Why "research" from finder can't find all the documents imported by Migration Assistant?

I can't find the documents I imported with Migration Assistant (after a backup) using the Finder's research bar! It only shows the documents I've already opened once. Do I really have to browse all my folders every time to find a single file?

I have/had the same problem, and SirPatrick's frustration is not hyperbolous.
I produce, perform, and DJ music, and I use my Macs (3 of them) instead of a PC because of Finder.
That being said, I just tried restarting, and that seemed to fix the problem. And the relaunch of Finder (the alt-click method) didn't work, btw. So is restarting periodically the answer? Thanks a lot, anyone.

    I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6.  That's the latest version.
    Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them.  And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore.  Sorry about this.

  • Can we link all the documents for a particular requirements document

    Hi,
            As of now, In Solution Manager we can able to find the document only if we know the document name or any of other details. Can we do in such a manner, If we have requirements document and can we link all related documents (Functional Spec, Technical Spec, Code Review, Test Documents) to the requirements document. If we find the requirement document, we should be able to see all related documents for that specific requirement.
         Can we do like this? Is is possible to go in this way. This is my client requirement can anybody help me to achive this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sreekala Rapuru.

    Hi Sreekala,
    In the implementation area, for the documents in your projects (SOLAR01/SOLAR02) you are able to create these links in the attributes of each document. You just have to navigate through the structure of your project in the solar01/02 transactions. Select the row of the document and click in the button attributes. There you'll see a tab named "Links". In this tab you can create such links.
    Kind regards,
    Fabricius

    Hi There,
    I have recently migrated my SharePoint 2007 portal to SP2010, However, to my surprise  i have noticed all the documents in different document libraries are having 'Approval status' as 'On going' status which suppose to be 'Approved' status.
    I mean, before migration all the documents status was 'Approved' and after migration it is showing as 'on going'.
    This is absolutely incorrect, can someone help in this.
    How can i retain all the documents status as 'Approved'

  • Finder can not  find and display certain files. Why? Any fix,please?

    I've discovered to my surprise that Finder can not  find and display certain files. Computer is Mac book OS X (10.6.8)
    No matter what Finder settings I use, there are files which it can not detect and display.
    Here are just some examples of files sitting in the HD but Finder can not display them:
    Located in  preference panes :
    fibre channel 1.7
    Located in :    /Library/StartupItems/BRESINKx86Monitoring
    BRESINKx86Monitoring
    FxLicenseManager
    Located in    /Library/StartupItems/FxLicenseManager
    EAP8021X
    Located in    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EAP8021X.framework
    The questions:
    What to make of this inability of Finder to ,well, find? (again - I tried all possible settings of Finder!)
    Is there any way to fix it?
    Thanks for any competent suggestion!

    Well, guys,
    Interesting suggestions but the problem remains -Finder (aka Spotlight) is not capable to find certain files.Period.
    I consider it as a fault of the system because in comparison, a search facility of a plain Windows based machine is capable to dig out and display any file, no matter now deeply hidden...
    As far as the suggestion above by softwater  goes , well, I've used the additional foptions  extensively and nothing produced the result needed -that's why I created this discussion.
    If someone still believes that using Finder with all its options is good enough, here is a test for you to perform on your own Mac:
    -Open  /Library/StartupItems/ and have a look inside - most likely you have a bunch of items. Write down the names of one or two of them. For this test I've chosen
    FxLicenseManager  located in    /Library/StartupItems/. You can use any file you want grom this location...
    - Then go to  Finder and set it to display everything in Library of the HD. Remember - for this test you pretend you don't know any file name in this folders.
    If the Finder works properly it shall display  folders  of Library >Startup items with all stuff inside, including the FxLicenseManager file I used for this test.
    Finder displayed nothing. It is obvious that for Finder, certain locations are off limits. That's why I consider Finder as a faulty.
    Of course if someone can set the Finder's  options to do the above search and succeed, I'll be glad to try ...:-)
    At this point, what I gather from this discussion is that :
    1. Finder (Spotlight) feature is not to be trusted,despite number of fancy but rather useless options.
    2. If you need to really find everything usually not displayed by Finder you better get real  searching software.

