Whole gallery disappear when moving it from another folder

Hope i can get some clues here of something i find more than strange.
I was working on Photoshop and moving some images within Bridge and i noticed my Iphoto Library was inside another subfolder, to clarify i keep it in an external drive. So i grab it (the libray) and drag it outside the other folder when i noticed i was actually copying the whole library outside.
I stop the action and i moved the library instead, then i have a message saying that it was a folder already named 'Iphoto Library' in that location (the half copy one) and if i want to replace it, i press ok to replace, then its copying into new location...a window pops up and reads -error action cannot be continue- and the my whole library disappear. No original one nor even the copy bit, gone..
I search through with every keywords, Trash, even making a search in finder for JPEG bigger than 100kb..
I am talking here about over 20,000 pictures, so it is really strange if i'm not bump even into one image at all, and how a folder can just delete itself, specially a big one like that.
It makes no sense.
Any help?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Here's a tip: choose between iPhoto and Bridge. Using Bridg on photos managed by iPhoto makes it very easy to damage the iPhoto Library. So, one of the other is my first advice.
So i grab it (the libray) and drag it outside the other folder when i noticed i was actually copying the whole library outside.
When you move an item on the same volume then it just moves. When you move an item between volumes then it gets copied. This sounds like you've moved your Library from one volume to another.
Were you doing these moves with Bridge or the Finder?
o it is really strange if i'm not bump even into one image at all, and how a folder can just delete itself, specially a big one like that.
It didn't delete itself, you deleted it, I'm afraid. It sounds like you made a partial copy then copied the partial copy over the original.

Getting error Can't read from the source or disk when moving documents from one folder to another folder in the library

Hi,

Hi Reddy,
If you are moving files in two libraries in different sites, then the error will occur and it is by design that there are limitations on the DAV move commands that the DAV client is respecting.

If you are moving files in the same library, I recommend you to use Wireshark to reveal the error message and enable IIS
Trace Logging for Failed Requests to examine the IIS log file for troubleshooting.

To narrow down the issue scope, I recommend you to test with another library and see if the copy in explorer can work.
Best regards.

Issues with subject line when moving emails to another folder

Hi.
For the past few months I've been having a problem moving groups of emails from my inbox to another created folder. When I move a group of emails to another folder the subject of all the emails swap with each other. The issue seems to be with the iPhone native mail app only as when I connect via iPad or web the emails are correct.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Not that I'm aware of.
Mail.app isn't a particularly scalable database in general, so you might want to look at your workflow.
For better or worse, email is often ill-suited as a general information-storage and transfer mechanism.
You might be able to set up a Rule to perform the move when the message arrives; if the mail messages involved are uniquely identifiable.
It's also possible to implement server-side rules, depending on what you're up to, and what your own mail server or particular your mail provider supports here.
I'm using a combination of these two approaches locally.
Or swap out for a different mail client or a mail-handling package; a package or a tool that's better suited for the scale that you're apparently working at, and the requirements you have.

Moving Stack from one folder to another?

Is there a way to keep a stack together while moving it from one folder to another. When I grab the stack and drop it to a folder, I view the folder and the images are no longer in a stack. It would save me a lot of time if they would stay stacked. Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Well your code is unreadable because you didn't post it properly, but I'd guess you've fallen into the old multiple-delete trap in a new way. It's like this:
To start with you have messages numbered 0, 1, and 2, let's say. So you write a loop that lets i run from 0 to 2 and delete message number i in the loop. What really happens? The first time through the loop you delete message number 0, after which you are left with messages numbered 0 and 1. The second time through the loop you delete message number 1, after which you are left with message 0 only. The third time through the loop you delete message 2, which isn't there and you get that message.
That's just a guess, I didn't have the patience to read that ugly unformatted code. There are two ways to do the multiple delete properly, if that's actually your problem: (1) run the loop upwards from 0 and always delete message 0; (2) run the loop downwards from N-1 to 0 and delete message i.

White Balance Selector Disappears when moved across the image

Hi
I am using LR 4.4 on an iMac.
Does anyone know why the White Balance Selector tool would disappear when moved across an image?
it seems to change to a vertical line with an arror top and bottom.
The areas of the image on which it disappears seem to be consistent, in other words, it disappears on the same portion of the image eveytime.
UPDATE: Since posting the above a few minutes ago I've noticed that my cursor is behaving eractically. For example, on a different image to the one used above, in the library module using the Loupe the cursor changes from a magnifying glass to an arrow pointing to the right. It does this on the same part of the image every time.
Thank you for your help
Regards

Weird cursor problems are a FEATURE of the APPLE os.
There are complaints on the APPLE os system website since 2005.
The last time I checked there were 30 pages of discussions about this on the apple site
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion.
I don't think APPLE has a clue as to how to fix this. It is seen in many apps, photoshop most commonly, lightroom,textedit,exxcel, and others.
Pray that something happens in soon to be released 10.8.4.

Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

Are you perhaps referring to dragging an item out of the Dock and onto the Desktop?
If so, they are intended to poof-disappear when you do that.
The reason - the icons shown in the Dock are a form of alias, not the real item. Any running app will have its icon shown there; and those that do appear there can be made to stick even when the program is quit. This means that there must be a mechanism to get rid of them, else there would eventually be too many. One way is to right-click or Control-click the item, then select Remove from the popup menu that appears. A more convenient way is to just drag them off of the Dock and have them disappear.
If you want to replace an item on the Dock, just drag the item to the Dock, wait for the items already there to make room for it, then drop it onto the Dock. Apps can only be placed to the left of the vertical dashed line; folders can only be placed between the dashed line and the Trash.

When moving material from Uml-zone, we -zone etc.

When moving material from UML-zone, We-zone, etc. Can you get the system to generate individual SU#'s.
I have 30 items of XYZ, I want to move all 30 at one time and generate 30 individual SU#'s......Is there a way?

Yes, this is possible and standard
If you post a material document to place the stock into the interum storage type try LT06 and use the document as a refrence, you will need to maintain the LE quantity in your material masters and the system will automaticaly propose the correct number of SU when you click "palletization".
if you do not maintain the LE you can enter the qty as (for example) 60 X 3000EA / 1 x 2500EA (or whatever unit of measure you use)
This is very standard for WM and easy to do once the configuration is in place and you learn the transactions.
LT06-LT12
Edit: if this doesn't fit for your needs please provide more info about the transactions you currently use to put the stock into the WE-zone and how you are currently moving it out

I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to appletv.

I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to apple tv.

That's because the BBC iPlayer app uses basic AirPlay to show the content, this means the original content is sent to the Apple TV for it to decode rather than mirroring the screen of the iPad where the subtitles are added.

It's not always the best soluce.

Paste in Pages gives a table with every style attributes.
Paste and Match Style gives nine paragraphs of raw text, one by cell, exactly what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Rtf window and converting it to Text.
Running my good old huge script :
--{code}
set the clipboard to the clipboard as text

then Paste, gives three paragraphs with cell's contents separated by TAB characters exactly as what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Text window.

Computer freezes when moving files from USB, or to another partitioned HD

Hello, i've been moving files from two USB's to my Macintosh HD, and when I do that, the computer kinda freezes up, i can move the cursor, but not kinda click anywhere, and then a minute after or something, it gets normal again, but the transfer is going horribly slow. this happens when i move from Macintosh HD, to Macintosh HD 2 (a partitioned one). the files are 2 gb each USB. which means im transferring 4 gb at the time.

I have 6 folders on my hard drive. These folders were created by downloading a bunch of rar files, then extracting them each to their own folder. I have not touched the permissions, so they should be the default of me having read/write and everyone else having read (correct me if i'm wrong).
Using two Finder windows, I drag and drop the six folders from one hard drive to another, and hold down the Apple key so that it moves instead of copies. I let go and it starts copying the files (since there is no "move", but rather a "copy and then delete").
I would recommend you don't use this method to move a lot of files between drives. it's much safer first to copy and if the copy is successful to delete the original afterward. there was a data loss bug in OS X a while back that wold sometimes lead to total loss on both the source and the target when doing this.
this bug is supposed to be long fixed but still...
How is the hard drive you are moving the files to formatted? what yo describe sometimes happens when moving a lot of stuff to or from FAT formatted drives. also, repair both drives in disk utility. repair disk, not permissions.

Images "Disappear" When Moving a Project But Really They'r e Just Invisible

Last night I imported 442 images into a new project. I rated them, and edited about 40-50. This morning I moved the project within the same library. When I did so, all the images disappeared, sort of. The project appeared empty. I let it sit a couple of minutes, and undid the move to no effect.
I checked to see if a filter was blocking the images but it was not the problem. I checked the Project properties and it showed the images were all there (plus, I use referenced files and I hadn't deleted the CF card so worst case scenario I had all my originals). Also, when I displayed all the projects in a browser view window, the project showed up and I could sweep through all the thumbnails in the project browser. But again, if I selected the project and tried to see the images in either the browser, viewer, or split view, nothing showed up. No thumbnails, no file names, no empty thumbnails, nothing. The photos were sort of invisible.
I "solved" the issue by moving an image - any image - from another project into the problem project. Suddenly that photo and all the other images, were visible. Removing the random image did not recreate the problem.
Since I no longer have the problem I'm posting for 2 reasons: (1) to publish the problem and my fix in case anybody gets the same problem, and (2) to see if anybody knows what caused this and if there is a more direct fix than my weird indirect fix. Thanks.

