What to do if I see a folder? .

What to do if I am shown a blinking ? In a folder? Thank you

There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

  • How can I see the folder "Library"?

    What do I press to see the folder "Library"

    There are multiple options since Apple decided to hide the local Library folder.
    Select the Finder's Go menu. Now press the option key and the Library menu entry will appear. Use your pointing device to then select the Library menu entry and you land inside the Library folder in your login directory.
    On the same menu without pressing the option key, you can select Go To Folder... or simply press shift+command+G. In the pop-up dialog, you can type ( the following character is a tilde) ~/Library and then choose Go. This too will land you in the Library folder.
    There is a way to unhide the login directory Library folder until the next operating system update hides it again. This step requires using the Terminal application. The following command is non-destructive to either your nerves or OS X.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Here's what you do.
    Triple-click on the above command to select it.
    Press command+C to copy it to the clipboard
    Change your keyboard focus to the Finder by clicking on your desktop.
    Press shift+command+U to open the Utilities folder.
    Double-click the Terminal application - a window will appear
    Change your keyboard focus by clicking anywhere within the Terminal window
    Press command+V to paste the above command into the Terminal window
    Press return to unhide your login directory Library folder
    Quit the Terminal application and close the Utility folder.
    Open a Finder window and confirm that the Library folder is visible

  • What is "CleanLibrary" in a users profile folder?

    Lately with new 10.8/10.9 OS Macs we've been seeing a folder called "CleanLibrary" rather than the hidden library file for users that have hosted Home folders on a 10.8 server.  What is this, why don't they have the standard Library folder and why isn't it hidden like the standard Library folder?  Can't find an answer here in the discussions or strangly on Google.

  • What would be the difference between sling:folder and nt:folder?

    what would be the difference between sling:folder and nt:folder?

    See,
       As Nicolas said, there are some things that you can do only in a sling:folder type of node.
       The "nt" means "Node Type", and a "node type: folder" is just a empty node that can be referenced as a organizational structure file folder. The "sling" prefix means that this one special folder belong to the type "Sling", in other words, that folder type node is built in the sling Framework structure and is constructed with some setting already, which I do not know to tell you. Take a look at "/libs/sling/nodetypes/sling.cnd" on you CRXDE Lite or CRXDE.
    (I may be wrong about some details, eveything here is what I believe myself after some research and experience)

  • Canon VixiaHF10- I can see canon folder on USB but can not import video

    I am able to connect my Canon Vixia HF10 to my iMac (using iLife) through USB- Iphoto opens and imports fine but the iMovie is not opening. I can see the folder with Unix files- please advise how to get movie clips into iMovie 7.1.4 Thank-you

    I got the HF10 as well and found out that my HF10 is not supported by iMovie.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
    I learned that the NTSC HF10 is compatible, the PAL version however which I have is not (tag on the bottom of the camera states it's a HF10E).
    What worked for me, at least on iMovie08:
    1 Connect camera and manually start iMovie
    2 Now, open disc utility and select the mounted device carrying your movies
    3 select to make a disc image from this device
    When disc utility finalizes the image and mounts it, iMovie all of a sudden recognizes it as a camera, opens the import window and you can start importing from the disc image.
    Hope this works for you on iMovie07 as well.

  • At startup see a folder with a question mark

    At startup I see a folder with a question mark and the system will not boot. Loaded install disk but it can not find the hard drive?

