Original folder is missing...

I clicked on an important folder when I received (paraphrasing) "Original folder is missing...." and something about an Alias. I didn't create an Alias for the folder. A window popped up saying to select an application to open the alias; Apple Script was highlighted, so I clicked on it. Now my folder "alias" contains Apple Script files.
I may have accidentally put the original folder in the Trash and emptied it...is there anyway to retrieve it?
I also notice that the dates/times are messed up. For example, I have a file that says "Today, 5:36pm". It's still morning where I live!
Anyone know what's going on?

Sorry for the confusion; I update my profile to reflect all of my macs.
I didn't create an Alias for the folder in question, which is why it is so puzzling. Would there be a record of recently created Aliases ? That might lead to where the original is--or give me some kind of information perhaps.
I am not sure that I trashed it--it's just that I can't find the original. Also, the "last modified" date on the folder was sometime in Spring of 2007, which is not true. This folder had been active up until I lost it.
The folder contains all of the work I did for a client. Fortunately, the project was just completed, however if I get another project from this client, I may need some of the files in that folder.
Is there really no way to retrieve something from the Trash--is there a cache or log that may lead to it?
Please, please help!

How do I export all the photos I imported back to their original folder

How do I export all the photos I imported back to their original folder just as they were, they haven't been modified, adjusted etc. I imported them by mistake.

You don't need to worry. You won't lose photos when the 30 day trial expires.
Lr is different than other photo editing software in that it works with a data base (called the "catalog"). Lr does not write anything into the image pixels but stores everything that you do in Lr into its catalog (=data base). That way, when the trial expires your images will still be there, but - since you cannot access the Lr catalog anymore - your photos will be in the state they were before you imported them into Lr.
When you work with Lr you have to really understand the concept of the "catalog", if you don't you will come into very frustrating situations. The concept of "catalog" involves above all that you need to think of your images based on two different files that are in different locations on your computer. One is your image file (Raw, JPG, TIFF) and the other is the data entry written for this image into the Lr catalog. Lr constantly updates this catalog (without you having to hit <save>) and constantly combines the image file with the data from the catalog. From this follows the demand that you take care of the Lr catalog as much as you take care for your image files - by knowing where they are located on your computer and by doing regular backups.
Would it be worth the investment? In my opinion definitively "yes"! I work with Lr since version 1 on a daily basis and would not want to miss it. Lr gives you superior image editing possibilities (in the Develop Module) but - as already said - is also a superb image management tool. Lr will keep track of all of your images irrespective if they are on internal or external hard drives. With Lr you have all of your images available all the time.
But Lr has also a steep learning curve. You cannot just jump in and do things because you'd create havoc and become frustrated. There are excellent books but for starters I would recommend that you watch the video tutorials on Adobe's website. You learn from them easily because you see on your screen what the instructor does, where he clicks, where the different tools are, etc.
Here are some links:

If you decide to buy, you can do so on Adobe's website. You will then be e-mailed a serial # that will unlock your trial version for indefinite time.

Saving/Exporting to original folder

I have spent the last week 'learning' Lightroom using books by Martin Evening and Scott Kelby. I am starting to get it!?
I have "Developed" a jpg image(from now on I will shoot only in RAW) and want to put it in the same folder as the original image as I will be using the folder for a Slide Show. Here is what I think I should do:
1. Export the file to the original folder with a custom name + seqence #;
2. Import this file through the Library.
3. "Move" the file beside the original file.
4. As soon as I have deterimed that the "developed" file is the one I want then I can Remove the original from the Library or delete it from the disk.
Is the way I should do this or is there a better or more "correct" way.
Thanks

You're much better off keeping the original in Lightroom. You will retain the very highest quality at no expense of disk space. As soon as you export, you loose quality and a lot of editing ability. Exports in Lightroom are akin to consumables. You do them for a certain purpose like for a client or a website and when you done with them you delete them. You have the high quality in Lightroom anyways.

Can't save pictures on original folder position after edit...since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

can't save pictures on original folder position after edit, get save popup to save at different position, also still on toubles to get them back to original folder positon since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

I say the problem is probably noted, and probably will be resolved. Not that i can speak for Apple. I find the "problems" of wallpaper to be pretty minor compared to the advantages of iOS 7. The fun of wallpaper has always been pretty insignificant here.

