  • Don't find some "Image Units"

    In my computer, I don't find some "Image Units". I have Generator and Gradient, but not "Composite Operation"
    I just reinstall all FCS suite,
    Why?
    Thanks.
    I have the last version of FCS and OSX

    I have unterstand the problems.
    You have two reason that itunes don't find the files.
    1) if the share is forward networking, the lost of share can be a good reason
    Itunes changed preference to the default localisation of your files in preference
    2) share the same files by two different libary of two computer or user differents
    I think that Itunes made a lock in the syntaxe

  • Itunes don't find some files after close the application

    I have a local network. I have decided to share my music from a share server samba on Linux to my laptop on XP , my macbook , and my Imac.
    I have made this solution because have many problems to share the music on my Imac between users.
    The libary sharing music is not synchronise during the time. I explain : If i import a cd to Itunes on My imac, my wife don't have the music. ( security problems I thinck). ITunes is on Public and the acess is granted for users.
    I was admin Unix system
    I don' t wanted to copy the files on the Itmusic on each users.
    The other solution is the linux server samba sharing a directory Itunes_share. I have made a directory Itunes Music and put all the files mp3 and podcast.
    the share is good by selinux and the group is Itunes
    After that Itunes has recreated the share database. The system is right.
    But tomorrow, I has lost the songs on the interface. When I click on the song , I have a !
    The problem is the same on Windows XP
    After the migration for Iphone 2.0, song with ! apparears.
    Just yesterday, i have access Itunes with the user, and i can hear song with ! . The files have on disk but ITunes don't find after closing the aplication.
    Also , I has note that the lenght of the string is cast . And you have 2 files for the same files.
    Just the name is different. ie : the lenght is 14 caracters the other is 16 caracteres
    The problem is current
    I thinck that is a bug of Itunes

  • Why my spotlight don`t find library files?

    Is it normal? If i write: com.apple.finder.plst for example, it is not showed me!!

    Personally, I don't care much for Spotlight precisely because it doesn't seem to be able to find anything, or at least what I'm looking for. The search feature used to work better in previous OS. In any case, another user here gave me a tip some time ago and this works:
    Open a new window by pressing these keys: Command and F
    You will get a new window
    Make sure you choose "System files" in the "Kind" drop down and "are included" in the second drop down.
    Now type the name - or .plist - into the search window. I just tried that and every preference file popped up.

    Many plugin vendors haven't updated their plugins to work with x64, or you have to download a special x64 version (Flash and Java for example). Which plugins is it that you are having problems with?

  • Spotlight not finding (some) apps by German names

    Hi,
    I today ran into a problem with spotlight that, I think, wasn't mentioned here yet. I wished somebody could help me.
    I am using Mac OS X with German as the default language. So some apps, especially in the Utilities folder, then have a different name - their German translated name. E.g.: Directory Access>>Verzeichnisdienste, Keychain Access>>Schlüsselbund, Console>>Konsole etc.
    Now if I type in one of these German names Spotlight doesn't find any result for applications on my PowerBook. But if I type in the English name of one of these apps, they are found.
    However this issue doesn't apply to all of these translated-name apps. For example there are "Disk Utility>>Festplatten-Dienstprogramm" and "Installer>>Installationsprogramm" which are found by German name - not by English name (I think this is the way it should be...)
    I've just deleted the Spotlight index and let it build it up from the ground. However, nothing has changed. This issue doesn't occure on my sister's or girlfriend's iBooks as well as on the PowerMac G5 of a friend. They all use German as the default language and have all installed 10.4.3 like me.
    Any ideas what goes wrong here? Thankful for any help...
    Regards, Canubis

    my guess is that the spotlight index was damaged during the hard shutdown. You should reindex your drive. add it to soplight's privacy tab in system preferences. close system preferences, open them again, remove the drive from the privacy tab and close system preferences. Your hard drive will be reindexed and spotlight should work fine afterwards.

    Hey @piyali, I wanted to inform you that your phone doesn't have a software to transfer that information. But for you to know when you transfer the messages to the computer it will just appear a regular notepad document, so basically, you could just copy the information from the text message into a notepad in your computer and you can keep those important memories for yourself.