    Mac Said:
    Additional steps
    If your Mac still starts to a flashing question mark, follow the steps below. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one.
    Select your Mac OS X startup disk with Startup Manager by restarting and holding the Option key. After your Mac starts up, restart again to verify that the flashing question mark does not appear.
    If the issue persists, insert your Mac OS X installation disc. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc.
    MacBook Air note: On a MacBook Air, there are two options for starting up from Mac OS X media: Either connect a MacBook Air SuperDrive to the MacBook Air via the USB port and restart the computer, holding down the C key during startup, or use Remote Install Mac OS X to startup from a system software DVD that's located on a partner computer. Once started up from Mac OS X media, skip to step 3.
    Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
    From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Don't click Continue.
    Select your Mac OS X disk (named "Macintosh HD" by default) in the left side of the Disk Utility window.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click Repair Disk to verify and repair any issues with your Mac OS X startup disk.
    After repairing the disk, try to start up normally.
    Important: If Disk Utility finds issues it cannot repair, you may need to back up as much of your data as possible (or use Time Machine to back up to a different disk), then erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS X. You should back up important files and data before erasing a drive. Erasing deletes everything on the hard disk (including things on your desktop). Also, you can install Mac OS X onto an external disk, start from the external disk, and use Migration Assistant to transfer items from your usual internal Mac OS X startup disk to the external disk, then erase the internal disk and reinstall Mac OS X.
    If the issue persists, and Disk Utility didn't find any irreparable issues, quit Disk Utility, quit the Installer, select your disk when prompted, and restart.
    If the issue continues, reset PRAM. Note: After resetting PRAM, if the computer starts up normally, reselect the startup disk in the Startup Disk preferences.
    If none of these steps resolve the issue, start up from the Mac OS X Installation disc and reinstall Mac OS X.
    if none of this works but you have to format the entire disk, which is not very fun forsomeone, and if you have important data on your disk that you need, how do you do?
    yes I have a solution, but I do not recommend it unless you know what you're doing,
    ask a technician who is this he will help you safely, otherwise send a pm to me.
    first a little info about me, I'm IT technician then a couple of years and have never beena fan of the mac, and will probably not be there, because I think that off "giant optimized"systems have no security, personally, I want the mac to be release an update so it forcing / or remind the user to backup with time machine, so no I will not get me one of your machines, enough about that, I had a client who had this problem, (ps / something allhave to remember is that all customers are idiots and do not know what a computer realy are, that is why it remains "the rule 101"!
    His desk was this apoblemet, and I am recommending not to open up his mac becausethis would guarantee his disappearance, he had also no backups at something so long story short, he was fu ***,,
    However, he had all his business accounts on the computer and much much more, so hemade ​​the choice to give me permission to open up the machine, I went through all theguides that were on the Internet and Disk Utility was not helpful at all, nor disk Wari disc to start up, even when I plug in the drive as an external drive on another mac wanted itabsolutely does not come up.
    However, so when I connected the disk in a PC with Windows 7, install a program thatmade ​​it possible to see the disk in my computer but could not go into it because then it said that there was something wrong, but then I thought for a bit spruce, windows can see all unknown hard disk format "RAW" guidelines for adding, then it's just to make a RAW backup (google it) and Woll! now i have a copy of all his data, would also like to point out that this may take time, so be patient.
    [would also like to point out that if you choose to open the your mac, there is great risk that your warranty disappear, do so at your own risk!],
    so if you really have to have a backup of data you need the following;
    a PC whit windows
    a Controller that convert SATA to USB
    a program that makes creating a driver for HFS + disks
    a back-up software for RAW drives
    and last but certainly not least, patience.

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

  • IDEA!!! Great to see Apple and the Drummer for Logic! What I would like to see???

