Two Draft Folders

I have noticed that I have two draft folders in my iPad and iPhone – one is for my MS Outlook Exchange and the other seems to be the iPad mail draft folder. I typed a lengthily email on my laptop, saved it in the draft folder, then wanted to edit it from my iPad or iPhone. The email has been saved in the MS Outlook Exchange’s draft folder however I can’t seem to edit it from my iPad or iPhone. If I type an email from my iPad or iPhone and save it as a draft, I can edit it as usual. I have also tried to move the email from the Exchange draft folder to the iPad’s mail draft folder but I couldn’t move the file.
Is there any way I can edit emails saved as a draft through my MS Outlook Exchange and then if necessary edit it again from my iPad.

After so many years of using iOS, I have never needed this function so didn't realise it was missing.
Just found a user requiring this functionality on 6.0.1 and this still does not work.
Do we have any advice on this?
It's rather frustrating.
It's a feature that anyone should have, it's a basic request
Maybe there is a technical issue with exchange on this,
Thanks,
G.

I have had MyWebSearch install itself as my primary browser....I have needed to reset Firefox in safe mode but I am not sure that the changes have actually been done! In Options in the Options menu the window displays all the add on's and features that are on Firefox....I have two zipped folders here One allows me to see inside the other does not. How do I access this one that does not give me the option to as I want to know what is inside...as this "MyWebSearch has been an enormous hassle...and needless to say has compromised my PC and the security of all of my passwords.....I want to be sure that the resetting the browser default has actually worked and that MyWebSearch is gone!

Are you talking about MyWebSearch toolbar (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q1) which offers apps such as Smiley Central, Cursor Mania???
If yes, uninstallation instructions are here - (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q4). Could you provide me some details about the ZIP folders. If I get a screenshot, I can help you very well.

I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

*there's no reason to be paranoid*
Says Mulder .
Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

How did I get two "home folders"?

I suddenly got into problems with my backup because the home folder did not have the usual content. When I try to see what happened, it looks like I have two "home" folders.
When I select Go>Home from the men, it looks like this:
And when I click on the Data drive below the Data folder, it looks like this:
The juliusson-folder in the second image is the one that I thought was the home folder. It contains the stuff that I want to back up.
Can someone see from this what could be wrong? I don't really know how it should look.
When this happened, I also lost my user settings.

I don't know if I moved the Home folder out of the start up drive on purpose It could have been part of my original configuration.
I set up my computer years ago by following some online instructions for an optimised set up for Photoshop work. I have three drives installed. One 1TB drive and two 2TB drives. The instructions that I followed were meant to put the system and programs on one drive (also used as scratch drive) and then have images and other stuff on the other two. Those two were set up as a mirrored RAID configuration.
Everything has worked fine for over three of years. Could the problems be caused by an accidental folder move?
It's hard to understand how an accidental folder move would cause this - the home folder path is also set within the system configuration. That means you can't just use any old folder as the home folder location.
I guess it's possible an accident moved it, but then there would have been some user interaction to have agreed to use it in the new location. It seems likely that you somehow managed to use the OS when the Data disk was offline - the folder got created in place of the old home folder, that caused a new one to be made (new home folders get the default template with Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures etc).
Have you got another user account on the system? Is that user an admin? Does that user work OK?
You will need an admin account to fix this issue, please create one & leave the home folder for the admin on the main boot disk.
Do you have any data that you need within the current home folder (the new one inside the Data folder)?
Your original settings will be saved in the original home folder, but that is not being used at present. If you can abandon the new home folder here is what I suggest…
Disable automatic login if it is enabled - you need to stop logging in as 'juliusson' whilst you fix this, it can be re-enabled when it is fixed.
Create a new admin user account in 'System Preferences > User & groups', this is as a backup to allow you to manage the computer whilst fixing the home folder.
Reboot, login as the new admin account.
In 'System Preferences > User & groups', unlock the panel with the admin password (click the padlock)
Select the 'juliusson' user account, right click (or ctrl+click) the name & select 'Advanced Options…' in the popup.
Look at the 'Home Directory:' path. That needs to be set to the old location. By default that should be /Users/juliusson, yours looks like it should be /Volumes/Data/juliussonIf you are unsure use the Finders 'Go menu > Go to Folder…' to open '/Volumes/Data/juliusson' confirm that it contains some of your old user files.*
Save the correct path in the 'Home Directory' setting & reboot (do not edit any other Advanced fields)
*NOTE: In steps 6 you probably will not see the correct path since the Data folder is occupying the same location that the Data disk uses. To get around this you will need to rename the Data folder insider /Volumes, and reboot. I'd suggest you move the user home inside the Data folder to a new location as a backup & then delete the entire Data folder in /Volumes/. A reboot will be required to allow the Data disk to mount into the /Volumes/Data location. Once it mounts correctly login should work.
You can merge the home folders as Barney suggested, but this is probably safest via a manual approach unless you are willing to spend time & are experienced in comparing files with apps the can do selective copying (ChronoSync for example).
Please ask if you are unsure about any of this - it's major changes to your user data setup - a full backup is essential before beginning. Setting the home path is the correct way to relocate a home folder once the data is moved.

