Help finding files

I have 4 different hard drives and have very poor organization skills. all hard drives have been used as my scratch disk at one time or another.
I lost a *.fcp file and can't find it.I don't remember what I named it. I do know that in the browser I had a folder that had .mov files in it
I have already done a search on those .mov files and found the .mov files but have yet to find the
actual .fcp file that I was working with.... any one else know of any way to find specific .mov files that are to be in one of my .fcp file?
thank you in advance!!

How many results do you get when you Spotlight search on .fcp Dave? If it's not too many, you could hover your mouse over each one and write down all the locations where you've saved FCP project files. Narrow it down from there.
Poor organizational skill is not the issue. The issue is organizational discipline.
Store all your FCP project files on your boot volume inside a folder named FCP Projects. Inside the FCP Projects folder, each client you work for should have its own folder. All of the FCP projects for a client should live in the client's folder inside the FCP Projects folder.
Daily, back up your FCP Projects folder to another volume, and to a CD-R (or DVD-R, if the folder becomes larger than a CD-R can hold.)
All media files (captures, graphics, audio) should go on a volume that is on a different hard drive than your boot volume. If you only have two hard drives, all media should go on the media drive.
I set my Capture Scratch to the top level of my media drive. That makes folder organization for all captures and renders easier for me to handle.
As far as it is possible for you to do, put all media files for a project on the same media drive. That will make organization easier as well.
But whatever method you use for folder and file organization, stick to it in a disciplined way. That's the key.

Help finding files for SSO

Hi everyone,
We're trying to setup SSO at my company using this article (we're on Apex 3.1.2):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html
Everything is going smoothly so far, but we're now caught at Step 5:
Step 5 - (only necessary if SSO SDK was installed after installing Application Express)
a. Locate the custom_auth_sso source files for your Application Express installation.
b. Connect as SYS and from the location of the files run:
alter session set current_schema = flows_xxxxxx;
@custom_auth_sso.sql
@custom_auth_sso.plb
grant execute on wwv_flow_custom_auth_sso to public;
The problem is very simple - we're not sure where to find the "custom_auth_sso" source files and unfortunately, I am not a DBA, so my understanding of this is limited. Unfortunately, the DBA I am working with - his knowledge is seemingly equally as limited... So, my hunch is that these files should be somewhere on the db server where ApEx is installed, but the DBA is telling me they are not there. So, in order to get these two files, do I need to re-install ApEx somewhere or is there an easier way?
Please excuse my ignorance on this matter, thank you in advance for your help!
Best,
Dan

Dan,
Look in the /utilities directory of the main APEX ZIP file.

Need help finding moved image files

How would I find files after they have been moved? I travel and use a MB Pro laptop. The workflow I'm using is to download images to my desktop, review, rate and add keywords immediately. I make 2 backups, 1 to portable data store hard drive and one to DVD. Then every few days I erase the desktop image files. When I arrive home I download the entire trip's images from the portable storage to my desktop drives (2 500Gb SATA drives).
Is there an easy way to direct Aperture to look for the files in the new location? Or, failing that, is there a better way to work? I regularly have 40 - 60 Gb of images after a trip and the laptop hard drive is inadequate for the task.

The question isn't really clear to me yet. If you know what "the new location" is, then it's easy to make Aperture point to it. But that may not be the question. I think you may need to describe your workflow in more detail.
You don't say how to review etc images on the MBP. If you're using Aperture, it must be with a library. Are you using Managed images there? So is the problem how to transfer data -- images and edits and metadata -- from the library on the MBP to the library (with referenced images??) on the desktop?
Synchronizing libraries is not something Apple makes easy or offers any real help with. The best way to do it turns out to be to export one project at a time, connect to the other machine and its library, and import the projects. (In the process you might also Relocate images to make them referenced.)
But your note about the laptop drive being to small is confusing. I don't see where your images are when you're on the road.

TS1424 i need help finding a purchase that somebody made on my cedit card without my knowledge to itunes and i want to file a claim

i need help finding a purchase that somebody made on my cedit card without my knowledge titunes and i want to file a claim

You can view purchases via Store > View My Account on your computer's iTunes (and you can view subscriptions). If you want to contact iTunes support then you can do so via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Help. My ITunes library content vanished. Cannot find files anywhere .

Help. My ITunes library content has vanished. Cannot find files anywhere . Still accessing store via my phone and all my purchases are there etc but on my laptop the library is empty.. I have AVG and have put Itunes as exception as read that might be an issue. Im really not sure what to do .

Hi sooz180,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you can see all of your purchased music on your iPhone but the library on your computer in iTunes is empty. If the music was purchased from iTunes you can get this music back to your iTunes Library two different ways. You can either transfer purchases from the iPhone to the iTunes Library, or you can just download the music again from the Purchased section of iTunes. I will post the information on both ways to recover your purchased music below.

