Strange slowness in creating new folders.

I have not noticed any troubles with my mac in general. But for some reason when I go into a certain folder in my documents and create a new subfolder I get a spinning ball and it takes about a mintue (no joke) for the ball to stop so I can name it. This is crazy. Why is this folder getting so hung up? This is an folder for a website which requires several folders, what a pain. This mostly happens in the folder view, but also gets frozen on column view. Thanks for any help.

You can accomplish this by creating a new mailbox ( *plus sign* in the bottom left corner of the main window). I think this should say folder, but I didn't make this choice. It acts like a folder. Just click and drag emails from your inbox to these other mailboxes you created. The "On My Mac" just refers to where the emails get stored (/Users/yourshortname/Library/Mail)

Edit: the funny thing is the icon for the new mailboxes is a folder, go figure.

  • Creating new folders in Mail

    Greetings..
    How does one create new folders under the inbox for organizing purposes? I was expecting to be able to create a "new folder" within any other folder, but all I can find is smart folders, and some other strange option which results in this new folder under the heading "On My Mac"...strange...what's this "On My Mac" all about? Why can't I just create a new folder under my inbox, and organize the way I see fit? This is really odd..

  • How to create new folders on iCloud Drive from iOS or with document picker?

    Recently I wanted to share several files from my iWorks suite with my colleagues. I do not want them to edit these files, instead I made templates in Numbers for easier management of hours worked. Everyone could download their copy and keep a track of their hours themselves. The problem is, not everyone has an Apple product.
    Unfortunately, iOS does not support native browsing of iCloud Drive (except the document picker, which, to me, isn't helpful at all), the only way I know of - to create a new folder - is to open iCloud.com in Safari, request the desktop site and make a new folder from there.
    Is there another way of creating new folders, preferably an official app from Apple or from within an iWorks app or the document picker that I do not know of? Or is this actually a missing feature?
    Also, if Apple could make an app similar to Microsoft OneDrive, that would be great.

    Yes, there is a way. Here is the workaround. You can add notes folders directly with your iPad or iPhone.

  • I cannot create a new subfolder in one of my mail accounts. (All of my other accounts/inboxes I can create new folders)

    > The option to create a new folder is available, however when I click create, no new folder is created.
    > I have 5 separate email accounts I am running, it is only 1 specific account which I can't create new folders for.
    > I used to be able to create new folders for the account in question.

    Thanks for you response.

  • I can no longer create new folders in Windows 7; could this problem be a result of recently reinstalling Firefox?

    I'm using Windows 7 Home premium on an HP Pavilion laptop. Maybe two weeks ago, I stopped being able to create new folders in the Windows Explorer box; I click the "New Folder" button, and nothing happens: no error message, nothing. Around two weeks ago, I also reinstalled Firefox to get rid of some adware virus (success: the adware is gone!). I do not recall the exact timing on when I did the reinstall and when I stopped being able to create new folders, but I'm wondering if the folder problem could be related to the re-install. And if so, what can I do about it?
    Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

    Hello FJasmine, no, it is not related the firefox update with that.

  • Can't create new folders

    One day, just randomly my laptop stopped letting me create new folders. when i right click and go to "new" the option is simply not there, and when i open windows explorer and click new folder, nothing happens. I have to copy a folder, delete its contents, and rename it every time i wish to create a new folder. I have made no major changes to my computer; the only things I have done is download music from itunes, and a few new video games. I cannot find anywhere that it could be.
    Also, I might add I use Comodo firewall, wich not only blocks things from acessing the internet, but from files acessing other files, registry, etc. I didn't know if this could be affecting it. When i instal something new I have to allow it anywhere from 3-8 times for each different thing. I've had it for a few weeks now, and noticed no problem with my laptop because of it other than constantly having it allow things when i first open them.
    I have tried system recovery and ran a virus scan with avast and registry mechanic, and none of these have fixed it. The only thing i found online was a guy telling me ot download his program and install it to my registry (however, i did not trust this, because i could not find information of the name of the file he told me to install anywhere else, so i figured it would do more harm than good)

    I'll assume you're talking about Windows Explorer. If the problem is elsewhere, it's a different story.
    The problem just started today.
    With a little luck, a System Restore will fix that registry problem.
       What is System Restore?
    Otherwise, open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to this key.
       HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New
    In the right pane, look at the data for the value (Default). It should be this.
       {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}
    If not, attach a picture of what you see (as I have).

