Steam just created a new folder in home and seemed to remove all games

I just logged into Steam, first strange thing, it asked me again for a code verification (like new computer, which this is not)
then, I go in to see the games, and all of them are removed.
The old folder seems to be there ~/.steam I don't know if I can copy in the games
any idea how to fix this that doesn't need to download all my games again??

Same thing happened to me, a few days ago.
I though steam had changed its directory from .local/share/Steam to ~/Steam, so I removed everything from both locations (plus the .steam and two symlink on home dir), ran steam and downloaded all the games, (steam defaulted to .local/share/Steam again...)
And the next day, same thing happened!
Removed every trace of Steam again, reinstalled again, downloaded all the games, closed steam, and this time I made a symlink (ln -s ./local/share/Steam), been working fine since then

I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go

I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go. This is my first I Phone and don't know if this is normal for this phone

Hi Flex,
Congrats on the first iPhone. This is not normal. First check if moving the volume up or down either way has any impact on the sound. Then see what happens while on speakerphone. If you can hear ok on speakerphone, and there's no change from the regular earpiece with the volume changing, check with the carrier you received it from or the Apple store you purchased from. They will have other things to look at for you.

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

I just bought a new iPod touch 5g and the buttons are all loose and it charges to 100% in like 45 mins.

All the buttons work and stuff; however the volume and sleep/wake buttons don't click or feel tight enough to be new. The home button works fine though, but is loose. I have compared it to my friends and all theirs are tight and work fine. I bought my ipod at best buy. Im not sure they will replace it seeing as how I didn't buy insurance for it. Would the apple store replace it? ALL the buttons work, BUT are not tight. Also the battery charges way too fast (45 min). What should I do. Will it be okay? Help please.

Based on posts here, the loose buttons seem to be normal. Also, other users have report similar "fast" charging. That usually resolve after a number of charge/discharge cycles.
If y are concerned, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How do I create a new folder in photos and move selected photos to it?, How do I create a new folder in photos and move selected photos to it?

Help!

You can't create new folders directly the Photos app at this time. It is supposed to be a new feature in iOS 5. You either need to create the folders in the main folder from which you sync your photos in iTunes and sync again, or you can download third party apps that allow you to sort photos on the iPad. You can look at Photo Sort for this function in the App Store.

Just got my new iPhone 3G home and iTunes won't recognize it

My phone was activated at the Apple Store. I was even using as soon as I got out of the store (for email and such). It won't show up in iTunes. In fact, when it's connected to my Macbook, it doesn't even show it's charging. There's nothing wrong with the USB ports - I've got my old iPod connected right now, and it's showing up just fine in iTunes. My phone gives the charging message only when it's plugged into the USB adapter into an electrical outlet. I've everything the troubleshooting document says - except for uninstalling iTunes. Both my iTunes and computer are fully updated. I checked just to make sure.
Any ideas? Phone works fine (well, haven't tried to make a phone call) - it just won't show as charging when connected to Macbook or show in iTunes.
Any ideas? This is a little disappointing.

No, iPod is not connected when iPhone is connected to computer. I plugged iPod in later to check USB ports.
ETA: This is very odd...I decided to try the cable for my 2nd gen Nano with the iPhone - and I'll be darned! The iPhone now works just fine with iTunes! Synching now...Guess I'll have to go back into the Apple Store tomorrow to get a replacement for the cord that came with my iPhone!

I can't get the new Maverick OS I downloaded to work with iTunes. I am trying to copy some songs onto an SD card and it won't let me create a new folder or click and drag the tunes onto a folder or into the current SD card. What am I doing wrong?

I can't get the files to drag onto a file or onto the SD card. What should I do?

Did you accidentally engage the lock slider on the side of the card? What exact error messages are you seeing?

Creating a new folder in bookmarks

I want to create a NEW folder in bookmarks and THEN add bookmarked pages to that folder.
I've actually searched support for a specific solution or instructions and found none. Currently, I can not find any instructions or options for creating a folder. I don't want to just bookmark the current page I am on. I want to create a folder based on topic and then, later, add bookmarks to that folder when a particular page is related to that topic.
How?

