Unable to find files younger than 7 Days old in FINDER

When I save a file I can't find it until it is about a week or so old - or so it seems.
I have just save several screen shots to my iMac to illustrate this point but I can't find them. When opening my HDD to find them (either in Desktop or a special Sceenshots folder I set up by TinkerTool) my only options are:-
Previous 7 Days
Previous 30 Days
Earlier
Same applies if I try to use the 'Find' under File in the Finder Menu bar.
Even if I use "Finder Menu/File/Find" to search -
"This Mac"
"Last opened date" is
"within last" 1 "days"  -
all I get returned is the last folder(s) opened within the last 7 days. No files at all.
Something is wrong here? What have I messed up?  I'm sure this was fine a while ago - may be six months ago?  I've been using Macs for years. I've never come across this sort of problem before.  Help would be very much appreciated please!
TinkerTool has been reset to before it was started, incidentally.

In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and and com.apple.desktop.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop. 
If the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.

  • Hi, My recent trip pics on my iphone are more than 30 days old and my icloud photo sharing had been turned off.  How do I now share them to my PC which is on the icloud photo sharing?  I want to save/print these once shared to my PC.  Help?

    That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
    If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
    C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
    In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files).  You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
    One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it.  So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

  • HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts.  My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up.  Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

    I have the exact same problem.  I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts.  They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

  • I'm having trouble with my iCloud photos. I thought i could be a little sneaky and take a photo of my photos that were more than 30 days old, so they would be uploaded along with my new photos. that part worked, but i can't upload them to Snapfish?!

Any thoughts? I'm bummed. I've got a few hundred photos on my iPhone that I'd like to move seemlessly - or somehow at all.

  • Can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

    can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

    Sure enough...
    The 90 day period basically applies for telephone support if you don't have Apple Care (a three year apple hardware/apple software coverage that would be similar to an extended warranty for your TV) with the outstanding feature that you have unlimited telephone support for the entire 3 year period beginning when your Mac was first purchased.
    Your situation is similar to mine: I bought my MBP this august and just (literally) bought the 2TB TC. So the three year period began when the Mac was purchased and will run out when the MBP reaches it's exact 3 year anniversary. I went 4 or 5 levels above the sales staff and reached an individual at Apple whose exact title is: Sales & Service Management Representive. The first question I asked was is my TC covered under Apple Care and for how long, etc.: as the TC (as well as the MBP) have only a limited1 year warranty without Apple Care.
    If you've been following the posts on this exact site and several others, you'll see many upon many TC's experience a premature death around 18-24 months. So IMHO I think Apple Care is a good deal: coverage for your Mac as well as the TC (double coverage).
    On a lighter note something like double your pleasure double your fun: Xerox your paycheck!
    cheers...

  • I just dropped my phone in water.  It is less than 90 days old.  I have AT

    I just dropped my phone in water.  It is less than 90 days old.  I have AT&T...does anyone know if they will cover it or does apple care cover it?  Are you just out of luck with an iPhone if you have water damage?

    Of course they do not cover it. 
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $199
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
    For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details."

    I have an iPhone 5c but I wish to chnage the colour. Is this possible as it is less than 30 days old?

    If bought at an Apple store, yes. Make sure to bring the receipt and all packaging back, and they'll set you up for an exchange.

  • How to delete Folders and Files older than 10 day ?

    If I use this below command, I am able to delete only the files and files in sub-folders older than 10 day,
    forfiles /p "D:\Testing\Sample" /s /d -10 /c "cmd /c del /s /q @file"
    Please help...
    Thanks

    Hello Raman459,
    please see this blog entry:
    http://elderec.org/2012/02/scripting-delete-files-and-folders-older-than-x-days/
    Your command is ok for files, for folders you need to do another command:
     forfiles -p "D:\Testing\Sample" -d -10 -c "cmd /c IF @isdir == TRUE rd /S /Q @path"

  • PowerShell: Script to delete files older than X days

    Hi All,
    I am testing a script to delete files and I have it written down in my notepad as below:
    $foldername = $args[0]
    $maxage =      $args[1]
    gci $foldername | Where-object {($_-is [io.fileinfo]) -and ($_.lastwritetime -lt (get-date).AddDays(-$maxage) ) } |
    remove-item -whatif
    Question: When i try to run the script and  pass the parameters $foldername and 30 it doesn't return anything. I am expecting it to return with -Whatif
    To execute the script I wrote:
    .\myscipts\del.ps1  cmd2 30
    cmd2 is the name of the folder in my drive and 30 is ($maxage)  number of days old.
    Thank-you

    Thansks jrv, looks good! One more thing I wanted to ask do you know what it means by the error:
    "An Empty Pipe Element is not Allowed" I altered my script a bit but it gives me this error. and I am passing no parameters when i call the script. My Script I created is below:
    $name = $args[0]
    $chew = $args[1]
    IF ( $args.count -lt 2)  { Write-host "Please provide 2 parameters for this to work"
                    exit 1 }
    GCI $name | Where-object { $_-is [io.fileinfo]  -and ($_.lastwritetime -lt (get-date).AddDays(-$chew))}
     | remove-item -whatif

  • Unable to upload file more than 1 MB

    Hi,
    I am using the iPlanet web server for my web application.
    I am not able to upload a file of size greater than 1MB.
    Are there any settings on the iplanet server made that limit the file size for the uploading?
    Regards,
    Manasi

    Hi Mansi,
    It is not because of App server. It is due to the program/logic that you are using. There is one very good file upload application is available in open source where you can upload the attachments of 10mb within very less time.
    Download the jar from the following URL

  • Unable to upload file more than 2 MB

    Hi I am trying to uplaod a file to Oracle DB using struts . The file is being stored as a blob datatype . When the file-size is more than 2 MB the file does not get uplaoded . The property mapped to the form attribute returns null . IBelow is part of the jsp code
    <html:form styleId="sponsorBio" action='<%=response.encodeURL("/sponsorBioUpdate.do")%>' method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
    <TR>
    <TD valign="top" class="txt_12_dblue">Attach Biography Document</TD>
    <TD valign="top" class="txt_12_dblue">:</TD>
    <TD><html:file name="biographyForm" property="biography.formFile" /></TD>
    </TR>
    The property biography.formFile is coming as null in the backend
    Can anyone pls help .

    2 megabytes or 2 gigabytes? I could see a limitation with the former (as this is the size of the absolute value of the max of a signed int). But 2mb seems more like some configuration option is fouling your upload. What and how are you using to parse the multi-part?
