Where is my file?

Started a spread sheet in Numbers  a few days ago.  Opened it again tody by finding it on the list of recent docments, updated, closed. Just to check, tried to find it in Finder  - can't. File name does not show up in spotlight.
If I open several more spreadsheets this one will get bumped off the list of recent documents, and them I am stuck.
Help! How do I find this file? Where is it?

Open it again and command-click its name in the title bar.

  • "Always ask me where to save files" does not work.

    Summary: The "Always ask me where to save files" feature does not work. No dialog box comes up, apparently because the browser is stuck on a bad old read-only lastDir location, in a prefs.js file that I can't edit.
    Details:
    I am using Firefox 30.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8. My Mac has a both a read/write Mac partition that I use most of the time, and a bootcamp Windows partition drive ("C"), which I can read but not write to.
    At some point I accidentally tried to download a file from a site, using Firefox, to the read-only Windows C drive. Ever since that time, I have not been able to download any files from Firefox, except to the firefox/downloads folder. This is inconvenient. If, in preferences, I try to set downloads to ""Always ask me where to save files", the dialog box does not come up when I actually try to save files. This problem does not apply to saving photos by right-clicking them.
    If I open, in text-edit, mozilla/firefox/profiles/t4vockvue.default/prefs.js, which was saved yesterday, I can see a problematic line. It reads:
    user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc]");
    C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc] being the read-only windows directory.
    This prefs.js is apparently not an editable file.
    I tried to fix this by opening a browser tab in Firefox and opening about:config. The editable browser.download.lastDir does NOT show the same "lastDir"....it shows some directory that I successfully downloaded photos to, by right-clicking on a photo.
    How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks.

    To confirm which profile folder is active when you are running Firefox, it is easiest to open it from inside Firefox as follows:
    Sometimes the file that stores the customizations becomes corrupted and fails to update properly at the end of your session. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button (Windows: "Show Folder" button).
    Hopefully you are using a separate profile folder on each OS.

  • I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

    I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

    Did you ever figure out what happened?
    I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
    Thanks.

  • I deleted my download folder and now I can't download anything. I can't select the folder to "save file to" and when I select "ask me where to save files" I still can't download. it says your file will start downloading, but then it doesn't. Help!!

    I deleted the folder that saves everything that is downloaded from Firefox. After that I can't download anymore. I've tried clearing my download history, reset the download folder, reset the download action by renaming the mimetype.rdfs file and it's still not working. I've tried to choose a different download folder but it doesn't let me select any folder at all. If I select "ask me where to save files" and then try and download something, the download doesn't start after I select save to. The only time it does actually download is when I select "open with...windows mediaplayer" when downloading then the download will start. Please help. Thank you.

    You broke your phone by getting it wet.  Nothing more to say.  Bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty exchange or buy a new phone.  There's really nothing else we users here can help you with.

  • How can I find out where the Library files currently used by iTunes are located?

    I have had a bit of a nightmare sorting out my iTunes files so I have various versions of Library files all over the place. How can I tell where the Library file that iTunes is currently using is located? In Preferences I can see the Library "Name", but I don't think that is much help. Preferences also shows where my i-Tunes media folder is but not where the Library files are.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    J

    Ah, I was assuming you would search in Finder and display some details. All alternative approach is to Option start iTunes and click the Choose option. It should show a file selection box targeted at the folder of the currently active library.

  • "Save as" dialog box doesn't come up, even though I have "Always ask me where to save files" selected (email attachments)

    Recently, the "save as" dialog box quit appearing when I attempt to download email attachments. I have the "always ask me where to save files" box checked in the tools/options/general/downloads area. The box still appears when I use Chrome, but not when I use Firefox.

  • Where is the File sharing in Itunes window

    Normally set in iTunes->Preferences->Sharing. However, with the paucity of details, such as computer, OS,  iTunes version, and what you're trying to do, just a WAG.

  • Where to find file AForm32.api mentioned in Acrobat SDK?

    Hello everyone,
    A paragraph under the following path in Acrobat SDK
    "Acrobat Interapplication Communication > Interapplication Communication API Reference > Acrobat Forms Plug-In > Forms plug-in OLE automation"
    suggests to place the AForm32.api file in the Acrobat's plug-ins folder:
    Quote:
    Registration in the Windows registry (which is different from the class object registration described above) happens every time Acrobat loads the plug-in. Therefore, you must run Acrobat at least once with the AForm32.api file in the plug-ins folder before its type library can be found for object browsing within the Microsoft Visual Studio environment. This is also necessary in order to allow early binding. Declare the program variables as objects of the corresponding classes in AFORMAUTLib, and not simply as Object.
    Question:
    Does anybody know where can I get the mentioned file AForm32.api ?
    Thank you.
    surotkin.

