Can't find the find dialog

I clicked Help in Finder to get help about finding things. This is what I found:
"The Find dialog
In the Finder, choose Find from the File menu (or press Command-F). The Find dialog allows you to:
Search specific places on the computer
Search files by content, also known as find-by-content indexing
Adding advanced search criteria"
Now, I don't get the Find dialog as shown in the help when choosing Find from the File menu.

Does anyone know where to find it? It seems much easier than the tool I get.

Where do I find the printer dialog box to change the setting that asks me to save a file before printing

Where do I find the printer dialog box to change the setting that asks me to save a file before printing

Hi Sara,
The problem is every time I try to copy a page from a website or attachment sent to me or anything that I don't create, the dialog box says I have to save it before I can print -- there are no other options on the dialog box. Very frustrating -- one of the girls in my office is having the same problem and we can't find a way around it.
Hope you can help
Thanks

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.
booya!

How can I use the find button in Edit ADF Table in JDeveloper 10.1.3

Hi all,
in JDeveloper 10.1.3
How can I make the find button work in
the same Edit ADF Table without adding new view ?
thanks

Hi there,
it depends on what you mean by adding a new view object. You[b] don't have to create a new viewobject. You do have to add a second instance of your existing view object to your page.
Form scratch works more or less like this. Drop your view object as ADF table on the form. Add the find and execute operations. Drop the same view object on your form but now as ADF search form. Place the fields form the search form in the corresponding columns next to the existing fields. For each #{row} field ,and the find button, set the rendered property
#{bindings.testUserIterator.findMode ==false}. For each inputfield, and the execute, set the rendered property #{bindings.testUserIterator.findMode ==true}.
Now it will work.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Good luck

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

How can I run the "Find my Iphone" app in my Itunes?

How can I run the "Find my Iphone" app in my Itunes?

Find my iPhone App can only run in iPhone and not iTunes. If you have activated iCloud and set Find my iPhone to ON, you can sign in to https://www.icloud.com to run Find My iPhone there.

Can I disable the "find iPhone" to restore the iPhone because I forgot the password

The passcode for the device or the password for your Apple ID?
If you know your Apple ID password, then you can go to www.icloud.com and not only remove the device from FMiP, but you can actually do a remote wipe, which will reset the device to factory settings.

I can not open the breakpoint dialog in upper right next to plus sign.

EDIT: After more digging into the issue, I found out that the trick is to click AND HOLD on the upside triangle to access the breakpoint dialog box. See link --> Adobe Edge Reflow Team Blog | Q & A From “Talk To The Team”
I can not open the breakpoint dialog in upper right next to plus sign. I click on the downward triangle with no success. Is there a trick to getting this to open? Or better yet, is there a hotkey?
Thank you for your help-

Within Photoshop go to the "About Plug-in…" menu item just below "About Photoshop" to find the Camera Raw version number. On which menu that is depends on your platform, Macintosh or Windows, which you neglected to mention.
Raw files from your camera have been supported since version 2.0 of Camera Raw for years and years, so it's not a question of your version of ACR. Any version of ACR that runs in CS5 should open those files.
I suspect your raw files are damaged (corrupted).

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
Does the drive now appear in finder..
If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.

Slow-Start Up and "can not find the server" dialog box

hi there -
2 year old Ibook G4. When I try to open either Safari or Netscape the "can not find the server" box pops up.. I have a solid connection wi-fi for the wireless signal is on full strength. I have cleared my cache. Also I am experiencing start-ups that are taking 2-3 minutes. The color wheel just keeps spinning.Also, I have done repair and I renewed the DHCD. Not sure what else to do?

as a guess, spinning wheel could be caused by failing hard drive.
often failing hard drives will pass all tests by the utilities.
you may want to back up any important files just in case.
if the iBook boots up from the OS install CD/DVD with no problems, issues could be caused by the corrupted files on the hard drive or failing drive.

Please Help. compare two excel files. Can't get the find command to work

Hello, I'm new to applescript. I'm trying to write a script to compare column B of one excel file to column B of the another excel file.
I will have to had a repeat loop to proceed down the column but I'm stuck on the find command.
Below is some of the code I have so far. The applescript error message is "Microsoft Excel got an error: The object you are trying to access does not exist. It highlights the find column."
set patientFile to choose file with prompt "Please select the patient Excel file:"
set patientName to name of (info for patientFile)
tell application "Microsoft Excel"

end tell

Thank you everyone for your help. I attached my code. It works now but kinda slow. Does anyone have any hints on making it faster.
Important : when you use the find command, it's preferable to use the properties ( look in and look at).
Example : find searchRange what searchTerm look in values look at whole
Otherwise, it will search according to the criteria of your last find.
Example, if you uncheck 'Find entire cells only', and after that you run the script,
find column 2 what 10.0 --> match 110.0 or 1110.0 or 310.0, .... , because it look at part.
set screen updating to false : Yes it improves the speed.
Here are my tests (no duplicate values in the Excel column ) on old computer (Powermac G5) .
set screen updating to false without any activate object command
2000 rows --> 3.7 minutes, your script : 11.5 minutes
4000 rows --> 7.5 minutes, your script : 23 minutes
8000 rows --> 15 minutes, your script : 46 minutes
But, it's faster to search through a list without using the Excel find command, no need to set the screen updating, You can continue working on the workbook or another workbook, this will not disturb the script.
Tests on my script :
2000 rows --> 4 seconds
4000 rows --> 21 seconds
8000 rows --> 1.3 minutes
17000 rows --> 6 minutes
Here is the script :
