Disable the find command
Hi All,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 3D, and i need to secure my pdf documents so that users will be unable to use the "find" and directly get to the point.
Is there any solution for that???????
Thank You.
This is the command that is endlessly repeated:

Why is the Find command in Notes always disabled?
I would like to be able to locate text inside of notes in the Mac OS X version of Notes. The Find, Find Next, Find Previous, and Find Selected Text commands all exist in the Edit>Find sub-menu but they're always disabled. Is there something wrong with my installation of Mountain Lion or are these commands always disabled? How can I enable these Find commands in Notes?
Entering text in the search sidebar filters the notes containing the text entered in the box, but it does not enable the Find commands nor highlight the text within the note. If you want to find the desired text within a very long note —and I'm sure we all have a few— you must copy the text into another application and use that application's Find command, make your changes, then paste the text back into the note.
My question still stands. How can I enable the Find command which exists in Notes but which is always disabled? Is this simply a feature that was planned but never implemented? If the command was never intended to work in Notes, why was it included in the menu? Finally, since the Find command is standard in every other text editor, why would it not be included in Notes?
As a Mac developer, I'm tempted to try and hack it into working, but I'd rather not have to. -
Hi All - sorry if this is in the wrong area but I'm alittle stuck. Recently sold my Macbook but forgot to disable the "Find my Device" on it. Now everytime I log into my icloud and look for my daughter (hmmm stalking her by tracking the phone LOL) if these new people have the mac turned on it pops back up. I've removed it a couple of times when it's been online but it keeps coming back.
Don't have any way to contact them ... how can I permanently remove it???
Thanks Heaps
SharenI believe that it is not very likely that the person that has bought your computer is using your iCloud account. It appears that by enabling find my Mac on the computer, this is somehow written to firmware, so that the Mac continues to be located by the find my Mac application even after the computer has been erased.
There is some evidence to show that when the person that has bought the computer enables find my Mac themselves that's it will then stop showing up in your find my Mac application. -
Can i get access to the find command in Word via activeX?
Does anyone know if it is possible to search through a word document using activeX commands from labview? Basically i need to use the "find" command from Word.
Thanks for your helpExcellent thanks a lot.
I've now got the search function working but im having a little trouble getting the results i want. What do you mean by "new selection"? is this the output refnum from the execute node?
Im looking to search through a word document for a certain paragraph number then highlight this paragraph in some way.
At present i have used your method to find the section number and then used a frame property on the output refnum followed by select method cascaded from this. This has the effect of selecting the number causing the word window to jump to the desired point but only the first line of the paragraph is shown because it places the found text at the bottom of the screen.
Do you have any suggestions as to how i could select the en
tire paragraph? I also cannot get any output from the select method in this way, am i using it incorrectly?
Thanks again for your time

LR V1.2 Having problems using the find Command
Have just recently started using lightroom and so far managing most applications imported a series of photos and after import added keywords to them using the find function I cannot get images to appear. What seems to happen is that in the keyword tag and the folders any of the headings that contain the keyword become active the remainder show a zero no in number of images held in that folder but no images on screen
can anyone assist me
Peterthanks for the reply
have switched of global filters, made sure that using the Find command have set keywords in "text box" and in the "rule box "contains". When I then enter a key word as soon as a type the first two or three letters
a message appears on the screen no "No photos in the selected keyword Tag" Also when you look at the folders which have a series of numbers indicating the photos in the directory the first number in each set turns to 0 with the exception of the folder and sub folder were the images are
So have not managed to make any progress

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."

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 :
main()
display dialog "Done"
on main()
script o
property patientSNP_list : {}
property relativeSNP_list : {}
property resultsList : {}
property copyAnswerList : {}
on findLookAtWhole(value) -- case sensitive
set {low, high} to {1, count my relativeSNP_list}
considering case
repeat while low ≠ high
set mid_ to (low + high) div 2
if value is in items low thru mid_ of my relativeSNP_list then
set high to mid_
else
set low to mid_ + 1
end if
end repeat
end considering
if (item low of my relativeSNP_list is value) then
set end of my resultsList to item low of my copyAnswerList
else
set end of my resultsList to {"no"}
end if
end findLookAtWhole

