Maintaining folder structure within iPod

So here's how my music folder is organized -
Top level -
MyEnglishSongs
--Artist_1
--Artist_2
GameSoundTracks
--Game_1
--Game_2
SongsFromFriend_1
--Movie_1
--Movie_2
SongsFromFriend_2
--Movie_1
--Movie_2
MyHindiSongs
--Movie_1
--Movie_2
MyTamilSongs
--Movie_1
--Movie_2
Anyway I can duplicate this structure? I am not liking the flatly laid out structure of songs, and I prefer things this way because I am able to locate the songs I want easier.
Also note, the songs don't really have correctly labelled ID3 tags.
I am guessing there's no way to duplicate folders exactly, but is there anyway I can similarly achieve the same? As I mentioned in my other post, I have a total of around 200 folders and 1800+ songs, all categorized only by their folders. Any suggestions?

You know that you can access songs on the Touch by Artist or by Album as well as by song, right?

It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer. How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

Keeping Folder structure on Ipod

Let's say I have 5 different folders in one of my directories -- each folder contained about 20 MP3's. I want to import these songs into Itunes while still maintaining the folder structure. In other words, once imported, I would like to be able to view the folders in the exact way that I view them on my PC.
Would I have to create seperate playlists for every folder and then import songs into those specific playlists? Is there an easier way?

After the playlists are created - is there a way to setup a synch so that any updated MP3's in my folders will automatically update the playlist?
For example, let's say I have a folder called Bruce Springsteen with 13 MP3's. I created a playlist called Bruce Springsteen to keep the structure. Now I add another 2 MP3's to the Bruce folder. Would I have to manually import those 2 additional files to the Bruce playlists?
Also - how can I set the Ipod to NOT synch when I plug it in. Since I have to create seperate playlists for each folder, I would rather do it manually so as to not mess up the structure.
Thank you.

Maintaining folder structure in content server

Hi,
There are times when we have a .swf object and associated xml files all in a particular folder structure and we need to maintain that in the content server because there wil be internal references.
Is there anyway in which we can store the folder structure in UCM and use paths like /images/test.swf instead of the httprelativewebroot url.
Thanks
John

I believe you typed that address into your browser to get that error message right?
You can use webdav by opeing My Network Places (if on windows) and clicking Add new Place.
Follow the steps and when it asks for Internet or network address - http://localhost/idc/idcplg/webdav of course replacing "localhost/idc" with your server name and instance name.
Then you should be able to browse that folder you just setup. It might ask you to log in depending on how you have your security setup.
Then drag and drop away.
If you aren't on windows you might want to google connecting to webdav for your operating system.

HT2729 How can I maintain folder structure when copying more than 1 folder of videos to the iphone?

Spent hours trying to figure this out - no luck!
I have a video tutorial course that I would like to be able to view on my iPhone, the only problem is that it is broken down into 6 folders - 1 for each subject.
And if I add the whole course to be synced via iTunes it gets copied ok. But it loses the original folder names that the files are stored in on my PC
ALL the videos files copied to the iPhone are bunched togeather in the Video app and it takes forever to figure out which one comes next.
How can I maintain the original folder names/structure that the files are stored in on my PC on the iPhone?

To follow how I solved this it might be good to know what I started with:
I have a main folder which I called 'Music Theory' and 6 sub-folders: 101, 102, 103, ....etc.
with up to 20 or so videos in each one.
Note: Only import one sub-folder at a time into iTunes and then do all the following actions BEFORE importing the next sub-folder:
Add only 1 sub-folder to the 'Films' section in iTunes (either drag and drop or use the File - Add Folder to Library).
Select all the imported videos (hold down the Ctrl + A keys on the keyboard simultainiously).
Right click and select 'Get Info'
Then you may get a pop-up with this text but just click the 'Yes' button:
You should now have the 'Multiple Item Information' window showing. Click on the 'Options' tab and edit as below:
Tick: 'Media Kind'              and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'TV Programme'
Tick: 'Part of a Compilation' and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'Yes'
Tick: 'Remember Position'        and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'Yes'
Now click on the 'Video' Tab of the 'Multiple Item Information' window and edit:
The 'Programme' text field (I entered Music Theory) This will be the main heading for all the folders that I want to add to this series.
The 'Series' text field (I entered 101 for the first sub-folder)
Now click the 'OK' button.
iTunes now starts processing all you have done and moves the vildeos to the 'TV Progammes' section.
The first part is now done!
Now you should repeat all the actions you have done from the start on each sub-folder you want to include in this Video collection, then when you've done that you can upload the lot to your device (iPhone in my case) with this last step:
All you need to do now is select your device under 'Devices' in the left hand menu and tick the 'Sync TV Progammes' box in the 'TV Progammes' section and select the series that you want include in the right hand area. And then click 'Apply' and now your done!!!    :-)

