Where do I find files that are saved "to this device"

Where do I find files that are saved "to this device"?
Thanks

You can not download files to the device through safari.
Photos and PDFs can be saved in photo and PDFs in iBook.
Files can be saved through iTunes on a computer, they have to be placed in the app used to view them.
What is it you are trying to do?

I cannot open any pdf files that are saved to my computer. Keep getting error 507:507

Every time I try to open a pdf file from a website or through an email it will not let me opne the file. I can open files that are saved to my computer but that doesn't do me much good in some scenarios. I run IE 10 on Windows 7 Home with Adobe Reader XI 11.0.04. I have tried unsinstalling and reinstalling. It works fine for a few days then the errors start again. HELP!

Thank you Pat!!!

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

I just bought a 5g iPod touch and was wondering if there were any ihomes out or coming out soon that are compatible with this device? I know about the lightning adapters but read about their bad reviews and would like to avoid buying one for my ihome

I just bought a 5g iPod touch and was wondering if there were any ihomes out or coming out soon that are compatible with this device. I know there are adapters and cables you can purchase to use with your existing ihome but read the poor reviews on them and was scared away. I use my ihome very regularly and need this accessory to work with my new iPod. If you have any information on this, please help!

iHome already makes docks that support the Lightning connector:

Can't open songs because it can't find files that are where they should be

For about 90% of my Itunes library, when I try to play a song it says it can't be opened because the file can't be found. I can find the file and it's exactly where it should be and once I find it, it plays fine. These are not new songs, but one's I've had in the library a long time. It's pointing correctly to the Itunes music folder, but only seems to be able to find stuff that I fairly recently added. Can anyone help?

It is likely that something has been moved. iTunes does not do folder watching so if anything moves or is renamed iTunes will not find it.
If you open iTunes Music Library.xml with WordPad, you can see where iTunes thinks your music files are located.
Look for Lines starting <Location>, note the the space character is represented by %20 in the path.
You can look for specific files with Find.
This may help you to workout what has gone wrong. Whether or not this leads to an easy solution is less certain. If the files are not where iTunes thinks they should be, and moving them so that the path is correct is one possibility if it can easily be done. The other is to use Find and replace to correct the paths if there is an easy edit that can be done. Then recreate the library from the xml file as in this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
The third possibility that is easy and certain to work is to start with a new library. But this loses all counts ratings and playlists.
Close iTunes, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml out of the iTunes folder to the desktop.
Open iTunes and an empty library is created. Use File>>Add folder to library... to add you iTunes Music folder.

How can I access files that are saved in the iCloud?

Hello fellow apple fans,
I downloaded Mountain Lion yesterday and was very pleased to find out that it is possible to upload several file types from several programms into the iCloud. But now I am concerned that this feature could turn out to be useless for me: e.g. the PDF-upload from Preview" - once I uploaded it I can't find it annywhere, neither on my iPhone nor on icloud.com. I can only access it when I open Preview and look for "documents saved in the cloud". Same problem with several types of files - I can't find anything that can't be opend by the iWork-suit if I don't use the same programm that I used to save it in the cloud.
Is this feature only meant to help people that own more than one Mac?
Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, you're right. You can open iCloud documents on multiple devices, but only if they have the exact same software. If you save documents on Preview or TextEdit on your Mac, you can't open them on your iPad or iPhone because there is no equivalent software.
I use Goodreader to read documents on my iPad and iPhone, and there is a workaround that I learned about on a popular Apple fan site that allows me to access my Goodreader iCloud files on my Mac (they are stored there even though there's no direct way to access them). Hopefully, Apple will address this issue and make such workarounds unnecessary.

Spotlight still can't find files that are right in front of me

Sigh. I'm noticing that Spotlight still cant find files correctly. Maybe I'm the stupid one here, but when I do a search on "This Mac" for a "File Name", and the "Kind" is set to "Folders", and I set the word "Wonder" as the search parameter, how come it results in no items, yet I'm LOOKING at a folder called "The Wonder Stuff" in my music library? All the Spotlight file types are checked "on" and nothing is being excluded or is set to private.
God, I long for the System 9 find. I really do. Almost every day.

Hi,
When you say "Spotlight," are you using the text-input box that displays when you click the magnifying glass at the upper right-corner of the menubar? Or are you pressing command-F in the Finder and using a Finder window?
When I type "Aimee" in the Spotlight text input box mentioned above, it returns/finds the "Aimee Mann" folder that is in my Music folder.
Have you checked out EasyFind? It might meet your needs.
Hope this helps!

Can I edit footage, using the DV files that are saved over a network?

