OS X Mountain Lion :: Does Spotlight Search HTML Files?
Jun 29, 2014I have a folder full of HTML files I just imported to my MacBook about a week ago. They have been backed up by my Time Capsule. But when I search for keywords in the contents of them, they do not show up. The file names will show up, but none of the contents (which are mainly text). I have tried to force Spotlight to search only the folder that contains the files, but it does not seem to be searching the HTML files.Â
Are HTML file contents excluded from Spotlight searches? I seem to have a number of webpages that come in Spotlight for keyword searches that appear to be the result of searching the file contents. So is there a trick to this? Is there some way I can force Spotlight to index this folder? Just not sure why it seems to search the contents of some HTML files and not others.

OS X Mountain Lion :: Stop Password Request When Moving Items To Trash
Dec 4, 2014Initially, the trash container worked as expected: Items would go directly to the trash and stay there until I emptied it.Â
I don't believe I did anything to cause what it does now but I don't like it: If I move something to to trash, I am prompted to enter my password (which I really don't like) and no items are held in the trash (what I used to call the recycling bin--which I kind of liked having).Â
As for troubleshooting, I have changed the preference settings under "Finder" and nothing changes.

OS X Mountain Lion :: Finder Not Responding
Jun 2, 2014I've just got an iPhone 5S, upgrading from an iPhone 4. I used to manually sync/backup to iTunes, and did one last backup prior to switching which completed with no problems. I thought I'd mention this as this was the last activity before the issue occurred.Â
When using the finder to navigate/open folders, I get the spinning beach ball which just hangs. When forcing to relaunch the window states (finder not responding). I can still use applications and browse the web with no problems, however moving the cursor over the finder results in the beach ball. After relaunching the finder it seems ok until you perform a couple of operations then it hangs again. Â
I have ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions and also restarted etc but the same problem remains. Also deleted preferences (assuming I deleted the correct ones). If I login to another user account then everything seems to be fine, however logging back into the admin user account – same problem. I've noticed that if I turn WiFi off, it resolves the issue. Turning it back on brings back the problem.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: See Number Of Items In A Folder Shown In Finder?
Jun 29, 2012Is there a way to see the number of items in a folder shown in finder?
Seems to me that in earlier versions, if you had a folder with 100 items (e.g., photos) in a folder in a finder window, when you clicked on the folder, something like "100 Items" would appear at the bottom of the finder window. I don't see this now in Lion.

OS X :: User Folder Move Off SSD - Include Library?
Oct 30, 2010I know the prevailing opinion is to move the Users folder (i.e. all home folders) off an SSD boot drive and onto an HDD in order to increase available space and avoid thrashing the SSD. However, it occurs to me that by moving the users folder the Library folder is also moved (~/Library/). Doesn't this compromise the speed increase gained from having an SSD? The application will start quickly but then have to wait for the HDD in order to load preferences.

Apr 10, 2012I just installed Lion on a machine that I use daily. One of the routine things I do is connect to FTP servers and search their contents to then collect files and process them. I was unpleasantly surprised when I found that I was simply unable to search the FTP server, it simply doesn't bring back any results.Â
I tried on 2 other Lion Macs and both have the same symtoms, one of the other 2 macs is brand new out of the box (3 days old)Â I had to downgrade to Snow Leopard to return the machine to a useable state.Â
Is Apple aware of this issue, is there a workaround? I prefer to not install 3rd party FTP apps. In fact, I tried Transmit and it too would not search but I assure you that the host of FTP servers I login in to are just fine as any other PC or Mac (10.6 or inferior) work without any problem.Â
Has Apple changed something? PS the mac I tried it on was even cleanly installed, nothing but Apple SW and fully up-to-date.Â
OS X Mountain Lion :: Finder Not Opening After Downgrading It
Jun 26, 2014I have recently downgraded my OSX from 10.9 to 10.8.5. I downloaded Mountain Lion on another computer running 10.9, and I partitioned a hard drive to boot the software. I was able to run 10.8.5 fine, but finder never opens. When I click on finder, open trash, or open a folder on the desktop, finder becomes the current application, but nothing else happens.Â
I am running an early 2009 iMac with a 20 inch display.Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 DueMemory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 (originally 2 GB)Â What works:I can spotlight search any file or applicationI can open any file on my desktop and any application on my dockI can view files in file browsers (such as selecting an image to upload)Â What doesn't work:I can't open finder, trash, or any folders on the desktop.
Preview crashes when I try to open a file.Menu bar items in the dock display differently (see picture)  What I've tried:Creating a new account (still the same)Setting finder to assign to different desktops (doesn't change anything)Hiding and showing finder (no change)Repairing disk permissions in disk utility (nothing)Relaunching finder (nothing)executing killall dock; killall finder in terminal (nothing)booting the mac in safe mode (still doesn't work)deleting finder settings via terminal (no change) Also, when I booted up the mac, it said that the boot-up failed. However, it opened up 10.8.5. Other notes:All administrator accounts were changed to standard accounts.When I create a new desktop, it is labeled as DesktopNum.
OS X Mountain Lion :: Disc Encryption Within Finder
Jun 30, 2014When I try to use the disc encryption feature in Finder for a flash drive (from the sidebar), it asks for a password which I have done.
However, this encryption method for a flash drive is not working after I put in the password - a window informing me that a 'GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme is required' appears. I don't know what this means.
I'm trying this on a MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.2) with a SanDisk flash drive (32 GB, MacOS Extended format).

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Finder Not Showing User Library Folder
Mar 25, 2012When I open Finder on my iMac, then click on my user name in the sidebar, I am not seeing the Library folder for my user name. I need to modify some of the application support folders for specific applications, but I cannot find them using Finder. These folders are specific to my user name and are not located within the Macintosh HD/Library folder for the entire computer.
They should be in the path Macintosh HD/Users/[my username]/Library/Application Support/[application name].
But for some reason, the "Library" folder doesn't even show up in Finder when I click on Macintosh HD/Users/[my username]. It's visible when I open one of the applications and use preferences to access folders in the application support folder for that application, but not when trying to get to the same location using Finder -- which I need to do in order to copy and paste some of the files.

OS X :: Deleting Specific Search Items From Forms History
Dec 15, 2010How do you delete specific search items in your (browser) form history? I don't mean a blanket "clear all", I just want to delete my typos. In Windows, you just need to scroll down to it and hit "delete". Doing that on Mac only erases a character from your search.
