Why won't migrated files show up in search or in "all my files" despite being perfectly accessible?
I have just migrated all my files to a new macbook pro from an old macbook pro and ì have stumbled upon a minor issue: all my files are here, and work perfectly fine, but they won't show up if I do a search in finder or in "all my files" until I modify them (for a microsoft word document anyway). Music that I play will show up in search but not in "all my files" if is not included in the itunes folder in my music, but if it comes from the itunes folder it won't show up in either even if I play it. Is there an easy way to solve this problem? It's not too much of an issue but opening every file or attempting to make it show may be cumbersome.
Hey there Cabocel,
it sounds like you're not seeing all you files in your All My Files list as expected. It seems to me like you need to re-index your Spotlight. The following article will help you do that:
Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.
So there are no apps at all on your home screens? Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you don't see anything after that, take a look at all of your home screens and folders to see if something is hidden. It that doesn't work, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?
Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>
If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
Thanks. -
When trying to open an .xps file, I told Firefox to AUTOMATICALLY open all .xps files in the future using xpsviewer.exe & now it opens MANY, MANY tabs FAST and continually once I double click on .xps file! How do I stop this? How do I UNselect the AUTOMATIC feature? I do not see where to do this. Also, How DO I open a .xps file successfully in Firefox once this first problem is solved?

Help! My iPhone 4 was stolen, and it is in iOS 7, will the phone still be used? Or if they reformat it, my files would be deleted? I hope all my files will be deleted. Thanks for your help.
Hey ChrisJ4203, thanks for answering buddy , I still have a question.
I have a passcode for my iPhone, but I don't have the application Find my iPhone. Can I retrieve my photos, notes, reminders and all other data in my iPhone, I mean, if I bought another one, and connect it to my computer and go to iTunes then restore backup, cause I backup my iPhone last Oct 10, 2013, will I recover all the details in my iPhone that was stolen? It's like I'm still using my old iPhone's apps but with a new iPhone. Thanks.

IPad showing photos in about settings and using gb space despite being deleted
iPad showing photos in about settings and using gb space despite being deleted
And it is not Photo Stream photos that you are seeing reflected?
Try resetting your device(nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
If it isn't try syncing with iTunes on the computer you sync with, and uncheck "Sync Photos". See if that clears it up. If it does, then re-sync the photos that you want.

I had to format my internal disk drive on my MacBook Pro, and reload Mountain Lion 10.8.3. The startup assistant could not see my external disk drive with the Time Machine backup files. After many tries I told it to skip restoring the files and let it boot up. I was able to see my 1 TByte external drive and could see the Time Machine files using Finder.
I started the Migration Assistant and told it to migrate from Time Machine Files on an external drive. It also did not see the backup drive. The only drive icon it showed was the Macintosh HD (my internal drive).
Isn't it supposed to show you the drive you are moving the files from? I tried starting it and it looked like it was going to try to migrate the files from the internal drive (to where I don't know, back to itselfl?) Or do I just not understand. Is it seeing the external drive, without identifying it (in the Migration Asst,)?
Really looks like it is going to back up the internal HD with files that are on the internal HD and not from Time Machine.
I need to restore my files and have been told I need to do so using Migration Assistant and not Time Machine.
Help pleae and soon, need to get my taxes finished!
Thanks!I'm surprised that no one replied to this. But I learned a few things that may be helpful to some of you with this same question.
When you restore data from an external disk drive with Time Machine files on it. As you move through the dialog (in either System Startup or in the Migration Assistant) it will ask if you want to restore from an external disk with Time Machine files. If you select this option, it will show you only one Icon. You will expect to see your external disk drive listed as the source of the restore. The icon that is shown will look like your ilnternal drive and will be labeled something like Macintosh HD. That is not your internal drive, but is your backup drive. It is labeled the same as your internal disk drive and it is telling you that you have found the backup for your internal disk drive.
Would be nice if Apple would put a note of explanation about this as part of that dialog. I wasted several hours trying to make it work Finally I took a chance and selected the drive shown and it did restore my system. I ended up with two users since I did it from Migration Assistant. Had I done it from the System Startup, there would only be the one user. -

What is heppening when folder entitled "Recovered Files" show up in my trash daily for the last 3 days?
They are apparently recovered art thumbnails from my I web.Annoying, but nothing to worry about.
Sometimes the OS just tries to rescue files you've trashed.
It will happen almost every time if they were built-in templates (but the Application will replace them anyway)
Just empty the trash. -
Creative cloud is showing a red warning sign on all my files.
TL;DR: All my files have a red warning sign in the Cloud directory. What does it mean and how do I fix it?
Here's what happens:
I have two Finder windows open, one with the Cloud folder, and the other with files I want to synch.
I option+drag my files into the Cloud folder (to copy them, rather than relocate them. If a simply drag them, they disappear from their original location).
The computer churns for a while with a progress bar, then it's done.
A pop-up lets me know that "'N' files were unable to synch," but all of those files still show up in the Cloud directory.
All the folders and files in the cloud are marked with a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside.
I have tried dragging without holding option, and the result is the same. I've tried a big folder and a small one. No difference.
My specs:
2010 MBP
OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
8GB ram
2.66 GHz i7
CC version: 1.9.0.465
I'm assuming that red warning sign means my files did not actually synch to the Cloud. How can I fix that?

Why do my files not appear in Finder despite being otherwise accessible?
Last night I downloaded a bunch of html files via ftp so I could work on a site locally using MAMP.
The site appears in my web browser at localhost:8888/sitename/ and I can navigate round it without any problem but when I went to open the individual pages for editing in Sublime 2 the containing folder appears empty.
If I do Get info the dialogue shows 0Kb and no files. All folder permissions are normal.
After some hunting around I tried searching for the files in Finder only for them to appear in search results.
I can then see and browse the files in the finder search results - Get info on teh folder shows 35MB and the correct number of files.
But if I go back to browsing in Finder the folder shows empty again (intense head scratching).
In Terminal I can cd to the folder and see all of the files no problem.
Running Repair Disk permissions didn't seem to have any effect. I've also tried restarting with no effect.Launch the Terminal application.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then drag or copy into the Terminal window — do not type — and press the space bar:
ls -Oel
Now switch to the Finder and drag the problem folder into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return.
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If any personal information appears in the output, edit before posting, but don’t remove the context. -
How do you uninstall PP6 with win8.1 when it no longer shows up as a program listed with an uninstall options. PP worked until I turned off computer and restarted. All start up links are gone. I can see where Adobe PP6 files installed when I do a directory search but no .exe start files in those directories work. I can not uninstall PP6 and try again to re-install. How do I fix this problem?
Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change.
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot.
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll.
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's path to the files it needs?
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner. -
