Put folders inside folders in iOS 7.1?

Before I start, I'll just say that I have an iPad fourth generation.
In the versions of iOS 7 before the recent 7.1, you were able to put folders inside folders on the home screen. I was wondering if there was a new way to do this.
Maybe it was removed because it was a bug or glitch, but I am one of those type of people that like to have a ton of folders and have folders inside of folders because is my way of being organized. I really want to have the ability to do this again because it was one of my favorite things about iOS 7. After the update to version 7.1 I was happy about most other things about the update, but the fact that I couldn't put folders in folders anymore wasn't a particularly good improvement for me.

I know I found it very annoying but hopefully they can have another update really soon so we can put a folder in another folder. Or hopefully the bug or glitch comes back :)

Folders under projects & folders inside folders

I'm just curious to know what people think of using folders/ they appear to be flexible.
Does a folder under a project function exactly the same way as an album under a project?
Also, can you put a folder of projects inside of another folder without any problems?

Thank all of for the earnest advice! I may be a bit further along with this than I seemed.
I just took my entire library and reordered it, with everything moved to projects, deleting all albums, (I did not realize before that they are kind of secondary to where I'm at right now, organization-wise)
The projects also now reside in folders, which are just there to refer to what's inside of them. I suppose I may reorder this by the year one day, but for now am happy with big broad categories and then inserting albums to projects during future use.
Anyway, there are some questions I had along the way. I'm only going to post the ones that seem like they might be easy to resolve... hardest question first:
What is the best approach for putting the same image from one project, into several (or into albums, too), without completely confusing myself down the line?
(I'm talking editable master or just a virtual "copy") I'm concerned that I won't be able to easily ID what's a master and what's a copy at first glance, and will have to start digging.
Is it possible for Aperture to lose track of a master file location if I go in and start changing file names within the Aperture app?
What the heck does this message mean? (and should I accept it?):
"Reprocessing photos allows you to take advantage of Aperture's new adjustments and imaging technology. You cannot undo his action."
Does anyone recommend "Vault" as opposed to, or in combination with, an old fashioned hard drive backup? (I use the latter)

Syncing photos from several folders in iTunes to iOS devices

Hi,
I am trying to set up iTunes to sync photos on my MacBook Pro to my iOS devices (first of all, my iPhone 5, but to my iPad mini and iPad 3 as well).
I happen to store my photos in a folder with a several level hierarchy: in the main photo folder there are folders for each year, in those there are folders for each event, and in those there is a separate folder for the subset of my photos that I want to be synced (photos that I like the most).
Apparently, iTunes allows to select folders for syncing in only 1 level of hierarchy. That would mean that one must not have separate folders for each year, nor for good and not-so-good photos - only one basic photo folder, and inside that folders for each event, and so every photo from selected events would be synced.
I tried a workaround: I created a specific new folder especially for syncing purposes, and I defined Smart Folders inside it. These Smart Folders would contain my desired photos virtually. (I didn't want to make physical copies of my photos, because I did not want to waste disc space.) But then it turned out that iTunes does not recognize photos in Smart Folders, only those in physical folders.
Can you give me a solution, how could I sync photos in iTunes to my iOS devices, if these photos are not in folders that are only one but more level deep in hierarchy?
Thanks a lot,
Mikulka

It works the way it works. I'd recommend you create a separate folder for any photos that you want to put on your devices, with one layer of subfolders as separate albums. Each device can sync with a different selection of those album folders.

Folders inside the Videos folder?

Hi, is there a way to organize my videos inside de Videos folder?
Folders inside the Video folder?
Thank you very much.
Cheers.

where is my actual catalogue now? my current one i am using. It has to be on that 1TB right?
Your actual catalog can be located via Lightroom->Catalog Settings->General tab
No, it does not have to be on the 1TB drive
I clicked on catalogue settings and clicked 'show' and it pointed to one of the folders inside that backup folder on the 1TB...i thought they were backups?? Where should my catalogue be?
Your catalog can go anywhere on any attached hard drive (not a networked hard drive) but usually you would put it on the fastest drive available, which would be your internal drive.
I tried taking the Folder out of the 1TB that is named Backups but then when i open lightroom it says the current catalogue is missing and asks for me to open a new one. So i put it back in the 1TB folder in the same place and opened lightroom went to recent catalogues and chose it, its back and all is intact.
You are going to have to move the working catalog file out of that folder. Even though you have found what appears to be the working catalog in the Backups folder, that is the working catalog. Move it to somewhere else, outside of the LIghtroom folder, using your operating system, and then double-click on it to open Lightroom.

Suddenly, I cannot move photos from iStream directly to individual folders inside iPhoto. Any cure?

