Find Bar (Crtl F) issue. Bar keeps clearing itself before i finish typing what i want.?

When there is a word on the screen that matches what i type (Eg: What), it automatically clears the bar and usually jump straight onto google search bar or the URL bar halfway through a word, so i'd be typing there all of a sudden, rather than staying on the Find Bar until i press enter to search.
I have not done anything except upgrade from 3.6 to 4. It is consistantly like this. with no exception. The best i can do is get a word typed. Does anyone know whats wrong?

Are you using the Default Theme? ''If not, switch to the Default Theme.''
If it isn't a problem with a 3rd party Theme, try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match. iTunes is trying to match and upload songs not purchased from the iTunes store; however, it keeps shutting down before it finishes. Has this happened to anyone else?

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match. iTunes is trying to match and upload songs not purchased from the iTunes store; however, it keeps shutting down before it finishes.

Turn off iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows) then quit iTunes. Open it after a few seconds, and turn iTM back on.

My ht-ct80 sound bar keeps turning itself off every 15min.

4 days ago I bought a htct80 sound bar and it keeps turning itself off every 15min. I serched the internet for a solution to no avail. So I need a answer from sony. Its a great sound bar while its on. Please give me a solution or i will have to take it back for a refund this weekend. If anyone else is having this ptoblem. And i know there are many please reply to this post. The more that reply the more likely we will get a rwsponse from sony.

Hello everyone,
The Sound Bar turning off every 15minutes is related to the Auto Standby function due to the Sound Bar not receiving an input signal. Unfortunately, there are two conditions where the sound bar will recieve a low input signal that results in the Auto Standby triggering incorrectly.
The first case is when the TV’s headphone jack serves as an audio output jack. This is not a recommended method for Audio Input for the Soundbar. If you are using this method, check the TV’s audio output settings. For details, refer to the TV’s operating instructions. If you can not change audio output setting, set up TV volume which is strong enough to prevent it from entering Standby mode.
The second case is when you are using a set-top box (Cable box) that has a volume setting. You can either change the Audio Settings on the set-top box for Fixed Audio Out (if available) or increase the volume on the set top box(Cable box) to maximum setting and then adjust the volume on the Sound Bar itself to obtain the desired actual volume.
Thank you,
---Chris

Is anybody's finder bar keep reloading by itself? Started to happen after software update on Lion OSX

After I did a software update on Lion, the finder taskbar has been reloading itself on its own. The icons disappear and load back up again!! HELPPPP!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do I keep the find bar open when scrolling through multiple tabs?

The newest update of Firefox doesn't allow me to keep the find bar open when shifting through multiple tabs. I've tried Findbar tweak however that erases the search criteria as soon as I try to scroll down the page to the next location. Anyone know how to keep the find bar open when i shift from one tab to the next?

There is a more up-to-date "beta" version of FindBar Tweak you could try, if you haven't tested it already. You can find it on the extension's "Versions" page here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak/versions/
I did see one other extension with a similar purpose (I haven't tried it myself):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/globalfindbar/

Keep the find bar open

I would like to keep the find bar at the bottom of the page permanently available. Is there a way to do this?

HT6065 after the update, my time, name, etc - all disappeared from the right upper finder bar. Anyone else have this issue?

after the update, my time, name, etc - all disappeared from the right upper finder bar. Anyone else have this issue?

First, make sure they are all still enabled in the respective System Preferences.
If the are, then do you have any third-party menu extras? They will often interfere with the others if they are not compatible.

Whenever i open Firefox i cant type anything because the "find" bar at the bottom alwayse pops up. How can i remove that or fix this issue?

So like I said, Everytime I open firefox as soon as I open a tab the "find" bar automatically pops up and I cant type. It wont let me close it at all. Ive searched everywhere to see if I can disable it from automatically coming up but came up empty. Ive reset everything back to is "original" settings but that didn't work either.

Have you had this problem for some time or did it just start recently?
This occurs with an empty new tab (Ctrl+t) or with any new tab (e.g., including clicking a link)?
Is the bar labeled Find or Quick Find?
Find: This bar can be opened using Ctrl+f, but obviously you are not typing Ctrl+f.
Quick Find: The shortcut to open this bar is a / character. Firefox also has an option to open the Quick Find bar as soon as you type ''any'' character. (See: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption#w_accessibility Accessibility options]) But this is turned off by default, and it doesn't sound as though you are typing a character when this happens.
Hmmm... by default, if the cursor is in either bar, it can be closed by pressing the Esc key. But I suppose that isn't working either (or it reopens very quickly).
If you view the Add-ons page, do you have any extensions?

