New folders being created... Not by me

How can I stop iTunes from automatically changing the way I organize my folders. For example, I ripped a Johnny Cash greatest hits CD. I edited the songs in the folder and on iTunes to only say Johnny Cash as the artist, instead of Johnny Cash w/ June Carter. But anytime I update my library, it changes it all back and is very annoying and cumbersome to change all my folders back. I checked out the preferences part of iTunes and didnt see anything there to help, maybe I looked over it. Help!
Thanks!

Create a new folder on Desktop, open it, CMD+J, set it up the way you want: list view, click on name column, deselect size, click on always open in list view, etc., then click on Use as Defaults. OPTION-click and hold the Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch. Create a new folder and open it. It should have those settings you just made.

Lightroom 4.3 Duplicate folders being created on import

Hi, is anyone else gaving issues with duplicate folders being created with Lightroom 4.3 on import?
When I import photos, they go to a folder with a name "XXX" for example.
The folder is in a hierarchy of "2013, March, XXX".
Lightroom creates a folder here and above 2013! It is making a mess of my library.
Also, when I import using Photo Mechanic (great software that just works!) and then do a "synchronize folder" in Lightroom, only 1 photo is transferred.
Is there a fix for these bugs?

It looks to me as though you've fallen victim to the "capitalisation" issue....in your Folders Panel your year folders names have the word "LIBRARY" in capitals, yet in the screenshot of the import dialog you are importing to "LR_Library_2013". I guess at some point you changed the capitalisation, and although the OS doesn't distinguish between the two formats, Lightroom unfortunately does.....so although all the images/sub-folders are within the one actual year folder, Lightroom sees them as two different parent folders.
So which one is the correct format as shown in Win Explorer? I'm guessing the lower-case version? If so, the quickest way to fix this is as follows:
1. Backup your catalog.
2. Create a root level folder on the C drive, call it whatever you want, say "Capitals Fix".
3. Right-click on the "LR_LIBRARY_2013" year folder in the Lightroom Folders Panel and select "Update Folder Location". In the file browser that then opens, browse to and select the "Capitals Fix" folder on the C drive.
4. Don't be alarmed as the 2013 folder will disappear from the Folders Panel, "Capitals Fix" will appear but all the sub-folders that were listed under 2013 will now have "?" marks.
5. Now right-click on "Capitals Fix" in the Folders Panel, and again choose "Update Folder Location". This time browse to and select the correct "LR_Library_2013" folder on the A drive. You may get a "Merge" dialog box, select "Merge" and everything should resolve itself.
6. Repeat if needed for the 2011 and 2012 year folders, though as you're likely not importing into there any longer you may not encounter the problem.

Folders being created inside movies ?

Forders keep being created inside movies. The label is (A Document Being Created By Stomputil). The title is the same each time except that a number is added to the end and increments up.
I Have not seen this before Yosomite.
IS this a cause for concern and what's this all about ? I have searched and found enough reference to Stomputil to think its not malware, but no reference to my case.

Duplicate folders being created within folders

I am noticing that since we started using Contribute on our
website that duplicate folders are being created within the folder.
For example - I have a folder called Ministries. Inside Ministries
are three subfolders - Peru, Brazil & Mexico. I'll go in to
upload a page to the Mexico subfolder and find that the entire
Ministries folder has been duplicated inside the Ministries folder.
So instead of looking like this:
Ministries -
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
It looks like this:
Ministries -
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
Ministries
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
Has anyone else encountered this? I haven't been able to find
any coding issues that would account for this. I admit that I
probably just don't know enough to know where to look.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am unable to reproduce this issue when using Contribute.
Could you please check if that system is infected by any
virus?
Please look the following site:

