Is this possible in Automator?

Is this possible?
I save images to my Desktop sometimes. I want to use Hazel and Automator to automatically move the file to another location by asking in a pop-up or something where I want this just-saved image to go---for example, to "Vacation Photos," to "Pet Photos," to "Family photos," etc. Then, move it there. After it does so, I want it to either 1.) continue the numbering sequence of photos (so if I move a photo to "Pet Photos," I want it to continue the existing sequence in "Pet Photos"--e.g., naming it petphotos-005.jpg) or if this isn't possible 2.) after the move, have Automator select ALL the contents in the chosen folder and rename everything in sequence, including the photo I just added to that folder.
Thank you so much!

Not all applications provide Automator actions, so they won't necessarily show up in the actions library. For an Automator solution, you can use a couple of *Launch Application* actions in your workflow to launch the desired applications.

Automating album name importing - is this possible?

OK, I have a lot (A LOT) of tracks in my library. I am trying to populate the tags for the album name for as many as possible, so that they are easier to find on my iPod and in the iTunes library.
Doing it one at a time using the itunes store is painfully slow. What I would love is some program that will go through my library and examine the song name and artist name, access CDDB and give me a list of possible albums that the song is from. I would click one, and the program would fill that info in to the tag and I'd go to the next one.
8000 songs - a program that could do exactly the above would probably turn this from a 6 month job (done in small bits, 5-10 songs per day) to a weekend job, maybe 3 hours total. That would be AWESOME.
****, I could even program it, if my last programming class wasn't turbo pascal, 12 years ago!
Any ideas? Is this possible? Did I post this in the right forum?

Cmon, don't you think I tried Google?
I hate to sound ungrateful for the "suggestion" but someone who posts on a forum is not looking for "check out google" I did, and there's nothing there, so if you have a specific suggestion, I'd love to hear it.
As for finding album art - yeah, it probably takes two minutes or so. I have 7000 songs, and if you figure they average two per album, that works out to 3500 albums I need to look up. At two minutes each, that works out to 116 hours.
My hourly wage is $75. You do the math.
Wanna do it for me? I'll pay you $50!

Is this feasible with Automator?

I am tasked with the project of making it possible for Mac users in an office to create several folders and documents automatically, at the click of a mouse, if you will. Can this be done with Automator? If not, any recommendations on how to make this happen?
Example:
Law office has a new client. By simple act of automation, it would be great if a folder was created with the clients' name, followed by a subfolders, with boiler plate documents inside them that are used in every case, such as contracts, introductory letters, motions, etc. Even more ideal, it would be great to have a checklist of all the steps that is generated, and even more ideal, would be great if the user could choose the type of case, and have folders and letters generated based on the choice of which kind of case.
Is this possible?

It is possible - a service can be used to run a workflow with folders selected in a Finder window. There are a few ways to create the folder structures, one would be to use a previously created template and copy that to the new client folder - I have written an Automator action that does just that:
The Copy Folder Structure action can be downloaded here.

You mean "upload"?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

I work with a child who is not able to move his neck. to see the ipad, it has to be placed high above the table (eye level). he needs access with a mouse - is this possible?

I work with a child who has physical disability and cannot move his neck. The ipad needs to be eyelevel in order for him to see it, but he also is not able to raise his hand and would need mouse access... is this possible?

I'm sorry but the iPad does not work with a mouse, there is no cursor on the iPad and the iPad was designed as a touch screen device so a mouse will not work.
I really don't know what to suggest other than this new device, and it might be worth a look. I assume that the child can use his hands for a keyboard.

If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad? If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
Refer to these articles for help.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
You can also download the programs again.
If you live in a country that supports re-downloading apps then you can re-download them. You can refer to this article for more help.

I am getting old and looking forward to use I Pad as a Phone if possible through WIFI! I this possible? The screen is to small for me! If possible, with new I Watch taking calls, other uses through I Pad!

