Show in Mailbox missing from Smart Folders?

If I create a search, either in Mail.app or via Spotlight, I get the "Show in Mailbox" hyperlink in the message viewer.
If I then save this search as a Smart Folder and then view the same messages from within the Smart Folder, I no longer get the "Show in Mailbox" hyperlink.
Irritating, as it would be very useful for viewing, say, flagged messages from a mailing list in context.
Mail.app 3.5
Bug, feature, I'm missing something obvious?
Best wishes,
Christopher

Hi Christopher,
Did you find out how to enable the "Show in Mailbox" hyperlink in the message viewer from within the Smart Folder? I also would find this feature really useful.
Mail version is 3.5 (930.3).
Thanks!

Tv shows tab is missing from downloads on my iPad

The Tv shows tab is missing from downloads on my iPad, how can I download previous purchases from my Mac without syncing?

It's also missing on my Mac in the purchased category under the new tab in the iTunes store......all I seem to be able to acces is my previous music,apps and book purchases - is there anyway to get movies and tv shows this way?

Spotlight Comment Missing, But Smart Folders Still Work

I have entered a lot of spotlight comments on files. On about several 100 off them, Apple Command i does not show any spotlight comments. Its not likely that I erased or failed to "save" several 100, say about 600 out of 900 files. I know for a fact that I entered spotlight comments on nearly all of my photo files. For some reason, the smart folders that look for spotlight comments still return the files.
I shut down and rebooted. Still no change. For some reason, I cannot find the way to edit the search criteria in smart folders.
Any ideas?

Well, this is proving to be a tough case. I rebooted with Option, Command P and R, and then rebooted in safe mode and ran disk utility, both verify permissions and check volume on both the upper level drive (the one that has a technical name) and the named volume (the one that has a user-assigned name). I hate to say this, but nothing has changed. <darn>.
I am kind of thinking about paying Apple to furnish and install an upgrade to my OS from 10.4 to 10.6 but am reluctant because of persistent reports that the newer OS has driver problems with Epson photo printers, and other issues with Adobe LightRoom which is a critical app for me.
I did search the forum to see if anybody else has the same kind of problem but did not find anything. It generous of you to offer your expertise, so I hate to keep coming back.
Anyway, is there another approach that I could look into?
Thanks!

Can I add/show a size column for smart folders?

I've created a set of smart folders to filter the files on my system by size (e.g. <10megs, 10-499megs, 500-999megs and >1Gig.
What I'd like to do is sort the files by size, so having the folder show a size column would be great... however it doesn't seem to be possible (or the how is not publicized). It just shows name, kind and last opened. If I change the view to ICON, I can get the size for some files, but others, like movies or music, show their duration, not size.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Gary

If you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug or ER ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Raw file settings missing from smart objects in tiff files after upgrade to CS6

Yesterday I was using Photoshop CS5 and RAW 6.4 (?) in a Windows environment.
When editing photographs, I generally open the photo in Camera Raw, make development changes (ie exposure, contrast, etc) and then open the developed image as Smart Object in Photoshop. I then clone, add layers, masks, etc. and then save the final image as a tiff.
Yesterday, I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and RAW 7.0. Now, when I open my tiff files and Smart Objects in the RAW editor, my exposure, contrast, and black settings are missing (reset to zero). My graduated filter settings are also missing.
It seems to me that the embedded sidecar data in the tiff / Smart Object is not being read correctly.
How can I update my old tiff / Smart Objects? Re-developing thousands of photos is impractical.
NOTE: As a side note, I opened a RAW file with xmp data (not stored as a tiff/Smart Object) and had no problems.
Many thanks.

You need to set the ACR engine to the 2010 version in the prefs.

Old TV Show Purchases Are Missing From I Tunes Store

I had bought the 3rd season of The Office on iTunes a while back. They have been since deleted from my iPod, and I have a new computer. I have accessed the iTunes account and the iTunes store even downloaded the last episode that I hadn't downloaded before. However, I cannot find the office episodes so I can re-download them, the search feature comes up with nothing. I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what I can do to get those episodes I bought.

Store policy states that downloads can only be done once. It's the USER'S RESPONSIBILITY to backup important files, so if you have deleted them off your system & your iPod without backing up, I'm afraid you're out of luck. You will probably have to re-purchase the missing episodes.

Random songs are missing from iTunes folders from CD's I converted.

The dreaded exclamation point has shown up on a number of random songs that were converted from my music CD's and are completely gone from my hard drive, including the iTunes folder. The titles and descriptions are there, just not the music. Even stranger, after I've reloaded the affected files back into iTunes, the same songs keep disappearing over time. It's maddening, any idea what's going on?