IMovie won't open and Library Folder is missing in Finder

A few days ago, I downloaded the recent iMovie program. I even used it to make a video. Today I wanted to make another one but iMovie won't open at all. The wheel just spins and spins and nothing opens. So, I went into Finder and noticed my Library folder was missing. How did that happen? Is that why iMovie won't open?
I searched the Discussion Forums and saw how to find the Library folder in Lion. (Press Option and hit the Go button in the menu bar.) But, I have Maverick. I tried this anyway but I have no idea what/where the Go button is.
How do I find, or replace if necessary, my Library folder and get iMovie to open? I have a mid-2007 iMac that's been upgraded from Snow Leopard, so I don't want to put the Install Disk in and lose everything. Help?

Thanks. Sorry for the confusion with the Library Folder. It's just been a long day all around.
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I know it's older but it's never caused me a day's trouble since I've owned it. I hate to replace it until the next upgrade.
ETA: I just opened the Activity Monitor in Utilities and it says, out of 4GB of Memory, that 3.88GB are Used. I don't understand this because I have very, very few things loaded onto my iMac at all. I've always had tons of memory left. I don't have any music on my PC at all. No movies, either. My dock only has Finder, Launchpad, Dashboard, Safari, Firefox, TextEdit and System Preferences.
Here's a report from my Activity Monitor. Any suggestions? I have no idea what some of these things are, like: CalendarAgent (I don't use calendar at all),

Unable to save Photoshop files in original folder: file disappears

Hi,
At random moments when I'm saving layered Photoshop CS5 files, a message pops up with the following text:
Could not save "\...\FileName..." because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file.
Well the strange thing is that I'm the administrator, the only user of this PC and even when I set/check the properties of the folder containing the files this continues to happen. What is even more disturbing is that I have to save my file as a new file in a new location and when I check the original file, it is no longer in it's original folder.
I save all my files to the local HD and I use an external device to backup my files. I regularly get notices on my backup device telling me that various files were deleted, but will be kept until I need the room. These are files which I did not delete, they are files which I'm still working on.
I'm having to save to the original job folder first, save to the desktop when I get the notice saying I can't save, and then save back into the original folder when I can't save on the desktop anymore because of the same error message. I sometimes get a similar Adobe error message which is basically along the same lines, but I haven't noted the exact text yet.
Recently I closed a file which I had saved and when I needed to return to it, it was nowhere on my computer. I'm very organised about file saving, so it's not a matter of saving files in the wrong place.
I no longer run my back up continuously while I'm working because while it's great to have the peace of mind that I'm regularly backed up, my files can get up to 2GB in size and I think the backup running at the same time is slowing Photoshop processes down, so I most often pause it until I take a break. On this occasion, I had been running it while working (smaller file) and so I was able to retrieve an earlier version from my backup which saved me from having to re-do the job completely. I didn't get this problem when I was using CS5 on Vista, it's been since I've been using Windows7 and my back up drive.
I only recall having had this problem with PSDs, but that could just be because these files can take up to ten hours to complete and there's a higher chance of getting an error message over a longer period of time.
It doesn't happen very often by there has been the very rare occasion where two versions of exactly the same file have been visible in the original job folder (same name on both files). To check if files are where they're supposed to be or if they seem to exhist, I have to close the job folder and re-open it.
I'll disconnect my back up drive while I'm working and see how it goes. It's not ideal, but probably worth a try.
I don't know if there's a connection, but occasionally windows randomly sticks a lock on zipped folders which I create, regardless of the permissions I apply to the upper level folder they sit in. I'm told by a friend that it won't affect other people accessing these zipped folders from other machines. I don't know if that's the case, I always change the zipped folder's permission to include 'Users' and that makes the lock disappear.
I will run this file disappearance thing by Microsoft, but I thought I'd run it buy you guys first in case you can shed any light on it.
Meanwhile here are my specs. If you have any suggestions on how I can boost my computer's performance for large format print work in Photoshop I'd be happy to know. It's not bad now, but faster is always more pleasant:

Thank you,

A great first chapter Charlie. Can't wait for the rest of the book.
The only time I've had anything like this happen, was in a new build after hooking the drives from the old system, but the permissions really were screwed up, and it was a straight forward fix. Is the machine networked perhaps? The files open in another app? I expect you answered this already somewhere in your forum equivalent of War & Peace. ;-) The lads on the Premiere Pro hardware forum can be disparaging about Dell and HP machines, saying their proprietary hardware and software are inaccessible, so I wonder if it is something along those lines.
I’d definitely unhook the second drive as a starting point, or at least double/treble check its permissions.
The only other thing I can think of is changing the state of ‘Save as to original folder’ in Preferences > file handling, but this is all very tenuous and straw clutching.

