Move To command in Apple's 10.9 Apps

OK, aside from my wanting to strangle whoever thought doing away with Save As was a good idea, can someone tell me if I'm just missing the goal of Move To?  Isn't it to move an open file to an existing folder, wherever that folder may be, as long as I have access?  Apparently not, if it's more than one folder deep from an item in the sidebar.
I want to move an open TextEdit or Preview file to a new location without leaving the app.  I choose Move To..., click on the sidebar icon of where i want it to go (let's say a shared drive on a server). Then I try to open a folder in that shared drive with the intention of putting the file into a SUBfolder of that folder but .. whoops!  I can't!  I dropped it into the top folder as soon as I choose it.  Doesn't this go against a basic assumption of what's supposed to happen when the user tries to traverse folders?  I hate trying to use the little triangular subfolder/indent thing.  Is there some trick or something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Jeff

When you want to move the file to a folder that is not displayed on the list provided by "Move to...", select "Other...", which is down at the bottom of the list. Then you should be able to navigate as usual.  Are you saying that doesn't work properly?
Also: a quick way to get to the "Move to" thing is to click on the title of the window you are using.

  • When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • AHHH! "move to" command

    hi,
    been back to mac for a few years now but i still miss my "right click - move to (folder)" command from winxp. did a search for "finder move menu item" and found the solution...for osx 10.5.8. Thus the "AHHH!" in the title. Abracode is available but it uses some kind of shortcut thing that i dont really understand am pretty sure will not give me the simplicity of a "move to" option when i right click. any help for snow leopard would be much appreciated. oh yea, and i know how to move while holding the "apple" key. thanks again.

    Create an Automator Service that accepts Files and Folders in Finder and add a Move Finder Items action. Choose a destination for it to start in, and click on Options and set it to show this action when the workflow runs. Or, you could just pick a destination and make multiple default destination actions without setting the option to show the pick destination dialog.

  • How can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay, how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

  • HT1386 Can I move music from one apple account to another?

    Can I move music from one apple account to another?

    Typically not.  Consider the case where you used an Apple account (call it A1) to purchase songs from iTunes.  Now you are interested in moving your music to account A2.  Well A2 does not own the music - A1 does.  So that's a problem.

  • How do I move music from one apple ID to another

    How do I move music from one apple ID to another?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data (including the calendar) to the new account.  To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (Note, this will delete the account from your iPad but not from iCloud.  The account will remain in iCloud if anyone else chooses to remain signed into it an continue to use it.)  Next, set up the new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.*  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    * If you only want to upload the calendar, only turn Calendar to On; but I'm assuming you will be the owner and want this to be your iCloud account on your iPad with all your data, and then your can share the calendar with others and administrate it.

  • How can we move the 'application data\apple computers' folder to another location

    We use roaming profiles and the Application Data folder is stored on a network drive with restricted space (500MB).  This has not been a problem in the past but since we've been rolling out iPad's & iPhones, this restriction is becoming a problem as iTunes download's ios updates and stores device backups in 'application data\apple computers' folder (and not in the media library).
    Does anyone know how we can move this 'application data\apple computers' folder to another location or force iTunes to store the downloads/updates in the media library (which can be moved)?
    Thanks very much in advance for any help.

    Move the iTunes Library elsewhere, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it there.

  • Purchased movie wont play on apple TV

    Hello
    i purchased a movie yesterday on the Ituens store to play via airplay and apple tv on my TV but get a message there is a technical problme playing the movie. All my other movies which are not itunes movies play fine through apple TV o
    on the TV screen I get the message you need to autorize your computer with Ituens store which is. Now could it be that I do not have a internet conection at home , do i need to be conected to internet to play this movie via apple tV which does not make sense as I can play it fine on the computer withouth being on the internet

    I believe I am experiencing the same problem. When I try to stream iTunes-purchased movies from my iPad 2 to an Apple TV without Internet Connection (used only for AirPlay) I get the error "The operation could not be completed An unknown error occurred (3)"
    Extremely frustrating and goes to show that you dont really own your iTunes movie given these use cases where you have to "phone home" to Apple for permission to play it. Add it to the long list of reasons we're better off grabbing these from torrent... Plays on any device, doesn't phone home, wider selection, etc. Eventually movies will get over their DRM fetish just like music did. Until the multi-millionaire executives get that through their thick heads, millions of people will continue to be frustrated and just pirate cuz it's such a better experience. And free, but that isn't even the issue for me.

