Unable to open TV shows folders or sub folders on photo on my IMac

My 4 year old was clicking random things and pressing random keys on my IMAC and now when we try to open photo albums or in Itunes, attempt to open TV shows to browse individual shows, it refuses to allow us to click. Is there a setting or something he enabled that prevents us from accessing the photos or TV shows?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if it'll play in Quicktime on the PC, although the file did play (very choppily) on her (pretty ancient) Mac, so my problem probably wasn't just a matter of corruption.
My sister ended up buying the entire series of the show on DVD and watching that, so I'd mostly stopped worrying about the problem. And it was also happening for me with iTunes 7.0 for Windows, not iTunes 7.0.1, so my problems may have been fixed with the update. I guess for the sake of thoroughness I should try adding it again in 7.0.1.

  • Bridge Freezes when Show Items From Sub Folders

    Hi all. I am trying to create a portfolio of past works. Using Adobe Bridge and Show Items From Sub Folders makes it easy to go through thousands of files. One major problem though; Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
    I am running a Mac Pro with Adobe Design CS4 Premium installed. I have 16gb of Ram and have played around with Bridge's preferences and deleted Bridges preference files. I also tried all the options list on Adobe's check list.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards

    Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
    As a matter of fact, bridge CS4 is the most stable version of bridge, and although still not perfect yo should be able to view the folder in flat view.
    It only takes a lot of time to cache if you have not done before. If cache does not start you first should try to purge cache for folder using the tools menu.
    If Bridge keeps freezing first thing to try is to restart holding down option key and choose reset preferences. Set prefs again to your own wishes and try again.
    You can also try to first cache the folder using the tools menu. In the folderpanel select the main folder you want to view its contents and go to the tools menu / cache and this time select build and export cache.
    Depending on the amount and size of files it takes some time. Then try again.
    It is able to work, as it does on my system. I have also a main folder that contains around 5000 files organized in stacks and works as it should

  • Importing Main Folders with Sub-folders

    I am a new Mac user and I am trying to import my photos into iPhoto6.0. I have created main folders with sub-folders (eg. Main Folder = Holiday, Sub-folder = Australia Trip) and would like the sub-folders to appear when I open iPhoto. However, I cannot seem to get the main folder or sub-folder names to appear in iPhoto. The photos just get imported into the library and segregated by year.
    I tried reading the forum, and seem to infer that iPhoto cannot handle sub-folder names. However, when I read iPhoto 6.0 Help page, it states:
    "You can also drag individual photos or an entire folder from the Finder into iPhoto's photo viewing area. If you drag a folder, a film roll is created with the folder's name. If the folder you import contains subfolders, film rolls are created with each subfolder's name."
    I tried the above, but I don't seem to manage to get the film rolls named as described.
    Please help!!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Could it be confusion with what you are viewing in the iPhoto window?
    iPhoto always shows you a "last roll", which is really more like a smart album than a Film Roll. It is simply a quick way to find the photos from your most recent import session. When I drag in 2 folders to import, it only shows the second folder when I select "last roll." Are you seeing photos from one of your folders, or both of them together?
    Select "Library" from the top of your Source Pane to see your entire library. It doesn't mattter if you already have photos in your library or if you're beginning fresh. Under the "View" menu, select "Film Rolls" so that it is checked. Also under View, select "Sort Photos" > "by Film Roll". Now try to select the name/icon of 2 folders in Finder, then drag over the iPhoto window onto where the thumbnails display your library. (Or display nothing, if your library is empty.) Release when the curser is a green plus sign. When the import is finished you should see the 2 folder names (now as rolls) each with a set of thumbnails below it. Check the slider near the bottom right of the iPhoto window; moving it all the way to the left will give you the smallest thumbnails and allow you to see more photos at once.
    Please try this again and let me know how it goes. If this does not solve it, then I can tell you how to check what's in your library. But the Film Roll view should work.

