Why can't I add a new directory under /media?

My /media directory started with /media/dvd and /media/cdrom, and when I first set up my system I added /media/usbstick for removable storage.  But for some reason, I can't add any further directories here.  For example, if (as root) I enter
mkdir /media/iPod
I get the error message
mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/iPod': No such file or directory
Does anybody know what's going on, and how I can circumvent this behaviour?
Thanks,
-A.

Are you saying that automounter only is the new custom? Quoted from that site you linked.
/media
A generic mount point for removable media like CD-ROM, USB, Floppies etc
I don't see automounters mentioned in that statement. Why do you even care? I can mount my USB sticks even to /opt if I want to. :D

  • Why Can't I Add a New Page To My WP Site?

    I have a Wordpress site. I wanted to add a new page to it. However, when I try, I am able to type inside of the "Title" box & I am able to type inside of the "Post Excerpt (Meta Description)" box. However, I cannot type inside of the main body box where the actual content of my page would appear.
    This seems to be a browser issue because I can do it if I use Internet Explorer. Why does Firefox prevent me from editing or adding a new page to my Wordpress site?
    Thanks.

    No. I cannot even get the flashing cursor to appear in that box.

  • Why can't I add a new contact from the phone app?

    I am trying to add a new contact from a call I got this am.  I get to the contact screen but I can add anything - ie no keyboard pops up to type anything in.  I also can not use the copy function to copy the number into the contacts app. 
    This is TERRIBLE!!  As a person who is on the phone for a living, I need to capture numbers as I get those calls!!
    Has anyone found a solution to this problem with IOS 7?
    I will probably go to the genius bar this afternoon....
    Thanks

    Try resetting your phone:
    Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  You will not lose any data or current settings.

  • Why can't I add my new iPod to my devices

    My husband recently bought an iPod nano 7th gen for me using his credit card online. It seemed that it has been pre-registered under his name even if it was shipped to an address under my name. It took a while before I was able to change the name on it - from his to mine - but even if I was finally able to do so, I don't seem to have an option to add it to my list of devices. "Add device" simply won't show in "Manage my account" tab. Why is that? How can I add it to my list of devices and thereby have it included as well in my Find iPhone app? All my Apple devices (iPhones and iPad) were bought by my husband, using his credit card, by the way, but this is the first time I'm having difficulty registering a device under my own name. Please help. Thanks

    No. I cannot even get the flashing cursor to appear in that box.

  • Why can't I add a new bookmark, all of a sudden

    I am unable to add new bookmarks. This happened a day or two ago. I did the reset toolbar thing in Safe Mode, but it didn't help.

  • Why can't I add HD videos to my iPod touch?

    So I recently bought an iPod touch, and I haven't had trouble with it until now. I downloaded a free TV show extra thing and it's in HD & SD, and it downloaded fine and everything. But when I tried to add it to my iPod, a popup comes up with the message: "Blah blah blah" was not copied to the iPod "Michaela's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    Why? I tried to do the "Advanced Settings" and convert it, but the convert option is grayed out and I can't choose it. I thought the iPod touch could play HD (and I do have another HD video on it currently), so why can't I add this new HD/SD video to my iPod? And I know there's enough space because I have 24.6 GB free space.

    It's the screen format see below.
    The iPad and iPhone 4 can play High Definition (HD) content and Standard Definition (SD) content. iPods and the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS can play Standard Definition (SD) content. To find what video formats are supported, see the Tech Specs page, click your device's product family, and then your specific model. All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.

  • HT201087 Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app?  Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking.

    Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app?  Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking. 

    I have an iPhone and occasionally use it for photos, but my main camera is NOT an iPhone.  To be forced to go outside Apple for a product when Apple had perfectly good products available is ludicrous.  But it is what it is, apparently.

  • Why can't I add narration now ?

    I have added narration in the past on previous versions of Premiere elements and on Pre 10 but in the last 2 weeks I get an error when I click on the red record button I get a error message that my audio hardware selection does not have any input channels and I should go to Preferences, Audio Hardware to correct this.
    I go to Preferences Audio hardware and and it shows Premiere elements WDM Sound and next box has ASIO setting. I click on these and I see no other possibilities or choices.
    I still have Pre 8  loaded and the narration will not work now on it with the same error.
    What could cause this after narration has always worked in the past?

    Bill I believe I have answered your questions If not get
    back to me and I will try. I am a Snowbird in a motorhome traveling in AZ. And
    the internet comes and goes from time to time. And being a senior my computer
    skills leave me at a disadvantage. I really appreciate you trying to help me.