Find files and establish links to help organize my computer

I was advised to post this here instead of where I initially posted it:
Like a lot of people, I have accumulated eBooks at different times and they are scattered all over several drives. I want to organize them. I am trying to remember how to make a UNIX script to do what I want. Then I can put it on a cron so that it will automate the process for me
What I want to do:
Find all .epub files
place a link to those files in file:///Users/my_name/Documents/ePub Links/
If this can't work then even to find and move all of the .epubs would work; however, I would prefer to use a link because I also want, with suitable alteration, to use the script to organize my pdf files. Some of those pdf files need to be left where they are because they are manuals; but, again, I would like a central list so I do not keep looking, online, for files I already have.

Smart Folders is the way to go, however, to find files, use "find".
To find in your Home Directory and any attached drives:
find ~ /Volumes/ -iname '*.epub'
To create a symbolic link:
find ~ /Volumes/ -iname '*.epub' -exec ln -s {} "file:///Users/my_name/Documents/ePub Links/" \;
Not sure if find will look in "file:///Users/my_name/Documents/ePub Links/" (which you don't want), but if it does, we can exclude this directory with the -prune option.

Print window in version 8.1.2 can't find file to print

Version 8.1.2, I'm trying to print a PDF from a medical website, i'm prompted to save or open the PDF file. I choose open. The applet opens up as to print, then an error message appears, unable to find file. But if I save the file to my desktop, then open it up, it prints fine. I have this version running on 4 others servers, no problems there. Anything else to look for? I've also checked the version of java on the servers, also the same version Java 2 Runtime Enviorment SE v1.4.2_06, and Runtime Enviorment 5.0 update 9? Also checked to make sure the plugins were using the same. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried, importing the music into iTunes again? So delete the music from iTunes only not the system, & then import to see if it finds your musics?

Can't find files using Finder

MBP running OS X 10.8.4
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Starting about two weeks ago, Finder stopped finding files on my MBP. Previously, if I were to look for a photo named "IMG_1234", I would simply search on "1234" and any and all files containing 1234 in the name would appear. Now, I get no return to my Finder search.
Spotlight still does return a full list of all files though.
I believe that whatever this problem is, it is also impacting other search-related functions (e.g., when looking to attach a file in Hotmail or to upload a photo to Facebook). I'm now unable to find a specific file on my HD using the browse function of those webpages.
This problem seemed to originate on a day when I was uploading photos to Facebook. I was able to find and upload several files without issue, then the ability to find specific photos just stopped working. It was at that point that the Finder search started returning no responses.
Any suggestions regarding causes/solutions to this issue? The files for which I am searching are definitely still on my HD. I'm wondering if I inadvertantly turned off a setting somewhere that impacts where Finder is searching.
Thanks for any help.

How to develop a windows find files like utility in java

hi,
I am writing a java program that provides the same functionality as provided by the Windows find files option. is there some windows dll or something like that i can use thru JNI or is there some better solution?
any help will be appreciated.
regards

If your program has to be portable, I think it would be better to develop Java code in order to search through file system.
I think you should develop objects that allows to filter files (implementing FileFilter interface) and return a list of the found files to your graphical objects.
You can use the java.io.File.listFiles(FileFilter) method to retrieve a list of files from a given directory.
Write several FileFilter classes (and why not FilenameFilter classes) to provide different way of filtering. Each of those will be used with the listFiles method.
But do not forget that the way you write your filefilters will change the performance of your program.
There is also another problem you might encounter : File Access Rights. If your file system contains file restrictions, the listFiles method may throw SecurityException (if a SecurityManager is created) or return null (if no SecurityManager is set).

Cannot find file #01, do you want to search?"

We recorded a song yesterday and saved it as properly as the other sessions we also recorded. Today I want to open it, but it always says "Cannot find file #01, do you want to search?" But I've got the problem only with one file, the other songs are ok.
The odd thing is: the file is there, also the tracks in the file and the recordings in the tracks appear. But the music inside the recordings is gone. Also the media file is empty. I'm quite desperate and my band will kill me. Can anybody help?

Did you move the songs to the current folder AFTER you added them to iTunes? Sounds like you did. Big mistake. You may just have to delete you library and re-import them from the current folder. Once you've done that, leave the files where they are. iTunes can't track where you're moving your music to from one place to the next.

SEVERE: null : Can't find file '/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml'

I'm trying to get Tiles to work with Struts on my server. I'm running a local instance of Tomcat v5.5. Development environment is Eclipse. I"ve looked everywhere on the web and can't find any solutions that work. I've been working on this for several days now. It shouldn't be this hard...
I appreciate any help or suggestions people might have. I would really like to get beyond the configuration $#!^ and start coding.
Thanks in advance!!!
