Trouble with the advanced search function on acrobat reader. Why won't it open? it used to, but suddenly stopped working.

For some inexplicable reason the advanced search option in my acrobat reader 11.0.3 has stopped working. It worked just fine a few weeks ago. I am running Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro. When I open advanced reader the pdf file I am trying to search ceases to be the active window. But no other window exists (in 'window' search is checked, but there is nothing there!). Does anyone have any ideas. I have downloaded and re-installed reader twice, and removed all earlier versions (I think). This is kind of urgent!

It's a 3rd party app.  You really should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums
Mac OS X (10.6.6)
Use Software Update or the OS 10.6.8 combo update to update your OS.  Also, update everything SU has to offer for your computer.  When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

  • HT204266 I have an iPhone 4s and I have been having troubles with the downloaded apps. I have tried everything from re installation to restarting and deleting but nothing is working. When I press the icon, there is a flash and I return to my home screen.

    Exactly as I mentioned above, the app just gives a flasha nd returns to the home screen, I have tried everything and nothing has really worked. Any suggestions?

    Basic troubleshooting steps straight out of the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  Have you been through ALL of these steps?

  • I am having problems using Firefox with Ebay in the last 10 days. The advanced search link is dropping off the page and there is no way to access it now.

    I have been using Firefox and Ebay for at least 12 years with no problems whatsoever. But in the last 10 days I have been having trouble with the Advanced Search link disappearing from the page on Ebay. If I do a search from the Ebay home page it will show the results, but the Advanced Search link (in blue letters) which always used to appear to the right of the Search button is gone. If I click Search again at this point I can see the Advanced Search link appear for a millisecond, but then disappear just as quickly. Also, if I refresh the page the same thing happens. I tried to duplicate this problem with Internment Explorer and it didn't occur, so it appears to be Firefox that is causing this issue. Of course when I contacted Ebay they told me my problem was that I wasn't using Internment Explorer! I love Firefox and do not want to switch!

    You can try to clear the cache and cookies to see if that makes a difference:
    <h3>Clearing Cache</h3>
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    <h3>Clearing Cookies</h3>
    #Go to Firefox > Tools > Privacy > Remove Individual Cookies
    #Find the site (ebay.com) that's having problems and clear all cookies.
    #Restart Firefox
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Adobe Advanced Search Function not woking

    The Advanced Search Function has stopped working. I use mac os x 10.6.8. I deleted and reinstalled adobe reader 10.1.2 and still the same problem: nothing appears when I click on the Advanced Search function. I'd welcome suggestions on how to fix this. Thank you.

    Did you try the shortcut for Advanced search - option + shift +F. Do you not get the search window even then ?

  • Having trouble with the video function..

    I just purchased the 60GB ipod photo. I'm transferring music files easily. However, I'm having trouble with the video function. I've loaded Itunes 6, reloaded the original setup disk, and have loaded the latest updates for the unit. I can download movies from the itunes store and save them to my library, but I cant seem to transfer the video files to the ipod. Ive reinstalled itunes and the update 6 with no success. After syncing the ipod it only shows the music files even after all that Ive tried. Additionally, there is no evidence of the video function on the main menu after the update attempts. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm eager to get past this problem so that I can start tranfering personal movies and video files.

    You Have an iPod Photo, You do NOT have a 5th Generation Video iPod. Get it? You need the 5G model to play video.
    If the salesman told you it was the 5G model he lied, was ignorant or both. If video is important or if thats what you thought you were getting you will need to return your 4G iPod photo for new iPod.

  • How can I figure out what my password is and keep it unlocked?  Every time I do a system update, it requires the password and sends me into cyber trouble with the remember my keychain access, requiring it every time I log in.  A real hassle to be avoided

    How can I find out what my password on the computer is?  I had to change it due to my teenagers helping themselves, and now every time there is a system update, I have to have the password, which I cannot remember or find.  It then wants it every time I log in and pops up Key Chain Access as well.  Very annoying.  I do not have the disc to reload it and fear I would loose everything on my computer as there is also trouble with the back up system.  Too many issues and not enough solutions.  Many thanks in advance!

    I do not have the disc to reload
    Why not?  You need your system dvds to troubleshoot & to reset/change passwords in view of your current OS listed in your  profile. 
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.
    ===============
    I have to have the password, which I cannot remember or find.
    When selecting passwords, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure out. 
    Old school--- > Print it out & keep in a safe place.  A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.
    New school---> Get a password manager utility.  Highly recommend 1Password which is shareware.  Do a Google search for free password managers.

  • How can I get a LOV to work in the advanced search area

    I am using JHeadstart 10.1.3.3.
    We are doing a LOV lookup on User-id. When the user selects a user-id or just starts keying in a user-id I have my Jheadstart code to pull in the full-name whenever the client selects a new user-id or starts keying a userid.
    Under UserId we have the following definition
    PersonIdentitiesLOV
    UserId <= UserId
    FullName <= CombinedName
    We set up PersonIdentitiesLOV so that "Use LOV for validation" is set to true.
    When I tested my code, in the advanced search this is what happened:
    1) When the client selects a user-id the FullName field gets populated
    2) When the client just keys in the user-id then the FullName DOES NOT get populated.
    Someone told me that there is a bug in JHeadstart in 10.1.3.3 where if you turn on the "Use LOV for validation" then it does not get executed in the Advanced Search.
    How do I get around this problem.
    If this does not work then how would it be best to display the full name whenever someone keys in a user-id. We are using this full name display for auditing purposes at the cashiers wicket whenever someone keys in a userid and does not recognize the person. We want the full name displayed along with userid for verification purposes.
    Any idea on how to get this working?

    This is not a bug, it is intended behavior.
    In search fields you might want to search for parts of the name, using a wildcard, that's why the auto-complete is not working there.
    If an end user wants to search the complete name, he can use the LOV to pick a value.

  • The collection you specified does not exists or is not registered with the ColdFusion Search Service.

    While upgrading to CF7 from CF5, I am creating the new collections from Cf Admin. After creating, I indexed it from cf admin and then trying to search for the documents in that collection, and i am getting the following error. This was working yesterday. I have cheched the logs etc and nothing seems helpful in discovering what the issue is.
    Document count is 11,745 and the size is 25,948 kb, which is not too much for a collection. I have tried to restart Cold Fusion Search Services and then ColdFusion Application services, but all in vain.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    So at last I figured this out myself and found a temporary resolution for this kind of problem. Majority of the times try creating the Collection through Cfcollection tag and then index it using cfindex tag, rather than performing these operations from the Cold Fusion 7 administrator.
    The only reason I can think of which might have caused the issue is – I have thousands of documents in the collection which I indexed. So while indexing the page gets expired. So I tried again to index it. This time the collection got indexed fairly quickly and I got the response that the collection has been indexed successfully. So for the first time when I tried to index the collection, there might be some piece of code, which did not register the collection properly and hence giving this error.
    When I did the same function using the code, with exactly same set of documents, it did not throw any error, even when I executed it for the first time. So the collection indexed properly.
    I am not claiming that technically this theory is correct, but this seems to be the problem.
    If someone knows technically what has happened at the back, please share it. For the time being, this is the fix – if you experience any problem in creating/indexing collections through cfadmin in CF7, do it thorough code.