What I mean is, I have saved my MiniDV DV footage to a external hard drive which I connect to over ethernet, its not a NAS, its a HDD in a PC I have.
I have my iMac (intel 2GHz), can I use iMovie 08 to import,edit and save to the HDD over the network?
Its just the files are big (ie 13Gb per hour), so I save them on my external HDD, rather than my iMac
Will it cause any problems? or anything?
cheers

Ethernet is generally slower than FireWire.
You could import the files into your iMac and edit them there, then save all the edited material back onto the external hard disc. But Ethernet isn't generally fast enough for real-time editing (..across the network..) onto the external disc. So you'd (1) move the files to the internal, (2) edit them there, (3) export or Save the edited project back again to the external disc.
Note than a disc formatted for use on a PC will probably be identified by your Mac's 'Finder' as a "PC Exchange format" disc ..the file system used on the disc would probably be the DOS 'FAT 32' system.
Although Macs can read and write to this format, some of the iMovie-specific "metadata" may not be saved onto a FAT 32 disc; iMovie prefers to work with a Mac-formatted "Mac OS Extended" format ..but PCs generally can't read or write to that!
So what you may need to do is to bring in all your material onto the iMac for editing, and then 'Share' or Export the resultant movie(s) as QuickTime movies (..instead of as original 13GB-per-hour DV files..) if you want to be able to play the results on that PC itself.
But I'd avoid using an external hard disc which is actually in a PC; the format (file system) - although
it'll work with a Mac - is all wrong for iMovie.
Invest in a proper, separate external FireWire hard disc - they're cheap now: Amazon's selling 1000 gigabyte discs for £89 ..that's about $140..! - and immediately format it (..using Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility..) as 'Mac OS Extended', and then use it exclusively with your iMac.
You'll be far happier that way..

Where can I find files that I have dowloaded from the internet

Fails to find files that exist, fails to search everywhere

Running OSX 10.4.3 on a Powerbook G4 1.5gHz and on a PowerMac G4/867.
I hope it is because I am doing something wrong, but so far I am very unimpressed with Spotlight, for the following reasons:
•It fails to find files that are known to exist. For example, I have an application named MacTracker. It is in my Applications folder. When I enter
tracker
in the search field,
(with location set as wide as "computer" or as narrow as "Applications", with or without a "name contains" restriction) Spotlight will not show MacTracker as existing, even though I can see it with my own eyes, in the Applications folder window in the background. Only if I search on
Mactracker
will Spotlight see the application. This seems ridiculous to me. Any search, especially a "name contains" search, ought to show MacTracker if I search on track, tracker, actra, mactrac, etc. But, no. I have to enter "MacTracker" if I want it found.
•I make use of OSX Mail only occasionally. For most of my e-mail, I use a Unix mail handler known as PINE. PINE stores incoming and outgoing mail as plain text files in /users/me/mail . However, Spotlight refuses to include that location in its searches. I have tried using the Spotlight preferences to add
/mail to the list of specific places to search; no luck, Spotlight appears completely blind to anything outside of the locations Apple arbitrarily decided I needed to be able to search in.
Can anyone offer any ideas on how to make Spotlight work for me, instead of against me?
Thanks in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

same problem here. the only answer i can find is....spotlight buh-lows. does anyone know if we can just revert to ye olden way of searching? simple things like: searching actually find the stuff you're searching for. and: list of items found arrangeable by date/alphabetically (just like any normal window in osx). also, is hitting apple-f essentially just bringing up spotlight in its own window, or does this search function differ at all? sorry to hijack the thread, but we suffer from the same problems. thank you!

No Video with files that are made with Blackmagic 10bit

ok we have an employee that has Quicktime Pro (with recent updates) he needs to check some video files but sometimes it will not open and when it does no video will be show.
other different types of files open like apple prores and also files that have not been encoded.
is there an missing codec that he needs?
he is using windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks for getting back to me, Andy. I followed your suggestion, but, with respect to the clips already incorporated in the cut, I got still got the same message, "No items have files that are applicable to this operation." BTW all of the clips used in the cut and not used have red diagonal lines through them indicating they are not connected to the media, which, as I wrote before, was corrupted irrevokably when my previous ext HD crashed. These media files were moved to new ext HD.
Any other suggestions?

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom?

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom? Items such as pdf files, word documents, etc. How should I connect them to each other so I can find both the photo and the related data?

Lightroom itself will not help you with pdf, word, etc.
However, there is a plugin you can use called AnyFile which will allow you to manage these documents in Lightroom (by assigning keywords and other metadata) so that you can search for all documents (photos, pdf, word, music, powerpoint, etc.) with given metadata.
Because you do this via metadata, it doesn't matter where you put these files. Put them anywhere you want.

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