Suddenly, I cannot move photos from iStream directly to individual folders, inside iPhoto. Any cure?

What's "iStream"?
You can't put photos into Folders in iPhoto. You can put them into Albums or Events.
So, can you explain the problem you're having?

and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

UnZipping an archive with folders inside

Hello, everyone.
A friend of mine asked me to create him an "auto-downloader" type of program, to download a ZIP archive, then extract the information to the user's computer (no, it is not harmful).
Anyways, I've been trying mutliple ways, and I've come pretty far with the one I'm currently using. The only problem is, I'm using user.home as the file location for the zip, and creating a folder in there seems to just not want to work. This is the only way I could think of doing it, but I'm sure there are easier ways.. here's what I'm using:

If what I've said before doesn't make sense (mind you me, it's 4 am and I'm about to crawl into bed), then I'll try to sum it up in a few short words below.
I'm trying to extract a ZIP archive with folders, every time I do, it stops halfway through and throws an error similar to this:
invalid cache index specified

        at Client.main(Client.java:2548)
Press any key to continue . . .I'm just trying to be able to extract cache (ZIP ARCHIVE) which has folders inside. I've tried creating a directory for the folder, but it seems to not work, hence the "?" in the above error (i printed that if the directory failed to create a new directory, as seen in my above code). Once again, sorry if this isn't as understandable as it should be, I'm not myself without sleep :)
Also, do ignore the first print, 'invalid cache index specified', it's not related to the problem.

So your question is really about how to make a directory, then. Nothing at all to do with unzipping of archives.
If you can't create a directory, then perhaps there is some permissions problem. You don't have the authority to create directories in some directory. Or perhaps you're trying to use a name which isn't a valid directory name in your system. Or... there are many other possibilities. But anyway I recommend tossing all of that unzipping business out of your program and just trying to write something which creates a directory. Debug that first.

How to keep photos in folders when removing from iOS?

I usually use Preview on Mac to import photos and delete them from the iPad. I've started putting photos in folders but this organization is not maintained on import. Is there a way to maintain this when importing? Or even better: is there a way to leave certain folders on the iPad and import/delete the rest?
Of the photos that have been imported, is the folder data maintained somewhere so I can reorganize them? Maybe I need to find a better method of importing & deleting.

iPhoto, Image Capture, Aperture...but I have never heard of using Preview to import photos to the Mac.
Folders/albums that you create in the Photos App on the iPad are for local organization on the device itself and will not import to your Mac. These folders/albums do not contain copies of the photos, but merely use pointers to the photos to make the pictures appear in these local albums. If you create new albums in the photos app and try to remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the folders as well.

Need advice. Is it necessary to put images in folders and subfolders with LR?

It seems that the concept of spending hours putting files into folders, sub-folders and sub-sub-folders is not needed with LR. Creating all these folders takes hours, especially if you are like me and need a major reorganization of image organization. My thought is that all images can go into one massive folder as long as they are properly tagged. I can then use LR Smart Collections to essentially virtually organize all my images. I can create many more sorting options using Smart Collections than I can by putting images into a folder. This flies in the face of everything I've learned about storing data on a computer so I'm nervouse to head this direction because it starts with unorganizing my folders and removing all tags so I can start fresh.
I don't want to take this on only to learn I didn't think of a gotcha issue. One drawback is that you are now committed to find anything by using LR or tags only. What do you think?

