Strange arrow showing on sub-folders after moving from the main one

I put all my desktop located files into ONE folder.
Then I needed quicker access to some of the folders so I moved them back to my desktop.
Now they all have a little arrow in the bottom left corner.
Why is this?
Is it important?
When I put them into the one main folder they retain the little arrow which is different to the triangle that allows access to the folder contents in list view though seems to have the same function once in the main folder. They don't have that triangle any more.
it is a curly arrow rather than a little triangle.
If there was a way to upload screen shots I am sure you would understand properly what I am trying to say.
At first this used to be on just one sub folder now it is on many of them.
Thanks for any insight on this

Anything with a curly arrow in the lower-left corner of its icon is an "alias" that points to the original. If you do Finder File -> Get Info you can see that the "Kind" of such an item is "Alias".
You can create an alias in the Finder by holding down the command and option keys when you drag a file, by using the menu option File -> Make Alias, or by choosing "Make Alias" from the "contextual menu" that results when you click on an item while holding down the control key.

  • Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
    Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
    Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
    Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
    How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
    A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

  • Do we need to invite our machines to the Team Cloud subscription after upgrading from the reg. one?

    We upgraded from regular Cloud subscription to the Team subscription...do we need to do anything or just keep on using the programs as usual?  I keep getting emails from Adobe warning me that my subscription has been cancelled and will be running out at the end of the month.  I don't want things to suddenly stop working when I am now paying for the TEAM membership.
    I went to the Adobe site and logged in to our account and in the Team Console it had two blank spots where you can invite people to be part of the Team.  I gave the Team member emails to the person at Adobe that I originally spoke to about Team and they said they would take care of everything.  Although I now don't believe them.  What needs to be done?
    Thanks

  • My playlist didn't show up on new laptop after copying from the old laptop

    What can I do when my playlists didn't show up on new laptop after copying from the old one?

    I just simply copy only the whole iTunes music folder to my external hard drive, that's it and it goes good. That way if you just copy the whole iTunes folder it also carries along with it all it's subfolders. If subfolders aren't carried over you may end up with a library with missing album arwork. Album artwork, iTunes media folder, itunes previous libraries, itunes XML folders etc., etc. You get the picture.
    Yes.
    This is much better way than changing the media folder location.
    Keep everything in the same iTunes folder.
    However, when I do it this simple way as compared to the Apple way it doesn't save my play counts or ratings.
    Since it is exactly the same library, everything should be the same.
    Then just go to external drive click on iTunes folder and then in iTunes add folder to library and all your songs load up. This isn't moving the library but just backing it up.
    You don't need to add anything.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
    You can delete then /Music/iTunes/ folder as this same folder was copied to the external and this is now your iTunes library.
    You can also do this top make a backup of the iTunes library (thoug you should be making a backup (Time Machine or some other backup program) of yoru entire computer.

  • Missing folders after import from computer.

    After importing a large folder containing about 20 subfolders, at least half of the sub folders are missing from the listing on the left side.  The files in these missing folders are in LR but grayed out so I can not make a new folder and move them into it.  What can I do to have all subfolders listed?

    You can't import photos that are greyed out. The reason they are greyed out is that they have been previously imported into Lightroom. So ...
    Go to the main Grid in the Library Module, click on All Photographs in the catalog panel, find one of these photos and then right-click on it and select Go to Folder in Library; this will tell you where to find the photo in your Lightroom Folder panel.

  • Problems with executing customized Run-Time menu from a sub-vi imported from the main vi.

    I am having trouble executing Run-Time menu from the sub-vi.
    Currently my main vi program, which is the first thing that I open up to acquire data from different sources (i.e. dll’s, scanners etc.) opens up a number of sub-vi’s.
    I have created several sub-vi’s, which are opened from the main vi’s customized Run-Time menu that I have created (i.e. dsp file). I am using the open panel.vi to open other sub-vi’s. I don’t have any problems opening any number of sub-vi’s through the main vi’s menu.
    I would also like to have the option to open other sub-vi’s from any sub-vi’s menu. I succeeded in exporting the Run-Time m
    enu from the main vi to the sub-vi using the property node properties however nothing happens (I hear a beeping sound) when I click on the sub-vi’s menu. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I would really appreciate it if someone can attach a sample code using Run-Time menus on sub-vi’s imported from the main vi.
    Thanks
    Nish

    I don't actually have any VIs like this. It might be easier to take the menu and just add it to the VI during development. Then it will always be there. It might be easier than doing this with Property Nodes.

  • After updating my iphone 5 of ios 7, I delete or trash my emails rorm my inbox and they pop back up in my inbox.  How do I fix this?  They are deleted from the main server but show up in my email on my phone and will not stay deleted.

    I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 7 and since doing this, i cannot get my email messages to stay deleted when I trash them.  They have been deleted from the main mail server but show up on my phone.  When I trash them, they disappear for a few seconds and then re-appear in the inbox. I tried deleted my mail account from my phone and re-adding it, but this worked for about 12 hours and now its doing it again. I also have shut my phone off and rebooted it but this did not work.  How do I fix this?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

    Seems that it also happened due to updating weblogic version. Could you please advice me how to fix this issue?

  • I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree.  The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

    I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree.  The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

    A couple of suggestions that may help:
    - Make sure you've made the left-hand column as wide as possible by grabbing the divider between the column and the Library grid view.
    - You can hide a parent folder from the display by right-clicking it and selecting Hide This Parent. This will shift all the child folders to the left.

  • When will sub-folders be allowed in the assets folder?

    I think it is critical that sub-folders be allowed in the assets folder. Until then it will be very difficult to organize the content of larger websites. The lack of this feature automatically eliminates Muse from consideration in the development of more complex sites.

    re: I did try creating a new "Sent" folder locally, and that didn't work
    If you logged onto webmail for that email address, there will be a sent folder.
    Maybe it is called 'Sent Items' or similar.
    This is the folder and account which you selected here:
    Tools > Account Settings > Copies & folders for the mail account Select: 'Place a copy in' Select 'Other' Select the 'Sent' or maybe the folder on the server is called 'Sent Items' for the mail account. click on OK
    You need to subscribe to see the 'Sent' or 'Sent Items' Folder on the server.
    have you subscribed to see this folder?
    Is this a gmail account?

    After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Your address book should have migrated along with your move. If it hasn't go to groups, in "on my mac" group select all the contacts that appear on the right-hand side and drag them to your "iCloud" group.
    Once you have done this you can then delete the contacts from your "on my mac" group.
