Where did places go ?
Frankly I don't like the new Finder window in Lions. Where did places go ? Instead I have Favorites - Shared and Devices. I used Places a lot in the last version of OS and I truly miss it especially since I did not upgrade all my computers. This is very confusing at times. Any chance a 3rd party could give me back my old finder set-up ?

"Places has been replaced by Favorites, and Search For is gone entirely."

Hi, my Mac Book Pro 15 inch lap top if i set it on the couch no matter where I place it slips off and luckily so far I have caught it before it falls onto the floor and gets ruined, of which I am super afraid of, due to what I initially paid for it as the consumer. Also, the couch is not made of slippery material at all. Also, when using it on my lap while watching tv, and multi tasking while doing my college homework, it even slides off of my lap at times. Why is it called a lap top then when it's not working as one? Are we to wear rubber pants that grip your products? Also, Why do you place on your Apple website that in one area a satin cover is available in the teal color, and then in another area it's discontinued? I believe it would be simpler if Apple would just remove the product all together from the purchasing website once any product becomes discontinued. Also, I was sitting here at home waiting for a reply about the satin cover in teal no longer being available period or that it has shipped, but yet I ended up calling Apple altogether myself and finding this all out that the only available color is the black. It would've been nice to have recieved an e-mail or a phone call on why it wasn't going to be shipped, or shipping instead of having to do customer services job and doing the leg work myself. Also, why is it that no one also even tells a consumer about the classes that were offered to a new consumer for 14 days after purchase of paying the $99.00s to learn about their macs of any kind? If I had known about such a program, I surely would've signed right up for it. Now I am being told that I can only take one clas at a time or something?!? I seriously wish I was told about this as a consumer of the Mac Book Pro 15 inch, because I would've purchased that offer right away, and now I am stuck and can no longer do it. Also I have had my computer since October of last year. So, I am in college as becoming a graphic designer within a degree of an Associates of Science and am now still struggling to learn the computer, and the programs I pruchased as well at the time of purchase, along with an Epson printer, the magic mouse, and the one year warranty. As for this all, I do believe that Apple needs to make a better bottom to the Mac Book Pro's within a much better quality for the price we pay as consumers, and all other lap tops and/or Notebooks in making them slide proof. The tiny rubber spots on the bottom of the lap tops or any Apple computer similar to mine just needs a better quality improvement to us consumers I spent good money on this purchase, I think now I deserve a rubberised protective cover for free for the slipperyness, and also since I was never told about the program for the classes of which a consumer was to pay $99.00s for, I think as a good paying quality consumer for Apple's products, I now deserve these classes for free as well.
Sincerely,
KimHi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim -
I had to take my iTouch to the Apple store today for a restore. My Macbook Pro was unable to restore after multiple attempts. I brought it home, plugged it in and it was still there - had expected all new factory settings, starting over from scratch. I was also expecting to be bummed out by the NOTES being gone as the Apple store guy said there was no backup for notes. Turns out - notes were still there and restored. What is gone are my videos...where did they go? The videos no longer appear in the iTunes library either. Does anyone know a way or place to find them and get them back on my iTouch? And...am I to assume that the Apple store guy was incorrect? Obviously the NOTES were backed up at some point...??

Where did my messages go? (Only "showing" 50 messages).
I have had my iPhone 3G set to show 50 Recent Messages (e-mail). I have had about 20 messages in my InBox, but then had more than 30 new messages this morning. Some of the older messages in my InBox have disappeared. I checked in the Trash, but they are not there. I changed the settings to show 200 Recent Messages, but the old messages are still missing. Where did they go, and is there a way to get them back?
Thanks,
GuyAt the bottom of the list of messages there should be a "Load more messages" place to tap. Is it not there?

