OS X Mavericks :: Smart Folders - Unable To Filter Files Using Document Container

Aug 22, 2014

I'm trying to create a Smart Folder (OSX Mavericks) that selects files contained in a specific folder.

If I add a filter as "Document container" with any operator (starts with, contains, is, etc.) the search results is 0 files.

OS X :: Unable To Access Folders / Folders Are Locked After Transferring Files From External Hd

Aug 28, 2009

I bought a Seagate Free Agent Go Flex External drive. I transferred all my files from my previous external HD. When I went to access my folders on my external HD, the folders are all locked, with Sharing and Permission section in the Information "Everyone: Read" only! I can't change any of the information or move things! All of them are locked and "read only." I know how to change it, but only manually, individually. I have several hundreds of folders and I don't want to manually change all of them to "Read & Write." Is their a way to let me re-set the folders to "Read & Write" easily??

OS X Mavericks :: Files And Folders Disappearing?

Jun 4, 2014

I have a Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3/Server 3.1.2 and a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.9.1.  Recently I have noticed that files I create on the laptop are being automatically deleted.  I have literally watched them disappear while I watch.  The entire folder contents seem to be stuck at a point in time about 8 days ago.  If I restore a file or subfolder from the trash, it disappears again within a few minutes. 

The account in question is a mobile account.  I have set HomeSync to sync manually, so I don't think that is the problem.  There are no other folder sync (rsync, etc.) daemons running that I am aware of.  TimeMachine is set up on the laptop but the remote disk is full and I need to start a new back up set (or get a bigger disk.)

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Software :: Automatically Change All The Quotation Marks In The Document To The Smart Quotes?

Jun 15, 2009

Is there any way to automatically change all the quotation marks in the document to the smart quotes? Or am I going to have to go through and manually change all of them? I've tried adjusting the proofreading settings to use smart quotes then proofing the document, but it's not correcting the quotation marks.

OS X Mavericks :: Cannot Move Files To Different Folders On MacBook Pro

Sep 8, 2014

A few days ago, I started being unable to move files from one folder to another in Finder or on my Desktop, using a drag and drop motion. I can move the files if I copy and paste them from one folder to the next, but that is incredibly laborious. I have not changed any of my user settings lately, so why this is happening all of a sudden.  

I am currently using OS x 10.9.4.

OS X :: Unable To Delete Files/folders

Mar 15, 2009

I have used my ipod to copy some files and folders from my Windows PC over to my mac. However, now when I go into my iPod and I want to delete it off the HD of my iPod, it asks for my password, the details say something about "com.apple.desktop", or something along those lines. I put in my password, it accepts the password. However, the folders and files on my ipod are not deleted after asking for my password. I try to delete again, and it does the same process all over again. Each time, not deleting these files and folders.

OS X Mavericks :: (10.9.2) Does Apple Mail Filter Identical Emails?

Aug 21, 2014

I have a curious question:  Does Apple Mail filter identical mails? 

More precisely, I am expecting a number of mails that are identical, except they arrive from different mailing lists. 

However, I can only see one of them. 

So, I was wondering whether Apple mail has some "intelligence" built in that would filter out the others.

OS X :: Use Smart Folders To Search For Images Within A Certain Folder?

Aug 27, 2010

I can't figure this out. I'm trying to use smart folders to search for images within a certain folder and the sub-folders it contains.

The problem is, I can't figure out how to limit the search locations. The only options it provides are to search "this mac" or "(username)".

I've tried to use 'location' (set to match the folder name), but this brings up zero results.

Some instructions found by googling said to first use spotlight to select the folder I'd like to confine the search to before making the smart folders, but this doesn't work either.

