I'm using Outlook on my MBA and was wondering if there is anyway to exclude emails from the file types that Finer uses when looking at all of your files? Â
At the moment when I am looking for certain files I find myself having to scroll endlessly to get past the individual email messages/files that Finder throws up.Â

I just had a weird new update in itunes and now all my pc games wav files show in music itunes. how to exclude a certain type of files?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do you make the exclude file option on zip, or unzip, work for dotted files? For example, Â
zip -r foo ~/foo/ -x *.txtÂ
will zip all files in ~/foo/ that do not have the extension txt. But this doesn't work for "hidden" files, those that start with ".", like ".txt". So,Â
zip -r foo ~/foo/ -x /.txtÂ
still gets all the .txt files in foo zipped up, not excluded.Â
unzip foo -x /.txtÂ
has the same problem: it happily includes any .txt files in foo.zip in the unzipping

What all gets excluded from a Time Machine backup when you specify 'Exclude All System Files' when selecting to exclude the 'System' folder?? Does this include all of the invisible unix folders? I don't see much reason to back that up since I can always reinstall from CD.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently upgraded to 10.10 (fresh install and only migrated network settings and documents). I was setting up my Time Machine and choosing which folders to exclude from the backup when suddenly when I clicked on the plus button to add another directory the finder window shows all the folders as greyed out and unable to be selected. This applies to ALL files on the hard drive. Screen shot attached. I have performed a repair permissions and still a problem. Also performed a repair on the disk to and no change. Needless to say I have performed a reboot as well.Â

I excluded folders in options in the Time Machine system preferences and told me that the calculated backup is about 30 GB. Nevertheless, when the time machine starts is counts about 300GB. Therefore it is not excluding the marked folders.Â

I am backing up my data from my mac book pro for a second time. I plug in my external, and it says it doesn't have enough memory to back up my computer. I have 1 TB hard drive and used about 650 MB for the first back-up. Obviously I don't have enough to back up everything for a second time. I just want to back up the new stuff. When I go to exclude the current external from the new back up, it's grayed out. Do I have to delete the contents of the hard drive and re-back up the entire computer?

Apple mail out of office rule is sending auto replies to all emails not just newly received emails--HELP! I set up the rule according to another apple support thread and instead of only sending the reply to new mail received, it was sent to all messages I believe that were in my INBOX, I only had a few but several people that hadn't sent me emails since I set up the rule, received the OUT OF OFFICE reply.Here is the procedure I followed for the out of office rule-[URL]I just used my email account which is a business account- not an ECU account but these rules according to the apple thread apply for all emails.

I just set up Time Machine, and in order to make my backups efficient, I'm trying to think what kind of stuff to exclude. I want a full, working backup, so that if I needed to I could have a complete, bootable restore in less than an hour. With that in mind, here's what I excluded so far:
1) My 2nd external hard drive. It's filled with videos and wouldn't fit anyway. I figure if that drive goes down I'll recover what I can from it and re-rip the rest.
2) My downloads folder. I just download so much crap here that I usually throw away instantly or else move. Plus the downloads folder usually has 2 copies of everything: compressed and uncompressed. Even worse, if the download is a .tar.gz, it has 3 copies of the file.
3) My VMWare images folder. Time machine will back this sucker up every hour that I'm using one of the virtual machines (due to the fact that the guest OS is storing virtual memory in the image file), which would completely kill my ability to go "back in time" since it would fill up my drive very quickly.
4) Anything that's already version controlled elsewhere. I have all my code in a subversion repository on another server, so I don't see a point in backing that up. The backup would just be cluttered anyway.
Every time my Mac checks for updates, it finds about 1.2gig of new instruments for Garageband and an iWeb update, but I don't use these and don't want to waste bandwidth on them. how to exclude these without always having to de-select them when downloading updates.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to save files to an external drive? We receive emails with attachments. When we save these files, the only options given are "desktop" and "our external drive". We need to save them to folders, preferably on our external drive. Even if we create a folder on the desktop, we can't figure out how to save the file in that folder directly. The desktop is a mess because it is littered with images.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just saw this terminal script dock tip from [URL] where your recent Applications or Recent Documents among other "Recent" choices show up as a stack, which I thought was perfect because I could finally show my recent documents, which I couldn't do before due to smart folders not working with stacks. The only problem now is that the most inane file types show up there, such as iChat files and prefPanes, so I was wondering if anybody knew of script that would allow for you to exclude those doc types from showing up in recent documents.

However, if I unmount/mount the drive or reboot/mount the drive, Spotlight starts indexing the drive all over again and I have to add it to the privacy pane again. Is there a way to make Spotlight permanently "forget" an external drive?

I have set parental controls for my daughter's laptop and I'm finding them a little too controlling! In particular, it requires my consent for accessing our wifi home printer (not a problem, I've approved that) but then also for the printer at her school. Other than turning off controls for a day to allow her to get authorized for whatever printers they have at the school, and hoping that the authorization will last, is there a way to exclude printing from the parental controls in the first place? Â

For some reason, my Macintosh HD has ended up on my list of items to exclude from backup (in the Options section of Time Machine preferences). I can't do the recommended thing of highlighting the HD and pressing the minus sign, because my HD is grayed out on the Exclude list and unable to be highlighted.

Over the past couple of months I have received a whole lot of emails from I guess the .me server saying unable to send due to error. I have never sent these emails, and I dont know the address they were addressed to, I ignored it thinking it would just stop. This morning I can't get my email due to being locked out for security reasons. I was directed to change my password and now alot of emails are showing up with no subject dated 12/31/69. There must be 50 of them, but my inbox only says I have 13 new emails! What the heck is going on? Has my cloud been hacked.