  • Working with Folders and Sub-Folders

    I'm updating this big site, and its pages are organized into
    folders. I've only ever organized my images and .pdf files with
    folders not my html files but all my prior sites have never had so
    many files as this one. It’s starting to drive me crazy
    though because pages in folders aren't connecting to scripts in the
    scripts folder, menus aren't working right because of it and I'm
    not sure what I can do to fix it.
    My question is if images are showing up in these sub-pages,
    the linked css is being applied in these sub-pages why are the
    scripts not working in the sub-pages? For example, all the top
    level pages easily connect to the rotating JavaScript banner, but
    as soon as you go into a sub-folder page the banner disappears. All
    these files are being updated via templates so any changes I'm
    doing is affecting all the pages the same. That’s why
    it’s confusing me why an image would connect the same but a
    script wouldn't. Don't they search for their links root down or
    does it search the folder its in down? How can you get templates to
    work under such conditions where files are both in the root and in
    folders and sub-folders?

    Please note that this is a temporary domain for testing. The
    top menu will pop up a window saying that it needs to be
    registered. They are, just not to that domain and I don't have
    access to the native domain. Sorry for the inconvenience!
    Thank you for any clarification!!!

    Where do I find this library?
    thanks
    Shak

    Twas quite a hassle if I am honest which was eventually resolved but I don't feel qualified to help anyone through the process as it required a trip to my local apple store and a genius bar appointment.
    Personally, I would do anything like moving pictures out of folders etc. Certainly not creating a new users. i don't think that is an elegant solution
    Try the following which MAY just about rescue the situation for you but if they don't work you may have to do something more drastic.
    (1) Holding down Cmd & Alt at the same time, start iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon. From the resulting menu choose Rebuild photo library by selecting all available options given to you and then pressing REBUILD!
    If that doesn't work
    (2) Fire up Utilities. Go to migration assistant. Chose 'From another Time machine back-up'. Open the 'Users' option that comes up next and from there select Pictures, then uncheck everything else like Applications etc (you don't want to do a full migration of everything) and click go.
    If that doesn't work, take a deep breath and this step is rather complicated but it worked for me. First of all close iPhoto! Then go to new Finder window.
    From the Finder window choose Pictures, then iPhoto library, press CMD and the letter i. It brings up a new window. Go to Sharing & permissions. From there select the padlock to unlock settings. and then select User account, then press the 'cog' icon next to +/- abd choose Apply to enclosed items.
    This may take a while. Once completed, re-open iPhoto.
    And that should (I stress should) cure it.
    Good luck.

  • Unlocking All Folders and Sub Folders When Sharing

    Is there a way to share files and unlock them automatically. I Have many hundreads of excel and word docs in folders and sub folders.
    After a day scratching my head trying to work out why I could not save them on the shared computer I realized that I needed to unlock the folder.
    Excel does not have in its preferences anything that suggest this....it gets old real quick opening each file and then typing my computer password for each folder/ file etc....truly hope this can be done.
    Thanks in advance!

    Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

  • Importing existing folders and sub folders of photos into photoshop organiser 9

    I have over 10,000 photos nicely organised in folders and sub folders in Bridge CS3 and want to migrate over to photoshop elements and use their organiser so I have everything in one place. However, when I try to import the photos, it brings them in as individual photos and not in their folders. It seems like I need to recreate a load of albums and then drag and drop the photos into them. I don't have time to recreate hundreds of album names to replicate my system as it is. Is there any way round this or should I be looking at a different system altogether?
    Thank you for any advice on this.

    ... should I be looking at a different system altogether?
    If your entire organizational goals are to continue to use your "nicely organised" folders, then why bother with the PSE Organizer in the first place? You have extra work (must import the photos) and more limitations (must do all photo management inside of the PSE Organizer), and its hard to see any benefit from using the PSE Organizer. You won't achieve any "better organization" than what you have now.
    If your goals are to use PSE tools to organize (tags, captions notes), in addition to (or as a replacement for) your folder organization, then the PSE Organizer can be very useful.

  • Can I arrange my bookmarks so that the folders and sub-folders are at the top of the list like in Explorer?

    I transferred all of my "Favorites" from Explorer. I have a lot of folders and sub-folders and I would like these to be listed at the top (as in Explorer) with individual bookmarks below. Right now the folders and individual bookmarks are mixed together.

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    If you '''Sort by Name''' in the Bookmarks Sidebar, that is how Firefox sorts bookmarks. If you have any '''''Separators''''', the Sort will stop there and you'll have to Sort from there down separately.

