A problem with Smart Folders, I can't seem to get it to work.

Hi, I'm trying to make a smart folder that will include all folders which contain a certain word in the comment section, but it's not working. For example in the Comment section (in Get Info) of folders that contain films by Martin Scorsese I've typed "Directed by Martin Scorsese". Then, I made a Smart folder and as search criteria I've added "Comment contains Martin Scorsese", but nothing appears in the folder. I was hoping that the smart folder will show all the folders which contain Martin Scorsese in the Comment section but it's not working. However, when I type "Martin Scorsese" in the Spotlight those folders appear? What am I doing wrong? Please help

After a bit of work I have found the solution to searching for a comment.
1. Open a finder window and do a search for a comment.
2. Save the finder window.
3. The saved window will function correctly. You may not set up a search window using the criteria functions and get a result. It must be done in this sequence
If you want to find a folder only with a comment
1. Open a finder window  and in the search window type "folder comment:xxxx" where xxxx is the comment.
2. Save the finder window.
3. The saved window will function correctly. You may not set up a search window using the criteria and get a result. It must be done in this sequence

    Just noticed the same problem. I was able to do it before updating. Hope there's a simple answer. That is a big reason why I got the iPad and iBooks.

    Hi,
    It won't work with airplay, here is how I got it to work with OSX 10.9.4 fully patched;
    you will need to use the serial cable to start the process:
    In-brief Version:
    0) Go grab the firmware update tool, the driver, and the scanner software
    1) Turn off the firewall and antivirus (if you use it ??)
    2) Update the firmware using the serial line
    3) Reserve a static IP outside the DHCP range (using the MAC address of the printer) on your WAP server
    4) Configure the printer to use a static IP through the front panel
    5) Configure the printer WIFI with your SSID and net key through the front panel
    6) Install the CUPS driver on your computer through the printer settings by specifying the static IP
    7) Install the Scanner driver then go into the Control Center and add you computer and printer configuration
    I generally use this kind of set up so that the printer comes back at the same place after a power failure in
    the event that it has a crappy driver.
    For those of you who need a little more help:
    0) Turn off anti-virus and firewall software (it did seem to matter)
    1) Go to the Brother Center and download 1) The firmware update tool, 2) the driver, 3) the scanner software
    2) Go to the front panel on the printer: tools -> all settings -> network -> tcp/ip -> WLAN ; find the MAC address and write it down
    3) Plug the printer in using the serial cable, it will auto detect and you will be able to talk to it.
    4) Install the firmware update tool by double clicking on the dmg you downloaded
    5) Update the firmware and the subfirmware (NOTE: this is a bit finicky -- you may have to unplug and replug it in a couple of times before it starts to talk with the device, after it starts the update process it frequently gives up in the middle, DO NOT unplug the device at this point, just select "retry" from the dialog and it will continue -- it will take about 15 mins or so.
    6) Once the firmware is installed, go to your WAP server and look at the DHCP IP range; typically something like 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200
    7) If there is a capability to reserve an IP on your WAP server pick an IP outside the range in 6 (e.g. 10.0.1.201) and use the MAC address (from step 2) for the reservation... its fine if you don't reserve it -- this is an extra precaution -- just make sure you pick an IP outside the DHCP range
    8) Go to the front panel on the printer: tools -> all settings -> network -> tcp/ip -> WLAN ; then set the IP address:
         boot method: static
         IP address: the address you chose in 7)
         mask: 255.255.255.0
         gateway: the IP of your router -- typically 10.0.1.1
    8) Go to the front panel on the printer: tools -> wireless -> setup wizard -> let it find your network, select it, and enter your key.
    9) Reboot the printer and check it connects to your wireless network
    10) Go to the front panel on the printer, tools -> all settings -> print reports -> network configuration ; print the report and check the IP and MAC
    are what you think they should be.
    11) Go to your computer, bring up a terminal (applications->utilities->terminal)
    12) Ping your printer to make sure its up and accessible -- type: "ping 10.0.1.201" (or whatever IP you used in step 7) and check you get a response -- not a timeout -- if it works disconnect the serial line and delete the (serial line) printer from the list of printers  -- you won't need it anymore -- if not you screwed up somewhere along the line
    13) Now the printer is on the wireless network, install the driver by double clicking the dmg. Then go to system preferences->printers & scanners
         click +
         in the add menu click IP
         enter your IP (from step 7)
         make sure the Protocol is IPP
         Name the printer and set its location
         Go to Use field, in the pull down menu select "Select Software"
         Go through the list and find the Brother MFC-9340CDW CUPS driver -- if its not there you screwed up installing it so go do it again.
    14) Go back to the printer page -- select the printer, select Open Print Queue, then select Settings -- check the Driver Version is 4.1.0 -- if
    it says 2 you are using the airplay version which seems to be buggered -- so you need to try again.
    15) Go open a word document and print it -- smile you are nearly there
    16) Install the scanner software by double clicking the dmg
    17) Open the Control Center, under the Model: select Other
         Click +
         Select your printer
         Enter your computer name in the display name and click ok
    18) Go into adobe Acrobat File->Create->PDF from Scanner (or whatever software you are scanning with)
    19) Select "Brother TWAIN" from the scanner list -- if its not there you screwed up the scanner software installation -- go do it again
    20) Put a document in the top of the printer and press scan -- wammo !
    21) Turn back on your firewall (and antivirus if you have it -- why I can't imagine but what the ****)
    22) Go ping the printer and make sure its still reachable (see step 12) -- if not you need to figure out what your antivirus is screwing up because the firewall is no problem
    23) try printing and scanning again...
    24) rejoice... your done.

