When I create a new document the icon doesn't show up in the finder

When I create a new document and close it the icon is not visible in the finder until I do a search. Then it shows up. I can't move it to other locations.

So where have you saved it to?
When you search for a file that is a search result not actually a folder.
The real location of the file should be shown in a chain of nested folders along the bottom of that window and you can open the folder that the file is in by double clicking on the enclosing folder's icon.
You need to pay attention to where you are saving files or you will have trouble opening the correct one later.
If you are new to the Mac go to http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
If you have come from Windows the method of saving, finding and organising files is not too dissimilar.

Pasteboard size is huge when I create a new document

When I create a new document or open an old document in InDesign CS4, the pasteboard is huge. For example creating an 8.5x11 document results in a pasteboard that is 36 inches wide buy 12 inches high. I have read all the solutions posed in other threads and none of them help restore the pasteboard to a reasonable size.
I typically create a document with 0,0,0,0 for margins. Minimum vertical offset for pasteboard in preferences in 1 in.
I uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign but the problem is still there. The problem is global (any and all documents i open).
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Are you sure facing pages wasn't selected when you created the document? How many pages are there?
The standard pasteboard dimension is 25.5" wide for non-facing 8.5" wide pages. As far as being a waste of space, you'd be surprised at how often you might need to move a page-wide object onto the pasteboard and still have the ability to see or edit the whole thing.

When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black. Why?

When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black. Why? I can edit some photos, whereas others I can not.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

iTunes 11 picked up on my entire extensive movie, tv show and music collection flawlessly, but importing a new movie into iTunes 11, it shows up in the list view, in the get info window the assigned artwork shows up, but the movie doesn't show up in the non-list (with artwork) view.
The media collection is on an external drive. And on my older Snow Leopard machine, the newly imported movie also shows up (with artwork) as it should.
Just not in iTunes 11 non-list )main movie) view.
Any ideas on this?
Cheers!

Wait - I meant to say that on the older machine the newly imported move shows up correctly using Front Row, not in iTunes.
Besides, i just noticed that my my hardware profile is not up to date - I am referring to an iMac running MountainLion 10.8.2

When I create a new mail or reply to a mail, where is the new window?

Suddenly, I can´t reply or create a new mail because when I do, the new window never appears! When I look in "Windows", I can see a list with all the empty "New Mail". But where are they? Help! Have I by mistake made some strange settings?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.1.x)

Look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.

Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Hi I can't seem to create folders to save emails in. I have added a new mailbox, but it doesn't show up on the left of the screen. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks

HI. I can't seem to create folders to save emails in. I have added (several!) new mail boxes, but they do not appear in the menu on the left of the screen. How can I access/view them? Many thanks

Well, just to confirm the process, open Mail and click on the word "Mailbox" up at the top pf the screen in the menu bar. Then click on "New Mailbox" in the list. In the window that opens, enter the name you want for this new mailbox. The new Mailbox will be located over in the left hand column under the heading there, "On My Mac". If you cannot see the mailbox there, then it is "hidden" under "On My Mac". You will need to hover your mouse cursor over the phrase "On My Mac" and just to the right the word "Show" will faintly appear. Click on "Show" and your Mailboxes under "On My Mac" will appear.

I tried your fixes but when I open a new tab, FF still doesn't show me previously visited websites, just gray boxes that cannot be clicked. Any other fix ideas?

When I click a new tab, I can't get any of the 9 boxes to show my previous browsing history. I have tried changing browsing, privacy and history settings and nothing has worked. The boxes still stay gray, not clickable. Any suggestions?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

When I'm in a call, I can hear beeping like I'm getting another call but the name doesn't show up and the only way I can see who called is if they leave a voicemail

I have an employee who has an issue when on calls. When he is in a call with someone, he can hear another call beeping in but no name shows up. The only way he can see who called is if they leave a voicemail. He says the phone is up to date with software. Wondering if anyone can help me figure out what is going on.

When using the line tool, The line doesn't show up in the box

When I click the line tool and use it in the white box it does not show up at all but it will show up outside the box. Please help.

I would have thought that was impossible!

I buy single songs before the album comes our and when I buy the album the song doesn't show up on the album, its still a single. Isn't there a way where the single becomes apart of the album?

I been buying songs that are singles, like for example: Give Me Everything (Ft. Ne-Yo) by Pitbull and then I bought Pitbull's new album Planetpit and the song didn't show up as part of the album. It still says that the song is a single. Isn't there a way that the songs from pre-ordered albums or singles suppose to be added to the album after the song is purchesed?

Drag the artwork from the artwork window to the desktop. Then, select the song without artwork and drag the artwork to the blank artwork window.

Certain websites like Craigslist show a scrambled, blurry security word image that the user has to type into a field in order to submit an ad. With Firefox, the word doesn't show up in the field. I have to open Explorer to accomplish this task.

When a user posts an ad on Craigslist, they are sent an e-mail with a link. Clicking on this link brings the user to a page where the ad content can be checked, and the last step is to retype the scrambled security word into a field. When I'm on Firefox, this word (which I'm assuming is an image file like a .jpg or a .bmp) does not appear.
I just had this same problem on a website called Sailing Anarchy when trying to register a new account.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

When I create a new document in inches, with the ppi set to 300 in advanced settings, my document is still calculating at 72ppi. How do I change that?

Here are pictures of the issue I am talking about.
Pixel Problem - Imgur
When I try to create a document at 6in x 4in and ppi is set to 300, when i flip to pixels it should be 1800px x 1200px. But its not, it is calculating the dimensions at 72ppi. Why?!?

monkeyde,
You are getting entagled in the two confusing meanings of the term pixels, namely as a unit identical to points and equalling 1/72 inch, and the basic component of raster images (and effects).
You can read on in this very recent thread:
Is there a way to get Illustrator to know how many pixels are in an inch?