    Now what I would love to see and have talked to many that feel the same way, some  of my friends work with Aaron Carter, writers, to Kelly Clarkson, Foo Fighters to composers and many want a JOHN WILLIAMS ASSISTANT, maybe thats what it should be called? Assistant or Arranger? Basically, I have seen many take Band in A Box (NO LAUGHING YET), play a riff on the piano, then it puts together some great ok, fair arragements that you never would of thought to do. They then open Omnisphere, BFD (or some drum thing), Trilogy (for bass), and a SOFTWARE ORCHESTRA and they have insta song. Apple would do the best job and really wished they snagged giga studio? I have great ears, can tell CHINA vs AMERICAN 6L6 coke bottles apart, even easier vs EL34, or broken .10 cent capacitor. Which would cost you that glassy~shimmer sound, like fender has, so this should had been swooped up by Apple as it was the WARMEST SOUNDING SAMPLER EVER INVENTED - probably one of a few that have a working MAC copy - -but they were to slow  - by the time they had it, everyone ahd their own, OR they had (TASCAM) problems with security so when you get Kontakt, yeah, it might have great security but your paying for via the ROUND, WARM sound only possible by GIGA and Apple!
    Now, I don't want someone with ZERO TALENT to come in, push a button and poof, a song, they tried with MAGIC GARAGE BAND but never really developed it so all they songs sound the same.
    I would like to see a bass, orchestral, guitar, (although nothing beats playing) and especially an arranger where you lay down some notes and boom, a song is arranged for you.  Apple could do it.  Most that have Pro Tools also have LOGIC and most new hardware has THUNDERBOLT, so, if they put their minds to it, they would grab the pro's, prosumers in an instant and anyone on a PC would switch to mac just for the arranging as J. Wiiliams will play a few notes sometimes, and have an arranger write it out take off for a week or so and come back with a few versions.
    Apple could do that, have a button to push, save but try again>Man, just having a program that throws maybe plugins and so on into the channel and change with the push of a button would be geniuos.  Not to mention, start researching John Lennon, 65, 70, 75, 80 vocal chain, press a button, you have his affects/doubling, et-cetera. Plus Paul, Kurt K., Kelly Clarkson, everything from ROCK to metal to country and teen pop would be dope.
    Then have LOGIC self regulate via the spectrum analizer and change thinks around until it  was full as a great song with the guitar SOLO'd, should sound like poop, but when the rest of the mix is on, magic!
    PEACE.

    HI,
    I'm not quite sure who you think you are addressing here with your idea but this is a user to user forum. Apple don't come here.
    If you want to offer ideas or feedback to Apple, it would be best for you to do it here:

  • Please tell what to do if I see this error while opening an plan or while saving this plan?

    Error messsge: the enterprise global already contains a table named “Enterprise Entry”.
    Do you want to replace the table with the one from the enterprise global, replace all items with duplicates, rename the table in the project, or cancel opening the project.
    Please tell what to do if I see this error while opening an plan or while saving this plan?

    A-K-J --
    The error message indicates that your Project Server administrator has accidentally polluted the Enterprise Global file with local view and/or tables.  The solution does not lie with the user.  It does not really matter what button the user clicks
    in the dialog, since only the Project Server administrator can solve this problem.  To solve the problem, the Project Server administrator must do the following:
    Open the Enterprise Global file editing.
    Click File > Organizer.
    On the right side of the Organizer dialog (in the Enterprise Global file), delete any non-enterprise views.  There should be NO views named Gantt Chart, Resource Sheet, etc.  The only default enterprise view is named Enterprise Gantt Chart, which
    should not be deleted.
    Click the Tables tab.
    On the right side of the Organizer dialog, delete any non-enterprise tables.  There should be NO tables named Entry, Work, Cost, etc.  The only default enterprise table is named Enterprise Entry, which should not be deleted.
    Click the Close button.
    Save the Enterprise Global file.
    Close the Enterprise Global file.
    Close Microsoft Project, relaunch the software, and log into Project Server again.
    After completing the above steps, every PM should also exit Microsoft Project and relaunch the software again.  Hope this helps.

  • Trying to clean up my iMac.  Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder.  Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?

    Trying to clean up my iMac.  Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder.  Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?

    DO NOT remove either folder. DO NOT mess with any OS X system files either. If you have dupliocates check your files in iPhoto, iTunes and your iMovies libraries. Also check your data files, under ALL circumstances stay away from any OS X systems files or you will probably bork your Mac to the point it will not run.

    Windows 7 and iTunes on my Computer.  For Movies and Music  Videos, you hear what someone says before you see their lips move to say it.

    I have looked a little bit more, and it seems as though the video is lagging behind, not the other way around. Video seems choppy, but the audio is playing perfectly. Music Videos are suffering from the same problem as well. Also, when I sync to my iPod Touch 16GB, audio & video match up perfectly.
    I still have no idea how to fix this. Please help.

    Thanks. I am sure you are correct, although I don't recall installing it and I only discovered it after the update to Lion. That is why I thought there was some connection. Anyway, I have deleted the folder and its applications. Thanks again for setting me straight.
