You can have two open file windows next each other now. But on a laptop I can have three, I can have thirty open on the same screen. What wizardry that somehow eludes the ipad with the same cpu as a mac! I'm looking forward to the day the iPad has the basic functionalities of a real computer, hopefully that day will be not be in another five years!
My biggest gripe is the backward way of doing things just because Apple must be different. Even though its weird, uncommon or just frustrating… like not show file extension!
Oh sure you can click on file, bring up menu then click info…really! Several clicks just to find out what the file is? For work this is a huge pain and just plain idiotic. I tend to have folders with multiples of same file but different types, exp.
Open Safari by clicking the "Safari" icon in your dock or by holding "Command" and the spacebar on your keyboard and searching for the app. In the pop-up window, click the selection box next to "Clear" and select the amount of history you'd like to delete. Select "Clear all history" if you want to delete everything. Your download history is now deleted, with the rest of your browsing data — however this will not delete items you've downloaded.
Open Google Chrome by clicking the "Chrome" icon in your dock or by holding "Command" and the spacebar on your keyboard and searching for the app. Select "Clear Browsing Data" from the dropdown menu. A new page should open with a pop-up window saying "Clear browsing data" at the top. Click the "Advanced" tab of the box. Check the box next to each item you'd like to delete by clicking on the box.
When an item is selected there should be a blue check mark in the box. Doing this allows you to customize what data stays on your computer, such as passwords and sign-in data, and what gets deleted. You can also choose the time period of data you want to clear. To clear all download data, change the time range to "All Time" by clicking the box next to "Time Range" at the top of the pop-up window and selecting it from the dropdown menu. Finder Search must be accessed from a file system window in the Finder.
If you click on a file result in the Finder Find feature, the path to the file will be visible in the Finder windows status bar.

This is for Mac, but on iPad the downloaded files from Safari will default to go to your iCloud Drive.
If you open the Files app you should be able to find the files you downloaded to your iPad. Stacey, this is about finding downloads on the Mac.
The iPad is not a Mac. So, I downloaded the files to my iPad so my question is, where will they be? Can somebody please email me. Why must we open the DL folder in the finder first? Is it too much to ask to have the functionality directly from the DL folder? Is there any way of accessing the Mac HD in Finder quickly? Never knew you could do this, and I find it very handy, so thanks for the tip ;-. I seldom download, but when I do I want it to show up on the Desktop as a reminder that I have something new to contend with.
I would prefer to never use the download folder, I have no intuition to go to it. How do I avoid it and have everything go to desktop. It varies per application.
So how to do it depends on the app you are downloading the files from, what do you usually use to download? My download folder disappeared during an update. See if the Downloads folder appears on screen, it should. I am guessing it is probably just hidden. Have you provided an outline of what happens when you download an app onto the iMac.
As an example, lets say you download a word processing package. There are some files left in hidden places but the algorithm for a given uninstaller can't deal with these "orphans".
FindAnyFile can. First, I use an uninstaller and search for all the files it can delete. Usually, within the file name is a unique and predictable naming sequence like com. The developer's name is unique and the name of the app is unique. Lots of hits like. This is advanced stuff and you have to know how to use Time Machine or be willing to reinstall an app or the whole operating system if you goof.
But this is no different than using iTrash uninstaller which in advanced mode gives false hits plus that developer pushes iFileX which is just the same as FindAnyFile for this purpose. So, I have, in the end, a cleaner mac. Five Stars. Sergesouszero Jul 18 If you think this is better than iFileX, please tell why.
I would like to hear some opinions. Gary30 Jul 5 I have been an EasyFind user for years. However, I recently had the need to search on dates. HoudaSpot, which is a great front end for Spotlight, will do that but Spotlight does not index or report on certain folders reliably. Find Any File offers two of the four file date search criteria.
The results window is spectacular. Seeing the folder tree is very useful. I could see this replacing EasyFind, although I am so comfortable with that app from years of use that I imagine I will use the two side by side until I get comfortable.
