Where has sort by date modified gone in search results?

I'm in Lion. Where has the 'sort by date modified' gone in search results? If I search for all After Effects files on my Mac. Lion gives me a list unsorted of hundreds. Date modified header not clickable to sort. Adding a search term 'date modified' will not sort the column by date modified. Dumb.
Spotlight may be a powerfull search engine but it doesn't do the simplest thing you want it to intuitively. Simple search has been messed up for years. If the genus in Spotlight doesn't guess the file you are magically thinking you are screwed.
Find in OS9 was one of the things that made the Mac so much better than the PC. It was simple and you could find your file in a second. The PC guy would still be searching after 10 minutes.
Why can't simple search still be an option?

The answer is Forklift. On sale now in the App store for $5. Also lets you sync folders and more but has a simple search that works.
Why pay? You can just open a finder window, type in your search and click on the little wheel in the toolbar that lists these options under 'arrange by'. Or customise your toolbar to add the default icon that does this. One less third-party program to give you potential problems, also.

Where has my airport utility window gone ? when I double click on the icon all I get is an image of a globe and a base station with no options to make changes in my airport extreme.

Where has my airport utility window gone? When I double click on the airport utility icon all I get is a picture of a globe and a base station with no further options available to modify my airport extreme.

Sorry, you lost me on that last post.
Let's start over again.
Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
Are you asked for a password at this point? If yes, enter the base station or device password that you used when you originally set up the AirPort router. Depending when you did this originally, you might have been given an option to use the same password as the wireless network. If you were not, then you have a separate password for the base station.
You need that password to be able to access the settings for the AirPort router in AirPort Utility.
If you see a window listing basic information, click Edit in the upper right corner of the window.
If you are asked for a password, you must enter the device password or base station password that you established when you first set up the AirPort router as explained above.
If you forgot the password, a Soft Reset will allow you to go in and reset the base station password. Might be a good idea to write down that password.
If you are still stuck, then the only option that you have at this point is to perform a Hard Reset to return the settings to factory defaults and then set up the AirPort router again.
If you prefer, you can also do a Factory Default Reset. It's the same as a Hard Reset except for the timing of holding in the reset button.

Re: iTunes 11 removed Display duplicates option Dec 2, 2012 1:41 AM (in response to mdnolton2)
Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
Enjoy.

Where has the artwork side pane gone from itunes11??? Bring it back!!!!

Apple. Where has the artwork side pane gone??? Bring it back!!!

Rather odd
In both browsing and edit mode I can go View -> Thumbnails -> Show
If you do not have this option Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Where has my "Battery Low" warning gone?

Where has my "Battery Low" warning gone?
When it got below 5% (I think) I used to get a warning come up. Now for about last 2 or 3 weeks it just shuts down with no warning. Plus when I attach the power lead & switch on the battery status says it is at 27%.
My MacBookPro2,2 is a 2006 unit from USA, running on
OS X ver. 10.6.8
Processor 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
We had a genuine battery fitted by Apple about 9mths ago.
Any Help will be appreciated
Tony

Reset the SMC. I'm pretty sure that model has a removeable battery, so you want this method:
Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
You shouldn't be running the battery down that low on a regular basis though. It'll shorten the life of the battery.

HT4221 I really want my Apple TV, iPad and iPhone to sort them in date taken like in iPhoto on my iMac. How do I do that? Sorting on date modified seems so stupid to me, why would anyone need this? Date taken gives a timeline in your event.

The unix commands you need are:
GetFileInfo
SetFileInfo
and maybe find
for cryptic details use the man command
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
man SetFileInfo
You may use the SetFileInfo command to set the file type & the program which will open the file.
# This little gem will do a get info on all files in a directory.
mac $ ls | xargs -I {} GetFileInfo "{}"

Sort by date modified

I'm trying to create a smart album containing all the pictures I modified let's say within the last 3 months. Even though there is a dedicated exif field for this information there seems to be no option to include this as a search parameter. correct me if I'm wrong.
But there has to be a work around.
Help appreciated.

Afaik, the "Last Modified Date" is not available in either the Filter HUD or the Smart Settings HUD.
What I do is create a Smart Album showing all Images, sorted on "Last Modified Date", descending. I store this Smart Album near the top of my Library Inspector, and select it when I want to review or select from recently modified Images.
Here is a screenshot showing what I mean:
To sort by "Last Modified Date", include it in your "List View - Expanded" Metadata Overlay, click that header while in List view, and then change to Grid view.
I recommend that all users set up "List View - Expanded" to include all metadata fields available.

Spotlight Search Results - Sort by Date Modified

Running 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro.
Is there a way to sort Spotlight search results by date modified?
Am I missing something really basic or is Apple kinda going insane?
I also don't like that I can't search my files by filename without also allowing Spotlight to index the contents of my hard drive. I don't want my content indexed.
Why does Apple use AES encryption for FileVault? It has an NSA backdoor...
And while I'm at it, I can't network with my PB180 running System 7.5.5 anymore (OSX 10.2 let me).
GRRR! I hate when progress gets senile.

Rants will get you nowhere on these forums except banned.
If you want to report this to Apple, send Feedback and send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Where has the "MORE PRINTERS" option gone???

I am trying to add a Canon printer that previously worked under Snow Leopard 10.6 however under Lion 10.7 it doesn't
The "More Printers" option in add a printer appears to have vanished....where has it gone???
"More Printers" used to be where the red oval is marked.

Canon Australia has posted the CAPT v3.36 driver for Lion. As stated on this page, be sure to read the document "Registering_OS_X_Lion_en-uk_R.pdf" included with the driver download.
I have loaded it on mine and it seems to be running OK so far )

Where has "Save all Bookmarks" option gone in fx4?

I've installed Firefox 4 and am totally unhappy with the experience:
1) Where has the "Save all Tabs" option gone from Bookmarks drop down menu? I have no way to save a current work session; fail.
2) In an effort to create more screen space, you have made the browser harder to use. For example, how do I now get the "about" option to find out what version browser I'm using. Please don't say to enter something in the address bar - for the simple reason that this is beyond the casual user!
Did you get non-devs to even test this?

1/ Right-click on a tab for the option to bookmark all tabs, or use keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+D
2/ Click the Firefox button, then in the Help sub-menu select "About Firefox"

Where has the calendar list view gone?

Where has the list view gone from the calendar in iOS 7 iPhone?
The current view is awful and verges on unusable.

I was also kind of annoyed that they got rid of list view. You now have to click the magnifying glass at the top and it will give you the list view. There should be a dedicated button for the list view but hopefully they will change this in a future update.
