Importing CD / adding folder goes to wrong folder

iTunes 9.0.1.8
Under preferences my iTunes media folder is set to "C:\iTunes" and up until recently all imported CD's and files went into that folder under the relevant artist name.
Now, however, when importing they go to a new folder called "C:\iTunes\Music" - I didn't create this folder - how do i stop this and get it back to my original preference?
Any help appreciated
Regards
Ian

Same problem, installed latest iTunes yesterday to Vista.
Import folder is defined as default iTunes-folder (C:\<user>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library) but it still creates a folder "Music" under this and then <artist>\<record> under this one. If I modify the default folder, it creates the import under that one, but not ever into correct iTunes Library-folder.
What gives?

  • Importing to AE files - goes to wrong folder

    I looked in the AE FAQ, didn't see the answer to my question, so here goes.
    I am using AE with editing video, meaning I only use AE for some basic things. This is one of those times where my lack of knowledge is driving me mad.
    When I went to import a clip, AE directs me to a folder from an old project. This happened once before, and I fixed it, but can't remember what I did. Any help would be appreciated, as I hate navigating around to a new folder all the time. I am obviously doing something wrong with the preference, workflow, or both.
    Cheers,
    Douglas

    You're doing nothing wrong. AE will remember your new folder after you have quit and re-launched it. Ages old design flaw in the way it handles this...

  • TS3899 Mail going to wrong folder

    I have contact emails in my phone that are sending to my junk mail folder instead of my inbox.  One contact is even marked as VIP.  Can you help with this?

    Jeff:
    I have gotten hostname as you suggested, and thus far seen one Helo failure prior to that, so thanks for the tip.
    The queue is running like 150k to 170k, I've got content filter off right in order to isolate problems.
    This wrong account issue is causing some severe creditability issues with this server as you can imagine.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Downloads going into wrong folder

    I have it set up so that when downloading any apps etc from the iTunes store that they go into a specific folder, but they are being downloaded into the default C: Users/my name/My Music/iTunes/mobile applications every time.
    Obviously I can copy them over if I want to but want to know why they are being installed there instead of the folder I want to which is specified under preferences.
    Anyway of resolving this?

    Use the menus File > LIbrary > Organize Library... > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" then File > LIbrary > Organize Library... > Consolidate files...
    You can then delete the now redundant Mobile Applications folder on C: and iPod Games, Ringtones or Tones if they exist.
    The first command will restucture your library so that all music moves from
    <Media Folder>\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name> to
    <Media Folder>\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>
    which is the default layout for new libraries.

  • Incoming messages going to wrong folder

    I have no rules set for mail and I have messages that should be in my inbox automatically showing up in another folder. I think I previously had a rule set but have deleted all of my rules and the problem persists. Does anyone know of other settings I need to check?
    Thank you

    quit Mail go to the folder home directory/library/mail and delete the files MessageRules.plist and
    MessageRules.plist.backup
    start Mail and it ought to behave now.

  • Imported Files going in the wrong folder

    Elements Organizer 10 started misplacing all the Imported Files in the folder above at some point.
    In Folder Location view (under Display) I right click folder B and chose Import to Elements Organizer. Once the Import is finished, all photos but one are under folder A instead... needless to say my catalog now looks very messy because photos show in folders with different names. In Finder they appear in the right place, and even the File Properties in Elements show the correct location. Just not the Folders.
    I have about 20k files imported in my catalogue, this started happening recently and affects only files imported in certain external drives or partitions.
    I tried the repairs, optimizations, reconnects etc. for the catalogue, looked for updates and restarted the software many times now.
    How can I fix this?

    Hi guys,
    Sorry about slow time to reply.
    I'll try to be a bit more specific.
    The problem seems to happen only with a new firewire drive, Lacie Rugged 1gb.
    I have Mac OS X v10.6.8, processor 2.26Ghz, intel core duo, 8Gb 1067 DDR3; Elements Organizer 10.0
    The problem happens regardless of how I import the files, ie in thumbnail or folder view, and my procedures have not changed since using previous drives (right click folder and chose Import to Elements Organizer). If I am in thumbnail view or folder batch view the files are there, however having to browse among Ks of files is not my preference, I like folder view better.
    I think the image below explains it better: the folder selected is called Group Tax team day (bottom left). The  photo at the top is actually from this folder, but the one at the bottom (and all the others then) are from a folder called HK Dez 2012, which is the last that was imported directly below. You can actually see that the path at the top of the image does not match the selected folder on the lower left. And btw, this means that the files at the top folder in the drive cannot be found in folder view, since they have no folder to move to.
    Appreciate any help on this!

