Problem with folders

i noticed that in the "info" of a video file you can set the video type to either movie, music video, or tv show.
but when i look under videos on my ipod it only shows music videos and movies, but no tv shows menu, and so i cant access my tv show files, but when i'm on itunes they show up on the list. but if i set their info to movie it shows up under the movie section.
basically the problem seems to be that there is no tv show folder showing on the ipod in the video section....
any help would be great

Where is this TV show from? If it wasn't the iTunes music store it won't appear under that menu on your iPod.
Videos labeled TV Shows in iTunes don't appear on iPod
There's some 3rd party software that allows you to do this. Google for "Atomic Parsley".

Problems with folders

hello. i have a little problem with my BB Z10. I`ve rearrabged display folders for personalized use, created new ones, but after my battery died and recharged, all my folders have been erased, and everything else was like yesterday.

Sometimes changes only show after a reboot, pull the battery and reboot.

To let iTunes organize, or not to organize... and problems with folders...

Okay, I have a question that I can't seem to get a good answer to.
I am a manager of a couple of local bands that are always sending me MP3's. Most of the time, its jus part of a song, with no ID tags. I have a folder on my desktop that I save all the songs to, where I customize the filename of each song so I know when it was sent to me, what the song is called (today), and what band sent it.
Right now I have iTunes set up to organize my music.
Here's my problem. I want to be able to see the music in iTunes. So I tried dragging the folder over... okay, except now the music is showing up with blank artist and song info. BAD. And then I figured out that iTunes doesn't 'monitor' this folder, as I saved new music, and it didn't turn up in iTunes. So I dragged the folder over again, now things are showing up TWICE - thank you very much for making my life difficult. And since they aren't showing up all in one place, I can't go in an delete them all and start again.
What I REALLY want, and I'm not sure if this is possible or not, is to have a FOLDER in the iTunes library called mybands, and have all the songs there. Now, songs are constantly added (sent via email, saved to this folder). So I want iTunes to monitor this folder and show the recent additions. But I also want iTunes to delete songs from this folder when I delete in the Library, instead of doing that stupid 'show file' thing.
I'd like to be able to make all the changes to the ID3 tags there too.
Can I do this? If so, does the folder have to be in the iTunes library folder to make this happen? I'd LIKE to continue to use the iTunes organize my music feature... I've never turned it off so I don't know what will work and what wont.
Thanks.
iTunes 6.042 Windows XP Pro

If you turn off the auto-organize feature, then you can allow tracks to reside in whatever folder you want. Trouble is, iTunes doesn't do ANYTHING to display tracks by folder - only tags are used.
Overall this is a sensible approach - in my 15,500 song library I certainly don't care what the folder/file names are, that would be a horrible organizational scheme when there are so many useful parameters to use (genre, year, compilations, comments etc.)
I would recommend that you install a second media player that is "folder centric" like Winamp for use with the files sent to you by bands. You can setup a "watch folder" and listen to tracks in Winamp without disturbing iTunes in the least.
An alternative that requires a bit of work is to manually tag MP3s in the folder BEFORE dragging them into iTunes. A utility like ID3-TagIT can be used to add some special tags en masse to allow you to identify songs in the "mybands" folder, etc.

Problems with folders and applications after SL upgrade

I purchased Snow Leopard and installed on my Macbook Pro everything ran smoothly and very impressed with the changes and extra storage on hard drive I checked thoroughly to make sure all was working and could not find a single problem I have Final Cut Studio 3, Photoshop CS3, Aperture, Iwork 09 and more and have had no problems at all using them. So....
Then feeling secure with Snow Leopard I installed on my MacPro (in exactly the same way which I had previously done on by Macbook Pro!) which I use for my work which has all of the above applications and all of my important documents, pictures, movies, music etc.
I have 4TB of hard drive split on a RAID set up 1 half is for storage of my footage and editing the 2nd half is everything else including applications.
Once the installation was complete and I started to hear the music and video for OSX it then started to go through to open up a new account as if I had just purchased a new computer and was setting it up for the first time or when you erase and install (my worst fear!)
I then in a panic searched for all of my valuable files or applications which I could not seem to find in any of the usual places where they should have been. Then through spotlight managed to find a file I recognised, here is what I have found and I will try to explain.
What used to be the 1st half of the RAID set up which contained all of the system settings, Library, Music and Applications and for general running the system appears to think this is now not used as the main hard drive but it appears to have all of my applications but I am unable to open any of them as if they are not even there.
The 2nd half which was used only for media storage and editing now has all of its existing files plus a system folder and a whole new user file with an application folder, document, system setting etc.
I have tried to just copy across all of the applications to the new working applications folder but they still don't open
I don't know how to resolve this problem and this is what I need an answer to:
Is there anyway to save these applications by dragging some kind of system preference or Library setting across to the NEW main Hard drive?
Do I need to delete all of the applications and reload them all? - VERY TIME CONSUMING!
Being Mac is there anything easy that would reverse whats happened.
Any help/ advise greatly appreciated. Still in a panic so if I don't make sense please ask me to clarify.

