Can't find files on MacBook Pro after airdrop

When I use Airdrop on my iPhone I can hear the file go to my Macbook Pro but can't find it with finder.

Thanks. They were in the download folder, but the name was changed to a number and characters. That is why finder could not find my file.

What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

Can't delete file from macbook pro...

I recently bought a new macbook pro (2.3 GHZ, i5, 4gb ram...) and began to download some torrents. I was converting one movie file to play on my iphone but I cancelled the conversion because I realized the picture quality of the movie wasn't that great. I deleted the file but now there is a left over file that can only be seen under the "all my files" section in the Finder that I canno delete. There is no icon for this file except for this grayed out cut out.
When I click "get info" I'm unable to move to trash that way and it says I have "unknown access" under the sharing and permissions tab. I can't drag the file to the trash bin and when I do, another file is taken instead. When I click on the icon this message displays -The alias “Immortals.2011.DVDScr#8B1B.divx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found" I'm given options to click "Delete alias, Fix alias, or Ok". When I click delete alias, nothing happens, when I click Fix alias I can't find the original becuase I've obviously deleted it and clicking ok just closes the message.
I have two questions,
1. When I "get info" on file, it states that the file size is 956 mb. Is it really taking that much space up on my hd? I know I deleted the original file. What gives?
2. How can I delete this file?
I could really use some help on this. I've asked my friends and they coudln't figure it out either.
I'd appeciate any and all who can give me some ideas.
Thanks,
D

Can't find iWeb on macbook pro

hi. new to this so please be patient.
just purchased a new macbook pro 15, running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74).
want to design a website but cannot find iweb. looked on apple website which took me to app store and ilife. i have imovie, iphoto and garageband so i assume this is the full package but I cant find iweb icon :-( what am I doing wrong. typed iweb in finder but not found.
please help.

iWeb had been discontinued. While you could still find it on retail iLife discs, there's little point in starting a new project using something that is no longer being developed. What is your skill level at web design? If you want something similar to iWeb, that does not require a high degree of expertise, you could try RapidWeaver.

FCE HD 3.x can't find AGP on MacBook Pro

hi,
My Fianl Cut Express HD 3.0X won't launch on my MacBook Pro.
It reports a Configuration Error.
This software requires a certain hardware or software that is missing.
*AGP graphics card
Why does FCE think it is running on a PowerMac? How do I fix this? It's annoying!
thanks.

The BAD NEWS is that FCE 3.0 is totally unsuited to Intel Macs.
The GOOD NEWS is that if you press the "Esc" key every time you get the error message FCE should load normally.
However, you will probably find that FCE is slower than it should be.
You need to upgrade to FCE 3.5 which is designed for Intel (and Power) Macs.

Can you transfer files from Macbook Pro to iPad Air via USB ?

Hi ,
Can you use that USB adapter to transfer photos / .pdf`s / .mp3`s and so forth ?
I have a MBP-R + MM , and would like to be able to use the newer iPad Air for veiwing photos as well as .pdf`s , I got the music part , just sync with iTunes.
Many thanks !
G. 

iTunes, when your iPad Air is plugged in via USB to your computer and selected in iTunes, has a tab for Books which can transfer your PDFs to iBooks. It also has a tabs for Photos.
If you select the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the apps list, you will see a section for Apps that can sync files between your computer and the App on your iPad Air. So if you have an app that handles a specific file format you can use iTunes to sync that file between your computer and your iPad Air.
As has been mentioned above, besides iBooks, GoodReader is another well respected app that handles PDFs and you can transfer PDF files between your computer and GoodReader on the iPad Air via the Apps tab.

Where can I find a "dummy" macbook pro

I work for a company who is looking to create some accessories for Macbook Pro 15" with retina display and 13" with retina display. I am looking to obtain either a "gutless" or "dummy" laptop to be able to send to Asia for sampling, etc. Or a broken version.
Does anyone know of a website to purchase such a "case"?
Thanks!

You might try eBay to see if anyone is selling just a case, or at least a for-parts laptop.

Can't turn on MacBook Pro after proper Shutdown

I can't turn on my MacBook Pro after proper shutdown. It's simply does not start at all. If I leave it over night, It boot's up normaly and I can work with it all day, restart, suspend, etc. If I shut it down or turn of with power button, it wouldn't start again. I tried to reset smc, vram, pram and nothing helped.

very indicative of a battery issue or feeding issue from same. Call Apple support for genius bar appt. to see about a repair.
When you say "wont start at all" do you mean utterly dead,....... or "wont reach to desktop",.....big difference beween the two.
If utterly dead, then battery/power issue, ......if the later, and wont reach to desktop, then corrupt OSX or other issue.

I can send photos TO my MacBook Pro from my iPhone 5S using AirDrop but not vice versa.

I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Pro, which has AirDrop enabled and is available in Finder and I am using iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5S. I can send photos to my MacBook Pro using AirDrop from my iPhone but I cannot send photos to my iPhone from my MacBook Pro using AirDrop. I have to email the photos to myself via email. Is there anyone else having a problem with this or does anyone have any advice on how to fix this problem? When dragging a photo to my listed iPhone in AirDrop on my MacBook Pro I simply get an error notification, which is very frustrating. Thank you for your time.

Sorry, please disregard this. My roommate rebooted the router while I had stepped outside and now it's all running again.
At least this will be a possible option for anyone else that has this problem

Jerricayoung,
you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

Barry, the other stolen computer, my IMac does not show me a locked on such and such date, but simply says offline. I set that computer to erase when it goes online and notify me when it is found, and to play a tone and play a message that the police are on their way!

Can i return my macbook pro after 5 months

can i return my macbook pro after 5 months

If you bought it direct from Apple, you have 14 days to return it for a full refund or toward the purchase of a different model.
After that time, if it is broken it can be repaired. If it does not suit your needs and cannot be upgraded to suit your needs, you recourse is to convert it to CASH by selling it, and apply the cash toward a computer that better suits your needs.