    Welcome to the forum. What is the make/model of your mic.? What is the connection type? What is the make/model of your sound card/chip? Do you have the latest driver for that sound card/chip installed? In a program, like Windows Recorder, does the mic. work fine? In Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager, does your mic. show up with no errors, or warnings? What is the ASIO setting now? Good luck, and please let us know a bit more. Hunt

  • Why can't I install the newer version of Flash when I already have the older one?

    My virus software is turned off. I have Flash currently on my computer. In the troubleshooting page I can see the clouds in the picture so I know my current flash is working.  I went into the internet settings for add-ons and the flash is currently enabled.  Why can't I install the newer version of Flash? I tried the run and save option and it still didn't work. I can see the installer in my downloads folder. But, all I get is a black blank box that does nothing. What else can I try to get the installer to actually install the updated version of flash?

    Try the offline installer(s)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player for Mac OS X

  • HT201386 Why can't I add a title to a photo anymore?

    Why can't I add a title to a photo anymore in Iphoto editing?
    Thanks,

    For a transition to work, you need handles... basically, enough footage to overlap each other so that the transition can grab from both sides... your clip is merely 7 frames, way too short to be able to add a transition...
    I've used the "joining two pieces of fabric" analogy before, but I think it was too girly.. Perhaps another way to think about it, is to think of a "dovetail joint" used in wood working... the two pieces of wood need to grab onto each other in order to hold together...
    Anyhow, doing a quick search to perhaps better explain, I found this:

  • Why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?

    why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?  I have adobe acrobat pro XI.  I can open a pdf in acrobat pro and am able to add text to a pdf, but when I open a pdf in firefox, the "add text" option is not available.

    When you install Acrobat XI you are also installing Reader for use in the browser. Reader is "sandboxed", or as it says in the Preferences, it is in "Protected Mode". Acrobat does not understand the concept of running in sandboxed memory (sandbox is a security feature to prevent the bad guy from exploiting a memory error and getting into a memory address where they can do damage to your computer) so to help protect Acrobat users the same way Reader users are protected we just install Reader along with Acrobat, but it is only used in the browser (part of this is because the bad guys use web sites as their primary method of distributing corrupted PDF files that can cause problems).
    That said, because you are in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled prior to being posted to the web site (or opened in the browser). Once the file is Reader Enabled you should be able to add the text annotations.

  • Why can't I post a new topic in the Leopard discussions.

    The option is available in other Apple discussions, but for some reason it's not an option for me in the Leopard area.
    I just want to ask a simple question about why Firefox is now launching every time I restart my computer, but don't want to do so in a discussion about Final Cut or iLife or any of the other forums where posting a new topic is an option because that would be bad etiquette. At the same time, I'm not given much of an option.

    Hi dddnlb!
    "Why can't I post a new topic in the Leopard discussions."
    The info posted below is also available in the Announcement How to Post a New Topic
    If you have a Technical question about Apple Hardware, Programs, Services, Technology, Software, Applications, Products, etc, from this page Discussions - Forum Home, select an appropriate Category from one of the sixteen divisions.
    For example, under Mac OS X Related Software, choose the Category Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
    On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, or Using Mac OS X Leopard.
    Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
    But some may have only one, two, or three.
    For example, the Safari Category page, has three choices listed under Forum / Category:
    Safari For Windows
    Safari for Mac Support forum
    Safari 4 (Beta).
    And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
    From a Category page, select an appropriate Forum to post in.
    On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
    More info here How Is Discussions Content Organized?.
    Edit: I have requested that a Host, relocate your Topic to a more appropriate Forum.
    As it will be transferred, it is not necessary for you to repost elsewhere, at this time.

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, your issue is you cannot create folder in Windows 7, right?
    Did you fix it?
    This issue might be caused by corrupted system file.
    If I am right and you haven't resolve your issue, we could try the following method:

  • Why can't I get a new ringtone (song) on my iphone 5c ?

    Why can't I get a new ringtone (song) on my iphone 5c?

    Did you purchase the ringtone or make it yourself by taking an excerpt from a song?
    If taking an excerpt from a song, it must be 30 sec or less. Once you get the 30 sec clip, you have to create an AAC version of the clip. Open the folder with the AAC version of the clip and change the file extension to .m4r I believe. Then double click the new file and it will automatically be loaded in the "tones" folder. You can then open the "tones" folder in iTunes and drag it to your iPhone which is connected to iTunes on your computer.

  • Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC?

    Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC?
    Nothing works. I've tried several options to make a Graphic Style. Even tried to copy another and change it.
    Kindly Regards
    Christina Saugmann

    Hi
    It was a simple fillcolor with opacity. It is as if it doesnt respond. I can clic the symbol for a new layer, but nothing happens. I've dragged the style from appearance-box, to symbol for new style - Nothing. I've dragged the box directly to Graphic Styles - again - nothing. I've tried with my CS4 that worked. But not in CC.