After two hours of these lockups and limited troubleshooting, I decided the software stability warranted using the HP software recovery program, so after using the 'normal' (not destructive) recovery program, I'm now getting the "NTLDR is compressed problem; press CTRL+ALT+DEL to REBOOT" -AND- I don't have an external recovery disk that gets me to an to get MSDOS prompt to try to decompress NTLDR.
Given the system's age, I cannot imagine that I'm the first person to encounter this problem. Any assistance that can be provide is greatly appreciated.
Your hard disk might have gone south (become nonfunctional). Is there a hard disk option in your BIOS?

Problem with folders when I click on some of these

Hi, I've got a problem when I click on some of my added folders on a system form (Service Contract).
I added five new folder. The three first are perfect, I don't have anything to say about it, but the last two one cannot be focused correctly.
By example, suppose five folders: fol1, fol2, fol3, fol4, fol5 added respectively from fol1 to fol5. Suppose I click on fol2. Then if I click on fol4 or fol5, theses one will show the right controls (the panelevel is changed appropriately), but the "image" of the folder still stay on fol2. This doesn't happen when I'm in add mode, but in all other modes.
Thanks in advance !!
By the way, anyone know how to change the total width occupied by a group of folder ?

Is it possible that it could have a maximum of folders that we can put on a system form ?

The total width occupied by the group of folders is not changable, it's determined by the width of the caption. But however, the real visible 'folder' is determined by a rectangle. (Also see this image: http://zooi.ookvan.mine.nu/folders.JPG)
And concerning your "pressed" status of your fol4 and fol5, (if you're not have more folders then 9, as Lita mentioned) Isn't there a event that catches the click or item_pressed event? Because if you set the bubbles event and set the BubblesEvent, SBO see you are saying "Hey, I'm done", and does nothing more. So it does not change the status of the folder item...
Hope it helps... Grtz, Rowdy

Problem with folders disappearing

I hope someone can shed light on this very puzzling problem.
In summary, I copied three folders (about 25GB, 1000's of files) from an almost full partition to an almost empty partition. After the copy operation (which I later found out did not complete), a folder on my target disk, unrelated to the copy operation, is missing. Using the "WhatSize" program, it seems that an amount of space about what the missing folder would be is unaccounted for on the target disk.
My intent was to copy the three folders to an emptier spot and delete the originals to regain space on the almost full partition. Thank heavens I didn't do that. Now I'm not sure I have the confidence to delete anything.
Some details:
I created the missing folder a few minutes earlier, moving about six other folders into it, just to consolidate them and reduce directory clutter.
After the copy operation, when I discovered the folder was missing, I started looking at the results of the copy, and found that it had terminated prematurely, leaving about half of the last of the three folders uncopied. I manually checked contents using two parallel finder windows, and copied the uncopied files/folders.
The two partitions are on the same drive, the only two partitions there.
The screen went to sleep (or at least to screen saver) during the copy operation. The computer is set to never sleep, nor to turn off disks.
The "copy from" partition was actively network-shared at the time, though not accessed.
I can't locate the missing folder in trash, finder search, spotlight, terminal, anywhere. It seems to be truly missing, although its space still seems to be allocated. Disk repair does nothing.
Any thoughts?

Mail 6.0 in Mountain Lion - Problem with Folders

Since loading mountain lion and using Mail 6.0 I can no longer click and drag emails into email folders on my iMac. The email drags but then 'shimmers' over the folder and won't drop into the folder. Does anyone have a solution?

Yes, when I let go of the message it just snaps back to where it was. I can perform this operation multiple times successively using the same email and folder, and the email always snaps back. I do not know if the drag/drop bug you mention is at work here, but it seems to be connected.
The normal behaviour you describe is not happening. The 'shimmer' I describe is that a border appears around the folder and flashes on and off very rapidly for maybe half a second and then disappears; let go, and the email snaps back to where it was.
Any suggestions?

