Moving bookmarks to folder merely makes an extra copy.

trying to move bookmark to folder. bookmark is merely copied to the folder and is now shown in 2 places. if i delete/cut the original bookmark i lose them both.

Make a carbon copy of your drive/folder with Terminal!

I always see people throwing carbon copy disk programs around like no tomorrow. I've wondered to myself "why?". The termainl in Mac OSX can do it out of the box and do it for free and, for more advanced users, you can start getting rather fancy with the commands for fine tuning. Type man cp in the terminal for more info.
Say I want to make a carbon copy of my Home folder to my external disk called "Backup USB" so I can restore it later to a new drive.
Firstly, open Terminal.app found in Applications > Utilities. Make sure the External Disk is plugged in first before continuing.
Now I simply type in the following command:
cp -pvR /Users/benanderson "/Volumes/Backup USB/benanderson"
Once typed, press the return key and let the computer do its job.
I'll run through the command so people know what each section does
cp: this is the command for "copy"
-pvR: these are "flags" and tell the computer how to perform the action.
p: this flag stands for "preserve" and keeps all the file attributes intact. A file or folders owner, group, permissions and time stamp will remain the same. Say I have a file in the finder with a "created" and "modified" date of 8th September 2011 (you can see these by single clicking a file an pressing cmd+i) - if I was to copy this with the finder, the created and modified date of the copy would change to 17th December 2011 (today). By specifying the -p flag, the copy will keep the 8th of September creation and modify date. This is very important for system files that MacOSX has to keep track of.
v: verbose, it basically tells you what file is currently copying so you're not copying blind wondering what its doing and when it will finish. Its a progress bar, basically.
R: it will mimic the directory structure of the folder you are copying. without the -R flag, if you ask cp to copy a folder, it will skip the folder because the folder is not a file. With -R, it will copy the folder, the files in the folder and any folders within the folder and so on.
/Users/benanderson: this is my home folder. Your name will vary, obviously.
"/Volumes/Backup USB/benanderson": The destination of the copy on the disk "Backup USB". I need double quotes around the destination because "Backup USB" as a space in it. Without the quotes, the computer would read it as "/Volumes/Backup" and stop there, which is invalid and would cause an error, stopping the copy from working.
To restore from backup, just do it again in reverse order.
cp -pvR "/Volumes/Backup USB/benanderson" /Volumes/benanderson
Hit return and set it on its way!
If you're feeling sassy, make a carbon copy of your Macintosh HD onto another HDD, a carbon copy of your home folder from your desktop computer onto your laptop computer over the network (I do this with my iTunes folder every few months), carbon copy your HDD onto a Disk Image so you can "flash" other HDDs from disk utility. Carbon copy of your time machine or time capsule if moving to a larger disk. The cp command is increadibly useful, free, easy and powerful - its most likely what the Carbon Copy programs are doing under the hood, so why not cut out the middle man?
Just a nice tip for everyone interested!

Carbon Copy Cloner is free; its tasks are editable and restrictable; it works via a simple user interface; and it works without error. There is next to no learning curve involved, no need to learn Terminal's syntax, and none of the dangers that an error in syntax can cause when using Terminal.
Did I mention CCC is free?

I moved my iphoto folder to a new location by mistake. I've moved it back to its original location, but iphoto no longer sees the photos. What step(s) am I missing to return to the setup I had.

i moved the folder containing all of my photos to a new location on my hard drive by mistake. I've moved it back to its original location, but iphoto no longer sees the photos. What step(s) am I missing to allow iphoto to see the photos as it did before. Also,
I am trying to back up all of my photos to a thumb drive. Is there a way to do this thru iphoto?

Witholut knowing what you did, it's hard to know what you missed doing, no?
Try Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Backing up just the Photos? File ->Export
Backing up the Library?
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

I've moved my music folder and now iTunes can't "find" my music

I recently moved my iTunes folder of music (46 gigs) from an external drive back to my iMac's internal drive. The music files are all on my iMac now (in the music folder), and I've changed the preferences in order to map iTunes to the new location. But when I attempt to play most of the songs, iTunes will give me a message saying the song could not be found, and I have to manually locate each song in order for iTunes to play it.
There seems to be no commonality to the problem either. For the "compilation" albums, I can kinda understand why I would have to do this. But I'm having to do it for single songs, full and partial albums, and even iTunes-purchased songs.
1) Why is this happening?
2) Is there a way to batch-process this requirement to map ALL the songs for iTunes so I don't have to do it for every other song file in my 46-gig folder?
3) Once I finally do "find" all the files for iTunes, will I face the same problem when I move my music back to another external drive in the future?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I see. For your future benefit, here is the "canned" response I usually post for people trying to move their library to an external drive...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
If you are just testing to make sure a backup copy works and still want to use the internal location, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location. Otherwise you are all set to use the library from the external location.

I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac

I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac as well as thge MacBook Air I was working on. HELP!!!

Hi,
There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
Now to your questing:
So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

How to set a bookmarks default folder?

How can I set a default folder for bookmarks that I don't have to choose every time between "Bookmarks folder", "Bookmarks toolbar folder" and "Unsorted bookmarks" when clicking the star on the address bar?

