How to do I find the files I restored from my USB

Grandkids playing online video games and the whole pc crashed. Have it up and running and reinstalled programs. Cannot find the files/pictures/folders/ documents I restored that were backed up on USB

@tallylassy
Lok in the backup folder for a file with .exe extension.If you have that it should start the transfer of files to your machin_C:\System Recovery. You can then move them wherever you want them.
@NewbieL
Your usb flash drive is evidently not recognized as a useable device for Backup. Do you have it plugged in during the scheduling? Is it plugged directly into usb port, not a multi-port hub? You may have to invest in an external usb hdd.

How to find the file that delete from time capsule?

How to find the file that delete from time capsule?

I mean I saved JPEG file in Time capsule and unfortunately delete the file. Can I get it back
IF.... .no other backups have occured since you deleted the file, you might be able to retrieve it using an application like Disk Warrior. It's about $100 as I recall, and there are no guarantees that it will work.
DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory ...
Any of the free or low priced utilities that you might see or try will not be able to retrieve a deleted file from a Time Capsule.
If any backups have occured since you deleted the file, the deleted file has almost certainly been overwritten. No way to retrieve it in that case.

Where could I find the file been download from mail?

Where could I find the file been download from mail?

Unless you've got an app that supports the file type, and you've used Mail's 'open in' function (by holding the attachment and selecting where to store/copy the file), then the file/attachment will only be attached to the email itself in the Mail app.

What is the name of the Bookmarks file? I just bought a new computer and can't find the file to transfer from the old computer. I'm going from Windows XP to Windows 7

I was running Firefox 4.1 on a 32 Bit Windows XP Computer. I just bought a 64 Bit Windows 7 computer and reinstalled Firefox. I backed up all of my XP programs and data to an external drive but I can't find a file for my previous Firefox Bookmarks. What is the filename and possible folder where I can find my old bookmarks and how do I import them into my new version?

Bookmarks and history are stored together in your profile folder in a database file named places.sqlite. These articles should help with restoring as much or as little of your other profile as you like:

HT1199 My iTunes music list all have the exclamation point. I do not know how to find the files to restore the music. Any advice?

All the songs in my iTunes have the exclamation point. I do not know how to find location of the music...any suggestions?

Ok, your music could be in one of a coupel formats, MP3 or, more likely, Apples AAC format, which has a m4a prefix. Open Finder. Hold Command and press F, this will open a search window in the top of Finder. Type mp3 here, let it search. If it finds your music files, double tap on one and "open Enclosing Folder" That should show you where they are at. If nothing is found, try searching m4a instead. One of the two should show you where your music is.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?

If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE

Under Network Preferences, select the WiFi
click on "Advanced..." button
Select the network you want to delete from the list and click on "-"
Click "Ok"
Click "Apply"
Well done ;-)
You may also want to delete the wireless key from Keychain.
Open Keychain, seach for the old wifi network name, slect it and click delete

I downloaded a .zip file. It ate up my space and i cant find the file. How do i get this file off my phone?

I downloaded a .zip file. It ate up my space and i cant find the file. How can i get this file off my phone?

Not possible. Safari won't download and save a Zip file. You either had to use a 3rd party app, or as wjosten suggests, your phone is jailbroken. If the former, you'll need to use that app to find it. If the latter, you'll have to look elsewhere for assistance.

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

How can I find the file of my Apple Device shared project?

I'm not sure if this a Final Cut Pro question or an iTunes question...
I shared a project from Final Cut Pro to the Apple Devices (so that I could watch the video on my Apple TV). I found the video in Home Movies in iTunes, and actually watched it successfully through Apple TV.
But a day or two later, when I look for the video again in Home Movies in iTunes , I get this message: "The video [video title] could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Yes I would.
But I don't know where to look in Finder to find it? Does anyone know where these video files actually go when we share them? (Is this one of those cases where it's a hidden file, and I need to unhide them to see them? If so, how do I do that?)

The step by step process...
When my project is ready to go,
1. I select File>Share>Apple Devices 1080p
2. That opens an Apple Devices 1080p pop-up window
3. I use the default setting (which says it adding to playlist "Library"
4. after a few minutes I receive a notification of "share successful)
5. I open itunes, and can watch the newly shared video on my computer screen (my other videos are listed too, but if I try to watch them I get the message "The video [video name] could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?")
6. I find the video on Apple TV by going to my computer, my library, Home Movies
7. I watch the video on Apple TV (some of the old videos are listed, others aren't)
8. Soon thereafter, I return to iTunes on my computer, and now, when I try to watch the newly-shared video, I get the same error message I documented above.
9. I return to the Apple TV and now I get an error message when I try to watch the video
This is iTunes 11.1.0.50
and FCP 10.1.4
Also, I'm editing videos with an external drive as my video source. I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.
Also, also, per your suggestion, I looked at the Library icon>Show Package Contents>Project Name>Shared Items but couldn't find any of the video files that disappeared. But I did run a quick test to watch all my steps, and I COULD find the file of that latest video. So now I know where to look. That said, I'm going to leave the latest test video there, and see if it disappears soon too.

When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?

When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file? It does not happen with all the pictures.

Is you library a "referenced" or "managed" library:
That message is generated when a library is a "referenced" library and the location of the files have been moved from where they were when originally imported into iPhoto.
Are the photos that this is happening to in the same Event(s)?
What system are your running? Where is your library located? How much free space do you have on your boot drive?
