Address Book Search allows no typing in its window; how can I fix this?

From the Address Book window I select Search Addresses... from the Edit drop-down menu. I then see the window as shown in http://en.flossmanuals.net/thunderbird/address-book-basics/# but it won't accept any typing.

Can you search successfully from the search/filter window at top right of the address book itself? - Yes
Do you see all the addresses as you'd expect in the imported address book? - Yes & no. All the fields seem to have been imported all right. I can see them for an individual. Also, I can see them all when I export the address book to a csv file. BUT I can't properly see them in the main window of the address book.
When I click the odd-looking icon (a book with an arrow?) at the top of the vertical slider, I get a list of only 13 fields. I can display, hide and rearrange these fields. But I cannot see how to access any of the other fields in the address book.

My new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

my new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

You might need to use a faster internet connection or stonger wifi signal, or download them to your iTunes library (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519) and sync them to your iPad to watch them.

Just thought I'd let you know. Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected. I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800. So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

Hello my sister game me her iphone 4S and when i tried to use it with my sim card it doesn't work and it says searching... and No service! How can i fix this? thank you

hello i have a problem. my iphone 4s which my sister gave as a present i put my card in and i cannot get sign ,its vodafone card. It say searching...No service! I can only use it for the internet. How can i fix it? Thank you

Sounds like the iPhone is locked to another wireless provider.
Have your sister contact her wireless provider to see if they
offer unlocking and if she qualifies.
Have you tried to activate the iPhone to your iTunes account?
What happened? If there is an error message, what is the exact
wording?

I can't get Google (word & icon) to load in the search bar on my home page. How can I fix this?

Starting a few weeks ago every time I load my home page in Firefox (v20) the search bar, next to the right side of the address bar, comes up what I call blank. It's just a small blank sheet of paper with the upper corner turned down. What should be in that search box is the icon and word "Google". When the icon and the word Google doesn't load I can't type any web address in the address bar and change to that web site. Also, when I bring down the menu of previous web addresses from the address bar and click (highlight) one of them nothing happens either. I have tried about everything I can find on this or that I can think of and so far nothing has worked. Once in a while I might get the Google icon & word to come up like it's supposed to in the search bar but it won't stay. It might last the rest of a given evening but the next time I bring up my home page it's gone. I really NEED help on this.
Thanks for any help or suggestions for this problem.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

I would like to only have one address book, the iCloud one, on my iPhone. How can I do this?

As the question says. On my iphone I have two Contacts 'On my iPhone' and 'iCloud' but I would just like to have the iPhone one as this is just duplicate of the one on my iphone!
Or am I missing the point of having the two?

Made a typo in my question -- it should have read

Since yesterday when I open a new firefox browser , it searches in yahoo instead of google. How can I fix this.. Dont see anything new in the toolbars

The toolbars appear the same, but when I open a firefox browser and do a search it uses yahoo instead of google. I am not aware of anything I did to cause this

Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
You can check the browser.search.defaultenginename pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to Google.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

When I click and open my Firefox browser ,it always opens to Firefox welcome page ,NOT my google search page , which is my home page , how can I fix this , I have to always have to close FF before I can search !!??

Can you help me figure out how to stop Firefox from opening to welcome page / updated window, I have to close that before I can use my google search page ,which is my homepage !!

You can start by checking the Home page setting to see if that still links to the Google Home page (http://www.google.com/firefox)
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
You can also check the startup setting just above the home page setting.
If the home page setting isn't correct and changing it doesn't last if you close and reopen Firefox then you need to check if the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/prefs.js_file prefs.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] isn't corrupted.

Firefox on my laptop will not allow me to open multiple tabs, how can I fix this issue?

I usually use firefox and yesterday was downloading a photoshop program called gimp. all of a sudden after downloading it, firefox stops allowing me to open multiple tabs. I click on file and new tab, but it still will not work.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Windows Internet Explorer 9 will not allow me to download Firefox. How can I fix this?

Running Windows Vista with Internet explorer 9. Need to download Mozilla Firefox. I get to the Firefox download page, click on the Download button. I get at message asking if I would like to save the Firefox Setup Stub, which I did. A small extra window appears, presumably for the installer download, but nothing ever appears in it. The download page says that if the download does not begin shortly to "click here". I did that and nothing happens. Please help!

Try using the full download installer, rather than the "stub" installer.

My LED light turns on and off on its own, how can I fix this?

I dropped my phone today and my LED light on the back by the camera turns on and off randomly. I've dropped it before today and it just now started doing this. How can I fix it or do I have to bring it in to a Apple store?

The phone is probably broken. You will have to take it to an Apple store for repair or replacement.
