All My Files doesn't show all my files

This probably is normal system behaviour, but it seems odd.
All My Files does not display all of my files.
It displays ones in top- level folders, ones that i've edited recently, and new files.
Perhaps these are all the files i've edited/opened since installing Lion?
It's strange, though.

In the All My Files window, there are several sections in which files are shown in a coverflow style. Above every faint top line that divides each section there is some small text that says show all. Click that and it will show all of your files.

'All My Files' doesn't show all file types (e.g. .Zip)

Does anyone know how to make the 'All My Files' option in Finder display Zip files and Folders?
When I look at the search criteria, 'All My Files' seems to be only looking for 'Documents' and 'com.microsoft.'.
Thanks,
M.

'All My Files' doen't even show pdf and doc files that I know are on my machine.
Maybe should be called 'Barely Some of My Files.'
I went into 'Search Criteria' and put in only one criteria line, searching for "any" file of "any" type.
This seemed to work.

"All My Files" doesn't show all of my files

When I select the "All My Files" view in a Finder window, it correctly shows my files sorted by file type "Presentations", "PDF documents", "Images", etcetera. The problem is that many, if not most, of my files aren't listed.
For example, on the "PDF documents" row, the right-hand side of the Finder window says "Show all (58)" when I in fact have over 700 .PDF files. Likewise, the Finder window only shows one file of the type "Presentations" and one file of the type "Spreadsheets", even though I have almost 150 of each. If I perform a Spotlight search on ".ppt" or ".xls", all of my files show up correctly and are identified correctly by type (i.e. "Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation" or "Microsoft Exel Workbook"), so I know that Lion knows what type of files these are. So why is only one of each showing up in the "All My Files" view?
I've also noticed that the only images that show up in "All My Files" are the ones that *aren't* in iPhoto. Likewise, the only music files that show up in "All My Files" are the ones that *aren't* in iTunes, but I'm guessing that this is because I'm supposed to access those files through iPhoto or iTunes rather than through the Finder?
Any help would be appreciated. I can actually see the "All My Files" view as being a useful feature, but only if it would in fact show all of my files.
Thanks,
Scott Gardner

I can help you.
but I am not good at english.
so I am sorry.
anyway,
the solution is that edit your file which path is "/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/MyLibraries/myDocum ents.cannedSearch"
for example
I need to search my "data" partition.
it must be mounted in "/Volumes/data"
and do this

If an extension isn't working properly then you need to take this up with its developer.

Distiller 'default settings' blank and doesn't show all job options

We're experiencing a problem with Adobe Distiller 9.3.0 being blank next to "Default Settings" with the error, "Error in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2008.joboptions: /CheckCompliance out of range".
I can delete that joboptions file, which removes the error message, but the Default Settings pulldown menu still is blank and doesn't show all of the joboptions files that it should. Only 2 of them are showing up in the pulldown.
How can I fix this?
I've tried deleting all joboptions files and letting Adobe self repair them and have tried deleting a few com.adobe.distiller* preference files and nothing yet seems to work.
Thanks!

Syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help

syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help

I have the same problem with podcast playlists. When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone. I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store. They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

ICal doesn't show all text for the activity

When I updated to iCal version 8.0 i noticed that when I am in week-view, iCal doesn't show all the text for an activity, although there is plenty of room. For example I have a lecture from 9 am - 4 pm and in the activity I put down all the things I have to do, but it only shows the first line for my activity. I need to drag the box or double click on it to see all the text. Can I change this?

Gabriella,
Sometimes making the Calendar window bigger, or using full screen allows additional text to be displayed.
View>"Make Text Smaller" is also an option for those with Eagle Eyes.

ATV doesn't show all photos in slideshow

My ATV3 doesn't show all my photos in slideshow. It seems to repeat the same, say 50, over and over, even though I have about 400 in the folder on my windows7 PC.
Whats the fix?
Thanks
Andy

For the avoidance of doubt are you talking about the screensaver or the slideshows.
Slideshows should show all your photos, but screensavers will not. Screensavers need to save the photos to the Apple TVs flash storage, the Apple TV doesn't have a lot of this and so limits the number of photos it uses.

Apple TV doesn't show all pictures in photo stream

I have about 1000 pictures in my photo stream, but my Apple TV doesn't show all of them. It shows only 304 photos. How can I get all my photos to my Apple TV via photo stream? I have the latest Apple TV and the latest operating system on it.
Edit:
And I have tried to reset Apple Tv and photo stream.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

Your best bet would be to try Rapidweaver: www.realmacsoftware.com
Best,
Andrew
I am not very into this stuff (can't write HTML),
do you might have a suggestion for an other
WebsiteBuilder?
We can't afford GoLive (which was very cool in the
early days built by CyberStudio) nor have I time to
learn or buy the complex Dreamweaver.

Package Body in the tree doesn't show all procedures

I am using Sql Developer 1.0.0.14.67 on Win XP Professional,
DB servers Oracle 9i on both Linux Red HAt and Win XP Professional
I have troubles with one of packages - in the tree under Package Body SQL Developer doesn't show all procedures of this package body.
On the right panel all package body source is shown, but in the tree under Package Body it shows names of only procedures up to certain line in the source code - up to line where first Private (not included in Package Spec) procedure code starts.
BUT, there are more Public procedures in package body below this Private procedure - and all of procedures below first private are not included in the tree under Package Body

I find this quite annoying. I cannot use the navigation panel on the left to find the location of all functions and procedures in the package body. The 'missing' procedures are listed under the package spec, and double clicking on them takes me to the spec and not the body.
I'm running v1.2.1.32.13. Is this a know issue and is there a fix planned?

Hi.
It's not bug, it's a feture. :)
show-disks show available controlles, that can have connected disk.
For create alias you should manualy add what disks exactly you want use.
disk0 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@0
disk1 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@1
disk2 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@2
disk3 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@3
Generaly this aliases alredy created at POST.
Check output of devalias
Regards.

IPhone doesn't show all music when I connect to network in iTunes

Hi
In iTunes Preferences on my Mac I've ticked the button to make all my music available over the network.
When I use the Share option in iTunes on my iPhone it doesn't show all the music on my Mac. Is there something else I should set to make this work?
Thanks

My Dock doesn't show all applications with shortcut

My Dock doesn't show all applications with shortcut
Apple tab only shows some applications on my list not all, anyone know why? I went under system settings to fix it and there is no option for it.
Thanks!

Perhaps I don't understand your question, but if you think that the doc shows every application you have on the computer, this is incorrect. If you want certain applications to be shown on the dock you have to add them to the dock. The dock comes preset with a few select Applications Apple wants to feature but you are free to add others or remove ones you don't use.
