Awsome Bar doesn't find anything but is spinning forever

I'm using FF 4.0. After starting FF, everything works as expected. But after some time, the Awsome Bar stops finding any entries in my history/bookmarks. I can't tell exactly when this exceptional behaviour starts, just after some hours of browsing. No matter what I enter into the Awsome Bar, no hit is shown, but the wheel on the left of the bar keeps spinning forever.

You've already checked for most of the things I would check for under these circumstances, so the following "troubleshooting" thoughts are pretty experimental.
Wondering here if this might be an issue with the firewall rules for your ASU. Roughly speaking, ASU checks the MSIs on your PC to get the version numbers of currently installed software, then compares that with the download server's list of version numbers at Apple. So if the firewall isn't letting ASU talk to the server, it might report that there's nothing available for download. (Normally under those circumstances, ASU would report a "The Apple Software Update Server could not be found" message, but odd things can happen with firewall settings issues.)
So check the Firewall rule for ASU in your Firewall settings. Is it allowing full access to the Internet? If not, and you do allow it full access, does ASU display updates?
If it is already allowing full access, try deleting that rule and creating a new one (that allows full access). Does ASU report anything new available for you with a new firewall rule in place?

When I attached my USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears and the same when I attached my new superdrive. I just finished downloading pictures off of my old Mac and that one worked as expected. The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull the USB flashdrive out, a message prompts me with an improper eject notice. Any ideas on why no icon (a disc) appears and how can I get it to?

Open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for what you want displayed on the Desktop. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar and do the same for what you want displayed in the sidebar.

Itunes doesn't sync Anything but it recognizes my iphone 4

itunes doesn't sync anything. but it recognizes my iphone!
And also uninstalled and installed itunes. still the same. itunes finds the devices, starts with the backup and stops always at step 5 (out of 7). It doesn't sync anything, no music, no apps..
it always stops after:"..to determine apps for synchronisation"

There is no option like "sync all photos"
There is option for "All folders".
Am i correct?

Hi Guys,
One of my programmes tells me there is a critical update for my () Office for Mac (office 10) but I seem unable to be able to find anything but Apple on my Apple - how can I update my office for Mac?
I have deayed the latest OS Software update because of this.
I am not a great computer guy - just want to use it. Thanks in anticipation, cheers, smepeter

There are no specific updates for Lion or Mountain Lion. The Office updates are for all OS's.
Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads
Then, click on the version of Office that you have. It will list the updates that are available.
Also click on Additional Tools. Download and install the update for Auto Updater.
Note that Microsoft's updates for Office are usually not cumulative, so you must install them all in order.
The Auto Update app will find the ones you need and install them.
From any Office App, go to the Help menu and select "Check for Updates." It will open the AutoUpdater.
The current version is in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0

My laptop doesn't show anything but the mouse after the logon page at windows 8.1

my laptop doesn't show anything but the mouse after the logon page at windows 8.1..Acer E5 473G 57QQ

Hi there! When I read your post, I realized that a clean boot or a safe mode might help. I suggest you read the articles on them if you are not familiar. However, a legacy boot menu to enter a safe mode is unfortunately difficult in windows 8.1 as revealed in method 5 of the following article http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-8-windows-81 I am sorry that I was unable to provide a solution directly but hope that this reply will give a direction..............

Satellite M30X-111 screen doesn't display anything but external monitor works

My laptop screen just doesn't display anything (look like when the computer is off) but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop will be displayed on that monitor. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.
I again have to plug in the external monitor, and after I tried to reboot, I keep pressing F8 but the start up mode doesn't come up, only the sound of when you keep pressing a button for too long beeps, however, the laptop monitor works again.
How do I fix this problem?

Hi
According to your first posting I presume that LCD display on your notebook is defective. If you can not see BIOS settings or Toshiba welcome screen there must be some display problem.
Experiment with external display is to be sure that graphic card is not responsible for that. In your case it works with external display and graphic card can not be responsible.
Like I said try to enter bios settings and report if you can see Toshiba welcome screen.

ICal search doesn't find anything

when I test this by creating a future event with a particular word in it, then return to today and search for that word in the little "search" box at top right, it doesn't find that word.
Why not?

I have also had long standing problems of not being able to search for calendar events, either from within iCal or Spotlight or using mdfind.
None of the suggested solutions worked for me (removing Calendar Cache file, adding and removing folders or drives to the privacy section of Spotlight to re-index, or running mdimport ~/Library/Calendars.
One clue was that mdimport -d2 ~/Library/Calendars would not even look at the individual .ics files within any .calendar/Events directory (no output). I suspected that this was due to LaunchServices not associating these files properly with iCal. My system had previously been upgraded all the way from 10.0 through 10.6.
What finally worked for me was the following, using the Terminal, rebuilding completely the LaunchServices database:
rm /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore
*defaults delete com.apple.LaunchServices*
*sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister -kill*
*sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister -R -domain local -domain system -domain user*
(note the capital -R in the previous line.)
This step will take a few minutes to complete, with a message about I/O throttleing
reboot (not sure if that is necessary)
*mdimport -d2 ~/Library/Calendars*
This last command should now show the successful indexing of all calendar events.
After this search finally worked again for me!

Heiko

Display ethernet doesn't find IP, but does work with manual IP

My MacBook Pro is connected to my thunderbolt display. Recently the display ethernet stopped working. When I set the setting on 'Using DHCP' it doesn't find an IP address. I can select 'Using DHCP with manual address' and choose a random IP address and it works fine. The wifi also works fine (so that does find an IP address using DHCP...).
Any ideas how to solve this? Is it a mac or a router problem?
Thanks in advance,
Rugen Heidbuchel

If you remove display ethernet in the Network menu then add it back in does it find the IP address?

