Unable to properly create new folder at the root level of exchange account

Using the latest version of Mail in OS 10.6 with an exchange server. Creating a subfolder within existing folders works perfectly. However, if I try to create a new folder at the very first level of hierarchy (directly under the inbox, not within an existing folder) it will not be created in the same location as my other folders. What will happen is, the folder will be created at the very bottom of all of my mail folders in an area that is labeled with the name of my exchange mailbox. This will be an area that only has folders that I created from within Mail on the Exchange server. All other exchange folder will be seen in the "Mailboxes" area directly underneath the exchange inbox.
FYI if I go into my exchange mailbox in a web browser and create a new folder directly underneath the inbox and then sync Mail for OS X, the folder will appear in the appropriate area. The issue only occurs when creating a new folder under the Inbox from within Mail.
Any solution here? My office is thinking of switching more computers from windows to mac, but we all run on Exchange and a glaring bug like this would make me think twice about rolling over to Mac for our office.

Bad idea to create new folders at the root level?

I have several clients who have been Mac user's since OS 8 and even earlier. When they transitioned to OS X they did not learn to use their local home folder properly and they continue to maintain a very cluttered folder structure at the root level of their hard drive. I believe one advantage they probably find is when sharing files the files are easy for other network users to find when they log on to each other's computers. But, I thought I read somewhere at one time that this was bad practice. Can anyone point me to a good article which explains the OS X file system that I can give these people to read? Or, am I worrying about nothing? I'm setting up an OS X Server for them so they can use Time Machine to backup - will the time machine backups contain all of these files and folders stored outside each user's folder?

I can't answer the first part, but yes, Time Machine will back-up the entire system (other than some specific system files, caches, logs, trash, etc.), unless they're specifically excluded via TM > Options (I suspect you wanted a different answer -- sorry).

Azure File Storage - Creating a directory at the root level using REST

I have a Xamarin / iOS project, and looking to use Azure File Share as a back-end.
With that in mind, I'm playing around with the REST API and have generally got things working with (a) Blobs and (b) Account-level access to Files.
Specifically, I can successfully request a list of File Shares, so I have the general call structure worked out.
However, I'm stumped about the exact incantation necessary to create a new directory at the root level of a share.
I've tried the following three variants, but all result in Forbidden - Server failed to authenticate the request
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/subdirname1
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:07:25 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/subdirname1\nrestype:directory
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/subdirname1/
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:07:58 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/subdirname1/\nrestype:directory
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare//subdirname1
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:06:16 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare//subdirname1\nrestype:directory
I did note that trying to get the contents of an (empty) root directory doesn't behave quite the way I'd expect
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/
request.Query: ?resttype=directory&comp=list
string to sign: GET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:23:17 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/\ncomp:list\nrestype:directory
Authenticates OK, but generates FAILURE BadRequest - The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.
Which is different behaviour from pulling the list of blobs from an empty container (returns 200 with an empty xml list of blobs.
I've been through the File Service REST API document (dn167006) and found the azurestoragesamples on codeplex, but the former is unclear on working with the root level and the latter is from 2011 and predates File Storage.
Any insights?

First, thank you for the quick response and the suggestion about looking at the response content for the string to sign being used. I wasn't aware of that and obviously it's a fantastic resource for figuring this kind of stuff out.
And what it immediately revealed is it wasn't some subtle oddity in my construction of the STS, it was that I was doing a client.GetAsync(...) and not a client.PutAsync(...). DOH!
With that sorted, it was trivial to fix.
In terms of the List Directories and Files, though, there's still a problem.

The response XML is

   <UriPath>/myshare</UriPath>
</Error>
I originally thought it might be because the share was empty. However, I'm targeting the same share in which I created (apparently successfully) the subdirectory.
So I'm still confuzzled on that.

How do I create a folder in the root of the server and put the file in it.

