Yosemite: Can't create smart folders at all

Through all the Yosemite Betas, up to and including the 10.10.2 release, I'm unable to create smart folders - either through searching for files in Finder and using the "Save" button, or using opt-cmd-N to create a new smart folder.
The "Save" button does absolutely nothing if pressed.

Just to clarify, Photoshop CC has not been released yet. It will come out on June 17.
What you have now is Photoshop 13.x as per the subscription model (»Abo«) and it's called Photoshop CS6. When Photoshop 14.x is released on June 17, then it will be called "CC".
It's not clear—at least to me—which images, if any, you have selected in Bridge when you hit the »Speichern« (Save) button.
Remember that a Collection is nothing more than a saved search, i.e. a saved collection of selected search results (hits).
Could you elaborate on what it is you want to save as a collection?

I want to sort all my bookmarks alphabetically but can't. You only let me drop a bookmark into an already-existing folder. And if that is the only way, how can I create new folders?

With the iPod connected to the computer go to the Music pane for the iPod in iTunes and check the box that says sync only checked songs. The check the songs you want synced and click on Sync. For more info see:

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

Can't create playlist folders on ipod classic 120gb

Hi Everyone!
I have an ipod 120gb classic since Jan. and have synced music on it and have it organized with folders and then playlists in them. Now I am trying to add more music and can't create new folders. I highlight my ipod, click on File>New Playlist Folder and it creates one in the itunes playlist area instead. I can click on File>New Playlist and it will create one on the ipod (not in the itunes area like the folder one does.) I can drag playlists from itunes and drop them on the ipod. But when I try to drag an itunes playlist folder with playlists in it, just a playlist is created with the folder's name. On the ipod it will not have the songs in playlists, just in abc order. I honestly don't remember how I did create the folders I do have, but I don't know of any other way than what I'm doing now.
I called Apple support and the guy spent over 30 minutes with me (after I searched high and low through the discussion forum.) He tried on his end and was getting the same results. I even tried reinstalling itunes and did a reinstall of an earlier version of itunes and all that entailed with negative results.
If there's anyone out there than can help me I would greatly appreciate it because I do not like to have my music in lists but organized in folders on my ipod such as Pop, Country, Romantic, etc. I know this ipod can organize into folders since I did it earlier
Thanks!!

Hi Everyone!
First thanks to you Jeff for your help also. I have now resynced (is that a word? LOL) my ipod with folders that way I want. From the replies I got I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong which wasn't the way itunes worked and the way I thought it should Part of my problem was that I had too big of a time span between syncings of my ipod, I had changed my itunes playlist, and I must have used my desktop computer to first load some of the songs rather than my laptop. So when the message came up when I had to change my settings I paniced when it said it was going to erase everything. Your comments sure did help jog my memory since I am a fairly new classic ipod owner!
So for those of you who would like your music sorted into folders and then your separate playlists in them, this is what I'm now doing (translation--what I learned to do!) 1. In itunes make your playlist folder, and then copy each of the playlists you want in it. Ex. folder-Christmas; playlists in it--The Chipmunks Christmas, Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Eve, etc. Do that for each kind of folder you want. (I ended up with 17 different folders!) 2. Connect your ipod and select to sync selected playlists, not manual. Go to the music tab and check sync music, selected playlists, making sure everything is checked that you want to sync including the folders themselves. 3. Disconnect your ipod when it says its completed. 4. When you want to sync additional music or folders put them in the itunes playlist. connect your ipod, make sure your setting is still on sync selected music. 5. When you click on the music tab make sure everything is checked that you added new and also the music that is already on your ipod. When itunes syncs it, only the new music will be added so the time will be only for the new stuff.
Lesson learned--Keep your itunes playlist area exactly the same as you want it on your ipod and keep the setting at sync selected playlists making sure everything is always checked that should be on the ipod.
Again, thanks for listening and I hope this helps others as well.
Have a Great Summer!

Bug 11.1.1.1: Can't create smart-list into Sample App

Hi,

How can I create Smart List into Sample App? Any idea?

Hi,
Is it is not a bug because I can create smart lists, if you click create it should open a popup window, are you getting a popup window? if not maybe your security is blocking it.
Cheers

How can one create bookmark folders?

How can one create bookmark folders in Firefox on a Samsung Galaxy S4? I have tried a couple of the suggested apps in Google Play Store but can't get them to interface with Firefox. Thanks for your help!!

You would need to set up Firefox Sync and manage your bookmarks on desktop Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

Can Smart Folders include "all" or "any" criteria?

