Itines folder location-tranfereing to the wrong area

i have my itunes set so when i import music it tranfers into a folder location in my firewire exteral harddrive. Lately all my music now is tranfering into a sub folder called compilations and when i tranfer it to my ipod it will not show up under the artist name. please help.

Hi RobertG,
When you have the disk mounted, but before you import to iTunes, do a Get Info and the option you are looking for is at the bottom left of the screen - 'Compilation CD'. Just had to find a new CD to import to test it with

Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos. You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image. I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide). So
Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken. No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

I have several albums in a folder in iphoto. The pictures are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external hard drive and have them stay in order w/labels. How can I do that? Thank You

I have several "albums" in a "folder "in iphoto. The pictures, and videos (from a camera and smart phone) are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external harddrive. How can I do that and keep them in order, etc. What I have tried reorders them, separates them into the camera pictures, phone pictures, and movies. We are not sauvy in Apple or iphoto so this has been extremely frustrating for us.

Files on disk have no order - they are given the order by the viewing program - finder on the Mac - using the finder you can view files by many different sorts - file name - date created - date moified - size - etc
Deciede how you are going to sort them when you view them and then export them so that sort works for you
Generally using an alpha sort to view and exporting using the sequential nameing option is the solution - see the user tip on exporting for the options available

If a folder gets dragged in the places area, how do I remove it?

I hate when you just can't delete something easily! I accidentally dragged a folder into the "places" area on the left side when you open up the hard drive, now it won't go away.. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Hold down the COMMAND key then drag the item out of the sidebar. It will poof away. Nothing to "fix."

Ipod locates me in the wrong place

I had to get a different iPod (a replacement). I live in Michigan, and if I use the google maps app, or Facebook "Locate me", it brings me up in 3 different locations. Usually, it locates me in my OLD city..a place that I've never even taken this iPod( I had moved out of my apartment before getting the replacement). if I hit refresh, It'll locate me in CHICAGO. If I refresh a 3rd time, it locates me in a different city in Michigan that I've never even been to.
I was just wondering if anyone had a way to fix the problem, or help the problem at all? I appreciate it! I understand it's not a HUGE problem, it's just annoying to be honest.
Thanks guys!

The location service uses an Apple database of router location and its unique identifier. As of yet nobody here as been able to find a way to update the Apple database. You do not have to connect to a router to use its location, all yo have to do is to be within range.It could be find your previous home location since the database may still have you old location associated with your router (assuming you moved you router to your new location). For the other locations you obtained, they may have be from other routers.

Sorry if this is the wrong area for this post.

I am thinking abut the Studio High Definition Powered Isolation Headphones with Noise Cancellation. In trying to find the place with the 2 miles/$1 spent and the lowest price is too much for my drained brain to handle. If anybody knows the place that gives the 2 miles/$ spent and the best price for the exact product please sent it my way. (Not the product but the answer) lol.
I do have a question at Newegg they have a special add-on which I am not sure if it is worth getting. is there somebody who can tell me what this is and if it is worth getting the two together. Finally, the Headphones, I assume, plug into any MBP without any special connector. It would be awesome if they plug into the iPods too but I think there might be a small adapter.
OK back to my main question, should I get the # Monster AICYP 200 S Y-Splitter With Volume Control/Mute. The detail about this combo is helpful to me but still I do not have enough info and lack the practical skills to make the right decision.

In Thunderbird while trying to move conversation results to an archive folder; if some of the results are already in the folder it will not move any.

Hi. I often use the conversation search option when archiving my emails from inbox. I find this a very useful method of finding trails where I and multiple people have responded to each other. However If I have already moved one or more of these emails into the archive folder and select all to move, Thunderbird will not move any. I then need to individually select those that need to be moved.
Although not a major issue I use this regularly and often come across the problem. a recent fix which allows location tab to remain on in search helps but does not resolve this issue. A slightly annoying problem and I was wondering if any one else has this issue. Also is anyone looking into a solution?

FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

Recorded audio in the wrong folder

I recorded my audio in the wrong folder (they are not in the project folder). I copied them over to my project folder but can't figure out how to link my song file/audio regions to the new location. I tried to set this in the Audio Window by resetting "Set Audio Record Path" but it wants me to give it a new file name (creating a whole new document?)
Can someone help me work this out?

Brian:
Try putting the files back in their original folder location, open up the project, and then use the Project -> Consolidate menu option. If I recall correctly it will move everything into a new specified folder (or an existing folder) and re-reference the paths for you.

No files or folders shown in Organizer Folder Location view

Hi!
I'm using Elements Organizer 8.0. If I select the Folder Location option from the Display menu, then I get a tree pane to left with a few folders in it: "Public", my user name, Computer, Network and Offline Media. The Computer folder in turn contains my drives. However, none of the folders can be expanded (no [+] icon) except for the mentioned Computer folder. So I can't reach any sub-folders. Furthermore, no files are ever displayed in the center pane, regardless of what folder is selected.
I have no filters set, I have tried enabling display of hidden files (not that this should matter) and can see no further options to change.
I did discover a sort-of partial workaround. If i right-click on a folder in the tree pane and select New Folder, then a new folder will be created in the file system, and the parent folder with suddenly be endowed with a [-] icon. If i click this to collapse the parent folder, and then click the [+] icon to expand it again, the I can suddenly see all other sub-folders in this folder. Of course, this is still worthless, since I still can't see any files.
Probably related to this is the fact that the Watch Folders feature is broken for me. I can select any folder (this is done through a standard Windows file selection box, so navigating through the file system to select the desired folder works fine) but it seems that the organizer never finds any files regardless of what folder I choose to watch.
Any ideas?
/Björn Stenborg

Display > Folder Location view will only show files (and their containing folders) if you've previously imported them into the Organizer, e.g. with File > Get Photos And Videos > From Files And Folders. Have you imported any photos yet into your catalog?
Note also that Folder Location view is buggy and often shows the wrong contents of folders, and with large catalogs (tens of thousands of photos), it is intolerably slow.
Regarding File > Watch Folders, it only imports photos that are added, deleted, or modified after you've started watching a folder.

PSE 7 Organizer Folder Location View Unacceptably Slow

I see there are a lot of intelligent people posting here, so I thought I'd take a stab at explaining my problem. I recently upgraded to PSE 7 from PSE 6 because of the well documented PSE 6 bug that causes raw files to appear as broken thumbnails. Now that I am working on PSE 7 I have run into the problem referenced above: trying to operate in Folder Location View in organizer is painfully slow. Any attempt to switch to Folder Location View from Thumbnail view or attempting to filter anything (by star rating, for example) triggers a long wait - I would say 5-7 minutes - before the action is completed. I don't have the problem in Thumbnail View, but the problem is I rely on the folder hierarchy for my workflow and having 20,000 plus thumbnails not organized by folder does not help me at all. I am extremely frustrated!
I have already repaired and optimized. From what I've read, rebuilding the thumbnail cache doesn't appear to help either. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I really need to be able to use the Folder Location View. It's bad enough that I may have to go back to PSE 6 and live with the broken raw thumbnails.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

A number of people have reported tha Folder Location view is very slow, in both PSE 6 and PSE 7. (You're lucky it is fast for you in in PSE6.) In my catalog (13,000 files), PSE 7 takes 30 seconds to switch from Thumbnail view to Folder Location view; but once it's open, it's reasonably zippy. No one has posted any workarounds here.
Beware that many people have reported problems with Folder Location view in PSE 6 and 7 showing the wrong contents of folders. This often happens when you try to search by keyword tags, but some have reported it happening even with no searches applied.
In general, Adobe seems to treat Folder Location view as the stupid stepchild of the Organizer -- it's buggy, it's slow, and it isn't documented very well. The Organizer's sweet spot is organizing with keywords, albums, stacks, versions sets, dates, captions and other metadata.

