Saving notes on a folder.

Still new to Imac,I wish to save some notes that I have typed on text edit (as I did not find a notepad or Word page like we do on PCs).I want to save it on a new folder that I managed to open in the Documents folder.I am not able to drag & drop the text file onto the New folder.How do I go about?

Hi, Ministrel -
First 'Save" the TextEdit file. Doing so will present a screen in which you can name the doument, and place it wherever you choose. For my convenience I usually save new documents (files) to the Desktop.
Then drag the file from where it was saved to into that folder.
If you have tried that, and are getting a 'you can't do that type of message when you try to drop it into the folder, please give us the exact text of the message.

My outgoing messages are not being saved in my sent folder

Half of my message that I try to send are not being saved in my sent folder. This is a huge problem causing lost documentation and copies of information and conversations I have had. The error message I get says that thunderbird was unable to save to my sent folder and asks if I would like to try again. If I say yes I get the same message over and over again until I give up and let the message be lost to cyberspace. What can I do to fix this issue and stop loosing valuable information for work?
I am using an HP laptop running windows 8.

What protocol is your email account using (POP or IMAP)?
If POP, you need to make sure your local disk space is enough to save the sent messages. Check where the copies are located by looking at the account settings under '''Copies & Folders'''. When using POP, I believe a copy needs to be saved on both sides: local and server.
If IMAP, the email server is where such copies are saved. You can also double-check such settings as mentioned above.
Finally, if your emails are too big, this may be a restriction of your email provider, perhaps get in touch with their support and inquire about this to rule it out as the cause of the problem. Could you share more details about the kind of emails that fail to have a local copy saved or is it for each and every email?

I can't find a folder I created in photoshop while saving I pressed new folder. can anyone help? I have used the finder option, and it's not pulling it up!

I can't find a folder I made in photoshop while saving, i pressed new folder button, named it and saved several photos to it. It was easy in the begining while it was a recent folder. I could always find it as a recent folder. Now that it's not, I don't know where it is. And finder won't pull it up. Can anyone suggest a magic fix?

In the Finder (with a window open shown), type all or part of the folderName or the new fileName(s) as illustrated in EITHER field

Saving PDF to last folder

I have Adobe Reader X 10.0.0, PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I have been saving PDF's for years, and each time I save, it goes to the last folder I saved to? The other day, I had approximately 15 PDF's that had been scanned to me, and after I had saved 5 of these documents normally, it then started going straight to a temporary folder, and has done ever since, which means I have to go through all the folders to get the one I desire? I have spoken to our I.T. department and they believe its a problem with PDF and not with our system, and I believe otherwise. I can use Recent Places, but when you have done the same thing for years, and the amount I do, change is not always good
Has anyone encountered the same problem, and can help?

Hi Kat,
This is a bit geeky, but the signature appearance that you see on the page is not the signature, but just a graphical representation of the actual signature. The actual signature is a blob of hex encoded data in the PDF file that you don't really see. That aside...
When you create a digital signature the first thing Acrobat/Reader will ask you to do is select a digital ID to sign with. Acrobat then reads the digital ID and amasses some information to use to create the signature appearance. It then fills in the form field (a signature field is just a special use form field) with the appearance, BUT the signature still hasn't been created. The next thing Acrobat does is asks you to Save the file to disk. This is more geekiness, but it much safer to compute the signature byte range on disk then it is in memory. The simple explanation is it's harder for the bad guys to manipulate the bytes on disk then it is for them to control the bytes in memory and because a digital signature provides document security we err on the safe side and require the file to be written to disk before the signature is created. The other safety item is, we want to sign the signature appearance so that someone can't come along later and modify the appearance without breaking the signature, so it (the appearance) has to be created before the signature proper is created.
So at this point you've seen the signature appearance and thought that the signature has been created, but it hasn't. When you try to save to the network folder something is preventing Acrobat from saving the file and what ends up happening is the file is rolled back to the pre-signature state and the signature appearance is removed. The file is in essence untouched.
All of that aside (which is probably more than you really wanted to know) the real question is why can't the file be saved to the network folder. This isn't really a digital signature issue, but rather a network permissions issue.

Authenication needed when moving or saving files to a folder

I've been online searching but can't find a resolution to disabling having to authenticate when moving or saving files to any folder.
I read something about using Terminal and tried the suggestion which was typing in
sudo chawn -R yourshortname . Then putting in my password when prompted. It either will not type my password or not accept it.
Can anyone help? Thanks

You can't disable or correct it with that command. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1216618 for more information.

HT4191 I lost all my notes after the latest Notes app was automatically updated on my Mac Book Pro. How do I get my saved notes back??????