  • How do I create new folders in my mail?

    How do I create new folders to divide and save my mail into catergories?

    Hi Tina
    Two ways to do this:
    1 in Mail, go the tool bar at the top of the screen, select Mailbox, then select New Mailbox in the menu.
    2 in Mail, go the lefthand column, and at the bottom left you should see a plus sign and a cogwheel icon. Click on the plus sign and a new, untitled, mailbox will appear in the column above. Name this as you like.
    You can "nest" mailboxes inside other mailboxes (eg inside a box I called "personal" I have individual mailboxes for each of my family and friends).
    Then simply drag messages from your inbox to the appropriate mailbox in the lefthand column when you want to archive them.
    Hope this helps!

  • I am unable to create new folders 10.8.6

    Today I am unable to create new folders on my internal drive. I changed all the permissions for the applications with "get info" and unlocking plus selecting read and write for all three categories of users. My home office is shut down.
    HELP!

    reset home folder permissions
    1. Boot OS X Recovery by restarting the computer while holding the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    2. When the Repair Utilities screen appears, select Utilities from the Menu Bar, then click Terminal.
    3. In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and press Return.
    4. The password reset utility window will appear. Do not select a new password.
    Instead, click on the icon for your Mac's hard disk at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account with the problem.
    5. At the bottom of the window, you will see Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the Reset button. Repeat for each User account with the problem.
    The reset process may take a couple of minutes. When it finishes quit the programs and restart your Mac.
    Depending on exactly what you did to your Mac's permissions the above may not help. If it does not, read and follow Apple Support Communities contributor Niel's User Tip: kmosx: I accidentally set a disk's permissions to No Access

  • Creating New Folders

    Is there some way to create new folders in the Mail app on the iPhone? I can see where there is the folder at the bottom with the option to move emails to different folders besides Inbox; however, I can't find a way to create for example a "Hold" folder. I have several folders on my desktop's Mail program, but none got transferred to the iPhone when I did the sync.
    Thanks!

    if I use IMAP within Mail on my desktop, will my mail "rules" (filters) still function?
    Yes. If you have another e-mail client sorting things for you. All of your mail will be sorted when you get it on your iPhone (including de-spammed if your other e-mail program does that too).
    Only mail left in your InBox will be automatically downloaded to your phone. If you want to see mail filtered to somewhere else, you will have to touch that folder on the phone.

  • How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

    Hello guys
    I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
    I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
    I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
    Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

  • How do we create new folders?

    Hi folks,
    Just got a new Playbook and, contradicting all the bad press about it, it is actually very good. The question I have is: how do we create new folders? The only I can see are the "All", "Favorites", "Media" and "Games. Also, how do we sort by name the icons on the desktop? Thanks J. Rola

  • Cannot create new folders in Outlook

    I just bought a new PC computer.  I installed MSFT Office Professional Plus 2010.  I opened Outlook and added in (i) the pst folder I had set up from my previous Vista
    computer (also with Outlook 2010), (ii) my hotmail account, (iii) my at&t/yahoo account and (iv) my gmail account.  I cannot create new folders in any of them.
    When I right click anywhere in the navigation pane and select "New Folder..." I get the following error message:
    "Outlook cannot read the registry information.
    -Close and restart Outlook.
    -Reinstall Outlook
    -Reinstall Microsoft Exchange or other e-mail system."
    I tried all three, including removing and reinstalling Office and removing all of the email accounts/pst files and re-adding and still have the problem.
    If I try to right-click properties on any of the accounts, I get the same error message, with the following additional language first:
    "Cannot display 'General' page. This page will remain visible, but is not available."
    Not sure what is left to try.
    Appreciate any ideas.

    Hi
    Thank you for using
    Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
    From your description, If the PC from clean install, you can follow these steps to test this issue.
    1.      
    Start the Outlook in safe mode,
    Press and hold the CTRL key,
    and then click Outlook.
    If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them.
    2.      
    Create a New profile & PST file to test this issue
    If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile & PST, the old Outlook profile is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
    3.      
    Make sure the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
    key permissions to allow full permissions to all users

    In the Finder navigate to where you want to create the folder then press SHIFT-COMMAND-N to create a new "untitled" folder.