  • Streaming iCloud movie from iPad to Apple TV via AirPlay resulted no picture but sound.

    I notice that movie (iTunes purchased) that store in my iPad 2 when AirPlay to Apple TV 3 everything fine but for iCloud movie streaming (iTunes purchased that store in iCloud), I only manage to get sound from Apple TV 3, no picture. Apple TV only displayed running time. This happen after Apple TV new updates few days ago. Before update, everything is fine.
    I used iPad 2 to stream iCloud movies to Apple TV because the streaming is much faster than using Apple TV 3 own streaming which some times the buffer took quite some times to load.
    And why on my iPad 2 which still running iOS 5.1.1 the AirPlay icon missing the Mirroring on/off icon. In AirPlay I can only choose iPad or Apple TV but without the Mirroring on/off icon.
    If I AirPlay iTunes purchases movies (iCloud Streaming) to Apple TV, my Pioneer AV amp decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but if I connect using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI into Pioneer AV amp, I only manage to get PCM Stereo track.
    If the iTunes purchases movies have been downloaded and store on my iPad 2, then either AirPlay or using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI, my Pioneer AV decode Dolby Digital 5.1
    I planning to purchase Mac Mini for storage iTunes purchases movies and listening music plus some PC users. Should I ditch Apple TV or should I use both ?

    That app has not been enabled for airplay, it is up to the developer to do so

  • Can't play a movie I rented on Apple TV

    I just rented a movie on my new Apple TV and when I try to play it it says "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content."
    I rented a movie a few days ago, and it went fine. My internet connection is more than fast enough. I did not rent this via my computer or iPad or iTunes - I rented it directly on ATV. So I've paid for it, but can't watch it.
    Any fix for this?

    Try to get a refund, I'm not sure of the number but you can call 800-APL-CARE to try to get redirected to the right place to get a refund or answer your problem. I don't know anything regarding your issue.

  • Move to command unavailable in Adobe Bridge?

    What causes this?
    The Move To comand is shadowed and unavailable. The Copy To command appears to be available, but does not work. And I am unable to drag files to folders.
    I have restarted, purged the caches, restarted again.
    Negative effect.
    Can anyone advise?.
    CS5 on OSX

    The move to and copy functions worked in other apps; the Batch Rename command was also shadowed and I was unable to rename files/folders manually in Bridge.
    Problem seemed to be only in one set of files in several folders.
    I could create new folders and drag other files to them and then the functions where available, but not those original files and original folders.
    Since could not move, copy, drag or batch rename files, I was unable to place existing files in new folders.
    Solution: Move To Trash command was functionnal, so moved all folders to trash, then created new folder on desktop dragged contents of trashed files to new desktop file. Viola: problem solved.

  • I bought a 3tb Time Capsule and would like to stream movie from it to my Samsung Smart TV.  Do I need Apple TV or Another App?

    I bought a 3tb Time Capsule and would like to stream movies from it to my Samsung Smart TV.  Do I need Apple TV or Another App?

    TC is not a media device.. it has no media smarts at all.
    And Apple TV is not a media player .. it is strictly a streamer.
    Apple have built their entire media system around itunes.. so without itunes running on a computer nothing will happen.
    The TC is unsuitable as location for your iTunes library as well.. you are simply slowing down the access to the library and making streaming more prone to glitches.
    TC is for TM backups.
    Use your Mac with iTunes library on an external hard disk if it is too big to fit in the internal disk.
    The samsung TV cannot use the TC either because it needs a DLNA server extension on the storage.
    There is however one way.. and not recommending it.. just saying it can be done.
    Depending on how your media files are formatted.. you can use a WD live TV.
    Because WD TV is a full media player and can play raw media files (almost any format) directly from a media source without DLNA, you can play your movie files.. but IMHO it is much easier to simply get a WD MyCloud or any cheap NAS.. that has built in DLNA media server.. almost all do.. and then your TV can play the media directly without any other player.
