Search in Finder missing info

I was searching in the Finder for ".xmp" and I noticed it was not finding filenames with parentheses ie. TINT (BLUE).XMP
How do I make searches more inclusive in the Finder?

by not using Spotlight, which has become famous for the things it can't find.
If you seriously and reliably want to find any kind of file anywhere, with any kind of character in its name, I would suggest you download EasyFind and use that instead.

My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

(IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
Or do what hannahsage said above.

Can I have iTunes find my missing info for my songs and albums that are already on my computer?

I have missing info on a lot of my songs and the albums I had put them on by CD awhile ago without internet and I cant redo them because I dont have the CDs anymore. Can I have iTunes find the info for them?

Google "TuneUp" it should be the first result. TuneUp is a paid application though, there's another application called MusicBraiz which is free, but this one is a little complicated I think. Hope that helps

Spotlight and Find search criteria is missing

When I try to do a "find" from the finder or "show search criteria" when using spotlight most of the search criteria is missing. Nothing is listed under "other". A minimal amount of options are available is I choose "date" or "kind".
Where is the list of search criteria stored and how can I get it back into the find feature?

Most like a component of the Spotlight.app which resides in /System/FInder/CoreServices/. Where? I don't know. Maybe the simplest thing to do is retrieve it from your Time Machine backup or bootable backup/clone. Barring that, download Pacifist and extract it from your install disk and replace the faulty one. Once, you've done that and solved the problem, reinstall the latest COMBO update.

At search on Finder (+) Plus button is missing

Not allways but some times on Mavericks using search on finder "cmd" + "f" the plus button is missing, I can't add options to my search because the is not there but is the minus button there. It comes and goes and I've no idea how to fix it.
Thanks

I've just encountered this. With a bit of trial and error, I discovered that the plus button doesn't show when you have the "All My Files" view open in Finder. From your screenshot that seems to be the case, at least that's what Google Translate tells me "Todos mis archivos" means.
Presumably this is because the "All My Files" view is a special view which probably has all sorts of filters built in and could interfere with any filters you add to the search.
Opening any other view, such as your hard drive, allows the plus to appear.

LR5 Find missing photos - search nearby won't work consistently

LR5 seems to work inconsistently when locating missing photos and selecting "find nearby photos".
It has succeeded in finding nearby files but now will only locate one file at a time....a very annoying and time consuming exercise!
Any suggestions please?

Hmm, I'm still not sure about your situation. But if the entire folder was missing (before you started finding individual pics), then it's easy to find the whole folder. You can see if the folder is missing by looking in the Folders pane on the left -- it will have a "?" on it:
Right-click on the folder and select Find Missing Folder.

"Open VI Reference" Option "Prompt user to find missing subVIs"

I am using "Open VI Reference" to dynamically load a VI. For the "option" control of the "Open VI Reference" node, I pass "0x10" or "10" in hexadecimal, which supposedly "prompt user to find missing subVIs." Nevertheless, I don't get a prompt message dialog when I intentionally pass an invalid or missing VI path. Instead I just get an Error Code 7. What does this option "Prompt user..." suppose to do?

Make sure you set the properties on the integer input into the “options” control to the “Open VI Reference” to be a Hexadecimal format (right-click on the “options” control input, select Format and Precision…, then select Hexadecimal). Now, if you re-run your VI and wire in a VI with a missing subVI, the Open VI Reference will appear with a dialog that will prompt you to browse to the missing subVI. This is exactly the same message LabVIEW displays when it attempts to open a VI and cannot find its subVIs.
I’ve attached a simple example program to demonstrate. Enter the path to the “number extractor.vi” as the VI to open. You should see a dialog prompt appear asking for the “Search 1D Array – Complete.vi”.
Hope this helps!

Language time-zone missing info

Hi,
This is probably a bug or at best smoe missing info in the language support.
If we set a non English locale the dates (name of day and month) are coming in the pecified language.
However the time zone list ignores the locale and returns a string only in English
for instance:
MIT, West Samoa Time
AST, Alaska Daylight Time
PST, Pacific Daylight Time
PNT, Mountain Standard Time
MST, Mountain Daylight Time
CST, Central Daylight Time
Since those strings are not translated I have sent those strings to Translation centers for translation. They asked me what are the abbreviations so they can be translated. There is nowere to find the info of what MIT stands for , AST stands, PST, MST and CST. I can try to infer it from the names but for this list I have no certitude of being correct.
How many of us translate URL be universal resource locator or uniform resource locator?
Any idea or help?
Thank you,
Adrian

Property or method to find missing fonts...

Hi Everyone,
Is there any direct property or method to find missing fonts in EPS doucments in Illustrator CS4 like we do in InDesign. I have tried this by doing comparison of document fonts and application fonts to get missing fonts but it won't work.
Any help would be appreciatable. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried a search of this forum… Im sure I posted a work around to this… The simple answer is NO not in the Illustrator DOM you can however read the file as text and the stuff you want is in the Illustrator file comments…

Finding missing photos when drive letter has changed

I have over 30,000 missing photos because LR only recognizes drive letters not names. All my drives have a master "Image" directory with folders and subfolders. Going to the LR online directory with name change and right clicking images and finding folder location does not work. LR does not recognize folders or subfolders in the drive with a name change. Usually none of the folder names are high lighted. By going to the "Missing Photographs" in the catalog menu and searching by file name I can find individual files but with over 30k missing files, this approach is not practical. I have an HP computer with Windows 7 and LR 5.7. How do I find the photos?

