In Snow Leopard, finder's sidebar used to have search by [downloaded] today, yesterday,past week, all images. I depended on this feature and it seems to be gone from Lion. Has anyone found this?
IN SNOW LEOPARD
IN LION
Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower. Has anyone had similar problems? I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.
As Shootist pointed out, the system uses more power.
However, initially it will reindex the hard drive for spotlight, which will slow things down temporarily.
It also must rebuild caches that eventually will speed things up.
If it has completed indexing the hard drive (no dot pulsing in the spyglass), then there might be something wrong.
Start by booting into the Recovery HD (a partition created with Lion that has Disk Utility and reinstallation options) by holding down cmd-r when you restart. You can let go when the gray screen appears.
When it boots, select Disk Utility and Repair the drive.
If that doesn't speed things up, try re-installing the OS from the same Recovery HD. It won't delete any of your files, but it has helped some people whose Macs ran slow after installing Lion.
Also, how much memory do you have? Lion needs RAM so maxing your Mac out might also help. -
I have an iphone6. I am unsure whether to go from 8.1.3 operating system and switch to ICloud Drive or not? Has anyone done this? Is it awesome? I need to be able to access my resume from phone. I think this will help me achieve this? Am i right? Is there any body out there right now that could help me? I'm thinking about going from 8.1.3 to I guess yosemite? Or is that for Mac computers? I don't understand the language entirely on the help page. Anyone's straight forward and easy stepped advice would be much appreciated. I'm so frustrated and I need a job so badly! Drowning in debt. Any help appreciated!
Thanks,

My new external hard drive appears in Finder, but none of the files stored on it show up in recent documents (today/yesterday/past week).
what format is the external drive? How is it connected?
The drive must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - if it is try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
Note that multiple libraries is not necessary and is generally a bad idea.

Clear Today Yesterday Past Week in Sidebar or switch it off
Hi, I need to switch off the Today - Yestarday - Past week smart folders, in the sidebar. How can I do it? I need more privacy on my mac, since it's used by different people (and don't start immediately to think dirty!).
LucaYou can turn these off using the Finder's preferences (choose Finder -> Preferences). However, note that this will do precisely squat for giving you more privacy against people using your account on your Mac. You need to create separate accounts for the other people using your Mac. (Go to System Preferences -> Accounts.) DO NOT allow them to use your account, especially if it is the administrator account!

The "Livestream" address is Preston Trail Community Church. We can watch this on the I-phone so why not be able to stream to our appletv?
The Apple TV cannot receive live streams such as that.
However if the website or app you are watching it from is enabled then you can stream it to your Apple TV via airplay. If you have the iPhone 4S you could also use mirroring. -
In the Itunes store, for some reason it is not letting me complete a purchase when I try to click "Buy." I am not sure what the problem is, because my software is up to date, and I've always been on the same macbook. I also made sure I was signed into my apple account, and I was. Any suggestions?
Hey there - just a few minutes ago suddently I experienced the same problem.
However, a couple of months ago on December 1, 2012, I purchased/downloaded Prometheus (Movie) no prob.
Anyhow, here's how I resolved the issue: (restarted after each download/update)
Originally running OSX 10.5.8, iTunes 9.2, Safari 4.0.5, Quicktime 7.6.4
Then, in effort to fix, I downloaded/updated from the apple website "iTunes 10.3" - Didn't solve my problem.
So then I downloaded/updated from the apple website "iTunes 10.6.3" - Didn't solve my problem.
So then I downloaded/updated via apple (menu) software update "Security Update 2011-4" - Still nothing.
So then I reinstalled iTunes 10.6.3 - Still didn't solve my problem.
And then finally, when I downloaded/updated via apple (menu) software update "Safari 5.0.6" - Resolved it!!!
So now I'm running OSX 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3, Safari 5.0.6, Quicktime 7.6.4
Hope that helps! -
My problem comes up in iMovie ’11 (v. 9.0.4/build 1634) and has done so from the beginning of my using the software.
I want to determine the length of time that I want a a still to show (in the context of stills and movie clips). However, I cannot reliably save the still’s length of time showing.
That applies to all stills: I doesn’t matter if I change the length of time individually for each still or check the box for »all clips«.
This looks like a veritable bug, doesn’t it? Has anyone found a way to get around it?I assume you are using transitions. This is not a bug - it is how iMovie handles transitions.
There are two settings for transition overlap - full and half. If you are using photos only, you may get the results you want by setting transition overlap to half.
For full details, see iMovie Help here on Transition Overlap.

