Why can't I use smart folders/searches on ANY random folder?

I am trying to do what I thought was a simple operation with Smart Folders, but it turns out it isn't.
I want to use a smart folder on ANY folder, and not just one specific folder.
For instance, let's say I want to find out which files in any folder I happen to choose consists of audio files that are either mono or stereo. This is easy to do if I just set the smart folder to search the entire disk, or one, specfic folder, but for some reason I can't just use the smart folder on ANY random folder I happen to choose.
Is there any workaround? Or any other way to do this?

  • Why can't I use smart print after upgrading my Mozilla Firefox browser

    I am on Windows Vista and using 3.6.24 version of Mozilla Firefox.  When I upgraded to that version I got a brief message that HP Smart Printing was not compatible and then Smart Printing disappeared.  I cannot get into the program and the icon does not appear.  What can I do to use Smart Printing because I loved it?

  • Why can't I use AVG Safe Search in 6.0? Update notified me that new version was cause.

    Incompatibility was reason given.

    You misread that message. Firefox only disables Avast extensions that aren't compatible with Firefox 6.0, it doesn't disable the entire anti-virus or security application. See Avast support about the availability of an update for the Avast extensions for Firefox.

  • Hi, why can't I use the iMessage on my iPhone? I've already had my apple id email on it but it keeps saying "waiting for activation" always like that. No progress. Could anybody help me on this? Cheers

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

    Do you have another Apple ID by any chance? There are many, many discussions about this message that you are getting. Here is one where it seems that these users were able to resolve it.

  • Why can't i use command F in Notes?

    Hi all, i recently upgraded my to a newer macbook. i used to be able to use command f to search my notes. i'm now using 10.8.2  and for some reason i can't search/find. i hit 'command f' i get the bleep sound. when i look at Edit > Find > Find, the word find is greyed out.
    what should i do? i've tried googling and searching for a solution but the work 'notes' is too broad and so it brings up loads of irrelevant stuff.
    thanks
    shane

    Hi, thanks but no good. can you see how the 'command f' function is greyed out in the image below? why can't i use that 'Find' function? the box you've identified does a broad brush search to see if any of my notes contain a word but don't identify where the words are within the note. i have some notes with 10's of thousands of words.
    does anyone know how i can use the traditional 'Find' function?

  • Why can´t I use inport VI in win xp even when I have used userport aplication?

    why can´t I use inport VI in win xp even when I have used userport aplication for enabling port reading in this plattform?, I´m getting data from the parallel port in epp mode, my pc´s pararell is ok bcs I can read data in c++

    If you have an older LabVIEW (6.1 or earlier) you will need to exchange the in port and out port VIs that came with LabVIEW with different ones and install a DLL. The reason is documented here . This link (which is the first link returned when you search ni.com for "in port") explains basically that the OS won't let you until you have kernel level access. The devzone link at the bottom of the refered page will include all of the code that you need to install (VIs and DLL) to make it work.

  • Why can I not use my gmail account calendar on my MACbook Air?

    Why can I not use my gmail account calendar on my MAC, when I try to sync it, it says "secure connection cannot be established" Is there a setting I don't know about?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

  • Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.