Note that you can also create a new folder via the Organize button in the Library window.<br />
The Organize is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Organize, Views, Import and Backup).

HT2488 I imported pictures into iPhoto from my iPhone, when trying to find my pictures by clicking on iPhoto Library it is always empty. I had to create a new folder and copy the same exact pics in the new folder just to be able to access them.. help plea

I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: 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.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. 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 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Can't create new folder in home folder when saving files

In gnome, when I want to save any file in my home folder, and I want to create a new folder in my own home. The new folder appeares for several minutes and then disappears.
If I create new folder in other directory. There is no such problem.
Also I can create new folder in my own home directory in nautilus or by mkdir.
any one can help me.....
Thanks very much....

I think either way should work OK - it's less of a security risk to use a standard account for "everything", including web browsing, but I confess I don't myself do this. You would again have to authenticate with an admin username/password if you do download and install from the standard account.
Whichever way you do it, this article may be relevant:
*About file quarantine in Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3662
It includes the following:
If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, the user account that downloaded the file is the only user account that can remove the quarantine attribute to the file. All other user accounts can open the quarantine file, but they will be presented with the quarantine dialog box asking "Are you sure you want to open it?" every time they open the file.

Lightroom just created a new 2014 folder to receive images from 2014, but I already have a 2014 folder which has received all my previous images. How do I get the system to keep using the original 2014 folder?

How do I route newly created images into my existing folder for 2014? Why did the system create a new folder which seems to be snatching all my new images?

Well, something is not making sense here, and I might have to spend some time thinking about it, or hopefully someone else will know exactly what the issue is.
The first screen capture you provided shows the Lightroom Folder Panel, with folders on the C: drive named 2012, 2013 and 2014 and then the problem second 2014 folder, followed by many folders whose name begins with "My Canon".
The most recent screen capture you provided shows the C: drive problem 2014 folder, but none of those other folders!
Can you show us a screen capture of your Windows Explorer C: drive folders? Particularly, can you expand the folder structure so that it shows where the 2012 and 2013 and original 2014 folders and the problem 2014 folder are located? If that takes 2 or more screen captures, that's fine. ALso, if you can show the "My Canon" folders, please do.

Installed a new update of iTunes and it created a new folder

Hi,
I lost a hard drive last month and had to purchase a new one. I copied my actual music files to a similar directory format that they were in before (\Music\iTunesMusic\ and under that, the artists and the songs.
I then installed the most recent version of iTunes and it asked where my music was and I told it. It then created a new directory called \Music\iTunes\iTunesMedia\Music where all new downloads now appear. I now have music in two locations (just a few in the new folder, but all of my apps were moved there from my iPod touch and all of my old music in the old folder) and two libraries in two locations (the old one in \Music and the new one in \Music\iTunes and I would like my music to be in one location and managed by one library and I'll delete the library that isn't being used (I don't really care which location). My question is: If I just copy the large folder of music to the newly created location, how do I get it recognized in iTunes and then which library is the correct one so I can delete the other? Is there a better way to manage this so all files are under one location?
Also, I was using Home Sharing on the computer in the other room. How do I change that computer to point to the new location?
Thanks in advance,
Gwen

Oh ok...try using a third party program such as YamiPod or CopyPod, both free and will let you rip your iPod onto your iTunes.
Or do it this way: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Sorry, I am getting tired and easily confused. Time to call it a night.
Good Luck,

Syncronising is creating a new folder in Outlook w...

I have just got a N70 phone and syncronised fine a few times with Microsoft Outlook. All of a sudden i realised that when i syncronised again the phone created a new folder in Microsoft Outlook which I cannot access and cannot delete. As it is called the same as my actual calendar when I go to syncronise again the syn gets confused and doen't do it, getting error report in PC Suite. I tried posinting it to the right folder but it still gets confused!
I spent a few hours with a very nice person who handles my email accounts to create a new mail account to get rid of the new folder. As soon as we finally managed to get rid of these corrupt folders I syncrnised and they appered in the new account again!
Really not sure what to do now!

I forgot to mention that I downloaded the latest version of PC Suite off your website and that the connection is via USB Cable
