Lost the Search For "All Movies" icon from the Finder window.

When I used to GO to Applications there was a "search for" option on the bottom left where I could click on "All Images"or "All Documents" or "All Movies". My son went to drag "All Movies into the main body and it literally went "pooof" and is no longer there. And I can't find a bunch of movies that was previously there. How do I get that option back? (it was next to a little purple box with a cog in it) or is there another way to see all movies on the computer . Thanks.

Hi,
click on the Desktop, then
Finder Menu >Preferences>Sidebar tab
recheck the "All Movies" box

  • I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

    You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
    If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

    P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

  • How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

    How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

    Hi Matt
    After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
    It happens to alias icons as well!

  • What is the Search for:-  All images/All documents/all movies for in Finder

    I am confused as to the purpose of Search for:- All images/documents/movies in Finder. I seem to have documents, pictures and music I have never seen or downloaded, and often photos I have actually downloaded are copied in triplicate sometimes more. I have at times got 10,000 items in my documents in Search for? My worry really is does this all take up memory on my computer and if so why is it happening and how do I stop it?
    I do hope someone can explain the purpose of the Search For?

    Thanks Kappy, I had thought that is what it probably was but just confused by all the items I never searched for or downloaded. Now that I know it doesn't take up any memory I shan't worry about it. When I deleted everything from the search for files all the photos in my iphoto and documents were also removed. (thankfully I always have my stuff backed up on hard drive) I guess one just shouldn't remove them? Is there a safe way to clear it out without loosing the stuff I need to keep?
    Regards

  • How do I search for all "missing" tracks within the iTunes database?

    I found the dreaded ! of death, and sadly I verified the tacks indeed are not on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to sort on this tag so that I can see what else might be missing on my hard drive but remains in the database (sort of similar to how you can search for all tracks that have missing artwork)? 

    Thanks.  It works perfectly.

  • ME21N : Donu2019t copy the price for all condition types from last po

    Dear.
    When I create a purchase order the price for all condition types are copied from last purchase order inside the info-record.
    But I have some condition types like FRA1 or FRA2 that I donu2019t want that system transfer price from last purchase order.
    How can I do that ?
    Thanks.

    Hi Cris,
    Go to SPRO>MM>PUR>Info Record>Define Price History> Here with your Purchasing organization if the tick is active that
    Specifies that the order price history (PO price history) is to be updated with the effective price.
    Normally, the order price history is updated with the net price.
    Procedure
    Set this indicator if you want the order price history to be updated with the effective price.
    Thanks

  • Finder search for; all movies, photos, documents

    Does anyone know how to clear the search for categories without deleted the original files. I have reloaded some photos and now have duplicates and triplicates. There does not seem to be a method of clearing all of the "search for" fields without causing larger problems.
    Thanks to anyone who has a fix for this.

    Search does not create files.

    I don't understand. What larger problems?

    Please describe in detail your problem. I cannot understand what you are asking.

  • How can I stop extracted clips goes to search for "all movies"?

    When you click open a Macintosh system drive that is running Leopard OS X 10.5.2. On the bottom right side, under "SEARCH FOR" you will see "All Movies".
    I am reloading all my LOST footage because I deleted clips for more space in the system drive. Right now all extracted clips goes to an External Hard Drive. However, every single clips I extracted are also in the "All Movies: Folder. How can I stop that? Or can I stop that?

    Everyone can still use the same Apple ID. What you need to do is go into - "Settings" , "Messages", "Receive At", and add a different Email for each user for where they can be reached for messages at. Once you have added a new Email to each device delete the original Email that was there which should have been the same as your Apple ID. Then when you send a new message, send the message to the Email for that person that was just added to their iPhone. There is no need for each family member to create their own Apple ID just to use iMessage. Each family member would only need to create their own Apple ID if everyone wanted to use iCloud and not have all family members data, contacts, calendars, etc sync together. If you are also using FaceTime between iPhones do the the same thing in the FaceTime settings.

  • Why did Apple remove the "All Movie" category from the purchased movies menu?

    We have purchased over 200 moivies from itunes, and until the most recent software update we could always view all of our movies together on Apple TV.  When you choose purchased movies the "All Movies" category is no longer available, it's been replaced by "Shared Movies" which would include movies purchased by your family members.  Now the only way to play your purchased movies is to go to the different genres below, that is a problem because it's not easy to determine what genre the movies you want falls into....for example the Star Wars Movies series is divided in to two different categories, the same goes for all of our kids movies, they are in mutlipule categories which makes it hard to scroll throug multipule categories to find the movies you want.  This seems like such a small thing, but really does make Apple TV much more complicated and frustrating to use.  Please HELP Apple and bring the All Movies Category back! Thank you.

    I don't use family sharing either, so I'm not sure of the implications. However, assuming this is something to do with family sharing (some doubt, I saw another thread where a poster had the menu missing and didn't use family sharing) it would appear that it is intentional for it to appear in one state but not in another, this tends to tell me it's received a good coat of thinking about.
    I sincerely doubt there's much thought gone into a retrograde user interface and experience

  • Lost all the documents for all 3 applications in the iPad, what can I do to get them back?

    After latest update, all the documents got lost, have no backup, what can I do and why this happen?

    Along with checking to see if the documents are still there in the browser, sounds like maybe iCloud turned off on the iPad. You can check in Settings.
    Go to Settings.
    On the left hand side, go to iCloud and make sure it is on and the "Document & Data" are ON.
    Then on the left hand side go to Pages and make sure "Use iCloud" is ON.
    Do the same for Numbers and Keynote.
    Maybe a long shot, but worth checking.

  • I some how moved all my icons from the bottom of the screen to the left side and can't get them back, cn anybody help?

    can anybody help?

    Click the Apple icon on the top left of the screen and move the cursor to Dock. On the list that appears you will be able to check "Position on Bottom".

  • Using the magnify button in Ancestry.co.uk, the cursor will not move away from the actual record window. The only way to exit is Alt F4 which closes Firefox. When reloading, Firefox reactivates the same record but without the magnify button activated.

    The magnify also does not function properly.

    There is an easier work-around. Rather than closing the browser, completely, you just have to get the system to change the focus. You can do this by pressing ALT+TAB (to switch windows). Then, you can turn the magnify option off and just go with the Zoom. (There is a secondary problem, in that the last magnified section of the image stays magnified. Going back to the record and then back into the image will clear that. But at least you don't have to close the entire browser!)

  • Seeding the cache for all users

    We are facing some performance issues (even after using aggregate tables) and are looking into seeding the cache for all users so that the dashboard pops up immediately.
    So far I couldn't make it work. As Administrator I created an iBot to run a report for 1 month (dashboard has a dashboard prompt on the period) with Data Visibility set to 'Personalized (individual data visibility)' as I understood from the manual this is the way to seed the cache for all users. Now when I log on with my personal userid and set the prompt value to that specific period it is not using the cache.
    Obviously destination was set to 'Oracle BI Server Cache' and cache has been turned on.
    Does anyone have any suggestions ?
