Restrictions messes up folder organization

This isn't so much a question as a warning.
I don't know if this is a problem with iOS6 but here's the deal.
I was checking out Restrictions on my iPhone last night in order to see if it would provide the sort of security I want for my daughter to use on my wife and my iPhones. It doesn't but that's a story for another day. Well after I went through all the settings and then playing with the phone to see what was still usable and what wasn't I turned off the restrictions altogether. Well low and behold every app that was disabled under Restrictions was now outside of the folders they were organzied in and taking up several screens. Well that sucked. That's not the end of it though. So I start putting everything back in their folders. I get about a quarter of the way through them and my iPhone restarts. Double suck. When it starts back up most of the apps I just reorganized are back out of the folders. Triple suck. Well despite the dozen restarts I eventually got everything back in their folders. Today I tried using navigation and Siri wasn't working. I had the old iPhone 4 voice control instead of Siri. Turns out Siri was still turned off despite turning off Restricitons. So I turned Siri back on and navigation was still broke. After several restarts and some waiting Navigation suddenly started working for no apparent reason. So it totally borked my phone. I'm currently in the process of a complete restore. Hopefully no more problems from here on out but I certainly will not be going near the Restrictions settings again any time soon.

I had this problem too!!! I was setting restrictions to prevent my daughter fr doing certain things on my phone. I did this a couple days ago actually. And then today, when i was trying to delete pictures from the photo stream, and then went back on, all my apps were outside of the folder. And many of my apps icons were not visible, yet, if i did a search on the app, then i could find it. Weird. So I'm doing a complete restore, but since synced before the restore, I'm pretty much restoring it to the way it was this morning (All jacked up). It's still working on restoring, so I'm just waiting. to see if this works.
I'm with you... I'm staying away from the Restrictions...

Itunes 7.2 folder organization messed up

After installing itunes 7.2 for windows, I noticed that my songs are being sorted not by Artist\Album, but by Album Artist\Album. Why is this? I never had this problem before.
example.
Song: Hora Staccato
Artist: Heifetz
Album: 1936 Recordings
Album Artist: Emmanuel Bay
This should always be stored as \itunes music\Heifetz\1936 Recordings.
But now, with itunes 7.2 it is stored as itunes music\Emmanuel Bay\1936 Recordings\
This is really counterintuitive. It should organize as it used to, by Main Artist, not Album artist. My folders are all messed up now.
Anyway to fix this? Or is this the way itunes 7.2 is just going to be? The last release of itunes also had problems with folder organization.

Actually I know exactlty what stradvcl is referring to, because I am running into the same problem. Thus my search in the forums.
Usually Ive had no problem in importing a song into iTunes, and changing the song IN iTunes to read as follows.
Name of Song: DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`
Artist: Anime
Album : Eureka seveN OST 1
Album artist: FLOW
And the Windown path would look like this
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Anime\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Notice It goes Artist>Album>Song Title
Album Artist would not even be part of the path, which is exactly what I want.
but now it shows
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\FLOW\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Which goes AlbumArtist>Album>Song Title. it doesn't even include the artist as part of the path. How annoying.
It makes a HUGE difference to me because I need everything in "iTunes Music" library in windows to be pathed as Artist>Album: Song Title. I use a different MP3 Player so, it's almost impossible to have half one way (those that have albumartist) and half another (those that don't) BTW, Sorry apple. . .no Offense. I've had and loved an iPod. . . but it died and I got this as a gift.
I never changed any settings, and quite honestly it's been about a month since I had to update my MP3 player music (thus noticing the problem). So, there HAS to be a reason for it to change. And more importantly, a way to change it back.
"it's just new" is not going to cut it. iTunes is special for its efficiency for sorting music and organizing it. There has to either be an option, or a fix. Anybody know what it is?

Syncing to new iTunes library without losing app folder organization?

I reinstalled the OS on my PC and after installing iTunes and pointing it at the iTunes folder on my second drive, it nevertheless lost my iTunes library. I was able to re-add all my content by adding the My Music folder to iTunes, but I lost my playlists. I was okay with recreating those, but...
When I chose to sync apps, iTunes said it would replace the apps on the phone with the ones from the libray. And all my folder organization work will be lost.
Is there any way to associate my iPhone 4 with the "new" library but maintain the folder organization I have?