Okay, then be honest. What would you do if you were me?....So - give me an honest recommendation on a go-forward path (no "coulda, woulda, shoulda's").
Honestly, I always start off from assessing what you really need or what value you could get from keywording. I wouldn't advise you to add keywords for their own sake.
Lee Jay wrote:
Meanwhile, I can already find all my images efficiently in seconds in nearly all cases. I estimate that there is about one situation per year where having a comprehensively keyworded image store would be helpful in saving me time - perhaps 15 minutes each time that happens.
Let's pretend that this isn't quite as black and white as you always put it. Let's say we're mainly talking weddings - typically wedding photographers add few keywords, if any. And let's say you do need to find certain images more often - each time you go to meet prospective clients you want to put on your iPad (you?) a portfolio of your best work for their broad type of wedding. So you might have categories like indoors / outdoors / subaqua, particular venues, age groups, religions through humanist, formal / weird. Let's assume you do judge it worthwhile to increase the number of keywords.
Lee Jay wrote:
I could start tagging images now as I collect them. But then I'd have all those other images that aren't tagged and all the new ones that are. That means using the smart-collection approach would mean all the new ones were in neat collections, and all the old ones were in a gigantic "untagged" collection with over 100,000 images in it.
Actually, that is the way I would advise you to go. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the possible. It's not at all uncommon that people are put off beginning doing some keywording by the scale of the complete task. But beginning with the images that you're currently working on isn't too much extra effort. Even if it turns out that you never eventually do go back and keyword the old stuff, in a year's time you'll have a whole year's worth tagged. While doing so you'll probably adopt ways to make keywording less of a chore. For example you might add metadata presets to slap on overall keywords for the typical shoot "Wedding, Ceremonies, Christian" and then one or more keyword sets if you can justify putting time into varying the keywords between images - eg Bride, Kids, Cake. I wouldn't waste any time building up a hierarchy (do if you want, or not if you don't).
I simply wouldn't worry about the 100,000 remaining untagged - they'll be easier to tackle once you're you've got the experience / benefits from keywording new stuff. I'd advise you to do it only as and when you need - it's too big a task to do anything else. Let's say you need your best shots of Jewish weddings and - as you're currently keeping a lot of metadata in your head - you know some are in that untagged mass. Find them through the folder system as you do now, whack on some keywords like "Wedding, Jewish, Non-orthodox". All those shots are of the bride - whack on "Bride" (maybe from a keyword set). Hey, she's got an obvious tattoo - let's just add that keyword just in case it'll be useful. And quickly move on. Whatever seems worthwhile.
Although scripting could help, where's the script? Worthwhile to write/adapt one yourself? Instead for folder names I'd just just smart collections to gather image - eg folder name contains "weddings" - and then slap on the keywords. Sure, there will be some duplication between the pseudo-metadata in the folder names and in keywords, but duplication happens with metadata. In fact, it'll be quicker to search by the keyword "Wedding" than search for images with the keyword "Wedding" and / or with the folder name containing "Wedding".
So that's how I'd advise you - start with the new work, and deal with the older stuff ad hoc.

I have a folder with 10 folders inside it, 8 of the folders will not function when I use "show view options".

I have a Folder with 10 Folders inside it, 8 of the Folders will not function when I use "show view options", they always default back the default. The "show view options" works on all my other Folders in my system, even on the first two of the Folder in question. How can I correct it? I have tried every thing I can think of, even deleting the Folders & reintalling them. For some strange reason the "show view options" only does not work on the last 8 Folders in the Folder in question.

Instead GarageBand recognize my keyboard and i can play normally, also, if it can help, those are the Audio and Midi Logic Preferences and the Controller Surfaces Setup with the keyboard connected :

How can I put folders within folders in alphabetical order in MAIL?

In Mail I have several folders covering my major areas of work. in each of these folders I may have 10 to 50 subfolders, which represent my clients.
All I ant to do is put these sub-folders in alphabetical order so I can locate them rapidly. Can I?

THANKS LANNY. THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS NO AUTOMATIC ALPHEBETICAL
Thanks, Lanny. I suppose this means there is no command I can use to put my folders in alphabetical order automatically.
I am dragging them now -- but with about 30 folders with 40 to 50 names in each ... this is a time consuming chore
that shouldn't be necessary. Apple should pay more attention to MAIL .... most of my Apple friends do not even use itl.

I placed a personal folder in the sidebar of the finder. It had NB folders inside. This sidebar folder accidentally got dragged and went "poof" into a cloud of smoke. I cannot find the folder or it's NB contents anywhere. Help years of work!

Hi,
I need your help Please, I fear I might have lost years worth of work.
I had created 3 personal folders In my Home folder.
I then created a new folder called "active folder" and dragged these 3 folders inside, removing them from the Home folder.
I then dragged my newly created folder "Active Folder" to the Sidebar of the finder.
When I had closed finder and reopened it - the "active Folder" folder was unable to open.
A friend tried to help- dragged "active folder" off the sidebar.. and it disappeared with a cloud effect.
I cant find that folder or its NB contents anywhere,
Please help me with some advice if you can.
Not using tiger or Lion.*

When you created that "active folder," where did you create it? And after you added it to the sidebar, what did you do with it? If the data is truly nowhere to be found on your system, even using EasyFind, then I suspect you mistakenly deleted it, thinking that you had copied it to the sidebar. That would explain why you later found that the "active folder" was unable to open from the sidebar. The sidebar is just another way to access the original item, and if you deleted the original item, it can't do its job.
Unfortunately, if this is what you did and you don't have any backups, you may be out of luck. I don't know what you mean by saying you "did the whole data recovery 1's and 0's," but if you haven't already done so, you should try some dedicated data recovery software, to see if those deleted files may still be on the drive. See Recovering deleted files.
Ultimately, this is not a flaw in the Mac system, it is a flaw in your use of it. I strongly recommend some reading to get up to speed:
