaded site. I tried with both "/ccc" and "ccc" (note "ccc" is the name of a site hosted on my hosting temporarily (Community Cancer Care)).
    What does this mean? If I click [Ignore] it proceeds and if I click [Fix] it bouces me back to the FTP screen. I don't think it's affecting other sites I have made.
    Thanks
    *I'm representing buttons here encapsulated with [ ]

    Roger that folks. Same issues here with a recent upload. I did push the site up to BC (business catalyst) and it all works fine. I have not yet tried to clear my cache. I am hosted through IPage. Sometimes it can take a bit to "refresh" content, but it has been almost a day since I made a few changes to the site. When I preview the html files in my folder on my server that Muse says are not pointing to the URL, the page also displays properly with the new changes. So, the folder is certainly in my directory. Technology...you have to love it, right?

  • New Folder does not appear on menu--how do I create new folders?

    Hey ems6,
    You might need to copy the installer to the USB disk on another computer.
    Hope that helps.

  • Home folder does not appear when trying to restore it from a backup

    Hello Macintosh community, I hope you can shed some light on this very strange behavior I am experiencing when trying to recover a User's home directory from a Backup archive.
    Recently, my MacBook internal hard disk stopped working (hardware failure of the disk itself, it does not spin any more). I had been making regular backups of the entire internal disk to an external hard disk.
    I went to an Apple reseller and had them put in a new internal hard drive, and also purchased MacOS 10.5, which was installed on this internal drive.
    I then installed Backup 3 onto this 10.5 system, and mounted the external drive with the backup to restore the contents of my home directory.
    However, when opening the Backup application and trying to restore, it shows the entire contents of the hard disk to be restored, EXCEPT my home directory. Home directories of other users are visible, just not mine. So, Backup is effectively not able to restore my home directory.
    In an attempt to restore other information, I decided to try to restore the entire contents of the backup to another location, and then manually retrieve any other files I needed from that restored backup.
    During that restore, I thought I'd open a terminal window, and take a look at the /Volumes directory. In this directory, I noticed a volume named after the Backup Plan I was restoring from. This volume was not visible in the Finder, just in the /Volumes directory visible in Terminal.
    Curious, I opened the Users folder of that backup volume, and to my surprise I found my home directory with its contents! So, from Terminal, I did a recursive copy from the 'missing' (in the Backup application) home directory to my internal disk, and lo and behold, it contained the data from my home directory!
    So, I am thinking that my home directory exists in the backup, but that the Backup application is somehow not showing it.
    The directory structure I copied using Terminal only contains the contents of my home directory the way it was when I created my initial full backup, and thus it does not contain any subsequent modifications, stored in the 1.5 years worth of incremental backups I created later. I guess I could manually go through all incremental backups, extract the home directories from each of them, and manually combine them into a single one, representing the final home directory before my disk failed, but that is the Backup application's job.
    My question to the forum:
    - Have any of you experienced a similar problem, and if so, were you able to recover the 'hidden' directory from the backup files, and how?
    - Maybe the Backup development team at Apple can provide some suggestions for how to retrieve my home directory from the backup files I have.
    Obviously, it's important for me to get my files back. I did make backups on a regular basis, so I thought I did the right thing. It's especially frustrating, since I'm pretty sure the backup files contain the home directory, but I just can't get at it!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    JK
    Software versions of system before crash:
    - System version: 10.4 Tiger (up to date with the latest updates)
    - Backup version 3 (kept up to date with the latest updates)
    Software versions of system after crash:
    - System version: 10.5 Leopard (up to date with the latest updates)
    - Backup version 3 (version as of the day of this posting)