ITunes not storing files in iTunes media folder location

A number of years ago I wanted to move my itunes media files to an external drive. At the time an article was posted that explained how to do such that. Additionally the article explained how to put the media files in one folder on the external file server and all the itunes definition files in another folder on the same external file server. It worked perfectly! All seemed well. Of course since making this change there have been many many updates to iTunes and the OS.
Recently, I was scanning through the folders of the external file server and noticed some media files that appeared in the iTunes application listing were missing in the physical iTunes media folder (folder A). After a little searching I found the media files were in the iTunes definitions folder (folder B). Initially I thought somehow I had changed the folder location under the iTunes advanced tab. I checked it stilled pointed to the ORIGINAL folder A location. Yet iTunes had for a while as it turns out had created a whole new media folder tree and was adding the media files to that media tree (folder B). This is the folder the original only contained the iTunes definitions.
Thinking I had made a mistake somewhere sometime ago, I copied all the media files to the proper folder (folder A) and reset the iTunes Media folder location to point to folder A. All was fine.
Today I added some new media to the iTunes library and once again, iTunes created a new media folder tree in folder B were only the iTunes definitions are supposed to be stored. So once again I moved the media files to the proper folder.
There is no question THIS IS A SOFTWARE BUG. It does NOT matter what folder location is specified in the Preferences->Advanced->itunes media location is specified, iTunes will either CHANGE the folder location to wherever the definitions files are located or begin putting the media files where the definitions files are located even though the iTunes media location is setting to a different folder.
when this started I do not know. I have been using itunes for a number of years and once I had my external file server set up never had reason to check it.
One might ask why put the media files in one location and the definition files in another location. That is because there was a time when iTunes for some reason would think it definition files were corrupted and start to do nasty things to the media library. Once I lost a number of songs it is then when I found a note in this forum that suggested putting the definitions in one folder and the media in another folder. It was great idea. Is there a work around of a fix for this bug?

Some additional information.
When I click the apps tab in iTunes, some of the applications listed are actually songs (the songs are also shown in the music list and point to the proper location), when I click Get Info on some of the apps, it points to a song, and some apps that actually exist in the Mobile Apps folder are shown to located in a song folder. Bottom line the apps database is corrupted.
When I consolidated the music files I did not touch the mobile applications folder. As best I can tell all the movies and songs are fine (about 3000 items in total).
When I export the library it does not include the apps in the xml file. So deleting the iTunes DB and re-importing the .xml will not work.
To recap. All the songs and movies are in one folder (folder A). This is the folder listed in the Preferences->Advanced->Itunes media location. The apps folder is located in a different folder (folder B) where the iTunes definition files are located. How they got there I do not know.
How do I fix the apps tab and have the app icons (and physical applications) to point to the proper location? Also to remove the songs listed in the apps list without removing the song from the iTunes library.

PSE7 Problem with Organizer - Folder Location Display

I keep encountering a wierd error and don't know why or how it is happening. I like to use this view I file pictures on my hard this way and this matches those files and then I can tag, make an album, etc. Sometimes the pictures that are in a file (on my hard drive) will for some reason (or after some event) not show up in the Folder Locations display with the same file name. Make sense? They will show in the file name below the folder they should be in and so on. For example I have 400 pictures from a recent trip to Trinidad in a Trinidad 2009 folder on my hard drive. When I had put these in to PSE7, they showed up in the catalog view in Trinidad 2009 because I made it a watch folder. Now they show up in another folder, the one below it. It is like every folder shifted down. I understand they are still in the same location on my hard drive. There seems to be some bug or error in PSE7 organizer. Can anyone help with this?

