"All My Files" doesn't show .indd or .qxp

It seems that 'All My Files' isn't quite what its description would imply.
The idea is nice, but it seems the definition of what constitutes a 'document' is fairly limited. Unfortunately, InDesign and Quark files do not show up.
I've solved it by creating a new Smart Search, but still it seems a bit unecessary to have to do so.

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
==========================
<dict>
                <key>FinderFilesOnly</key>
                <true/>

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

UITextField from .xib file doesn't show

A UITextField from .xib file doesn't show when it's page comes up on the iPhone simulator.
The View looks fine in Interface Builder, and no warnings are thrown to Console or IB's Info window.
On the Simulator the View comes up and a Label and a Switch show, but not a UITextField. The Objects are on the same row and their bounds are all appropriate.
I don't see anything in the Text Field Attributes of IB that is problematic, plus I've probably tried all combinations of settings. In Connections there is a reference to a File's Owner attribute.
I have been able to create a UITextField programmatically.

Worked around the problem by deleting the UITextField from the .xib and re-creating it.

SWF files doesn't show in flash

I converted some videos into swf files. I opened them in flash player and they all look fine, but when I imported one in flash and put it in the scene the only thing visible was a small white circle, like the one that appears at the center of the objects when you select them. It couldn't be moved, it could barely be selected and it doesn't show up when testing the movie. I don't need to edit the video in flash, I just want to put it together with other elements, something similar to this http://mawichan.deviantart.com/art/Oban-WEB-PAGE-381429374
I have the suspicion that they don't work because they were not originally made in flash, since I have worked with swf files in flash before, but those were banners previously made in flash.
However I would like to hear the opinion and/or advice of someone who knows more than me, I am still a beginner.
Thank you.

video files should be played in flash using the flvplayback component (or using the netstream class), not converted to swfs. ie, create a fla, add an flvplayback component to your stage and, in the properties panel, assign the component's source to be your video file. (use a relative path.)

Spotlight shows the result of old files doesn't shows words definition

Hi all,

Pleas help Me thanks =)

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

All My Files no longer showing in Finder

Instead all that's there is a Search bar with 'This Mac' and 'All My Files' on it and blank below it. Before it always used to show, well, all my files! What can have happened? I don't recall playing around with it or anything. This isn't really a serious thing as all my files (which are, in the main, .doc files) are safe and sound on the hard drive and I always back them up on a USB stick, but I'm just wondering what's going on? Thanks!

Hmm, why would an empty Spotlight results window be showing when you click on All My Files? I can't see anything that lets you show all the files in All My Files! I just want it to go back to how it looked before with all the files in it. As I say I can't recall doing anything to it.
If it helps, in 'Get Info' on the sidebar the path (I think that's what it's called anyway) is
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/MyLibraries
and in 'Get Info' in the search body it's
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/MyLibraries/myDocumen ts.cannedSearch
I don't know what the path would be if it looked how it did before and displayed all the files.

Link to external file doesn't show path

Hi,
a friend of mine has a problem with a CD that works fine for me.
Embedded in a pdf file are links to shockwave-Skripts. Clicking on the link should start the default Internet Browser.
I'm using Adobe Reader version 8.1.4. If I click on a link a warning about security issues is shown and I can read the file in question, including the path, starting with the Volume the CD is mounted in.
My friend is using a higher version of Adobe Reader (8.2.4) but the warning doesn't show the same: the path is missing - he only gets "firefox.exe", while I'm getting "C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" (German file structure, "Programme" equals "Program Files"). Clicking "Open" he gets a "file not found" message while my click opens the program like it is supposed to happen.
We couldn't figure out a difference in our settings, so there must be another solution how to get the paths into the opening procedure. Both of us are using Windows XP...
Who knows more?

IMovie crashed now .rcproject file doesn't show in library/project list and won't open.

URGENT PROJECT DUE TODAY.
iMovie crashed while I was working on a project, now I can't c the file in iMovie, however I can see it in Finder and moved to the movie folder, but it still doesn't show in my iMovie library or project list and nothing will open it. It is listed as a .rcproject and I cannot find how to open it. PLZ PLZ HELP

Were you working with iMovie 9 or 10 when you had the crash?
It sounds like you were in iMovie 10 trying to update your iMovie 9 projects into iMovie 10.
If you were working in iMovie 10, see if you can still see everything with iMovie 9.0.9 (the 2 versions have completely different media file structures).
If you were in iMovie 9 it sounds as if the .rcproject package may have got corrupted. You can look inside the package in Finder with the "show package contants" contextual menu but I would not know how to repair it manually.
Do you have a backup or are you running time machine? With a backup you should be able to replace the offending package with a working version.

Loaded itunes and its blank (like a brand new user), all my files are not showing!

Loaded up my PC this morning and then started iTunes as per normal but itunes loaded as if It was the first time I have used it, nothing at all (I have 15,200 songs along with all my iphone data ). I use iTunes every day, last time was yesterday afternoon. iTunes does show me logged into with my account and i can access the itunes store. I have restarted the computer and nothing changes. I have not done any system updates on either the PC or iTunes. Im not going to re sync my iphone or ipod incase it syncs with it and removes all the files/data.
Any suggestions please!!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
In the unlikely event that your media has been wiped from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
When you get it all working make a backup!

As usual this question has documented answers, and you are asking this question, because you consistently refuse to read any documentation. So in your case the answer could have been 'Yes, there is. See the docs'.
You could actually say you are in gross violation of the forums etiquette post, and are abusing this forum.
If you would have read the docs, you wouldn't have used dbms_support (which was never supported for end-users), but you would have looked at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_monitor.htm#i1003679
and what do you see?
The life of a DBA can be so easy when he makes an attempt to find information himself!
He doesn't have to wait until some kind soul answers doc question 779!
