Using spotlight I can easily see my file

Using Spotlight I can easily see my file & I can open the file-how do I find the location of the file in Finder? I am looking for the path, i.e Documents then a certain file path? Thank you!

Command-click once on the file in the Spotlight search results window and you'll be taken to the file's location.

if it's ntfs microsofts filesystem then you need a windows machine to recover them

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I can delete other files but several XLS files are giving me this message.

You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

HT2531 How can I see a file's enclosing folder.

Often I just need to know where a file is, not to open it. If I go to Spotlight, how can I see what its enclosing folder is? I think this used to pop up when hovering over a file name in Spotlight.
Thankyou.

If you are talking about the spotlight search in the upper right of the finder window it still has the tooltip that shows you the full pathname of what you are pointing at in the list.
If you select spotlights show all then the pathname is outlined at the bottom of the spotlight window and you can double click any of the items along that path to open that item.

How can I see my files on Time Capsul

How can I see my files on Time Capsul

Do you mean Time Machine files or ordinary files.. ??
Did you copy files to the TC? It should just open in the finder as long as the TC is available and the airport utility shows it connected.
If you want to see the contents of the TM files.. open the sparsebundle and use main Time Machine icon in the dock.

Can't see ADMX files in Group Policy Editor

I have a problem with ADMX files on my Server 2008 r2 group policy. I start by going to group policy editor. Then I browse to Computer Policy and then Administrative Templates. There is nothing in there... Which is weird... There has always been stuff there...
So, then I go in to add templates back in... I find the ADMX files in C:\Windows\Policy Definitions and also \\domain\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions and go to Add/Remove Templates. I click add and then browse to either directory (which has ADMX files
in them!) and see nothing. ADM files I can see fine. But ADMX I can't see. So, I see these links:
2008 R2 Server GP can't see admx files
I can't see admx files
Looking at them, they both say I should be able to see ADMX files in the central store...So I manually copy the ones in C:\Windows\Policy Definitions to the SYSVOL central store. Restart group policy editor... Nothing there when I browse the settings...
Still not able to add templates.
It looks like group policy editor doesn't know about ADMX files at all... Is there a registry setting or something that "enables" the ADMX files?
Thanks,
Scott

In gpedit / gpmc, the menu item : "Action -> Add/Remove Templates", is only applicable/useful for the older/legacy ADM files - the menu item isn't relevant for ADMX/ADML files at all.
The most common reason for an "empty" list of Administrative Templates settings, is an incorrect configuration of the Central Store.
The usual guidance tells us to place ADMX files here, to setup a CS:
\\domain\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\
This folder/file structure has to mimic what you would see at: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\
If your domain is named contoso.com, you would need this:
contoso.com\SYSVOL\contoso.com\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\
In that folder, reside your ADMX files.
You also need the relevant locale subfolder, and in there, you need the matching ADML files.
The best way to establish that, is to go to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\ on your RSAT PC, or DC, and copy all the contents including subfolders and files, into the equivalent folder of your CS.
Then exit GPMC (if you had it opened), and re-launch GPMC. No need to to anything else in GPMC, it will automatically, by default, look for a CS first, and, if no CS is found, will revert to the local policydefinitions folder structure.
But, if the CS folder structure exists *AND* is incomplete or incorrect, you will get your symptom.

Windows Server 2008r2 - Users somtimes can't see new files in folders unless a new file is created.

Hello Folks!
My users sometimes have a problem that user A sometimes can't see a file created or copied by user B to a directory within a share they can both access. Both are within the same group which grants them Full Access on the share, settings for permissions are
correctly set to be applied on directories, subdirectories and files.. Confusingly, this can be fixed when user A creates some kind of file (empty .txt, for example); the "missing" files will suddenly appear.
Windows Server 2008r2, DC
Windows File Server 2008r2, shares and files are located here.
ABENUM activated, needed for several folders.
The Domain-Admin Account is able to see all the files all the time.
Anybody got an idea what I could check?
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Boris

Hi,
When you use user A access the shared folder, did you do the refresh to check the result?
If the issue persists, please try to install this hotfix:

I am logged in to my Acrobat account but I can't see my files?