I think the most straightforward way to sort this out is:
1. Plug in all of your external drives. From the screen shots, it looks like you have at most 5 external drives of interest, 2 that are currently online and 3 that are disconnected. (I'm not counting the one external drive letter that has just one photo on it.) How many external drives do you actually have?
2. If you don't have enough USB ports, order a $12 USB hub from Amazon.
3. Make sure the entire folder hierarchy for each drive is showing in the Folders pane as described here. When you're done, each drive in the Folders pane should have a top-level folder labeled with a drive letter (as with your F: drive in the screenshot above).
4. Expand the entire folder hierarchy on each drive in the Folders pane by clicking the arrows to the left of the folder.
5. For each drive, find one or more folders in its hierarchy that are closest to the top that have a "?" on them. It may be the root folder labeled with the drive letter (e.g. "F:"), or it may be folders below the root folder.   For each such folder with a "?", right-click it and select Find Missing Folder. That folder should be somewhere on one of the drives. Use Windows File Explorer to help find where it is.
6. When you're done with step 5, you should have located all missing folders and told LR where they are currently located. But you may have missed some.   Do Library > Find All Missing Photos.
7. Pick a photo from step 6. Right-click it and do Go To Folder In Library. If the folder in the Folder pane is marked with a "?", right-click it and do Find Missing Folder.   Otherwise, click the "!" on the photo and then click Locate. Use Windows File Explorer to help find the missing photo by filename, if necessary. Repeat until there are no more missing photos.
8. Going forward, try to keep all your external drives connected. To minimize drive-letter confusion in the future, rename the drive letters of the existing external drives to start from the end of the alphabet, changing each drive letter as described here.   When you change a drive letter, you'll need to re-locate its root folder as described in steps 3-5.   (Windows tends to use drive letters from C onward.)

Mail search not finding existing items

The simple Mail Search tool finds many things in the mailboxes, but misses more and more. When a search is being done within a given mailbox or folder, the search expands (sometimes unreliably) to go through all mailboxes/folders, when this was not desired.
Is the indexing not working? How can this be checked?
What are limits of indexing (number of messages, etc.)?
Mail is open for many hours/day, so time should be available.
Entire Mail Folder is now over 1.3 GB, too big to handle?

I had the same problem but rebuilding spotlight's index fixed the problem. I followed the instructions at
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2006/07/21.1.shtml
Or Onyx can be used...

Cannot find Battery Info in System Profiler

Cannot find "Battery Info" in System Profiler (4.0.4).
Originally, I was going to title this post "battery not charging" - which is why I am looking for battery details. Of course, as soon as I started typing the battery clicked up a notch (29% to 30%).
So, I got a confused battery and a confused System Profiler.
A couple of weeks ago I had drained the battery completely and had to even run off the backup battery as I quickly finished what I was doing. I had since fully charged the battery and thought there were no problems.
Then suddenly a couple of days ago, I looked up and it was stuck at 33%. When I tried to switch from "Percentage" to "Time", all I got was a "Calculating...", which it never actually did. I tried unplugging the computer, and it indeed did run off battery power, so it was at least communicating power-wise, if not information-wise. Two days of fiddling around offered no solutions. (Zapped the PRAM, reset PMU). Meanwhile the battery kept on not charging.
Then, I start typing here and suddenly the battery is communicating with the computer. Percentage is ticking up and there is even an estimated "time until full". However, System Profiler still does not see any battery, or in fact even give me anything to click on for power management. It's not under Hardware, Software, Network or Logs. "Extended Report" doesn't find it either. I'm hoping I am just missing it somehow... is "Battery Information" hidden somewhere?
The battery plug has now switched from green to orange and the indicator icon from a battery with a plug, to a battery with a lightning bolt. While I was trying to figure out the problem, I have taken out the battery several times, so I doubt it would be a simple connection issue.
While I would like to believe my computer has magically healed itself, I suspect that something is still amiss. Maybe earlier versions of System Profiler did not have Battery Info?

Hi, RW, and welcome to Apple Discussions. System Profiler prior to the version that came with Tiger doesn't report any battery info. If you're running Panther, that's why you can't find anything about your battery in SP. Jeremy Kezer's XBattery will provide info about your battery in Panther.
Test to see whether your battery charges with a different, known-good AC adapter. That's the cheapest component of the charging system to replace if yours is faulty, and with luck that will prove to be where the problem lies. Other possibilities are a bad battery, DC-In board, or logic board.

