TS4403 is it possible to view your photos from icloud? example, I can view my notes, email & find my phone, but im unable to view photostream. anybody got an answer?

Is it possible to view your photos while on icloud, example: I can view my notes, calendar and even find my phone. I see that there is an option to manualy delyete the photostream pix as well as retrieve them when restoring your idevice. So, why is it that I cant view the pix?

PhotoStream is designed only for shunting photos taken on one device onto all the others. You can't actually view the photos at icloud.com.
The exception to this is any shared Photostream: these can, if you so choose, appear on a web page:

I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

How can i search for a color that is not in the color palette? (CS 5.5)

I have a client, that has used a certain color in a series of textfields throughout the document.
The color consists of all 4 CMYK colors and needs to be just Keycolor. However the color is not in the swatches menu, so marking it there and changing it won't work. I have downloaded a script that might have worked, but it could only find colors that were in the swatches palette. (Find / Change by Color / Overprint" version 1.2).
Ofcourse, creating a similar color and adding it to the swatches doesn't work.
Is there anyway that i can search for the color or does it really have to be done manually.
Best regards

You can only search for real, actually existing swatches. No sweat: use "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatch panel dropdown menu to get a list of all of the manually applied colors.
Since you want to change all of them to the same color, you don't even have to use Search/Replace. Simply delete the new colors and select the one you need in the "Replace With" dialog that appears.

Photos tells me it is connecting to Library for shared photos. It's been saying this for about ten hours. I can't stop it from searching or get it to do anything else. I can go back to my photos but I can't get Photos to find the shared items.

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

Find and item Search not working inside custom list in sharepoint 2013

In Sharepoint 2013 , i configured the Search. it is working in home page search Box and Find item search box inside custom list as well But one particualr custom list Find an item is not working. Any clue ?Thanks in Advance
Thanks
sanjay pradhan

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is “find an item” search box in a custom list not work in your environment.
As search box and “find an item” search box in your home page are working, so the search service application is working.
Do you have any customzation to the particular custom list ?
If No, I suggest you can full crawl the data in Central Administration ->Manage Service Application->” Search Service Application”-> Manage Content Sources” to test if it works.
Also, please check if you have set "Allow items from this list to appear in search results" in list settings->Advanced Setting to true

Searches not finding files... any suggestions?

Hello,
I am using a Mac Pro desktop with two external firewire drives. I was doing a search for files I know exist on one of the external drives and the search pulled up nothing. I went to my drive and found the files alive and well but the search in the finder won't find them. I tested out a bunch more files and folders on that drive and 95% of the files the search wouldn't find. It found a couple of files on that drive but that's it. Again, when I go to the finder the files are there. This is causing me a lot of problems because since the finder can't find the files my applications can't either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I need to rebuild the drive index or something? Should I use disk warrior? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why doesn't Spotlight find files or folders? Why is there no simple file finder utility for Snow Leopard? Seems like I can find certain files (usually files which I already know where there are), but not the folders or files I'm actually looking for. In this case I'm looking for a Cisco profile file that ends with .pcf, but I have had the problem many times before. Am I missing something, or is the capability simply not there? Is there some kind of built-in feature that lets you find only the files that naive users can see?
Also, I'm uncertain about the difference between searching for a string that is part of a file or folder name, and a string that is within contents of the file. I would like to be able to choose which I'm searching for.

HT2474 I have an application that cannot be removed from the dock. It is not the finder or the trash icons. I cannot place it into the trash can either. Any suggestions?

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store (iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004))?

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store. An error message appears and either says "iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). Make sure your network connection is active and try again" or "iTunes could not connect to the store.Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Despite the fact that my network connection is working quite fine, this problem still persists. I can say that my connection is fine because I can surf the internet and furthermore, I used to connect to the iTunes store just before this incident happened which started from April 17, 2014 and persists until today. I tried to solve the problem by following the troubleshoot procedures given in the support section of this site but it really did not solve the problem. I believe that others are experiencing this situation as well very similar to mine when it comes to the time of occurrence as I have read in the discussions in this site. Even though we have different network connections, operating systems and other specifications, we still experience the same problem, so is there really a problem with our computers or is it with the iTunes? And by the way, my computer works under Windows XP. Thanks a lot. God bless.

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

File can not be moved by drag and drop in the finder when not open Finder windows

With the operating system OSX Snow Leopard, it was possible, for example, a file from the desktop to pull drag and drop on the Finder icon, the page opened after a short and you could put the file in a folder.
At this stage I must first open the Finder to drag a file into the destination folder.
Is it a setting or is there anything wrong with my Mountain Lion properly?
It is often the case that several windows of other applications are open or in Fullscreen are, then I would, as I also already knew and am accustomed, for example a file regardless of the location from which drag drag and drop in the Finder without leaving the / program / site to open the Finder, before returning to the file then select I wanted to move.
Note: For all other programs it works.
Finder not only in where it makes the most sense.
   Picture 1: Finder window opens when you drag a file to the Finder icon
   Picture 2: Finder icon flashes but the Finder window does not open. Finder windows have previously by clicking on the icon in the Dock will be open to pull a      file into it.
   Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

Can I search (find) my ipad from my mac air? I know there is an app for iphone or ipad but, how you do it from a Mac Air?

Absolutely you can. It is part and parcel to iCloud's functionality on the Air.
Set-up iCloud on the Mac and log into iCloud. The i{ad itself must also be properly registered with your Apple ID.
