Can't find new e-mails in the library
Hi everybody
My wife has a MacBook running on 10.5.6. After a computer crash (even Time Machine couldn't save the data), everything had to be reinstalled. Only problem is, since then, e-mails sent or received do show up in Mail, but NOT in the library files. What gives? I need these .emlx files, so I can do some tests on them.
Thanks in advance!

Hmmm that's a bit of a worry if Spotlight can't pick up any files with .emlx extension.
What puzzles me is that you say that Mail shows the email messages in the viewer but you can't find them on the disk. If they are showing up in the Mail viewer then they've got to be on the HD.
Open finder and then in the Search box type emlx.
Click on the icon that looks like a gear.
Select the option "Show Search Criteria".
Click "kind" and select "File Extension". I that is not listed as an option then click "other".
Scroll down the list presented and choose File extension and then click OK.
You should now see the heading "File extension" and a box you can enter text.
Type emlx in that box then click on the Spotlight field where you typed in emlx in the first step and backspace to erase those characters.
The lower window should now reveal your messages.
Click on one of them and then Ctrl+Click (right click) and select "Open in Enclosing Folder".
The path should be shown at the bottom of the Finder window but to see that more clearly change the view to Column and then you can scroll to the left to see the folder structure.

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?
You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion -
my wifi password changed but I can't find a way to enter the new password....I keep getting a message "unable to join network" (since it has the old password in it)
Thanks!!! I actually used the "reset network settings" process but my guess is that I will now have to re-enter passwords for the networks I use...seems they should have made an easy way to simply change a password for a specific network since a lot of folks change them regularly for security reasons....thanks for the responses!!!

I purchased a new mac and am trying to migrate my hard drive from the old to the new. I follow the instructions, but my source computer can not find my target computer. The target has no problem finding the source. Any suggestions as to how I can get this done?

Can't find new iPhoto folders in finder
Hello - when I create a new folder in iPhoto I expect then to be able to find it and any contents through the Finder. Yet this does not happen on my Macbook. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here?
when I create a new folder in iPhoto I expect then to be able to find it and any contents through the Finder.
Why? IPhoto is your Photo Manager. Like iTunes is your Music Manager. It's not designed to be accessed via the Finder.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here?
There's nothing wrong here.
IPhoto is a database application and what you see in the iPhoto Window is not necessarily reflected in the Finder at all. For instance, there is no Folder of images for every album, an Album is an instruction to the app to display certain photos together. This is why a pic can be in 50 albums and take up no extra space.
Your Pics are stored in the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
To Access your Photos:
For Editing in another Application:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
For any other use:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Simply enter the configurations menu from settings, go to personal config and the account should be listed there, select options and delete.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.
The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

How do I transfer files from a flash drive to my new iMac? I get a folder with "no name" that I can live with but I can't find a way to transfer the flass drive files to to iMac hard drive.

Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!
Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

Where can I find a full list of the Logic Pro X Software Instruments?
Where can I find a full list of the Logic Pro X Software Instruments (the ones you can play with a MIDI keyboard)? From what I've read so far, there are a number of new software instruments in the LPX additional content (as well as loops, etc, but I'm looking for the software instruments). I cannot seem to find this information in the product pages or documentation, though.
With older versions, I was able to find a list of all of the software instruments that came with the software, and all of the software instruments that came with the Jam Packs. Is that list available from Apple, or does anyone have one from somewhere else?Hi Guys,
I exported my folders from a clean LPX install, does this give you what you want?
First one is the Patch instruments:

Just downloaded DW CC. Bought expensive book that tells me to use "Expanded Workspace" but the only options I see in window or workspace button are "Design" Extract" and one other. No where can I find "Expand" or "Compact" which the books says are the two choices.
Glad to be of help .
I won't be spending any more money on expensive books now that I know you can't actually get one that applies to the latest version.
Don't get me wrong. I like books. Classroom in a Book series is an excellent resource to have. You will learn a lot from it. Just don't get side-stepped by Creative Cloud's update schedule. No publishing house can keep pace with it. If you stay informed about new releases from Adobe's "What's New" Blogs, you will get your money's worth out of your books. Online Help (F1) is another good resource to use since it is updated fairly often.

Where can I find my picture files in the finder?
I download iPhoto with another person's account, so I never could update the new versions; because I don't know the password, and the person cannot enter to the account anymore. Now apple doesn't let me open iPhoto, because the version is too old, 9.2.1 to be exclaty. Where can I find my picture files in the finder, so I can export them and save them?
There should be an iPhoto Library in the Users> "user account" > Pictures folder.
You may also try to see about finding them through the user finder window where it says search for 'all images.'
Not sure about the rest of that situation.
Good luck & happy computing! -
