Where have my files gone?

I save some of my files on my external hard drive. For some reason it is saying it has saved the files to user/volumes/Hard Drive 13/documents. Where has this thirteen come from and how do I find it?
thanks in advance

Hi
This may be an issue I've seen where external hard drives dismount, but the mount point still exists in the system. When the hard drive is reconnected, a new mount point is created with a numerical suffix. I don't know exactly why it happens, but I can help point you to your files. There are two ways that should work:
1) In the Finder, use the Go - Go to Folder menu, and type in the following, exactly as shown (case and space sensitive)
/Volumes/Hard Drive 13
You should see a new Finder window with your documents folder (and any others that exist) displayed.
2) In Terminal, type the following (hit Return after each line)
cd "/Volumes/Hard Drive 13"
ls
You will see your files there. You might also want to check one level up, to see if there are any other phantom "Hard Drive X" volumes where other files could be:
cd /Volumes
ls

  • Where have open file gone?

    Hello!
    I've upgraded from SQL Developer version 1.1 to 1.5 yesterday.
    I wonder where the 'open file' menu entry in the context menu of a sql worksheet has gone. Currently I have to choose a database connection separately after the file is loaded.
    Second question: Scripts which call subscripts themselves like 'start anotherscript.sql' don't work anymore. Such a call ends up in an error message saying 'Unable to open file...' It seems to me that SQL Developer doesn't search for the subscript in the directory of the main script anymore. Do I have to use absolute paths now if I want to work with version 1.5???
    Kind regards

    This is a TERRIBLE design, I'm rolling back to 1.2. If I open a script that runs other scripts in the same directory, I cannont keep setting my preferences script directory over and over each time I go somewhere else on my hard drive.

  • Where have the charts gone in iTunes 11?

    In genereal I like iTunes 11 but I can't find any top 10 charts for music, movies, TV shows apps or books! Where have the charts gone?

    Thanks Poikkeus but I still can't find it! I assume you're referring to the music pulldown menu? There's no Charts selection in there. Maybe it's different for iTunes Australia?

  • Where have .psb file previews gone in PS CC?

    I posted this question on the CC forum and was promptly directed to here...
    I've just worked on a large 16 bit image file in PS CC and saved it as a 4Gb .psb file and now I no longer see a preview in the OS or Bridge, just a PS icon. This is a major issue for me as I work with large files all the time and therefore have to save layered psb files on a daily basis. The lack of previews now with PS CC is more than an inconvenience.
    With CS6 I have psb previews ok.
    Any ideas? I tested two systems running Snow Leopard and latest Mountain Lion to no avail. I also already tried removing all caches, ran utilities to clean and repair permissions etc.
    Is this a bug in PS CC?
    Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome but I will reluctantly be going back to CS6 until this is solved.
    Cheers

    What the heck do I care?  ??? !!
    ACR 8.7.1 is all I need, as a matter of fact so is ACR 7.4 !   On the other hand, newer versions of the OS already cannot cope with stuff that my system can, as illustrated in the two posts before yours.
    I haven't even bothered to investigate whether CC supports Lion or not. As we say in German, »das ist mir Wurst«.
    R_Kelly, I drive an 11-year-old minivan, I play on a violin made in 1743 and one made in 1922, The very large Thomas electronic organ in my living room is some 35 years old and it plays Bach and Buxtehude as gloriously as it did when it was new, I play both CDs and vinyl records on my two turntables and "HiFi" system from 1977, a lot of the furniture and stuff hanging on my walls are from the 18th and 19th centuries, etc.  In that sense I am a "conservative" because I tend to hang on to stuff for a long time.
    If I really ever need Photoshop CC, what's to keep me from subscribing when the time comes, if it ever does? As we say in Russian () «Когда мы доберемся до реки, мы засучить штаны», "When we get to the river, we'll roll up our pants."
    Happiness is not just keeping up with the whims and thuggery of the computer industry.

    PS.— "Photoshop Elements 13", really? ??? !!    I have no use for that emasculated piece of cr@p, besides, I think it's overpriced by at least $60.