Has anyone found any way to read books on kin twom?
i know i ve seen someone ask this question but it wasnt really addressed the same way, has anyone found a way to read books on kin twom? whether it be through a google portal as i heard someone say, or any other way to do this, preferably without needing the wifi to use it (obviously i would assume you need the wifi to get it in the first place,but maybe not need to be connected to read?) if there is any way, even if throught an online prtsl, please let me know. also, please forgive me for my word usage, i am not by any means a technical person, thanks!
I recently added an ebook called Planet of the ******, to the Kin Twom . Of course, this being a Kin, I had to get creative. I found freeware called RasterBook to convert a html ebook to .jpg. This allowed me to load the jpegs through Zune. Now, when I go to camera -->albums, I can read the ebook.
The way I figured out to do it:
1. Download the freeware RasterBook
2. Open notepad and type in the following: start RasterBook.exe --width 480 --height 320 --rotate 90 --overlap 20 --format jpeg
3. Save the file as kin.bat in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook
4. Download a .html version of an ebook. I found a free one (Planet of the ******) at Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page)
5.Double click on the kin.bat file. This launches RasterBook
6. Open the folder containing the .html of your ebook. Drag and drop the .html file into the RasterBook window.
7. Click on the button "Render Book" in the RasterBook window.
8. You will see your .jpg files start to generate.
9. Finding the resulting .jpg files is a little tricky. The RasterBook freeware kept throwing the ebook .jpgs in the folder C:\Users\<your username here>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook or C:\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to where the hundreds of jpg files save to.
10. Once you find your.jpg files load them using Zune to your Kin.
11. Then go to camera --> albums and you should be able to find the book.
12. To read each page of the book swipe the screen to the right or the left to advance to the next page in the book. -
Has anyone experience this ...
Has anyone experience the IPOD FROZEN in the middle of the song? I recently bought the Ipod 30GB Video. It functioned fine for the first couple of weeks (last approx 12-15 hours of uncharge played song). Then comes the frozen. I fully charged the Ipod and played for half of an hour or so and suddenly, It froze and I could not do anything with it. I tried to reset several times and the problem still persisted. I also tried to restore to the manufacturing setting but it was not a successful restore. It hang in the middle of process. I took the Ipod to the Apple Store and one of the guy at the Genius Bar looked at it and said "it might caused by your song" ... ***? Anyhow, it turned out that it was the Ipod problem ... so he said. I got the replacement one.
Well, brought the replacement home and I thought it was fine until today ... the Ipod froze AGAINNNN .... grzzzzzz ... WHAT's HAPPENING? This time even worst, I cannot even reset ... It display a small sliver of red color at the battery and even though I plugged it into the computet for an hour or so, it still not being able to charged. Well, I paid another visit to the Apple store. Murphy Law, it's not working at home but it worked at the store (although, one of the Genius Bar guy explain that the Ipod "somehow" got into the critical low battery and the the provided USB cable does not have sufficient power to boost the Ipod to its recovery mode.) In fact, this guy (Genius Bar Guy) had to plug the Ipod into the other connector (not the USB one ... I am not a fan of Apple therefore not knowing the exact term for this connector) from his laptop and waited for 10 minutes of so and voila ... I took it home an charge for a nother few hours or so before I can put all of my music back into the Ipod.
Sorry for the long story but has anyone experience this ... if so, how do you comes into the fix ... I am not convince that the problem will go away and the the "boosting" thing ... or I just come with an unlucky Ipod ....Just experienced same today. Firefox didn't even want to quit without a force quit. Removed Firefox and so far so good with other browsers - Safari and Chrome

Dreamweaver 2014 won't launch in Mavericks... has anyone experienced this problem?
I downloaded the new 2014 version of Dreamweaver today & it won't launch in Mavericks... also dowloaded it to my PC & that works OK. Has anyone had this problem?
Hi Harald,
Looks like this is happening because of some issue during installation of the product.
Can you try the following:
1. Un-install DWCC 2014. Note: Before un-installing, I would suggest you to backup any user preferences files, extensions or site settings.
2. Log out from your Adobe ID login in creative cloud.
3. Log-in back again and then download and install the product.
I am suggesting it since the same process helped one another user. Hence seeing if you are also encountering the same issue.

Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?
I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)
