When i click on 'Show all in Finder' after searching for anything on spotlight, NOTHING happens! NO Finder window opens up and the spotlight dropdown menu just shuts! Please help!

I'm having the same problem in other places as well, for example when i downloaded Easyfind right now, clicking the small magnifying glass button on the right of the file name (shown below) would usually open up finder highlighting the file, but now nothing happens when i click on that button!
Is there a solution for this, as this was a very useful feature which i used ALL the time?

  • When I apply smoothing to a clip, it does nothing and the video frame remains static! Please Help!

    When I apply smoothing to a clip, it does nothing and the video frame remains static. As opposed to moving around in order to compensate for my movement, which exposes black edges. That is what I am trying to get. Please help
    These are the steps I follow. Import clip > Library > Behaviours > Motion > Stabilize. I then add the stabilize > go to inspector and change method to smooth and finally, analyze. However, it is not doing anything. My Macbook Pro was recently replaced and this is what I recall doing on my previous one, but it doesnt seem to be working for me. Is there a step im missing or something?
    Thanks for any help!

    Smooth is just going to smooth out a little "jitter" or jerkiness in the footage. Unless there is a lot of camera movement, you won't notice much. If you really want to see Motion go to work, change the Method to Stabilize.
    BTW, once the footage is analyzed, you can make any changes you want to any of the other parameters - you don't have to re-analyze. I recommend Stabilize with Adjust: Position Scale and Rotation and Borders set to Zoom (depending on the quality of the video) — or you might consider adding a mask to the group the stabilized video is in

  • Spotlight "Show all in Finder" not working

    Hello
    I have a mac book pro 2.7 Ghz i& with 16 GB RAM
    1) Whenever I search for something in spotlight, when I click on "Show all in Finder", nothing happens
    Also, When I check the preferrences, I have some yellow triangles for the keyboadr shortcut
    I've reindex everything but same issues comes up.
    2) Also, it seems that it only searches on local drive, not on my external drives as well, even though they are also indexed.
    Thank you

    Got me stumped there.  My understanding (limited) is that the Apple Events daemon works for a while when freshly launched, but for reasons unknown it gets bolloxed after a certain number of calls.  No error messages appear in Console, which makes it especially hard to track down.  If yours gets hosed immediately, that's not the usual pattern.
    iPhoto and iTunes use Apple Events quite a lot.... if you have either of those apps running, you might see what happens without them.  Failing that, see what happens when no applications are running.  Finally, see what login items are being fired up (System Preferences => Users and Groups => Login Items) and disable those.
    This bug only crops up on a small number of Macs, and as far as I know nobody's been able to track down what triggers it. 

  • When I go to "Show All History" there's nothing there and I don't know what happened. Help?

    When I click on "Show All History," the normal window appears. However, there's nothing there and the only thing in the sidebar on the left is "Bookmarks." I looked under my preferences and saw that I had custom history settings set, and though I couldn't find anything that made sense as to why my history isn't showing it up, I changed it back to the generic "Remember history." However it's still not showing any of my history. I'm confused.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Finder window opens when user logs in

    I apologize if this has been answered previously - I can't find anything on this topic.
    Every time a user logs in to one of my eMacs - OS 10.4.10 (whether it be a local or network user) a new finder window opens that displays the users home. I would like this window to stop opening. I've read some responses that say to close the window then log out and the window should be gone when you log back in. That is not the case. I thought this solution my work on my local users but it doesn't work for either type of user.
    I'm trying to avoid writing a script to close the window. I'd like the window to just stop opening in the first place. I tried editing the finder.plist file and I can change what the window opens to, but I can't "turn off" the actual opening of the window.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I do not have anything checked in the login items. This is happening for both local and network accounts. I'm more concerned about this issue for my network users.
    I've discovered that the problem seems to have something to do with a script I had running via a login hook. Is there any way to run a script when a network user logs in without adding it to a login hook?
    We have a program on our eMacs that resets the computer back t o its original state every time the computer is restarted. For this reason network user profiles are never stored on the eMac they are recreated from the default user template every time a user logs in.
    Maybe this extra information will help!
    Thanks!

