Moving things from folder to folder
Lets say i want to move something from one folder to another folder. Why can't i use the 'Cut' and 'paste' functions. Why can i only copy it and paste it? I don't want the hassle of opening a second folder in a new window to drag and drop it, in order to move items?
Is there any way to move files via cut and paste, using the 'apple X' and 'apple V' keys?

Don't understand what you mean. Yes, sidebar items are a kind of alias, but any alias, including the sidebar ones, work like the original folder. That is, you drag an item to the alias or to a sidebar folder and the item is moved to the original. You open the alias and the original opens. Indeed, I keep aliases to my drives and home folder on my Desktop, rather than the originals. I've never had a problem moving things to them. I keep three folders in the sidebar and drag things to them all the time, and frequently add a folder I'm moving things to and when I finish I remove it. Everything moves just fine. If your machine is not working this way then you have something terribly wrong.

Moving Email From Folder To Folder Causes Body Of Message To Disappear
OS X 10.5.8 - Mail Version 3.6 (936)
Not a consistent problem but insanely frustrating.
Example-
I move an email from the InBox to a Folder I have created under On My Mac (or within On My Mac), and it moves just fine. But (again seemingly randomly), if I Shift/Click two or more contiguous emails or Command/Click non-contiguous emails I randomly lose ALL the body of the email.
The From, Subject, Date and the Paper Clip icon display but nothing in the email. Double click to open the email in a separate window and unlike normal messages none of the normal format displays, (From, Date, CC, Attachments), double click just the Paper Clip and again nothing at all displays.
There is no Raw Source, Long Headers or Original Content.
Forwarding generates Long Headers and Raw Source but only from MY Forward not the original data.
Am I completely screwed as to the contents or are they recoverable? If yes then how?
Thank you,
RichardIt just stopped happening but I saved the posted solutions in case it crops up again.
Thanks,

Moving pics from folder to iPhoto?
Since my drag and drop is not working can I move pics from a folder to iPhoto without it? I have managed to navigate to iPhoto for uploading pics on eBay or Craigslist, but I have to have them in iPhoto first as I can't seem to navigate to folders I have on the desktop. I usually just drag pics from folders to the desktop for uploading as that seems to be the easiest method without massive navigation skills. lol Or must I just take pics again? I deleted them from my camera for more room after importing them to folders.
I'm happy that worked for you!
And Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding in Discussions, as this is not a requirement, nor mandatory, but is much appreciated!

How do I move a program from the desktop into a folder?
If I try to drag it all I get is a shortcut.
JRWHello JRW,
Holding down the Command or Apple key while Drag-&-Drop'ing should allow you to Move files. Holding down the Option key while doing the same is going to copy them to the new location for you.
I hope this answers your question. -
Problems moving files from old start-up following upgrade prep :(
So I thought I would do a clean Leopard install ahead of moving up to 10.6...
Bought a new 1TB SATA drive, 10.5 installed and updated, all apps installed, no problems. I did create a new user account rather than migrating - sounds silly but I wanted a completely clean slate as I've been upgrading this system and carrying the user account forward forever...
Now I am trying to copy my DTP files across from the previous boot drive and I don't seem to have permissions over them, even though 'Get info' says I do.
E.g. moving them from folder to folder does a copy rather than a move, and more often than not needs a password.
Any got suggestions for the best practice approach to move files between SATAs, when the two drives have different accounts, etc? I am wary of the ACLs, changing permissions and screwing things up...
Thanks v muchIf you can you connect both external drives to the computer at the same time, it would be easier to use the "Consolidate Library" utility in iTunes to move (actually copy) your media to the new drive.
1- Open iTunes preferences and select the Advanced tab. Change the location of your iTunes music folder to a location on your new drive. Also select the options "Keep iTunes music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library". Close the preferences dialog.
2- On the iTunes menu, select Advanced/Consolidate Library. This will gather all your media and copy it to the new location (the folder you designated in step 1).
3- After the consolidation is complete, verify that your music still plays, and check "Get Info" on some items to verify that iTunes is looking at the new location.
4- Optional. Delete the original files on your external drive. Do this only if you are certain that everything copied over to the new drive.
5- Optional. Close iTunes and locate your "iTunes Library.itl" file. This is typically in your iTunes folder, which may be on your computer's drive and not the external drive. Move this file to somewhere on your new external drive. Next, hold the Shift key as you launch iTunes and you'll be prompted to "Create Library" or "Choose Library". Select "Choose Library" and navigate to where you put the "iTunes Library.itl" file. This is a one-time step that tells iTunes where to boot the library from. -

Don't know if that would be a failing hard drive, but it may be that you are out of available space. How much hard drive space do you have available? Please highlight the Macintosh HD icon and then press Command and I for a get info window. Once open, please copy and post the following:

