Make folders or boxes to hold apps

if anyone can help me with my question, I would be thankfully. I am trying to organize my apps. Thanks, E

Press and hold an app for a couple of seconds or so and they should then start to shake. Then drag (not too quickly) one app over and on top of another and you should then get a folder created with the two apps in - you can then drag more apps into that folder (up to 20 can be in a folder), and/or create more folders. Press the home button when you've finished so as to stop the apps shaking. You can also create and organise folders via your computer's iTunes on the Apps tab on the right-hand side when you've connected and selected the iPad on the left-hand side.
There is some more info on folders in the iPad manual which you can download from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

How To make Folders For Apps?

I'm a newbie convert to the iPhone, and can't figure out if I can make Folders for my Apps. I'd like to keep similar apps together without having to search through to locate any specific app.
Any help would be appreciated!

To make folders, enter the app editing mode by holding your finger on any app. Little white X’s will appear above each app, and all apps will shake back and forth. Hold your finger on the app you want to add to a folder and drag the app towards another app that you want to add to the new folder. You'll then be given the option to edit the folder name. By default, iPhone gives the folder a generic name that may or may not have much to do with both apps. Click the bottom of the screen to return to apps edit mode. The new folder now appears in the list with the name you gave it, and with small icons of the apps contained in the folder. From here, you can drag more apps into the new folder. To remove apps from a folder, click the folder and simply drag the app’s icon to the main part of the screen with the other apps. When finished, hit the home button.

I am using Pages app but I can not make folders as instructed in help menu

I am using Pages app but I can not make folders as instructed in help menu

While in Pages looking at the screen with all your documents, touch and hold a document until it starts to jiggle. Then touch a document and drag it on top of another holding it there for a couple of seconds until a folder forms. While things are still jiggling you can click on the folder name and change it. And while still jiggling you can drag more files into the folder, or create another folder.
Much the same as you create folders of apps on your home screen.

How do I rearrange apps and make folders using a Focus 40 braille display

I am using a Focus 40 braille display with an iPad2. What are the commands/how do I rearrange apps and make folders when accessing in this manner? Thanks in advance.

Assuming you sync with iTunes then there will be a backup maintained by iTunes. Just sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer everything from the backup to the phone.

Main iTunes screen: can't make any adjustments to select-deselect apps,etc

I'm helping a PC friend of mine. He has iPad 2, W7-fresh install, latest iTunes with iPad connected and viewing the contents on main iTunes screen, he can not make any adjustments to selecting apps (putting a check box next to app to include in next sync for ex.) He can not click on the mini ipad desktop screens for each page (along side the right side) to jump to different pages and rearrange icons. WEIRD! I've never seen this on the Mac side.
Almost seems like some type of permissions issue in windows...??? HELP ! ! !

solved it. He was working between 2 PCs and did not "Authorize" under AppleStore menu listing for this new PC.

Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps

Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps.
Why no tleave them spread out I hear you ask... That is not practicable. I then have 12 pages to scan rather than just two. I need a solution... :-P

I realize this is an old thread but I'm having the same problem after upgrading my software today. Kinda surprised there are no solutions at all with 88 views. I have an iPod touch btw, not an iPhone, but it prob wouldn't make much difference in this case.
The thing is, I get the screen(s) looking EXACTLY as I want on iTunes...just perfect (which is what I believe everyone else is experiencing as well). When we go to sync tho, it does whatever it wants to do. After syncing, all the apps are there, it's just that for me, it puts them in some type of random order. I have 72 apps and this is absolutely ridiculous!
Thanks in advance for any fixes anyone might have...

Anyone know how to make folders for Word and Powerpoint?

I've been trying to make folders for my word documents. i dont know how though!! Thanks for the help!

Open Finder, highlight your Macintosh HD and select New Folder. Name it whatever you want. In Word there is an option to Save File in X folder. Select that new folder you created. Alternative to this is when saving a file a dialog window will open where you can select the folder to save in, select the folder you created and there should be an option to make this the Default folder to save to (but not sure about that option in the Save dialog box).

How to make folders in numbers

how do you make folders in Numbers for templates and spreadsheets.

This sounds like an iOS (iPad/iPhone) question. If so please let us know, using the "report post" can be used to have it moved to the iOS forums.
In iOS, you use the same method as you do in the main operating system. From your spreadsheet list, Tap and hold till they wiggle, then move one on top of another.

How to make folders in photo?

How to make folders in the photo app pre-loaded on the IPad?

