Moving a bookmarks to a different folder -- block 'spring-open' behavior?
When I'm doing a cleanup of my bookmarks window, I often want to quickly move numerous recently captured bookmarks collected in a " • New bookmarks" folder at the top of the window to one or another of the many topical folders further down in the window.
Each time I drag a recently captured link down to one of these folders, no matter how quickly I try to drop it on the folder, the folder almost always seems to snap open -- which in turn can push all the other lower folders down and off the bottom of the window.
Any way to drag a link (or folder) onto another folder and have it be moved to that folder **without the target folder opening**?
[This problem didn't occur in Netscape because there was a substantial delay before the target folder would open (although it would eventually open if you wanted it to)]
Thanks . . .
Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Target folder will always open. That's the way it was designed. To completely avoid it, save the link via the Bookmarks menu.
Otherwise, the "trick" to avoid the rapid spring-action occurring with folders other than the target is to drag the URL over the left side (collections) of the Bookmarks Manager until you arrive at the target folder. If a folder inadvertently opens, then move the URL a bit more to the left until the folder closes.

Having got a list of bookmarks as the result of a Search in "Organise Bookmarks", I want to move one of the resulting bookmarks to a different folder.
If I move the bookmark into a folder on the left hand pane - it copies it.
If I hold the shift key down and move it - it copies it.
If I hold the control key down and move it - it copies it.
If I hold both the control and shift key down, the icon does change from a "+" sign to an arrow, but - you guessed it - it still copies it.
All I want to do is a simple move!
I'm probably doing something daft. Please let me know what it is!
I'm using Firefox 17.0.1 if that's of any relevance.Hello mara1618, go from Firefox button > Bookmarks, touch the folder and when expand all folder bookmarks, drag the bookmark you want to another folder.

How do I drag files in Finder to a different folder?
How do I drag files in Finder to a different folder?
First, open one Finder window, and then, open another one pressing Command and N keys.
On one window, go to the folder where the files are, and on the other one, go to the folder where you want to put your files. Choose them with the Command key (or select all if you want to transfer all of them, with Command and A keys) and drag them to the other Finder window -
In Safari 8, I have problems moving my bookmark folders without it going into another folder. I cannot organize them in any manner?
Keeping the folder you are moving to the far left will do the trick.

Tryed moving music to a different folder in my external, but they disappeared...?
So I've been trying to organize my music lately, and have it all on my Seagate external hard drive. I was trying to move a large chunk of folders with music in them to a different folder, and when I dragged it over, it tried to start moving them when a message along the lines of "Cannot move files to this folder because "" already exsists." (It specifically said "") I clicked OK, assuming that it would all have stayed in the same folder it was originally in, but when I went to go look for it, most of my music was gone. Now the only folders showing up in my externals music folder are A and B artists.
Now, the part that REALLY throws me off, is that when I open iTunes, I can play all my music that I could originally, and it looks like the space is still being taken up on my external. I assumed I could find my music by clicking "show in finder" but it wont show where the music is. All I see is this in the finder:
And nothing will show up.
Now, I was bummed when I couldn't find my music, as I was assuming it simply got erased somehow. The fact that it is still there is just plain confusing to me.
Thankfully, I have most of my music backed up on a friends hard drive, so I haven't completely lost everything, BUT I'm still incredibly curious as to where this stuff went. I also don't want to add a ton of double files onto my hard drive and take up lots of extra room.
Sorry for the long winded question, I just figured the more information, the better.Get info on the drive. What format? FAT drives may be behave erratically for heavy-duty use of the kind you are doing. It's okay to leave a flash drive FAT formatted for light use but for heavy-duty file transfer I think you can encounter issues.
iTunes does not look at files directly. It maintains a database (library.itl) of the files in its collection. When you play a track it looks up where that file is located and goes and plays the file in that location. If you manually move a file or folder used by iTunes that database is no longer correct and you get broken links ( ! ). If you want to move files or folders with iTunes you have to let iTunes do it. Since iTunes is organizing your library there isn't much flexibility in what you can do other than move the whole collection to a different folder by changing the media location preference in preferences.

I recently moved all my logic audio sessions to a back up hard disk. Also updated to Loin OSX. My Stylus RMX is not working. I get a message Missing Element on Part 1...Currently not installed on their computer or has been moved to a different folder. Any help out there?
Hi
Sounds like you may have moved the RMX library folder?
Is RMX fully updated (for Lion)?
Check your hard drives for a file called SAGE:
It (or an alias of it) is normally found in the <USER>:Library:Application Support:Spectrasonics.
Note that on Lion, the <User> Library is 'hidden'... quickest way to get there is to hold down Option (Alt) whilst using the Finder:Go menu

You will need to uninstall, run the Cleaner tool and reinstall you adobe applications. Adobe apps don't take kindly to inplace updates of the OS on Macs.

