Does this system even have a search function? Also, is there a way to not show account name?

Ugh, I just downloaded this yesterday, so I'm only really starting to try it out today and wow, did they want to copy off of microsoft or something with the search function? First they get rid of "by file name" for the search, and then search itself doesn't even work! Or at least, it doesn't show the files as it finds them.
The problem is, am I doing something wrong? Or is search just incredibly slow?
And my second question is, is there any way to get rid of your name in the top right corner? That is really creepy, you should not have to have your name there. Is there any way to hide it or should anyone just be able to tell who you are because you don't want to change your account name?

  • HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device.  I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages.  Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup.  If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
    If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

  • Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11.  I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies.

    Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11.  I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies. I even uninstalled and re-installed IE 11. It is still doing it.  I am surprized that a company like Adobe would just ignore our posts and leave us hanging this this.
    Error message is FAILED TO GET DISPATCH FROM IBRWSR2.  Then when you click on it the next error message says:  PHTML IS NULL. You have to click this error message twice and then the PDF finally loads. Happened every time
    Does anyone have a solution since Adobe will not respond?
    As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI.  Any ideas?

    It worked just fine for me.

  • I believe I might have a virus on my mac.  Mackeeper shows up 4 times on my download listings but there is no icon on my applications tab.  Does this mean I have installed some sort of problem on my computer now?

    Hello  Last night while watching a video on Facebook a pop up window said I had a virus and to clean it click on the link.  I did so and followed a prompt or 2 and then I thought this was a scam so I stopped.  However I looked at my download file and it shows Mackeeper listed 4 times.  Does this mean I have installed MacKeeper and if so does this mean I have installed some sort of malware/spyware or problems for my computer hence for myself. 
    Thank you for your help

  • Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance

    Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance

    You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
    So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
    You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
    Here's the link for the US.  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it.

  • I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone.  See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there?

    Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was  a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?

    1. No, you haven't.
    2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
    3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

    every time i click on a link another random link pops up in a new window. Does this mean i have a virus on my mac?

    No; it means that the computer has adware. Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.