Routing from Drop Off library - How to maintain same folder structure in target library after routing

Hello,
After routing from drop off library to other target library, how can I maintain folder structure dynamically.
For example
Inside Drop off library user creates folder on monthly basis
1. Drop Off > Feb > Document 1
2. Drop Off > March > Document 1
Now after routing i want to have same folder structure created inside target library. So target should library look like
Target Lib > Feb > Document 1
Target Lib > March > Document 1
Please Note - folder creation in drop off library happens every month, and user can choose any Name for these folders, so here I can not consider Static Routing rules.
Kindly help me out.
Thanks!!!
Mayank Nigam

The content organizer can't do that. If you really need this functionality, you'll need a workflow to do it. But you also need to consider if the use of folders per month is really what you want here. Maybe you'd prefer to use metadata instead of folders
for grouping.
Kind regards,

How can I batch Save For Web and maintain a multilevel folder structure?

First... I am using an old version of Photoshop.... 6.0 to be exact. If your answer is to buy the newer versions, I respectfully say I know that's AN answer, but I'm looking for something that will work with my setup. The version we have works just fine for the very few things we need it for, and we use new versions of InDesign and Acrobat for all else.
So here's the challenge:
We have a weekly magazine featuring 1,200 plus photos of cars for sale, each saved in a folder named for the sales rep, week and day. I must maintain these folder structure throughout the process, as the files names are duplicated by cameras and across reps. So I cannot dump all batch converted pics into one single folder, yet I need to reduce the Quality setting which I find when completing a Save As in Photoshop.
So I want to batch convert all the photos in multiple folders, some 3 folders deep, all at once.... reduce to 8 inches across, change to 72dpi, and reduce the quality slider to 5, which creates a nice 60-90K file. BUT.... it wants to save all of them in a particular folder. I need to just overwrite the original file with the new smaller one.... or save the new small version into the same folder the big one is in, but have it work with the "include all sub-folders" option in batch.
A sample File system .... 4513 Photos - Color <day of week> (3 folders) - <disk number><rep>Color (20 folders) - actual photos.
After converting, we push up the final level of folder to our website and that organization allows us to use them there the way we need. The uploading to the site and batch functions are done 3 to 4 times per week.... on different days.
Is there a way to reduce the quality (compression) of the jpgs that does not require the creation of a new file in a particular folder, or is there a way to have the resulting file just drop back into the folders and subfolders during a batch function? I just can't figure this out!
As an alternative, what other programs might do this?

You should be able to just use the html output of the Export for Web function and, if the video's converted correctly, just swap the file names at the appropriate places. Have you tried renaming VisualHub's output to what the Export for Web html wants, then placing it in the proper location?
I'm not aware of a way to batch create the html files, but if I had to, I'd probably look at automator to see if I could figure out it's text manipulation options.

Maintain smart folder structure when exporting

When exporting a project with albums the result is a folder structure that matches (the project is at the root with multiple dirs underneath that correspond to the albums). However when I do this with smart albums within a project the result is just a single directory with all images crammed in that one directory. Is there a way around this? I wa

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can connect the two computers so that the iPhoto Library on each can be accessed by the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager (residing on one of the two Macs) and then copy the albums or events, including keywords, descriptions and titles from the laptop library to the desktop Mac.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Need to batch convert PDF to RTF while maintaining original folder structure

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I need a way to batch convert PDF files to RTF while maintaining the original folder structure. So for instance, I might get a set of interview transcripts that were conducted with members of 1000 randomly selected households in 3 different cities. Something like this, where the words in all caps are folder names:

As u can see, the folder structure can get quite complicated and it's important to keep it the same. Is there any way I can batch convert without having to open all 1000 files at once (which would crash the computer) or without having to add each subfolder to the Export Multiple Files window?
I also tried saving the original folders and files in a portfolio and then converting the portfolio, but that puts all the converted files in a single folder.

For the output location choose 'Same Folder as Original(s)'
Yes, I've done that many times. It doesn't put them in the correct folder structure, it just puts all the new files in the highest-level folder.