Identical folders being created when I sync a folder

This is strange error so bear with me as i try to explain it. This started when I upgraded to OS X 10.10 on my iMac 2013 with lightroom 5.6
All my pictures are stored on an external thunderbolt drive, a "Lacie" thats the drive name label thus in lightroom this is the Name as it appears in my folder Pane.
I use a third party app to import to copy my images from my camera to the computer. i then use lightroom to simply Sync a folder to import them into lightroom. i've been doing it like this for years, never had an issue.
Until today. note: I reverted to a previous backup catalog but same problem.
When I sync it will create an identical "Lacie" folder and sync files to this new location.
the expected result is if I sync a folder named '2014' that it simply sync files to this location instead it creates a new "Lacie" and puts the images there.
When I go to my original LAcie, it says they are 0 files int but when i show in finder all images are there??
why does lightroom create a new location? why is it identical name? and how do I remove it? i see no way to remove them.
I'm willing to start over again I guess but I'm unable to remove the older "lace" location hence in my Folders pane i have multiple "lace' and i see no way to remove them.
and if i start over again this might happen again so i'd like to know how to prevent this?
The external drive has not been removed, its always powered and connected.
i am unable to sync folders to my original 'lace' folder. when i sync on my original folder its detecting everything like it was never synced. if i say ok to this it puts it all into the new 'lace' folder, when clearly it should be syncing to the original 'lace' folder location.
any ideas whats going on here?

If you are using iPhoto or Aperture for Mac OS X, your photos automatically sort on your device in the same order in which they are sorted in iPhoto or Aperture. Changes made to the sorting of your pictures in your iPhoto or Aperture albums and events are reflected on the device after syncing.
If you are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, and if your device is using the latest software, it sorts photos in ascending order by the Date Modified when viewing all your photos together in the Photo Library (or Photos tab for iPad). When viewing a photo album, the photos are sorted alphanumerically by the photo file names.
iOS 4 and I believe the same for iOS 5 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. Specifically, your device uses the pictures' EXIF tags to determine the Date Taken information. Your device will look for the following EXIF tags within your pictures:
Capture Date
Date Time Digitized
Date Time Original
Last Modified
To change the sort order, you must change the Date Taken of photos on your computer. Third-party photo-management software may be able to do this. Refer to the documentation of your photo-management software for more information. In some cases, photos may not have a date in any of the above four EXIF tags, or photos may not support EXIF data (such as JPEG 2000, TIFF, PNG or GIF files). In this case, your device sorts these photos by the date the files themselves were created (as listed in the Date Created field in OS X Finder or Windows Explorer).

Mystery Folders Being Created by Numbers (and Pages) on Server

Gentleones,
I'm running a Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 installation with multiple 10.9.1 clients. All clients are using iWork v. Latest and were all updated from 10.x and iWork '09. to get here.
When opening and then saving a Numbers (or Pages) document on the server, a folder with the same name as the original appears on the server. The contents look suspiciously like a bundle or package with the guts of the document in the folder.
The original document also gets modified when the document is saved.
Deleting the folder does not seem to affect the original document in any way.
It does this with alarming consistency.
Today, it exhibited a new behavior: a second document appeared with the same name. Though I wasn't able to see it on the server, several of the clients showed this second copy of the document. Others did not.
I have repaired permissions on the server and have ensured that all of the files and folders have "Read & Write" permissions for the root share point for "This folder, child folders, child files, all descendants". That I can tell, it's not a permission problem as each user can delete the mystery folder when it appears.
However, that said, I do have multiple users logging into the server using one username across several clients. That shouldn't cause a problem.
Users do not access the files in question at the same time.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Same problem here. Im running an OS X Mav Server 3.0.2 with shared folders over AFP. But for me it is not consistent at all. Sometimes it creates a "mystery folder" and sometimes not. It only happening with the iWork apps tho.
The other problem you were mentioning with duplicate folders in the client finder, but in server terminal (ssh) theres only 1 file, happened to me, but only 1 time.
I always thought it was related to autosave feature of iWork/os x, or file versions. I have turned of autosave on clients and server but problem still persist.
Could it be related to versions? I dont know for sure how to disable versions in the iWork apps, but it shouldnt be neccecary FFS.

How can I prevent a new tab being created every time I hit the Home Key in Firefox 4?