The awsome bar doesn't work, I already tried to fix it with about:config but still no history. What should I do?

I tried many things, but nothing has solved my problem yet. I tried changing the history settings and some settings in about:config --> autofill true, etc. I just doesn't autofill. What should I do?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why Mail doesn't find anything anymore?

Using the search window on Mail doesn't give me a useful search anymore. It used to find everything perfectly but now it rarely finds what I need. Even testing and trying to find an e-mail that has the exact word that I typed a lot of times doesn't work. Making it search on all mailboxes and Entire Message or other options doesn't make any difference. Any ideas?
Mail 2.1 on MacOS 10.4.8

You’re welcome.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command, and press <Return> (you can copy the command here and paste it in Terminal):
sudo mdutil -E -i on /
The -E option tells Spotlight to delete any already existing index data (so that it’s rebuilt from scratch all over again). The -i on option ensures that indexing is enabled. Finally, the ‘/’ at the end means "apply this command to the startup disk".
After entering the previous command in Terminal, you’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Just type it blindly (you won’t see any feedback of the keystrokes while you type it) and then press <Return>.
Alternatively, you may prefer to do what Mike has suggested, and which is also described in the following article, but this procedure doesn’t always work:
Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
For best results, quit Mail and don’t play too much with your disk while Spotlight does its job, i.e. avoid files being created/modified/deleted, mail being downloaded, etc.
That should fix the Spotlight issue, but may not fix the Mail issue completely, amongst other reasons because Mail uses Spotlight for Entire Message searches only. Post back with your observations when done.

Forum search doesn't find message but Google does

The forum-search query "icc profiles ilford paper", with the forum "Photoshop Elements" selected, does not find the following message:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1520276#1520276
Re: ICC Profiles
I just purchased some ILFORD paper and I downloaded and installed the ICC profile into Windows Vista without any problems. My question is when I open my printer properties and select a paper profile my ILFORD ICC profile is not showing. I have a Canon Pro9000 printer.
However, this Google query does:
icc profiles ilford paper photoshop elements site:forums.adobe.com
Sigh, in general I'm finding it faster and more reliable to use Google to search not only Adobe forums, but the knowledge base and the rest of the Adobe site as well.
Also, the message above is definitely indexed by the forum search engine, since you can retrieve it using the following query:
subject:"icc profiles" ilford paper
Of course, at the time I was searching, I didn't know which keywords were in the subject and which were in the body.

And this suprises who? Never had much luck with the Adobe search, either in old or new forum.

My tech person on campus wants to know the apple number of the apple tv so he can directly hook the internet into the apple tv without a password. I can't seem to find anything but the serial number on the box or on the tv? Does anyone know where it is?

I bought apple tv thinkng it would save me from my college life of not being able to have cable but it has cost more of a problem Be
ause my campus is so large we have passwords to log into our network. When I called the tech people they siad if i had the apple number they would be able to connect it to the network without a password. I tought this was the source of my problem because i can not connect to the server because it is not loging in to my apple id and password that is my itunes account. I have checked it multiple times and thats not the problem. The other problem is I can not find the apple number the tech was describing to connect it to the network. Does anyone know the answers to my problems? Im a college student in dire need of tv!

Hi,
I imagine he means "encrypted wireless.
I'm a little confused about what the IT guy wants. If your campus has a wireless network and others with laptops etc can connect to it them you should also be able to with the Apple TV. It seems to me that the campus IT guy needs to give you the name of the wireless network (SSID) and a password so you can connect.
Then go to Apple TV General/Network/Configure Wi-fi and follow instructions. The IT person should tell you what encryption they use WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc. Probably WPA2. You'll need this infor to connect.
Then go to
Apple TV General/Network/Configure TCP/IP and you will probably tell it to use DHCP and it should connect you to the campus network.
After that you can sign into the iTunes store etc.
Or am I missing something here?
Pat.

Bridge search criteria doesn't find files but the exact same criteria finds files in the Finder

I am wondering if anyone has been having the same problem that I have been having. I can't seem to get any results back from the Bridge when I create a smart collection but when I enter the exact same criteria in the Finder I get lots of results. I took a screen shot of both programs if any one can catch something I am doing wrong. To me it looks exactly like the same search criteria in both apps.
Here are the screen shots:

Hi Holly,
I've been doing a lot of reading on and off and my office just decided to get a server and either extensis portfolio, or canto cumulus, both are software packages that have been designed from the beginning to do exactly what we want.
The drag is that they are expensive, but I was spending so much time trying to tweak out bridge and trying different scripts and blah blah blah, that I wasn't taking pictures, so that's what we decided to go with.
I've worked with Canto Cumulus in another job and it is really great, some people told me to check out extensis so I'm looking into both right now.
Sorry, but that's the best solution for us, just use something else instead of bridge for the network.

Finder in Time Machine doesn't find anything?

Last night I moved my Time Machine backups to a new EHD using the "restore" feature in Disk Utility. Everything seemed to work fine. I'm able to enter Time Machine and reach my oldest backup. I was even able to do a new backup just fine. The problem is (and it's really just annoying, not fatal) that when I'm in Time Machine and search for something in Finder nothing comes up. I put in a word that would be extremely common in my files and there was nothing. Not on the first backup I did on the new drive, not on my most recent backup and definitely not anything further back. Any advice? I have no idea what could be going on.

I would guess that it is not indexed. You can get it to reindex by placing it in the privacy list, waiting a while, and then removing it.