    AForm32 is now AcroForm – it's the same thing.
    However, I don't believe that we expose the COM APIs in the Standard edition – only in the Professional edition.

  • Where put the files in Mac .app projector bundle?

    I just read a technote in the knowledgebase on considerations for creating a Mac projector bundle. For OSX, the note seemed to suggest that you should place them in the Contents folder.  The example they give has the executable in the MacOS and a file called example,dir in the Contents folder. I am trying to test a bundle I created in Windows Dir 11.5 on a PowerBook running Mac OSX 10.5.  My executable called launcher was automatically bundled into the .app/Contents/MacOS folder   Then I copied my dcrs into the Contents folder, the first of which menu.dcr is the first one the launcher goes to, but can't find it.  I tried placing the content in the same folder as the executable first, but that didn't work so I read the technote.  Now placing them in the Contents folder does not work either.  That technote seems a bit old so I am wondering where the app files go now and if the launcher can use a gotoNetMovie "menu.dcr" to find the first file of the app?  Everything works in Windows, but every single app I have tried to convert to Mac has required major adjustments so I expect the same here?

    Thanks Rob,
    I actually found that thread last night while looking for a solution from someone - I saw it on the right side of my question listed as - More like this, but have been waiting for one of my studnets to tell me if the test file I placed on the web worked or not. My PowerMac G4 can't handle these 11.5 .apps without crashing on sound and fileio etc etc. You also have to be careful not to forget to add the xtras to this new starter movie or script errors will occur.
    It is really amazing that the placement of files in a bundle was changed in D11 and Adobe did not include this in their documentation or in the help file. In MX 2004, linked files would logically go in the same folder as the executable /Content/MacOS.  Now the bundle has no idea where the linked files are and you have to create this stub movie to tell Director where to search. Cross platform application development is still a very important part of Director development and so this change should be documented and there should be a chapter in the Using Director explaining that creating a Mac .app from your Windows project will likely not work without a lot of tweaking of paths, fonts, sounds, net commands, fileio, etc. etc.  You should also be able to type ".app" or "bundle" into the help search system and get something other than topic not found.
    I will give you credit for your reply though - thank you!

  • Execute listcube in background - where is the file stored on app server

    Hi,
    I want to execute listcube in background.
    to execute in background, the only output option available is Store in file (appl server).
    My question is where is this file stored.
    there is no information in the job log nor is there any spool.
    Also, can I determine myself where is this output file written.

    I have a couple of questions that could lead to an answer to your question...
    Does your BW environment have one or more application servers, in addition to the Database Central Instance (DBCI)? If so, do you use logon groups for SAP Logon so that the logon loads are balanced?
    I'm asking these questions because if you have a multiple application server environment and logon balancing, you may not be logging onto the same server every time that you're executing LISTCUBE and it will save to the directory path of the server you're logged onto.

  • Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac?

    Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac? I would like to restore several windows and tabs I had open earlier, but the restore previous session menu item does not appear to be available. I had to install and use an older version of Firefox (3.6) to access a website (Fedtraveler.com) that is not compatible with Firefox 6 and is seems to have cleared out the previous session information. I thought I would use Mac OSX Time machine feature to restore the Firefox file where this the previous session info is kept but I don't know what it is called nor how to find it.

    That is the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Where is the file of the funds of screen in Lion?

    Where is the file of the funds of screen in Lion?

    Two of the Screen Savers folders are initially empty, yes.
    If you want to use photographs for a screensaver, don't put them in those folders, though. Store them somewhere else, then click the "+" button on the screensaver preferences page and choose "Add folder of pictures".
    If you want to use them as backgrounds for desktops, again, don't use the Screen Savers folders, just put them in a new folder somewhere else, then juse use the "+" button on the Desktop preferences pane.
    If you're setting background images for Spaces (virtual desktops), set each one individually. Remember to close System Preferences once you're done with each desktop, then switch to the next one, right-click on the desktop, and click Change Desktop Background again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Where is the file saved after using "Share... DVD..."? Is it saved?

    Hi,
    I burned a 1 hour 41 minute HD program in FCPX using "Share" and "DVD..." It took about 17 hours to compress into a DVD. I made a few copies and quit the process. Now I want to make more copies, but I can't find where the completed file is saved. Was it saved at all? Or do I have to do this 17 hour compression all over again?
    Thanks, Duncan