Hi there everybody,
A question for you all. When I create a smart folder it uses the criteria I choose and asumes that I want to find files/images, etc. that meet "all" of the criteria (for example Mail Smart mailboxes can be created that meet "any" criteria you choose, thereby broadening your search, instead of "all" criteria that limits your search).
Since Finder's Smart Folders create a search based on "all" criteria, it limits my search, but I want to broaden my search to include other criteria (meets "any" of my chosen criteria, or meets this "or" that criteria). Can I do this with Smart Folders?
Also, can I tell a Smart Folder to grab a Smart Mailbox and include it in my Smart Folder search?
My ultimate goal is to use Tiger to create a project folder with contacts, calendars, emails and files associated together. Then there would be no need to worry about more software, worries of integration with iApps, etc.
Thanks everybody. Hope this generates good discussion.

No. Smart Folders are very simple by design.
You will need to wait for a new version of the OS to allow that functionality or access the index with another tool to do more advanced boolean searches.

Can't save Smart Folders

Hi all,
I saw an article online about Smart Folders and realized I've never used this feature! Unfortunately, it's not working for me.
I selected New Smart Folder, and chose Kind->Any and Last Opened->Today. But, when I click Save and the save dialog appears, the whole window freezes and I have to relaunch the finder to get rid of the window.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can edit them even more easily using Property List Editor, if you have that installed.
I tried making a smart folder with Activity Monitor running to see if I could spot anything interesting. All I noticed was that both Finder and Windowserver were more active as I created and saved a new one (and mds of course as the search was was done). So that wasn't very enlightening. The only other thing that occurs to me is perhaps something has gone wrong with the Saved Searches folder itself (it's in your home Library folder), since that is the default place to save to. I tried copying my folder to another drive, then trashed the original. When I relaunched the Finder and created a new Smart Folder the Finder had created a new Saved Searches folder. If that doesn't work either, you can trash your creation and put the original back.

How can I create a array with all files from a directory

How can I create a array of files or varchar with all files from a directory?

I thought the example could be improved upon. I've posted a solution on my blog that doesn't require writing the directory list to a table. It simply returns it as a nested table of files as a SQL datatype. You can find it here:

Apple states
How can I create a page that aggregates my podcasts?
If you have multiple podcasts listed in the iTunes Store, the iTunes staff can create a single page that lists all of them in one place. We call this page an “artist page.” Note that a podcast can only appear on one artist page.
To request an artist page, navigate to one of your podcasts, click on Report a Concern, and select Remove a Podcast. In the dialog box, explain that you would like an artist page, give us the exact name of the artist (please don’t include “Inc,” “LLC,” etc.), and list the exact feed URLs or links to your podcasts.

I hope two is enough and if not that someone contacts me and maybe even changes the info on the above link.
Thank you for your input!

How can I create mail folders?

I'm hearing with iOS5, we can now create new mail folders in a pop account. Can someone please explain how because I don't see it

Anyone? Can you or not?

User can't create new folders

A user on the network can't create any new folders on the network or the hard drive itself, message reads that the system has reserved these names etc. but it's rejecting any name regardless

Need much much more detail.
"A user"
What type of user? Windows, Mac, OS Version, etc.
"create folders on the network"
I assume we're talking about creating folders on an OS X Server?
If so, what OS X Server version? Any specfics you can provide about the config would be helpful
"or the hard drive itself"
What hard drive? Are we talking about the user's hard drive or is the server logging in locally to the server?
"reserved names, etc"
An exact error would be helpful
Please take some time provide as much information as possible and also what steps you may have taken to troubleshoot.
Thanks

Can't create new folders

One day, just randomly my laptop stopped letting me create new folders. when i right click and go to "new" the option is simply not there, and when i open windows explorer and click new folder, nothing happens. I have to copy a folder, delete its contents, and rename it every time i wish to create a new folder. I have made no major changes to my computer; the only things I have done is download music from itunes, and a few new video games. I cannot find anywhere that it could be.
Also, I might add I use Comodo firewall, wich not only blocks things from acessing the internet, but from files acessing other files, registry, etc. I didn't know if this could be affecting it. When i instal something new I have to allow it anywhere from 3-8 times for each different thing. I've had it for a few weeks now, and noticed no problem with my laptop because of it other than constantly having it allow things when i first open them.
I have tried system recovery and ran a virus scan with avast and registry mechanic, and none of these have fixed it. The only thing i found online was a guy telling me ot download his program and install it to my registry (however, i did not trust this, because i could not find information of the name of the file he told me to install anywhere else, so i figured it would do more harm than good)

Satellite A665-S5170
I'll assume you're talking about Windows Explorer. If the problem is elsewhere, it's a different story.
The problem just started today.
With a little luck, a System Restore will fix that registry problem.
   What is System Restore?
Otherwise, open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to this key.
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New
In the right pane, look at the data for the value (Default). It should be this.
   {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}
If not, attach a picture of what you see (as I have).