A manual backup will help. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. This will save all settings, data, photos and much more to your computer. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After that, transfer our purchases the same way, choosing transfer purchases this time. All apps and purchased media fro the Store will be copied to the new iTunes library.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your PC to be able to merge calendars and contacts after the first sync, which will wipe your phone. But you can restore from the manual backup you made before.

Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?

Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization? I am a teacher and want to switch from using microsoft office on my macbook pro to using pages/number/keynote. I am hoping to get an iPad next year and go "paperless" with lesson plans and gradebooks and I heard that pages/numbers/keynote are great on the ipad. I'd like to write an automator script (workflow?) to convert all my documents in dropbox to pages and have them stored on iCloud, then be able to access the files on my macbook pro and ipad. Thanks!

Create an AppleID under different email addresses for each family member at http://appleid.apple.com
If they don't already have their own email address just setup a free one with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or whoever you prefer.
Then on each device sign into iMessage with the users own AppleID in:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Tap AppleID at top > Sign Out, then sign back in again with the correct AppleID.

ITunes Media folder organization on a network drive

I have a problem with a strange behaviour of iTunes media folder organization on my network drive.
Option "keep iTunes Media folder organized" is enabled.
If the Media folder is on a local drive or the Media folder is replaced by an alias pointing to a folder on an external drive it works correctly.
(Correctly means subfolders like "music" are generated by iTunes.)
But if the Media folder is an alias that points to a networkdrive directly (instead of pointing to a folder in that drive) iTunes does not create the subfolders anymore.
What is the reason for that behaviour, how can it be fixed?

Thanks for the feedback, but with the iPhone (I use the calendar feature a lot), synchronising just became a very common event, and perpetual re-connecting will drive me insane.
I guess I will just live with what we have until the folks at Apple figure it out;

Preserving folder organization (directory structure) when importing...

Hello. I've spent years meticulously organizing a growing collection of about 10,000 photos. There are many subfolders (nested up to 4 deep). I'd like to start using iPhoto while preserving this organization. The catch is, I do not have enough free space on my hard drive to duplicate all of them and would rather not have two copies of all of them even if I could.
So, my question is whether or not there is some way to import them all into iPhoto '09 without messing up the organization and without duplicating all of them.
On a related note: If I can do this, and I then shuffle a bunch of images around in the finder, will iPhoto be savvy enough to keep track of that, or will there just be broken links and missing images when I try to view them from within the application? Along the same lines, if I use an application that changes the names of batches of files, will this break iPhotos links to them?
Thanks so much for any insight folks can offer here.

To use Photoshop with iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
The real problems with running a referenced Library, as you propose, come when - at some point in the future - you move the files onto a new volume. Say your HD begins to fill and you need space. While iPhoto's aliases will track the pic as it moves around the disk, it gets lost once you change volume and you could easily find yourself reconnecting each alias for each individual photo.
However, there's a key choice you need to make. Do you want to organise your Files or your Photos. If you want to organise Files then by all means do. The point of iPhoto is to manage your photos without constant recourse to the files. Once you escape the file base to organIsing everything becomes much more flexible.
Are you worried about accessing your files?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