When I upgraded to OS X 10.9.1 Everything got synced in very well. But a few days later when automatic apdates were completed, all my saved notes were erased(very important personal information and passwords). I couldn't restore them back. I can you (Apple Inc) help me with this problem that you've cuased???? I love your products but I hate it when you loose my information. VERY UNHAPPY.

the terminal command you enter is
cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes; strings NotesV1.storedata | grep body | open -f
terminal is in the applications folder under utility

With Netscape all of the Webcam shots from live feeds were automatically saved in my cache folder and I could simply open my cache send the saved files into AcDsee and convert them into jpgs, It would save as many as I would allow space for. With firefox

I cant retrieve my images from webcams that are cached any more with mozilla. With netscape all of the live webcam images from live cams were automatically saved in my cache folder and all i had to do was open it send the files to acdsee and turn them into jpgs. It would save them untill the Cache ran out of room no matter how many files or sites I had running. Mozilla seems to save what it wants when it wants and often dose not save any that I can retrieve because I believe it is bulking them into Cache 123 or 4 and those i cant open to retrieve the files. Sometimes it saves 100 or so and sometimes 2 or 3 sometimes 10 or more but i don't seem to have any control over what it does or does not save to retrieve no matter how much space i allow for the cache to save.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I finally gave up trying to keep netscape due to all the ridiculess popups and continued reminders from you saying i had to switch over

You have or had an extension installed (Ant.com Toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.3 to Firefox/3.0.12.
You can see the Firefox version at the top and the user agent at bottom of the "Help > About" window (Mac: Firefox > About Mozilla Firefox).
You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.
You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: '''general.useragent'''
If ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

Folder created, yet new bookmarks are not shown the folder as available

I created a folder which has several bookmarks in it. However, new bookmarks are not given this folder as an option for saving.

One possibility is that you are having problems with the bookmarks database getting corrupted.
I suggest as a precaution you immediately do a manual backup of your bookmarks and keep them somewhere safe outside the firefox profile or program paths, such as on the Windows desktop.
* see [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
Have you created the folders within the folder unsorted bookmarks ? if so they will be at the bottom of a long list, look there first of all (note the very small scroll arrow-heads / triangles on the main dropdown list) ; if you do not find them then have a look at

Over / Down Icons not in exported folder

Over / Down Icons not in exported folder.
I've created some action buttons, and when a user hovers over it turns blue, and when they click it turns red. The png files I used for this I put into a folder called "IMG" (configuratorname.assets/IMG/blue-50-26.png). This folder is located in the .assets directory that configurator created when I saved the .gpc file. When I export the panel, the custom png files (red & blue) aren't exported into the content folder. How do I get it to export the custom icon png files ? Also, do I have to use a custom path in the the Over Icon and Down Icon fields. Here is what is in there now "Locales/IMG/blue-50-26.png", I think somewhere I read that I need to use a ".." at the beginning so it's a relative reference, not absolute ? My goal is for this panel to work on various machines, and all the needed componets are locally resident and pointed to within the content folder.
Thanks ahead of time for your help.
One last question, should the png file that I'm using as a custom color for the buttons when clicked be the exact dimension of the button, or will it scale the png file ?

In your case, the png files will not be export to content folder, these files will be exported to content/Configurator-Panel.assets/IMG/.
You can not use ".." to set the path of icon pictures. The root directory for icon picture is configuratorname.assets/. The value for icon picture path are relative to this root directory. After exporting, the pictures will be exported to content/configuratorname.assets/.
The png file be scale to fill the dimension of the button. We strongly suggest that you set the png file and the button in same size. If the size of png file is lager, it should be in same ratio with the size of the button.

I would like to download / backup my entire iPhoto library, but want to do so in a manner where each event is saved as a distinct folder. Can someone please advise if / how this is possible?

I would like to download / backup my entire iPhoto library, but want to do so in a manner where each event is saved as a distinct folder. Can someone please advise if / how this is possible?

See Terence Devlin's User Tip on exporting from iPhoto:
Exporting From iPhoto https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
To write events to separate folders, use "File > Export" and select the subfolder format "Event Name". But that will only backup the photos and not your iPhoto library and all the work you invested in organising it. For backing up, see: iPhoto and File Management

Multiplexing Error when Saving to VIDEO-TS folder.

I used idvd-08 for the first time last night and I had a problem.
I saved my project to a VIDEO_TS folder. Everything seemed to work fine but at the end I got an error message saying that a Multiplexing error had happened during the burn.
When I tried to open the file using my DVD app it tells me that the media type is not supported.
The input file was created in FCE 3.5HD.
This is the first time that I have used idvd-08. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Steve.

How much free space on your start-up HD?
This is from iDVD '08 Help:
+Saving as VIDEO_TS folder: Saving a project as a VIDEO_TS folder allows you to play it back, on your computer, using software such as VLC media player. Saving as a VIDEO_TS folder is similar to saving as a disc image: the output quality is the same, and both methods take about the same amount of time to complete. *You can’t burn a disc from a VIDEO_TS folder.*+
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

When I try to download mozilla it says "can not create temp folder archive"

I click 'run' and after it is done loading a window pops up saying 'can not create temp folder archive' So basically it won't let me download mozilla. What do I do to fix this?

Interesting. I tried one more time - instead of saving it to my hard drive, I ran it directly off the Mozilla site and it installed....
Something is definitely wrong with the Mozilla "save as" and THEN run process....

How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

Who is the email account provider?
With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.
