Importing Main Folders with Sub-folders

I am a new Mac user and I am trying to import my photos into iPhoto6.0. I have created main folders with sub-folders (eg. Main Folder = Holiday, Sub-folder = Australia Trip) and would like the sub-folders to appear when I open iPhoto. However, I cannot seem to get the main folder or sub-folder names to appear in iPhoto. The photos just get imported into the library and segregated by year.
I tried reading the forum, and seem to infer that iPhoto cannot handle sub-folder names. However, when I read iPhoto 6.0 Help page, it states:
"You can also drag individual photos or an entire folder from the Finder into iPhoto's photo viewing area. If you drag a folder, a film roll is created with the folder's name. If the folder you import contains subfolders, film rolls are created with each subfolder's name."
I tried the above, but I don't seem to manage to get the film rolls named as described.
Please help!!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Could it be confusion with what you are viewing in the iPhoto window?
iPhoto always shows you a "last roll", which is really more like a smart album than a Film Roll. It is simply a quick way to find the photos from your most recent import session. When I drag in 2 folders to import, it only shows the second folder when I select "last roll." Are you seeing photos from one of your folders, or both of them together?
Select "Library" from the top of your Source Pane to see your entire library. It doesn't mattter if you already have photos in your library or if you're beginning fresh. Under the "View" menu, select "Film Rolls" so that it is checked. Also under View, select "Sort Photos" > "by Film Roll". Now try to select the name/icon of 2 folders in Finder, then drag over the iPhoto window onto where the thumbnails display your library. (Or display nothing, if your library is empty.) Release when the curser is a green plus sign. When the import is finished you should see the 2 folder names (now as rolls) each with a set of thumbnails below it. Check the slider near the bottom right of the iPhoto window; moving it all the way to the left will give you the smallest thumbnails and allow you to see more photos at once.
Please try this again and let me know how it goes. If this does not solve it, then I can tell you how to check what's in your library. But the Film Roll view should work.

Importing existing folders and sub folders of photos into photoshop organiser 9

I have over 10,000 photos nicely organised in folders and sub folders in Bridge CS3 and want to migrate over to photoshop elements and use their organiser so I have everything in one place. However, when I try to import the photos, it brings them in as individual photos and not in their folders. It seems like I need to recreate a load of albums and then drag and drop the photos into them. I don't have time to recreate hundreds of album names to replicate my system as it is. Is there any way round this or should I be looking at a different system altogether?
Thank you for any advice on this.

... should I be looking at a different system altogether?
If your entire organizational goals are to continue to use your "nicely organised" folders, then why bother with the PSE Organizer in the first place? You have extra work (must import the photos) and more limitations (must do all photo management inside of the PSE Organizer), and its hard to see any benefit from using the PSE Organizer. You won't achieve any "better organization" than what you have now.
If your goals are to use PSE tools to organize (tags, captions notes), in addition to (or as a replacement for) your folder organization, then the PSE Organizer can be very useful.

Working with Folders and Sub-Folders

I'm updating this big site, and its pages are organized into
folders. I've only ever organized my images and .pdf files with
folders not my html files but all my prior sites have never had so
many files as this one. It’s starting to drive me crazy
though because pages in folders aren't connecting to scripts in the
scripts folder, menus aren't working right because of it and I'm
not sure what I can do to fix it.
My question is if images are showing up in these sub-pages,
the linked css is being applied in these sub-pages why are the
scripts not working in the sub-pages? For example, all the top
level pages easily connect to the rotating JavaScript banner, but
as soon as you go into a sub-folder page the banner disappears. All
these files are being updated via templates so any changes I'm
doing is affecting all the pages the same. That’s why
it’s confusing me why an image would connect the same but a
script wouldn't. Don't they search for their links root down or
does it search the folder its in down? How can you get templates to
work under such conditions where files are both in the root and in
folders and sub-folders?
Site reference is:
http://golfforkids.net/focus/index.html
Please note that this is a temporary domain for testing. The
top menu will pop up a window saying that it needs to be
registered. They are, just not to that domain and I don't have
access to the native domain. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thank you for any clarification!!!