CRM: PFCG Roles restricted based on Sales Organization

Hi,
I have a requirement in SAP CRM 7.0 to create roles restricted based on Sales Organization(locations). We have two Sales Organization XXX and YYY, for which users need to be restricted. I have used the following objects for this regard.
CRM_ORD_OP, CRM_ORD_LP, CRM_ORD_PR, CRM_ORD_OE, CRM_BP_SA
Every user has assigned a sales role in which the above objects are deactivated and separate roles with values to the objects, with respective Sales Org values for the objects CRM_ORD_OE, CRM_BP_SA been provided. I have assigned these roles to respective users (User A with XXX, User B with YYY) based on their sales org locations. These users are positioned in the Organizational Model (PPOMA_CRM) under their respective Sales groups as per the requirement for the object CRM_ORD_LP, and authorization to this object is restricted to A for CHECK_LEV (Your Own Sales Organization). We use * for the objects CRM_ORD_OP and CRM_ORD_PR, as we do not control these.
After restricting all these, we do not find that the result not appearing as we expect, that is, restricting the sales organization data. We need all accounts, all activities, all opportunities, all leads, all campaigns etc. should be restricted by Sales Org, but when we search for accounts, activities, opportunities, leads, campaigns, we get result list with all data without any restrictions. I even checked the following forum, http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1579211, which talks about the same kind of issue, but as I have already using the same objects for the restriction, it didnt help me much. I tried deactivating object CRM_BP_SA as it is not discussed on the forum, also tried CHECK_LEV=A,B,C,D,E for object CRM_ORD_LP, but all results the same.
Additional Info: When tried to create a project, with user A who is authorized for XXX, normally it would pick up the Sales Area Data for the project from the user (meaning User A from the XXX Sales Org.), but I get an error message: Enter a sales org, enter a dist. channel and enter an org unit etc. Even when I search for leads, it displays a list of data, when I click on any, it issues the error message: Enter a sales org, enter a dist. channel and enter an org unit (Sales) etc
Is that we miss any object restriction that is not restricting these objects properly or is it any customization missing? Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shahul Hameed M
BASIS Consultant

Hi Shahul,
I have a similar requirement as of yours. I have maintained auth values, in role as below:
CRM_ORD_LP
03       ACTVT
A        CHECK_LEV
*         PR_TYPE
CRM_ORD_OE
03       ACTVT
11       DIS_CHANNE   ( the user is assigned to this dstrbtion channel in org structure)
          SALES_GROU
          SALES_OFFI
SO1   SALES_ORG
          SERVICE_OR   ( the user is assigned to this sales org in org structure)
And, when I try to display the LEADs in CRM UI ...I still get the display of LEADs belonging to all sales orgs.
And my trace record for CRM_ORD_LP is....
CHECK_LEV    ' blank '
PR_TYPE          LEAD
ACTVT               03
that means, it is not considering the auth value ' A ' for auth field CHECK_LEV
Could you please let me know ...how you have achieved this restriction . Is there anything , i m missing here?
Thank You

Multiple Libraries: DON'T MESS WITH MY ORGANIZATION!

Many music/audio fans are obsessive about how they organize their collections (see the movie/book "High Fidelity"), and I am one of them. I've spent HOURS organizing my iTunes Library, and I'm very protective about my genres.
About 50% of my iPod use is listening to audio books from Audible.com. I've always kept these books in a genre called Spoken Word, along with other spoken files (podcasts, etc.)
Low and behold, I install iTunes 7, and my Audible files are gone. I try to re-import them, and noting happens. I spend a couple of hours searching around online but turn up no info.
Finally, I notice that iTunes 7 has created a new Library called "Audiobooks" and moved all my Audible titles into it.
Well, I'm relieved that they aren't gone, but I'm still really ****** off. I don't want two Libraries. I want my titles to be organized the way I organized them. Why is Apple pushing their organization on me?
And, as-far-as I can tell, there's no way of changing this. If iTunes is going to create multiple Libraries, I should be able to drag titles from one to the other. Or I should be able to right-click a title, choose Info, and be able to switch Libraries, just as I can switch genres.
Now some of my spoken content (Audible) is in one Library and some (non-audible) is in another. I HATE that.
Worse, there no way (unless I'm missing something) to search all Libraries. For instance, I listen to "The Ricky Gervais Show." Some I downloaded from Audible and some I got from elsewhere. If I search for Gervais, I only get the items in the currently-selected Library.
This makes me really scared to install future updates. I don't want iTunes to mess with my organization any more. I have thousands of files, and I want to be able to fine them easily.
DON'T MESS WITH MY LIBRARY, APPLE!
5G 60Gig Windows XP Pro

Yes, that's what is showing as "modified time" by windows explorer.
In a sense, it is indeed operating system dependent because everytime you write in a file (.doc, .exe, .whatever and in our case .jpeg), the modified date will change in windows.
Yes, But.
In other applications, such as Irfanview, you can tick "apply original exif time/date" and as a result, even though you have indeed changed the file, windows explorer will still show the original date, meaning when the file was taken.
I am looking for a similar option in Lightroom or a trick to get that result.

CD imported to wrong folder organization Album/Artist instead of Artist/Alb

I imported (ripped) a CD and the folder convention iTunes created in my music library was like this:
AlbumName/ArtistName
instead of
ArtistName/AlbumName
How could this happen. I have ripped hundreds of CD's and this is the first time it has happened. I am letting iTuned organize my files.
Any clues?
Thanks!

