Panther Find may not Find all FMP files by content

Today, on a lark, I did a content search on a freshly reindexed folder using Panther's Find and also using EasyFind on the same folder. EasyFind found 13 FileMaker Pro files that contained the search term whereas Panther's Find identified only 1. I confirmed that at least some of the EasyFind found files did contain the search term.
Is there some reason that my FileMaker Pro files are not being indexed? Any way around?
Made me a believer of EasyFind!

Wow! Never been called that before. An honor. Thanks.

    its very important files!

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

  • General searches do not find all applicable files

  • Find all music files and move to one folder for all of family to access, find all music files and move to one folder for all of family to access

    I seem to have music files in various places on my laptop, on my husbands computer and our main imac.  What we want to do is put all music on imac so when each of us logs on we have the same files availabe in itunes, but we logon seperately so we can have different playlists and checked music. So here is what I want to do:
    Find all music files on each computer seperately and put everything in one folder one each computer, so three folders total to start...
    Move my husbands itunes library and my itunes library from each of our laptops to our main imac, making one huge itunes folder
    I want to store our music on an external hard drive, which I have, so I have a full library for backup purposes.
    I want all future music downloaded on any of our laptops to transfer to the main imac computer, again to keep one main library
    I want all video, apps, books, etc on each laptop to be available in one file on my main imac also so we can all use them
    So mainly I want to organize, organize, organize and put everything in one spot so things don't get all messed up and some items are only accessible to me some times and not my husband or vice versa.  We want to share everything we can so we don't have to pay twice. I have read many instuctions, but nothing seems to be helping me and was hoping someone could...
    Thanks, l

    I am totally running into the same issue as well. On top of that, when syncing to my iPhone, it took some of the tracks from my iphone and recopied them to the iTunes library, as new files, so now I have a ton of duplicates, and tons of tracks that can't find the iTunes folder, so they have the little "!" next to them.
    It would be really nice to have someone answer this question. I didn't think, moving my iTunes library to a bigger external hard drive would have caused all this madness

  • Apple script to find all duplicate files

    Is it possible to write an applescript to find all duplicate file names on my hard drive? My hd is almost full, and if I can delete duplicate files, it'll save me from having to buy another external drive.
    Thanks,
    George

    Why would you have found 20GB of duplicate images?  iPhoto has built-in duplicate detection, it can remove any duplicates or prevent them from being imported altogether.  Did you disable this in iPhoto for some reason?  Or were you still using folders and subfolders to store your photos?
    Just because two pictures have the exact same filename does NOT mean they are identical.  If this application you used simply compared their filenames, it's possible you actually lost all those photos and not just some duplicates.  ;(  Because many cameras reuse filenames after a certain point! 

  • FileSelectPopup in LW/CVI not listing all directories/files in linux.

    This is concerning a port of Windows based software to Linux.  The FileSelectPopup dialog does not list all the files and folders in the current directory.  For example, if I look in /home/pshrewsberry I can see everything but when look in /home I cannot see pshrewsberry!  Another example: If I am in a directory "test" which contains directories A,B,C and D only B and D are listed. The same happens with files as well: In the FileDialogTest directory that I have attached to this post when I browse this directory using FileSelectPopup I can't see the cvibuild.FileDialogTest directory (created after building) nor can I see the binary "FileDialogTest".
    This problem does not happen in all directories that I browse through either.  I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason to it.  File permissions on all files in FileDialogTest (for example) are the same and UID and GID are same as well but the FileDialogTest binary and the cvibuild.FileDialogTest directory are not listed.  If I run as root I get the same results.
    I have tested this in Linux with LW/CVI8 and the LW/CVI 2010 beta and I get the same erroneous results with both.
    Could this be a bug in LW/CVI for linux?
    Thanks

    I'm not sure how to track a corrective action request.
    What is the timeframe for this to make it into a beta or a distro.  I just went throught this before concerning another problem that I found.  We ultimately received an updated shared object file (*.so) to fix the issue before the ultimate release of fix in beta.  That resolution is preferable for this issue as opposed to waiting for the next official update.

  • SMB share not showing all available files

    Hi,
    At work I have to connect to several SMB shares. Most are fine, however 1 of them does not show all the files that are on that share. I know I'm using the right domain, username and password. I've checked the console and can see this message repeated when I connect.
    mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
    mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy

    I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and have no idea of how to proceed. My IT department do not support our Mac's so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks

    excellent reply. Thanks for the details.
    Oh, one more thing-
    this 30-item limit is just in this same troublesome share.
    Before the day gets away from you, ask the network admin to check permissions on this share. Perhaps the 30 files you see are the only ones that you have explicit rights to view.
    they may need to ease up on restrictive permissions on this folder/drive.
    (Images over a network can be funky, since Mac wants to display a little thumbnail of all those picture files...if you're viewing 'as icons', what happens if you change to 'by list'?...thinking out loud there.)