Is there any way to maintain the folder structure using the audio converter

hi, please, i need help
I want to convert some 24 bit wav files into 24 bit Apple Lossless files.
dBpoweramp converter doesn't allow 24 bit files for Apple Lossless
iTunes doesn't keep the folder structure, is there any option to change that?
thanks

When iTunes does a format conversion, it stores the new file in an Album folder within an Artist folder. It does not matter where the original file is. It does not provide any other option.

I wanted to transfer 4000 photos from my PC to my IPOD and IPAD, I did this but I thought the images would be still in their folders and not in an individual format, how do I retain the folder structure and transfer?

I transferred my photos from my PC to my IPOD and IPAD, c. 4000. I thought they would be transferred in the existing folders, all I got was 4000 individual photos, how do I retain the folder structure?

If you are syncing a number of folders from your computer then each folder should get it's own album on the iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236) - I assume that you've touched the 'Albums' button at the top of the Photos app so as to view them by album, and not just the Photos 'button'.
You could try closing the Photos app completely and then re-opening it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Another option is to try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

New iPhoto 6 Library/Folder Structure - Driving us nuts!

All of our photos were previously stored in iPhoto 5 in folders listed by year, month then day. This was perfect for us as we take multiple photos on one card on differant dates and made for easy tracking/finding. On upgrading to iPhoto 6 we now have the following:
Originals - Okay the folder name makes sense but they are stored by year and the a roll number, no month no day.
Modified - Again folder name makes sense (photos that were modified from original) but the same lame date/roll number filing
iPhoto Cache - Not sure what this is for (temp storage?). When and should it be cleaned out, like internet cache?
Data - Not sure what this folder is for, but has many of the same images as other folders. Same issue with they structure (year/roll)
Also 10 other files which I am sure are for library database etc.
We then have 3 addtional folders with year (2004, 05 and 06) with the structure of (year/month/day). Why are these outside of Originals? How did they maintain the preferred file structure.
Can we get back to the year/month/date file structure? In addtion, some of the dates of photos are whacked out. Trip to Oregon in 2004 is listed as 1999. I didn't even have a digitial camera then. Others of the same trip are in 2004.
Help...

restuart:
Isn't the cache folder titled "iPod Photo Cache"? It has to do with adding photos to an iPod. Even if you don't sync photos to an ipod there'll be that folder if you've ever connected an iPod.
The Data folder contains the thumbnail files for each photo.
Regarding the year folder with the old structure, I believe it's like our appendix, no longer needed. I had a 2005 folder with just photo in it. I moved it to the desktop and opened iPhoto, went to the roll that had that picture in and it was there and useable. I've since trashed that 2005 folder. Give it a try. and see if there's any problems with removing it. Make a backup of the library folder beforehand just in case.
There is some sort of bug with the roll dates. When you import an old folder of files it uses one of the modified dates instead of the captured date on many of the rolls. I haven't figured out how it determines which date on which photo to use. It's easy to change the date of the roll so it is located in the proper chronological position among the other rolls.
The current folder structure is a result of many requests to get iPhoto in line with other more professional image management applications. iPhoto's new capability of being able to use alias files instead of copying the entire file into it's new folder system allows it to be able to use soruce image files that are on another HD/CD /DVD and if the source files are not mounted iPhoto can still see the thumbnails, make and manipulate albums but cannot edit or work with books, slideshow or calendars. Once the photos come back on line iPhoto can use them again. This way users can develop their own folder/cataloging system and iPhoto will construct it's library in accordance with it.

