Finder - how to display all THE files and folder without exception names in searches?

I like Mac OS.  I can't WAIT finder.  I just want that he show me everything that matches my search string - files, folders, images, etc.  Each of them, everywhere on my machine.  I just want it to be simple.  Or point me to a good replacement for Finder program.  I waste so much time trying to find things that should take a simple search...  I looked at all the stupid shortcuts like Shift + Cmd + G, which can't find folders in the directory you are in (why would it be separated anyway?).

Thank you

CMD-SHIFT-g is quite a search function. It allows you to enter the path of the folder you want to open. What you think "seeks" the current folder is really thin path. If you enter no previous path information, it looks in the current working directory to the folder name you typed in the dialog box.

You can set the default search starting location in Finder preferences. I have mine for current folder. Looks like you might prefer "search this Mac".

Typing in the search field in the Finder will search the contents and filename. It will offer to search for chips to match types he concludes.

If you just want to search for files and folders, but no content file, then use cmd-ctrl-shift-f to search by name (you can adjust this shortcut to the system preferences keyboard).

If you don't get the results of your research, then perhaps your Spotlight index is corrupt.

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

    My lightroom was great before the crash to work and I have a lot of work still pending.

    You will need the catalog file and all your images. If you have also stored your images on which crashed HDD you will need to copy them as well.

  • How to save all the files associated with a Web site?

    I'm an administrator (but not the creator) of a Web site that I am responsible for the update. I don't have the documentation that I need to do some of my tasks. So I thought that I could find enough simply to save the site from Firefox.
    The last time that I have this (several versions of Firefox there is), there is a command "save under" which would save the main HTML file in your selected folder AND save all the subsidiary referenced files in a single subfolder, so built a local version of the site.
    When I tried this today in v20.0.1, the two options "Save As" only created a single file of the current page with all the original references links on the left.
    Is there another way to 'dumping' of the entire application on my hard drive?

    I initially save as "Web Page, complete"? , but the hrefs all mentioned on the real web site, not to any local versions.

    I also tried the Scrapbook addon. It does not seem to do what I want, but I can't find where it stored all the files. I'll be back with the author of the album.

    PS. Why can't I find setting controls in shape when you enter a question?

  • How to print all the files in a folder without having to open each one?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to print all the files in a folder? I often need to print multiple files in a folder and it would allow me to save a lot of time!

    Thank you!

    I've done some testing, and it seems that Windows 7 allows print several files when they are all the same type of file.  So, for example, you can select and print 15 Word documents, but not a Word document and a single PDF document.

    To work around this limitation, you can print each file type separately.  For example, to print PDF files in a folder:

    1. Type *. PDF in the search for top-right box.
    2. For 1-15 files, press on CTRL + A to select all the.
    3. For 16 or more files, select 15 of them (click on the first, SHIFT + click the last).
    4. Click any file, and then click print .
    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community forum. Let me help you with your concern.

    The security settings for the my document and other folders in the library will have complete control and the tick mark you are talking about will be by default on all Windows 7 computers. Some folders inside of it will be in read-only by default. You can remove by box to uncheck Read-only in the properties of the folder.

  • How to remove all corrupted files and Roxio?

    New problem since the last automatic download of an update to my Windows Vista:

    On Windows Vista, whenever I start a program, I get the error message ' (programname) .exe - damaged file. " The file or the directory c:\program files\common Roxio shared is damaged and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility. »

    I have run checkdisk repeatedly, but always the same error message every time that any program starts.

    I tried to uninstall all the subprogrammes of Roxio in this folder, but the "uninstall" program would not do that.

    I also tried to reinstall Roxio of CD disc programs and Vista wouldn't let me do it anymore.

    My other programs all work perfectly, so I take it that it is not the executable file for these various programs that is corrupt, only the one Roxio.

    The MacAfee program tells me that I have no virus it can see.

  • How to list all the files in a backup job?

    User GreyGnome:

    I would like to get a list of all the files on a file system backup task. Is this possible?

    Through the CLI, if possible. On Linux.

    Thank you.

    Posted by AdrianMoir

    Hi GreyGnome,

    You can actually set this via the user interface on the backup options for employment. See attached picture.

    This will allow you to define a path and file name of a text file that lists all the files that are backed up by work, when the work is performed.

    Once the option set is saved under a name, if you create jobs through the CLI, with nvjobcreate, you can specify the selectionoptionsetname - , by using the name of the set option that you created with the entry 'Path to Backup Log'.

    The text file will display the name of the file in the following attributes...

    Backup Path, State, Type, size (bytes), Timestamp, attributes.

    Thank you very much

    Adrian.
