Cannot find newly exported iMovie on mac, used iMovie11

i have just completed an iMovie project and exported it to finder. But, i cannot find the movie anywhere on my desktop? tried it again, and specifically specified saving location to movies, and cannot find the second copy. a search for the movie file name has come up empty? any ideas on how to export a project and actually be able to find it? need to attach to an email and send out to friends. thanks.

Hey goodhill1,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't find a movie you exported. I would recommend that you follow these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate this issue.

When searching with Spotlight, you can search for the metadata too not just the file name.
OS X Mavericks: Narrow down Spotlight search results
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14172
Search for metadata attributes
Most items contain metadata that describes the item contents, how it was created, and other attributes. For example, when you take a digital photo, information such as the camera model, the aperture, and the focal length are among the many attributes automatically stored in the file as metadata. Here are examples of what you might type in the search field when you search using metadata attributes:
trip kind:document
searches for the word “trip” in documents only.
author:tom
searches for all items written by Tom.
meeting date:tomorrow
searches for meetings you have planned for tomorrow.
kind:images created:5/16/08
searches for images created on a specific date.
kind:music by:“glenn miller”
searches for music by Glenn Miller.
modified:<=6/29/08
searches for items modified on or before a specific date.
To view metadata for a file, select the file, then choose File > Get Info.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

I cannot find the icon for office:mac 08 word on my doc, where did it go?

I cannot find the icon for Office: mac 08 word on my doc. I downloaded the whole Office: mac 2008 Home & Student Edition about a year ago and just recently the word icon disappeared. The other Office icons are still visible and i am able to use them but i cannot find the word application anywhere.

Have you used spotlight search? Typed "word" and the application doesn't appear? If it doesn't then it probably isn't around anymore.... so hit command + space ... and type "word"... what happens?

I want to copy my iPhoto library to an external drive but I cannot find the folder on my Mac Air. When I open Finder there is no Picture folder showing so I cannot find the iPhoto library.

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Pictures/ as the path. If that doesn't work, control-click a photo in iPhoto, show it in the Finder, and Command-click the folder's name in the window's title bar to find the path.

ThinkPad X230 - Test Instrument: "This device cannot find free resources that it can use (Code12)"

I am use an ExpressCard (http://www.home.agilent.com/en/pd-2053520-pn-M9045B/pcie-expresscard-adapter) to connect Lenovo notebook with instrument chassis (http://www.home.agilent.com/en/pd-1886666-pn-M9018A/18-slot-pxie-chassis).
I found that Lenovo notebook failed to enumerate with the instruments with error "This device cannot find free resources that it can use (Code12)" in device manager.
This never happened in Lenovo model ThinkPad X220 and models before that.
Other affected model: ThinkPad T430, T540p which all failed to enumerate.
Note: All notebooks are upgraded to latest BIOS.

You are going to need to move that card to another slot. That is definitely your problem. I had mine in the PCI-E X8 slot which then knocked my video card down to x8 as well. So this definitely takes up resources. Also you can use something like EVEREST of Sisoft Sandra and those will tell you what else is sharing with that card. You could have a difficult network card that is fighting with it as well. You may think that its onboard and that of course it would not fight, but it does.

K1 Cannot find newly downloaded widget in widget list and cannot start using it.

I have downloaded true weather from the googleplay website, but when I look in the widget list it's not there. If I go to applications, manage applications, downloaded, it is there but I cannot find it anywhere else to be able to move it on the home page and start using it. Where can I find it?
Rebooting the tablet didn't do any good neither.

If it's the same True Waether you are asking about, there is no widget. It's a "live wallpaper", meaning it's an animated backdround to your home screens that changes itself according to the weather in your location.
To set TrueWeather wallpaper:
1. Press the "+" at the top right of any home screen
2. Tap on Wallpaper
3. Tap on Live wallpapers
3. Choose TrueWeather (it may take a few seconds)
5. Set wallpaper

Cannot find mobilesync folder on my mac os

I've backed up my iphone several times and followed instructions on finding the sms backup files but cannot find the mobilesync folder for the life of me... It is simply not there it appears, not under the only user on the mac (both user name and the "shared") or in general Library folder...
Attached is a screenshot of the folders. Any ideas..?
Thanks for any help you can offer, I'm fairly novice Mac user having used PC's most of my life

Yo 'nycetouch'
In my perspective, I beleieve you are opening the Finder App from your Dock and seraching for /Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Its imperative that you should be seraching in the GO option on the top.
If you are not able to find GO on the top. Quit all the opened applications to find the GO
or
Doulbe tap or double left click into the Desktop screen to find GO
Under GO click on Go to Folder, in that paste
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
In my case,
/Users/Boo/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup.
It took me a while to find the GO option. I must work. Im eager to know how you are going.
JimHDK,
You are a life saver. Your instructions were really helpful.
Thanks again mate!!

I cannot find my music on my mac.