ITunes Music Folder organization

Hey. I have all my albums stored in a My Music folder, some are labelled fully (Artist - Album) as the folder name, while others are simply the artist, the album or what have you. As I load new albums onto my computer, I just do a manual "add folder to iTunes" each time. I checked both Keep ITunes Music Folder Organized and Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder when Adding, and it prompts me to copy all the files over. I've tried this a few times, using My Music as the folder, and other locations, but it only ever copies like, ten of my three-hundred odd albums.. I want it to copy ALL my music and organize it accordingly, but it won't.. What gives?

Hi Jen, welcome to discussions
iTunes always manages the music folder in that way (\[artistname]\[albumname]\[title]).
To keep it from splitting up your albums with several different artist, check "part of a compilation" in the info tab (right-click->get info). Now those albums will appear in one folder (\compilations\[albumname]\[title])

ITunes Music Folder Organization Inproperly

After I imported music of the album "Wings Of Song", by James Galway, from my removable hard disk to "iTunes Music Folder" and had iTunes organized it, I discovered something that's a little bit wierd. All the music I just imported is put under the folder Compilation\Wings of Song. This means that when iTunes organizing the music folder, it unexpectedly "thought" all these music are by the artist Compilation. What is the reason? Could anyone tell me why? Thank you!

The Compilation directory is how iTunes organizes albums that Gracenote (CDDB) considers works of various artists or collections of songs from the same artist, but differing albums (like "Best Of's" or "Greatest Hits").
The CDDB is not always consistent, as some Greatest Hits are marked as compilations and others are not. This really irked me in the beginning as I was wondering why some of my albums went missing. At first I tried to manually reorganize and move the files, but it was cumbersome. I stumbled on the "Compilations" function and it made things much easier.
For instance, if you have a Greatest Hits album of U2 sitting in the Compilations directory and would rather have it under the U2 directory (where I feel it better belongs), you would perform the process outlined below and the album and songs would move to its "improved" location.
That's why you have folders in your Compilations directory. Some you may wish to keep there, some you may want to move to a more appropriate place. This is how. Try moving some of them to their Artist's folder (if you have any that would qualify).
First check your Preferences:
-- Advanced/General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized (on)
-- Advanced/General: Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library (off) - change it back to 'on' after the song switch, if you want
To move an Album from the Compilations folder after it was imported from a CD (or otherwheres):
-- Highlight the collection of songs on that CD within the main Library
-- Right-click, 'Get Info'
-- Remove the 'Part of Compilation' check-mark - turn it to 'no'
-- Click 'OK'
iTunes will reorganize your PC folder structure, moving the songs from the Compilation folder to their Artist folder.
To defeat a Compilation designation prior to ripping the tracks from a CD, go to 'Get Info' on the CD and make sure that the 'Part of Compilation' box is not checked. This will keep the album under its designated Artist folder.
This is how I keep my music organized. I only want 'true' compilations under the Compilations folder, not some of the Artist's 'Greatest Hits'. You may have other desires.

How to repair messed-up folder ownership in Time Machine ?

Hi everyone,
I just reformated the MacBook hard drive using Extended HFS+, journaled partition to get rid of the case-sensitiveness, which is incompatible with just ONE of my softwares. As such, TM partition is formatted as Extended HFS+, journaled and case-sensitive.
I then created a temporary administrator to set everything up (Updates and such), then a second administrator (which is the one I'm using everyday). I didn't activate Time Machine backups, as I wanted to restore everything first, just in case something may go wrong.
As this is my primary work machine, I wanted to restore the "Documents" subfolder first, but Time Machine popped out a dialog saying that I wouldn't be able to see the files newly restored, because I don't have permissions to read and write them.
Indeed, I checked directly in the Time Machine tree on the external hard drive with Apple+I keys, and 'cubytus' was not listed in the permissions.
As far as I remember, I checked ownership in the Terminal, and wanted to change it using the commands:
sudo su -
[----Now I type my identifiers, and I'm in root mode; I then navigate to the Documents folder in the Time Machine tree I want to restore.---]
chown -Rv cubytus Documents
The last line is supposed to change every document ownership below this directory to replace it by cubytus instead of Admin2, as well as report every operation performed (I like having some feedback).
Turns out that every verbose line ends in "Permisison denied"....
I can add up the current admin in addition to the original one for each document, but it's very impractical since I have thousands of small files. Changing ownership is still the way to go.
Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for help
Oh, btw..I tried the Disk Utility pemrission repair thing, but it didn't found any problem on the Time Machine partition.