How do I move photos to a new folder without it showing in the original folder

I am trying to rearrange my iPhoto 11 folders. Every time I move a photo to a new album it stays in the original folder. If I delete the photo it is gone from both the folder and the album I created. Is there a way to do this. I am trying to separate pictures taken on my iPhone.

First off since we can only communicate via words using the correct words is critical
Folders in iPhoto do not hold photos - folders hold albums or other folders
Albums hold photos
Events hold photos
Alnums and folders are used to organize photos
Alnums are really just pointers to photos in events so any change mad eto a photo in an event, in photo view or in any album it is in is reflected everywhere
If you want to move phots between albums simply drag them
If you want to move photos between events flag them in teh source event and teh select the destination event and add flagged photos to selected event

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

Trying to clean up my iMac. Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder. Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?

DO NOT remove either folder. DO NOT mess with any OS X system files either. If you have dupliocates check your files in iPhoto, iTunes and your iMovies libraries. Also check your data files, under ALL circumstances stay away from any OS X systems files or you will probably bork your Mac to the point it will not run.

Save files as PNG to original folder, using droplets in Photoshop CC 2014

I want to save RAW images from Lightroom as PNG and found a method online that involves using a droplet in PS. I created this droplet with an action in PS that involves saving an image file as a PNG, to a folder which I call 'PNG files'. To get a PNG file the procedure goes like this:
From Lightroom the image is saved as a TIFF in a new folder within it's original folder
After saving the image, the droplet is used automatically from Lightroom;
The TIFF image is opened in Photoshop, and saved as a PNG in the 'PNG files' folder
My issues with this is that (1) it creates an unneeded TIFF file and (2) The final PNG image is not saved in the folder of the original RAW file. Ideally I'd like to convert the TIFF to PNG in Photoshop and overwrite the TIFF file with the final PNG file. However with the way Photoshop "Save As" and "Save for Web" functions are set up, I must choose a specific folder for the PNG file, which means that all the resulting images end up in one folder, instead of in whichever folder the TIFF file was saved to. With droplets there is an option to "Save and Close" which would overwrite the original TIFF file with the final file. However this bypasses the action where I saved the image as a PNG, so I'd essentially be overwriting one TIFF file with another TIFF file.
The situation now is that for the sake of organization I'd have to (1) delete the TIFF files after each export and (2) Move the final PNG files to the folders I want them to be in. This of course would be time consuming.
If you could help me with this problem I'd be extremely grateful! With the medium I'm using PNG files display much better than JPG. Now I just want to achieve a smooth workflow.

When you record the action to Save As PNG (not save for web) it doesnt matter where the location is.
You will override this in the droplet.
Action- states a location of 2014/06/04 (irrelevant)
Droplet- Overrides the location.
The Save and close portion of the droplet does just that. A location is never asked for.
The preference in Photoshop- ensures the png is saved alongside the tiff.

/private/etc/cups folder is missing

I am working tech support for a college and a faculty member currently working abroad called in with a problem that Microsoft Word for Mac would lock up everytime he tried to save or print a file. I remoted into his machine and I tried the usual suspects and was able to determine that nothing would print at all from any app, and in fact when I went to system preferences and tried to open the printers, it locked up system preferences. Digging deeper, I discovered that I was getting this message in console:
com.apple.launchd[1] (org.cups.cupsd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
The error kept repeating. I researched and found this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2151368?start=0&tstart=0
Which led me to try these terminal commands:
sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.old
sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
I got an error in terminal that "No such file or directory existed"
So I checked and sure enough, inside of /private/etc/ there was no folder for cups. Its just gone. I assume that the folder being missing is the root of the problem, but I cant figure out how to get it back for him, especially considering that I am trying to assist him remotely. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