  • FINDER WINDOW OPENS UP AFTER STARTUP !!!!

    Hi all i seem to be having a problem that was not happing before I installed the
    Latest Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) update. Here is the problem when I startup
    The system and log on after the desktop shows up a finder window opens
    To the top level in other words it opens my computer showing the drives
    Net and devices it never did this before it does this every time now, ok
    Now lets talk about what other people have done about this problem
    It would seem that some of these solutions worked for some and Did
    Not for other in other words it not all the same problem or solution.
    1. Delete the finder pref plist did not work!
    2. Check user login startup items no there was not any items in there that
    Would cause this!
    3. I also checked to see if it was a wallpaper problem that did not work!
    4. And no I did not have any windows or app’s running when I shutdown
    The system.
    So I have had no luck with this problem oh here some more info
    I have two Mac systems and they are both doing the same thing
    Now both have the same os version slash updates
    One system is Mac Book Pro the other is a Mac Pro

    it shouldn't be blank... it should look something like this:
    finderinfo[0]: 164 => Blessed System Folder is /System/Library/CoreServices
    finderinfo[1]: 510937 => Blessed System File is /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
    finderinfo[2]: 0 => Open-folder linked list empty
    finderinfo[3]: 0 => No alternate OS blessed file/folder
    finderinfo[4]: 0 => Unused field unset
    finderinfo[5]: 164 => OS X blessed folder is /System/Library/CoreServices
    note the *finderinfo[2]: 0 => Open-folder linked list empty*
    if this is the case for your system (including other mounted volumes) then it must be a separate issue.

  • I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

    I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.
    Rich

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...

  • Spotlight does not open a finder window when i choose Show all in finder menu?

    I have a significant number of files in my Macbook Air. A lot of them are research papers and medical literature.
    About a month ago I updated the operating system from snow Leopard to mountain Lion and I had no reasons to complain except a smaller battery time.
    Since then I installed every OS update.
    After the last update, a few days ago, Spotlight does not open a finder window when i choose Show all in finder menu.
    Spotlight continues to work properly if I write a name or expression in spotlight in a finder window but not in the upper left corner at the menu bar
    As this been described yet?
    Thank you in advance
    Miguel Tavares

    I had the same problem yesterday after performing a clean install of Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on my MacBook Pro.
    I resolved the problem by booting from the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition and then running Disk Utilty (Repair) for the primary disk on which Mountain Lion is installed.  It identified (and repaired) many permissions issues...
    When I rebooted following the repair, Spotlight worked again properly -- including the "Show All in Finder" function.

  • Spotlight's "Show All In Finder" Error

    When clicking "Show all in Finder" from Spotlight search, I continually end up with a blank Finder window showing up. Solutions?

    I am pretty sure this worked that way pre-Lion.
    Nevertheless, in spotlight if you want to find the location of the file (how do you do that) - a right-click option "Open Location" would be a great feature.  I mean what is the point searching for the file, seeing it, but have no idea where to copy it from, or remove it or otherwise?

  • HT203477 Why does my computer quit unexpectedly when I click on "Show the Project Library" in Final Cut Pro X ?

    Hello,
    When I click on "Show the Project Library" on Final Cut Pro X program, my computer unexpectedly quits.
    I just purchased an iMac 27in screen, (16G Ram) and all the features suggested by the Apple representative to run Final Cut Pro X.
    The program was working well for about a week. Afterward, I downloaded all my iMovie projects. I'm wondering if that has created this problem.
    Any suggestions as to what the solution might be?    Thanks.
    Jack

    Over the year I've used FCPX, it' s gone through "spells" where specific actions would crash it - much as you describe. Trashing preferences has nearly always fixed things. Several times, when it did not, I reinstalled the app.
    However, I've never imported an  iMovie project so I can't give any first hand advice. It will be interesting to see whether FCPX opens if it doesn't see those projects. (per Tom Wolsky's advice.)

  • Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

    I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
