Trying to find .m3u files - No Joy

I can see the files if I browse the Music For Car folder.
Don't want 'em, the car don't know what to do with them and then it is another file you have to skip over to play music.
If I put .3mu in the search criteria, and Music For Cars folder is selected and Filenames is selected no files are shown in the list!!!!!
If I remove the search criteria I can manually identify 90 + .m3u files. Surely I do not have to find each one by eyeballing each folder or is this something I have to do in unix to find files, I was hoping OS X might have a GUI way of doing it.
Oh I also searched for 'Stream URL Files' in the Kind selection but it can't find that kind either.
How come I can see these files but I cannot search for them????
Hey also why when I burn a DVD of this music is it full of the same files but with a . in front of each one, this is REALLY bad when navigating the MP3s on the car system as you have wade through hundreds of mp3 files that won't play.
I have search and searched to find out how to stop it from doing this but cannot find out how.
This is far from the intuitive Mac interface I had grown to love, this just seems flakey.
Anyone any ideas? I am frustrated as **** working on this for several hours trying to workaround a weird OS X bug.

If the volume has not been indexed by spotlight, then you won't be able to find anything. There are other utilities out there that will just do a flat file search for file names. You can also index the volume by opening the Terminal and typing: mdimport Don't hit return, yet, and leave a space after the command and drag your volume to the terminal window. Then, hit return. It will take maybe a minute to index the volume, at which point you will be able to search for those files.
The m3u files are apparently some sort of playlist format created by winamp or some other music player/organization software.
The ._ files are the metadata associated with the file, like Artist, Album, etc. Since the DVD file format is unable to store the metadata with the music file itself, the metadata is split off.
You can use a program like [BlueHarvest|http://zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest> or the dot_clean utility in the Terminal to strip out the metadata files. I haven't used either on a CD or DVD, but I imagine after moving the files to the burn folder or disk, you would then run either on that volume before you burn. I have to do the same on a USB memory stick that I use in my car.
For dot_clean, open Terminal and type:dot_clean -m Make sure you leave a space after the m and don't hit return. Now, drag your disk to the terminal window and the path to the volume will be placed after the command. Hit return and it will clean up your disk.

Trying to find a file that is not showing up on Computer!!!

I am trying to delete a file that i found on cleanmymac. I am trying to find the file on my computer, but it doesnt work!!! On CleanMyMac it even says the location of where the file is, But i cant find it!!!!

If the file is in your user Library, it's hidden by default in Mountain Lion. You can reach it on the Finder's menubar, Finder > Go > Hold the Option key down > Select Library.
Make sure you know what the file is before you delete it.

Trying to find all files or folders with a specific owner recursively

I'm trying to find any file with a specific owner, let's call that owner "domain\account1" I've placed 2 files and a folder at various levels in a directory structure and when I run the following code from the folder those files (or folder) exist
in, it works fine:
gci | Select fullname,@{n='Owner';e={(Get-Acl $_).Owner}} | Where {$_.Owner -eq 'DOMAIN\account1'}
But when I try to go to a common root of those files (and folder) and add -recurse to the gci, it shows only the folder. Is there something secret/hidden about gci that I need it to force-show, or am I doing something else wrong?
Thanks
[email protected]

No. They look roughly equivalent but the expression I used may be more flexible. You also can shorten yours more like thsi:
Get-ChildItemC:\Temp -Rec
| Get-ACL
| ?
{$_.Owner
-eq 'Domain\Admin'}
No need to wrap it in the pipeline.
This is exactly what mine is but I added a select with a calcculated property.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hard drive took a dump and trying to find iCal files....

Imovie continually tries to find deleted files

I deleted several clips from imovie (7.1.4) and now when trying to open imovie it gets hung-up continually trying to find the deleted files. I have emptied the project folder and still it searches for the deleted files. How do get it to stop trying to find the deleted files?

Try deleting iMovie's preferences file. With iMovie closed, in Finder go to your User (Home) folder Library/Preferences. Locate a file named "com.apple.iMoviexx.plist" where xx represents the version number. I can't recall the exact .plist name for version 7.1.4, which is iMovie '08, but for iMovie '09 it's iMovie8, and for iMovie '11 it's iMovieApp (that is, "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist").
Drag the appropriate .plist file to the trash. When next opened, iMovie will create a fresh file with the default settings, which you can change if desired in iMovie's menu (iMovie>Preferences).
Deleting the preference file sometimes helps when iMovie is not performing as it should. Deleting the file will not damage any of your Events or Projects.

Trying to find a file...

