Mail created a new folder and throws some, not all, of my wife's email there

So my wife had been complaining about trouble finding all her emails after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I took a look and saw that in addition to her account (sub-in-box) under Inbox, she had a folder under "On My Mac" with emails there too. So I moved all the latter emails to her sub-Inbox and then deleted that "on my mac" folder. Well, that didn't work. The next day she said she was still having a problem. Turns out that the "on my mac" folder had come back to life somehow and Mail was sending some, but not all, of her emails there. There seems to be no sense to it. Some emails go into her "regular" account (under Inbox) and some into the "on my mac" folder. Many, but not all, of the latter are "junk" mail. So she still has to check both folders to see all her mail. How do I fix this?

Okay, thanks to nobody for their help. But I figured it out anyway. Somehow there was a rule which had the "if-then" result of "move to (my wife's name) mailbox" -- so when such an email arrived, Mail would have to create the (previously-deleted) mailbox in order to follow the rule. So I just deleted that rule.

Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.

Ok, so I have a problem where Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.
I have documented this problem on my blog here:
Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it Rhyous's 127.0.0.1 or ::1
This has my hardware details, etc...
I consider myself an expert at troubleshooting (being in support for over 10 years including time as a Lead Technician doing Windows 2000 support focussing on performance), and have checked quite a few things to try to pinpoint this issue, but I just can't find the cause.
I am asking others if they have seen this issue. I need to know if it is only on my workstation, or if others are seeing it as well.
Have you ever right-clicked, chose new folder and then had to wait 45 seconds for a new folder to appear.
Then the same thing when you try to rename the new folder, a hang of about 45 seconds before the new name take affect.
Anyway, let me know if you have experienced ths.

Hi,
I suggest you temporarily uninstall the antivirus program to check the issue. You need to make sure that you have the installation file to reinstall it later.
If it does not work, I suggest you also test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.
Good luck!

Can you create a new folder and put several documents in it in Adobe?

Thank you for your help. Now I just want to expand on this a bit. To use the Applescript you have supplied me, how do I tell it to name the folder other than by date, and where to put it?
Let me say, preferably, is it possible to make an action like this right-clickable? Instead of having to pick a script. Anything that slows this process down means I might as well do it all by hand. What I'd really love to do is this:
Select a number of items. Right click to an action saying "create a new folder and put this items in it. Name the folder with the first item's name". Very simple and quick.
Could this be accomplished? Through Automator? or something that can appear in the contextual menu? Folder actions?
I'm just getting started with using these tools.

A script to create a new folder and place selected items into it?

I'd like to select a few items and have either an Apple script / contextual menu automatically create a new folder and place the selected items inside it.
I have many, many to do—which is why I wanted to know if there is a script or automator or contextual menu thing available. Or if not, how can I create one?
Can that be done? Thank you!

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Lion Mail creates a new folder in Yahoo Mail called "Sent Messages"

For some reason, since updating to 10.7.5, Mail no longer puts sent messages into the proper "Sent" folder of my Yahoo accounts. It creates a new folder in Yahoo Mail called "Sent Messages" and stores them there. This new folder is only visible from iOS devices' Mail or by logging into Yahoo through a web browser. Lion Mail doesn't sync this new folder, for whatever reason.
Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or has found a fix.

HT2488 I imported pictures into iPhoto from my iPhone, when trying to find my pictures by clicking on iPhoto Library it is always empty. I had to create a new folder and copy the same exact pics in the new folder just to be able to access them.. help plea

I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.

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.

Creating a new folder and drive map with Preferences

So I am trying to set things up using GPP so that users of a particular security group get a U:\ drive at the following location:
\\server\share\%username%
I have set up the drive map preference & also a folders preference (to create the user's folder). The problem is that it works BACKWARDS and the drive tries to map prior to folder creation and thus fails, THEN the folder gets created. So
that the 2nd time the user logs in they actually get the U:\ drive at the correct location. The goal is to have the folder created and mapped to on the 1st try for the user.
How can I get this working WITHOUT resorting to scripts, folder redirection, or manually setting the U drive on the AD Profile? I just want that folder to be created for only users in the proper security group, and then have the drive map
to it.
# When I wrote this script only God and I knew what I was doing. # Now, only God Knows!

You cannot. The execution order of GPO parts (called Client Side
Extensions) cannot be changed, so you're stuck with this error if you
don't resort to a script :)

I deleted photo booth off my Mac. It is not in the application folder, and I do not have an installer CD. Is there anything I can do?