I seem to have two home folders?

I don't know how this happened (perhaps when I upgraded to Tiger?), but I seem to have two home folders.
The “real” one has the “house” icon and is in the proper place: Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > tim (my username). The duplicate does not have the house icon and is at the root level of my HD.
Both folders have mostly the same contents: ViaVoice, Sites, Public, Pictures, Music, Movies, Desktop, Documents, Library. The differences are that the “real” home folder (the one with the house icon) has icons on all of the subfolders too, while the “fake” one has blank subfolders. The real folder has the actual contents of my desktop in its desktop folder while the fake one does not. The “fake” home folder, however, has a crossed out pencil icon at the top of the window (meaning the folder is unchangeable?).
Is it safe to delete the “fake” home folder and how do I do so?
Thanks.

It should be perfectly safe to trash the "fake", as it cannot possibly be being used, after checking (you've already done it, I'm sure) that it contains nothing you want.
Have a Finder window open so that you can see the "fake". Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
rm -R
Type a <space> after the R
Drag the "fake" folder into the Terminal window. The folder will not move, but the line in Terminal will now be completed with the path to the "fake". Hit <return>.
If the "fake" has gone that's it. If there is an error message in Terminal then do exactly the same, but using:
sudo rm -R
…<space>, drag folder. After hitting <return> you will get a "password:" prompt. Type carefully (it will not show on screen), hit <return> again. Poof!

I only want itunes to hold the lossless files which are in two different folders. How do I do that?

I have thousands of MP3 files which I no longer use and which are in my itunes library.
I want itunes (version 11) to have in it's library only the MS Lossless format and the ALAC lossless format which are in two different folders. How do I achieve this?

Delete the files you don't want, or cut & paste them to an alternate location if you want to archive them.
What MS Lossless format? .wav?
iTunes doesn't have any custom organization features, but you can change the location of the media folder and then selectively consolidate content to the new folder. This creates copies so you have to manually delete the originals. Alternatively I have a script called ConsolidateByMoving which does what it suggests. Thiis could be used to split the media into parallel subfolders within your existing media folder if you disable iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" option.

One file to two different folders simultaneously?

Is there a way to copy one file to two different folders simultaneously?
Maybe a script?
Drew

Thanks for the response Baltwo.
Maybe I shouldnt have said 'simultaneously'.
What I'm trying to achieve is this.
I drop a file into one folder and it automatically copies to ano folder (a redundant back up of the first folder)
Is that possible at all?

Publish to two local folders in iWeb

Title says it all. How can i publish to two local folders in iWeb?
I have iWeb '08.

If you are referring to being able to publish two websites to different local folders, the way to go is have each site on a separate Domain file so that they can be launched in iWeb and published separately.
See under "Separate Domain Files" here...

Two music folders with some of the same music.

How do I combine two music folders (one is on my pc, the other is on my external HD). The external HD is for back up, but I have since added 7gb of music on my PC. Short of going folder by folder to copy and drag, is there an easier way to combine the folders with out doubling up what is in both spots?

IF you are going from PC to external then drag the whole library to the external drive and andwer no when asked if you want to copy over existing files. That's how I do it. No duplication and only the new songs actually copy.