Like I wrote on title, I am getting old and it is not easy to see E-mails, news etc. on a I phone! New I phone will not help me for the size.
If possible, everything without calls, I would like to use I Pad as direct unit, and for calls through I Pad over WIFI all calls. If a call as Skype, I would like
to use the I Pad as a monitor. Is this possible?
I found on a side that there is a product for people for better hearing, which can be put into the ears, using WIFI with I Phone.
If this product could be used also for I Pad as a Phone for hearing, and the I watch or I Pad as Microphone, it will be great for old Mac users.
Is this possible with our system know?
I am using Mac since Classic II! Would like to continue with the newest items with the possibility for old person with bad Eyes or Ears.
Looking forward for a kind answer
with regards
Christian an old Mac user!

Definitely No

If you have a mid/late 2007 MBP you can install the latest OSX that is available, on your MBP. Mavericks (10.9) has been replaced by Yosemite (10.10) and is no longer available in the App store.
You choices are Lion (10.7), Mt.Lion (01.8) (both $20) or Yosemite (free). The first two are available from the Apple online web site. Yosemite can be downloaded from the App store.
Ciao.

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly.

Using one ipod on 2 computers - is this possible?!

Hi guys I would really appreciate it if somebody could help out with this:
I want to buy my girlfriend an 80gb Ipod Classic for xmas and load it with some music using my existing version of itunes (version 7.3.2.6) and then give it to her so that she can use the ipod with the verison of itunes that it comes with or she downloads. *This music will NOT be music purchased from itunes.*
Is this possible? When her friend connects her new nano to my girlfriends pc and tries to use my girlfriends slightly older version of itunes all of the songs are greyed out and not useable.
I do not want to buy the ipod and load it up only to find she can then not use it with her version of itunes.
If anyone is certain about this i'd be greatly appreciative of an answer.
David

To change it back to automatically syncing you remove the check mark from "Manually manage songs and videos" and press Apply. If you don't want to use it as file storage device and want it to automatically eject when it is finished updating you also remove the check mark from "enable disk use" (this is checked by default when you set the iPod to update manually. Remember though that if you go back to updating automatically, any songs on the iPod that aren't in iTunes will be removed. You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers: Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows

How do I connect Apple 20" Cinema Display to orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

I Wish to connect my 6 year old Apple 20" Cinema Display to an orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display. The display will run without it.

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb and it says it holds up to 4,000 songs, and 16 hours of video but on my Itunes I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb. How is this possible?

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb that says it holds up to 4,000 songs, 16 hours of video, and 14,000 pictures. On my Itunes Library, I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb just of songs. How is this possible? If I buy the Nano, will I not be able to have all my songs on the ipod? The music is my first and only prioarity. I want to be able to have up to at least 3,000 songs, even if that means not having video or pictures. Can someone please help me?

Daniella,
The estimated song capacities, such as 4000 songs in 16 GB, are based on 4 minute songs of 4 MB each, which is what you get at 128 encoding.
Most of us nowadays use well above 128. (For example, the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3 both sell songs only in 256.)
However, you can still make more songs fit! When you sync your iPod, use the option to "convert higher bit rate songs," as pictured. Choose 128. This fits more on the iPod, but does not change the songs in your library.

I would like to access both my iTunes and my husbands iTunes on the same computer. However, we still want our separate logins for our devices (iPad, 2 iPhones) for purchases. Is this possible?

Is there a way to have one computer hold both my iTunes account and my husbands iTunes account at the same time. We do not want to log in and out, but want to be able to access both purchases on the same computer (songs, movies, etc). However, we want to keep our accounts seperate for purchases on our devices. Is this possible?

Buy another hard drive. They're cheap these days.
In fact, buy a couple of 'em. I recommend a minimum of five internal hard drives.
C: Windows and Programs
D: Project, graphic and audio files
E: Cache and Scratch
F: Media
G: Export