''"Are you subscribed to those subfolders?
File (Alt-F) - Subscribe"''
Please see #2 in original post:
''"2) Trying to Subscribe to folders only shows Inbox, not sub-folders for Inbox."''
Attached is an image illustrating this (this screenshot was taken after forcing Thunderbird to show Inbox folders as described in #3 of OP)
{In OP I was unable to attach images}

N95 music player and working with sub folders

Hi, I use file transfer to move my music from PC to N95 and use folders and sub folders within the music folder. I cannot see the folders when using the music player. I need advise how I can transfer my music easily so that I can play music files that are within a folder. regards.

Yes. The refresh seems to have no effect on the Podcasts. I even unsubscribed to all my podcasts--which is supposed to also delete the downloaded podcasts as well; did a refresh and the the podcasts are still listed on the mediaplayer.
Another weird thing is that if the podcast app downloads another podcast, it is added to the list!

Can I arrange my bookmarks so that the folders and sub-folders are at the top of the list like in Explorer?

I transferred all of my "Favorites" from Explorer. I have a lot of folders and sub-folders and I would like these to be listed at the top (as in Explorer) with individual bookmarks below. Right now the folders and individual bookmarks are mixed together.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
If you '''Sort by Name''' in the Bookmarks Sidebar, that is how Firefox sorts bookmarks. If you have any '''''Separators''''', the Sort will stop there and you'll have to Sort from there down separately.

Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

How To Add Folders and Sub Folders

I am brand new (1 week) to my new Mac (iMac). In my Windows-based PC I used to have, for example, a folder named PHOTOS followed by sub folders designating certain categories that work for me, such as, "Family", "Vacations" etc, and I would make sure that all my uploads from my camers went to the appropriate folder.
I would like to accomplish the same thing in my Mac, but have no idea how to go about it. I do not even know how to create such folders and sub folders.
Is someone out there who can help, please?

In the Finder: File -> New Folder creates a new Folder. To nest a folder inside another one then simply drag the second one to the first.
But if you're trying to organise your photos, there's a much better way to do that on your Mac. Check out iPhoto It's a photo manager that's integrated throughout the Operating System. It's much, much more flexible than a bunch of folders in the Finder. You can keyword your pics, populate Smart Albums automatically, rate and edit your pics, all via iPhoto.
You can find out more here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/
there are some tutorials here
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto
and a good forum here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=143
My best advice is to explore the app by dragging in maybe 100 pics and testing things out, gettting the hang of it. It's miles better than a folder hierarchy.

Unlocking All Folders and Sub Folders When Sharing

Is there a way to share files and unlock them automatically. I Have many hundreads of excel and word docs in folders and sub folders.
After a day scratching my head trying to work out why I could not save them on the shared computer I realized that I needed to unlock the folder.
Excel does not have in its preferences anything that suggest this....it gets old real quick opening each file and then typing my computer password for each folder/ file etc....truly hope this can be done.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Stavros0203,
When restoring your entire system from a Time Machine backup, it is restored to the state it was when that backup was made. See this article for reference -

Exchange email folders and sub-folders: iPhone only pulling main "inbox"

Hello.
I've got iPhone set to access my Exchange email via IMAP. My work computer is an Win XP PRo, running Outlook 2007. My Outlook email folders are organized via rules that most important emails are automatically routed to specific folders (such as from a particular client or staff member).
My problem is The iPhone is only checking for mail in my main inbox. The only way I can get it to check for mail in my sub-folders is to click on the folder. This is a big problem, as I am missing notifications, and have over 35 subfolders!
I've tried and tried to find a setting I can change, or something...but cannot. Does anyone have any recommendations either via iPhone settings or my Outlook rules settings?
Thanks so much in advance!
Sovi

Thanks for posting that thread. My problem is slightly different in that it won't pull the mail *at all* -- even to the inbox. The mail is only pulled if/when I click on the sub-folder. At that point, the mail goes go to the correct sub-folder.
For obvious reasons this is an issue -- I miss lots of mail!
I (we) can't be the only ones using sub-folders with this issue.

