Spotlignt doesn't display my folders, in spite of my settings in the preference panel. Thanks for your help., Spotlignt doesn't display my folders, in spite of my settings in the preference panel. Thanks for your help.

Although I have set my Spotlight preferences so as to display not only files, but folders as well, I can't track my folders. I have tried two things : indexing and permission repairs.
Anyone can help ?

    Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.

  • Hi I have copied over my iTunes to a new PC and now there are songs missing and when try to re download on iTunes it says play. When you hit play it sends you off to search for a file that doesn't exist. When syncing it says 100 issues Help please

    Hi,
    I have just put my iTunes on a new laptop by hard drive method and some songs are not there. When I go into iTunes it's doesn't say download or purchase it says play.
    So you press play and it opens a separate box saying search for file which isn't there.
    I have read tons of stuff re this but still not got it fixed. It's not a HD issue because iTunes won't let me download it why ?
    Hopefully someone can help
    Thanks David

    Hey Davidl678,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359

    Hi there 8472kck!
    I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

    I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Follow the directions in this support article.
    Step 2
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
    Step 3
    Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
    Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
    Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
    You can then close the folder.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
    Select
    File ▹ Add Keychain...
    from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Mail in Mavericks is a disaster for me.  Mail opens VERY slowly and cannot be deleted. I can move copies of messages to On My Mac but the original stays in the In Box. Scrolling works then it doesn't then it does. I tried every advice here; nothing helps.

    I've read and tried all the solutions proffered to others about Mail in Mavericks and scrolling issues as well.  They either are not applicable (hard drive seems fine; is less than half full; permissions have been repaired; Disk Utility finds no hard drive issues) or don't work (rebuilding, removing envelope files and re-importing, removing various preference files).
    I have about 200,000 emails in four In Boxes.  Prior to Mavericks this was not a problem.  I have tried to remove them in case that helps but when I move them to a new folder in "On My Mac" the new folder is (very slowly) created but the original messages stay in the In Box as well.  I went through one box and deleted over 52,000 messages -- or so I thought.  When I closed mail later, I got a message saying the messages could not be moved to trash.  They are in the In Box now.
    Maybe the problem is not Mavericks, but it started when I upgraded, and except for scrolling, which has been problematic elsewhere as well but no where more than in Mail, everything but Mail seems to be working ok.
    Are other people having problems to this extent?  I can wait a little while for a fix but I get over 2,000 emails a day (yes, a lot of spam) and I don't think I can go on in perpetuity without the ability to delete messages.  I've used Apple Mail since its inception and would prefer to keep it but may be forced out.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    While logged in as Guest, launch Mail and set up one of your IMAP accounts. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Help! I need a recommedation for a Mac Book Pro or Air for a singer-songwriter who needs to burn CDs and makes 30 minute to hour-long recordings. Thanks!

    I am a hypnotherapist and singer-songwriter who purchased Pro Tools and took a brief class, but I'm not an engineer and it is over my head. I am looking at purchasing a Mac Book Pro or Air to dumb down to a Garageband app in order to keep production moving while I learn Pro Tools.
    Can anyone recommend which laptop to get? I now have a Dell Studio XPS with Pro Tools on it. Just need to keep my clients happy,and I make recordings that are 30 minutes to an hour long for them, then burn CD's and/or make mp3s that I email to them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Many thanks!

    BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

    Hello Daisy,
    It sounds like when you try to sign into the iTunes Store, you are prompted to review your account information. You click review, but nothing happens.  Usually what should appear here is your billing information according to this article:
    Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2589
    I recommend just accessing your account settings and verifying your billing information using these steps:
    Changing your account information using a computer:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, then click the Sign In button.
    Choose Store > View My Account.
    Enter your account password, and click the View Account button.
    To update your name, billing address, or payment information, follow these instructions:
    From the Apple Account Information page, click the Edit Payment Information button.
    Edit the information that you would like to change.Note: The payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts can be found in the payment type section. If you do not want a payment method on your account, select None in the payment type section.
    Click the Done button once you've updated all of your information.

    Jacqui,
    I stongly believe that Steve has given you the best advice. Actually, it's the same advice that I would have given you, if I had seen your post first!
    I can verify that his books will give you more info, and in a more usable form, than tutoring, or even in-class, hands-on schooling will. Almost anything that can be done with the program (he also has a companion book for Photoshop Elements, which is often bundled with PrE) is covered in easy to understand detail.
    After reading through, and working along, his second bit of advice, Muvipix, is also sound. Between this, and Muvipix fora (Community tab), there have been very few questions that could not be answered. Muvipix also is a great resource for additional articles on how things are done, plus tutorials.
    I also recommend that one take an hour and read through both the FAQ and Tips & Tricks articles, found to the right of the PrE forum main page. I would read Steve's book first, so terms, etc. would be most clear.
    There are two on-line training sites, that get great reviews: www.lynda.com and www.ltotaltraining.com. I have not subscribed to either, but have used the materials furnished from them with various Adobe programs. I also have several of the lynda.com books on various programs, and they are well-written. Now, they are NOT one-on-one tutoring, which is what you are looking for. They also probably do not cover PrElements, but that is just my guess. If they do, they would be another good source of training, though it's through tutorials, and not direct instruction.
    This is just my 02¢'s worth of thought.
    Good luck,

I even can't send them an e-mail ? What type of company it is ?

    Yes, Apple has caused people to go through massive panic, anxiety and wasted time by not coming out and telling us about this problem. They must know about it. How can we tell them? Now I understand why it took me 50 tries to upgrade to OS5. We all got the same crazy errors that caused us to reinstall iTunes, turn off our firewalls, buy new USB cables and basically waste tons of time and energy, when the solution was very simple. Plug your device into a USB port on your computer.
    After years of using a peripheral USB hub successfully it's no wonder we all started freaking out and thinking it was a major problem. Yes, I'm blowing off some steam, but I've been an Apple fanatic for a long time and I'm not happy about their lack of response to this issue.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.
