one of my folders on my desk is in multicolored points

Hello

I just noticed one of my folders is weird. Instead of looking like the regular folder icon, it is a square made of colored dots. When I move it to the desktop, it seems normal, once again, but when I stop to move, it looks like this!

Help please!

Thank you

Can empty you the contents into another folder, and then delete the stray.   And if the new folder has the same, which would indicate the problem is in the content.

  • Sometimes, without apparent reason, I can't access one of the tiles on my desk.

    * Original title: using Windows 8

    Sometimes, without apparent reason, I can't access one of the tiles on my desk. The tiles will work initially, I can go on Chrome or word, etc. or access any tile on my desk, but then without apparent reason, that it stop and I won't be able to access any more tiles. By clicking on them, doesn't matter.  Similarly I can't log in, unless I press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and then go on logout. But I can't connect the regular channel. Another problem is that if I try to go on my documents, I get a message saying "cannot open this file". It says that the file being deleted or moved, and then the small downstairs for my documents icon disappears. If I turn my computer and turn it back resets itself and I will be able to use the tiles on the desktop and access my documents, etc. But then after a while for no apparent reason it happens again, and I won't be able to access the tiles on the desktop, etc..

    Sorry, if this is insane, or if I'm missing something really obvious here. I probably didn't explain the issue very well and I don't know that much about computers. But it is obviously a question and I was wondering if there was a way to solve this problem.  Thank you.

    Refresh your PC goes like this:

    • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
    • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
    • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
    • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
    • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

    "When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.

  • After April 2013 lost all emails in one of my folders (about 5,000 emails...)

    When I open Thunderbird earlier one of my folders (called "Inbound") did not immediately open it was empty and was process messages that it (don't know if it's the right way to say it). It took a minute or two and when he finished in there made more recent email from April 2013.
    In other words, there are more than 5,000 missing emails.

  • Help-My changes were lost on one of my folders

    I moved accidentally one of my folders in Lightroom labeled "2014" in another folder "2015".  I moved it back manually in the finder, then add the file using Lightroom + add a folder.  All the images are there but no change!  Below is a screenshot to clarify how to order.  Please notify.

    Thank you very much!

    Although we can solve this problem through Lightroom, it would be much easier if I was sitting in front of your computer on the Internet.

    At this point, you're probably better off find the version of Time Machine to your catalog file before this error has occurred, and that restoration and then ensuring that the photos are where they are supposed to be. Then, open the catalog file.

    One of the mistakes you keep to do is that you think that the Finder and Lightroom must match, and they will not match if you have moved/renamed/deleted photos outside of Lightroom, like you did. In the future, please remember that this is not a good idea to move outside of Lightroom photos, unless you fully understand the process of reconnection. In addition, the original photos on your hard drive are NEVER the edited version. This is how works the Lightroom. The modified version is visible in Lightroom, unless you export photos (which is irrelevant to this topic.

  • New to Lr and all my folders on my desk somehow!

    I am new to Lightroom and not most computer savy guy in the room. I used the plugin to move my library to open. He succeeded, but I went to referenced before using the plugin. I spent the last hours of grooming since my projects imported into Lightroom and files and not collections. I've read online a suggestion not to mess with files and use collections if my plan is to have a folder for each year that holds all of this years pictures and a collection for each year filled with collections that represent what were once projects.

    The Office on my MacBook Pro was not visible due to open windows, etc... Things began to slow down and when I hid everything from the office, I see that all these files are not in my photos folder but on the desktop. I don't know how it happened when I created new folders I have them created in my pictures folder.

    The solution is as simple as opening a finder window and drag and drop of these folders on the desktop in the pictures folder? What has caused this in the first place and how can I prevent this from happening in the future when you import a memory card.

    My apologies for these basic questions, but I have always been more than a user of my computer as an organizer - if that makes sense. The simpler and more intuitive the better - one of the reasons why I went with a Mac when I started with computers. Don't want to move things without knowing what exactly what I'm doing and potentially make things worse.

    Yes, the location of the folder is easily corrected.

    Using the Finder, move the folders from your "office" to a more appropriate folder.

    Then go to the records of the library made LR module Panel right click on the above files now 'missing' and say LR where you move them to LR will reconnect everything under the folder.

    When you import your images from memory cards, pay attention to your 'destination folder' on the right side of the import dialog box.

    Worth years of images in a single folder is probably a bad idea in drops in file system performance when too many files are placed in a single folder. Organization of individual days would be preferable, organizing a month would be better than nothing.

  • Import one or more folders

    I am usually given a HD with images which are organized into folders:

    -Interviews

    Larry > Gym

    Larry > outside

    Bob

    Brenda

    -B - Roll

    Building

    The customer service

    Counter > money > Close Up

    Counter > greeting customers

    I like to keep that structure when can I import in first, but it seems just to empty the images in the media pool.

    Is it possible to import your footage files and force the CS6 first to keep your folder structure and create locations accordingly?

    Picked this up from Jeff Greenberg at the cow.

    I am very frustrated so please forgive me if I come across rude. I've had this phone for almost 5 months now and I have learned so little. I'm really embarrassed to post what may appear as a basic matter to some. Then I found a blessing today when I came across this forum. How I got here, really, I honestly don't remember. All I can say is that I am relieved to have found you all. Before I carry on my home, can I ask another question you kind people? It took me over an hour to type this little bit, and I know it's partly because I'm partially frustrated because I'm not used to type more than a quick, why in heaven text' name don't I see my blinking cursor so I can scroll up/down should I must make a correction? I promise not to be a burden for everyone (glancing at my notebook filled with a lot of comments/questions) so from time to time I can post some in the hope that I can actually not regret leaving the saleswoman at Verizon Wireless (within 2 days) to convince me to make this purchase. I also want to say 'Thank you' in advance to accept my membership and have any idea about my question (s).

    Yes it is possible. To go on Easter egg hunts every time with this phone. Open the folder and then long press the top title bar. This will open the dialog to enter a folder name. If all else fails, try a long press to open new options. Good luck and sorry for your frustration. Paul
