Search for "All Pictures" option deleted

I accidentally took the "all images" option off of the sidebar in my finder window (under "Search for") and can't seem to get it back, nor can I actually see all my images unless I clicked on that folder. Is there a way to get that back (and how do I view my pictures within the Finder window without having to open iPhoto?

  • What is the Search for:-  All images/All documents/all movies for in Finder

    I am confused as to the purpose of Search for:- All images/documents/movies in Finder. I seem to have documents, pictures and music I have never seen or downloaded, and often photos I have actually downloaded are copied in triplicate sometimes more. I have at times got 10,000 items in my documents in Search for? My worry really is does this all take up memory on my computer and if so why is it happening and how do I stop it?
    I do hope someone can explain the purpose of the Search For?

    Thanks Kappy, I had thought that is what it probably was but just confused by all the items I never searched for or downloaded. Now that I know it doesn't take up any memory I shan't worry about it. When I deleted everything from the search for files all the photos in my iphoto and documents were also removed. (thankfully I always have my stuff backed up on hard drive) I guess one just shouldn't remove them? Is there a safe way to clear it out without loosing the stuff I need to keep?

  • How do I search for all "missing" tracks within the iTunes database?

    I found the dreaded ! of death, and sadly I verified the tacks indeed are not on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to sort on this tag so that I can see what else might be missing on my hard drive but remains in the database (sort of similar to how you can search for all tracks that have missing artwork)? 

    Thanks.  It works perfectly.

  • How to search for all files w Metadata mismatch?

    I Upgraded recently from LR2.6 to 3.3.
    Many of my images have an Exclamation Mark on them, following the upgrade, informing me that there is a Metadata Mismatch...
    When I click on it I get this Dialogue box:
    Firstly I think LR developers are playing with potentially important information with a lack of care and consideration. I looked at the metadata in 'File Info' in Photoshop before clicking anything: the creation date was the date the file was created and much of the camera data was missing. After I clicked Overwrite Settings all the original data was back on the file. I have no idea how this came to pass exactly, but it shows metadata is an easily lost thing.
    If Adobe care about their customers I would think they would make it more clear what was at stake here!
    Secondly I would like to know if there is a way to search for all images with this issue to save me having to go through and do it one by one, possibly thousands of times?

    I am not sure what the meaning of different values in column sidecarStatus and externalXmpIsDirty mean. This is what I've found out by trial and error:
    sideCarStatus = 1 seems to mean "Settings have changed in Catalog compared to XMP"
    sideCarStatus = 7 seems to be OK
    externalXmpIsDirty = 1 seems to mean "Settings have changed in XMP compared to Catalog"
    sideCarStatus = 1 AND externalXmpIsDirty = 1seems to be a Metadata Conflict
    The meaning of sideCarStatus > 1 is unknown to me
    I usually run the query and then look at the single images reported in LR.
    IMHO, this metadata matching is one of the weaker points in LR. I have encountered several conflict situations where I can be 100% sure I have not changed anything on the image outside of LR, and I have "Automatically write Changes to XMP" active. So a conflict should never arise.

  • Search for all user messages doesnot work now ?

    Hello SDNer's,
    I often search my own questions and posts entering the keywords in Search for all user messages. After our forum has been revamped this functionality seems not be working as it used to. When I enter the keywords and Enter it throws me results from Expert Forums instead showing results just from my ID/Username.
    Have anyone noticed this ?
    Please comment Mods.

  • Can iTunes search for all music on my system and rebuild the library?

    Is there any way to make iTunes search for all music on my hard drive and completely rebuild the library from scratch?
    Thanks.

    do you know how to re-locate files to an existing library?
    All of a sudden, about 2/3 of my songs (over 6,000) will not play and a box comes up saying "The song 'x' could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    I went to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and have the correct (fixed) external drive letter selected for the folder location. and the files haven't moved, but iTunes isn't finding them. Restarted the computer making sure the drive was on.
    I'd like to not lose all the ratings I've worked on. Hoping you or someone has a solution!!
    thanks!

  • HT204266 25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her.  I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update.  How can I get her updated?

    25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her.  I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update.  How can I get her updated?

    Try quitting the App Store:
    Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Where does one search for ALL the APPS that are available?

    Where does one search for All the apps that are available ?

    If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
    Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
    Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

  • I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

    I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive.

    You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
    If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

  • When is there going to be a select all/delete all option in email? I need to search for certain emails and delet them from my phone but not my email program (Outlook)

    when will there be a select all/delete all option in Emails? I have a large number of emails that come to my phone which i dont want to delete from my outlook mail account (On my PC). However, i want to be able to search, select all and delete these emails from my phone? I do not use ICloud either as it causes issues with my calendars at work.
    These features should be a standard as there are plenty of other users out there that are trying to do the same thing and as yet there has been no progress? The email on the iphone is one of the biggest downfalls of the phone, blackberry and android handle them much better, but i dont have an option with my phone at work. Please help??

    No one here would have any idea when or if such a feature would be introduced until and unless Apple announces it.