About a year ago I deleted Photo Booth. I somehow found a link to get it back, and it worked perfectly, but when I quit Photo Booth, I lost it. I could never find the link since. I have been looking for something despretly, but I have only found answers that have said "use your install CD". I got my Mac pre-used so I did not get it with any CD. Hence, my problem. I need someone to help. Maybe post another link or something?

check your purchase tab in the app store. if it does not show up there than you will have to buy it unless there is a backup available from a disc or time machine . hope this helps.

ITunes keeps creating a new folder called "Music".

Hello. This is really bothering me.
I have my music stored on a server in a folder called "Music". All of the meta data etc is perfect as i went through every track and edited them as needs be. After doing a fresh install on my Mac, i draged n dropped the contents of the "Music" folder into iTunes where it all imports with absolutly no problems (i had iTunes set to NOT edit track names etc with the location i'm dragging from set to my iTunes media directory). Once everything was back in iTunes, i rechecked the box that allows iTunes to organise and edit files again. As soon as a check that box iTunes decides to randomly move some artists into a new "Music" folder located inside the "Music" folder that i created (/Volumes/Media/Music/Music/).
Why is this happening? I see no reason why iTunes should move only some artists into a seperate folder with the same name as the parent folder i created.
Cany anyone help? My OCD is going mental haha.
Thanks,
Chris.

Hello.
If i set the location to /Volumes/Media/ it does not creat the "Music" folder and it put's all of the artist folders under /Volumes/Media/.
Are there any settings i can refresh or something?
I've tried deleteing my library and re-importing countless times now. I noticed that tracks/artists/albums are moved to the second "Music" folder once i play them in iTunes. I want iTunes to rename the files and stuff, this is how i got all of the metadata right in the first place, but why is it creating another "Music" folder? And why doesn't it do it if i set the location to /Volumes/Media/? I've never had this problem before with the exact same set up and media.
Can someone please explain how to start from scratch incase i did something wrong along the way which is causeing this issue?
Cheers,
Chris.

Creating a new folder starts up import dialog box...

When I click the plus sign on the folders panel, it takes me to the create folder dialog where I can browse to the location of the new folder.
Sometimes, after clicking OK, LR then starts up the import dialog box with a heap of images to import which I then need to cancel. I should have checked where the images were from but have not thought to do so before this post.
Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment.
As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location.

>"Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment. "
I can't duplicate this. Whether I have highlighted an existing LR folder or not, clicking the "+" brings up the create folder dialog, I browse to a location and create a subfolder. That folder then becomes a LR folder. If I do have a current LR folder highlighted, the process (or just right clicking on the folder name and choose "Create Folder") brings up the create folder dialog with the current LR folder as the parent. I can create a new folder and it will become a LR subfolder of the highlighted one.
>"As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location."
Actually, the new dialog that opens for me (as described above) places me in the selected folder - all I do is click the create folder button in that window and a new subfolder is made. I think the reason LR won't just create a new subfolder without going to a new dialog is that the folders panel lists the "LR folders" which are a parallel universe to the "real folders" on your drive. Perhaps the LR engineers thought that by providing you with the browser/creator dialog, they were giving you more control. Who knows.

Why not instruct MacOS 10.10 users in creating a new folder to use the wheel icon pull-down menu ...

Your instructions on creating folders aren't correct. for my Mac, saying nothing about having to
Open the Bookmarks pull-down menu
Select 'Unsorted Bookmarks'
Go to the top 'Wheel' icon
THEN you can create a new folder, and other good things
Bit of a pain. Otherwise, Firefox is great!

* Bookmarks created via a click on the star in the location bar are stored by default in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.
Another click on the blue highlighted star allows to edit the properties and move the bookmark to another folder.
* Bookmarks created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl + D) are stored at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder.
In the left pane in the Library (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) there are three folders in the "All Bookmarks" folder:
* "Bookmarks Toolbar"
* "Bookmarks Menu"
* "Unsorted Bookmarks"
You can add new bookmarks to one of those three Bookmarks folders, but you can not create a new folder or add bookmarks at the root level ("All Bookmarks") or remove one of the three root folders.
In the Bookmarks Manager you can also create a new folder via the Organize menu.
In the Bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac) you can do that via the right-click context menu.
There are three main Bookmarks folders and bookmarks can only be created in one of those folders and its sub folders.
* The "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the Bookmarks Toolbar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars).
* The "Bookmarks Menu" folder stores bookmarks that show in the Bookmarks menu and are created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or via "Bookmark This Link" in the right-click context menu.
* The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.