Lost my iphone and located it on the map, using the find a phone app. The second I had the location the phone went offline. Apparently, whoever has it knows how to disable the find a phone feature. Do I have any alternatives? Can AT&T or the police track the phone?
ATT won't unless they are asked to do so by the police and unless a major crime is involved, the police won't request this just for a stolen phone.
If the iPhone is running iOS 6, sounds like you didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled. Nothing prevents someone from powering the iPhone off and the same for removing the SIM card. -
Runtime Environment + Linux + the "find" command
Hi everybody,
I want to write a small program which makes it easy for me to use the find command with Linux. I have experience with Java but I have never used the runtime environment before. I am not sure how to best execute the "find" command. I tried this:
public static void main(String[] args)
String command = "find -name \"*\"";
execute(command);
private static void execute(String p_command)
// Show the executed command.
System.out.println(p_command);
// Get the runtime object and handle the command.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
try
// Execute the command.
Process proc = rt.exec(p_command);
// Show the output of the command.
InputStream stdin = proc.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stdin);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line = null;
System.out.println("<OUTPUT>");
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null) System.out.println(line);
System.out.println("</OUTPUT>");
// Show the exit value of the process.
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Could not excecute: " + p_command);
}This piece of code returns this:
find -name "*"
<OUTPUT>
</OUTPUT>
Process exitValue: 0This is not correct, because it should return something like this:
[jethro@laptop FindNix]$ find -name "*"

Best regards,
Jethro BorsjeIt looks like you doing all correctly. I don't know what does Runtime.exec() do with passed arguments, but if specify command in following way:
String command = "find -name *";
'find' executed through Runtime.exec() behaves as if it was executed from command line with arguments -name "*". -
Can I disable the "find iPhone" to restore the iPhone because I forgot the password
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. -
My iphone is disabled and have tried the only passcode I have, to no avail. Cannot turn off the Find Iphone because I can't get into my phone.
So, you're not talking about trying to turn on the iphone using your passcode, but are talking about the phone being disabled from having used Find My iPhone to put it in lost mode - right?
Read through this article to find if your device has an activation lock.

How can I disable the find bar, not only in textboxes
I started a Typecourse on Internet. I need the / -key in an exercise, but I do not type in an official textbox. Every time I use this key, the find box opens. How can I prevend that.
Is there a way to turn of the find box completely, or at least to change the short-keys for the find box?
I will have the same problem with the '-key soon.Thank you, Cor-el, that seems a sollution to my problem.
I tried to download the extension, but I don't seem to get it to work. Where do I save it and how can I make it installing itself?
I use Vista.
I am sorry, I have never done this before... :-) -

When I go to edit and click find no window opens and so I can not enter the word(s) that I am searching for on the webpage. The same result comes with using Ctrl+f. Infact, when I click on the edit menu, I noticed that Find is not followed by the usual .... Does that mean that the Find feature is not part of this newer version of Firefox and if so why?
If you use Edit > Find or Ctrl+F then you should see a Find bar at the bottom of the browser window. Current Firefox versions do not show a pop-up window.

How do I stop the Finder from seeing SMB (Windows) shares on the network?
I have the OPPOSITE problem most people have -- Windows Sharing works TOO WELL.
I've donated a refurbished eMac to the local homeless shelter. I figured I'd made the system secure, and prevented any monkey business. Turns out the windows machines on the network are COMPLETELY insecure (guest access to everything is enabled). The problem is that the Mac is TOO friendly -- it automatically connects to the server as a guest, and happily presents everything to the user.
I've tried a dozen different things (I've removed the 'Shared' section from the sidebar in the Finder windows (Go->Network is still there, Doh.), tried to turn off File Sharing, and even disabled the mount_smbfs command in the /sbin directory with "chmod 0 mount_smbfs".)
I've asked the folks there to call in a PC tech and fix their security problem -- but it's a good question to which I've found no suitable answer... How to I stop the Mac from connecting to SMB Shares on the local network?
Thanks.
-JD.Same problem, keep getting a pop up with connection failed you do not have permission to access the server. The server is a windows 7 box, Starting happening after an up grade to windows 7. Nowhere can I find how to stop trying to connect. I am sure its at the unix level of samba but what to do is another question
