Moving alphabet month folders into new year folders, error cause not known

I have my folders listed aphabetically eg JAN 14 in my catalog and am now trying to add new year folders and drag the relevent folders into the year folder, I keep getting an unknown error has occurred and the folder cannot be moved . This is on my laptop using an external hd but my catalog is on the 'c' drive. I have already completed this on my main desktop machine whith an external hd, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a look.
I'll clarify my statement above regarding my iMovie Events folders: I tried to open them with iMovie, won't do it. I've not used iMovie much at all to be honest. I can't think of where these files called "iMovie events came from to be honest. Maybe somewhere in the distant past I tried to use iMovie to organize video content, but I can't recall one way or the other.
I reconnize the video content, mind you, but how it got labeled "iMovie" I'm not sure. That is everything I recognize from when I was using FCE. Never been a big fan of iMovie: slow, clunky, limited. Good for when I first started.
Here's my delimma: can't open it in iMovie or FCPX. I can import it in either, but as described above, it started make either duplications (in iMovie) or quadruple in FCPX. Not sure why the import feature is causing such an effect on the video.
I am puzzled as to why it would be labeled iMovie events and not open in iMovie.
Now to set out really learning media management in FCP X
Any other advice or ideas on how to import a single file as a single file (not duplicates/quads) or to get iMovie to recognize and open the files within iMovie so I CAN share it over to FCP X?
Thanks

Do you have a new Apple ID to use in NZ? If not open iTunes Store. Log out of your old Apple ID, then try to login. Select Create Apple ID from the dialog that appears. Make a new Apple ID for NZ with a NZ email address. Once that is approved and verified, log into the iTunes Store with the new Apple ID. This should fix all other issues.

Moving music off ipod into new itunes library

My laptop was destroyed in a house fire along with my back up itunes disks, though i had my 80GB ipod clasic with me (as usual). I now have a new laptop but i don't know how to move music off my ipod into my new itunes library, or even if it is possible. please help, i want to put new music onto my ipod without losing what is already there. Thanks Heaps

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Create New gives an error "Could not find the user document directory"

Fresh installed Adobe Edge Animate CC (2014). When I try to Create New, I get an Error popup "Could not find the user document directory"

I think this worked!
I just downloaded an example file and tried opening from outside of the program. At first it gave me some errors but then loaded it up.
After that I've re-saved it and now I can create new files and open files.
Before that I also uninstalled old CC programs that were not showing in the Adobe Creative Cloud apps.

Apple Mail 6.0 In Box now includes messages moved to other folders

All Mail converstions with the same subject appear with a new message in my In Box eventhough many of those emails with the same subject have been moved to another Mail Box. For example, I use Salesforce. Thoughout the day I will receive emails with the subject "A lead has been assigned to you". After I have delt with these leads I click on the trash can and delete these messages. Now after installing Mountain Lion with Apple Mail 6.0, in the Preview screen I see the emails that are in my In Box plus all other email with the same subject. In this case there are sever hundred.
How do I get my In Box preview to just show the current messages and not messages in other folders with the same subject line?

You are correct that this changed with Mountain Lion. I have one Mac still running Lion and when I checked it the "Include Related Messages" box is not checked. So I assume that the upgrade to Mountain Lion checked this box during th upgrade process.
I have experimented by unchecking and checking this this option to Include Related Messages. One feature I like is if I have replied to a message the sent reply appears shaded above the message I have replied to in my In Box or any folder/mail box where I move the message.
Bottom line, now that I am getting use to the change, I like it and will leave the Include Related Messages box checked. The only drawback I see is that unrelated messages that have been moved to other folders and are not really part of the thread appear in the threaded message.

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.

Rename files and move them into new folders with part of original file name

I have tried using automator and other programs such as name Name Mangler with no luck.
I am trying to have an AppleScript run when files are added to a folder, using a service through Automator.
File names come in 9 different suffixes, all with the same prefix.
Example:
nonspecificprefixSUFFIX
nonspecificprefixOTHERSUFFIX
nonspecificprefixALSOSUFFIX
I am trying to get the program to create a folder named after the prefix, then to remove the prefix from the files after moving them into this folder.
There are 9 different suffixes that should remained unchanged.
End goal would be to have child folders named nonspecificprefix, nonspecificprefix2 etc each with 9 files only containing the suffix portion of original name.
If anyone has any tips to get me on the right path that would be much appreciated! I have thousands of files to rename and move so this would save me loads of time!

Erwin,
I was not able to systematically examine this issue, because it occurred on a production system and, of course, I uninstalled the Adobe iFilters as soon as I read that they may delete pdf files. Before the uninstallation I noticed the AR9 folders appearing on c:\ and moved them from time to time to another folder. Using the search function inside this folder, I found that all files were present in duplicate at least. I concluded, that after moving the AR9 folders they were recreated containing the same files. Consequently, these files cannot have been deleted. Searching for the origin of these files I found that they were part of pdf portfolios, therefore my conclusion that they are part of the indexing mechanism of the portfolios. What I have not done (and what I am not going to do since it is a production system) is to fill a folder with pdfs and track what is happening to the files.
In case of my server, I think that the iFilters did not delete any files. Of course I cannot say what happens on other systems. I am definitely not going to reinstall the iFilters before knowing what they a really doing to the files.
Not sure if this is of much help

Help with Powershell - moving files to folders based on date

I have spent about a week on this task, and I know I am nowhere near an expert on Powershell, I am running into a wall.
Here is what I want to accomplish - I have a folder with 1000's of files going back three years. I want to write a PS script that will move all the files older than three months into archive folders based on the file creation date. I need two levels, Year
and inside the year, month.
Here is what I have so far
$location = "C:\scripts\Test1"
cd $location
dir | ?{$_.psiscontainer -eq $false}| %{$a="$($_.creationtime.year.ToString())";mkdir -ea 0 $a;mv $_ $a}
$locationYear = "C:\Scripts\Test1\$a"
cd $locationYear
dir | ?{$_.psiscontainer -eq $false}| %{$b="$($_.creationtime.month.ToString())";mkdir -ea 0 $b;mv $_ $b}
I know its basic, but it is working so far, except the folder month is in numeral format, 3 not 03. This is a requirement from our development team.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

JVR- thank you as well, I keep getting strange results. It looks like it makes the folders for 2014 but then starts erroring - it should be looking in the scripts/pdf folder, not the scripts folder.

