Trying to move files into a new folder and th finder folders disappear and show latest open application

I did not have this problem running the beta. I upgraded to the shipping version yesterday and whenever I try to move a file or application into another folder, both folders disappear, the desktop screen flashes, then I see the finder folders behind whatever application I had open last sitting on top of the finder window. If I let go of the mouse nothing moves and the windows close.

I'm having the same or similar issue...  I think...  trying to do a little house cleaning in the file structure.  For example, in our events folder I'm creating archive folders (i.e. - 2004, 2005, ect...) and when I use the Files Panel to drag and drop the past event pages into the newly created archive folder, the pages loose all their links.
Image link prior to and after moving are the same (../images/logo1.gif)
It does ask me to confirm that I want to move the file but nothing about updating the links.  Is it due to the way the files are linked in the original files?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

    I have several files in a folder in Pages on my, and want to move some of them into a new folder. How can I do that?  Thank you.

  • Move selected files into a new folder

    here's what I'd like to do:
    -- select a number of files in the Finder
    -- run the script
    -- get a prompt for a new folder name and location
    -- move (not copy) the selected files into this folder
    Sounds possible but so far eludes me. Any help please?

    Thanks, that helped a lot.
    I played some more with this and made a more simplified script that uses the finder for naming of the new folder and then renaming it.
    tell application “Finder”
    set the_folder to container of item 1 of (get selection) as alias
    end tell
    tell application “Finder”
    set new_folder to (make new folder in folder the_folder)
    move selection to new_folder
    end tell
    tell application “Finder”
    select new_folder
    end tell
    tell application “System Events”
    keystroke return
    end tell

  • How do I collect and organize files into a new folder without breaking the links to my media?

    I'm new to premiere pro, and learned that I probably should have figured out where to organize all of my files from the beginning, but in the post production phase, I have a bunch of audio and image files sitting all over my desktop, and I'm afraid that if I move them, I'll break the links to all of my media. Files I edited in CS6 Photoshop and Audition are of special concern (considering they get automatically routed to my desktop).
    Does anyone know how I can collect all of the files and media that were imported into my project, and and archive them into a folder without breaking the project's links to the original media? Perhaps there's a way to copy all of the files and move them into that folder, so that when I move the originals, I'll still maintain all of the links in the copied version?
    I tried using the project manager tool, but received an "unknown error message" each time I ran it. 
    Any organizational insight would be much appreciated!

    I am horrible with computers but trying.  The files were saved and would play through VLC player when I clicked on them to rename them I change them to .mov and then when I tried to import in to Imovie they woud not do it and now they will not play at all.  So I tried changing them to mp4 but they wouldnt play still.  How can I convert these or save them to go into imovie so I can get them edited an uploaded to youtube.  I have that part figured out but I dont have the first part figured out.  Thanks

    See my post here for how to do this.

  • When will my icloud folder reflect memory upgrade? I am trying to move files from google drive folder to icloud.

    My icloud folder does not reflect storage upgrade.  I only had 25GB on my google drive and I have 500GB on my icloud but cannot move these files over. Whats up?

    How much free storage do you have on your system drive?  Since all files on iCloud Drive will be mirrored on your system drive as shadow copies in your user library, you can only keep as many files on iCloud Drive as can be kept on your system drive as well.
    You cannot use iCloud Drive to save space on your system drive, if that is what you are trying to do.

  • HT201737 how to move files into a finder folder

    how do I move files into an existing folder in finder on MacBook Pro?

    I am attempting to move some EXEL files that have been saved as documents.  When I open finder, these files do not appear in the recent, or last 30 days section so I need to search fro them.  When they are found they are not on the page where the folder exists so I don't seem to be able to drag them to the folder. 

  • Can't move files into folders more than one time.

    I'm having a strange problem.  If I try and drag a file into a folder then it will allow me to do that, but only once.  If I try to drag another file into the same folder then it is locked.  I can drag it into a different folder, but the same thing happens, I can move a file into the new folder but not a 2nd file, but it is locked.  I have to restart to "unlock" these folders, but the same things happens over and over again.  I can move a single file into a folder, but after that it locks up and I have to restart.
    Any ideas why this is happening?  It only happens in bridge, I'm able to move files freely in Finder.
    Thanks!

    I can't find a permission setting that would only allow a single file to be moved to a folder
    Don't know if you already tried but use a check and repair permissions on your Mac using either Apple Disk Utility (applications / utilities) or a third party like Cocktail.
    If still the same happens restart bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences.
    When the problem still exist please provide more details about OS and Bridge versions as well as computer specs.

  • Drag and drop simple ".mov" files, into 2 dif. browsers, no longer working

  • I uploaded 3 documents then converted to pdf then combined them into one new folder.  How do I down

    I uploaded 3 documents, then coonverted to pdf, then put in new folder.  how do I download the folder to my desktop?

    Create a new folder and name it.
    Drag the documents into the new folder.
    Or, select them all and ctrl- (right-) click on them and select New folder with Selection (x items).
    The files will be moved to a new folder, the folder will be selected and set in rename mode. Start typing the name.
    If you click somewhere before renaming, the folder is named New folder with items as the default.

  • LOOOOOONG pauses in Windows Explorer with file copy, rename, new folder, etc.

    I am using Windows 7 64-bit pro and I am experiencing horribly long pauses in Windows Explorer on very simple file operations, such as renaming a file, copying a file, creating a new folder, etc. Here is an example:
    1. Open a folder in windows explorer, e.g. My Documents
    2. Select a file
    3. Hit F2 and enter a new name for the file, then hit ENTER to save the name
    4. Windows Explorer now shows the wait cursor and becomes completely unresponsive, sometimes for MINUTES.
    This is crazy. I read somewhere it may be due to shell extensions -- another post specifically called out MagicDisc, but I uninstalled that and still have the problem. After a fresh reboot the problem usually is not there immediately, but always comes back eventually.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Lex3001,
    I would like to confirm what are the results in Safe Mode and Clean Boot?
    I also would like to suggest you run ShellExView again and disable some shell extensions to check the issue.
    Run ShellExView
    =================
    1. Launch ShellExView again and scan the computer.
    2. Press "Ctrl" on the keyboard and click all items which are marked in pink in the list.
    3. Choose "File" then "Disable Selected Items".
    4. Quit and restart the computer to check the Windows Explorer issue again.
    Does it work?
    In addition, I also would like to suggest you create a new user account to check the result

  • How can I move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder?

    I am using a syncing program to keep cookie exceptions on multiple computers all equivalent. Unfortunately this is causing a problem because places.sqlite changes frequently and cannot be synced while FF is running. So I want to move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder so I can only sync that one folder. Is there a way to specify the location of this file?

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

  • Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not

    Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not. There are hundreds of what it thinks are duplicates. How can I get it to let me put them all into a folder and create unique names? If I do one file at a time, it gives me the option to keep both files. But not when I am moving hundreds at a time.

    A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
    I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.