where did my pics go. Transferred 40-50- pic from camera memory card to Mac via slot; lost pics on memory card and unable to find anywhere in Mac. May have gone to Open Office as Data . Is that possible and if so can I get pics back or if not so ,where could they be????
First place to check is in the iPhoto library. If the images were imported there then they will be visible in the previews created.
The physical location of image files in iPhoto is quite buried in folders within folders. So, if you want to copy them then select all of the ones needed from the previews and copy from iPhoto to a new location, preferably a new folder in the Pictures folder.
The other app that might have transferred the files is Image Capture. It would download files from cards or cameras. Launch this app and look in the preferences to see the default location of transferred files. -
Ive downloaded and installed Lion. I wanted to burn it to a disk but it seems to be gone now and with no option to download. Where did it go?
I'm curious about this, too..I was told by someone who successfully downloaded, that It downloads into your Applications folder to an app named "Install Mac OS X Lion.app"
I look in my applications folder and see no such thing called "Install Mac OS X Lion.app"
Does this item appear only when the download is complete? I'm accustomed to seeing at least an icon while downloading is taking place...perhaps this is different?
At any rate, the progress bar tells me I have about 6' 40" to go...can't wait!

Where did the "Save As" choice go under File in the menu bar?
Running recently installed Lion OS with iWork '09 on my Intel iMac there is no "Save As" under File menu. Where did it go? What do I do instead? Also iWork '09 Apple Training Series book says Keynote Custom Themes created should be backed up and will be found in Macintosh HD> Users> [your home folder]> Library> Application support> iWork> Keynote> Themes. There is no Library folder in my home folder! There used to be. Where could it have gone? Where *are* the Keynote themes hiding? They come forth from somewhere when called for. And I'm having no success in finding them via Spotlight either.
Well, if you want to Save as a PDF, that's a different issue: simply go to File > Print. In the Print window, go to the bottom left and click on PDF, then on save as PDF..... give it a name and place where you want to save it:
If you want to save in a format other than PDF, choose Export and you'll have several choices (including PDF as well). -
My documents and application folders are no longer on the dock, where did they go?
my documents and applications are no lnger on the dock, where did they go, how do I put them back?
Items in your Dock are actually aliases. The original items should be where they always were. The Applications folder is at the top level of your hard drive, and your Documents folder is in your home folder.
To recreate the those items in your Dock, open a Finder window (Finder > File menu > New Finder window.) For your Documents folder, click on the icon on the left of the Finder window that has your username on it next to a house icon. Look for your Documents folder. Drag this folder into the Dock. That places an alias of it in the Dock (the original item remains where it was.)
To get so you can see the Applications folder, click it on the left side of the Finder window, then go to the Go menu and select Enclosing Folder. Now drag the Applications folder from here into the Dock.
That should do it. Best of luck. -
I can't find My Photo Stream album after getting the iOS 8 upgrade. Where did all my pictures go??
That album, My Photo Stream, is no longer used.
Instead, look in "Recently Added" within Albums, and also within Photos in the various timescale views. Both places should contain photos taken by any of your devices. -
Where did 30GB of unused space on my SSD main drive go? I have a mid 2011 iMac that until yesterday had just 54GB of space occupied on the primary drive. I imported 45 minutes of video from an SD card. Could that have used up the space?
I added an SSD to my 27" 2011 iMac. Although Sahidus is absolutely correct, it is much easier to add an SSD replacing the optical drive, it wasn't that bad to add it using an entirely seperate cable using SATA-III. To me it is worth the extra hassle to install a SATA-III SSD. This is where you are going to get maximum performance.
Although it appears complicated, if you go slow, the procedure to install an SSD drive isn't too bad. It takes at most 3 hours, as long as you are prepared and have all the parts and tools.
http://www.btobey.com/learn/imac-ssd-install.php
This describes how I did it. Now I get awesome data performance from my iMac!
I think the 21.5" may be more difficult to find where to place the SSD. But im sure it is possible. Just be creative. -
Ahh! Where did My Pictures go!?