Drdul May 5 It's been a while since I rated FAF, so it's time for another five stars. FAF is an indispensable app. I use it for all sorts of stuff, from finding mis-filed files to completely removing software. The support is excellent, too.
I have contacted the dev a few times with questions that it turned out I should have been able to figure out on my own or find the answer to in the help file, but despite the dev answered my questions fully and quickly. Spotlight is nice, when it works, but there's always a need for very specific, scoped searching like Find Any File FAF provides.
FAF is necessarily slow as it looks at files as-need, instead of looking at an index like Spotlight. I prefer this as FAF isn't always running in the background taking up resources like Spotlight's mds process. I mostly use FAF for stuff that Spotlight won't do, like searching inside bundles applications, frameworks, plugins, etc to find icons and sounds that Spotlight won't find.
I usually start by casting a wide net with my FAF searches, then I further filter the results that come up by file extension. Very handy. Overall, I find myself using FAF twice a week or so. It's just nice to know I have it when Spotlight isn't behaving. Unblocktheplanet Dec 19 Well, I still don't get it. Yes, Spotlight sucks. Search function should be at least as intuitive as Mac.
Robio Dec 13 I've been using this app ever since Apple crippled search with Spotlight. I've tried competitors from time to time, but always come back to Find Any File.
The only time I use Spotlight is when I need to search content, and I rarely do that. It's worth every penny of it's totally reasonable price. Love it. Alexfotoland Dec 13 OS M31 Dec 7 The best search app I have found for the mac. I like the interface of EasyFind better, but when I tried using it it found every file except the main. Find Any File finds them all. Unblocktheplanet Nov 25 I don't know where you guys are coming from. Mac's search ability is the OS' Achilles heel. Even when I know the exact name, Spotlight, or these third-party alternatives, never bring it to the top of the results list.
Infinite-Loop Nov 17 Find Any File is by far the best file search utility in my opinion. It is the only app that seems to properly return results that include invisible and system files. I have tried both HoudaSpot and Tembo. Because both of those apps use spotlight indexes, their results are just as limited as those from spotlight. A must have app. Jazzyguy Nov 5 The terminal command to insure that root is always in is simple and easy to do as the Developer explained everything in the Help section.
Abramurkwian Nov 4 Great little app, highly recommended. Skapplin Oct 29 Charging to use beta software. Not good. Easy Find is free and does it all, too. Perhaps even more. I have been looking for a program like this! Finder is not so great for external HD or even my internal Hd for that matter. Jazzyguy Oct 27 WonderfulApp that I use frequently to find files that I can't find with Spotlight.
The Option to find files using the option key is a Godsend. This is a great 5 star application that every Mac user should have. TomV Oct 12 I discovered this app after 1 hr of searching google on a way to search time machine. Drdul Sep 28 I like the new ability to exclude folders from current and future search. FYI: When a folder shows up in the search results that you want to exclude, right click and select Reveal in Finder, then open FAF prefs and drag the folder from the Finder window to the Special Folders window in prefs.
SickTeddyBear Jun 7 Robio Dec 31 I've been using this app since before Spotlight, and since Spotlight, I've been using it when Spotlight thinks it knows better than I do bad habit of Apple's where I want to search, and what I want to see in my search results. Just discovered some recent? I've tried alternatives from time to time, and even kept EasyFind for deep drill-downs e.
But Find Any File is. New features are very helpful, thanks! This search engine is the absolute best. I also appreciate the fact that I could download the latest version at no cost and get out from underneath Apple's restrictions on the application and extremely lengthly update availability.
Sherlock is back! Ronl Jul 20 Absolutely the best!!! Use the hierarchical view and you can even access folders that the system would otherwise not allow you to look at and change as long as you are the administrator without having to log in as the root user. This app is a no-brainer as to whether to buy MUCH better than Spotlight is so many ways. Well worth the money. Brilliant little app. The best way to find or uninstall anything on a Mac. Thanks to the developer. I've tried numerous search utilities and always end up disappointed.
Either the utility doesn't find al the files, misses invisible file or stays away from the System Folder. Find Any File shines in all every failures of the other utilities I have tried.
Kudos and Keep up the great work
