Why is find file so different? I cannot find preferences easily
I was using Mac OS 10.4.11 and purchased a new computer with 10.6.2. I dowloaded a game and wanted to delete it. When I searched for files relating to the game all that popped up was the actual application and no other files relating to it. I had to manually go into preferences and then manually look through them to find all the files. In 10.4 I simply press command F and I get a list of all related files. Not so with 10.6. What am I doing wrong? Help please.
Thanks.
HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
The best way to remove all the components of an application is use AppDelete or AppZapper
Either one will do the job.

Why is jpeg file size different in CS 5 and Photoshop CC?
If I open a jpeg file in both CS5 and Photoshop CC, and then "save" the files, the file from CC is much smaller than the file from CS5.
The size and compression ratios are the same, but the file size is different. (It is about 1/2 the size).Bridge does not compress any files whatsoever. Bridge is not an image editor, it's nothing but a browser that hands the files to their respective applications. Bridge does not "open" or "save" files, it can't compress them in any shape or form.
What you are seeing is the difference between the opened, uncompressed file in RAM and the space the file occupies on disk once
Photoshop has saved and compressed it.
The Bridge cache has nothing to do with any of this. -
I use Lightroom 4 for organizing and processing my photo's on my Sony Vaio VPCF11C5E (Windows 7, 64bit). When I import (no presets applied) the jpg files of my canon 6d (camera setting sRGB) in Lightroom 4, the pictures are displayed differently (less colorful) then when displayed in f.e. the slideshow mode of Windows Photo Viewer or in Apple's Quicktime. Which settings do I need to change to display the photo's in Lightroom in the same way as in f.e. Apple's Quicktime?
If there's a mismatch from LR, that's likely due to the other application not being color managed which is what I suspect is the case with the version of Windows Photo Viewer. LR is correct.

Why do copied files show different file sizes than the original files?
When I copy files (to another drive, folder, etc.) some show the same file size as the original, but others don't.
I'm guessing this is not abnormal, but what causes it?
Thanks.Hi dymar,
Copying to another Drive is understandable, they may have a differentnumber of Blocks allocated per file, for insnce a one Byte file might take up 512 bytes, 1024 Bytes, etc, but a Get info should show the actual size of the file within that/those blocks.
If copying to another Format, like MS-DOS, Forks may be lost also.
There are ways to actually Compare the files...

Why does my file requiring ActiveX cant run in my Apple computer?
Why does my file requiring an ActiveX cannot run in my Apple computer?
Active X is chiefly a Windows > Internet Explorer browser based function and there is no Internet Explorer for OS X.
The only way you can run this Active X script is install Windows into Apple's BootCamp dual boot partition solution or by running Windows in a virtual machine program in OS X itself.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