I have Acrobat on my iPad which is connected to my Acrobat account. I use it to read my ebooks just fine. But when I installed Acrobat on my Android phone and logged in, I can't see the files that I have on my iPad?
Is this a bug or is there something I'm not getting here?

When you read the ebooks on your iPad (with you logged in using your Acrobat account), did you explicitly save those files to Acrobat.com? Are you able to access those same files in browser?

Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- but can not see hidden files

Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- read on how to do this, but this involves being able to see the hidden fiels -- but can not see hidden files...any suggestions. Would like to transfer these files from iPod Touch to new laptop without software -- is that possible -- if not can anyone recommend a good free software to use?

There is no way to do so without software. I recently had a similiar task and was suggested to use iExplorer. It worked like a charm.
Refer to this page for iExplorer
Here is the page I was helped with on this task for reference: Export Songs
Hope this helps!

Can I see PDF files in the Imac through AppleTV?

Many times I deliver a presentation.
If I buy Apple TV, can i see PDF files in the Imac on the screen?

Thanks for the reply.
"You can't mirror your iMac through Apple TV.
If you have an iPad 2 or 4S you can use airplay mirroring to show PDF's."
Is there any other ways?
I have Imac, Ipod touch, Iphone 4 but do not have ipad2 and 4S.
I want to mirror my PDF files on the screen.

Mac can't see NTFS files

I have a 160Gb external UDB drive (Toshiba Gigastore) that I've repartitioned from being 100% NTFS into a 50Gb primary Fat32 partition and a 100Gb primary NTFS partition.
I was hoping to use the Fat32 partition to back my MacBook up and the NTFS partition to share (read-only) files from my Windows PC.
When the drive was 100% NTFS, my MacBook could see all the files, but now I've repartitioned it, the MacBook can't see any files on the NTFS partition. Disk Info knows there's some files there as the free/used spaces are correct, but I can't see anything.
John

MacBook:~ John$ ls -hal /Volumes
total 80
drwxrwxrwt 6 root admin 204B Oct 17 13:39 .
drwxrwxr-t 29 root admin 1K Oct 16 19:40 ..

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1B Oct 16 19:40 Macintosh HD -> /
MacBook:~ John$
Funny that the ls list on the Gigastore showed two '..' entries rather than '.' and '..'.
I wonder if it's because I've partitioned this disk into two? It was working fine as one large NTFS partition. Maybe I'll try making the NTFS partition first then a second FAT32 partition.

HT1145 I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.

I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac. How do I see them? I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.

You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1300?locale=en_US
Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.

External table, can't see the file

Hi
--This is what I do
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY data_dir AS 'C:\TEMP\'
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY data_dir TO my_user;
--I have my actual GAS.TXT file in the folder, the file looks like this
0003450305NG-5E6, TUSCANY VILLAS,26 FENTON STREET ROTORUA 3201, ROTORUA
002343043NG-9DE, LORALIS LIMITED,18 HARINGTON STREET TAURANGA 3001, TAURANGA
...etc...
--I do a select
SELECT * FROM all_directories
--and it shows
SYS DATA_DIR C:\TEMP\
--Then I create my ext table like this
CREATE TABLE external_table(
ICP CHAR(10) ,
NAME CHAR(20),
ADDRESS CHAR(30),
CITY CHAR(20)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY DATA_DIR
ACCESS parameters
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' AND '"'
(ICP CHAR(40),
NAME CHAR(100),
ADDRESS CHAR(100),
CITY CHAR(100)
location (DATA_DIR:'GAS.TXT')
--The table is created
--then when I try and do a select I end up with an error message
SELECT * FROM EXTERNAL_TABLE
ORA-29913 blah, blah
ORA-29400 blah blah
KUP-04040 file can't be found
ORA-06512 SYS.ORACL_LOADER
ORA-06512 blah blah
So, I reckon of some reason it can't see the file, but I do not know why?
The file sits on the Server in the C:\TEMP folder and the error log ends up in the C:\TEMP folder
I have tried several variations on this, but still same error. However, then I also tried these exact same scripts on another Oracle box, and it worked fine. So something with the machine/box I am using is not alright.
Would appreciate your thoguhts.
Thanks
Kari

As suggested, change your table definition to match the available data, and post an example like below with complete error message (not the edited version that is hard to understand).
