Problem removing folder from Lightroom

HI,
I'm new to Lightroom (using 5) and I am trying to get some photo uploads organized. When I imported them, they came in a folder that was poorly organized so I moved them into folders that I preferred. That was fine. BUT now the original folder in lightroom is empty (I deleted from finder after emptying it) and when I remove it from my lightroom ALL the other folders go with it. The funny part is, the total picture count still shows that all the pictures are in lightroom and accounted for, but the folders are no longer there and accessible.
I have attached a screen shot of the folders. I would like to remove the 2014 folder at the top, but when I do, the desktop folder and everything under it goes as well. Why? And how do i prevent that from happening? THANKS!!
Ultimately, I would like to move the 2014 folder from being on the desktop as well.

Your lack of tact was a little bit insulting, regardless of when it happened. No big deal though. I digress.
Since you cannot view folders in iTunes, you cannot delete folders thru iTunes.
You could put all the songs you want to delete into a playlist then select all the songs and Command Delete to delete them all at once.
That's the point. There should be an easier way. But putting them into a playlist before deleting them would be even more work than just deleting them the first time you click them. So this isn't really helpful either.
Ed's answer was helpful because he addressed the concerns of the original poster. But it also illustrated the need for iTunes programmers to include a feature to remove a folder from your iTunes library as easily as you can add them. If the best way to remove 200GB worth of music from your itunes library is to change the file extensions, then click to delete every single file with an exclamation point next to it; there is quite simply a flaw in design.
Apple iTunes programmers need to make the adjustment. Right next to the "File" command: "Add folder to library", you could have a command to "Remove folder from library." Or a "Manage Library" option would be great. Itunes obviously knows what folders it's library consists of so why not allow it to populate a list of them with the option to deselect undesired folders? Why hasn't this been done in one of the numerous iTunes updates? Is it really that hard to understand?

Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. Can anyone help please

Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. I can send mails to the folder but cannot delete them permanently from the trash folder. I am using Iphone 3G and anm up to date with OS. Can anyone help please

Check that there isn't a different Trash folder to the one with the proper Trash symbol on it.
If you see one in your list of folders rather than a separate one, highlight it, then click on Mailbox...Use this mailbox for...Trash

How do I clear a photo folder from lightroom after I have worked on one photo and am finished with particular folder

how to clear folder from lightroom after I have finished with working on one particular photo

I don't know why you would want to do that. You import images into Lightroom so that you can perform nondestructive editing. If you remove the images from Lightroom when you are "finished" with them then you will lose all of the work that you have performed on those images.
The idea is to keep the master images in the catalog and export JPEG files when the image needs to be shared with others.

Having problems removing tags from script.

I'm not using the browser to run Adobe Story, but the Desktop version from my iMac. Cmd + Double Click works, but once every 30 times. Is anyone else having this problem removing tags from a script?

There are other ways to remove tags from a script
From Tagging Panel:
- Open Tagging Panel from View Menu
- Click on Edit button. Here you have the option to delete individual tag-items or remove all from the scene.
From File Menu
- Open File - Tagging menu
Here you will find the options to delete all/manually added/automatically added tags.

Problem trashing folder from Applications

I just discovered that I can't move or trash anything out of my applications folder. MAC help just says I have to be logged on as an administrator to do that, but I am. I can do other administrator things, but not that. I made sure the permissions were ok in the Get Info window, eg., that I was the owner. I was able to trash the contents of the folder, but not the folder. I then discovered that I couldn't move anything in the applications folder, meaning, if I want to get rid of some small program, like Mac Solitaire, which isn't in a folder, I can't! This all happened right after I downloaded an update for the Limewire file sharing program and discovered after I installed it that it wasn't working properly, so decided to trash it. That was the one I had the initial trouble with. What could be going on here? Have I caught a virus or something? I haven't tried to remove anything from the applications folder for such a long time that I don't know if there was a problem before I downloaded Limewire. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi sedona76,
Though it appears some permissions are correct, have
you done a "repair permissions?"
If not, run Disk Utility and repair permissions (go
Utilities>Disk Utility>First Aid>Repair Disk
Permissions.)
Now try to trash the program you desire to delete.
Please post back with results.
Hope this helps.
Bob
Thank you, thank you Bob. That worked just fine.

Remove Folder From iTunes Songs

I wish to replace my large database of music on the HDD of my DVD player/recorder and to do this I need to remove the folder from the various albums and songs held in iTunes. Does anyone have an easy answer to this problem that iTunes has created for me?