I recently installed Firefox 4. I have it set to open two tabs, Google and Yahoo, for my homepage. When I open a new site in either of them the tab assumes the name of the new site. At the end of my search I hit the Home Key to return to my two original tabs. My two original tabs appear, but so does an additional tab...a duplicate of one of the original two. Each time I hit the Home Key another tab is created. This is annoying and I would like to know how to prevent it from happening. Thanks.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

HT5760 New group being created everytime someone responds to our existing group message.

I have a group message with 8 people in it. We all have iPhones and the new iOS8 software. Once we got the new software someone renamed the group. Ever since the update, randomly it will happen that when someone responds in the group... instead of the response showing up in the group we already have... it creates a new group with all the same people. This does not happen every time it is random. This is very frustrating, someone please help!

Strange folders being created with 'chmod 740' in filename

My colleague has a Mac Mini Intel 1.6Ghz with 1Gb RAM. He has recently discovered that the top level of his hard drive has had 48 folders created, each with the phrase "chmod 740" at the end of the filename. The names all follow the same style: it starts with the name of a file (for example, "cover"), then it follows it with "; chmod 740".
Within each folder it then reconstructs the file structure of the path to the original file.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency behind any of these files; it seems that all sorts of files are created, from Quark XPress documents, PDFs, postscript files, text files; and not all the files in the folders have been duplicated - only a random selection.
Does anyone have any ideas what's causing this problem?
All help gratefully received.

This is strange. chmod 740 is a unix command to change file ownership of a file/folder to make the owner of it be able to read/write to it and make it executable, and the group read only.
I don't know if this is some kind of attack or if it is just some application gone crazy, or if the owner of the computer has been doing some batch file renaming and changing of permissions.
Move those files to a folder and Run Repair Permissions using Disk Utility.
See if any file permissions repaired by Disk Utility correspond to any of those odd folders. If they do, then their file permissions were changed which would lead to the question what changed them and why.
Afterwards you could delete them.

New Layer Being Created When Timeline Effect Added

I am working on a Flash file in which I am adding a Timeline
Effect (5 frame fade out). Recently, instead of the transition
being applied to the layer, in the frame length specified, Flash
adds another layer with the standard 30 frames and it deletes the
content from the 5 frames where I'm trying to add the fade out. It
doesn't always do this. I had already successfully created a couple
of fade-ins at the beginning of the timeline, but once it starts
adding and deleting this stuff, it never goes back to normal. On
the layer in question, I have a keyframe with a graphic, the
graphic is stationary for 20 frames, then I inserted another
keyframe and tried to apply the Timeline Effect beginning there.
Help!!

Change contentDelivery* of the popup to lazyUncached*. Default is lazy .Refer

PDK portlet. New session being created.

Hi,
I have an existing struts/BC4J based application which runs fine
local as webapplication. After portletizing it with PDK and deploying
it to portal for some strange reason a new http session is created a few
steps into the application resulting in losing the existing session data.
I thought of switching to using portlet provider session but this is just
stored in the http session object.
Anybody experienced this problem as well ?.
Thanks,
Kenneth

Hi Natalie,
I'm more maintaining/finishing an existing application. So I didn't develop it initially.
The version or oracle portal we're using is 9.0.4.1.0. As for portletizing a struts application, oracle pdk has been used. Instructions for portletizing a web app can be found in "Oracle Application Server Portal Handbook". Further you have to replace struts-html:form tags in your JSPs with pdk-struts-html:form tags.
Some tips can be found here.
http://www.it-eye.nl/weblog/2005/07/13/easy-publishing-of-a-struts-application-as-a-portlet-in-oracle-portal/
As for losing session I post to a servlet from struts/jsp page which writes pdf to the output stream Running in local container it works fine. However when running in portal I lose the session before hitting the servlet. I notice at various other times that session is lost for no apparant reason.
HTH

Lost controll of mouse, new folders opening

lost controll of mouse, new folders being created without my imput, different apps opening up without my concent, only way to shut down computer is just to hold power button down as i have no control over mouse to do anything. cant use apple hardware test, wont boot into the hardware test, its as if someone else is controlling my 15` macbook pro, lion, 2011. is this a virus or hardware or software problem. help please!!!! peter

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.