Folder Structures For Music

Greetings Everyone,
I have an iPod Classic (160gb) connecting to a Windows XP PRO machine.
I understand how to sync music to the player.
I understand how to create playlists in with iTunes.
I understand how to create folders in iTunes to organize the playlists with.
The format of the music file is when it is loaded into the iPod is not an issue.
Here Is the problem:
I have thousands of music files [MP3's] that I have sorted into well over 100+ folders.
Normally, with any other MP3 player I could simply drag folders onto that MP3 Player and there they would be organized the way I want them.
I wish to do the same with the iPod the only problem is that either the Intuitive people at Apple have made dragging and dropping folders into iTunes impossible [while maintaining the original folder structure] or I am just missing how to do it.
For instance, when I drag three folders into iTunes instead of creating three folders with playlists in each folder iTunes simply merges all the songs into one list totally negating the point of a folder structure.
Now, as I stated, I am fully aware of how to make the folder structure in iTunes myself, but I often add new songs and albums, and the thought of manually updating each individual folder every time I add new songs is tedious and depressing.
I have looked the issue up and even tried many third party programs but none of them address the specific issue I have had. Most the searches result in "Xfer iPod files to PC" or vice versa, I have all the files on the PC and I can get them to the iPod, I simply want an easier way to put a folder structure into iTunes.
Simply put, I want to be able to copy a folder from Windows into iTunes and have it create an iTunes Folder and a playlist rather than having to create the folder in iTunes myself, then dragging the songs into it to create a playlist.
If there truly is no way to do this a concrete "not possible" answer would be appreciated.
If there is a better forum for this question please advise and I will post it there.
The iPod family is truly a fantastic product line with a great many features but something that is so simple with other MP3's is truly eluding me and I hope the answer is a simple on that I have well, simply missed.
At this point I will even take a highly complicated How-To as I have no problem "jimmy-rigging" it to work if I knew how.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

iTunes doesn't care about or read any meaning into the folder structure. You can stop iTunes moving your files around by turning off *Keep the iTunes Media folder organised* in *Edit > Preferences > Advanced* but you probably know this already. There is no mechanism in iTunes itself to reveal the folder structure, or use it to create smart playlists. iTunes works with the tags. Put meaningful infomration in there and iTunes can be very powerful. It all depends on exactly what it is you want to achieve. If you can cope with a bit of programming it is possible to write scripts which could transfer the meaning from your folder structure into the tags in some format that iTunes could then use.

Edit folder structure in solar01

Hello,
I am creating an implmentation project. In the solar01 transaction I want to delete the subfolders 'Org Units', 'Master Data' and 'Interface Scenarios'. Any idea how we can do that. I only want to see the Business Scenarios in teh folder structure.
Please guide.
Thanks,
Basis Admin

Hi
I saw you already pasted in one thread requesting to share the customizing development since we couldnt remove the sap standards,
I understood that maintaining the list of all org units,master data in common on respective common folders and again in business scenarios maintain the same with the scenario wise it is some what rigid.
but alternatively you can list all the org units and Master data in first two folders and refer these to the folders inside the scenarios,dont copy
This help you to list all the entities in one folder each and all the needed are listed within the scenario too,
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Exporting project- folder structure to other Non-Aperture applications

Hello,
I'm about to lay the foundation for a new Aperture installation. As far as organizational structure goes, this what I have in mind:
1 Project / year
1 Album / event
Example:
Project 1993
Derek's Birthday album
Linda's wedding album
Project 1994
Robert Birthday album
Bob wedding album
At some point, I will want to export the whole structure or some projects to family and friends who would like to view these images on their PC (not everyone is converted to MAC, yet).
I understand the Export>Projects command generates a file that can only be understood by Aperture, so useless for sharing with non-aperture users. What I'd like to do is:
1) Translate the project-album structure to a folder-subfolder structure in order to share images with other PC users.
2) At the same time export images versions as opposed to masters.
3) At the same time export all added Metadata.
I have the feeling Aperture is not ready to do all of the above with one command only. How can I maintain the project structure in order to share with other PC users? I guess only a script will be able to do this...
Thanks for your feedback.

1) Translate the project-album structure to a folder-subfolder structure in order to share images with other PC users.
Albums simply don't translate sensibly into Finder folders, in the same way that iTunes playlists don't. Any one Version can exist in any number of Albums, so you'd either end up having to choose one place for the exported file to be and remove it from all the other folders representing Albums, or end up with multiple duplicate copies of the same file.
Projects, on the other hand, can be mapped directly to Finder folders. So you might be better off using Blue Folders and Projects rather than Projects and Albums.
2) At the same time export images versions as opposed to masters.
3) At the same time export all added Metadata.
Exported Versions will automatically include IPTC & EXIF metadata, assuming you chose an export preset with metadata included.
I have the feeling Aperture is not ready to do all of the above with one command only.
There are some AppleScripts that will replicate the structure within Aperture when exporting (or Aperture Assistant* to do it without any scripting knowledge), but as I mentioned already, you will end up with multiple duplicate files.
Also, you would have to do this again every time that you alter a Version, import files or move Versions around.
Basically, the virtual nature of both images and organisation in Aperture mean that it won't really work in the way that you wish, and LightRoom wouldn't be much better even though it has closer ties to the folder structure.
Why not simply export a Projects-worth of images in this way rather than your whole Library?