  • How To Add Folders and Sub Folders

    I am brand new (1 week) to my new Mac (iMac). In my Windows-based PC I used to have, for example, a folder named PHOTOS followed by sub folders designating certain categories that work for me, such as, "Family", "Vacations" etc, and I would make sure that all my uploads from my camers went to the appropriate folder.
    I would like to accomplish the same thing in my Mac, but have no idea how to go about it. I do not even know how to create such folders and sub folders.
    Is someone out there who can help, please?

    pstoll
    In the Finder: File -> New Folder creates a new Folder. To nest a folder inside another one then simply drag the second one to the first.
    But if you're trying to organise your photos, there's a much better way to do that on your Mac. Check out iPhoto It's a photo manager that's integrated throughout the Operating System. It's much, much more flexible than a bunch of folders in the Finder. You can keyword your pics, populate Smart Albums automatically, rate and edit your pics, all via iPhoto.
    You can find out more here:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/
    there are some tutorials here
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto
    and a good forum here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=143
    My best advice is to explore the app by dragging in maybe 100 pics and testing things out, gettting the hang of it. It's miles better than a folder hierarchy.

  • I accidentally locked my desktop folders , unable to open them Ho two unlock the folders

    I accidentally locked my desktop folders , unable to open them Ho two unlock the folders

    You have done something which change the permissions and your user is not able to access anymore. You can play around and try to correct permissions manually by going to your home folder, right click on the Desktop folder and choose get info and when new window will be open, at the bottom of it, check if your username is listed and if has Read & Write permissions.
    Other option is to boot to recovery mode (after starting up your computer press and hold CMD+R), then from top panel click on Utilities and choose Terminal. Once terminal is open, type in it resetpassword and when new window will be open, select Macintosh HD as your system drive, select your password and click on the RESET button which is next to "Reset home folder permissions and ACL". NOTE: do not reset your password, you don't have to.
    Second options would be better in case if permissions on other folders been changed too.

  • Merging Folders and Sub Folders.

    this might be a stupid question.
    let me just say i like backing up my music in folders on a drive that are more easily accessed than on time machine.  and for many years ive had all my music backed up on 2 different backup drives. ive always just picked out everything that was new within the sub folders and moved them over.
    is there a way to automatically merge all folders, subfolders, and files without re-copying everything??
    for example. let me set this up. i have one folder on the Root drive Called "Music" the directory goes "Music/Artist/Album/Songs" etc.
    if i want to copy all the new music without copying every single artist and album again by hitting replace, i have to go in and manually select new albums from existing artist folders and drop them in.
    if that doesnt make sense... lets say i have an artist already in my library and i add a new album. it shows up in my itunes artist folder in another folder. but if i go into finder and select all artists and drag them into the backup disk "music" folder and it says.. "this folder already exitsts" Skip, Replace, Stop. or whatever. if i hit skip it will completly skip the new albums from existing artist folders and only add new artists from the "Music" Folder.
    if there a way i can make it Merge and add every folder and file from new albums instead of skipping over them???

    The only stupid question is one that you don't ask (my favourite saying from when I was an instructor)
    Think of what you are trying to do more as adding to or removing from or changing a group of source files and folders and you want that structure "mirrored" to another drive. The rsync command is ideal for this; it compares the source and destination structures and makes the destination match the source by adding items to the destination if they aren't there, removing items from the destination if they are no longer on the source destination. In doing the comparison, it builds a list of what needs changing, so that only those things get copied, not everything.
    it will work most conveniently for you if you make it copy your iTunes media folder, because then you only need to add your new album (for example) into iTunes and then use rsync twice, once for each backup drive. As an iTunes media folder is usually organised how you describe (artist/album/song), so you don't need to maintain your own separate structure, you'll simply have two extra copies of your iTunes media folder, one on each backup drive... Sound like what you want?
    The downside to rsync for beginners is it's usage from the Terminal; it can be daunting, and for those new to the command line, the help can be cryptic sometimes. It's past midnight here and I need to crash, so if you want I can help you with it in 12 hours or so, just reply to let me know. In the meantime, if you want to use rsync, open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and type man rsync. You can read up on it a bit; don't worry if you don't understand a lot of it at the moment, the purpose is to understand better the command we will be putting together when you finally see it. When reading man pages, hit F to go forward a page, B to go back and Q to quit.
