In Find window: No indication of where a file is located. How do I find

It used to be that in a "Find" window the selected file or folder would generate a display at the bottom of where the item is located in the drive heirarchy. Since Mavericks was installed that is no longer the case.
If I do a find and select an item, how do I now know where it is located?
TIA

The Finder should still show the path to the files in the pathbar at the bottom of the window, when you select one of the items that have been found. The path will only be shown, when you select one of the items in the list.
Have you the pathbar enabled in the Finder's "View" menu? View > Show Path Bar.

There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.

Did you purchase them on your iPad with the same Apple ID that you are using for iTunes on your iPhone and that iTunes on your Mac is sign into?

Hi! I am new to itunes store. I have put 10 songs in my wish list that I want to purchase but can't seem to find a purchase icon. How do I do this?
One song at a time. Open the Wish List, and click on the price for the song.
(Older versions of iTunes had a "Buy All" button to allow purchasing the whole list at once, but that feature is no longer there.)

This helped, I restored them, but when I go to iTunes they are not there. Is there another step?

Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
What version did you have?
Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

I reset my iphone, and pandora was installed in the same folder I had it on my iphone 4. Problem solved!

Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

Open window is a folder named "Photos".
It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!

"The song ______ could not be used because the original could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Getting this message, only download 10.6.3.... where could they be? how do I find them on my PC?

Trying to find songs? No other changes to computer, just the download of itunes 10.6.3.??
How do I find the originals or get them back??

The default location for iTunes downloads on Windows Vista is under : \Users\username\My Music\ (where username is the name that you've chosen to use on your computer). If you do 'get info' (control-I) on one of the tracks (and tap 'no' on the 'would you like to locate' popup) then you might be able to see where iTunes is expecting to find that track (it should show at the bottom of the Summary tab).
If you can't find your iTunes downloads underneath that folder (and you can't find it via a search in windows explorer) then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then you could try redownloading them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you still have the entries for them on your iTunes library, then even though the files behind them may no longer exist on your computer, iTunes will assume that you still have them and won't let you re-download them, so you need to delete the iTunes entries first before trying re-downloading.

HT2531 What happened to the display of where a file may be found in the finder?

In Spotlight, what happened to the presentation or where a file may be found? We used to have a reference to a finder location, now there is just a mini image of the doc. This document info is one of the things that Windows still does better?

Hold down cmd or cmd+option while hovering over file.

Trouble using Finder window to look at image/movie files

I know I'm doing something wrong...
I'm using the Finder to look at image and movie files
If the files sit in a folder that is a few layers deep, then it's really frustrating to look at
The space for the icons are all small
I have to maxmise just to look at properly
It's super frustrating
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Omar

Hey Omar,
I was able to find a couple of tips that should make your Finder experience better. First off, I'd check out the following article that goes over the different viewing options in Finder:
OS X Lion: Choose options for viewing items in Finder windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3919
If you're having trouble seeing the details of the icon because they're too small, choose View > Show View Options, and then try adjusting the sliders for "icon size." You might also want to try using the Cover Flow view option. With it you can easily see live previews of images, documents and movies, and can thumb through them quickly.
I'd also look over the general Finder article that goes over some tips for usage:
Mac Basics: The Finder

My finder window is not refreshing after a file is deleted

I open up a new finder window so that I can sort through and delete items from the desktop. After I delete a file, the images displayed in the top of the window no longer match the items that are left.

Might be Finder preferences are corrupted ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash
See if that made a difference.

Powershell Test-SPContentDatabase -ShowLocation GUID located, how do i find the culprits in sp2010

Hi All,
i'm sure this is a simple one, but I dont know it, im running the below command while testing sp2010 database in 2013 and get a few errors so have found i need to run the showlocation parameter to find where the issues are
after running the Powershell command to get the GUID: Test-SPContentDatabase -ShowLocation
How do i find which web(s) are causing the problem, what am i supposed to do with the GUID given from the above command?

Hi
Thanks for the reply, but im sure there is a better way, surely, to get the sites that have the features installed in SP2010 that i dont have installed in SP2013
so the cmd im running is: Test-SPContentDatabase -Name Database name -Webapplication
http://name -ShowLocation
This gives me
Message         : Database [Database Name] has reference(s) to a
                  missing feature: Id = [d45a2ae3-c85e-45c9-9408-35feda089a1d].
Remedy          : The feature with Id d45a2ae3-c85e-45c9-9408-35feda089a1d is

                  not installed on the current farm. The missing feature may
                  cause upgrade to fail. Please install any solution which
                  contains the feature and restart upgrade if necessary.
Locations       : {1afdf415-6578-4df5-8441-asd0ebfddada,

                  1afdf415-6578-4df5-8441-asd0ebfddada
So how do i find out what the location above represents please, or what feature i need to install in SP2013?
Thanks