OS X Mavericks :: All Files And Folders Disappeared From Computer After Auto Sleep

Aug 29, 2014

I was working on curriculum changes for an online ecollege course.  Stepped away for dinner and left machine on (MacBook Pro, running  OSX 10.9.4). Have done this frequently and the light show screen saver appears, so I tap it to give my password and it returns to where I left off. But, last night, I returned and the connection to the college/university server had been cut and now Safari is taking me back through security and cookie changes I already made.  When I tried to shut down the system under the Apple menu, I got an error box indicting that if I shut down all my files would be deleted.  When I tried again, it informed me that I was logged in as a guest user and shutting down would result in the permanent deletion of my files.  So, I let the damned thing run and it's still running because when I looked up, all folders and files had disappeared from my desktop -- even some of the applications (like Word) had also disappeared.  I want my files back and I want to shut this down safely.

OS X Mavericks :: Can't See Any Folders / Files For Games Downloaded Via Steam In Finder

Sep 6, 2014

I am operating an iMac with OS X 10.9.4. I have a glitch common to other Mac users in the game "War Thunder" as a result of a game update. The game maker has suggested a fix which requires going into the game folders and deleting the cache:

One potential fix for this issue is to clear (delete all files) from the following folder /Applications/ WarThunder Launcher.app/ Contents/ WarThunder. app/Contents/Resources/ game/cache"

However, when I go into finder the War Thunder launcher contents folder shows only the folders MacOS and Resources. Each contains one file. It does not show up in the Application Support folder even though the following string from the log suggests that the folders and files are all there; "  9.37 [D]  skipping identical / users/davidmcleod/library/application support/steam/steamapps/common/war thunder/warthunderlauncher.app/ contents/ warthunder.app/contents/ resources/game/ content/pkg_tanks/res/pkg_tanks_tanks/ " 

why I can't see the full list of folders or why they aren't actually there despite being able to play the game up until the glitch?

OS X :: Unable To Print From Laptop / Postpdf Filter Error Message

I have an HP Photosmart printer connected, via USB, to a PowerPC Mac. The Mac has Bonjour on it and it acts as a print server to a Mac laptop and a Dell laptop. Until recently, everything was working fine. Now, however, when I try to print from the Dell laptop, I get a pstopdffilter error message. I can still print from the Mac laptop. Any thoughts?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Sort By File Size In Smart Folders?

Feb 18, 2012

The Apple info says use pop-up menus to select search criteria, but where is that? I wish to have the folder show all documents bigger than a certain size (ie. video) appear in the folder. My next question, is can I then drag to the Trash from that folder and know that they're deleted from their original location. I assume appearing in a smart folder is like an alias, its not reall copied to this new location.

OS X :: Unable To Open The Files / Link To ITunes,iPhoto, Folders Lost

May 5, 2009

After opening Mac HD folder, made the mistake of attempting to change name next to house icon (Home? perhaps) along left spine (spine that includes 'Desktop' 'Documents' 'Applications' etc.). The computer started to run as if adjusting to the name change. From that point on, iphoto/tunes/aperture starting opening as if it was the first time asking for set-up preferences.

No photos/music can be found in the folders. I can still see my folders on the external hard drive that the tunes/photo are on, but they will not open when I open the programs. Any suggestions on fixing the links? I tried in vain to change the name back. The error message says that the previous name is already taken.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Smart Folder Doesn't Remember Folders To Search

Mar 13, 2012

I've made a Smart Folder to have one place to look for any bills I've paid in the last 40 days, with the following parameters: 

- Search within a folder within my Home folder called "Accounts & Services"

- Name begins with "PD 2" (all my paid bills are labeled like "PD 2012-02-01 AT&T," for example)

- Last modified date is within last 40 days

The folder worked when I created it, and whenever I opened it for a day or so afterwards. 

But a month later when I open the Smart Folder, the latest bills aren't there. 

When I "Show Search Criteria," I see the "Search within" has been changed to a circular reference — it SEARCHES WITHIN THE SMART FOLDER ITSELF! 

The practical upshot of which is that it finds only the files that were found at the time the Smart Folder was created, and does not find anything newer because it's looking in the wrong place. 

I'm hoping someone has a remedy for this, but I don't have high hopes considering the "Mac Quick Tips" podcasts from 2009 in which Smart Folders are demonstrated show this problem in the demo without realizing it.
