Where are the folders?

I just switched to Lion.   I had had all my files neatly organized into folders and now Lion has splattered my files all over the place!   I don't feel like sorting through 1000 files to find the group I had originally filed in a file called "Finances" for example.     Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with this headache!
(I think Apple blew it with Lion)
thanks!
Frank

Switching to Lion should not result in any changes to folders you had previously.  Please explain exactly how you had things set up before your upgrade to Lion and what you are seeing since you upgraded.

  • HT4796 I can't see where are the folders that I had in my old PC on my new Mac after the migration. Even when I see it on my Mac using the search box, it doesn't appear with the right order of my old PC. I need some help, please.

    I used the Migration utilitie from Lion and eventhough I know the folders are there (with a quick search I find images etc) the proper order is not displayed.

  • Where are the FOLDERS? Creative MediaSou

    I bought muvo v200 and get Creative MediaSource Organizer but...there is always but...
    First----I read all post regarding to this problem but now one have describe problem in detail so I?ll try to do that.
    I am downloading all my music with Azureus and all my songs came to my disk as specified folders so I want to be able to put that folders into v200 from "my playlist" option in Creative MediaSource Organizer.
    I want to add downloaded songs from that folder into playlist(ok that can do) , edit them (this too) and then put them on my v200 as folders, NOT in alphabetical order WITHOUT folders. I have a huge amount of songs begin with A A2 B2 -sides and position on vinyl. So when I move them to my v200 it all mixed up. I don?t want to use drag and drop option to achieve this because Azureus make at beginning of downloading complete folder and files, even though these files are not completed, so I want to move complete folders to my playlist and then move them AS FOLDERS to v200 ( I don?t want to make a double copy on my hard for downloaded folders and then do transferring-it will waist my Gigabytes ). So main problem is FOLDERS FROM PLAYLIST TO v200. If this is impossible I don?t understand what is worth having a folder function on v200 if Creative MediaSource Organizer can't make them when transferring.
    AND
    Is there sync function v200 with PLAYLIST. I delete some songs from player so when I connect it back I want that song delete from my playlist too ( it will be very hard if I have to do it manually).
    I hope that these function with folder and synchronization are possible because it'sll be huge mistake for big company as CREATIVE not to make them. (maybe upgrade soon please)
    or some other program !!!!!!!

    I'm 99% sure you can't do it. Perhaps someone else can confirm.
    I remember a thread about using MediaSource to copy tracks to the MuVo with folders, but I can't find it unfortunately.Message Edited by SSR on 05-06-2005 05:59 AM

  • IOS4 for 3GS: So where are the folders?

    I upgraded my 3GS to the operating system but i don't see anywhere that i can move apps into folders. Does anybody else see it?

    Touch any icon until they start to "shake", then drag an icon onto another you want in the same folder, then continue adding to the folder by dragging...when you are done, press the home key...you are limited to 12 apps per folder, unfortunately....

  • Upgraded to Lion - where are the Library & Application Support folders ?

    Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

    They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

  • Where are the print drivers found?

    I have a Brother HL 2040 laser printer. THe Brother website has a version 2.2 driver for this printer. I downloaded and installed. When I add the printer I keep getting version 1.4 driver.
    Can someone tell me where are the drivers found on my iMac?
    Also I am trying to get this to print via a Linksys wireless print server. Do I use the ip address for the print server or the printer when adding this.
    I tried using the print server IP but I get a "printer paused" issue. I think I need the new print driver.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    I have not gotten the driver to update to the newest version. I deleted the Brother Folders as mentioned in the replies, no joy. No matter what I do it ends up 1.4 not 2.0.
    Version 1.4 worked OK for a USB connection, so I went forward with trying to get the network connection going. By trying every combination available I got it to work.
    What HP jetdesk-socket has to do with my printer...escapes me. But that combination with version 1.4 driver works.
    I will leave well enough alone.
    I have 2 other computer to update to SL.....maybe.

  • Help, where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop CS6

    Okay, I admitt, .... I am an idiot that is new to Adobe Photoshop.
    But help the new girl out, here.... Please...
    Where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6.
    I searched Adobe Help in Dutch already but they point me towards options that doesn't excist.
    Maybe they were there in Adobe CS5 and I am reading an older version of the documentation...
    But in CS6 I can only find the option Render and no Render Preferences...
    Thanks !!

