Find "Other" search fails when "User" folder selected - bug?

I have several partitions on my disk.
On my boot partition, I have 2 .aiff files in a sub-directory of my Documents folder. Using the Finder's "Find" command (not spotlight),
select search for File Type "other" and "AIFF Audio" from dropdown
select the "Users" folder as the only folder to search - "Find" shows no files
select only "Home" to search - finds them.
select both "Home" and "Users" to search it doesn't find them.
select the partition (Called "OSX") it finds them.
select partition "OSX", folder "Users" and "Home" - it finds them
also - I can get Finder to reset with double-click:
With a search that finds them, select the file so its path appears in the panel at the bottom of the window.
Modify the Find to search only "Users". The window clears and no files show, however the path of the previously selected file remains.
Double click on the path name, the Finder resets ( - in other words, quits, closing all open FInder windows, then restarts without reopening any of those Finder windows)
Is this a bug or what?

I was having a very similar problem on my computer. I found that this discussion thread solved my problems.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2635460&#2635460
In short, try re-indexing your drive or home folder. You can do his by opening Preferences->Spotlight, select the Privacy tab. Add your hard drive or your home folder to the list by drag and drop or hit the plus symbol at the bottom. Wait a second and remove the drive or folder. It will take several hours for the drive or folder to re-index but the find/search command will start working correctly right away.
Hope this helps.

  • HD failed, access User folder urgent!

    Hi everyone!
    Here is my problem: system once froze after waking from sleep, rebooted it, never worked again. A forbiden sign appears when i rebooted it.
    Things i tried:
    - Snow leopard installation disk: disk utility reports bad sectors, cannot repair.
    - Manage to create a partition and install ubuntu, can mount the drive but cannot see my folder inside Users\ ... So no access to my Desktop etc... old data. If i do it in the terminal as superuser i can see my user folder but once i try to access it, it gives a cannot access input\output error. I find it hard to belive that all my data is in bad sectors obviously...
    - Disk utility alias in ubuntu also reports bad sectors.
    - tried to use the terminal in the snow leopard installation cd but drive is not present in the Volumes\ ... can see Linux partition clearly though...
    I now want to return the computer to Apple cuz it is not one year old yet!!! My first mac and so many troubles.... argh!
    Any chance of recovering the data?
    My bet would be some way of overriding protection and see the folder in linux.
    OR
    Maybe reinstall leopard, although probably it will ask for formatting the drive.
    OR
    Maybe apple can do it once i return it to repair... they should, a one yr old computer shouldn't give HD problems!!! :((
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Cheers

    If you don't have your data backed up elsewhere, it may be too late to do so now. The lesson to take from this experience is that you should back up when everything is working perfectly instead of waiting until the sky falls.
    Don't take the computer to Apple to have the drive replaced under warranty until you've recovered any data that can be salvaged from it, as I describe below. If you take it to Apple now, Apple will remove the old drive and keep it, with all your data on it.
    STOP installing things on the failed drive. If its directory is among the things on it that have been damaged, anything you write to the disk may irrevocably overwrite data that you hope to recover, but have been unable to access up to now. Instead of continuing to muck around with the drive and putting your data at further risk, download the free trial version of one or more of these data recovery utilities and let it show you what data, if any, is recoverable from the failed drive:
    Data Rescue III
    FileSalvage
    VirtualLab
    Do not install any of them on the failed drive. Install them on a bootable external hard drive large enough to hold all the data you hope to recover. If any of them indicates that it will be able to recover the files you need, buy the full version and use it to copy the files from the failed drive to the external. All data recovery utilities operate without changing anything on the drive from which the files are being recovered, so you know you can't be destroying any other information in the process. Good luck.

  • Cannot find config.js file in user folder

    Dear All,
    I could not find config.js in user java script folder.
    I used  app.getPath("user", "javascript"); function to find the user folder and it contains glob.js and glob.settings.js file.
    Where should i find Config.js file to execute priviledged methods in a non-privilaged context.
    Thanks for all.
    Mohamed Idris

    Thanks a lot, That has worked. I was thinking that config.js will come with default setup loaded with setup information.

  • How does installing programs work when user folder moved to separate drive?

    Hi everyone
    I have my user folder on a separate drive from my boot drive.
    I have set up a new installation of OS X on a third drive and pointed the main account's user folder on that third drive to the user folder drive.
    This means that the dock that shows up when I boot off that third drive contains aliases linking to programs on the ordinary boot drive.
    If I install programs on the third drive and make aliases in the dock, will that cause a conflict when I boot off the ordinary boot drive?
    And if I remove from the dock aliases linking to the ordinary boot drive, will they then disappear when booted off the ordinary boot drive?
    Thanks for any insight.
    /p

    I tried that.
    1) I created a standard user account called "Test."
    2) While logged in as Test I edited the sidebar. Then I logged out and back in again to confirm that the settings were retained. They were.
    3) While logged in as Test I copied the user folder from SystemDisk/Users/Test to DataDisk/Users/Test.
    4) I logged out of Test and logged in as Admin.
    5) I changed the home directory for the Test account to /Volumes/DataDisk/Users/Test.
    6) I deleted the directory at SystemDisk/Users/Test.
    7) I logged out of Admin and logged in as Test.
    8) I edited the sidebar. Then I logged out and back in again to see if the settings were retained. They were not.
    9) I repeated steps 3-7, this time moving the home directory back to its original location at SystemDisk/Users/Test.
    10) Again I edited the sidebar, logged out and logged back in again. This time the settings were retained, just as they had been before I moved the directory in the first place.
    Since the functionality returns when I move the home directory back to the system disk, I've concluded that it is not due to any corruption of library files or such. It seems to be a problem with the location of home directory.
    V.K., in your configuration, is the account with the moved home directory an Admin account or a Standard account? I have not tested this with an admin account and I suppose that might make a difference.