  • Where can I find a guide to all the options and settings available via the "about:" pseudo-URL? (Using FF 3.6.8)

    When I last used Firefox support, several years ago, I saw mention of a long list of options and settings available, using a kind of local URL, beginning with "about:". I can't find it now. The text "forums" that I saw then seem to have disappeared and been replaced by support for dummies who might be frightened if they saw a page containing more than just a tiny amount of information.
    The question is: where can I find this guide, listing all the available options and settings so that I can make my own decisions?

    I must have forgotten; it wasn't exactly FF support, but Mozillazine. '''Thank you for the pointer'''. The "long list" I was thinking of was in fact about:config, which is pointed to by that page.
    Given all that, I think it should be easier to find Mozillazine from the FireFox support pages.

    Where is the bookmarks stored?
    I Install the Firefox once again since I upgrade my computer.
    And I try to move the bookmarks from the old computer to the new one.
    But I can't find anyone of them.
    Is there any folder just like "favourite" to store the html file?
    I really want to find out the bookmarks because actually i can't remember all the website that are important to me~ URGENT!!!~THANKS~

    You can move file named places.sqlite from your old profile to the new one. It contains bookmarks and browsing history.
    Here's a knowledge base article about it: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
    If you don't care about saving your current bookmarks, you can skip creating new profile (Firefox does it by itself at first run anyway).
    I'd might suggest you to install addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410/|Xmarks Bookmark and Password Sync]. It is a free web service which synchronizes bookmarks and (optionally) passwords with central server, and then to other computers, if you installed it on more. You may treat is as a backup too.

  • Hi, I have the new mac, and I cant find how to download all the audiobooks I've purchased, I've gone to purchased, but they are no where to be seen,m can anyone help. Robert

    Hi, I have the new mac, and I cant find how to download all the audiobooks I've purchased? I've gone to purchased, but they are no where to be seen,m can anyone help. Robert

    You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.  The audiobook industry does not allow this.
    As always have been the case, you should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Is there a way to dial a contact by just typing its name in the keypad....as one can do in all the blackberry and android dialers...it is quite a job first to find the contact and then dial..

    Is there a way to dial a contact by just typing its name in the keypad....as one can do in all the blackberry and android dialers...it is quite a job first to find the contact and then dial..

    People - you critisize something you've no idea about! Smart dialing (also called T9) is NOT about text input for God's sake...it's about dialing a contact in a really quick and simple way just by clicking on one of 10 dial buttons (much bigger and easier to be tapped btw especially on the move) and the phone finds all the contacts matching typed combination
    For example I want to dial contact MLADD - I then tap on 6,5,2,3,3 and the phone searches for contacts matching all the combinations hidden on these numbers.
    Another example: see Apple's website containing contact line number specified in 2 ways: (800) MY-IPHONE (800-694-7466)
    Do you get my point now?
    I've used at least 6 different phones in my life so far and went through most of well known platforms including Symbian, Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone and now iOS. I'm very sure there is no better and faster way to quickly and easily dial somebody but by using a smart dial. Dialing somebody this way takes 2 seconds while dialing using tapping on contacts field, then typing a word using keyboard (assuming you click on a right button when on the move) takes a while longer and is frustrating.
    It's just a matter of a wider perspective when looking at this problem. If you would use it at least once - you would demand it as well.
    For people liking tapping everywhere to perform basic actions - let it be as it is, but why not to improve something by adding an additional option in setting and enable SmartDial?

    Hi,
    FieldPoint Explorer is no longer used to configure FieldPoint systems. However, I do not think that the configuring your system in FieldPoint Explorer is causing the error.
    FieldPoint systems are now setup in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).  Information on setting up FieldPoint systems in MAX can be found in the MAX help under: Installed Products>> FieldPoint. Also, I recommend upgrading to the latest FieldPoint driver and version of MAX.  The FieldPoint VI's will be slightly different when you upgrade, so there is a good chance that this will eliminate the error.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • I have a big problem, I don't know what I touched but when I open up my iTunes I can't see all the icons. The only icons showing are "podcast, iTunes U and Downloads" so in other words I can't find the movies, music etc. Which means I can't buy/rent!