My music on my Mac disappeared. I can find the hidden library, but all of the folders are empty. And when I go on iTunes, there is I cannot find my purchase history.

It's not in music either. I saw a post about finding your library, that sometimes it is hidden. I found the library...no music or movies except something I purchased after the first of the year and a couple of days ago. It also does not show any of my children's purchases that have occurred at any time. It's very odd.

I am running Yosemite 10.10.1 and I cannot find my screen shots. They used to save to my desktop.

Please could you tell me where my screen shots are stored. when i use cmd+ctrl+shift+3 i hear the capture sound, but cannot find the picture. where is it stored?

The default location is your Desktop. If they're not going there, you can choose any other location by running this command in the Terminal and restarting.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location <path to the new location>
E.g., if you want them put into a subfolder named ScrnShts inside your user's Documents folder, the path (w/o brackets) would be:
/Users/"username"/Documents/ScrnShts
You have to substitute username for the actual username, w/o quotes, If the user's name was wootts, then the command would be:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/wootts/Documents/ScrnShts

I backed up my iphone and cannot find my "notes" on my mac

I backed up my iphone 4 in itunes. I selected (without meaning to) the option to delete the notes once they were backed up. Now I need these notes and cannot find them on my macbookpro. They are not in the mail/notes option. I was told they are hidden in a back up file. Can someone please advise how to access these notes?

Did anyone ever answer your question?

Where is my credit balance? I was gifted $50 for Christmas and used it but cannot find the balance and how to use it.

I was gifted $50 for Christmas and used it ti buy a couple of albums but now canot find the balance and how to use it.

My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
If nothing shows then have you checked your account's purchase history ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
If you have a balance then you just need to click on item's price to buy it, assuming that your balance covers its price.

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my iTunes from pc to mac. Everything seemed to work fine and it took 15 hours and said that it was successful, but I cannot find my music on my mac?

Any advice would be apprecitated.
Thanks

System Preferences/Users & Groups shows you the various user accounts you have.
Look at your hard drive in the Finder sidebar. You should see Applications, Library, System, and Users. If you look in Users you will see a Shared folder. From the user Migration Assistant created, find the iTunes folder and drag it to Shared. Log out and log in using your normal user account, go to the same place and copy it to Music in your normal user account. Another option is to leave it in shared so any user can access it. You will have to tell iTunes where to find the music by going to iTunes/Preferences/Advanced.

Cannot Find Photos on External Hard Drive Using iPhoto and Time Machine

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting on this forum and am really hoping for some help! I have a 2006 PowerBook G4 that is running iPhoto and Time Machine, and I've used an external hard drive to backup everything on the computer via Time Machine. When I plug the external hard drive into my newer 2010 MacBook Pro, I follow this path to try to access the photos:
     External Hard Drive > Backups.backupd > PowerBook G4 12" > Latest > Macintosh HD > Users > Me > Pictures > iPhoto Library
When I click "iPhoto Library", I get the following message:
     "The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library."
So, I do as the error message says and I hold down the "option" key and iPhoto launches and says:
     What Photo Library do you want iPhoto to use?
In this case, I choose "Other Library..." and again follow this path:
     External Hard Drive > Backups.backupd > PowerBook G4 12" > Latest > Macintosh HD > Users > Me > Pictures > iPhoto Library
When I choose this, I again get the following message:
     The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library.
So as you can see, I'm feeling a bit like I'm chasing my tail in trying to open these photos. I did follow another user's advice and confirm that all photos are infact on the hard drive by using the "control" button and clicking "iPhoto Library" under the pictures folder, and choosing "Show Package Contents". All looks to be in tact in the "originals" folder when showing package contents, however, I just can't find a way to actually view the photos in iPhoto. I really don't want to import all the photos to my current MacBook Pro, because I'd like them to live on the external hard drive (which is formatted for Macs) so that I can browse the photos on the external drive, rather than housing it on my computer.
One other thing I tried was opening iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and going to File > Browse Backups... which essentially opens Time Machine and shows me the photos on my MacBook Pro but gives me no option to view them from my External Hard Drive.
Any super users out there willing to lend me some help?
Thanks!

The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library.
You can have an iPhoto library on an external drive and use it from different machines
and you can have a Time Machine backup
The two can not be on the same volume - and iPhoto can not access the TM backup - it must be restored to use it

I cannot find the 'WPA passphrase' to connect my printer via wireless and cannot find it in Airport utility (MAC says it cannot find any open airports)

MAC OS X 10.6.3 - desktop Mac
I browsed similar questions and saw that someone recommended going to the Airport Utility and then selecting manual set up or something- anyways, it could not find any airports. I have brought my printer from my house as my BF's has died - this is the first time it's asked for a WPA passphrase. We tried a very long series of capital letters and numbers as well as the password for the internet and both times the printer said "invalid passphrase"..... ......

Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
I think they're using ethernet.
To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.
