Unable to create folders for apps on springboard

I was successful at creating folders for one of my sons on his Ipod Touch, but my other son's Ipod won't allow me to do it. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on or off or what? With my sucessful situation, I simply held my finger on one of the apps on the springboard until they all got wiggly, and, therefore, moveable. I drag one app on top of another and was able to create a folder for the 2 (i.e., zombie games). I did the same thing on my other son's Ipod and the apps would not go on top of each other, would simply replace each other in the order they were on the springboard. I hope someone can help...

Do both iPods have iOS 4 installed?

    just drag one icon on top of another of a similar type. .ex drag Mr. Cond onto Poker app and a folder will automatically be created that you can rename. from there, just drag and drop more icons on to the new folder.

    How do I create folders for variuos apps i.e health, news, sports etc.

    Tap and hold down on an app con until it begins to "wiggle", then drag one app icon on top of another app icon to create the folder. Move as many apps as you like into that folder. When you are done, tap the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
    You can also name the folder whatever you want to in the white text field that will pop up when the folder is created.

  • Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

    Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing.  They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

    How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
    In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera.  If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
    If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac,  follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.)  On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted.  If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
    It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
    It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
    Here are some more ideas you can consider:
    Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be.  They may be visible there now.
    If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used.  Spotlight may give you a list of places to look.  If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images.  My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types. 
    You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search.  The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility"  choice.
    debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
    If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
    If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large.  For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks.  Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
    If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
    debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
    I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
    I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7).  You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
    debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
    I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files.  If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images.  However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
    You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied.  To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
    debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
    You're most welcome.
    If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

  • User Unable to Create Folders on Mapped Network Drive

    I have a user who is unable to create folders in a directory where she should have all the necessary permissions to do so.  She is a member of an AD group, and the effective permissions for that group include everything except:
    Full control
    Change permissions
    Take ownership
    The permissions are inherited from two levels up the tree.  So I went to the level from which the permissions are inherited and selected the "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" option in order
    to force the permissions to be reapplied to the child objects.  That fixed the issue for about half a day.  The issue came back and as far as I can tell nothing was changed--she still appears to have sufficient permissions to create folders, and
    yet she cannot.  In fact, I established a remote connection to her machine and tried it myself (under her account) and was not able to create a folder at any level in the tree.
    I have confirmed that one other user who is in the same AD group can create folders at any level of the directory tree.  I have also confirmed that no explicit permissions are set on any of the folders in the tree.  So the two users have the same
    effective permissions, yet it works for one and not the other.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    --Tom

    My apologies for letting this issue set for so long.  I got waylaid by a series of other more pressing issues and had to push this one to the back burner for a while, but I was able to come back to it and get it resolved today.  I wanted to report
    back for the benefit of others who may be reading this thread in the future.
    I think there were two separate issues:
    Conflicting permissions.  The user was a member of two groups--one that grants the permissions needed and one that grants more restricted access.  Her user account was also listed on the folder with more restrictive permissions than the groups. 
    She needs full access, so I removed her user ID and the more restrictive of the two groups.
    It appears that the changes were not getting written to the subfolders.  One of my co-workers suggested that I add her user ID with full control, make sure that change was made on all the subfolders, and then remove her user ID again and make
    sure the removal was made on all the subfolders, just to verify that the changes were getting written to the subfolders.  That worked.
    I'm not sure why the second step was necessary, since the first step should have been sufficient to force the permissions to be re-written on the subfolders, but I could not get it working without doing both of these steps.
    Thanks for the help on this issue, and again, my apologies for taking so long to get back to the group on this.

  • How to create folders for photo albums

    How to create folders for photo albums?

    More detail please?  Are you talking about photos synced to the Photos app in the iPad, or photos taken by the iPad camera, emailed to it or added by a camera kit? Have you checked the User Guide for this - availble through the IPad Manuals link at the very start of this forum?

  • 2960X 15.02(EX5) %AAA-3-ACCT_LOW_MEM_UID_FAIL:AAA unable to create UID for incoming calls due to insufficient processor memory.

    Deployed four 2960X switches in a stack.  All okay for about one month then tried to web browse for the first time via firefox which partially displayed the page.  I assumed this was a browser error.  So tried Chrome then IE which both failed.  Chrome was a bad display and IE fails to connect.
    After this, I could not telnet or ssh.  Plugged into the console and immediately started receiving:
    %AAA-3-ACCT_LOW_MEM_UID_FAIL: AAA unable to create UID for incoming calls due to insufficient processor memory
    %% Low on memory; try again later
    I am unable to log in.  I have a TAC case logged but the first step to try is a reboot which will be difficult until I can get a maintenance window.  When I do get a maintenance window, I would also like to deploy a fix such as a different version of code or a work-around cofig command.  I don't mind disabling HTTP.
    Any suggestions?

    I am currently working with TAC
    The switches failed about 18 hours later and had to be rebooted to get back up.  Now that I have console/telnet access, I can see the memory being depleted mostly by the Auth Manager process at about the same rate as free memory is dropping.

  • Cannot export video clips.  Get message: "unable to create video for export"

    Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder.  Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
    The video clips play correctly within iPhoto. 
    Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
    Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

    Yes.  I have 3,184 video clips in this library.  I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly.  I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case. 
    Some more info that may be relevant:
    I have multiple iPhoto libraries.  My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
    The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library.  I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release. 
    While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive.  It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content. 
    I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie.  Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
    In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export."  Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie.  I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

  • Create folders for other users

    I have a process that automatically generates folders based on events in the database using Advanced Queues. This process will work if I am creating folders for the user I am currently connected as.
    What I can't seem to do is use the system admin account to create folders in other users home folders. I get insufficient privilege errors when I use findPublicObject to return the users home directory. This seems to happen because the users home folder has a private ACL, it works if I make the home folder public but I don't really want to do that.
    Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Sure, here are two suggestions.
    1. If you want to create the folders in response to the AQ messages, and you want to do so independently of your application's normal security policies, you can use the system admin user to perform the operations, as long as you enable administration mode. Use LibrarySession.setAdministrationMode(true) to do this. Security will be bypassed until you turn this mode off.
    2. If you want to make the changes within the concept of your application security model, then modify the model so that your system admin user has access to everything that it needs to be able to update or delete. You can do this by modifying the ACLs on the objects in question.

  • HT2470 Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder, if I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder

    Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder? 
    If I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder.  This gets especially annoying because if I tell Itunes to store my "media" in my user/music folder, Itunes will then create a folder named "music" in my "music" folder and will also create additional folders in my user/music folder location to store other non-music media in as well. It is very annoying to see this lack of affinity for folders between two Apple created programs.

    Help iTunes locate your media folder:
    No content shows up in iTunes after updating

  • Creating folders for "To Do" in mac mail

    How do I create folders for "To Do's" in mail? I have multiple "To Do's" and they can get a bit confusing and difficult to shuffle through. I can't for the life of me figure out how to place them into folders. I can place individual "Notes" into folders but not "To Do's"

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As far as I know you can't move To Do's to different folders. Nevertheless, where a specific To Do is stored depends on where you've created it. If you are using an IMAP email-account and have it selected in the sidebar of Apple Mail when clicking on the To Do button of Mail, the To Do will be created and stored in the folder "Apple Mail To Do" on the server. Note that at the same time a calendar, labeled after your account, will be created in iCal.