  • Spotlight finds some files, not others

    Hey Apple, Spotlight not only fails to work as advertised, it's essentially useless. A search tool that cannot be relied on is a search tool that is not worth using at all. Your failure to make this vaunted "feature" work by version 10.4.3 is really a black mark on the Apple brand.
    Here's my experience:
    1. Upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3. Process was long but went smoothly. New OS is snappier and has several welcome new features.
    2. Experimented with Spotlight. It quickly found text buried in Word and other documents. Stellar.
    3. Spotlight did not find text inside Wordperfect documents. This did not surprise me because I don't have Wordperfect on my system, so these files were unreadable.
    4. Converted the Wordperfect files to Word, saved them, opened them and closed them. Spotlight still did not find text in these files.
    5. Created a new Word file. Spotlight did not find EITHER the name of the file or the text inside it.
    6. Used Onyx to re-index Spotlight. No improvement. Turned computer off and back on a couple times. Still no improvement.
    Note: I have not made any changed to the Privacy setting or anything else, other than to re-order the display of Spotlight's results. Do not have any third-party system software or utilities besides Onyx, and this problem occurred before I even installed Onyx. Also have never fiddled with the command line.
    Any tips? And any idea when Apple will get its act together? This is a real shame. Apple should be embarrassed.

    Update:
    I re-indexed Spotlight by marking then unmarking my Macintosh HD as Private in Spotlight Preferences. Spotlight then found the name and contents of the Word file I created after upgrading to Tiger. Who knows why it didn't find this file the first time I re-indexed.
    Spotlight continued to ignore all content of the files that I converted from Wordperfect to Word -- until I opened each file and saved them using the "save as" command. Then Spotlight worked.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8 and I no longer have any of my mail folders in macmail. If I look up an email via spotlight, I can find it, so it's in there. How do I restore my folders?

    I upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8 and I no longer have any of my mail folders in macmail. If I look up an email via spotlight, I can find it, so it's in there. How do I restore my folders?

    As an update: I was able to find my archived boxes and emails on my hard drive by doing this:
    Open a Finder window.
    Select Go | Go to Folder… from the menu.
    Type "~/Library/Mail/V2".
    Once I was able to get my macmail working properly, most of my mailboxes appeared, however not all and only a few recent emails are in a few of the boxes.
    I really need to move the emails from the archive back into my macmail. When I try to import using the mbox method, it doesn't recognize the .mbox even though they are .mbox. Other than re-emailing each individually to myself, I don't know what to do. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to some easier solution?

  • IPhoto does not find some photos.

    I use a desktop iMac (20-inch, early 2008), OS 10.7.5.
    The iPhoto search feature refuses to find some of my photos from a recent upload.
    I have eight recent photos of a Crane Hawk in my iPhoto library. I imported them and then labeled them, adding tags, as I've done with 10's of thousands of other photos. I wanted to find them using the search feature rather than digging through a large Event, but when I enter the words "Crane Hawk," I quickly get the five other Crane Hawk photos I've taken over the years, including two even more recent, but not these 8 that I was looking for. I know what event they are in and when I took them, so with some more time, I can go find the photos. But I should be able to bring them up with all my other Crane Hawk photos with the same search.
    When I looked further into this, it appears that most if not all of the photos from this same upload won't appear with a search (I have filed them in different events).
    I've checked for odd characters, typed, and retyped the photo title, even copied the photo title and pasted it into the search field – and they still won't appear. When I search using the file name (which I find by hovering the pointer over the image title in the upper right), it comes up fine. The search function just can't see the title of any of these photos. When I added the words "Crane Hawk" to the description field of one of the photos, it appears iimmediately with the search, but there are about 500 photos from this recent upload that search won't find.
    I've tried suggestions on adding the Pictures folder to the Spotlight privacy panel, then removing it, but that doesn't help (is the search function within iPhoto really Spotlight anyway?)
    Thanks for your time.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Spotlight can't find kMDItemKind=="Alias" ??

    I backed up a bunch of old user accounts from a machine. When you create a user account, one of the folders created is "iChat Icons" within the Pictures folder. Of course, the iChat Icons "folder" is actually an alias.
    I am now trying to run a script that has to follow aliases on these folders. However, having it loop through thousands of "iChat Icons" folders is taking forever.
    I thought I could just do a smart folder for "iChat Icons" but that doesn't work. A similar search for a kind of "Alias" doesn't pull them up either.
    mdfind kMDItemKind=="Alias" finds some aliases scattered around the hard drive, but no where near all of them. If I search for a picture sitting next to the "iChat Icons" alias, it comes up, so the folder appears to be indexed.
    Any suggestions? I sure don't want to go through this manually...

    Mike -
    At one point in time, I was using the computer as a file share, and I wanted each user to have their own log in. It was a hacky set up, but it worked.
    When we moved to an actual server, I copied all of the user accounts over to a new machine using Target Disk Mode, and reset all of the permissions. I have yet to go through each folder and copy over each users files to the new location.
    So, now I have a ton of user accounts that have all sorts of data I don't care about (like the entire Library folder). I was hoping to just use Spotlight to search for things and delete them in batch (i.e. Kind: Folder, Name: Library). For most of the things that worked fine.
    When I attempted to FTP these accounts to a new location, the ftp program is trying to follow any symlinks/Aliases. So, I wanted to find those aliases (the iChat Icons are the only ones I know of so far) and remove them. I thought I could just search for them, but a search for both "iChat Icons" and "Kind: Alias" turns up nothing in those folders.
    These aliases were made automatically, although my current machine doesn't have it and it may have only been around in Panther.
    In the end, I wrote a PHP script to go through and remove the Aliases, so it seems to be taken care of (assuming no more pop up). I just thought it was odd that Spotlight only seemed to find some aliases.