    The original install had 3 regular users, and I'm also seeing the "Shared" user when looking at the volume via Terminal. On my new disk, I created a user (with admin rights) with the same name as one of the users on the back up. When I log in as this user and then start Backup again, the home directory of that user is visible in Backup. However, the home directory I want is still hidden.
    On a side note: I'm wondering whether these full or incremental backups are somehow similar to .dmg files, since they seem to appear in the /Volumes list while Backup is restoring from a backup file.
    What I am doing right now, is to have Backup do a complete restore. But as soon as I started Backup, I opened a terminal window,did a cd (change directory) to the backup file (which appears as a volume). Then I copied the contents I of the home directory I want (via cp -R <home-directory-name> <destination>) to another hard disk.
    Interestingly enough, I noticed that Backup, while it was doing the restore, opened a dialog indicating that it could not close the backup file because it was in use by me having a Terminal window open in one of its directories. As soon as I closed the terminal window, and allowed Backup to re-try, it successfully continued, opening the next backup file in succession.
    As soon as it continued, I cd-ed into the home directory of that next backup file, and copied the contents of the home directory from it. So, I'm doing this for the home directory in question for all backup files. I assume that this gets me as many copies (versions) of the home directory as there are backup files.
    The next thing I need to to after all backup files have been processed, is to manually try to consolidate all the extracted home directory versions into a single one. Yes, this sounds insane, and it is, but until I know of another way to solve this problem, it's the only thing I can do
    What a fantastic way to spend a weekend!

  • Why "Lighting Effects.plugin" in FIlter folder does not appear in the Rendering menu?

    Photoshop CS5 - I need to work with the "Lighting Effects.plugin".
    The plug-in is correctly installed into Adobe Photoshop CS5.1>Plug-ins>Filters but it NOT APPEAR rolling down the RENDERING menu!!
    How can I make it visible?
    Thank you

    That particular filter was not updated/upgraded to 64 bits, therefore you need to launch Photoshop as a 32-bit application.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS82af097c4236e2eb70aae8412fa75dc285-8000.h tml
      In 64-bit versions of Mac OS 10.5 and later, some older, optional plug-ins are available only if Photoshop is running in 32-bit mode:
    In the Finder, choose Go > Applications.
    Expand the Photoshop folder. Then right-click the Photoshop application icon, and choose Get Info.
    In the General section of the Info window, select Open In 32-bit Mode. 
    Close the Info window, and restart Photoshop.

  • Some Dowloaded music that is in Itunes Music Folder Does not appear in Itun

    I downloaded about a dozen songs from itunes yesterday. Four out of twelve songs do not appear in itunes.
    I checked and these four missing songs are in my purchase history, these songs are in my itunes music directory on my windows xp computer and I have the most recent version of itunes?
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    My music is not there.  It is, however, showing up on my main (MAC) HD, not my external drive.  I think that I might have deleted the external drive copy instead of the local HD copy when I was trying to open up disk space.
    Is there a way to scan the MAC HD aside from spotlight?  When I look under about this mac->storage, I see that all 64GB of music remains on my main HD, but when I run searches in the finder for MP3, MP4, or by band name, I cannot find anything.

  • I have followed "Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer" but although I've worked through the dtages and it says it has worked, the expected internet explorer folder does not appear in bookmarks

    I have installed Firefox today, and like the look of and the speed. But I have an extensive set of foldersin my IE Favorites and remebered passwords I don't want to have to reimput.
    I have now tried twice folowing "Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer " which seemed to go smoothly, once with IE open and the other with it closed, and closed down my PC between each attempted installation. Any ideas?

    It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • Newly created sub-folder does not appear in correct location

    Hello, When I attempt to create a sub-folder in Finder the newly created folder is located at the bottom of the Documents drive and not within the folder I'd originally selected, eg:
    1) viewing the Finder in List view, selected a folder in the Documents Drive, eg DOCUMENTS / WORK
    2) from the "Action" button at the top of the Finder page I've selected "new folder" option
    3) A new folder has been created but it's placed at the bottom of the Documents drive, eg DOCUMENTS / UNTITLED FOLDER
    I've attempted this a number of times and always with the same results, is this bug occurring for all 10.5 users? I hope not because this is a shocker.
    Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This appears to be a design decision, as when you're in list view, the current folder is the one displayed in the window. If you want it to work the way you think it should, use column view.