Replicating a yearly mailbox structure into a new year

I have a mailbox structure that is based on a calendar year and within the year is a structure of folders (and nested folders) categorizing my messages. In other words under the category "ON MY MAC" I have a "2007 Mail" folder (which numerous nested folders) and a "2008 Mail" folder (again with nested folders). In past years I have manually replicated the structure into the New Year which is extremely time consuming.
In order to create the structure for the next year quickly, would it be possible to create a new folder in .../Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ called say, "2009 Mail" and then copy the contents from "2008 Mail" into it, then import the "2009 Mail" folder after which I could manually remove all the 2008 messages.
Sound crazy? Maybe!! .....but will it work?

Hi,
Is there any error message when
it fails to be moved? Any error event log in the Application log?
Thanks,

Moving files and folders in the Library module

I teach a lot of LR users and one area that's consistantly frustrating and unintuitive (even to some experienced users) are the rules for moving files and folders around in the Library module. I'm not sure I have all the right answers/suggestions/remedies but here are the basic points worth examining:
1) Additional hard drives aren't listed unless images from it have been imported into Lightroom. It would be nice if people could add a new hard drive without importing files from it. People don't get it that you can select "Add Folder" from the Folders pop up menu. Classic example: Say someone has purchased a new hard drive for archiving purposes. It's empty and they want to drag folders of images onto it from within LR. Possible Solution: include a "Add Drive..." option from the Folder's panel + pop-up menu that would behave the same and add a root level folder.
2) One can't drag more than one folder at a time. While I assume this is designed to prevent accidental mass movement it would be nice if one could enable the movement of multiple folders.
3) One can't drag a folder onto the main drive bar that lists the drive's name and capacities - one has to drag onto a folder within a drive. I'd love to be able to drag a folder onto the root level of a drive by dropping onto the drive bar (this would be similar to the MacOS finder).
4) Sometimes the root level of a drive isn't apparent. One may need to right click on a folder and select "Show Parent Folder" to show the root level folder which is named after the volume. Showing a root "folder" that has the same name as the drive is also confusing to people since there isn't actually a folder on the hard drive with that name. I completely understand why folders are hidden by default and I'm not sure the remedy is but, again, this isn't intuitive for new users. If #3 worked as described perhaps we could have root level access without the root folder?
Scott Martin

Perhaps I should add that I really like and appreciate a lot of the decisions that have already been implemented into the Library's Folder's tab. Moving files instead of copying them, showing only folders that contain imported images, the ability to show or hide parent folders.... Bravo!

Moved into new house

This is the tale of my house moving saga!
Moved into house on the 16th July, previous house owners cancelled there BT line on the same day.
On the Monday I engaged a company called TitanADSL as they were my previous broadband supplier that had stated to me that they could arrange for a new number and give me an all in one package, of which up until then I had no complaints with there service.
I was given a go live date of Tuesday 27th July, On the Tuesday I received a phone call telling me that there was no spare capacity at the cabinet! and that a new line would have to be delivered to the cabinet.
Was told this would be done by end of play Wed, Thursday evening another phone call, now this one said that a BT line engineer has ordered a new line but there is not ETA and this could take weeks to resolve.
Has anyone else heard of this? or am I being fed a load of ....... (you can fill in the blanks )

This is quite common.
With the network being set up many years ago there are areas where there is a shortage of line plant.
Broadband has made this problem worse as you need an individual line for it to be provided and you can't share the line as with standard PSTN.
It can take weeks or dare I say months for additional line plant to be provided. It's all to do with the network in your area and the pressure on available lines.
If somebody near to you ceased a line then you could be given that line when it becomes available.

LR5 stopped moving files between folders

Hi everybody,
I've noticed today that my LR5 stopped moving files between folders, I select files I want to move and drag them over to a new location like I always did before with only difference is now nothing happends, no messages with errors, nothing... I tried to google it and couldn't find anything related to my problem.
I'm using Windows 8 x64. I checked the permissions on all the photo folders and everything seems to be correct. I also run LR under admin rights, so there shouldn't be any OS related issues... in addition, it was working just fine till today.
I hope you can at least point me in right direction to dig more info on the problem with my LR5.
Thx!

New iPhoto v.11 will not import photo folders from iPhoto 4 (G5 running Tiger))...

How can I bring my old photos from iPhoto v.4 into new iPhoto v.11, which is already populated with pictures that were brought into my new iMac running Lion and iPhoto v.11 ...
I used Migration Assistant to successfully bring that batch over from iPhoto v.8 on a laptop running OSX 10.5.8.
I want to add the older photos to my new iMac so all my pics are in one place.
I already tried to copy all the folders in iPhotoLibrary to my new desktop. iPhoto 11 doesn't import or recognize them if they are copied to new iphoto folder.

Copy the old Library to the New mac.
Open it with iPhoto 11 - this will upgrade it to an 11 Library.
Use iPhoto Library Manager ($20) to merge the Libraries.
It's the only way to merge libraries.