    In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

  • Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

    Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

    First, AVCHD isn't just "one" clip, it splits the video & audio into several files each per clip, typically with randomly generated names. The only way they "play" correctly is if the software doing so is able to read from the data file ...in a different folder ... the information that X clip is actually A, B, D, #@, and 456 video clips and TR, #r54, and ert$%4 audio clips. The next "clip" is ... and on and on. So both rapid access to the video files AND that database file are necessary to play the files back, or do anything else with them.
    VLC is a fairly decent but simple playback tool. It's nowhere near as complicated nor demanding in its "relationship" with those clips as an NLE like PrPro, which will be trying to do more reading & writing.
    Further, many of the preferences in PrPro are natively set so that it writes project, cache, preview, & database files next to the footage. So ... if it doesn't have both a fast enough connection with the data AND space for putting all of it's own stuff there, it tells you it can't work the file.
    Therefore ... the need to have the complete data from the card in the exact same folder structure it was in ON the card copied to a "local" hard drive.

  • Finder does not show all the files in a folder.

    I have created a folder in Photos in which I put all the photos I want to use for social media. If I access the folder through Facebook, all the photos are there, but if I go to the folder through Finder, none of the photos I have added in the last two to three weeks are to be found.
    The only way I can find them in Finder is to go through All My Files/ images and then scroll through hundreds of images. This is time-consuming and very frustrating.
    I have tried relaunching Finder several times but it has made no difference. Any photos from the past 2-3 weeks can not be seen in the folder, even though they are clearly there when I open the folder from Facebook.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply. I have only had my new Macbook for a few weeks and do not have DropBox or GoogleDrive (or anything else) on it. It is a very weird problem.

  • My finder is not showing all my files

    i recently purchased my macbook pro right before christmas and have been downloading alot of stuff on to it. When i open finder it only shows 4 files though. even when i search nothing comes up. it acts like the files arnt there at all and this is becomming a prolem. this is my first time using apple so it could be a stupid mistake but all help is appreciated!   thanks!

    Alright that's much better! Right, now what you are using is All My Files which in my opinion is the most ridiculous thing Apple has done in OS X for a while. It is very confusing and I dont use it. What you should do is go to Finder Menu > Preferences and uncheck All My Files in the Sidebar tab. Then open a new Finder window and press Shift-Command-H. This will take you to your home folder which will allow you to go through your folders etc. Try also pressing Command-3 as I find this is the easiest way to get around Finder.
    Minecraft stores it's files in the Library folder in your home folder which is hidden by default to prevent accidental changes. You temporarily view it by going to Finder and clicking the "Go" menu, then hold shift to see Library appear. Click that. Then navigate to the Application Suport folder then to the minecraft folder. This is where all the Minecraft stuff is. If you need any more help please reply!
    Hope this helps,

  • We just received our new mac and took it to the store to have the old files from our last computer transferred over.  Now we can't find all our files.  There was more then one user on the old machine.  How can we find the files from the other users?

    We need to find where the files for the other user on the computer are now located.  There were two other users on the old machine, which was taken into the store and ALL files were suppose to be transferred over to this computer. HELP!

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • Finder-All My Files- Previous '_' days.. how Do I erase the usage history? without deleting the actual file?

    How do you delete the Finder history in All My Files?
    I have 35,000 plus in the Previous 30 days category
    I'd like to clear all these out without 'trashing' them
    I HAVE gone to Go, Recent Folders and Clear AND the Apple icon
    Recent items and Clear, and I still have every thumbnail of every photo
    ever opened in my All My Files history..... (thousands)

    I also had the same issue, but I just discovered that you can set the finder to show, for example, 'Desktop' content by default. There are a few options on the dropdown list you will find there, but I figure you may want to go with the folder that shows fewer or no items at all (since you hate to see that endless list of files). Wanna try? Follow the following path:
    Finder > Preferences > General > "New Finder windows show:"
    Then choose the folder of your preference; close Finder to refresh; reopen Finder and the long list will be gone. For good! Notice though that, in doing this, you won't be deleting any files from Finder but rather putting them out of sight when you run Finder. So, in case you really need to pull up a file based on history, they will be just a click away on the top of the Finder's FAVORITES menu. It's working for me, and I hope it will work for you, too.

  • Finder All My Files reorg or remove

    In Lion Finder opens with All My Files.  Is there a way to tunrn off or change this section so it does not show in both the side bar and in the right column, and so Finder does not open to this section?   I tried to do this in Finder Preferences but that just makes "All My Files" to not be listed in the Side Bar.  All the files still appear in the right column.  The reason I find this feature not helpful is that you must scroll down through thousands of image files to get to PDF Documents (another thousand or so), then Movies, Presentations, Developer, Spreadsheets, and finally Documents of all types (doc, docx, xml, txt, etc.
    A list of most recently used files would be more useful, but that seems to have disappeared.

    are you trying to stop 'All My Files' loading in the right hand column
    if so go to preferences from finder, generel tab, and change the 'new finder window show' drop down to something else
    also check out the drop downs at the top of the finder window, you can sort this by recently used etc, so it gives you in a list of files today, yesterday