  • Lightroom imports photos to wrong folder

    I've been importing lots of photos from my hard drive into lightroom and been moving/renaming them in the process. I only got lightroom a few weeks ago.
    This has worked fine but i've recently imported a few hundred photos off my iphone and doing the same thing - move and rename. The trouble is, these photos keep going into the 2009 folder, instead of the 2012 or 2013 folders that they should be. When i look at the photos, they have the correct name, and the capture date seems to be correct, its just lightroom keeps wanting to put them in the wrong folder by year. Does anyone understand why this might be happening?
    naturally I want all my photos sorted into the right date folders as this is the way ive decided to organise my photos...

    hmm so still not making sense. it keeps wanting to import my photos into the wrong destination. have removed all the photo from lightroom. how do i change it so it automatically puts the photos into the corresponding year/month they were taken..
    I understand its something in the import settings/destination but cant seem to change this. not sure what parts of the import box your wanting to see Dj.
    the structure now is my pictures/2009/21-7-09 then its creating new year folders and sorting them within this 21-7-9 folder..
    can't see to change this?

    Spotlight lists items and shows preview images.  BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
    Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
    Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine:  e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
    Can I make Spotlight show the path?

    Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window.  Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens. 

  • Podcast episodes download to wrong folder. How can I move them?

    Some of my downloaded podcast episodes seem to be going to incorrect folders.
    For example, I subscribe to the Photoshop TV podcast. Some of the downloaded episodes go into the iTunes Music folder>Podcasts>Photoshop TV folder. This seems to me to be the correct path.
    But most of the episodes wind up in iTunes Music folder>Unknown Artist>Unknown Album folder, along with many unrelated, non-podcast files.
    Now when I search in the Library for<Photoshop> all the Photoshop TV files appear, along with other files referencing Photoshop. But when I search the Library using <Photoshop TV> as the search term, only the Photoshop TV files in the Unknown Album folder show up, but not the ones in the Podcasts>Photoshop TV folder.
    And finally when I cllick on Podcasts in the Source pane, once again only the Photoshop TV files in the Unknown Album show up.
    I've tried adding those Photoshop TV files back to the library but they remain in the Unknown Album folder.
    I haven't tried rebuilding the library yet. I will, but it seems that wont actually move any files. I could also recreating a new library moving my iTunes music folder out of the iTunes folder and then adding them all back. That seems like overkill and I might very well end up with the same problem. (I'm not sure how many of my other Podcast subscriptions have this problem, but not many)
    So,
    1) how can I get these Photoshop TV files into the Podcasts>Photoshop TV folder, and
    2) how can I make this the folder that shows up when I search via the Podcast source, and
    3) what causes this problem?

  • EMOD Emails going into Junk Folder

    I created an email campaign in EMOD, targetting 330 customers. Just to be on the safe side, I also added myself as a recipient on the list. The emails went out successfully as scheduled, but I noticed that instead of the inbox my email has gone directly into the Outlook Junk folder.
    The email was designed so that it is sent FROM a person's email address, but any REPLY-TO go into a generic email account for an internal team to monitor. Also, the email does not have the (bhd-bounce etc...) as this was removed by Customer Care.
    Can someone please explain how I can avoid the emails going into Junk Folder? I am concerned that our customers will not see the email, or that the Response Status for this campaign will not reflect true results.
    Please advise.

    Hi CRMwise,
    I could not understand what this means:
    If you need to white list for your company the information below should help:
    mail-11.crmodmail.com (141.146.155.148)
    Did you follow up with Oracle to find out how to whitelist your emails?
    Oracle claims that they take extra care to ensure that mails sent from their server are whitelisted. However, I guess that would not stop the individual email address mentioned in the From field from getting blacklisted.
    Do share your experience how you mange to resolve this issue. Here is an interesting link I came across:

  • What is this Import folder inside my iphoto folder?