During import, Designer attempts to match fonts in the PDF file with fonts that are available on your computer. If the file contains an unavailable font, Designer displays a dialog box showing the missing font and a suggested replacement. You can accept the replacement font or change it.
This font substitution is not permanent. Designer must map the unavailable fonts every time the form opens. You can make the font substitution permanent by selecting File > Save As and then selecting Permanently Replace Unavailable Fonts before saving the file. This method is recommended for permanently substituting fonts.
You can also set up a font-substitution table in the file ConvertPDF_FontMap.txt in the Designer installation directory. If you add a font-substitution rule to this file, all occurrences of the substituted font are changed to the new font when you import a PDF, regardless of the font-mapping table and regardless of whether the substituted font is available on your computer.
ConvertPDF_FontMap.txt is empty by default. Each entry you add should have the following syntax:
input_font=Designer_font
where input_font is the name of the font used in the input PDF file, and Designer_font is the name of the font that is installed on your computer. Asterisks (*) represent wildcard characters. For example, the string *Cour* refers to all font names that contain the string Cour. Question marks (?) represent single-character wildcards. Adding wildcard characters before and after the input_font name accounts for any slight variations in the name of the font in the form. For example
*Arial*=Arial
*Helv*=Arial
*Cour*=Courier New
*=Times New Roman
Processing occurs in descending order. The last line in the example converts all remaining fonts to Times New Roman.

I can't get iTunes to Start after moving my Music Folder anyone know what to do ? yes I have tried reinstalling iTunes..

I Moved the iTunes folder in My Music to my D:\ Drive to get some extra room on my computer, then when I tried to open iTunes it wouldnt open so I moved the folder back and nothing happened again after I tried to open iTunes... so I deleted all the iTunes files on the D:\ Drive and then reinstalled iTunes... Still the same problem.. can anyone help ?

Moving the /My Music/ folder will not prevent iTunes from opening. That only contains the iTunes library, not the application files. Moving that folder would only get you an empty library when you open iTunes.
I suggest you reinstall iTunes.

Moving IMAP gmail folder error message

This is not a question, but just posting to help someone else who might be having the same problem. When moving Gmail folders from "On My mac" to the IMAP folder for Gmail, I received the error message:
The IMAP command “CREATE” failed with server error: Folder contains excess whitespace (Failure).
Turns out that one of the sub-folders I was trying to move had a folder name with a space at the end of it. As soon as I deleted the extra space at the end of the folder name, Gmail would allow me to move the folders.
Also, I was moving a batch of multiple folders and all of the ones prior to this one moved successfully. The one with the extra space, plus all of the folders after this one, failed to move until I solved the problem.

I moved my applications folder to the desktop, but modified the applications in my dock, and now i have too many copies of the applications folder and cant get rid of them without being unable to use the applications :(

I moved my applications folder to the desktop when i first got my imac. now i want to get rid of it, but when i put it in the trash, it wont let me use the applications, even though they are in more than one folder. I am at a loss of what to do now cause i have two copies of everything. please help me figure this out.

Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.

You are using an older version of firefox, upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and try
* getfirefox.com

I have just upgraded from 2.0.20 to 3.6.8. The contents of my bookmarks toolbar folder have disappeared. How do I get them back?

1) The upgrade has not created a new profile. I still have only one.
2) I appear to have kept my cookies OK.
3) I have somehow managed to retrieve the old bookmarks list, though I can't remember how I managed this and can no longer find the instructions. What I have lost is the contents of the bookmarks toolbar, which is most important to me. My bookmarks.html file is still present and intact.
4)I have decided, at least for now to revert to Firefox 2. I had the sense to keep a copy of the setup file!

It is possible that the imported Bookmarks Toolbar bookmark folder shows as a folder in the Bookmarks Menu folder. 
If that is the case then you can move (Cut & Paste) those bookmarks to the regular Bookmarks Toolbar folder.

Since I moved ITunes media folder to an external bkp unit upload of my home shared videos on Apple TV is very slow. Is there anything I can do?

Since I moved ITunes media folder to an external bkp unit, Apple Tv uploads my shared videos very slowly. Is there anything I can do?

USB 3 should be more than enough for what you want.
I don't know anything about Pinnacle but iMovie (assuming you are going default) does produce movies with a datarate of around 10 Mbps, which is quite high in comparison to iTunes movies from the iTunes Store. I don't know if you might want to try custom exports.
Although saying that I have plenty of movies at around 10 Mbps on my eSATA external which doesn't have any problems.

That's not how to do it. You don't move stuff then set the iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Once you move the /iTunes/ folder, hold Option, launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the ITunes folder on the external.
This will use the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder you moved.
Don't change iTunes prefs > Advanced.

HT1364 If I already moved Itunes media folder to external drive and now music is not matching up in iTunes?

Dear Itunes Community~
This is my first time using glad you are here, but all the passwords!!
Question/Quandry:
If I already moved Itunes media folder to my external drive and now my music is not matching up in iTunes, what should I do? I have tried my solution !?, and now I have 17,000 songs, instead of 9,000!
Should I just uninstall Itunes, and then reinstall Itunes, and let it do it's thing, and then figure out how to move to the external hard drive later?
Help, I screwed it up all on my own!
Any/all help and Itunes educated suggestions appreciated!
Thank you very much,
Doris =:o
PS ~~ Is there anyway to easily delete duplicates?? Seems not?

I have a very similar problem. Hope I don't confuse people trying to help us since the solutions may be different.
I had my iTunes path directed to a 2nd internal hard drive. Everything was working fine - except I found that purchased Apps were still being downloaded to the Mobile Applications folder on my main hard drive instead of the 2nd internal drive. I decided to retry directing the iTunes path to my 2nd internal drive, hoping that might get iTunes to save my Apps there. Big Mistake. Suddenly, there were no Apps showing in my iTunes Library Apps window at all. I verified the downloaded apps are still in my main hard drive's Mobile Applications folder, but I cannot get iTunes to display them in my Apps Library window anymore.
I decided to try downloading a new app and, sure enough, iTunes once again downloaded it into the very same Mobile Applications folder on my main hard drive, where all my (now orphaned) original apps are, but the only one iTunes will only display in my Apps window is the new one. I read you can redownload purchased apps, but my apps are not missing. iTunes just won't display them in the Apps window anymore.