  • Where have Site Profles gone

    I have MX and I am stunned that all my defined sites have
    gone from the right side panel.
    Are they normally stored in a separate data file ? If so what
    would it be and where would it be.
    If not, what could be the cause of this?
    Thanks

    guessing windows OS?
    dreamweaver stores the site definitions in the Registry file.
    If the registry file is "flaky" or if the box is unplugged
    before updates to
    the Registry file are done, the site definiton info can be
    wiped.
    there's a third party tool for windows that will let you make
    back up files
    of the site defintions.
    http://mm-exporter.joexx.de/
    you can also use the Export button in the define sites dialog
    box to create
    .ste files
    If only the site definitions where lost- no site files were
    lost. no actual
    site assets. Define the sites again, then back up the site
    definitions, and
    go on.
    > Yes I know it would be my end and don't blame MX at all,
    just would like to
    > know what I or my box may have done to cause this.

  • Ignorant question: Where have my photos gone?

    Apologies if you think this has been covered previously but similar queries haven't answered my ignorant but basic question. I can't find where my photos are saved to in iPhoto 08 - in 06, the file structure is 1) visible to me and 2) arranged chronologically. Please put me out of my misery and tell me where I can find the files!
    Cheers,
    Bobber

    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Want to visit with them? Find the Library icon in the Pictures Folder and right click on it. From the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder Window will open with the Library Exposed. It will look familiar.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    All of the above are a: Faster and b: Safer that rooting through the folders of the iPhoto Library.
    Regards

  • Where oh where have my projects gone?

    I am new to FCPX.  Started with a few projects to test it out, imported footage from external hard drives... Started working.  The next thing I knew I was putting together a video for work and after ejecting my hard drive and taking it with me... FCPX is a blank canvas again.  It's like I'm launching it for the first time. 
    I never purposefully set up capture scratch or project file save locations, but just started editing. I ejected the drives and now nada.
    I can't seem to find any of my workflow, the sequences or anything.  It prompted me to reimport media which I did on a few pieces of content thinking it might reconnect my project files, but alas... it did not work out.
    Any help reconnecting would be much appreciated. 

    I guess that's just it... I just opened FCP and all my projects were gone. 
    I had no problems opening/closing/opening when the portable drive was connected.  The issue came when I ejected the drive to take ot the office... when I came back, plugged it back in and opened FCPX, all the media was gone, the projects, events were not there. 
    It was like opening FCPX for the first time.  Thanks it... I'm used to working with FCP7 so I can't say I'm really 'versed' in the file architecture on this software.  I'm really confused about how simple it claims to be but yet this seems like the most 'simple issue that should not go this terribly wrong.
    I had at least 4 sequences totally done... all my editing, transitions, music, audio in/out/fade... all gone. 
    Do you know how I can reimport the project files to match up with the media which I have?

  • I must be stupid... Where have my playlists gone?

    Touch 2G... I went to a lot of trouble to create my playlists. They synched okay when loading the Touch. But now, when I touch Playlists, all I see is Genius and On-The-Go. Where is all my music? I can access it through the alphabetical lists of Artists, Songs and Albums, but my Playlists are nowhere.
    What am I missing?

    Ah! Okay. The Touch must have been recently synched to show the Playlists. That's very different to regular iPods I have owned when the playlist list is always available.
    Now I have another problem: it's regarding permanent extreme loudness. That's for another thread I think.

  • Oh where oh where have my calendars gone?

    I am running Calendar v6.0 (1648) on two different machines running 10.8.4.  For some reason, Calendar will not display my Gmail calendars on my rMBP no matter how I configure the CalDAV account...I have spent 8 hours on this problem, and even re-installed OSX to no avail.  Can someone **please** help me bring my google calendars back to the Calendar.app???  I am exhausted from searching and trying different things (cleaning out caches, deleting plist files, deleting/re-installing accounts, re-installing OSX...nothing seems to work ).
    I was shocked to see that on my brand new mac mini (the other machine running 10.8.4), I set up the google account exactly the same way and presto blammo my google calendars populated just fine. 
    There has got to be a corrupted preference file somewhere that I am missing
    I have tried these steps as well as these and even played with sync services troubleshooting on apple's site.
    I should mention that the OSX re-install was in place; so whatever is causing Calendar to biff was not fixed by the OS itself. 
    I'm completely puzzled and exhausted now...please let me know if I can provide any diagnostic data.  Console reports correct creation of the google account in Calendar.app, but my calendars still won't show up