When I transferred my music collection from Windows Media Player to iTunes it consisted of one folder with thousands of individual files with the track name and composer or singer etc. In this format I was able to upload to my LG DVD player/recorder HDD.
I now wish to add more tracks to my LG machine and have discovered that iTunes has placed each track into a folder and each album into a folder as well. My LG player cannot read the songs because of the folder. It cannot see the tracks to be played.
I am looking for a way to strip the tracks from the folders so that each track can be seen in one long list.
I hope this explanation is clearer.

Problem removing components from JLayeredPane

Hi all,
I have a problem showing and hiding components on a JLayeredPane. It goes Something like this:
In my application I have a button. When this button is pressed I use getLayeredPane to get the frames layered pane. I then add a JPanel containing a number of labels and buttons onto that layered pane on the Popup layer. The panel displays and funcitons correctly.
The problem comes when I try to remove the panel from the layered pane. The panel does not dissappear and I am no longer able to click on anything else in the frame!
If anyone has any ideas how to get around this or what the problem might be I'd be very greatful to hear it. Sample code follows:
      * Called when the button on the frame is pressed:
      * @param e
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                JLayeredPane mLayredPane = getLayeredPane();
          int x = 0, y = 0;
          Container c = this;
          while (true)
               c = c.getParent();
               if (c != null)
                    x += c.getLocation().x;
                    y += c.getLocation().y;
                    if (c instanceof JRootPane)
                         break;
               else
                    break;
          mPanel.setBounds(x, y, 235, 200);
          mLayredPane.add(mPanel, JLayeredPane.POPUP_LAYER);
//And when a listener fires from the panel I use
mLayredPane.remove(mPanel);
//To remove it from the layered pane and in theory return the
//app to the state it was before the panel was displayedThanks again...

The problem is you only removed it within the program, without actually removing it from the display. If that makes any sense, or whether thats your problem at all.
If you are only using this line.
mLayredPane.remove(mPanel);
I think if you tell it to repaint and revalidate it should work, though i have never used LayeredPane.
mLayredPane.repaint();
mLayredPane.revalidate();

Problems transferring images from lightroom to PS... why??

I'm using a imac 2011 and I was trying for the first time to transfer an image from lightroom (version 3) to PS (version CS3 10.01) using these steps:
select image, right click to "edit in", then selected "open as a smart object in ps" and then PS opens BUT no image is in it...??
I have checked for updates but it says it's all good. I have also tried just "edit in PS CS3" but same thing! Why is this?? please help...
Thanks,
Dina

Hey Dina. CS3 is no longer updated with the most recent versions of ACR, so it probably can't understand the file. Is the file from a recent camera?

Removing "+JPG" from Lightroom Thumbnails

Hello,
I've been shooting RAW+JPG on my 30D and importing them both into Lightroom. There seems no point in using JPG with Lightroom, so to save space I now want to shoot in just RAW.
To save even more space, I want to remove/delete the JPG's that I shot alongside my RAW pictures which are now stored on my hard drive. The problem is that if I delete the JPG, the RAW thumbnail still has "+JPG" in the extension. (Example: 20071113_001.CR2+JPG)
What do I need to do to update the filename in the extension so it doesnt show the associated "+JPG" which does not exist anymore?
I've searched several online forums but can't seem to find the answer to this problem.
Thanks!

Hi Dom,
You could do it using the save metadata approach or the SQL approach (might be a bit quicker).
SQL method
Download SQLite Administrator (free) from http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/ and unzip it to a folder on your hard drive.
Make sure LR is closed and make a copy of your catalogue before you start.
Start SQLiteAdmin, then from the menu select Database>Open. In the Open Database dialog box change the Files of type to Any File, then locate and open your LR catalogue. Ignore the left panel, which lists all the tables and indexes in the database, you will be working in the right panels - SQL Query and Result tabs.
To begin with, copy and paste the following query into the SQL Query tab:
select count(image) as jpegSidecars from Adobe_imageFiles
where lc_idx_filenameExtension='jpg'
and importHash is null;
Then press F9 to Execute with Result. This will give you a count under the heading jpegSidecars in the Results tab. It is a count of the number of jpegs in the catalogue that have been imported along with raw images.
If you want to see the records, you can copy, paste and execute the similar query:
select * from Adobe_imageFiles
where lc_idx_filenameExtension='jpg'
and importHash is null;
Instead of counting the database records, this will list them in the Results tab.
So far, this is just information and has not altered the catalogue. The next SQL query removes these records from the catalogue - there is no going back after this (except with your backup). Copy, paste and Execute without Result (press F8) this query:
delete from Adobe_imageFiles
where lc_idx_filenameExtension='jpg'
and importHash is null;
This will only delete the sidecar jpegs, not jpegs that have been imported on their own.
Once this has executed, close SQLiteAdmin and open LR to check your catalogue.
You should see your raw files without the +jpeg sidecars. You can also now import your jpegs as separate files if you wanted to.
As far as I can tell, this is all that is needed.
Good luck
Tony

Removing folder from Finder Favorites??

