How to select/ show all files NOT currently in a Collection?

Is there an easy way to show all files in a catalog not currently assigned to ANY (non-smart) collection?
Can i set up a Smart Collection to do this?

thanks!  i should have mentioned that is the technique (excluding a,b,c,d,...) i currently use.
i rephrased the question more specifically, looking for a more elegant/ LR "aware" way of doing this over here:

  • How can I delete all files not authorized for this computer?

    Hi there,
    first off, I promise right here and now, that I will never buy a DRMed song or video again...
    And here is my probelm: I'm using my Mac and iTunes for ages and all things were perfectly fine. I used to have a girlfriend and both of us had our iTunes accounts and were buying stuff everyday.
    After some time we split-up and I kept the computer with the files and the authorization - no worries.
    But then my LogicBoard died. Now apart from the fact that all over sudden half of my music that I used to listen to for years doesn't work any longer I also have a lot of explaining with my new GF to do.
    Ok, guys, please help me out: How on earth do I find ALL the songs that were bought with that specific account and just delete them? (So what, if half the music is gone, but I have to act one fast!).
    thanks for your help!

    Just to let everyone know that there seems to be NO solution for this problem. I contacted the iTunes Support and they told me to go through the library one by one and delte all the songs manually.
    Well, what can I say? I wasted many hours of my life, I went through thousands of songs and delted hundreds of them manually. I'm very frustrated with Apple that they don't provide a function to solve issues like that more elegantly and I'm even more upset with the content industry. I still feel that the music industry is not interested in people enjoying their legally bought products and hope that the current economic downturn wipes out the music industry as we know it.
    I like music, I like to support musicians (not the studio bosses) but I hate the fact that when we purchased DRMed music in times where everyone was using P2P and alternatives like iTunes Plus and Amazon MP3s I, as an honest customer, am now much worse off than if I had pirated the music.
    My advice to all: Hands-off DRMed songs and movies! You will end up in trouble even if it seems to be all easy now and it is just not worth the pain!

  • HT4759 how do i show all my notes from my i phone in i cloud?

    nothing is showing up in my notes on my pc i cloud although i have many on my i phone. any help appreciated

    Hi rufusrea,
    Here is some info about Notes that may help:
    iOS: Syncing Notes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
    If notes are not syncing as expected, check the following:
    Ensure that Notes is enabled for that account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.
    In Notes on your iOS device or Mac, verify that your notes are not stored in a local folder. Example: On My iPhone or On My Mac. If you have notes in these folders, you will need to copy or transfer them to iCloud or IMAP to sync with your other devices.
    Cheers!

  • Photos that have been deleted to aperture trash cannot be viewed. Any assistance is welcome in fixing this bug. The showing all files option is selected in the filter. System is 10.8.4, aperture version 3.4.5

    Photos that have been deleted to aperture trash cannot be viewed. Any assistance is welcome in fixing this bug. The showing all files option is selected in the filter. System is 10.8.4. Aperture version 3.4.5. Used to be able to view the files then all of a sudden they have stop appearing. Once the aperture trash is emptied the files can be viewed in the system trash. Becomes quite annoying if you want to review the aperture trash files before deletion.

    Cookiemonster, previously Frank Caggiano's magic helped in this situation - have you tried the double, double Caggiano as described here?

    In the most recent version I cannot get this trick to work, however. But try it anyway, maybe it is just my macthat has an issue.
    Did this happen directly after the update? Where is your library located, on an external or an internal drive? Are your originals managed or referenced?
    I'd try next to check, if this is caused by the library, by creating a small test library and trying to trash pictures there. If it works well in a new library try to repair the database and the permissions on your regular library.  See:

  • Finder dose not show all files

    finder dose not show all files and is not open.
    nothing is shown on the desktop.
    how is it fixed?

    Could be disk corruption or bad perference file (s).
    You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
    1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive.  You should have a several gigs free.
    2) You should run disk utility
         Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
         a) verify the disk
         b) update your permissions.
    3) Try a safe boot.
        Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
          is being checked.

    I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
    recreate the library I believe.  It's been a while so I cant remember
    exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
    have had no problems with it.

  • How can I show all missing content in iTunes library?

    How can I show all missing content (ie. show the exclamation mark against each track)? I can restore the missing content but need to know what is missing without running each track.

    One way to identify the broken links in your library is to create this set of playlists:
    Lost & Found playlists
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    Or use iTunes Folder Watch and enable its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

  • Finder doesn't show all files

    When I add new photos to iPhoto, they do not appear as a file or item in Finder Documents list. I thought Finder was supposed to show all files and items that you create?

    santra, use EasyFind or Find File instead. BY default, Apple's own Finder/spotlight doesn't search everywhere and doesn't find everything (Mac fanboys will tell you this is a feature and is so intelligent that some people can't understand how smart it is; I prefer to think of it as a defect).
    Easyfind is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707
    Find File is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10906315
    I hope this helps you to find all your stuff.

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not Lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another.
    I recently backuped my photo files from one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy cloner) pointed to some corrupt files on the original drive.
    I have deleted those files and am finding good copies of them  in Time Machine backups.
    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main external and then back it up onto a brand new drive.
    What I am not sure about is how to point lightroom to the backups so it knows to look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all those exclamation marks and question marks go away.
    There are close to 60,000 images in numerous folders all with one 'parent folder.'
    My best guess is from Lightroom Help - Create and Manage Folders -  Locate Missing Folders
    Can I point to the one parent folder and all the subfolders will come back?
    Is this the process to recover files into lightroom and will there be a problem with so many photos?

  • How to select/unselect all checkbox in one column

    Hi Experts,
    I have a report with a column as check box. The query is like:
    select apex_item.checkbox(1, ID) "update", ID, name, job
    from a_table
    So that user can select the rows they want to update.
    Sometimes user wants to select all the rows. It's not easy to select all the rows one by one when there are many rows on the report.
    So how to select/unselect all rows in this case?
    Thanks,
    Daniel
