File icon invisible.  How can I find it?

I have two files on my Intel iMac.  I know they are there but the icons do not appear for some reason.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

If you know their names use Spotlight or any other search utility (e.g., Find any File) to find them.  If you know the files on some other basis, e.g., mod date, you could try using spotlight (or FAF) to search on that basis.  Type command+f in finder to bring up that sportlight find facility.  This will also allow searching for invisible files.

    Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
    What version did you have?
    Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

  • After updating my I-phone 4s to iOS 7 my Contact icon disappears , how can I find it ?

    After updating my I-phone 4s to iOS 7 my contact icon disappears, how can I find it ?

    You need to try a reset on the phone. Contacts is a native iOS application and cannot be deleted. Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you cannot find it after that, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • I can't export my movie because a file is missing, how can I find it?

    I've spent ages making a movie and now it says cannot export because a movie file cannot be found. I have no idea what file this is! It says it is called 'Trim 1' but this doesn't appear to be any of my movie files. I did have some problems importing some movie files which then wouldn't show up - could this be the problem? And it says that without this file, the movie cannot play properly! How can I identify this file and delete it?

    many thanks, that's perfect.
    it tells me that the feature i am trying to us is on a network resource that is unavaiable. click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package. 'iTunes64msi' in the box below.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Duplicate Files...How can I find them all?

    I have many duplicate files. How can I locate them all so I can organize them (delete the ones I don't need)? Is there a program that will do this?

    kyrospeare,
    How did you figure out that you have duplicate files?
    What/where are they?
    You will inevitably be the best judge of what files are duplicates. Although there are applications such as Spring Cleaning 8.0 the reviews are not flattering. Although I have not used it, I have heard that in the hands of an inexperienced user it can create havoc.

  • Mistakenly deleted 3 files from iTunes, how can i find out which?

    My iTunes library is manually managed.
    I accidently deleted 3 files in my iTunes library: my iTunes library has 8921 songs. My music folder in the finder has 8924. So I basically 3 files on my finder are not in iTunes.
    I don't want to empty my iTunes library and repopulate it with my music folder, because that would remove all my ratings, and disturb the real date added thing.
    Thanks for any suggestions
    Nick

    Why not simply use the "Add to library" line in the file menu and target your music folder? Should just add back the 3 songs without changing anything else.

  • When I find a file with spotlight how can I find out where it is?

    I need to know the directory path to it.
    In case it matters I'm using Lion on an iMac.

    Mac 101: Spotlight does't go into it, but as far back as I can remember Snow Leopard, Leopard and maybe even Tiger had a pop-up name and path feature.
    Sorry for not getting back sooner, it took me a couple of tries to capture the pop-up because it kept re-hiding, plus I'm working on moving the desks and Macs in my office to make room for my new Mid 2010 Mac Mini.

  • When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

    When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
    All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
    I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
    Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

    Anyone?

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

  • How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to when synchronising with outlook

    I´ve switched to iphone 4S from my 3Gs and would like to "clean" my itunes Sync before I use the new phone. Problem is, that the synchronisation with Outlook 2003 doesn´t work anymore. I guess the reason is that itunes refers to an old .ost or .pst file on my computer. I ve got several outlook profiles and changed from exchange to pop3. My question: How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to?
    Thanks a lot in advance :-)

    Select the tune and then - Get Info - in the dialog box is a note of the Apple ID used to purchase.

  • How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

    How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

    I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
    Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
    Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
    MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
    MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
    Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
    As for sound quality:
    Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
    MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
    MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
    MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
    I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
    The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

  • How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?

    How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
    I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.

    I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

    After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
    So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
    Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

    I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
    The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
    The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality.  and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
    Good luck.