Hi I�m trying to read a file from a JSP page using a Java class. When I pass the folder and the file to the method of the class, I try to verify that exists the Folder and later that exists the file, but I have not any result (the method returns null) this is my code:
in the JSP page:
<%@ page import="Files.Readfich" %>
<%
String folder= request.getParameter("folder");
String fileUser = request.getParameter("file");
Readfich ObjReader = new Readfich();
String valueReturned = ObjReader.ReadFile(folder,fileUser);
out.println("valueReturned);
%>
.....in the java class (it is in the pack Files):
package Files;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.File;
public class Readfich{
    public Readfich(){}
    public String ReadFile (String uFolder, String f){
        String userFolder = uFolder;
        File FolderExisting = new File("/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/Usuarios/FilesUp/"+userFolder);
        String valueToReturn = new String();
        if (!FolderExisting.exists()){ /* DOES NOT EXIST THE FOLDER */
            valueToReturn = "Folder doesn�t Exists";
        }else{
            if(FolderExisting.exists()){ /* DOES EXIST THE FOLDER */
                File file = new File(f);
                    if (file.isFile()) /* DOES EXIST THE FILE */
                        valueToReturn = "File OK";
        return valueToReturn ;
}Who is the problem?? Thanks

first thanks:
When you wrote:
>If your file exist, you go to the else part so now your file exist but you again look for that whether your file exist or not.
in the first "if - else" I verify it the directory (userFolder) exists, not the file. and if it exists then I go to verify if the File exists.
Thanks very much. It already runs.
I have modify the code to:
public static String ReadFile (String uFolder, String f){
      String userFolder = uFolder;
      File FolderExisting = new File("/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/Usuarios/FilesUp/"+userFolder);
      String valueToReturn = new String();
      if (!FolderExisting.exists()){ /* DOESN�T EXIST FOLDER */
            valueToReturn = "DOESN�T EXIST FOLDER";
      }else{
            File files[] = FolderExisting.listFiles();
            for (int j=0;j<files.length;j++){
                  if (files[j].isFile()){
                       /* I try to verify if is my searched file */
                       if (f.equals(files[j].getName()))
                              valueToReturn = files[j].getName();
      return valueToReturn;

Photoshop crashed ,and a default project popped up showing many flash players, I tried to find the file I was working on, and found unreadable files:.lilo,eulaAccepted,initalPingback,Ipoption,userid.Can anyone tell me what these are? Thx

Does anyone know why photoshop would crash and a default project pop up,with a list of flash players.in Adobe Device Central? I also found files I couldn't open ;what format is this: .liloX6UO0q I can't view it. I think it has something to do with my Canon printer, which is a pain in general.THNX!

I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.

My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

Details please
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -- and -- http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html ---
I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

Spotlight/Finder can't find a file, yet when I search the timecapsule for they find it. If I try to restore the file I get "file with that name already exists...." What is wrong?

I was trying to find a file (iTunes Backup). When using finder/Spotlight they couldn't find the file.
I then opened up my timecapsule and searched for the file....tick-a-de-da it found it in yesterdays backup. I attempted to restore the file and got the prompt "A file with that name already exists in this location, would you like to keep both, replace the file or cancel the request.
So if the file is there why can't spotlight/finder find the file??
If it helps I get this from the terminal when checking if indexing was enabled.

Hi Danielle,
Is there any possibilty that some of your files (a VI or DLL?) have been moved, renamed, or deleted? Also, what version of LabVIEW are you using and are you using any .NET DLLs? Another option to consider would involve VISA or DAQmx property nodes. Are you using any of these property nodes in your code? Here is a KnowledgeBase article to describe more about the VISA and DAQmx property nodes in a source distribution:

Disk is full, but I can't find the file(s) that fill it.

When I got to my computer this morning it's root partition was full. That partition is over 400G and when I left the computer last night it was nowhere even close to full.
I spent a moment trying to find the files that filled the disk. I tried `du / | sort -n` This tells me the space is taken up by /home/dave. However, there are no files in that directory that would account for all that space. (du reports the directory is ~400G, but reports no files that would account for the space)
Then I rebooted the machine. Then suddenly my space was available again.
What's going on? I'm puzzled and confused.
I should mention that the root partition is EXT3 on top of LVM on top of RAID1, as described http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … AID_or_LVM. Is there a bug in this?

(the `df -h` above is after reboot. Sorry I don't have a copy of the before reboot, but it showed 400G used on /)

I can't recall the exact details, but I remember some disk usage going crazy on one of my own machines. 'du' was reporting more than 'ncdu' (an excellent package in the AUR that combines du and ncurses) or whatever similar tool I was using to see if du's craziness was correct (which it wasn't, of course).
I don't exactly remember what I did to fix it, but I think I rebooted and everything fixed itself.
I'm really venturing out here since my memory of this is so vague, but I might have had a (supposedly) full partition too, but I can't remember that part all that much.
And I run JFS without anything fancy (like RAID or LVM), so there are filesystem-independent issuez somewhere...

ID crashes as it can't find the file ROMAN.TXT (but it's there!)

Hi to all,
I have just updated my Mac OS to Yosemite. Now Creative Cloud Desktop App doesn't launch and ID CC 2014 (10.1.0.71) crashes trying to find the file Roman.txt. I've replaced it with a TimeMachine copy when it worked under Mavericks.
I trashed caches and preferences, even put a copy of the application folder from TimeMachine, but it keeps on not starting up.
The rest of the applications (except for the Creative Cloud Desktop app) do work properly.
Any ideas will be welcomed.
Thanks!

I will answer to myself...
After a new reinstallation it does work. Creative Cloud Desktop app continues not being able to launch under Yosemite.