    I am attempting to transfer my contacts from my Android phone to a new Lenovo Yoga 2 computer via the intouch app and I can't seem to get it to work.

    Maybe I'm not understanding but it appears that your question refers to a transfer from a non-Apple phone to a non-Apple computer. If that is correct, this forum is likely not the best place to get an informed answer.

  • Having problems with effects and having to unlock panels to get them to work?

    I am having problems getting panels to work... the scrolling function is locked.... but when I undock the panel so it floats freely the scrolling function comes back--this happens with the effects and project panels (prbably others as well).... then sometimes they will stop working and I have to redock the panel to get it to work!   This is a real problem at the moment. When I put a video effect on a clip on the timeline the down arrow will not function... so I can open up the effect and make the settings I want. I have a .3pg file from a camera phone that needs to be rotated! 
    I am running CS4 with Matrox card.  By next week I will be upgrading to CS5... but my computer needs to upgraded...will be doing this next Tuesday.
    My comuter properties are as follows Intel Core 2 Quad CPU  Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 2.39GHz, 8 GB RAM, 64-bit operating system
    Dave S

    Okay... so I closed Premiere and restarted it.... no the down arrows work... but there is a pregnant pause before the effects function opens or when I close it there is a pause. Not sure why1 This isn't heavy intensive stuff I am doing.

  • Why doesn't "My Tom Tom" (GPS site) work with Firefox? I can only seem to get updates via IE.

    When I initially activated my Tom Tom GPS (Jan 2012) I did not have a problem using Firefox. About 4-6 weeks ago I attempted to update the device and "My Tom Tom" would not run with Firefox. After literally hours of trying to get it to work, I tried Internet Explorer and the updates ran without a hitch. Today I had the same problem and after a few unsuccessful attempts to use Firefox, switched to IE and had no problems. I am not sure, but I think I updated my Tom Tom device at least once via Firefox and believe the problem developed sometime after April 2012

    It is most likely because you are running a very out of date version of Firefox. I have a TomTom, and it works fine with Firefox 15.0.1. Try to update to that then try again.

  • I can't seem to get  my iCloud working between my iPhone and iPad

    My wife and I recently purchased (in This order) an iPad, then 2 iPhones, then a second iPad. My iCloud on my devices is working fine. We are having trouble getting my wife's to work. I checked again, and was sure I had done what I was supposed to do to set hers up. She had her iPhone for a week or so before we got her iPad. We may have registered the phone with one Apple ID, and the pad with another. How can we get the two in sync?

    Hi
    So the problem we are working on is just your wife's iPhone nad iPad right?
    It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the detailed screens.
    I think the key is to log out of your devices and then sign back in with only ONE ID on each device.
    Let's start with
    1. Settings
    2. Itunes and Apps stores
    3.  Tap on the Apple ID (willlook like your wife's id).
    4.  Tap sign out
    5.  Enter your preferred Apple id and password
    6.  Tap sign in
    7.  Check Settings> iCloud... should be the correct iCloud Id now (and greyed out)
    Do this on each device.....

  • New iMac...trying to set up sound recording form the internet but my microphone isn't working for facetime.  I have soundflower installed...recording into Adobe Audition. Can't seem to get them all working...any help?

    I'm just setting up my iMac, and am not very familiar as I'm just coming over from Windows.  Working on setting up my recordeing software (will most likely be Audition) and I need to be able to record from the internet as well as from a microphone.
    I've installed soundflower but now the micropohone is not working in facetime.  What is the proper way to set all this up? 
    Thank you!
    Frank

    O.K. fgonoz98
    I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
    Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
    1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
    under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
    2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
    under Input highlight microphone.
    3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
    If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
    (Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
    For any other audio device you do this for input and output.
    If you get stock post back

  • Problems with Smart Folders

    Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Bought a new MB Pro and directed Aperture to the library on an external HD. It opened and looked the same, all the folders in the right places, etc. When I click on a smart folder, nothing comes up and the setting from before aren't there. I can't delete the album and create a new one and I can't adjust the old one. Any suggestions?

    I've repaired my permissions and still cant delete any of the smart albums. I cant use them either. Any suggestions? Tried dragging them to the trash and some went, but the albums still remain in the project and some left the project, but won't leave the trash. I empty it and they're still there.

    In your jsp you need to give one more entry saying <script type='text/javascript' src='xxx/xxx/corrUpdate.js'></script> . Path of the js can be obtained from http://localhost:9080/xxx/dwr .

  • Firefox can't load websites but my Windows Explorer can. It was working before but now whenever I try to load a page it says "Problem loading page". What can I do to get Firefox to work?

    Whenever I try to go on a website, Firefox says "Problem loading page." It won't load any pages. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but it still says and does the same thing.

  • Snap to beat markers:  I'm using iMovie 11.  Trying to prepare short movie of holiday using 2 or 3 songs and snap to beat feature.  It worked great for first segment/song but I can't seem to get it to work for the second song.  Help please.

    I'm using iMovie to prepare a short holiday video.  Snap to beat markers worked great for the first song but doesn't seem to work when I try to extend my project with a second song and more video and stills.  I dragged in the song and marked the beats but when I bring in stils and video clips they just ignore the beat markers.  Can anyone help please.  Thanks.

    I am having the same issue. The first song and beat markers work great. I add a second song and set beat markers. When I add photos, the appear at random spots with random lengths. I haven't seen a pattern yet. Spent 30 minutes on this topic at my last 1:1 session in the store. No luck figuring it out.
    One work-around might be to create one song per project (so beat markers work), then combine the two (or more) projects. But I'm not sure if that's possible or how to do it.
    Thanks for any help on this.
