Move up one level in path and make new folder

How do I get applescript to make a new folder one level up from myFolder i.e.
set myFolder to ¬
(choose folder with prompt "Where are the image files for which you want to change exif data ?") as reference
make new folder at myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}
makes a new folder inside myFolder, but how do I tell it to move up one level from myFolder and make a new folder?
Thanks.
Pedro

You can use statements such as the following ones:
*tell application "Finder" to make new folder at container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
or
*tell application "Finder" to make new folder at container of container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
and so on…
And if you want the folder “myFolder” to be contained by the folder “Gallery JPEGs”, use the following statements:
*tell application "Finder"*
*make new folder at container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
*move myFolder to the result*
*end tell*

"AS?" What's that?
myFolder? What application are you using? I think you are in the wrong forum.

Why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas

I am on a IMAC and upgraded to 10.6.8 Jan 2014. I am using CS4 Illustrator to create with. When i save my work as a pdf then reopen the pdf in Ill to make changes, the whole page has:
A.) Multiple clipping paths around it
B.) Most text has now become outlined. Not editable anymore.
C.) Gradient areas have multiple clipping paths of the single gradient area
D.) The gradient areas now become rasterized.
This is very frustrating as now all of my marketing files, some 300+, are worthless. I don't know where to look anymore to find the problem.
Please help.
Thank you very much

John,
I have the presets as you have shown. I had been editing the supplied items as you suggested. Then figured i should ask the questions of those who are better than I.
But still a bit confused as to why the new save places clipping paths around the document.
Thank you John and Monika for your help.

I do a save as "pdf" in the format pull down tab. I save to a folder on the hard drive. Where is the "Illustrator editability" check box? I presumed it is in Acrobat some where
but i seem to be lost.
It is in Illustrator's Save Adobe PDF dialog, which pops up before the saved file is written.

Sorry i didn't mention this, but this seems to have occurred when using images and text from provided pdfs.
That's a critical fact. If you didn't do the original save, the above is moot, and it's too late to exercise any control over the save process. Someone else failed to save for editability. The only thing you can do is clean up/repair the content, (release clipping masks, rebuild rasterized elements, expand objects, etc.), and save correctly as AI. Then, if necessary, re-save as PDF with the correct settings.

I downloaded a movie on one of my computers, and yet I can't see it in my purchases and I can't download it on any other devices. Any suggestions?

Films will only show in your library if you've downloaded it on that computer or copied it from another computer. You checked the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store homepage to see if it shows there for redownloading on that computer
If it doesn't show there then you can copy it over from the computer that you downloaded it on e.g. via home sharing : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 (that page refers specifally to music, but it works for other content types as well).
Or you can right-clidck (control-click on a Mac) on the film in the iTunes library that it is on and select 'show in explorer' ('show in finder') and copy it to, for example, a flashdrive, and use that to copy it onto the other computer's iTunes library (File > Add To Library)

How do u make new folders in mail when I press edit only move delete or mark comes up nowhere can u make new folder

I can't make new folder in mail on my normal acc or icloud

If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

I need to reinstall my original factory disc and reset my computer to the beginning. It currently has lion. Do I need to erase my HD first to clear and make new room for the install disc.

Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

They will only be where you put them. They do not magically appear in new places.
Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

To make a new folder you need to provide a colon delimited string as an alias with a name property something like:
make new folder at alias "AP0015:Produce:Fruit" with properties {name:"Apples"}
which would make a folder named Apples inside a folder named Fruit inside a folder named Produce on AP0015
Here's a commented script which should work:
tell application "Finder"
--set a time out in case the server is not available
          with timeout of 20 seconds
                    try
mount volume "AP0015" on server "20.20.20.74" as user name "AP0015" with password "abc"
                    on error
                              display dialog "AP0015 is not Online"
                    end try
          end timeout
--the path to the folder where the new folders will be created
--in this case it's the root of the AP0015 server
--the path to the destop would be "AP0015:Users:AP0015:Desktop:"
--don't forget the colon at the end of the string
          set baseFolder to "AP0015:"
--the name of the new container folder
          set bfName to "New Jobs"
--a list of the sub folders to create
          set subfolders to {"Art", "Font", "MSP", "Sample", "Version_01", "Xml"}
--make the container folder if one doesn't already exist
          try
make new folder at alias baseFolder with properties {name:bfName}
          on error
                    display dialog "A Folder at " & baseFolder & " named " & bfName & " Already Exists"
          end try
--loop through the sub folder list and make the subfolders
          repeat with i from 1 to number of items in subfolders
                    set subname to item i of subfolders
make new folder at alias (baseFolder & bfName) with properties {name:subname}
          end repeat
end tell

Can't make new folder in FireFox Bookmarks

When in FireFox I go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Menu -> Organize -> New Folder and make new bookmark folder, it appears. Then, I move some existing bookmarks into it.
Logout FireFox, start it again. This bookmark folder is absent.
What's wrong?

Hi Ang,
Sorry, I couldn't try your script until I got home from work today, and.... it works. (Thanks... I'll mark my question "answered").
Now what puzzles me is why this works when the simpler form did not.
Some extra info: If I used Script Editor to record a script in the Finder to create a new folder, this is what I got before I ran your script:
<pre>
activate
select window of «class desk»
make new «class cfol» at «class cfol» "Desktop" of «class cfol» "brendan"
of «class cfol» "Users" of «class sdsk» with properties {name:"untitled folder"}
</pre>
But now, after running your script, the original script now works!! I'm completely bamboozled.... but well done anyway.

I agree it may not be possible, but again I'm reeading between the lines to presume if the OP wants to create a folder on another system he has a method for logging on to that system.
I run peer-to-peer with my various desktops and laptops here, and I can set them up to allow me to have access anywhere inside my network, but no, you wouldn't be able to get in and create folders from outside my network without my permission (which you ain't going to get, even though we are buddies )

Photo Stream is not a backup.
Photo Stream has a limit so is temporary.
iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from any digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

Tips on avoiding hard coded paths and make a java app platform independent

HI all,
I would like to gather some tips on how to avoid hard coded file paths, which are plenty in the application I work on and which I inherited from previous programmers.
Also, when deploying to the production server, my app goes from a Windows platform to a Linux machine.
I am curious to know what tricks and tools other programmers find useful in similar contexts.
I am sure many of us would benefit from the discussion.
Thank you !

Actually, Java does this for you; you can use unix-style paths and they will still work, even on Windoze. To wit:
public static void main(String[] args) {
        File f = new File("/");
        System.out.println(f.getAbsolutePath());
}Yields: C:\
public static void main(String[] args) {
        File f = new File("/Program Files");
        System.out.println(f.getAbsolutePath());
}Yields: C:\Program Files

How do I take one of my pics and make it my wallpaper?

I'd like to edit one of my pics and use it as a wallpaper. How do I get it the correct size so that it's not stretched and squashed, or tiled?
I appreciate your help. Please type slow... I'm a new convert!
Trinity

Select the photo you want to use as wallpaper.
In the Share menu, choose Desktop.
iPhoto will fill the screen and scale the picture to fill the screen with no squashing, stretching or tiling in weird ways.