Two Media Folders? Different artwork for screensaver

Hi all,
Setup:
- Macbook Air
- Yosemite, OS X 10.10
- iTunes 12.0.1.26
- External HD
- Match subscriber
I have set up iTunes to have my media folder located on a portable hard drive and the library files (.itl, .xml, artwork etc) on the local machine. I use the iTunes artwork as a screensaver.
I have spent the past couple of months recovering from a corrupted .itl file. It wasn't the end of the world, all my media is on an external drive and I am also a Match subscriber, but I took the opportunity to run TuneUp Media over the library as I re-imported it to clean up track metadata, remove duplicates and so forth.
During this process I have uploaded clean songs to Match and I have downloaded songs that were somehow not in my library after I re-imported the music on my external hard drive.
For a fair while after doing all this work I noticed that I did not get any artwork for my screensaver if the external hard drive was not plugged in - which I found odd, given the artwork is stored on the local machine (or at least it seems to be).   Then I noticed I had a small amount of artwork showing repetitively on the screensaver...
As I investigated this it seems I have two Media folders. One on the local Macbook and one on the external hard drive.   The media folder on the local macbook contains songs that I have downloaded from iTunes Match as part of cleaning my library and Audiobooks that I have downloaded from Audible and then imported into iTunes.
If I look for a track that is stored in the media folder on the local machine, and then right-click on that track in iTunes to select "show in finder" it shows me that the media file is located on the External HD.
So it appears I files I am downloading from iTunes Match or adding from Safari are now being imported into a local "media" folder and then "consolidated" onto the External HD leaving them in both directories.
I'd like to not have duplicate data files and I would also like to get my entire iTunes artwork to show in screensaver when I do not have the External HD connected to the machine.
Does anyone have any advice?

If you store Album artwork the way i described using Command I (get info) - then the artwork is actually EMBEDDED in each song and is carried with that song wherever it goes.. and in this case it doesnt matter if u had 3 copies of the same album - all identical. You could even save a diff image for each tarck if u wanted.
If there is no artwork embedded, then coverflow places the image in a separate folder that is only referenced by iTunes for the whole CD.
You also might want to turn off coverlfow and continue doing what u had been doing in the past - add you won.
I also think i know what may be happening. You say they are identical except for track 2 - But problem is - I don't think iTunes can handle 2 identical CD's from the same artist.
Here's an experiment:
Goto any of the songs.... right-click and select "Show in Finder" the Finder will open and show you the song file and its location. Do you see one album once or 1 album twice?
If you see 2 of everything, i would recommend the following:
Rename the first album "December (2002)" and the second "December (2006)" then iTunes will definately separate them out.

Organize photos/pics in two-level folders

Is it possible to organize photos/pics on two-level folders, e.g. work (proj1, proj2..) family (birthday, travel..) ?
From the sync method with PC I only may organize pics in a flat folders structure (proj1, proj2, birthday, etc)

The Photos app currently only supports folders/albums to one level - any photos below that first-level folder on your computer will be included in it's parent folder's album on the iPad.
It looks like the Photo Manager Pro app from the iTunes app store supports sub-folders, and it seems to have fairly good reviews

How to recover missing folders after merging two annual folders?

I had two 2013 folders, each with about 100 daily folders. The dates were differnt in each annual folder. I dragged one into the other. The folder where the daily folder was dragged from is now empty but those folders do not appear in the recieving folder. All the photos are still in the catalog, but do not show in the folders (left side panel).

So this is the answer you probably don't want, but I think its a better solution. Instead of investing time and energy to fix up your folders, put the time and energy into enhancing your keywords, and then use keywords and other metadata when you want to search for photos, and don't use folders to search. This is what I do, as I don't know and don't care what folder things are in, but I do have the ability to find all of my photos quickly via keywords and other metdata. Furthermore, as I read these forums, people having problems with folders is a major source of confusion and problems, while the people who have problems with keywords are mjuch fewer and have much less serious issues, and usually its a complaint about a feature that they want added to the handling of keywords.
But if you really want to work on your folders, please do the following. Go to one of those photos from the "missing" folder, make sure there is no question mark on it, and then right-click on the photo and select "Go To Folder in Library". This should highlight the folder where the photo is now located over on the left in the Lightroom Folder Panel (you may have to scroll up or down to find it). Then you know where the photo is located, and you should be able to figure out how to restore folders to whatever location you want. If you need more help with this task, please let us know.

I have duplicate pictures in "my catalog" that I believe come from two Adobe folders found under "my pictures/adobe/ one is Revel and the other is Photoshop express which preceded revel. Can I delete those two folder without causing a problem with my catalog?

Thanks for the links, Limnos.
If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
username-->Music-->iTunes
HD-->iTunes
I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
- I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
- also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
You say:
/itunes/itunes media/ music
but it is important to note what comes before all that.
There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
Does that give more clarity into my problem?

Have two trash folders,no junk folder on screen?

I set up a new e-mail account. Under my in box column, I have two trash folders, but no junk folder.How do I add a junk folder to folder's list ? Also how to remove one of the trash folders.
Thanks

Thunderbird does not use a Spam folder. If your email provider does you may need to subscribe to it if you have an IMAP account.
Go to File-Subscribe and see what you see there.