  • Pacman fails when trying to select packages.[Solved]

    I have tried installing off the 2009.02 amd64 iso on a new build, i have successfully partitioned my hdd and have come to select packages, attempting to install over FTP. When selecting option 3 in the installer i get the usual two stage warning then an error message "Pacman preparation failed! check /dev/tty7 for errors." checking /dev/tty7 gives me the error "/arch/setup: line 715: /usr/bin/pacman: Input/output error" does anyone have any suggestion how i might fix this? Thanks.
    //Edit
    I think that my CD was incorrectly burnt, i am not sure if this was as a result of the download from the mirror or from the actual burning process. I have successfully [?!] installed arch off a newly downloaded copy of the .iso from another mirror.

  • User authentication failed when user is locked by system admin

    Hello!
    We have EP 6.0 (SP 18) and ABAP Backed 6.40 (SP21).  UME is connected to the backend system for user managment.
    When we try to log on to EP with a user that is locked by the system admin in the backend, the message shown is "User authentication failed".
    Should it be possible to show a message as "User locked by system admin", for the user to know the reason?

    You're not on 1.2.1? That's the latest production release. When you import from xls, into a table, you need to be sure to match your columns on the second tab.
    So on tab1, you need to shuttle the columns you will import into. Then the second tab, you need to match the Data Types. You can check that the Import will work by reviewing the DML in the last tab.

    You might look at the Selected Cursors property. It indicates which
    cursors will be acted upon by the movement palette. It should be
    equivalent to the small LED buttons on the cursor palette.

  • OfficeJet 4630 Defaults to Network Fax when user has selected Network Printer Instead on WIN XP

    Hi, just installed the OJ4630 and selected the "Network Printer" as the default.  When choosing to print an MS Word document in "My Documents" the "Network Printer" correctly appears as the default.  But when choosing to print a picture in "My Pictures" the "Network Fax" becomes the default, which is an error.  Please advise, thanks!

    Hi 
    Thanks for reporting the issue. Here is the way to fix it.
    Go to windows->Control panel-> Printers and devices
    Right click on the 4630 Fax Printer, select the option Set as default printer and you'll see two choices there: one is printer driver and other one is fax driver.   You choose print driver to set as default.
    Done
    Hope it will help you.
    happy Printing!!!

  • Search fails when accessing portal over HTTPS

    Dears,
    We want to use the Ajax framework page within our company.
    We activated the standard deliverey and during our first tests we see that the search functionality does not work correctly.
    Scenario:
    1) we access our portal on https://portal.company.com/irj/portal
    2) When we type in our search query and click [Go] we get a pop-up but the URL called is:
    http://portal.company.com/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.navigation.helperservice/html/child.html
    Findings:
    - When we access our portal over HTTP the search is working fine with the ajax frameworkpage.
    - when we use the 'old' defaultframeworkpage search is working fine when connecting through HTTPS
    - to enable HTTPS we pass through a proxy server, HTTPS is not managed by the JAVA WAS
    Anybody faced similar problem and was able to solve this?
    Many thanks,

    Hi,
    I would say that it hast to do with the URL Generation configuration of KM, but as it works for the old iview then this is strange behaviour. So I think it is a bug... this seems a call of an absolute url instead of a relative url.
    I would advise you to report is as a bug via a SAP OSS message...

  • Forward mail to other SMTP server when user is unknown

    Hi There,
    At this point we are migrating our mailserver from groupwise to Exchange 2007 and at the same point we are connection the new domain  in the forrest from a other school. All goes well but know there is a small issue that we have to fix. The Exchange server from the other school send's all message's for @grundel.nl to our new exchange server but there aren't users. There are two sollutions to our problem (I think) but I need to know what exchange can do for me.
    1- Our mail goes to the new exchangeserver and when there is a user that the server doesn't know he forwards the mail to our Groupwise server (through SMTP). Is this possible and how can I configure it?
    2- The mailserver from the other school sends the mail to Our Groupwise server direct. This is difficult because we are in one forrest and exchange see's that the grundel.nl is configured in sites and servers.  Can Exchange bet configured to send mail for our domain to a SMTP server instead of our exchnage server and how can I configure that?
    Sollution 1 would be the best so we gen migrate a bit easier.
    Thanks,
    Marcel
    PS: All Exchange server's are 2007 SP2.

    and if i am having "recipient not found" for some users ?
    i have the same situation and mostly all mail goes normally, except for some users.
    It smtp configuration for user is [email protected] but if i send mail to [email protected] (the same site, same server, but i have  smart host value for this domain ) - mail deliver to user exchange mailbox locally ([email protected]) and not forwarded
    to another host.
    Another users goes normally. how can i resolve this problem ?
    Be real
    really need some help
    Be real
    This question is already marked as answered so you should start a new thread including as much information as possible.