I tried to get the folder "My Pictures" which contains ALL of my pictures and sub folders etc etc onto my Desktop by Dragging the "My Pictures" Icon from the Finder onto the Desktop and then a little DUST smoke thing appeared and now I can't find it!!
Where did it go? I'm panicking! I can't lose all my pictures...and it definitely couldn't be that easy to lose them all?
I'm sure there is a simple solution but I'm completely lost...where has it gone?I have no idea where it went but I went to GraphicConverter and tried to see if the folder actually did in fact disappear off the face of the Earth but it was there and I just had to go to Users then I found it, made a duplicate of the folder and moved it to my Desktop and back to the normal place in the Finder.
I honestly don't know what that was all about, though! It really scared me haha. -
Where did "BT Notifications" for smartwatch go???
I recently purchased the Otium Gear S smartwatch which requires a bluetooth notification app in order to use over half of its features. At the time I purchased the watch there was an app available for this called "BT Notifications" however now that the watch has arrived the app is gone. Where did it go? And when/if we'll it be back? ?
I have been an iphone guy for many years now and would life to stay that way... But Android has a similar app that works perfectly... Just saying.. Could be a deal breaker for me.
Please help!Hello,
I apologize for the delay in responding to your message (I just saw it) and for the really lackluster responses you've received.
The Otium Mobile site has a owner's manual for the Gear S - it is a PDF. That PDF contains this link:
https://unibuying.blob.core.windows.net/apks/BTNotification_K6.apk
windows.net? Yup. I don't know why. Cheap bandwidth, I guess.
That APK is for Android devices and won't work on iOS devices - and, really, isn't needed for iOS. Be grateful, BTNotification digs its claws deep in to Android, and it wants access to everything! There is also a 2D barcode on the watch, as an app - QuickResponse. I don't know where that will take you, but it should be a link to the app. You'd have to have a QR code reader on your Android device to use that code.
Since that APK isn't signed by anyone, you'll have to turn off the protections Android has in place to prevent malware from running before you can install it. Don't worry, it will detect these protections and walk you through disabling them.
I did install the BTNotification app and paired it with one of my Android phones - that didn't enable all the features, like the remote camera and the BT Notifications app on the Gear S. Broken? Unfinished? That's kind of the impression I am getting.
The Gear S, when paired with OS X or iOS, works well enough to do things like control what music is playing, do file transfers, etc. I don't have an iPhone, so I can't tell you whether or not it will dial and take calls. I imagine it would, much like a BMW's iDrive. That the Gear S was able to reach in to my Mac and iPod and play music of BT, channeling the sound to the Gear S's speaker, was impressive.
I use a cut-down SIM inserted in the watch and it works perfectly. Granted, the on-screen keyboard is a bit small for texts. It's a pity the device won't pair with a BT keyboard.
Whether or not an iOS app can be written to take advantage of the Gear S is something I don't know just yet. I have a couple of other projects brewing, but I figure I'll get around to playing with it eventually. At least the device isn't ignored by iOS! That's a fantastic thing!
Now, if only we could get the PS4 BT controller to be recognized. Oh, how dreamy that would be... -
ITunes 8: Where did Importing/Burning prefs go?
Just installed 8.0.0 on the office laptop, out of curiosity. Usually I avoid such early iterations. Where did the Importing and Burning tabs go? They're not in the Preference window anymore. They used to be on the Advanced tab. Now that tab only goes one deep, showing the location of the library. I can't find anywhere the place to change importing and burning preferences.
When burning, after you select the playlist you want to burn and then click the "Burn Disc" button, the burning options will come up in a dialog there. You should be able to select the drive / audio or data CD / gap between songs, all the options that were in the Preferences > Advanced > Burning tab.
For the importing options, you go to Preferences > General > Import Settings... mid-way down the page and this brings up a dialog to select your import settings. -

Just installed upgrade to Firefox 4.0. Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar. I checked the Customize dialogue box and it isn't included. Is anyone else missing it? Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option completely gone from Firefox now? It was a very helpful button and allowed us users to stop a web page and move on if it wasn't what we needed.
In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