    The account seems to add just fine...and 'Gmail' shows up in the sidebar (with show/hide as appropriate upon hover); however, none of the calendars actually load...Calendar remains a blank slate.  I verified the behavior on my "working" copy of ML, in which the calendars loaded almost instantly from Gmail's servers.
    Since last week, I have performed a bottom-up reinstall of OSX.  I know the Migration assistant is convenient when upgrading and/or moving machines, but my [corrupted] preferences had been migrated 3 times across OSX versions and new laptops (baseline: Snow Leopard).  I can only imagine that something was lost in translation.
    My new installation feels a lot snappier, and I believe I have even been freed of a puzzling anomaly that I also could never answer: Spotlight was always re-indexing Macintosh HD whenever I logged out/rebooted the new ML install...I use spotlight nearly exclusively for launching applications.  With the buggy migration settings, I always had to wait upon logging in...even  applications didn't show up in Spotlight's results.  Now, in the "bottom-up" re-install, that wait is over, and I can access applications through Spotlight almost instantly upon login (phew). 
    I had always wondered how many times I could actually "migrate" my data across system upgrades without losing efficiency.  In my case, that number appears to be 3.  Sure, re-installing everything is a bit tedious, but all of my labor-intensive efforts (read: applescript) translate easily with a 'sudo cp' command from an archived profile.  Needless to mention...the modern conveniences of iCloud and cloud-synching applications make things so much easier. 
    From this point forward, I actually have a Time Machine available for backups.  This, also, will probably speed up a bottom-up reinstall, should the need arise in the future.
    Let me know if anyone comes up with any further ideas...but from my point of view, the "damage" has already been rectified, and I'm on to greener pastures.  I still have the buggy [migrated] profile on a bootable disk if anyone wants to try solutions...

  • Where oh where have my pictures gone...

    Ohh where oh where can they be????,
    I am using a dolphin browser on my Iphone4, and whenever I google search an image, and click on it to "Save Image" (which is the only option that or "Cancel" ) the phone gives it a sequencal jpg. file name.. irrespective of whether or not I change the file name. I can not find the photo.. Its very frustrating.. Soo I figure they will be there when I die, right next to the pile of unmatched sox and spoons!!.. Where the heck to all the spoons go anywhere??

    Look in your Camera Roll.

  • Where have the photos gone?

    Following a recent upgrade my photos seem to have vanished - not a unique occurance it appears!
    I have read suggestions that I could reestablish links via iTunes. However, my itunes softwear homepage appears to also have lost the photo section (music, TV, books, podcasts, Apps etc are all avalilble but Photos are simply missing from the page). Any ideas about how I find the "photos" on the itune home page?
    thanks

    AGA-
    I would like to help clarify what is happening with Revel. Revel does not take files from your Mac or PC. The only files that moved are ones from Photoshop.com to Revel. Cloud - to - cloud. The only way they could disappear from your computer that I can think of is if you deleted them or you had Elements syncing to your Photoshop.com account and you deleted them from Photoshop.com before syncing.
    Emails were sent out to users explaining that Photoshop.com was about to be discontinued, and informing users that their files would be migrated to Revel unless they opted out. This was done as a courtesy so that users could have a means of saving all their photos (jpg) on the cloud for viewing and sharing without having to go to the effort of archiving and re-uploading. Additional  emails went out closer to the time. The opt out period has ended and we are in the transition period actively migrating photos to Revel. 
    If you had photos on Photoshop.com and their migration is complete (you would receive an email), then go to adoberevel.com on a a browser and login the same way you did in photoshop.com...with an adobe id(email) and password. Your files will either be in a library  called photoshop.com library or in one called <your first name>'s library.
    If you need more assistance, please let me know.