I have seen this talked about but no detailed instructions on how to do that.
Thanks

The root of a webserver is the part to the right of your base URL.
Connect to your webserver and locate the folder where you see the index.html file and the folder with yoursitename.
That's the root.
It's the default location where iWeb publishes its pages. The folder you specify in the pathname field when you setup a FTP account.
With MobileMe and Personal Domain enabled it is the iDisk > Web > Sites folder.
The detailed instructions are as follows :
Add a folder.
Done.

Can't create new folder on an external hard drive, and how to transfer files?

Hello everyone,
the non-English speaking videographer I translate for is having problems operating his Premiere CS5 for Mac from an external hard drive. He cannot create new folder on the external hard drive (the "New Folder" button is grayed-out when tries to export media onto the external hard drive) and when he simply tries to create new folder, the "new folder" option isn't available.
He suspects it's because the hard drive was formatted for PC.
Questions:
- should PC-formatting cause that problem?
- what's the proper way to transfer media files from PC-formatted external hard drive to the internal hard drive on Mac?
Would appreciate your advice.
Dimitri Vorontzov

He is right on the money
Now, for the sad or FAT part. You need to format the drive as FAT32 to make it work both on PC and MAC but, and that is a big BUT, the max file size of any given file will be 4GB. I haven't treid other formats yet, like the journaled MAC OS extended, but I don't think that would work. We transfer our files through or own gigabit network so I never had to try it, other than FAT32 formatted SDHC cards.

HT1449 new folder greyed out, unable to create new folder, anybody know why

trying to transfer Itunes to a new External drive, unable to create new folder on new drive as detailed in Apple instructions, anybody know why.

Unless you have a utility that will let you R/W NTFS they as noted - reformat to a +HFS file system - aka -
Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - using Disk Utility.
The Mac OS can read/write +HFS and FAT 32 but can only read NTFS.

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

Anyone?

In Mavericks, every time I try to create a new folder on the drive I get a prompt for my password. I checked Get Info on the main drive and under Sharing

I got a new 27" iMac with 10.8.5 and migrated a 10.6.8 system and files. It was working fine. After about 2 weeks I was looking at the Sharing & Permissions and saw an account "wheel". I mistakenly (I NOW know it was a mistake) changed the permission to no access and subsiquenty could not boot the computer. I had an older iMac so I built a boot disk with the Mavericks installer on it. Booted the computer and restored from a Time Machine backup previous to the change of permissions of the "wheel" account. I went ahead and did a clean install of Mavericks
The computer is now running with Mavericks installed and I am rebuilding. When I go to create a new folder on the system drive I get prompted for a pasword.
When I checked the permissions and sharing on the main drive it tells me "you can only read".
I am logged in with an admin account. I have run Disk Utiltiy and Tech Tool Pro's permission verify and repair. Given what happend last time I changed permissions I am reluctant to make any changes.
Anyone have an idea as to what I should do.
Thanks in advance.

Creating a New Folder on the Dock

I recently purchased CS3 for my computer and am looking to consolidate them into one folder for my dock. Under the applications window all the separate adobe programs have their own folder so I can only bring them down to the dock individually. I want to put all 8 programs that are currently on my dock into one folder that is located on my dock. I would also like to attach an image to that new folder instead of the plain folder look. The most important thing though is to just figure out how to add a folder to my dock. If I create a new folder on the desktop and try to drag it onto the dock it doesn't work. Any help??

create a folder on the desktop (or any other place on the HD), put aliases to your 8 programs into that folder and drag the folder to the right side of the dock (to the right of the divider).

Mac OSX, 10.7.5, LR 5.6 After creating a new folder in the Destination section and importing images, the new folder name appears as 2010, no matter what name I give it. Why is it doing this?

I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

You don't. If you have an imap email account, you create the folder when you log into your email account on a browser.
Can't do it for a pop account.

How to create a new folder within the video folder in media

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to create a new folder within the video folder in media. I can easily create new folders within the pictures folder but not in videos.....Why??? Thanks in advance for your help.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Right Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.