It has always been very basic to alway maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?

Show Fonts Button Missing From Viewer

I use iMovie almost exclusively to make slideshows. I like to use iMovie because it gives me greater control over titling, Ken Burns effects, transitions and music. I never used iMovie '08 because it didn't give me those abilities as had '06.
I'm just starting to use iMovie '09 and have run into a problem. In a project that currently has two chapters, both of which have their own title and contain several photos, the Show Fonts button appears in the browser viewer only in the first chapter.
I have closed iMovie and restarted the computer, but that doesn't get the Show Fonts button back in the second (and I assume subsequent) chapters. This will be a serious problem for me if I cannot find a way to manage fonts in all chapters.
Any help will be most appreciated.

you can't change the fonts in all of the titles, just some of them.

ITunes TV Show Store has vanished from AppleTV???

Hi,
The iTunes TV Show Store is missing from my AppleTV - bought just before the release of the current model.
By this I mean the list that appears under TV Shows on the main menu - Favorites, Top Shows, Networks and Search.
Only "My TV Shows" appears with the episodes that I have sync from my Mac.
There is the usual Cover Flow on the top of the screen for the most popular TV series, and from there I can access a very limited "Other Customers Also Bought".
I can use the Add To Favorites but the Favorites section still does not appear in the list on the main menu.
The iTunes Music and the Movie Store still appear and work correctly with all their functions.
I did have to restore the AppleTV to factory settings last week, but it was working fine after that.
The TV Show list just disappeared at some point on Saturday evening (I think).
I've tried other iTunes Stores that sell TV Shows like France and the UK, but I'm getting the exact same problem.
I was going to try another factory restore, but I thought I should see if this is a problem others are having (google shows nothing) - especially since the list just vanished while the device was in standby.
Cheers.

Thanks Winston.
I'll give it a week or two and see how it goes.
No big deal buy on the iMac and then syncing to AppleTV.
But I do like to browse from the couch

Mail and Smart Folders losing column show and hide settings - a fix?

Lately I switched my mail to be hosted by google and so in order for my in and out boxes to contain my current and older messages, I have each set as Smart Folders. It's this difference that I think might be making this bug worse.
Previous to this change I'd noticed Mail forgets which columns I have shown and what order they're in between quitting and relaunching.. but now with the smart folders, the column settings will be lost when I'm merely not paying attention to Mail (when it's hidden or in the background).
This is particularly irritating since I always use Mail with two view windows, one showing my inbox and the other showing my sent messages. What seems to be happening most is that if I have my inbox showing From and To, that setting will bleed over to the sent window.. showing me that all my sent messages are, of course, From me. I hide that column and later on it comes back by itself. Either that, or I hide the From column in Sent and later on I lose the From column in the Inbox.

Hobyx,
Wow this thread really is a little stale. Sorry about that. What it sounds like to me is the preferences file is going bad, you could try removing com.apple.mail.plist. Found in Macintosh HD -> Users -> YOUR USERS -> Library -> Preferences. Please note that you will have to add your Gmail account back in. But any emails/smart folders on your Mac wont be removed by deleting that plist.
Also On the Gmail side you will get significant better results if you select the corresponding folder in your gmail account 'Found in the sidebar' and select Mailbox -> Use this Mailbox for -> and select what your using for. Whilst using the imap setup.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Smart Folders show icons only in Open Dialog pane

Hi,
I have created a couple of Smart Folders and put them in the side bar. When i select the Smart Folder, it shows the files and their preview icons. When i access the same Smart Folder in an Open Dialog pane from Keynote or another application, it shows regular file icons only, not the preview icons.
Is this how it is supposed to work?

While I'm not quite sure what you mean, it sounds to me like you had the Open dialog set for Column view, and at some point changed it to List view. Take a look at the toolbar at the top of the Open dialog window, you should see the back/forward buttons, then a group of three icons representing icon, list and column view. Both icon view and column view will show a preview icon of the selected file. Personally, I like icon view, since you see all the files that fit in the window with custom thumbs, and can pick what you want quickly. If you change the setting, in say Safari, to list view (which makes more sense in Safari), then the Open dialog for, say, TextEdit gets changed too. Just change it back by clicking the little icon in the toolbar at the top of the Open window.