  • HT1277 Hi, any help will be appreciated. I use AOL for my email. I have probably getting on for 300 addresses but only 50 or so appear on my Ipad email facility......where have the others gone??

    Hi, any help will be appreciated. i use AOL for my email where I have about 300 addresses shown but when I use the 'mail' function on my Ipad only a small percentage of those addresses appear..why is that and how can I get my full address book loaded?

  • New Photos: Where have my Albums gone?

    Dear Forum,
    ive upgrade my iPhoto to Photos with my 40k photos but i dont see any Albums, just 40,000 photos in one big lump? am i missing something? i cant seem to see any definition on which photos are with which album?
    i have them all in albums from each event ive photographed from 2002 until now????

    Photos has no longer events - use the Moments, Years , Collections view. While viewing the "Photos" view, use the arrows to step between these view.
    ive upgrade my iPhoto to Photos with my 40k photos but i dont see any Albums, just 40,000 photos in one big lump?
    Have you revealed the sidebar?  The "View menu > Shor sidebar" or the keys ⌥⌘S.
    The Album section in the sidebar can be hidden. There is a hidden control to the right of the title "Albums"
    Your events will appear as albums in the folder "iPhoto Events" in the Albums section.
    But all smart albums, that used event names in the smart rule will be gone, since, there are no longer events in Photos. They have been replaced by Moments.

  • Where have my fonts gone?!

    I'm using keynote '07 but since installing Leopard something weird seems to have happened to my fonts. I'm sure that you usually have access to all the fonts (and so can change text on a slide to any font, regardless of the theme, right?) but now when i open the fonts pane there's only 3 or 4 fonts there. All the fonts are still in my main fontbook, so what do I need to do in order to get Keynote to recognise them?

    I tried using the Font Book - "Remove Duplicates" and made sure there are no more duplicate fonts installed. It DOES NOT appear to have fixed the font problem (the number of versions of the same class presentation are proliferating as I try to fix this before tomorrow).
    Additionally, the Font Book Duplicates fix DID NOT fix Keynote from crashing. The only thing that seems to be working is what another poster wrote on another thread - I am changing each and every font manually from Helvetica or Arial back to Gil Sans, Garamond or Futura - and that seems to be working so far (other than the 4 hours I've spent on getting slides back to where they were in July....)

  • 945P Neo - Where have my IDEs gone ????

    Hi all
    Have just bought a 945P Neo which I was really pleased about but when I set about installing the bits and pieces, I noticed that it only has 1 IDE connector ??
    The space where IDE 2 and 3 should be are vacant as are the 2 chips just above them.
    Can anyone explain why this is the case ? Have I somehow bought a scaled down or 'demo' version or something.  It's most unusual just to have the one IDE connector and as you can imagine I am now stuck for somewhere to connect my second DVD Rom drive.
    Can the IDE 2 and 3 ports be added easily and failing that, what is the maximum number of devices that can be connected to just the IDE 1 connector ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dallasourora and others,
    I am finding this problem to be more and more insidious.
    It was bad enough that the box says PLATINUM and we didnt get our IDE ports, but it also says that it supports SATA RAID. I have now found out for sure that it does not!
    The ICH7 Chip does not support RAID! Additionally it does not appear to support NCQ either. 
    It takes the ICH7R to get the raid function.
    I have spent hours and hours trying to install a RAID only to find this motherboard does not support it.
    This appears to be one of the worst motherboard purchases I have ever made. The advertising ploy that MSI is using here would be like putting a 12" monochrome monitor in a box labeled 42" Plasma display. I am appalled.
    I have written to MSI, but I am not holding my breath for a resolution. Looks like I'm out a few hundred bucks for nothing.
    I see we are not the only ones puzzled by the labeling on the box.
    Quote from: dadrabbit on 05-June-06, 21:05:45
    ow...your box says "945P Neo Platinum"??
    if it says then you got a platinum...i really don't know why "Neo" is written on the box since in MSI website the name for this MB is only "945P Platinum"