This mis-match is likely to cause trouble in the future. If you have, for example, two files named "FileA" and "filea" in the same folder on the TM drive, and try to restore them to your case-ignorant HD, TM is going to have a problem. I've never tried it, so I can't tell you whether it will overlay the first one it restores with the second, or crash, or what, but it can't be done.
And you may have some of these without realizing it -- if you ever changed a capital to lower-case, or vice-versa, after a file's initial backup, it's a possibility.
Indeed, I checked directly in the Time Machine tree on the external hard drive with Apple+I keys, and 'cubytus' was not listed in the permissions.
No, TM automatically denies everything to everybody, among other things, in it's backups, to keep us mere mortals from messing with them. The original file permissions are kept separately, and TM should restore them along with the files, as they were.
What you're probably seeing is, the user that you're signed-on as won't have those permissions, once TM restores the files. I'd suggest trying the same procedure as your other, or original user -- see if you get the same message.

How to set restriction on shared folder to copy or move images and videos

Hi,
I am using windows server 2008 for file sharing, it's simple folder sharing and there is no additional roles added and not promoted as file server.
Users have permissions to access folder and they can put data on shared folder but I want to restrict user that they can not copy any images and video on it.
Need urgent help to stop copying images and videos on shared folder.

If you need to restrict only certain types of files, then file screening is what you need. Windows Server 2012 R2 comes with a powershell module for FSRM, so you can script configuration of file screening.
The code will look like the following (this is only an example):
New-FsrmFileGroup -Name "Images and Videos" –IncludePattern @("*.jpg", "*.mpg", "*.avi", "*.tif", "*.mp4", "*.mov")
$Notification = New-FsrmAction -Type Email -MailTo "[Admin Email];[File Owner]" -Subject “Warning: attempted to create a video or image file” -Body “You attempted to create a video or image file on a share that does not allow storage of this type of files.” -RunLimitInterval 120
New-FsrmFileScreen -Path "C:\Shares\FileShare1" –IncludeGroup "Images and Videos" -Notification $Notification -Active

Capture time and folder organization question

hi there,
i just imported a a ton of photos to lightroom this past weekend. a number of photos are dated incorrectly. i changed the dates with "edit capture time." now, i want the files to be resorted into appropriate dated folders. does lightroom do this or do i have to manually move the images from a folder labeled with the old date to a folder labeled with the new date?
also, when i organize by capture time, the photos in library are still not in chronological order by capture time. i am using lightroom 2 on mac.
thanks!

There'll be one top folder, but LR wants to organize by date as you import, which is just right for most, and I am not suggesting eschewing this. Just on a mass of older images, etc., I personally wouldn't bother sorting them by date/folder unless you have a compelling reason, such as one's boss saying "that's how WE do it here...."
I am a bit of a renegade, perhaps, in that I never use camera generated names/numbers*, and usually name the images after I've culled and edited, and (shudder) change the name of the folder from date to event or location. There are brilliant folk who'll say this is wrong, but it works for me. Nicely!
* If you're backing up at the same time as Import, you're pretty much stuck with the camera numbers, afaik.

New iTunes 9 folder organization left many files untouched

So I ran the new iTunes 9 "organize library" command. And it created folders labels "Podcasts", "Movies", "Music", "Audiobooks", etc. And it moved and sorted most of my 220GB of files into the correct folders.
But it also left about 250 folders of music completely untouched. Why didn't it put them into the correct media folder?

Oh, I think I just figured it out. I tried importing the songs that were left behind (e.g., the stragglers that weren't filed into the iTunes Media Organization folders) and they didn't import. Instead, iTunes put them into a "Not Imported" folder. When I tried to play them, they wouldn't play. So I guess they are corrupt files or otherwise unplayable. Makes sense that iTunes wouldn't import them into the iTunes Media Organization scheme.
