Having trouble locating files since updating the operating system
I recently did the recommended system update on OS X Yosemite - now 10.10.1. I am having trouble locating updated files. In the old system, when I updated an excel worksheet, it appeared at the top of my "my applications" list with bold print listing it as updated today. Today I updated a bunch of files and they were all hidden 3/4 of the way down my list of files - I guess in the location of the original file, back amongst files from early 2014/late 2013. And now the type face which says "today" is just as pale as the rest of the dates. Is there anyway to change this? Is there anyway to go back to the prior version? I spent 2 minutes looking for a file and then had to spend more than a minute looking for the one right next to it when I needed to find it, even after knowing the general location to look!
Thank you if anyone can help. Barbara
Thank you that helps.
There are a lot of other things I'd like to ask but I guess I'll look at the manual and see if I can figure them out thanks a lot!

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?
What does "gets stuck" mean?
It repeats?
It stops playing?
Have you tried the basics from the manual? Restart. Reset. Restore. -
I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success. Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.3mb and starts to process the file. Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out. The network is still connected.
Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.

The icon of Youtube is not after the update the operating system
Hello, I was update the operating system when the Ipad was disponible I didn't see the icon of Youtube. This icon is like a t.v. (is the original)
can you help me?The YouTube app is not included with iOS 6. Google offers their own app for free via the iTunes Store, though they do not yet have an iPad version. The iPhone version will work, though not at the full screen size. There are probably also third-party alternatives, one of which may suit you better.
Regards.

Will I have the ability to continue to edit my video from a Canon MV430i camcorder if I update the operating system on my iMac to OS10:5 Leopard?
No you won't, iMovie 6 will continue to work, and having two or more versions of iMovie should not be a problem.

I have recently updated the operating system on my iPad. Now my alarm is silent and my FaceTime doesn't ring aloud when a call comes in. How do I fix this please?
Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
Or do you have system sounds muted?
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

My iPad does not automatically update the operating system.how can I accomplish this?
Your post says you are on iOS 4.3.2. You need to be at least at iOS 5 to have a "Software Update" capability on your iPad. Right now, you need to update your iPad using iTunes on your computer.
Plug your iPad into iTunes (current version: 11.0.4). Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates" from the iPad's summary page in iTunes. -
im running mac os x V10.5.8 on my macbook pro. Is there anyway i can update the operating system to os x lion?
If it's a Core Duo Mac, no.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X DVD, and if the computer can't run 10.8, a download code for 10.7.

Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2
Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 on my Macbook6,1 from Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Will this affect the performance of my computer in a negative way, and if the benefits outweigh it? Thanks.
While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

How do I update the operating system in an iPad2?
How do I update the operating system in an ipad2?
I suggest that you don't, the new operating system stinks. But if you want too, go to settings, general, and then software update. If your iPad will support it, it will update.

Why am I suddenly getting the following error message: "The specified location is reserved by the operating system and is not permitted. Please choose a different location." I've been recording all night and I haven't changed any of the parameters.
Hi Tom,
Looks like we have problem here as we see another blank post from you here. It's probably something to do with your email. Let me send you a PM with my email address and we can communicate that way.
Thanks,

I updated the operating system in my iPad, but now I can't open apps.....they just wiggle when I try!
Don't hold your finger down for an excess amount of time. Just quickly tap and release on the app icon.