I have had the same thing happen consistently. I import images into a default project. Then when I move the project into an organizational folder... all the images disappear. After a couple of panics, I have now realized that if I stay calm, close Aperture, then open it again, the pictures are all present. Quite a pain in the butt, but at least there is a work around. Albeit a bit scary .
Best,
Jim

How can I preserve the date and time of photos when moving them from iPhone to iPhoto and then to other folders on my computer?

In the past I’ve had no problem moving photos from my iPhone 4 into various folders on my computer while retaining their original date and time. I would import into iPhoto, then drag the photos from iPhoto into other folders via the Finder or Adobe Bridge (which is my principal image organizer). The original date and time of the photo would always travel with the jpeg into iPhoto and then into other folders. However, sometime during a recent session transferring photos in this way, the dates of the photos started to change at the point when I copied them out of iPhoto. Within iPhoto itself, the various original dates of the photos are retained. But in Finder and Bridge, copies of those same photos all carry the same (worthless) date: the date and time that they were imported from my iPhone. I can’t figure out what would have changed on my Mac to make it start re-dating my photos. I was happily dragging and dropping photos, and suddently I started to lose the original dates. Did I inadvertently change some settings? (I am running OS 10.6.8 and using iPhoto 8.)

(I use iPhoto only to import from my iPhone; I organize all my images, including thousands of RAW files, in folders on a big external drive.)
Why are you using iPhoto at all? use image capture or drag and drop the photos
The problem is that the files I am copying are getting stripped of the EXIF metadata
eliminating iPhoto from your work flow will eliminate one oppertunity to have this happen For photos in iPhoto it is best to export them rather than drag an drop them - this assures your EXIF and IPTC data is correct and uptodate
Why would I be able, over many years, to retain EXIF metadata in photos imported from an iPhone--then one day find that the same workflow strips such photos of EXIF data?
Because exporting is the supported way to "export" photos - I never drag and drop photos out of iPhoto and I never use thrid party programs on the photos in the iPhoto library - try exporting as suggested above and see if that is the solution

Error when opening swf from another swf

Hi all,
I'll try to explain this as good as possible.... I made a maze game that works perfectly when I run it by clicking on it's own .swf file, but when I try to access it from another .swf file which is a menu for the games I created, it does not work.
I have absolutely no idea where to look for the error, so my question is: can it be that the main.swf (which is the menu for games) could be the problem, or the problem must be in the maze.swf?
Thanx in advance!

no, all code is in the first frame of actions layer:

Moving messages from one folder to another.

hi there,
I am trying to move messages from one folder to another. It works perfectly when i try to move one message at a time. However when i try to move more than 1 message(for e.g 2 messages) only the first message is being move to the destinated folder and while attempting to move the 2nd message it is throwing IndexOutOfBounds exception.
This is how i am attempting to move the message.
String destFolder = request.getParameter("fold");
String srcFolder = request.getParameter("originalFolder");
Store store = (Store)session.getAttribute("store");
Folder sourceF = store.getFolder(srcFolder);
sourceF.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
if(!(destFolder.equals("null")))
String[] msgs = request.getParameterValues("list");
System.out.println(msgs.length);
Folder destinationF = store.getFolder(destFolder);
destinationF.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
if(msgs != null)
for(int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++)
     int msgNbr = Integer.parseInt((String)msgs);
     int[] msg_id = {msgNbr+1};
     Message[] msg = sourceF.getMessages(msg_id);
     sourceF.copyMessages(msg,destinationF);
     sourceF.setFlags(msg, new Flags(Flags.Flag.DELETED), true);
     sourceF.expunge();
     destinationF.expunge();
session.setAttribute("mails", sourceF);
try
response.sendRedirect("../Inbox.jsp");
catch(IOException ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
This is how i am trying to do it... Please help me i really need this urgently. Kindly help me ASAP.
Help is very much appreciated.
Thank you.

How to mass moving iviews from one folder hierachy to another within PCD?

Hi,SDN fellows.
I found that it is really not user-friendly to move iviews from one folder to another within PCD>
I tried to use Multiple Property Replacement to move some iviews in one folder to different folder hierachy in PCD, but I don't really know how to do so.
Do you mass moving iviews in PCD before? How do you able to do it more efficiently.
Thanks for help.
Kent

Kyle, the PCD Inspector seems able to faster my process a lot.
What if I want to mass edit some properties. (I thought Multiple Property Replacement would able to do some, but it couldn't)
Said I need to change the Id of a set of iviews:
my_iview_a
my_iview_b
my_iview_c
my_iview_d
to
iview_a
iview_b
iview_c
iview_d
but the MPR doesn't able to use the asterisk (*) operation.
Thanks.
Kent
Thanks.