I created a folder a while back called 'pics' to put in photos that I was editing. I put a shortcut to the folder in the favorites list in Finder. I recently reorganised my folders and decided that I no longer required the folder. I deleted it from Finder. However, I have just noticed that the 'pics' folder is still on the Finder Favorites list. I have tried to drag it to the trash as well as delete it from the list to no avail. It is still there! When I click on it to see if anything is in it it does nothing. I can move it etc but not delete. Does anyone have any idea how to remove it?

A year or two later and you're still helping people, very impressive! A quick google search brought me straight here. I'd been longing to get rid of these old burn folders for months especially with their icon that looks worryingly like the radioactive hazard symbol. Maybe you can also explain exactly what the point of the favorites list in finder is in the first place as it seems to cause no end of problems. Many thanks.

Problem removing rows from JTable

Hello,
I'm having an issue with a JTable that I'm using. At one point in my application, I want to remove all the rows from the table and regenerate them (from a database). When I try to remove the rows and do nothing else, they remain in the table. The rows are being removed from the model, as I have verified this in code, but the display does not refresh at all.
I am using custom renderers to change the background color of a cell based on its value, and I disabled them to see if that was the problem, but alas, it is not.
Any suggestions or ideas why this may be occurring?

I am using model.setRowCount(0); to clear the model, however the display never refreshes. Then you are doing something wrong because its that simple. Only a single line of code is required.
Perhaps I should have included this in my original post.Actually, you should have included demo code in your original post. That way we don't have to guess what you are doing.
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

Problem Removing FocusManager from Memory

Ok, so I have a class that I use as a menu for my program. It has some Flash components and an instance of FocusManager in it. My base class instantiates this class collects the data from the user via the components and then removes the class and continues on with the program. The problem is that after I remove it and move on it is still being held in memory. The file I am using now was created in Flash CS4 and I then I run the profiler on it in Flash Builder 4. After I take the two snap shots and look at the loitering objects I can see that the FocusManager is still there and it is keeping my class there. Here is what the class looks like (I made it simple test one that does what the class from my application is doing):
package
import fl.managers.FocusManager;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class TestMenu extends Sprite
private var fm:FocusManager;
public function TestMenu()
   init();
private function init():void
   //Add code
public function activateFM():void
   fm = new FocusManager(this);
public function clearFocus():void
   fm.deactivate();
   fm = null;
Is there something else that I am not doing? If anyone has some insight into this I would greatly appreciate it.

What I meant is that instead of using whatever erase functionality (I wouldn't know one), the code inside the function modules of FG1 should clear all global data with CLEAR and REFRESH statements before returning to the calling program. Even better would be to not use any global data in FG1 in the first place, if possible, rather work with local data declarations only inside the function modules.

Problem viewing folder from Launchpad

I'm unable to view one of the folders in my launchpad. All the apps are still in the Applications folder, just unavailable from the Launchpad. Is there any way to restore the folder without losing my apps?
Here's a screenshot of the page with the Utilities folder. It's not the Apple utilities folder - those are stored elsewhere and are working fine - but other apps i've downloaded.

Resetting the Dock should solve the problem.
Here is how to do it (this does not delete any files or apps):
1. Open Terminal.app (in Applications/Utilities)
2. type "killall Dock" (without the quotes).
3. hit Return

Problem exporting pics from Lightroom 2.7 to PS 5.1

I need some help!
When I installed PS 5.1 on my new computer, I began working on
pictures from a recent shoot. I start with camera RAW in Lightroom then export to PS 5.1
. I have not had a problem before, but must have
gotten my settings wrong or something. Exporting works great,
no problems. But when I go into
PS 5.1 to tweak them, they look entirely different. Example: The vignette I added in LR looks 'streaked/not smooth' in PS. Also the skin doesn't look smooth.
What have I done wrong? Why is it looking weird in PS? Thank you for your help! I've got to finish these pics and can't figure it out.

I don't use PS much, but I remember that if the percentage zoom isn't some nice value like 50% or 33.33%, etc., the image looks "rough". So that may be your problem. How does the photo look if you look at it 1:1?
What are the values set in your Preferences/External Editing for PS CS5?