Missing clock, volume etc in top finder bar amongst other issues in Snowlep

Hello Guys,
I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there is a resolution.
a) in my finder bar at the top the clock and everything is invisible, when I try to change any settings for this finder crashes and when they do decide to be visible I cannot do anything with them as the color wheel is present when I scroll over them.
b) My battery is lasting about 20 minutes, I had a new battery, charger and connections under my apple care within the last 12 months and now it is telling me battery needs to be replaced.
c)When my battery is clost to dead the warning that comes up flashes every 10 seconds regardless whether I tell it to or not and is drinving me insane.
any thoughts on any of these?
Thanks for your thoughts guys and gals

Go to /username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ and move the com.apple.windowserver.XXXXXX.plist files to the Desktop, log out and back in, and those items should be displayed. If so, delete the moved plist files.

My imac menu bar keeps flashing

my mac os x menu bar keeps flashing. i cant even click on them cos it keeps appearing and dissapering. any help please

First you must figure if this is a system issue or user issue. IF you can, create a Test User. If the test user is affected Reset the NVRamm (Hold Command,Option, P, and R upon restart until you hear a second start up chime).
Repair disk in disk utility boot to The Mac osx install disk (hold C with the disk in upon restart. On the toolbar go to utilies and run disk repair on macHD). and repair permissions too
If that fails an Archive and install is an inconvient option
If its a user specific it can be more complicated an Archive and Install may not. I would try pulling out the Com.apple.Example.plist files (They are found in (homeuser)/library/prefrences
i would try finder plist first then maybe even all of them if it comes down to it.

ITunes Freezes and Locks Up Finder Bar

occassionally, iTunes app freezes and causes the Finder bar to freeze as well (clock freezes and I get the beach ball). I have to logout to fix the problem. I've tried trashing the clock file in the Library but that hasn't fixed the problem. Any other advice????
Thanks!

JAS hello,
sounds like you may have some file issues that need
addressing....
Shut down and restart your computer with the Command
key and the letter 's' depressed.
At the prompt type or copy and paste (don't forget
the space)
/sbin/fsck -fy
hit return key and wait for all clear to be displayed
then type.
reboot
hit return key
Check the pemissions are set
correct on the Apple installed software...
use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities >
select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions...
if repairs are needed run again until none are
repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are
using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit
when finished.
Use
BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home
~ Music folder
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a
'terminal command line'
drag the complete Music folder with libraries
and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon
and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already....
Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and privileges' tick
'Unlock" ... click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
come back and let me know how it all goes now ... TP
iMac 800MHz PowerPC G4
17 Flat Screen. G4 iBook. Mac OS X (10.4.3)
TP:
I got everything done except the BatCHmod. I'm not familiar with this command and I don't know where the icon is - please provide more specific information.
Thanks,
JAS

Having problem with display of full name in finder bar!

As shown in the image above, my full name in finder bar is not showing properly. When I select 'icon' from system preferences it shows correctly, but when I select full name or short name, it touches the top.
Help me fixing this issue!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in as yourself. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Test again. Same problem now?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Programs have started to shut down my finder bar (iPhoto, iTunes, Photobooth) and now it happens when I try to access my iPhone4 in iTunes. I have a Black Macbook running 10.5.8

I have a black Macbook running 10.5.8. A while ago iPhoto stopped opening. Time Machine also stopped working properly- it would back up for about 10 gB and then would stop. Photobooth also then began to stop working correctly; it would make my finder bar disappear if I opened it requiring me to shut down the computer and restart. Last week when I went to sync my iPhone4 the same thing happened. Last night I couldn't even open my iPhone4 in iTunes when I tried, closing iTunes and removing the finder bar again. I have been to the Genius Bar and it appears that my harddrive is okay. I have repaired permissions but still this keeps happening. Any ideas on what to do?

Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
See: Capacity
Before deleting anymore files, verify the startup disk.
Open Disk Utility /Applications/Utilites
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions).
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.
If the startup disk is ok, try installing the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
that I can't access my app store to set it up.
Just so you are aware, you use iTunes to sync, restore, and backup an iPhone, not the App Store for Mac OS X.

As of Firefox 21,pressing Ctrl+F slides in the find bar into view.What should I change in about:config to revert it back and make it popup instantaneously?

The question pretty much sums up what I want to ask. Thank you very much for any and all help.
I know this is not the place to rant but I think this needs to be said - Why do you(firefox devs) guys keep on changing things that were perfectly fine in the first place? For example, making the find bar slide in and out of view may "look cool" but it consumes more system resources(albeit very very little) than making it appear instantaneously(the way it was previously).

This is done via CSS transitions: chrome://global/skin/findBar.css
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Using_CSS_transitions
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
