Moving files from folders

On a pc when you right click files in a folder you have a option to move or copy. On my imac 20 intel duo I only see the option of copy. My reason for wanting to move is I use a card reader to download photos from my camera & when you have the move option it clears the camers sd card. I know I can copy & after that I can sent the photos to the trash but I really miss the move option. Thanking all Jim Johnston

Use Image Capture instead of dragging manually. From Image Capture Help file
Deleting items from your digital camera using Image Capture
Using Image Capture, you can delete items from some digital cameras manually, or you can set Image Capture to delete them automatically as you transfer them to your computer.
Connect your camera and open Image Capture.
To delete items manually, click Download Some and select an item. Then click Delete.
To set Image Capture to delete items from your camera as you transfer them to your computer, click Options and then click Options again. Select "Delete items from your camera after downloading."

  • My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

    my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

    Details please
    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
    i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
    Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
    my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
    where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
    originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
    Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
    also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
    This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
    By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
    I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.

  • 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?

    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!

  • Computer freezes when moving files from USB, or to another partitioned HD

    Hello, i've been moving files from two USB's to my Macintosh HD, and when I do that, the computer kinda freezes up, i can move the cursor, but not kinda click anywhere, and then a minute after or something, it gets normal again, but the transfer is going horribly slow. this happens when i move from Macintosh HD, to Macintosh HD 2 (a partitioned one). the files are 2 gb each USB. which means im transferring 4 gb at the time.

    I have 6 folders on my hard drive. These folders were created by downloading a bunch of rar files, then extracting them each to their own folder. I have not touched the permissions, so they should be the default of me having read/write and everyone else having read (correct me if i'm wrong).
    Using two Finder windows, I drag and drop the six folders from one hard drive to another, and hold down the Apple key so that it moves instead of copies. I let go and it starts copying the files (since there is no "move", but rather a "copy and then delete").
    I would recommend you don't use this method to move a lot of files between drives. it's much safer first to copy and if the copy is successful to delete the original afterward. there was a data loss bug in OS X a while back that wold sometimes lead to total loss on both the source and the target when doing this.
    this bug is supposed to be long fixed but still...
    How is the hard drive you are moving the files to formatted? what yo describe sometimes happens when moving a lot of stuff to or from FAT formatted drives. also, repair both drives in disk utility. repair disk, not permissions.

  • Putting files from folders puts them up in corner,  Lion

    If I open a folder and remove a file to place it somewhere on my desktop, it immediately flies up to the top right corner of my screen, half-way out of view.
    It took me awhile to even discover that's where they went and I kept having to open them with Spotlight.
    Once I delicately pick the file out of the corner with my pointer I can place it wherever I want on the desktop.
    This happens whether I'm using hotcorners or not, no matter what view.
    Anybody else dealing with this? Only since installing Lion...
    Thanks any and everyone!

  • Moving files between folders is very slow

    Hi, I have an iMac 2011. Processor: 2.7GHz Intel Core i5/ Memory 4GB
    OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1
    After I change my OS from Mavericks to Yosemite, moving files between folders is very slow.
    For example, if I move one jpg file in Desktop to Pictures folder (or just any other folders like Trash), it takes about 3 seconds.
    When I was still using Mavericks, it made that Ding sound and transferred files right away. However, now, although it makes the Ding sound right away, the file is still there for 3 seconds.
    I tried to clean up my mac using many apps, but they never fixed this problem.
    I've also tried what I saw on this one thread. OS X File Transfers Very Slow
    Go->Connect to Server then type "cifs://server-address" but it says there is a problem and did nothing. (maybe different issue)
    Please help!

    There may be other issues, but you installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • Issue in moving files from data fodler to processed folder in background

    Hi All,
    I am facing one issue in moving files from data fodler to processed folder in case of background execution.
    When i am executing the file in the foreground, i can move the file from Data folder to processed folder. I am using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE FM to move the file from data folder to processed folder.  I can see the file in processed folder once the program is executed.
    But in case of executing the same program in background, it is giving me the error "Failed to move the file to processed folder" in the spool of SM37 and i can see the file still laying in data folder.
    I tried to check other programs which acesses the same folder as the above program, whether they are able to move. They are able to move the file to processed fodler successfully both in foreground and background mode.
    Please help me in resolving this issue.
    Thanks,
    Deepa

  • Moving files from PowerMac G3 to MacBook Pro

    I have a new MacBook Pro and am moving files from all my old macs onto it. I found an old beige desktop PowerPC hard drive but don't have a monitor for it. Also, I have ancient 3.5 floppies that I need to read and the old beige computer has a slot for that. So, the question is: How do I get my files off the beige G3 and onto the new computer when the beige PowerPC has NO firewire?

    One solution is to find any old crappy monitor and hook it up to the beige G3. Then you can configure it to use Ethernet, and set up a small Ethernet network with your new MacBook Pro. It is a little complicated, but not difficult.
    This article helps explain the concepts:

  • 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!

  • I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive.  Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  Can someone please help?

    I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive.  During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this.  I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with.  Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

    iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
    I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
    Needs clarification.  You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer.  So which are you trying to do?  Either way, sounds like a browser issue.  You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

    If you used migration assistant then it probably created a new Login user and placed the migrated files under it.
