Finder search for; all movies, photos, documents

Does anyone know how to clear the search for categories without deleted the original files. I have reloaded some photos and now have duplicates and triplicates. There does not seem to be a method of clearing all of the "search for" fields without causing larger problems.
Thanks to anyone who has a fix for this.

Search does not create files.

I don't understand. What larger problems?

Please describe in detail your problem. I cannot understand what you are asking.

  • I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

    You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
    If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

    P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

  • Lost the Search For "All Movies" icon from the Finder window.

    When I used to GO to Applications there was a "search for" option on the bottom left where I could click on "All Images"or "All Documents" or "All Movies". My son went to drag "All Movies into the main body and it literally went "pooof" and is no longer there. And I can't find a bunch of movies that was previously there. How do I get that option back? (it was next to a little purple box with a cog in it) or is there another way to see all movies on the computer . Thanks.

    Hi,
    click on the Desktop, then
    Finder Menu >Preferences>Sidebar tab
    recheck the "All Movies" box

  • How can I stop extracted clips goes to search for "all movies"?

    When you click open a Macintosh system drive that is running Leopard OS X 10.5.2. On the bottom right side, under "SEARCH FOR" you will see "All Movies".
    I am reloading all my LOST footage because I deleted clips for more space in the system drive. Right now all extracted clips goes to an External Hard Drive. However, every single clips I extracted are also in the "All Movies: Folder. How can I stop that? Or can I stop that?

    Everyone can still use the same Apple ID. What you need to do is go into - "Settings" , "Messages", "Receive At", and add a different Email for each user for where they can be reached for messages at. Once you have added a new Email to each device delete the original Email that was there which should have been the same as your Apple ID. Then when you send a new message, send the message to the Email for that person that was just added to their iPhone. There is no need for each family member to create their own Apple ID just to use iMessage. Each family member would only need to create their own Apple ID if everyone wanted to use iCloud and not have all family members data, contacts, calendars, etc sync together. If you are also using FaceTime between iPhones do the the same thing in the FaceTime settings.

  • What is the Search for:-  All images/All documents/all movies for in Finder

    I am confused as to the purpose of Search for:- All images/documents/movies in Finder. I seem to have documents, pictures and music I have never seen or downloaded, and often photos I have actually downloaded are copied in triplicate sometimes more. I have at times got 10,000 items in my documents in Search for? My worry really is does this all take up memory on my computer and if so why is it happening and how do I stop it?
    I do hope someone can explain the purpose of the Search For?
    Jai309

    Thanks Kappy, I had thought that is what it probably was but just confused by all the items I never searched for or downloaded. Now that I know it doesn't take up any memory I shan't worry about it. When I deleted everything from the search for files all the photos in my iphoto and documents were also removed. (thankfully I always have my stuff backed up on hard drive) I guess one just shouldn't remove them? Is there a safe way to clear it out without loosing the stuff I need to keep?
    Regards

  • How to search for a Movie?

    I'm looking for the movie "Roots" which lasts probably 12 or 14 hours. I found 'Episode One' in a list with a billion songs called 'roots', but can't find the whole movie for purchase. How do I search for a movie without all the songs included in the list, and is it possible that iTunes doesn't sell the whole movie "Roots" in one fell swoop?

    If you are referring to the show based on Alex Haley's book, it wasn't a movie, it was a TV miniseries and so is multiple episodes and must be purchased as such or as a Season. If you do a Power Search for TV Shows and use Roots in the Show field, you'll find all the episodes. Here's the link to the original series:
    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTVSeason?id=255117456&s=14 3441
    and here's Roots: The Next Generation:

  • Error during search for WM movement type (999   E  )

    Dear ALL,
    I am try to reverse transaction 313. i use movement 314 but there is error message during creating delivery. the message is
    "Error during search for WM movement type (999   E  )"
    Could someone help me please ?
    Thanks & Best regrads,
    Saiful arif

    Hi,
    Please check the reference  movement type  in table V_156S_WM for inventory movement 314 and for your case of qty and value update indicators
    For qty updation indicator checked, you will have a reference movement type 3XX and not equal to 999
    for  qty updation indicator not checked, you will have reference movement type 999
    qty updation indicator checked means stock / quantity controlled in which case
    check your set up in transaction OMLR , reference movement 3XX from above table should be assigned to a proper WM movement type 3YY
    then check for WM movement 3YY in Transaction OMLJ which should have source storage  type maintained.
    qty updation indicator not checked means stock / quantity not controlled or updated in which case reference movement type is 999 which has no maitenance in OMLR,  moreover it is no stock / qty and no stock transfers situation
    If 3XX happens to be 999 in your case, then check for 3YY movement in OMLR and check for storage type determination for 3YY in OMLJ
    Please note 999 as WM movement  is used for manual transfer within warehouse but not for warehouse movements resulting from IM.
    Hope this should solve your problem.

  • Error during search for WM movement type (911)

    Hi gurus,
    I am using tx code MB1A (Mov type 911). When I try to save it I received the following error message:
    "Error during search for WM movement type (911)"
    any idea of this message?
    Thanks in advance

    The probable reason is that the storage location is Warehouse Managed and the system is not able to find a WM movement corresponding to the IM movement in the warehouse. Please check if the IM Movement type 911 mapped to a WM movement type for the warehouse in configuration?

  • Can iTunes search for all music on my system and rebuild the library?

    Is there any way to make iTunes search for all music on my hard drive and completely rebuild the library from scratch?
    Thanks.

    do you know how to re-locate files to an existing library?
    All of a sudden, about 2/3 of my songs (over 6,000) will not play and a box comes up saying "The song 'x' could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    I went to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and have the correct (fixed) external drive letter selected for the folder location. and the files haven't moved, but iTunes isn't finding them. Restarted the computer making sure the drive was on.
    I'd like to not lose all the ratings I've worked on. Hoping you or someone has a solution!!
    thanks!

  • HT4847 Lost my pictures that were backed up in iCloud.  How do I find/search for them?

    Lost my pictures that were backed up in iCloud.  How do I find/search for them?

    Unfortunately, you cannot view them and I would not recommend to only store your photos via iCloud, because iCloud will only do a backup of your device including the photos that you have currently stored in your Camera Roll. I would recommend to store them (manually or via Photo Stream) on Mac/PC or with another cloud storage service like Dropbox.

  • How do I search for all "missing" tracks within the iTunes database?

    I found the dreaded ! of death, and sadly I verified the tacks indeed are not on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to sort on this tag so that I can see what else might be missing on my hard drive but remains in the database (sort of similar to how you can search for all tracks that have missing artwork)? 

    Thanks.  It works perfectly.
