  • How can i see others files in mac air

    I want to manage the storage in my Mac Air but I don't know how to visualize "others" files so I can review what I have there...

    Finder > Go > all my files
    then arrange by size, or by date  ,etc. to see what you need to offload to an external HD.
    disk expert, or daily disk applications on the APP Store are also very handy for that as well.

  • Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- but can not see hidden files

    Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- read on how to do this, but this involves being able to see the hidden fiels -- but can not see hidden files...any suggestions. Would like to transfer these files from iPod Touch to new laptop without software -- is that possible -- if not can anyone recommend a good free software to use?

    There is no way to do so without software. I recently had a similiar task and was suggested to use iExplorer. It worked like a charm. 
    Refer to this page for iExplorer
    Here is the page I was helped with on this task for reference: Export Songs
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I see my files on Time Capsul

    How can I see my files on Time Capsul

    Do you mean Time Machine files or ordinary files.. ??
    Did you copy files to the TC? It should just open in the finder as long as the TC is available and the airport utility shows it connected.
    If you want to see the contents of the TM files.. open the sparsebundle and use main Time Machine icon in the dock.

  • How can I see what file's are in  a directory

    I'm want to make a program for brosing the harddisk and copying and editing file's.
    I already can copy them but:
    How can I see what file's are in a directory and how can I see
    what subdirectory's are in a directory so I can show them to the user?
    I dont't know if it does matter if If I'm on a windows or linux platform, when it does please tell me for the windows?

    I believe this works for a directory of reasonable size.
    import java.io.File;
    final public class FileSearch {
        public File current;
        public String path;
        public File[] files;
        public FileSearch(File dir){
           try {
              current = dir;
              files = dir.listFiles();
           } catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
        public void currentSearch() {
           for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
              if (files.isFile()) {
    System.out.println(files[i].toString());
    public void searchFiles(){
    for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
    if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
    System.out.println();
    System.out.print("directory: ");
    System.out.println(files[i].toString());
    try {
    FileSearch sub = new FileSearch(files[i]);
    sub.currentSearch();
    sub.searchFiles();
    sub= null;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
    FileSearch search = new FileSearch(new File("."));
    search.currentSearch();
    search.searchFiles();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();

  • How can i see hidden characters for email passwords?

    how can I see hidden characters for email passwords?

    You can't.  Under what circumstances are you hoping to see the characters?  When you type them in?  You do see each character as you type it in for a fraction of a second.  But you can't see the whole thing.

  • How can i remove MacKeeper from my macbook air?

    How can i remove MacKeeper from my macbook air?

    Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
    ☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

  • How can i install iwork dvd in Macbook Air?

    Somebody know how can i install iwork dvd in Macbook Air? I try to use the CD compartment from my Macbook pro, but it don't work... tks

    First, share your MB pro DVD drive on the network in System Preferences > Sharing.
    Insert the iWork DVD into the MBpro's drive.
    Then go to your MBair and click "Remote Disc" in the Finders Sidebar.
    You'll see your MBpro listed in the finder window.  Click the arrow next to The MBpro name and you'll see the shared DVD.  Double click that and the installation process should begin.