Problems with folders and Publishing Services

Hello,
i have the following problem since yesterday:
After opening LR I can open one folder or a folder in the publishing service (Harddrive). When I want to open another folder the problem pops up. The behaviour between the folder and the publishing services is different:
- folder: by clicking on another folder nothing happens, LR still displays the previous selected folder.
- publishing service: by clicking on a publishing service folder, the pictures of this folder are shown, but the meta data, tags etc are still the same one of the first selected picture after opening Lightroom.
Does anymone know a solution for it? I've also tried to optimize the database, to restart Lightroom and the computer, but nothing changes.
I am using Mac OS X, LR 5.2, German
Thanks in advanced.

Build Problems with folders

Hi everyone, i make a project and in the end i generate a tdm file and put the file in the reports folder of the current project, when i execute the program in the programing windows works very well, but when a make a build and create the .exe, the program can´t find the path and don't save the .tdm file. in the folder
i don't know if i create the built incorrectly or i have a bad configuration when i create the path.
Thanks.

I have a couple questions:
1. When you run this code as source code and as an executable, what is displayed in the Path 3 indicator and the string indicator? Knowing the differences between these indicators when running in source code vs. exe form will be useful i knowing where your problem is.
2. Why convert the path to to a string and then back to a path just to add your reports folder? Why not just use the Build Path primitive? It is right next to the Strip Path primitive that you are using.
Let me know the results from number 1 and I can help some more!

Having a problem with app files and fonts between OS

I work in a prepress department, and we are have issues with files that are coming from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8. The 10.4.11 is a power PC and the 10.5.8 is Intel. Fonts get corrupt and display as a unix file with 0 file size and application files like Quark loose there ID and come up as a document file. I think this has to do with the OS difference. Is there any way that this can be fixed???

Well we are having the the same problem with folders. Jobs that are made on a 10.4 Mac, sometimes you can't see the contents of the folder on a 10.5 Mac. And there is no pattern.
And if you take the contents out of the folder and put it loose using a 10.4 Mac, you can see it on a 10.5 Mac
Also if we put a .dfont on the end to the font using a 10.4 Mac, you can see the font on a 10.5 Mac.
This is all very strange. There are no patterns and no reason why one folder would work and the other does not. Just checking if there is something that could be causing a problem between the OS's.

Wordpress: strange problem with localization

Hi, I'm using Wordpress on both a G5 and a MBP (the former with serverlogistic MySQL 4.x version, the latter with a MySQL 5.x official installation). In most cases, I'm using the italian language file. Suddenly, Wordpress doesn't regognize localization.
This happens on both my Macs, with any version of WP (2.1 to 2.3), previously or freshly installed. The same sites, booting from Tiger, are in italian as expected.
A clean install of Leopard didn't solve the problem. Permissions seem to be ok, but I'm having often problems with folders moved to Sites folder (which are sometimes not accessible via web browser).
Any clue? Permissions? Global variables handled by php5/apache2 different form Tiger? Something else?

I apparently found where the problem was. I'm not able to explain the details, but the answer is here (in italian):
http://www.wordpress-it.it/forum/topic/5370
as far as I understood, you have to change line 116 of file wp-includes/gettext.php from:
$magic = $this->readint();
to
$magic = $this->readint() & 0xFFFFFFFF;
This seem to be a php5 bug (?). Here is (probably) something about it:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=10565
I don't even know what I'm talking about... I'm not such an expert in php. But it works...
(with a different php5 installation on Tiger/Apache 1.x I hadn't this problem, anyway)

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

Problem with Image Capture Download Folders

Hi there - I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with a problem I'm having with Image Capture (version 3.0.3 (333))?
I use image capture to download photos from my digital camera and normally have no problems.
When I tried to do some downloads this morning, my normal list of folders in the "Download to" drop-down box is completely blank. It didn't even have the "Other" option to chose a folder. The Automatic Task drop down was also blank, I could not open preferences and in the "options" box, the ColourSync profile would not load anything.
I could not download the photos to anywhere - when I tried to "download some" it gave me an error message saying that I need to choose a download folder, but of course I am unable to do this.
This morning I tried repairing permissions in disk utilities, and removing the com.apple.imagecaptureapplist file and rebooting as suggested here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10368631&#10368631
but that hasn't worked completely. I can now download the photos but they just automatically go to the "Pictures". At least I can download them now, but if I can get the two drop down boxes working again, and the other things working (preferences etc), that would be great.
One other thing, about a month ago I foolishly tried to rename my Home Folder without doing it the proper way. I had thought I had gotten everything back to normal with my library etc, but maybe there are a few unknown implications still out there, and this is one of them as I don't think I have tried to download any photos since then.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Antony

