<div dir="ltr"> hey,<div><br></div><div> I'm hoping someone with deeper Mac knowledge can help me to the clear, simple solution to a strange problem finding files on my Mac. (it's an older Macbook Pro, OSX 10.5 pretty sure, if that really matters here..)</div>
<div><br></div><div> my issue is: I record almost all of my practicing, jamming, at home with Audacity. I re-installed Audacity and recorded three pieces before doing any of the full setup for temporary and final storage location for files. I have set these locations now.</div>
<div> for a few weeks I was working with these three files in Audacity by opening the .aup files from Audacity's File>Open Recent list.</div><div>I did some recording after this, so the three files are no longer in the Open Recent list.</div>
<div> I usually look over the archive of all recording I have done by using Spotlight to show all .aup files on the computer. the three files I want are not in the list in Spotlight.( I noticed this while the files still showed up in the Audacuty>File> Open Recent list.) I have tried both .aup, and the "exp wed" which they were named, but nothing.</div>
<div> I used the terminal commands to show all hidden files in Spotlight, but still nothing.</div><div><br></div><div> does anyone know how I can find these files? I am not totally sure of the full name as I may have used our band name raas (nothing comes from searching raas either...), but am very sure the names were "exp wed" and a #. I know for sure they are all .aup files, and I was able to open and make an mp3 from one three months after recording.</div>
<div>it is driving me nuts to know they are on the computer, somewhere, but the computer won t see them....</div></div>