Folder Location view is quite buggy; see this FAQ:

Fix "Folder Location" in Display

I have a 2011 iMac that I transfered all my files to from a PC. I had to buy Photoshop Elements 8.0 in order to transfer my catalogue of 10,000 images with all the tags and albums etc into the Organizer for the mac. I understand that once images are imported into Organizer, all file management (moving images or folders that contain images) has to occur through Organizer (unlike Picasa) otherwise the catalogue can't locate the images.
If you move images in the Finder you must then search in Organizer to Relocate the image and Reconnect them with the catalogue. I found this out the hard way. I think that Photoshop ought to correct this to be able to move and have the catalogue find the images regardless how they are moved as file management should be able to occur either way. However, I know that you can do file management of images within Organizer and the Catalogue by chosing Folder Location view in the Display pull down on the upper right corner. However, there is a glitch. After I move images from one file or Folder Location to another in the Display, the Display does not accurately show where the new images are located. I find that some images are shown where I moved them and some in the adjacent folder. Yet, if I check the actual location in Finder they ARE moved to the designated folder. IE the Folder Location view does not reflect where the images actually are after you move them. This is a big problem if you have to do file management through Organizer because Folder location doesn't accurately show where images are.
Finally, I've played with Picasa and while I like the option for viewing ALL images chronologically like Photoshop, I also like the idea of being able to view images by the folder location. Folder Location in Photoshop could do this, but it only displays the lowest folder of image, rather than being able to click on a folder in Folder Location and show all the images in that folder by sub folders.
Any body else have this problem with images not correctly shown where they are in Folder Location under Display or want the option how to view images?

Vlad,
You'll get much faster and better responses in the Photoshop Elements forum. I had trouble even grasping what you're talking about.

Video Scenes cannot be seen in Folder Location View

I recently purchased Adobe Premier Elements 10 and downloaded approximately 80 video clips from my HD camcorder into the Elements Organizer 10. I wanted to customize the organization of the video files by creating new folders, which I was able to do successfully via the Folder Location view (in the Display options). Additionally, unknown to me at the time the Auto Analyzer was run and it created "Video Scenes" (i.e., it splits the master file into multiple "scenes" based upon noted shooting information, etc.) from several of my video clips prior to moving the video files to the new file folders that I created. I have confirmed via the Windows File Manager that all of the video files were moved as I intended. However, in the Display - Folder Location View, none of the Video Scenes show up, and all of the Video clips (i.e., the ones that the Auto Analyzer didn't split up) are viewable. (In the Thumbnail view, all files are still viewable.) Is there a way to correct this?
Also, I've noted in the help manuals, etc. that the Auto Analyzer functions can be customized, but I did not see an option that would turn off the creation of Video Scenes. Is there a way to do this without disabling the Auto Analyzer all together?
Thanks for any help offered.

Steve,
Thanks for your suggestion. I had checked the Edit/Preferences/Media-Analysis options previously. As I see them in Elements Organizer 10 they are: (1) analyze photos for people automatically, (2) analyze media for visual search automatically, (3) analyze media for smart tags automatically, (4) all filters, which includes face, audio, blur, brightness and contrast, motion, object motion, and shake, (5) run analyzer on system start up and (6) run analyzer only when system is in idle. None of these items seem on point in order to stop the creation of Video Scenes. Am I missing something, or are the options in Elements Organizer 10 different than prior versions.
Thanks,

Why do files disappear from Display Folder Location?

I have various folders with about 20 to 100 files in each one. I click on one of the pictures then choose Editor, Full Edit. I make a simple edit and save the file back to the same folder and name and close the file in the Editor. I return to the Organizer and display Folder Location. All the files that were in that folder are not displayed, just the one I edited. I tried various combinations of Show All Files, Add Unmanaged Files to Catalog, and Get Photos and Videos and none of them bring back the missing files. This happens repeatedly in any folder. The only thing that worked the first time this happened was to delete the entire catalog and recreate it. This however, is a lot of work. If I look at the folder from the OS point of view (XP Pro SP3) the files are in fact there and all pictures are fine. But they are not visible to the Oraganizer.
Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Alfred
