Spotlight Comments - are they attached to the file?

Just wondering, if I were to add some comments to a document under the "Spotlight Comments" box which comes up when you "Get Info" on the file...are those comments appended to the file or do they only appear when the file is on my computer.
Basically, if I send the file to someone else, I don't want the "comments" I added through Spotlight to be in any way attached to the file I send?

i believe the comments are only attached to the spotlight database. they should not travel with the file.

Get error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading" even when attaching 1 file

I attached multiples .pdf files to an email. Tried to attach the next file before the previous 1 finished attaching. Got error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading". Was never able to attach that 1 file to the email that I received the error message for; was able to attach subsequent files to that same email & send it. Now, I often get the same error message, even if I only attach 1 file & esp. when attaching .ai or .jpeg files. What can I do to fix this problem?

It looks like nobody has an answer for this despite of the 80 something views!
And here i thought Adobe admin would be monitoring the forum, but surprisingly, they don't even have the answer for this!!!

Spotlight comments are missing?

I added Spotlight comments to most of my documents to make them easier to locate. Easy enough, although it took some time.
This morning I've found that those comments are missing. Of the several documents I checked, none had comments.
The only thing I can think of is OnyX. I use OnyX to clean up my system periodically, and one of the options is the Spotlight Index.
Is selecting the Spotlight Index killing my comments?

One of the OnyX routines you ran killed them, but not Spotlight indexing. I almost never use the Spotlight comments field, because the content is not actually a part of the file. Instead the information is stored in a hidden Finder data file, and, as you've discovered, it is possible for this hidden data to get removed.

Cannot refresh table - test connection works fine but refresh gives "We couldn't refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server." error.

I'm having some difficulty updating a table in my powerpivot data model. The data for the table is stored in a local excel file; if I go to
Existing Connections select the connection and do a test then everything is successful. When however I try to refresh that particular table I get the following error:
"We couldn’t refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server."
In the past I had this and it was an authentication issue, the files are stored on SharePoint and I wasn't logged in to Sharepoint - I have however checked this and it can't be the issue because I have other tables linked to other excel files in the same
location that are refreshing without issue. Can anyone think of what may be causing it?
I have even tried creating a new local excel with the same data, added it to the data model and then tried a refresh and I I get exactly the same issue.
Are there any known issues with refreshing data from an Excel file if, after the initial import, you add columns to the table in the excel file I was wondering if this might contribute?
Thanks

Hi Maracles,
Thanks for your post.
From your description, I tried to reproduce this issue on my test environment. However, everything is fine for me. Could you please post the specific version of SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel?
You can try to use a trace file to troubleshoot errors in PowerPivot. If this issue still persists, please try to reinstall SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel to see if this helps.

Go to the Edit -> Preferences-> Playback
In The bottom section of the page click the drop down menu by Play Audio Using and select Windows Audio Session or something other than "Direct sound" or whatever it displays. Click Okay. This worked for me! I hope it works for you too!
Thanks,

TS3989 My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,

What model HD are they putting in the new Mac Pro's?

What model hard drives are they putting in the new Mac Pro's? I need to purchase a second drive in anticipation of a 2.8 I'm ordering and I want to get the same brand and model.

Mine came with the Seagate ST3320820AS_P; however, WDs are also in the mix. And don't forget that the BTO options allow increasing drive size; those may be different makes as well.

Bottom line is that if it's important that they match, wait 'till you can open the box and know for sure.

The words in the .docx (MSWord 2010) file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. What could be the reason?

The words in my .docx file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. For eg. the sentence "rate of success ......" is displayed as "rateof success" on the other computer. What could
be the reason for this? How to solve this issue?

Have you checked that the document is using the exact same font on both machines? If the second machine doesn't have the font installed that's used in the original document on the first machine, Word will pick the closest matching font, and that may
display slightly differently.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The apps you have purchased for your mobile device will not work on a computer. You will need to download the appropriate versions on your Mac from the Mac apps store.

Getting two preordered iphones delivered today, are they specfic to the lines or will I add the phone numbers in the set up process?

Getting two preordered iphones delivered today, are they specfic to the lines or will I add the phone numbers in the set up process? Do I have to be careful which phone is set up for each number or doesn't it matter?

I'd like to know the same thing, but for a slightly different reason.
I bought one 4S using my wife's elligbility but it will be for my phone number. She will be getting my old 4.
As I was typing this Mr. UPS just dilivered my iPhone. I made a crack to the driver if he had a few on the truck, he laughed and said he has a LOT!
Anyway, I'm off to work. I'll try and sync it to my iTunes and see if it puts my phone number on it. If so, then I presume we can call or visit an AT&T store to have my wife's number put on my 4.

I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

Question

The idea is that the button on the end of the location gar is smart and changes between being a stop or a reload button. It is a stop button whilst loading and a reload button once loaded.
The buttons can be dragged off the customise menu, or if they are already on the toolbar they may be re-positioned, they combine depending on the order they are in, separate them or move them so they swap places, instead of docking with the location bar.