Problems with certain mail attachments after moving them to a different folder in Mail
I am using Mac Mail as my default email client, and every once in a while when I move a message with an attachment from one folder to another (for example from my Inbox to my Personal folder) in Mail, the attachment will no longer show up, but rather an infinite set of characters.
I know it's a problem with my local Mac Mail client, since:
I can see the attachments perfectly in my webmail
I can see the attachments perfectly in my other Mac's Mail client, as well as on my iPhone and iPad.
This is a sample of what it looks like:

Can any one tell me how can I move to a different folder pictures, that I've cloned, without them staying aggregated? They all come together to the other folder and I don't want that… thanks
There's more to it than that.
Folders in Aperture do not hold Images. They hold Projects and Albums. You cannot put an Image in a Folder without putting it in a Project or an Album inside that Folder.
The relationship between Projects and Images is special: every Image must in a Project, and can be in only one Project.
Images can be in as many Albums you want. Putting an Image in an Album does not move it from the Project that holds it.
You can make as many Versions from a Master as you want.
What you want to do may appear simple to you, but it still much adhere to how Aperture works. I still can't tell exactly what you are trying to do (specifically: Images don't live in Folders; moving an Image from a Folder is non-sensical).
It can be very confusing (and frustrating) to get going with Aperture -- but it does work, and can be enormously helpful. If you haven't, take a look at the video tutorials on Apple's Aperture support site.
I feel as though I haven't helped you much -- but we need to be using the same names for interface items in order to get anything done -- and my sense is that you still haven't learned the names of the parts. -
How can I save a 2009 project in 8.5 without making it a copy in a different folder
I have a project where some files have accidentally been saved in 2009. I want to save them back to 8.5. The save for previous version option makes me create a different folder and then gets the heirarchy incorrect. How can I resave all VI's in there current location without having to save under a different folder?

You don't- you let LabVIEW save them then move them then resolve the conflicts the next time you open them since the vi's will load dependancies from a different location and you'll get a bunch of warnings and conflicts.
This type of mistake can cause a lot of heartache- its painful but, like putting your hand on the grill, you soon learn not to do that again!

Hey everyone. I've made a menu that will load the file that has my swf array in it. It was working fine when I kept the menu file and the swf array file in the same folder. However, it was starting to look crowded, so I moved the menu file into a different folder. Now when I link the menu file to the swf array file, it doesn't work. I keep getty error messages on my output tab. This is what I have:
loadMovieNum("EZSmartStand/StandMain.swf", 50);
I have that on a button that when clicked, it should take the user to the StandMain.swf file, which is my swf array file. It loads the file, but then my array file won't load the first movie. I get this message:
Error opening URL 'file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/trevor/Desktop/EZWay%20Instructional%20Videos%202011%20copy /SmartStand.swf'
SmartStand.swf is the first array that is supposed to play. It's almost like the swf is just 'quitting' because there's too much to load. It first has to go through the folder called EZSmartStand, then it loads the StandMain.swf, and in that StandMain.swf, it's then supposed to load the first swf in the array, which is SmartStand.swf.
Does anyone know what to do? I'd really appreciate help, and I'll give helpful and correct answers.the paths to your swfs are all relative to the _level0 swf embedding html file.

How do I create a bookmark in two different pdfs?
How do I create a bookmark in two different pdfs
Provided you only want to go one way, you can change a bookmark to fire the "open a file" action. I 'm not sure you entirely understand the terminology though - bookmarks in a PDF file appear on the left side panel and usually take you to a defined page in the current document. They are not part of the page and so don't change as you move through the file. Links are regions on a particular page that act as click points, and can do pretty much anything (move to a different page, open a file, etc.). Although you can use bookmarks to do something other than switch pages, it's very rare to do so and won't necessarily be supported by third-party software (or obvious to your users).
If you want to create a bookmark to another document, and both files are going to be distributed together (in the same folder) then you can create a new bookmark (doesn't matter where in the source file you are..) then select it and from the options menu choose Properties. Switch to the Actions tab and delete the "go to a page" entry, then from the dropdown list choose "Open a file" and browse to your destination document.
If your destination file is an attachment to your source file, you should use the "Go to page view" action, and when the tiny dialog box appears you should open the attachment, then click the OK button. -
I can't find my bookmarks in my profile folder, what should they be named?
I have my user Library folder unhidden, and use the "show in finder" button under troubleshooting info. IT brings me to my profile folder but all I can find is the bookmark backup folder (.json) and not my actual bookmark file that I can use to transfer my bookmarks to a different browser. Anyone have any advice?
If you need an HTML backup for the different browser then use this;

You need to make a copy of the bookmark to have it appears more than once.
If you click the star then you modify (edit) the existing copy of the bookmark.
You can also drag the tab or globe/padlock to a bookmarks folder or the Bookmarks Toolbar to create a copy.
