unless you had them synced with icloud or some other email account, very unlikely

Now signed up for Icloud - bought song through Itunes but cant find folder for this on Imac!!!

Now signed up for Icloud - bought song through Itunes but cant find folder on Imac pc - is this correct - this is my first ever apple pc and not sure about folders etc - very different from Windows 7 which I was using

In the absence of any replies, I'd forgotten that I'd posted here, but I did manage to sort out the problem eventually.
I forget all the steps involved, and possibly some which may be pertinent, but in essence somewhere in the iCloud signup procedure I'd clicked something that told Address Book to upload to the Cloud, and otherwise remain invisible on the Mac. Tinkering with the Address Book preference settings eventually restored the Contacts list to my iPhone.

Hey when ever i download and install Itunes then i open it says error finding folder please re download and I tried a tons of times and it didn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Password Protecting a Folder

Hey Guys!
This is probably a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer on my own. I am trying to set up a folder on a make shift sever from an iMac G5 Power PC running 10.3.9 that someone on an emac can back up files to. I would like to set it up where she will be the only one that will have access to this folder, meaning that someone cannnot go on the sever and access the folder.
Any suggestions?
Thank You!

Use Disk Utility to create a disk image with 128-bit encryption. Store your files inside of it and give only her the password.

Spotlight not finding folder names

I’m not sure when this happened - perhaps when I changed my home folder to a FileVault image. Now Spotlight will not find any folders. I have, no doubt, selected folders in the pref pane. I tried deleting the Spotlight perf file. This did cause me to have to reconfigure the preferences - I selected folders - still didn’t find any! I have reindexed Spotlight by dragging the drive in and out - no change. I ran all the Cocktail cache deletions, etc. - no effect. I give up!
Has anyone heard of this?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/.Spotlight-V100
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open with a subfolder selected. Move the subfolder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there should be an indication that indexing is in progress.
You can't see the folder in the Trash because it's invisible. The next time you empty the Trash, it should be deleted.

In my Macbook Pro finder folder under All Images, there are duplicate files, but one is small and the other is full size. I wanted to clean up the files, but don't know why I have two of everything. Any Ideas?

In my Macbook Pro, the Finder folder has duplicate images in the 'all images' file. One image is small and the other is full size. First question is why do I have two of every image? Why is one small and the other large. Do I need two of everything? If not, which do I delete?
thanks, Jean

Hello fane,
Re: duplicate images in finder.
Nearly all images are JPG with a few GIF and PNG sprinkled in.
I opened the inspector so I do get info when opening each image, but it a slow process.
It seems that one image is around 70k while its twin can be up to 4Mb which is what comes unedited from my camera. Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 identical images in finder, but when I open iPhoto to see what ‘s really in the file, I find only one image, and it’s full sized.
Are all these extra images, even if they are aliases, taking up space on my drive? And should I delete them? The info bar says I have over 10,000 images, which is rather a lot for what I do.
I am unable to add the file size on the view menu as it is grayed out. Don’t know why it’s gray, but having that info on the screen would save a lot of time and fiddling with each image.
I am trying to resize selected pix so I can upload them to e-bay, which requires less than 70k. I have looked at resizing programs but most are for PC platform and not Mac, so I am trying to resize in the finder window under tools. Tedious at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks for your help,

I got this iphone from a guy and everytime i tried to update the applications stored in this phone it keeps asking me the password that the guy used to use, even thou i created a new apple ID of my own and updated the account of icloud and everything in t

I got this iphone from a guy and everytime i tried to update the applications stored in this phone it keeps asking me the password that the guy used to use, even thou i created a new apple ID of my own and updated the account of icloud and everything in this iphone with the new apple ID, it still asks me the password of the account that the guy used to use whenever i tried to update the applications, and i cant find the guy who gave me this iphone...wt should i do???

Apps are permanently tied to the AppleID that downloaded them and cannot be transferred to another. Best thing to do is delete the apps and download those you want or need under your AppleID.

I tryed to turn off find my iphone but it says my device is offline i forgot my iphone passcode so how can i go online?

i broke my iphone screen two months ago, that being said its been dead for awhile i recently recharged it but now i dont remeber my passcode that i put on there. i did the whole deleting the find myiphone thing from icloud but its telling my it will permamnetly delete it once the device goes online well sence i dont know the passcode how am i suppose to go online? i dont know if i should just keep trying random password until its disabled so that way itll give me an option to put in my apple password or will it just be disabled with no options at all? i dont know what i need to do in order to go online sence i dont know the passcode thats the whole reason for me doing the delete the find my iphone. i need help as soon as possible, everything of mines is on there and i dont want to do anything to the phone that will make it earase everything?? please help as soon as possible . im not sure if i have the iOS 7.1 or 7.1.1 i know i have one of those two though

If you don't know the passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode. And with Find My iPhone set on it, you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. This will erase the phone and you will have to restore an existing backup.
If you synced it with iTunes since setting the passcode on it, see if you can try backing it up before restoring it by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up and File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
If iTunes won't allow you to back it up first, you don't have any choice except to force it into recovery mode, restore it, then restore and existing backup. You could probably still import your camera roll to your computer first, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Progmatically save to password protected network folder

I am looking to save a file to a password protected network folder. I tried using the standard Write Text.vi to see if a dialog would pop up, but it did not. There is not an ftp server running on the networked computer, so I dont think that will work.
The IT department directions to the folder say: Go to Start> Run and enter url \\computername\folder\subfolder\... and a dialog will appear to enter username and password.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Kenny

That simply reiterates what the IT department originally told the poster to do, except that you're using the administrative share.

To do this you will need to delve into the Windows API. You can also use .NET to perform impersonation. Most of the examples that are on the internet are based on .NET 1.1 and it's probably easier to simply create yourself a custom class that you can call using a single method rather than trying to put all the .NET code into LabVIEW. An example of using impersonation (though there are lots of them) can be found here.

TS1538 I do not have the Driver folder in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support like it says I should and myApple Iphone appears in Portable Devices. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it.

I do not have the Driver folder in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support like it says I should and my Apple Iphone appears in Portable Devices only, not in Universal devices. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it. My Iphone is still not recognized by Itunes when I plug it in. I can see my photos in the internal storage folder on my Windows 7 system though. So I know my PC sees the device. The Iphoneis an Iphone 4 with IOS 6 installed. It was working fine until I had to reinstall my Windows system. Now Itunes does not see it. I've uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled it (64bit) to no avail. Where is the Driver folder article TS1538 talks about?

Sorry I missed your post. Anyone else with the same issue should find useful resources at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc

I was trying to change my home folder nickname to a different name I then restarted my computer and now all my stuff are gone. What can I do to get them back

I was trying to rename my home folder I then restart my computer and now all my stuff are gone. Can anyone help?

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path, and move the files to your current home folder. Alternatively, open the Accounts or Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock it, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change the path to the home folder.

Password Keeper Find Function no longer works

I just upgraded to a BlackBerry Curve and was very happy when my Password Keeper just showed up, accepted my old password and had my database. However, the find function no longer works. If I type A, is says no passwords found even though I can see a bunch as soon as I open it. So how does one fix and non-functioning password keeper find function. It is painful trying to get to the ones that start with "Z!"
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try a simple reboot on the device and check again.
With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