Solution to using Site Root with Sub-folders on Testing Server & Browser Previews

Hi Everyone
Have found an elegant solution when using Site Root relative linking for a website, that allows browser previews, even when the testing server uses sub-folders and the live code references just the server site root " / " of the live server and not the sub-folder structure of the testing server. This is really useful when you don't want to use document relative linking, which normally takes care of this problem in Dreamweaver.
The solution is to use sub-domains referencing the sub-folders on the testing server, so the sub-folders appear as the root of each website and the html code pointing to the site root works correctly on both testing & live servers without alteration.
Testing Server Setup
One testing server domain is used for all client development work:
For example: www.testingserver.com
On the testing server there are multiple sub-folder (one for each client website being developed):
For example: www.testingserver.com/clientA/ , www.testingserver.com/clientB/ , www.testingserver.com/clientC/
Live Server Setup
The site code needs to be developed with the final live server folder structure (url references) in mind:
For example: www.livesite.com (with all pages referencing the root of the live site server)
Page URLs on Testing & Live Servers
/page-name.html
Testing server url: www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
Live server url: www.livesite.com/page-name.html (without /clientA/ sub-folder)
Browser Previews Don't Work
You want to be able to run browser previews on the testing server while developing the website. To do this you normally have to reference the sub-folder structure of the testing server in the url for things to work right:
For example www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
What do you do, when you can't keep switching all the urls in the code from pointing to the sub-folder to pointing to the site root, and you don't want to use document relative linking?
One Solution - Sub-domains on Testing Server
In your domain hosting (outside of Dreamweaver) setup a sub-domain to point to the testing server sub-folder.
For example: Sub-domain clientA.testingserver.com points to www.testingserver.com/clientA (sub-folder)
So now when you reference the sub-domain it sees the sub-folder as the site root and all your problems are solved.
Dreamweaver Site Definition Setup
Site Definition under "Local Info"
Links relative to: Site Root
Site Definition under "Remote Info" (live server)
Access: FTP
FTP host: ftp.livesite.com
Host directory: /
Site Definition under "Testing Server"
Access: FTP
FTP host: clientA.testingserver.com
Host directory: /
URL prefix: http://clientA.testingserver.com
(location of the site's root folder on the testing server, the sub-domain redirection takes care of pointing to the sub-folder)
This is just one solution but it works well for me as it doesn't have any cost associated with it under our hosting package where you can have multiple sub-domains setup.
Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.
Aly

Just Google it, or run out and buy a copy of David Powers' Foundations Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax and PHP, a book that is never out of reach for me. He details the process explicitly for both Mac and PC.
For me, on W7, I edit the C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file, and add the ip of my testing server along with the site alias -
192.168.1.82 site.local
Then I add this same designation to my httpd.conf file in Apache on the testing server. Finally I restart Apache.
Now from my production machine if I browse to "http://site.local", I get to see either the default file in the root of the site on the testing server, or a directory of the site on the testing server (my testing server is a unix box running on my LAN at that ip address). Furthermore, all of my root relative links now work as they would if the pages were being browsed from the live server.

Syncing photos with sub folders

Hi
Is there any way to sync my photo exactly like them on my pc?
i have a photo folder and many sub folders , each sub folder contains more sub folders
and on my iphone my sub folders merge and they all displayed in one folder

I also have the same problem.
With itunes on windows and an Iphone 3g, I can only sync the first level, so all subdirectory folders appear in the top one.
This means that for example my holidays snaps are all together, which is a real pain to find anything.
I know that using a Mac with iphoto I can do this, but I dont have a Mac.
I have also tried using Photoshop elements 7 and 8 but it only allows the transfer of everything (obviously I want to sync just the ones I want - to save space).
A faq I found said that photoshop elements and album work, but only a very early release of these. Otherwise you get everything.
thoughts or suggestions?
Will apple ever provide iphoto or support a windows tool such as the latest elements 8 or picasa 3.5
Regards
Joe

Import Folders and Sub Folders - any luck?

I have tried three or four ways to drag folders from the finder to iPhoto in hopes it would keep my folder structure and folder names. The Help file says it should. I have dragged to library, to source window, to viewing area, and even to death.
I can drag one folder at a time to the source window and it keeps the name, but if there is a subfolder, it does not work.
I am using iPhoto with my photos somewhere else. AKA iPhoto references them not keep them inits library.
Anyone have luck doing this?
x-.-x

Hi x,
I think it will only work for folders with images in them. does the subfolder have images in it?
