HT2531 How can Spotlight find a file in the Library (in an app's plugin folder)?
I'm writing a plugin for SketchUp that lives in SketchUp's plugins folder in the system Library. Even when I put an alias of the plugins folder out on the desktop, Spotlight can't seem to find it (my plugin file). I've learned the trick of using the option key to reveal the Library folder in the Go menu, but why does the file remain 'hidden' from Spotlight after I've drug an alias of its folder out to the desktop?
I also tried using Terminal to patch Hidden to NoHidden without reliable results. Yuck.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
John Trotter
To view system and hidden files, use the Finder (cmd-F) to find.
From the criteria popup menu, select Other...
From that list that pops up, find System Files and Visibility; check both so they stay in the menu.
When searching for system files or hidden files, use those criteria.

How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

How do u find itunes files on the computer
how do u find itune files on the computer mine wont load right
They are there as iTunes can't find the files. I get what you want to say. Try to remember if you had a hard drive or USB Stick containg Music? As removing it would cause iTunes to look for it. On a PC the iTunes apps and stuff are in Music>iTunes>iTunes Media

How can I remove a file on server w/ my JSP app running on Tomcat 7 ?
First of all, I'm posting here because I found it the closest to java web development in the forums listing.
How can I remove a file on the server side with my JSP app running on Tomcat 7 ? I did it in a JSE app by changing permissions, but how can I do it for a simple JSP app ?
My code is
public static void excluirArquivos(String nomeArquivoExcluido) {
File arquivoExcluido = new File (nomeArquivoExcluido);
arquivoExcluido.setWritable(true, true);
SecurityManager sm = new SecurityManager();
try {
sm.checkDelete(arquivoExcluido.getAbsolutePath());
System.gc();
if (arquivoExcluido.delete()) System.out.println("File '" + nomeArquivoExcluido + "' successfully removed.");
else System.out.println("File '" + nomeArquivoExcluido + "' wasn't removed somehow.");
} catch (SecurityException se) {
System.out.println("File '" + nomeArquivoExcluido + "' can't be excluded. There is no permissions.");
}And it always falls on the catch statement.899238 wrote:

2. make sure the file is in fact not locked (for example, opened by another process)
3. use File.delete()
There is no guarantee that you can delete a file, you can only make an attempt. There can be any number of reasons, most if not all of them not related to code, that the deletion of a file does not work. -

HT201359 how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?
how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?
If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases - the most recent purchase is above the list. I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions (I don't have any so I can't check).
If you can't find the charges and you haven't added or changed your card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -

You can't. Place it in lost mode and it will be implemented if and when the lost device is recharged by someone and connects to the internet.

After copying a movie to the harddisk of my MacBook I wanted to also copy it to my iPad, but for this you first have to copy it to the library in iTunes, but this doesn't seem to be working. So how can I get this movie to the library ? And to the iPad ?
How is it not working? And how are you doing it? Drag the movie onto the iTunes icon on the Dock... what happens?

ICC profiles
Formerly ICC profiles where placed in the Home map: library/colorcync/profiles. But the home map doesKees, the color profiles are still stored in your user library in
~/ColorSync/Profiles/
I can't find them back in the /library/colorSync/Profiles.
Are you looking in the System Library folder /Library/colorSync/Profiles at the top level of your system drive?
As you probably know, your User Library is hidden since Mac OS X Lion.
You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu in the main menu bar:
Finder > Go
Then hold down to options-key ⌥, until Library appears in the drop-down menu. Select it and open the Library.
