How to view and or delete smart folder in finder sidebar

Sounds easy, but I am having a problem. I recently had my hard drive replaced at the genius bar. I have a smart File on the finder side bar that I can not open or delete. When I click on the file I get the message "the volume for (name of file) cannot be found. I tried using both "spotlight" & "the finder go to" locate this smart folder to no avail. I cannot remember when I created this file but I had labeled it appleworks 6 manual.. I don't ever remember using this smart file, I may have just created it without ever putting anything in it. So how do I open it or just plain delete it. I can remove it from the side board but it just comes back. I also went to /volumes which took me to the hard drive, but when I looked at all the files I couldn't find a smart file with this label. Any suggestion? Thanks Paula

I made another smart folder. I wanted to see if I could get the options with the control key. My test folder worked fine and I was able to get the options. I could delete the test folder without any problems. If it is that I have an Appleworks manual stored in an image file, then how could I find the image file? And if I did find it, what would I do to it, so I could delete this smart folder that I set up? I did a spotlight search for image file, but I couldn't find anything. I also searched appleworks manual and I did find a "getting started with appleworks 6 document" with an path of '/application/appleworks (U.S. English) Applework 6 documentation ... when I click on it it opens in preview.. but that manual is stored in my appleworks in applications, so I don't think it is related to the smart folder in the finder sidebar. If I did manage to close or delete the image file that was related to this folder, does that mean I'm just stick with this smart folder that I can't delete on my finder sidebar?

How do I finish this Create Smart Folder script?

I've gotten most of the way on a homemade file tagging system. My Automator Service gets files, asks what to tag them, applies the tags to the Spotlight Comments, and then asks if you want to make a Smart Folder that finds one of your new tags.
If you do, it runs a script. The script asks what tags you would like to populate the Smart Folder, initiates a new smart folder based by appending the tags to "comment:" in the Spotlight search. But that's where I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to automate clicking the darn "Save" button to create the Smart Folder.
And feel free to co-opt my tagging strategy, it is working famously for a team of 5 in shared Dropbox folders.
Here's my Applescript. See the solitary comment in my code below for where I think I need help.
====================
display dialog "Which tags should be queried to populate the Tag Folder?" default answer "separate tags by spaces" buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button 2
if (button returned of result) is "Continue" then
set the clipboard to "comment:" & text returned of the result
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
keystroke "n" using {command down, option down}
keystroke "v" using command down
end tell
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "What shall we name the Tag Folder?" default answer "" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
if (button returned of result) is "OK" then
set the clipboard to text returned of the result
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
# How do I tell Finder to click that Save button?
delay 0.5
keystroke "v" using command down
delay 0.5
key code 36
end tell
end if
end tell
end if

How to view and edit local contacts

in your contacts settings, turn OFF all contact accounts (SIM, BBM ETC) then afterwards you should be able to just see your local contacts.

How do you find out how many views and downloads a podcast has had?

How do you find out how many views and downloads a podcast has had?

Your question may be better placed in the "Producing Podcasts" forum instead of here in iTunes for Windows.
I assume though (I don't produce Podcasts), that the host server (where the Podcast is downloaded from) has the option of providing that information to the Podcast's producers.
Two points though;
That information is likely to only be available to the producers of that Podcast, not to listeners (or competitors)
It's almost certainly an add-on service, that needs to be paid for, in addition to the hosting service.
If it's your Podcast, check with the host service that you use.

How to view and manage hidden files in folders.

Hi all, my question is: How to view and manage hidden files in folders?. I see hidden files in other computer but no in my Mac.
Some of you can help me?
Thanks..

Most hidden files are hidden for a reason. Tampering with them can seriously affect the stability of the system.
The software Tinkertool can

Question: How to edit and/or delete photos uploaded to web gallery?

My Dad uploaded some photos to my web gallery without renaming the photos. Is there any way I can go in and edit and/or delete these photos? Sorry if it's a dumb question... I'm new to iLife '08 (really new to iLife in general)... and for the life of me can't figure out how to edit and/or delete these photos (without deleting the whole library).
Thanks for any help!
Ciao ~ Louie

Guess I just answered my own question.
For anybody else that may be wondering...
From within iPhoto there is a "WEB GALLERY" tab in the left side menu. There you will see the name of your web gallery with a little icon that looks like an antenna. If you click on that icon... it will sync your web gallery photos that have been uploaded by other users into iPhoto. You can then edit and/or delete the photos within iPhoto and the edits will automatically change on the published web gallery (may depend on sync preferences... mine changed automatically).

How to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments

how to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi,
In SharePoint Designer 2010, we could not save the workflow as a template directly except the reusable workflow.
However, in SharePoint Designer 2013, we can just save all the types workflow as a template, then you can import the workflow into the new environment.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/workflows_for_product_catalogs/archive/2012/11/02/deploying-a-workflow-on-a-different-server.aspx
In SharePoint Designer 2013, every time we publish the workflow, we would get a newer version workflow, and the old workflow version would be overwritten.
So, when you deploy the workflow in the environment, the workflow would the newer version.
Thanks,
Jason

Smart Folder in Finder displays incorrect list when using "File label" option.

Hello.
I created a Smart Folder in Finder, to display all files that have any color (label).
But have a problem just with one file, and although it has no Label, it keeps displaying that file.
Just to let you know:
1) File is not in Trash or hidden.
2) Checked several times the "information" of the file. Assign any color, then removed it.
3) File is synched with Dropbox v2.0.5
4) File is a Microsoft Excel and been working with it for a while with Office for Mac.
OS X 10.8.3

I'm having this problem, too. It with even show files with other color tags when filtering by another color. I tried changing the file color then changing it back to blank and it disappears temporarily, but if you view another folder and then come back the file pops back.

Wanted to put a file via a drag and drop into applications on my finder sidebar. it missed and landed in the sidebar itself. i can not remove it. i can not even highlight it. how can i remove it from the sidebar.

Try holding down the Command key and dragging the file well off the sidebar.
Hope this helps.

I have deleted icons from my finder sidebar

I have deleted items from my finder sidebar and I have no idea how to get them back. Someone told me that I have to go to "finder" and then "preferences" and change something. Only I cannot find either "finder" or "preferences" when I open my finder window.

In Snow Leopard at least, you can do this by in the Finder going to the Finder menu, selecting Preferences, then clicking on the Sidebar icon at the top, and then ticking (re-enabling) the option to show the Search for Today entry.
