Locating MP4 files on your computer or device can depend on the operating system you are using. Here are some general methods for various systems:

### On Windows:
1. **File Explorer Search**:
   - Open File Explorer.
   - In the search bar at the top right, type `*.mp4` and press Enter. This will search for all MP4 files on your computer.
   
2. **Documents and Downloads Folders**:
   - Check common folders such as `Documents`, `Videos`, or `Downloads`, where MP4 files are often saved.

3. **Using a Third-Party Search Tool**:
   - You can use tools like Everything or FileLocator Lite, which can help you find files quickly across the system.

### On macOS:
1. **Spotlight Search**:
   - Press `Command (⌘) + Space` to open Spotlight.
   - Type `.mp4` to find all MP4 files on your Mac.

2. **Finder**:
   - Open a Finder window.
   - In the search bar, type `.mp4`, and ensure “This Mac” is selected to search your entire computer.

3. **Smart Folders**:
   - In Finder, choose `File > New Smart Folder`, click the "+" button, and set the criteria to find MP4 files.

### On Linux:
1. **Terminal Command**:
   - Open a terminal and run the command:
     ```
     find ~ -name "*.mp4"
     ```
   - This will search for MP4 files in your home directory.

2. **File Manager Search**:
   - Use your file manager (like Nautilus, Dolphin, or Thunar) and search for `*.mp4` within the application.

### On Mobile Devices:
- **iOS/Android**:
  - Use file management apps or the built-in file manager to search for `.mp4` files.
  - Check in media apps like Photos, Google Photos, or any video player apps you might have.

### Cloud Storage:
- If you save files to cloud storage (like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive), use their search functionality to find MP4 files within your account.

### Tips:
- Ensure you are searching in the correct directories, and consider any external drives or connected devices.
- If you're looking for MP4 files from a specific application (like a video editor), check the default save paths of those applications.

Following these methods should help you locate any MP4 files on your device. If you are unable to find them, there may be a chance they are stored in a less common location, or they haven’t been downloaded or saved on your device yet.