Whne you are in the screen where you can select which Album to view, there should be an Edit button top right of the screen - tap that and then tap the New Album button that will then show top left and name your new album. You will then be shown thumbnails of your photos so that you can 'copy' those photos into that new album.
From what I understand with how it works, those photos won't be moved into the new album, instead they will remain in the original album and a pointer to them will go in the new album - so if you then delete the photo from its original album it will also be removed from all new albums that you've 'copied' it into.

Automator action with dropdown to make folders with predetermined names

Is there an action/workflow that will allow me to create Folders using a dropdown menu of predetermined names for those folders?

I haven't seen one, and since no one has posted about one yet, I'll throw this out.
I modified a couple of handlers I have laying around into a Run AppleScript action that will make folders from a list of names. The list can be set in a Get Specified Text action, with the "menu" being a Choose from List action:
Tested workflow:
1) Get Specified Text (your folder names, separated by returns) for example:
Testing
Another test
My Spiffy New Folder
2) Filter Paragraphs (Return paragraphs that are not empty)
3) Choose from List (Prompt: Please choose folder names:)
4) Run AppleScript:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
make folders with names from a list
input: a list of names (text items)
output: a list of Finder items (aliases) created
set output to {}
set DestinationFolder to missing value -- set the destination path here if desired
try -- verify that the path is valid
set DestinationFolder to DestinationFolder as alias
on error
set DestinationFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the location to make the selected folders:")
end try
repeat with AnItem in the input
GetUniqueName for AnItem from DestinationFolder -- avoid duplicates
try
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at DestinationFolder with properties {name:the result}
set the end of the output to the result as alias
end try
end repeat
return output
end run
to GetUniqueName for SomeName from SomeFolder
check if SomeName exists in SomeFolder, creating a new unique name if needed
parameters - SomeName [text]: a name.extension to check for
SomeFolder [mixed]: a folder to check
returns [text]: a unique name
set {Counter, Divider} to {"00", "_"}
set Here to -(offset of "." in ((reverse of text items of SomeName) as text)) - 1
set TheName to text 1 thru Here of SomeName
if Here is -1 then -- no extension
set TheExtension to ""
else
set TheExtension to text (Here + 1) thru -1 of SomeName
end if
set NewName to TheName & TheExtension
tell application "System Events" to tell (get name of items of folder (SomeFolder as text))
repeat while it contains NewName
set Counter to text 2 thru -1 of ((100 + Counter + 1) as text) -- leading zero
set NewName to TheName & Divider & Counter & TheExtension
end repeat
end tell
return NewName
end GetUniqueName</pre>
- the output from the Run AppleScript action is a list of aliases to the folders created, if you want that information to do something with.

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

How can I make a gray box or gray screen in Pages over a few lines of text?

Thanks. Almost what I was looking for.
While that makes for a gray over the lines, it still does not form a box.
Any other suggestions to form a solid rectangular gray box?

How can I make a text box in Aperture transparent??

Hello,
After a great trip to Thailand I want to make a book of all my pictures using Aperture 3. At some places in the book I use a title to indicate what will be shown on the image. This title is made by the text box and it is put on the image itself. Now what I would like is to make is a transparent bar of the text box, so that I still can see the details of the image through this bar and also read the text about the image easily.
I have no problems making this text box and putting it in the right place, the thing that I don't understand, after two nights of trying, is how to make this text box transparent.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Perhaps I need to reformulate what I exactly want to do...!
I would like to use transparent text boxes but not as transparent as the image itself. I want to show the text box as a real bar but slightly different than the original image colour. So something between a normal image and a white bar so that it will be a bit transparent but also shown as a real bar..
I think the text boxes of each theme are identical, so yes you are right about the transparent text boxes of art collection but they are the same as photo essay.
Do you understand what I mean?

How can I make a color box indicator transparent?

All, I would like to make a color box, which is part of a cluster in an array, transparent programmatically. Instead of appearing transparent, it shows up with a LARGE "T" inside the color box, with a white background. Because it is part of a cluster within an array, it will not work to use a property node... and because I would like to programmatically change the color, having it permanenty transparent (as proposed on another discussion topic) will also not work. Can someone please help me turn a color box transparent programmatically?
Thanks.
Anthony

The problem is that arrays of clusters cannot be passed into property nodes as falkpl has previously said. The attached jpeg shows how you would programmatically break the arrays into cluster, into elements, and then manipulate that color box to a transparent one. The T within the white color box indicates transparent though. If you were to attached that to a color attribute then you would see that object disappear (well I guess not since it's transparent )