Why the size of the tif file is different in photoshop workspace compare to the Preview in Finder?
1. Why the size of the tif file is different in photoshop's workspace compare to the Preview in Finder?
Please look at the screen captures.
Bottom left panel of Photoshop's workspace.
Finder's Preview.
2. I have an imac with 8gb ram, and assigned 6gb ram to photoshop use. But when I worked on a 24mb tif file, photoshop was lagging. And at the bottom left panel of Photoshop's workspace, the doc size is something/1gb. The tif file is only 24mb, why is it slow in photoshop? I have a lot of ram.
Let me know, please.Thank you MIchelPM for giving me a very detailed explanation.
So I understood why the photoshop doc size is bigger when working in photoshop.
Regarding to your questions:
1. How full is your Mac's hard drive?
Not even 30% full, I even have a 1TB backup hard drive connected.
2. How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
I usually only have photoshop or illustrator opened. Sometimes I ran 3-4 tif files at the same time, but when a big file (ex. 24mb tif) gets very slow, I closed all other files and programs, and "purged all" in photoshop, yet that 24mb tif file was still slow.
I checked photoshop's ram and cpu usage in the activity monitor. Rarely photoshop's cpu usage would hit 100. But when I worked with the 24mb tif file, it would used all the ram that I've allocated to photoshop.
But the myth is, my coworker who worked with the same file in CS4 with only 4gb ram in their imac don't have photoshop slowed down, when I have double the ram and CS6.
3. What year, screen size, CPU speed of your Mac?
I have 27" imac,
• 2.9GHz 2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB L3 cache,
• 1TB (7200-rpm) hard drive
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR5 memory
4. What version of OS X is your Mac using?
Mountain Lion with the latest updates.
5. What version of Photoshop are you using?
• Photoshop CS6 -
Use a preset, but encoded .mov file is different bit rate... why?
Hi,
I have a few 2mins sequences from FCP5.1.4 exported to compressor and choose the preset web download .H264 800Kbps.
In the Inspector it shows the file info as:-
File Extension: mov
Estimated file size: 7.42 MB
Audio Encoder
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
Video Encoder
Format: QT
Width: 480
Height: 270
Pixel aspect ratio: default
Crop: None
Frame rate: 23.976
Frame Controls: Off
Codec Type: H.264
Multi-pass: On, frame reorder: On
Pixel depth: 24
Spatial quality: 50
Min. Spatial quality: 50
Key frame interval: 150
Temporal quality: 50
Min. temporal quality: 50
Average data rate: 0.688 (Mbps)
Fast Start: on
but when it finishes encoding, the data rate is far less than what it was suppose to be?
now the fun starts... this hasn't happened to every sequence, some are perfect.
I can shorten this particular sequence in FCP to say 10seconds and quickly try the preset in compressor and everything is good, I then go back into FCP and undo the shortening to give me back my full length clip and export to compressor using the exact same preset and I'll not get the data rate I want... it shows no error either.... it looks like everything worked as the preset says but checking the info it hasn't.
Sorry for the long winded explaination but it's driving me crazy, been sat here over 4 hours, keep redoing everything but no luck.
Any help?
Could it be a bug in compressor I'm not aware of?
C.sorry, the above post has some text missing when I copied and pasted...
it should read as follows:-
*I choose a preset and the inspector reads:*
File Extension: mov
Estimated file size: *7.42 MB*
Audio Encoder
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
Video Encoder
Format: QT

*But the file that is created reads as follows:-*
Data Size: *2.13 MB*
Data Rate: *198.31 kbits/sec*
Duration: 00:01:30:54
Normal Size: 480 x 270 pixels
Anyone know why it's coming out different?
Thanks
C.

I have just clicked on my iTunes desktop icon and got the following message "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Why has this occurred when it working fine? Is it best to update iTunes to 10.2 to attempt to resolve? Initially I got the prompt Quicktime was out of date so I updated that successfully in all programs. I do not want to lose my iTunes library.
Sorted problem updated and reinsatlled and restarted computer.

Why do i keep getting the message 'Cannot connect to iTunes Store' when I have done every connection I can find? What does the error message (-1202) mean when I am on the iTunes site on my computer?
Hi Velvalee,
While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

the feature you are trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable. i cannot find Quick Time.msi file anywhere. so i cannot uninstall or re install quick time
any suggestions please??????Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -

I am on a trial version of InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6. Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?
Industry standard files such as JPEG are compatible with many brands/versions of programs
Proprietary files such as those created by InDesign are often not backwards compatible, due to new features in newer program versions
This is not unique to Adobe... MS Word DOCX files are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of MS Word -

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -

Found a better solution. The answer is given at the very bottom of this post.
I'm looking for $(Random), %(Date), %(Time), or some %(Value) that I can put in the "Generate Program Database File" entry.
Like "$(TargetDir)_%(CreateTime).pdb".
But the problem is, %(CreateTime), %(ModifiedTime), and %(AccessTime) has colons in them, making them useless when putting them into the filenames.
What other ways can I generate PDB files of different file names? Or, how do you modify %(CreateTime) so that I can remove the colons and just obtain the numeric values?Hi Tom_mail78101,
It seems that there is no built-in macro for renaming the PDB files randomly.
You could submit this feature request:

The Visual Studio product team is listening to user voice there. You can send your ideas/suggestions there and people can vote.
I agree with Viorel. The possible way to rename the PDB files is that you write your own script to rename the PDB file after building the project and put the script to Post-Build event in Build Event. As for whether this way can accomplish it, you can try