Hi and thanks again
OK:
1. I found the photo and have put it back as the login page icon as close as I could to what it used to look like..
2. I trashed the user's .com.apple.systempreference file but it didn't work.
3. I then copied my .com.apple.systempreference file to their library>preferences folder but no luck.
4. Finally, I noticed the other user account had no system preferences file in their "Applications" folder. So I copied the system preferences file from my application folder across and used that to open system preferences, and that has seemed to fix it, ie. system preferences now opens directly from the apple menu.
So I am noticing a few things now:
5. The other user's "Applications" folder doesn't have many applications in it. It only has:
- Utilities
- Adobe Version Cue CS2
- Real Player
- iTunes (which was only downloaded there recently - post Home Folder name change I think)
- Imagecapture which I copied there yesterday
- and now System preferences
6. This is compared to my user account applications folder which has loads of other files in it, eg. Preview, Stuffit Expander, iDVD, iChat, Calculator, Chess, Skype, etc etc etc. I just can't remember if this was the case before the Home Folder rename.
7. Now, my user account used to be the only admin account, so it makes sense that my "Applications Folder" has more in it because programs could only have been downloaded there for a long time. The other person's user account has only been an admin account much more recently - say in the last year and very few applications (if any) would have been downloaded there.
8. Interestingly, while the other user account doesn't have the Skype or Preview file in their "Applications" folder, it does appear in their bar along the bottom of the screen that has the dashboard and finder icons (is this called the dock?).
9. Anyway, if you are in the other user's account and you click on Skype, iCal, Word or Preview in their Dock for example, those programs open no problem so the dock icons must somehow have survived the Home Folder renaming and stayed linked to the corresponding files in my "Applications" folder? But some other programs, eg. system preferences, image capture etc didn't survive it and became "delinked".
10. I also notice internetconnect still works in the other user account, even though there is no internetconnect file in that user's "Applications" folder.
11. So it seems that some links between the other user and my account have been severed, and some have survived.
Some other information:
12. Everything that was on the other user's desktop appears to have been recovered since the Home Folder debacle (I think getting the Library back helped this?), and I managed to redo the desktop picture/wallpaper.
13. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but in my account, Finder has a side bar on the left that is divided into an upper section and a lower section. The lower section has my home folder, a documents folder, a desktop folder, a pictures folder etc. On the upper section it has the macintosh disk icon, and also a Network Icon (that contains a library file and another file which I can't remember just now but can let you know if that helps). The other user account does not have the Network icon however. Do you think this might make a difference?
14. In addition to the other user account there is also a guest account on this computer which has suffered the same problems, eg. not being able to open imagecapture or systempreferences. However, when I fixed the problems in the other user account by copying over the imagecapture and system preferences files from my account to the other user account, the problems in the guest account were automatically fixed!
15. So it seems the guest login is somehow linked to the fixes in the other user account, but the other user account and the guest account are suffering some problems with links to my user account. Perhaps the latter was badly broken with the Home Folder rename incident?
16. Finally, if you go into Finder while in the other user's account, you can navigate to the applications folder in my account and access all the applications there, ie. Macintosh HD>Users>MyHomeFolderName>Applications. My applications folder is not blocked like some of the other ones, eg. Library, Desktop, Pictures etc.
17. Is there someway to re-establish the link between the other user account and my application's folder? I don't want to copy all the applications across even if I can do that, because it just takes up more space on the HD, but if that is all that can be done, then I will consider doing it...
Thanks again BDAqua!

Reduce folders in Windows 7 for pictures without causeing problems with PSE11

I want to simplify my Windows 7 folders and reduce the number of the folders. Can you please advise me on the best way to do this so as not to cause problems with PSE11 finding the pictures? Thank you.

The only way to move files or folders/subfolders without causing problems, that is not creating 'missing files' is to do this from within the Organizer, not the OS (Win/Mac).
You can create folders and move pictures from the Organizer.
Note that if you are moving the files of several subfolders into a single one, you run the risk of wanting to move files with the same filename into the same folder ; your OS won't allow that. So the Organizer will rename pictures if needed.
If you want to do such a big reorganizing task, absolutely do a full backup before. There is no advantage for such a reorganizing from an Organizer point of view, but if you need it for some reason, it has to be done from within the organizer.