I'm trying to move things from the downloads folder into a folder that is over there on the left in the sidebar. Every time I try to move something, I get this message and then I have to give my password. I didn't have to do that previously and I sure don't want to do it now, either. I've checked and checked and cannot find where I would go to change this setting. Does anyone know where I should look?
The Apple Store erased my HD on Friday and I had to restore from Time Machine. my OS is Mavericks and I'm on a MacBook Pro.That has been like that since Firefox 3.0 was released in June 2008 - 7 major version releases thus far with it like that and the developers haven't changed it - so I wouldn't count on it.
When I want to save a duplicate bookmark, I just "grab" the website image in the Location Bar and drag it into the Bookmarks Sidebar, into the folder where I want it placed. On Windows and Linux, { Ctrl + B } opens the sidebar and then just drag. -
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,
DeepaHi Sanu,
Please use teh following code to move the file from source to target folder.
This is a code showing how to create and use COPY command of UNIX in ABAP
PARAMETERS:
Input file path
p_input TYPE localfile,
Processed file path
p_proc TYPE localfile.
Declare the Types to file data
TYPES: BEGIN OF L_X_OUTPUT,
sys(200), " Please note, there are asterisk before and after sys (i.e.sys)
END OF L_X_OUTPUT.
* Internal table to store file data
DATA l_i_output TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF l_x_output WITH HEADER LINE.
* Variable for the UNIX command
DATA: l_v_unix_comm(255) TYPE c.
Copy command of UNIX
CONCATENATE 'mv' p_input p_proc
INTO l_v_unix_comm SEPARATED BY space.
For example the Copy command is stored as below
cp u2018/data/interfaces/input/input_fileu2019 u2018/data/interfaces/processed/processed_fileu2019
Examples of UNIX Command *u2022 mv filename1 filename2 --- moves a file (i.e. gives it a different name, or moves it into a *different directory (see below) *u2022 cp filename1 filename2 --- copies a file
Execute the UNIX Copy command.
This command will copy the file from input file path to the processed file path
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD l_v_unix_comm
ID 'TAB'
FIELD l_i_output-sys.
IF sy-subrc eq 0.
write: 'File is copied successfully using UNIX command in ABAP'.

I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location. I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias. When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present". This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers. If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there. Am I forgetting to turn something on or off? Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

Moving Stack from one folder to another?
Is there a way to keep a stack together while moving it from one folder to another. When I grab the stack and drop it to a folder, I view the folder and the images are no longer in a stack. It would save me a lot of time if they would stay stacked. Am I missing something?
Thank you.Well your code is unreadable because you didn't post it properly, but I'd guess you've fallen into the old multiple-delete trap in a new way. It's like this:
To start with you have messages numbered 0, 1, and 2, let's say. So you write a loop that lets i run from 0 to 2 and delete message number i in the loop. What really happens? The first time through the loop you delete message number 0, after which you are left with messages numbered 0 and 1. The second time through the loop you delete message number 1, after which you are left with message 0 only. The third time through the loop you delete message 2, which isn't there and you get that message.
That's just a guess, I didn't have the patience to read that ugly unformatted code. There are two ways to do the multiple delete properly, if that's actually your problem: (1) run the loop upwards from 0 and always delete message 0; (2) run the loop downwards from N-1 to 0 and delete message i. -
How can I stop Firefox asking to install things from its extension folder every time it starts up?
This happens with both versions of Firefox 3.6.28 and 22. (I have removed the latest version because I had so much trouble with it and no, I don't want it back and I am fully aware of the dangers the old versions put me in, thank you!) I have tried to delete the things from the extension folder, but the items it is asking to install aren't in there.
I am using XP with SP3.This can happen if you use the same profile folder with different Firefox versions (i.e. the version listed in compatibility.ini is different).<br />
You should always use separate profiles for each Firefox version.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla/Multiple_Firefox_Profiles
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file. -
hi friends i have mac ibook g4 i know its a really old model but its perfectly fine it has installed mac os x 10.5.8 ok whenever i copy and paste anything it says no free space weather i copy from folder to desktop or from usb to mac plz help plz
There is no download for 10.4.x or 10.5.x, there is a very slim chance you can get 10.5 by calling Apple, but usually you can only get it on eBay & such.
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
* A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor

* At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
* DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
* At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)

HT4191 how can I stop my iphone Notes from being moved into a folder in my yahoo email account?
My iPhone 4 keeps losing my notes? I learned thru this forum they get moved into a folder in my email account. Why is this happening? It is not where I want them. Is there a limit to how many notes you have? I only had about 10 different 1-page notes.
Hello,
I had this same issue but then I figured out how to fix it. You can use the following steps:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Press your Yahoo! e-mail > Notes: Off
I hope this helps!

Jake
