Stationery Pad files, that I'd now like to consider together in a single Finder Window.
Under the pop-up menu Kind, "Other" is listed at the bottom. One of these (as in above image) is...
I have a bunch of Smart Folders in my Finder that gather files with specific Tags.
For example:
Favorites (Smart Folder) - Files (Tagged with "Favorites")

Smart Folders are not real folders as they are query files such as Favorites.SavedSearch...
I am getting the above message constantly, now. I started off by deleting ~/Library/com.apple.finder.plist and restarting the Finder. No difference. So, I decided to re-install MacOS Ventura. After the three-hour installation process, everything seemed to be working. Until it wasn't. I came back...

My Seagate OneTouch SSD 2TB just stopped working (I've been using it with Time Machine for the last 2.5 years) and whenever I plug it into my mac, the whole finder app stops responding. Nothing in disk utility appears, either. Immediately as soon as I unplug it, everything goes back to normal...

For the past couple months I've been developing a Finder alternative for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
I'm making this out of a personal frustration with using Finder, especially as someone coming from a background of Windows/Linux. With Cosmil, my aim is to create a beautiful, functional, and...
Finder is constantly popping up a dialog which asks for my (administrator) password. The dialog says "Finder wants to make changes - Enter your password to allow this" with text boxes for User Name and passsword.
If I enter my password, it seems to accept it and then pop up the same dialog...
Hi all,
Currently battling with searching in the system default 'open document' window that pops up in applications when you click file>open.
Once in that window, the default searching behaviour is to search entire mac, not the current folder.

On my Mac Studio, since the late betas new Finder windows randomly come up with fonts set to 10pts. Deleting the preferences using defaults only cures it for a little while. RC2 still exhibits the behavior. A bug has been filed.
Is anybody else seeing this?
I have always backed up and updated my iPhone using iTunes.
With the recent security issues it seems like it's time to finally update to iOS 16 (I'm still using iOS 15 at the moment...). The problem is that the computer I usually sync with (which still uses iTunes) is not available to me right...

FileFillet is a minimalist MacOS app that simplifies file copying and moving. There is a tab shown on the side of the screen where you can drag & drop files and folders to your favorite directories. I made this as I constantly had too many Finder windows open.
It is purely...
I type in the word "sound" into Finder - and 71 documents WITHOUT the word sound are returned. There are no tag words assigned to these documents. The documents are Quick Time screen recordings that I've made.
So, why would this happen?
I am trying to expand the 'Show Preview' column the the left to make it larger when in 'List View' but it stops where I am showing in the attached image to the upper right.
Is there anyway to make this larger(Terminal perhaps)?