    Adobe changed the way video is rendered in CS6. Adobe Media Encoder in now used in CS6 only a subset of the Adobe's full Adobe Media Encoder is included in CS6 is a dll. I do not think you can add new Rendering Presets however you can change some setting when you use the supplied Reddening Presets.  Perhaps if you have the Adobe suite and have the full Adobe Media Encoder you can create some presets and add them to Photoshop Rendering presets.  I seem some compliants about CS6 Quicktime rendering presets lack the power of CS5.  The Rendering presets seem to be stored in sub folders in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder"

  • Where are the pictures found in the Adobe Photoshop 10 organizer?

    Nov. 29, I had my computer repaired from a trojan, & I figured out that everything i've done since Sept. 13th was gone because when the computer guy was fixing it, he tried to put in the new MicroSD card reader, but he had to put an old one back in (from Sept.) as the new one had wrong connections.
    Then, when he started the PC he only had the C drive (& my documents and pictures are on the A drive). He turned it off and realized he accidentally disconnected one of the mirror hard drives for Drive A. He had to turn it off and open it again and reconnect the cable that was disconnected.
    During that moment perhaps a line in the drive had become corrupted. So, I restored through Carbonite, hoping I'd get back almost everything (or at least whatever was done being backed up). However, I lost quite a few pictures.
    Tuesday, however, I noticed that the pictures I lost were imported into the organizer for Adobe Photoshop 10, which is on the C drive, so I'm hoping the pictures are still there, even if they are thumbnails (I assume they would be)! But where are the pictures found in the Adobe Photoshop 10 organizer? I assume in a folder somewhere? Am I able to copy them? (A low quality image, is better than no image!)

    The thumbnail cache is separate and lives in the system files.
    You could try a new catalog - it doesn’t involve any duplication.
    Click: File >> Catalog
    Click the New button
    Give your catalog a name e.g. My Catalog2 (or whatever you prefer)
    Check the box Import Free Music - that will bring in the Adobe MP3 tracks used in slideshows
    Then click OK
    When the new blank catalog opens click: File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files & Folders
    Navigate to your root folder (normally Pictures or My Pictures or wherever you put your photos) then press Ctrl+A to select all sub folders or make sure the checkbox is marked.
    Click Open or Get Media
    Wait for Elements to complete the import, accept all keyword suggestions (select all) and then wait for thumbnails to finish generating.
      N.B. You may not get all the metadata (keywords etc) but in view of the problems you have had it may be your best hope.

  • In OS 10.5.8 where are the controls or code for...

    In OS 10.5.8 where are the controls or code for selecting dragging/moving files and folders copying and pasting kept?
    Is it part of one of the system apps?
    Mine do not work any fixing tips?

    Good call on on throwing away finder plist It worked on my desktop/screen saver problem...But, it didn't fix the dragging and moving items/folders and paste.
    My network is still confused too.
    I threw out the desktop plist as well still nothing...
    I did run the anti-virus Macscan to check just for peace of mind it did find a spyware from CNN...
    Thanks for your help at least one thing worked so far.
    Any other suggestions, besides reloading OS...?

  • Where are the printer profiles in Mt. Lion 10.8.5? I want to install paper manufacturer's profiles.

    I want to install paper manufacturer's profiles. All of my existing profiles were carried over when I upgraded to 10.8 but i do not find anything like the previous Color Sync folder. Where do I put the new profiles? And why can't Spotlight find the existing ones? BTW, I can't find them on my iMac running 10.7.5 either.

    Where are the rest?
    Depends. For Epson printers, they're in the /Library/Printers/EPSON/ folder, and that itself varies. For the Stylus Pro 4900, they're in that folder, and then another couple of subfolders deep in InjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles. Sometimes they're tucked away in a .plugin or .framework file within the EPSON folder, or one of its subfolders. In short, they're not always easy to find. At least not with Spotlight.
    To make your search way easier, download the free EasyFind. Turn on the check boxes to look within Package contents, and Invisible Files & Folders. There's nothing on the drive that can hide from you. Then do a search for .icc .
    But unless your objective is to remove a long list of profiles you'll never use, there's no need to find these other obscure locations OS X lists profiles from. Just put the ones you want to use in either the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder (if you want all users of that Mac to have access to the profiles), or the ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder (the tilde means your user account). Only you will have access to the profiles if placed there.

