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?

What's the point of "All My Files" at Finder sidebar?

Just curious, because it seems useless, and even more because a search won't show folder path for selected items...

Not sure about this one; I certainly haven't figured out what its' purpose is supposed to be. I spent a little time on the support site - nothing; looked at all the "features" page - nothing; and then I found this:

guess that answers both of our questions.....

What is the definition of "All Projects" in P6 EPPM for the Team Usage Charts?

In P6 Professional 8.3, there is a User Preference setting which can be used to define "All Projects" for the Resource Usage Profile. The choices are: All Open, All Closed except What-if, All Closed with Leveling Priority over x. In P6 EPPM 8.3, there are My Preferences settings. In these settings, I see several choices which are also in the P6 Professional User Preferences, but I do not see a way to set the definition of "All Projects". Does this mean that EPPM uses the SAME settings as selected in P6 Professional or does it mean that "All Projects" is not configurable in P6 EPPM? If it is not configurable in P6 EPPM, what is the definition of "All Projects" in P6 EPPM?

What is the condition for using 'for all entries' and why?

what is the condition for using 'for all entries' and why? can any body tell the reason for this ? its a big favour of me .
regards,
ravi.

hi,
for all entries is used to join two or more tables.
It is same as join but performance wise for all entries is more effective.
You can only use FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ...WHERE ...in a SELECT statement.
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab WHERE cond returns the union of the solution sets of all SELECT
statements that would result if you wrote a separate statement for each line of the internal table replacing the symbol
itab-f with the corresponding value of component f in the WHERE condition.Duplicates are discarded from the result
set. If the internal table itab does not contain any entries, the system treats the statement as though there were
no WHERE cond condition, and selects all records (in the current client).
for example:
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO wa_sflight
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ftab
WHERE CARRID = ftab-carrid AND
CONNID = ftab-connid AND
fldate = '20010228'.
this condition, return all entries of the sflight
hen using FOR ALL ENTRIES the number of matching records is restricted to the number of records in the internal table. If the number of records in the database tables is too large then join would cause overheads in performance. Additionally a JOIN bypasses the table buffering.
So for all entries is used for filtering out the data from the two tables based on the entries in them.
Advantages:
1) For all entries avoids inner join & so the performance increases.
2) For specified values in 1 itab, if you to fetch values from other table you can use it.
3) Use of select stmt in loop is gets avoided, as u can use read statement on the the new itab.

What are the procedures for getting Apple to remotely wipe all my data off my ipad that was stolen? I have no hope of recovering it. Please advise asap...thanks!

What are the procedures for getting Apple to wipe the data off my original ipad I bought two years ago. I had it stolen from a hotel room over the weekend and it is not password protected and no I did not download app to find it.
Any hwlp would be greting appreciated!

Apple can't do it, only you could potentially do it if you had enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. As a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

For best performance what's the size of an image to be stored in database?

Hi all,
can any one tell me..for best performance what's the size of an image to be stored in database?
is it <256kb or >256mb?
when i google we can store image as varbinary(max) and its limit upto 2GB..
Can anyone exlain it?
is it performance wise better..
thanx in advance..
lucky

Your question does not seem apparently meaningful. If you need to store a 5MB image in the database, you store a 5MB image, not a 200 KB image or a 200 MB image. Business needs always trumph performance.
Not surprisingly, the larger the image the more resources it takes to read and write it.
What is a meaningful question is whether you should use the FILESTREAM feature or not. The cut-off limit here is usually given as 1MB. That is, if your images typically exceeds 1MB you should use FILESTREAM and access the data through Win32
API. If your images are generally below this size, you should stick to regular T-SQL.

Skipping the search for linked images

Hi all
My indesign document have 250 images. While I have moved the indesign document to different server. All the images are missing links now. While I am opening the document indesign looking for image links, this process is cosuming more time to open the document.
I want to just skip the searching for linked file and open the file. I will relink them afterwards.
Skipping the search for linked images while opening the indesign file is prossible?
Thanks in advance

That preference can be changed. Edit>preferences>file linking (Windows) or InDesign>preferences>file linking (Mac)

Could you tell me what is the reason behind all this?

Hi
Zp0001, we have 510 pcs in stock, but for some reasons we cant commit the orders that we have on the system. When we go into a xyz order 308 for example), the system commits only to February, even if we could do a partial shipment.
Could you tell me what is the reason behind all this?

Please look into availability check for that particular material,
based on the availability check the system determines whether to
confirm the sales order (if the sales order qty > inshe stock (either
rejection/partial confirmation - depends upon the availability check),
followed by determination of delivery date

I am getting a scrolling window that comes up at the bottom of my Safari window whenever I search for something on the web. It seems to be restating what I am search for but asks if you want to try something else. It has a ? and a X to close. Sometimes allows me to close but other times takes me to

The question is does your MBP meet the specs for Mountain Lion.

What is the code for updating a table of content?

I'm looking online and not finding a command list or something helpful. I'm also on a government computer so a bunch of sites are blocked for security or something. I am making a script that does a few things and one needs to be updating the TOC but I cant find the command.
I wish this software had something simular to a program called MAYA has. "echo all commands" in the script editor so anything you do shows all code being exicuted.

Theoretically, if you are using Adobe's own ESTK to write your scripts, all commands can be found in the Help menu. Then again, searching in there is needlessly made difficult (i.e., you have to know exactly what you are searching for before you can find it). So (modest cough) ... Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: Table of Contents
The command you are looking for is not in the "Table of Content Suite" since that only describes the format of the contents. It is a Document method: Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: Document -- look for createTOC (this stupid editor doesn't show it but the link already points to the correct place -- perhaps this editor was written by "We Also Brought You The ESTK").
Searching through the thousands of pages is easier if you download the CHM version and use a good CHM viewer. Check out

Adobe X PDF files converted to jpg, edited and converted back to PDF have ragged, unclear text. I didn't have this problem with Acrobat 9 standard. What is the remedy for this. If this is the best I can expect, I won't be able to use X standard.

I can't imagine any worse workflow than converting to JPEG to edit text, then back to PDF. Text in a PDF is a vector thing, smooth at all resolutions. And JPEG is made for photos. EVERY conversion to JPEG and back loses quality but how much loss there is will vary.
If you must go to an image format, try PNG.