Photoshop elements 11and finding missing files

I had a problem with an account on my photoshop so had to open a new account on my imac. I had spent quite a bit of time editing my Alaska pictures and somehow now they wont let me move them to my new downloaded photoshop. it says they are missing files and if I try to find them it will search forever and not find them.. is there another way to get them to my other photoshop or even if i could put them on my external hard drive. that is where the problem started in my old account is when I bought that. I kept getting the beach ball spinning and couldnt get it to stop so apple just suggested I open a new account.

I am sorry: There was a word misprint that could be confusing. Please ignore my previous post. Here is the corrected version:
The Missing Files thing is very difficult. I found a pretty easy way around it.
My newest photos are in a folder (windows folder) called 2013. I have other folders, such as 1990s, 2000-5, etc. The trick is to make a new empty folder called Temp, in the same location as your other folders. For me, this temp folder, and those other folders, are located within a folder called Adobe, which is within another folder called "my pictures". I import all new photos into this temp folder. Then I add them to the catalog by selecting File, and choosing search and finding the temp folder. Then I choose "get media" which seals the deal.
When you choose Get Media, the organizer only displays the new photos you've just added to the catolog. Once you see these new photos, immediately add them to any albums within photoshop. The next thing I do is move the photos to a folder where you really want them, say 2013 for example. This gets them out of the temp folder. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS WITHIN PHOTOSHOP ITSELF--IF YOU MOVE PICTURES THE TRADITIONAL WAY FROM FOLDER TO FOLDER, THIS CONFUSES THE ORGANIZER. On a windows version of photoshop, I highlight these photos within photoshop and choose file/move on the organizer menu and select the folder. This moves all of the photos from the temp folder into the folder that you really want them to go into. You're done.
I've done this hundreds of times with no missing files problem until yesterday! A glitch happened, whereby I chose to delete the photos and selected the option to also delete them from the temp folder. When I tried to back up elements, it warned me that there were missing files. Since they were originally in the temp folder, I knew where to look. The beauty of the temp folder is that if you ever get the "missing files" notification, it will be easy to find them. If you hadn't used a temp folder and instead had thrown the pics in a folder with a thousand other shots, it would be really tough to find them.
Since I knew the temp folder was involved in all this, here's how I found the "missing files": I used the "my folders" area of photoshop, which is directly under the albums and has a yellow icon. I clicked onto the arrow to the left of this folder, found the temp folder, and all of the missing pictures were suddenly seen in my organizer. However, I knew that the temp folder on my computer was empty. This was confusing to me. Why would the organizer think these photos were in the temp folder, when they were actually in my recycle bin? I clicked on all of the photos that were supposedly in the temp folder, even though I knew they weren't there. Clicking highlighted the photos in blue. Then I right clicked and chose "delete from catalog". Problem solved. No more missing files.
All of this stuff took me 8 hours to figure out on my own. I hope I save you some time.

Canned searches in finder.app package, but not in sidebar or preferences

Hello,
I would like to add the canned searches from the Finder App package to te sidebar, but they do not appear in the preferences.
I found no ducumentation on this.
Would you please help me?
Wilfried

There is an alternate way to get basically the same searches into the proper place in the Finder sidebar. The "canned searches" in Finder.app are very similar to "smart folders" that you can create yourself, setting them up to search "This Mac" and using a single "Kind is ...." search criterion. If you save such a "smart folder" it becomes a "saved search", and there is a checkbox for adding its icon to the sidebar. That sidebar icon will appear under "Search For", not under "Places.' Name the search appropriately and save it to the default Saved Searches folder.
For further details see
*Mac OS X 10.6 Help - Creating a Smart Folder*

Anyone come across to calculate missing time interval? Can I use PL/SQL for this like pipeline function?
Any help/directions/references I highly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

One way of finding Missing Intervals:
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
with data as
select to_date('28-Jun-2013 09:00', 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI') start_time, to_date('28-Jun-2013 18:00', 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI') end_time from dual union all
select to_date('28-Jun-2013 20:00', 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI') start_time, to_date('28-Jun-2013 23:00', 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI') end_time from dual
select start_time, end_time,
       case when lead(to_char(start_time, 'HH24'), 1, (select min(to_char(start_time, 'HH24')) from data)) over (order by to_char(start_time, 'HH24')) not between to_char(start_time, 'HH24') and to_char(end_time, 'HH24')
              then to_char(end_time, 'HH24:MI') || ' - ' || lead(to_char(start_time, 'HH24:MI'), 1, (select min(to_char(start_time, 'HH24:MI')) from data)) over (order by to_char(start_time, 'HH24:MI'))
            else
              null
       end period
from data
START_TIME                END_TIME                  PERIOD
28-Jun-2013 09:00:00      28-Jun-2013 18:00:00      18:00 - 20:00
28-Jun-2013 20:00:00      28-Jun-2013 23:00:00      23:00 - 09:00
Time information need not be stored in additional Varchar fields, if you have Date Column. You can use Date fields that store Date and time both.
Another way of approaching this problem is with Connect By Clause or Model Clause. Use the search functionality to find solutions using those methods too. However, in my opinion, this method is the quickest of all.