  • What is virtual file system in sharepoint, where are the site pages stored?

    I came across this paragraph in Inside Microsoft SharePoint 2010; page 126 :-
    When SharePoint Foundation provisions the Proposals document library,it creates a folder named Proposals at the root of the site and then it creates a child folder named Forms.
    Inside the Forms folder, it creates a set of site pages with names such as DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, AllItems.aspx, and Upload.aspx. The reason that SharePoint Foundation creates site pages inside the Forms folder for each
    new list and document library is that these site pages will provide users with the forms they will use to add and manage content.
    My question is that:-
    1) What us the root of the site means? 
    2) Are the pages for edit/add/allitems created in filesystem OR in the content database?
    3)Suppose we create new sitepages, then where are they stored? In filesystem or in content db?

    Hi,
    For All above queries the data and site pages are stored in content database
    Root folder: A folder created for the document library under the web (sub site) and another folder created as child folder named Forms. Site pages are created in SharePoint content database
    SitePages(Add/display/edit): These pages are created in SharePoint content database
    Note: The SharePoint will not create any physical aspx page OR folder in the file system while creating document library.
    Hope this will help you.
    Senthilrajan Kaliyaperumal
    But the book mentions that:-
    When SharePoint Foundation provisions the Proposals document library,it
    creates a folder named Proposals at the root of the site and then it creates a child folder named Forms. 
    Is
    this wrong? Are the folders created in filesystem or content db? If the files are not supposed to go into the filesystem, then why are the folders created?

  • HT2500 Where are the files of past mail kept in the Mail program.

    I want to do an additional backup of my email on Mail.  Where are the files of stored past mails kept?  In the same Mail.app?
    Thanks
    Gil

    Hi Gil,
    On Mail...
    First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

  • SYSLOGD gone wild - where are the files?

    Hey all,
    Yesterday I had 15GB of free HD yesterday, it told me today that I was down to 100MB.
    Confused - because I haven't added any files, I check the activity monitor and found that SYSLOGD was running, and using an absurd amount of processor and disc access.
    I searched on it, and it seems to relate to Time Machine, which I'm not using.
    SO... I rebooted, and now it's not running any more.  BUT - the hard disc space is still gone, and I don't know where the files are that I need to delete to free it up.
    I've loaded a disc scanning utility to try to find where a new 15GB file might be hiding, but I'm thinking it's in the hidden area of the disc.
    QUESTION 1 : Where are the files SYSLOGD wrote and how can I delete them?
    QUESTION 2:  What made it run, and how can I keep it from happening again?
    Thanks!

    If you're looking for trash sounds, those are located in /System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/ . If you're wanting to change the put stuff in trash and empty trash sounds, then follow these steps.
    Convert your sounds to aif, save them in some convenient location.
    Replace the two sound files *"move to trash"* and *"drag to trash"* inside the Finder and Dock folders, respectively, inside the SystemSounds folder, with the one you want for putting things in the trash and the *"empty trash*" one inside the Finder folder with the new one for emptying the trash.
    Ensure that you rename the new ones the same as the originals. (I usually copy the originals and add a .bak suffix so I can restore the sounds to their original condition.)
    OPTION-click the Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch.
    Do note that if you'll have to authenticate to copy, rename, and replace these files. I use the Terminal with the sudo command to affect the changes.

  • Where are the actual files on the  Time Machine backup hard drive?

    If I take my time machine back up hard drive and hook it up to another computer, I cannot find my files. For instance, the files that would be in my home folder (pictures, music and movies).
    When I open the finder window and go to my user folder, all I see are the folders, but they are aliases.
    I get the message that the volume "documents" cannot be found.
    So where are these files?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not running leopard on the other computers, and so Time Machine is not available.
    On the other computers, I need to have classic support, so I haven't installed Leopard, so that is not an option.
    I just don't understand why these files do not show up on other computers. At some level, if I can't access the files on other computers, it nearly defeats the purpose of Time Machine.