    Hi,
    I was looking at the size of my iphoto 6 folder before backup, and found a folder I havn't seen before.
    There's an Import folder inside my iphoto folder. Inside this import folder I have a Data, Original and Modified folder. All of them with empty subfolders except the data one, which has one year (2004) and inside all 2004 thumbnails. (iphoto/import/data/2004/**)
    This thumbanils are duplicated in my iphoto/data/2004 folder.
    Does anyone know why iphoto created this folder and why? And if it can be removed?
    I tried renaming it and restarting iphoto and nothing bad happened... :o) (But i want to be sure before I backup)

    I don't know if this will be much help to you, but this is what I've discovered so far. I wish someone from Apple would explain all this to us.
    The Original folder contains the the image files imported into you Library.
    If your Advanced preferences were set to Copy Files .. when Adding To Library the copy goes here and is never modified by iPhoto.
    Any edits to the image result in another copy of the file, with those edits, in the Modified folder.
    And I suspect the Data folder contains your original images in thumbnail size for faster viewing in the main iPhoto window.
    What I don't understand is why does my original image of 3KB (90x110) become a file of 39KB in the Data folder. What kind of thumbnail is that ?
    Can someone from Apple explain this.
    I'm trying to make efficient use of disk space and did not select the Advanced preferences setting of Copy Files .. when Adding To Library, so when I saw this file and its size compared to my original I was surprised.

  • ITunes saves dropped songs to wrong folder

    Because of the size of my MP3 ad WAV music collection, I store my song files onto a SAS RAID array instead in my user's Music folder.  The path to this folder ls "/Volumes/Audio Storage/Music".  This has worked fine for quite a while, but I've built a new Lion system for audio work and things have gotten odd.
    My starting settings in the Advanced section are both Keep iTunes folder organizaed and Copy files off.  I then drag and drop the folder into the Music panel of iTunes and after a few minutes, all 50K± songs are imported.  I then go into preferences and eable Copy Songs for any new music.  Last night I imported Fr/action's entire library and the import succeeded, but this morning I noticed that the songs had been imported int9o a new Music folder within my specified folder - "/Volumes/Audio Storage/Music/Music".  While doesn't present a problem with playback or logically managing the collection, I'm curious as to why iTunes added the new folder instead of just copying the new group / album / song hierarchy into the defined folder?
    Is this a bug, or am I missing some setting?

  • Links default to wrong folder

    Why is it when I go to relink a placed image in the Links pallette it always directs me to the wrong folder (not the one the image lives in but elsewhere). I believe that it is taken me to the last folder I navigated to. thoughts?

    You now have a prefernce for where relink goes, the last folder you used to link, or the folder where the original link resides. It's in the prefs.

  • LR5.3 - Imports in to one folder, but displays sub-folder incorrectly

    Hi all
    I have recently upgraded to LR5.3 and have now noticed an issue when importing photos.  When importing in to one folder (as a sub folder), the photos are imported correctly, - on disk they appear in the correct place, howevr in the folder panel, the sub-folder is shown outside of the main folder.
    Imort settings are:
    Note , on disk the folder '20131226 - Boxing Day' appears correctly (These are all under a root folder 'Photos - LR Masters')
    However, in the LR Folder Panel, the folder '20131226 - Boxong Day' appears outside of the 'Photos - LR Masters'
    If I attempt to move the folder by dragging, I get an error that the folder already exists.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Rikk
    Thanks for replying on this, I have tried to the parent folder but get the following error:
    The strange thing i sthat the folder is correct on the disk, the photos can selected from the library and can be developed and exported. The only thing wrong is that the imported folder appears outside of teh parent folder in teh library

  • Mail goes to BULK folder , how to send it to the INBOX folder

    When I try to send mail throgh the java mail concept it is going to the bulk folder , my requirment is to send the mail to the inbox , is anything i have to set to send the mail to the inbox.
    Thanx in advance
    Have a nice day.

    I think its nothing to do with java mail api, it the mail service provider which filter the incoming mail and thinks that it is a junk mail adding it to the bulk folder. If you can open the email and mark the email through which u are sending mails as not junk, then the future email throug this address will be delivered into inbox.