  • Can not find some messages in Mail using search

    I have some problems with Mail.app I can not find some messages in Mail using search, the strange thing is that sometimes mail search finds some messages, but after rebuilding spotlight index the search displays other messages with the all messages searched using same search criteria. I have also tried to delete Envelope index file from the Mail folder in usr/library and forced mail to import all mailboxes but it started to crash importing some of mailboxes - I deleted the messages from that mailboxes, imported remaining mailboxes and tried to rebuild mailbox, but everything without a successes. Any ideas how to solve it?

    Have made a rebbot from Time Machine, and now I lack a lot of pictures. Can see icons, but not enlarge them. Especially pictures where 2009 is included in the date is missing?
    When I set up my desktop, I can find some of the pictures. Where do They hide, and what shall I do.
    Have made back up, but unfortunately a little too late. What to do?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Spotlight does NOT find iPhoto keywords

    Hi,
    maybe you guys can help me.
    Spotlight does not find any of my iPhotos attached with keywords.
    My System is: Mac OS 10.4.4 and iPhoto 6 (5 did not work either).
    This is what I have tried so far:
    - repaired permissions more then once
    - rebuilt the spotlight database through the terminal
    - marked my iPhoto folder as privacy in the spotlight preferences and unmarked it
    - removed all keywords (1. try: marked all together; 2. try: marked all together and put them in a new empty list) , closed iPhoto, opened it and gave all an dummy keyword; removed the dummy keyword and assigned one-by-one for some iPhotos new keywords
    - archived the iPhoto database and let it built up by iPhoto again
    - ran the comboupdater of 10.4.4 again
    The last try I am thinking on is a "archive&install" of Tiger but maybe you have another idea???
    PS: Whats strange is that when I look at the processes while assigning keywords, the process 'mdimport' starts to work... but again, Spotlight does not find the iPhotos by keywords.

    I also had this happen to me several times. Once when I first moved to OS X 10.4 and again when I had to reload my computer. Each time I had archived my iPhoto library to a second drive, installed the OS on a clean formated drive and then copied the iPhoto Library back into my home directory.
    From that point, Spotlight would refuse to search for files via keywords. That is, until I updated the photo. By select each photo and changing somthing about the photo, wether editing the photo, changing its star rating to something else and back again, or even adding keywords to the photo, even putting a comment of a blank space in for each photo, doing anything to the photo that would update the xml file would cause that entry to get updated and in turn allow the photo to be searchable by keyword via Spotlight.
    There are scripts available that can actually put the iPhoto keywords into the photo file iteself. The one I am using also needs to have GraphicConverter installed. This way I can search either through iPhoto or Adobe Bridge for the Photos that I want to use.

  • Spotlight does not find files with "_" (underscores), but only for certain file types

    Hey Folks,
    this is strange, maybe someone has an idea.
    I already searched the internet for a while, nothing found so far.
    I have a file "calc_mean.m" on my desktop.
    When I type "calc" in spotlight, it shows the file.
    But when I type "calc_" it suddenly does not show the file anymore. Nor does find the file, when I enter "calc_mean.m" in spotlight.
    When I enter "calc mean.m" in spotlight, it finds it (using space instead of the underscore).
    Now comes the real surprise:
    When I rename the file to "calc_mean.txt", spotlight suddenly DOES find the file when entering "calc_mean.txt".
    I recreated this "feature" with other files, copying and renaming ".txt" files to ".m" files, and if there's a underscore in the file, spotlight wont find it.
    Playing around a bit more, it seems spotlight does find files with underscore when they are documents, at least it works for the following extensions:
    .pdf
    .doc
    .txt
    .xls
    But these extensions for example do not work:
    .mp3
    .m
    .k
    .a
    .ka
    (and other random endings I tried).
    I am pretty confused. Sure it's no big deal learning to search for files that include underscores in their name using space instead. But I'm still quite puzzled. Any idea?

    All of those have meaning in various database search syntax (not sure if it matters).
    _ usually means any character.
    % usually means any run of characters.
    - is often used to negate what comes next, i.e. "don't include results that have the following text."
    I don't see any problem on my Mac, though.
    I also don't have any problem finding file names with those accented characters using Spotlight. I would suggest reindexing Spotlight, but if cmd-f finds them, I'm not sure that would help.
