HT2531 How can I see a file's enclosing folder.

Often I just need to know where a file is, not to open it. If I go to Spotlight, how can I see what its enclosing folder is? I think this used to pop up when hovering over a file name in Spotlight.
Thankyou.

If you are talking about the spotlight search in the upper right of the finder window it still has the tooltip that shows you the full pathname of what you are pointing at in the list.
If you select spotlights show all then the pathname is outlined at the bottom of the spotlight window and you can double click any of the items along that path to open that item.

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) {

How can I upload multiple files or whole folder structures in one go to the Cloud?

How can I upload multiple files or whole folder structures to the Cloud in one go? Uploading lots of files singularly does not help my workflow.
All help is much appreciated.
Paul.

Hi,
Uploading multiple files is browser specific.
Internet explorer won't allow to select and upload multiple files on the cloud.
If you want to upload multiple files then you have to login to Cretaive cloud using Firefox or Chrome web browser, then you can select multiple files in the Browse window to upload.
You can't upload folders directly.
Thanks,

I need to create a Query using same files that are used in report S_ALR_87012103 and some other additional files.
Is there any transaction or functionallity that I can use to see the files used by this report ?

Thx. in advance for your help

Thanks for your message. I just reviewed the files in SE36.
So I guess, next time I will have to check the name of the program in the status bar or the system status screen.
Then, I will have to use SE38 in DEV to see the "Dictionary Structures" in the source code.
However, on this case, I can not find the "KDF" in the source code or "Dictionary Structures".
Other than you technical expertise ... How did you know that this program is using the KDF Logical Database.
On my case, since I am not an Abap programmer, I would have to review all files described in the "Dictionary Structures" which by the way they are a bunch of files.
I prefer the logical view. I liked the way the files are displayed using the SE36 and "KDF"

How can I see all files of my hard drive? it is 1TB and don't have any documents in it yet, and it says that it is only 200GB free

In my apple store, they replaced my hard-drive. Now, it is only 273GB free instead of almost all my 1TB. I can't see what are the files with such a size!

How can I see the files in the Recovery partition folders? Explorer won't let me.

I am preparing to do a clean install of Windows 7 onto a hard drive that shipped with Vista Home and the Recovery partition. I want to reuse the recovery tools along with Windows 7 in the recovery partition. Windows Explorer won't display the contents of the recovery folders. How can I overcome this?
Thanks,
Luke

Force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Sometimes you have to do this more than once to be successful. After restoring, you'll have to restore an existing backup, if you have one.

I can't see .MP3 files in a folder?

Hello, I recently just got a MacBook Pro Retina and I wanted to put all of my music on is (908 songs) but when I added the folder of music to my mac, none of the files show up in the folder. I also tried waiting, thinking maybe it would take a long time to load. Still nothing. How can I fix this?
Long Explanation:
I just took exactly 908 songs from my PC put all of them into a single folder, put onto my external hard drive and then put the entire folder on my mac. I then proceeded to drag the folder into iTunes. I then realized that iTunes had only picked up 321 of the songs. So I deleted everything, and re-added all the songs to my iTunes after converting them all to MP3's (Did this on the PC.) I added all the songs again my empty iTunes. This time 535 of the songs were added. I deleted everything from iTunes AGAIN (by moving to trash, not just from the library), and re-added the folder of MP3s to my mac. This time I figured i could see what was in the folder before I added them to iTunes to see what was maybe going wrong, but when I open the folder nothing is there. It's just empty.

Hello Just So Pro,
It sounds like you are copying your folder correctly and adding it to iTunes, but there seems to be an issue with writing to the hard drive of your Mac from your external drive. I would perform a Safe Boot, then restart and test the issue again so the computer can check the disk and reset some things:
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
