When I use the regular command F in the finder to search for files, the computer will not pick up on files that I have a capital letter. Is there a way to fix this?

The default for Mac hard drive is formatted for "case-insensitive" —did you change this somewhere along the way?
A hard drive can be formatted to be case-sensitive, which means that the drive will treat files with different capitalizations as separate files.

If you open Disk Utility.app, select the drive you want to check, and look in the description area - if it says
"Case-sensitive" then your drive is set to be case-sensitive otherwise it is not.
I'm having the same problem. Just started yesterday afternoon. When I hit command + F, it does find emails, but can't locate most images (photos) -- even ones on my desktop, where I type the name of the photo exactly as it is.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated, but please, in a 'Mac for Dummies' format. I'm a disabled artist, and can't understand most technical terms. My mac is a 2020 Model, 27 inch screen, and the OS is Sequoia.
Thanks!
Search or F command is not working on Finder