Folders missing from Bookmarks after update to Firefox 9

First, system info:
I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8
I was using Firefox 3 until yesterday when I updated to 9. Had no apparent problems with bookmarks after the update but I had not closed the session; it was only after starting up this morning that all my bookmark folders are missing from the Bookmarks Menu.
I've been through all the "lost bookmarks" sections of Firefox - no answers there to my specific problem.
Most of them focus on bookmarks being completely missing - but in my case it's only the Folders that are missing.
Here are at least some of the pages I've looked at and been through all the suggestions that were relevant:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks#Bookmarks_missing_after_restarting
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues
There was a momentary power-down yesterday, but the folders were still there when the power came back on, so that's not it.
There was one anomaly with the way my bookmarks WERE. That is, when I selected Bookmarks from the top navigation bar, go down the drop-down past Bookmarks Toolbar, instead of all my folders being displayed there, I'd have to go to Bookmarks Menu and then to a side panel of the Menu which showed a
folder saying All Bookmarks and from there I'd have to go to another side panel that opened off that to access the list of all my folders and run down to select one. This strange functionality came after some previous update, never could fix that and got no help with it. So I just put up with having more mouse work to get to my sites.
This is a serious problem for me - I am in training on SEO, internet marketing, Wordpress, etc plus running another business. EVERYTHING I rely upon for my work was meticulously organized into those folders, which now
seem to be gone.
Are there any seriously technical people in Firefox/Mozilla who can go deeper than the stuff suggested on their websites?

You can make a backup copy of all JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder to be sure not to lose any of them. There should be 10 in Firefox 9 versions.
On (newer) Mac OS X versions with the Time Machine there is the possibility to restore an older copy of the places.sqlite file. I don't know if that is possible on your computer.

"show in itunes store" command missing from video library

updated to itunes 11.1, and ios7.
This isn't a pro or con diatribe, just a list of the minorish bugs that i have noticed:
First (probable?) bug:
With the latest update, the (control click) "show in itunes store" command is missing from all video layouts (unwatched, shows, genres) except "list".
I assume this is just a temporary bug, as it limits easy access to purchasable store content.
This is especially important since "check for available downloads", while still around, has been, as far as i can tell, completely nonfunctional for months.
I now have all my email notifications for passes turned on, and just manually click on the emails to download new content.
However, especially for shows with extra content, sometimes the email doesn't download the actual show, just the extra content.
for this reason, and for non pass shows, and just for general shopping and impulse buys, I liked to use the "show in itunes store" to easily check shows that i am currently interested in.
except that now it is gone.
Another (probable) bug:
I have a lot of purchased content, so i have the cloud turned off to control the flow of menu information. i don't need to see everything i have purchased all the time, only the newest shows that i actually have loaded onto the ipad. I still just load in the shows i want to watch from my main computer after i have downloaded them from apple to the hard drive, which i guess is now a bit old fashioned. ios7 doesn't seem to like this very much, as it initially displays the cloud content when opening the "video" app, before blanking and replacing it with the edited down version. But the real bug is this:
Now when i delete a video on the ipad, it crashes the "video" app.
And, instead of recognizing the delete when i sync to the computer, it ignores it and reloads the video onto the ipad.
......And finally:
There is still a tendency for the ipad and itunes to throw up the "sign in" pop up, often multiple times in a row, anywhere and for no reason, even when i am already signed in. Sometimes i can just hit "cancel" and it disappears, other times it forces me to retype my password. It's gotten a lot better and less frequent than when it first started earlier this year, but it's still around.
Having said this, I'm still, of course, a huge fan of the change earlier this year that keeps track of purchases and allows me redownload, instead of the old "lose it and its gone, tough luck" policy.

Ha. Maybe it's just me then. When i control click on a show, i'm getting:
In Library/TV Shows: Unwatched, Shows, and Genres:
play "[show]"
mark as watched
mark as unwatched
[depending on blue dot]
get info
rating
show description
show in finder
reset plays
show in playlist
copy
as opposed to, in List (and everywhere else):
play "[show]"
mark as watched
mark as unwatched
[depending on blue dot]
get info
rating
show description
show in finder
show in itunes store
get album artwork
reset plays
consolidate files
new playlist from selection
add to playlist
show in playlist
copy
delete
uncheck selection
apply sort field
I have my sidebar turned on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference if it is showing or not.
I looked around in settings, view, and window for a way to modify the control click menu, but couldn't find anything.
It's a very minor issue.
If your menu is working, maybe I just need to delete my copy of itunes and reinstall. Or change a setting somewhere.

TS5376 For "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer", I followed the steps and there is no C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files..Also, after the update, I no longer show my disk drive when I load a CD.

After downloading the new Itunes update, my compter now shows error: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I follwed the Apple fix / steps but it did not correct it. Also, after the update my disk drive is not recognized on my computer. If I load a CD, I cannot even access it.

See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to the advice above) and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies. E.g. TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
