Find bar doesn't find all instances

Title says it all, really. When I look for text it isn't always found. See the image which is from http://www.hsqldb.org/doc/guide/databaseobjects-chapt.html#dbc_common_elements

I get 4 results when I search for ''<identifier>'' on that web page.

If i neglect to create a mobile account when first signing in, finder bar doesn't display

I have a fairly large office environment with hundreds of Macs that are connected to our Active Directory managed domain. Sometimes a new user will try to log in to a machine for the first time but if they neglect to create a mobile account, the finder bar doesn't display properly at the top of the desktop. It will appear briefly when something is clicked on the dock but will disappear again as soon as the desktop or anything else is clicked. It doesn't even appear when Finder is clicked on the dock. What's more, when mobile account isn't created, the user account doesn't appear in System Preferences> Users & Groups so a mobile account can't be created after the fact, nor can the user account be deleted in order to start from scratch. This will happen regardless of the OS version, between 10.6 and 10.9. The only solution I've found is a complete rebuild of the OS on the computer in question which I can't do every time someone doesn't know to choose creation of a mobile account.
Has anyone else run into this? And if so, what solutions have you found?
Thanks.

Hi Russ!
Apparently you already configured your account but you don't have nor the key or the password. You can get the password in the [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot following link] but you would need the Sync Key to sync your device to the rest of your devices.
If you don't have the Sync Key the best thing you can do is to reset it, by deleting the previous account and creating a new one with the same user. You can perform this tasks from your [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ account dashboard].

Find palette doesn't find the IPCT category field

I have all my pictures by categories and suplemental categories. The "find" tool doesn't find anything if for example I type ARC (architecture), no matter if I select containing, containing all, starting or all metadata, all, etc... It seems that it doesn't search in some IPCT fields, at least in the category and suplemental category.

You are right. "find" will find IPTC entries in caption, say, but not in category. I guess it's like EXIF, where it's only make, model, serial number, artist, and software.

Find command doesn't find embedded string, only initial string

iMac 5K, Yosemite
In Safari and Preview, I note a change from earlier versions. When I use the cmd-F Find command to search the contents of a page or document, it finds only cases where the search string is at the beginning of a word, not when it is in the middle. This can be really a problem for some kinds of searches, for example when you know the root word but can't anticipate all of the prefixes that could be used in the document.
Silly example: search for "fringe" does not find the word "infringement".
This is really disconcerting, especially as it marks a big invisible change over how string searching has worked since time immemorial (try searching for "memorial". Hah.)
I don't see any preference that would let me specify what kind of searching I want to do. There needs to be at least a preference. Or a big warning that says, oh by the way, just because you didn't find it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

Did you read my hint at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080229204517495 ?

Mavericks Finder Find File doesn't find files in [Root]/Library

I wanted to put the "Epson Printer Utility 4" application in my dock bar. So in Finder, I selected File > Find, and set it to "Name" "begins with" "Epson Printer". Mavericks found the "Epson Printer Finder" application in [Root] / Applications / Epson Software, but it did not find "Epson Printer Utility 4" in [Root] / Library / Printers / EPSON / InkjetPrinter2 / Utility / UT4. As a test, I also tried File > Find for the "World Clock" widget in [Root] / Library / Widgets - also not found. Both files are fully visible to me, and I have have Admin privileges. I set my Finder preferences to "Search This Mac" when performing a search. I can't find any other preference to have Mavericks really, truly search ALL of This Mac, including the root directory folders. Any help? Thanks, Peter

Download and run Find Any File to search for the file by Name contains "xxxx".
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.

Finder copy doesn't copy all files

I have a dedicated disk for my Aperture masters, and to back this up while also defragging (according to a method described by Kevin J Doyle and Matthew Bergsma on the Aperture forum) I'm simply doing a Finder copy of the masters. I may have made a mistake when I relocated my masters a few months ago, because I put all 40,000 files in a single directory, at the "root" level of the drive.
I've searched around to see if there is a limit to the number of items in a single directory, and saw guesses but nothing definitive.
The problem is that when I try to copy the files, the Finder shows all 40,000 selected, but only copies 10,000 or so. I can't figure out why. If needed I can relocate the masters again into project folders, but I'm very curious why I'm seeing the partial copy.

I've got the same problem when copying multiple large files from the desktop to a network drive on Windows Home Server (using drag/drop). The files are about 1gb each, and if I copy more than one at a time, at least one will dissapear on the target machine. This is VERY repeatable.
When I watch it closely, I can see temporary files for all files appear, and the number of items, and the total size reported in the copy status on the Mac are correct. In fact, it takes about the correct amount of time for the total size copied. However, when the copy is complete, some of the files on the target drive vanish. There is no error dialog, files just go poof. Dragging the missing files again works, as long as no more than one is copied at a time.
A test with a few small files works fine. This only fails with large files. The total copied is less than 2gb, so this doesn't seem to be a FAT32 problem. There is ample space on the destination drive (over 1Tb free). The Mac is on a wireless 802.11N lan.

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?

Installer doesn't detect all instances

I have 2 separate Oracle 8.0.5.1 instances running on a RedHat
6.0 server (2.2.10ac12). During the installation of 8i, the
Universal Installler detects only one of the databases, not both.
Both databases are the result of my own doing. Both instances
were created using essentially the same procedures. When I
installed 8.0.5, I chose custom install, and selected NOT to
create the sample database.
I'd like the installer to see all the instances so I can perform
the upgrade to all of them (AFTER I'm conviced it'll work). Right
now it sees only my production database, not my test db.
Does anyone know what the installer means by, "The Oracle
Universal Installer detected the databases listed below as
registered on your compute"? How does a database get "registered"
on a Linux box?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
null

A database is "registered" if there's an entry for it in
/etc/oratab. Plain and simple.
Sorry to bother you all.

Find file doesn't find and doesn't finish

With no significant events leading to the issue, ⌘F will search but never finds anything and never stops searching. Disk Utility verifies the startup volume, no problems found. Repaired permissions, still Find File will not work. Any suggestions?

Try resetting or redoing the Spotlight files with Spotless...

A Problem with the Quick Find Bar

Hi,
I’ve added the following line to userChrome.css, and FF opens the Quick Find Bar with the ‘Find Next’ and ‘Find Previous’ buttons.
.findbar-container > * { display:-moz-box !important; }
With Those buttons, there isn’t enough space in the Quick Bar, and when the description ‘End of Page’ (etc) shows – it is only partially displayed.
How do I change the label text from ‘Quick Search:’ to ‘Find:’?
And apropos the Find Bar.
I have a toolbar button which toggles the Find Bar on and off.
I’d like that button to be checked when the Find Bar is visible, and unchecked when it is hidden.
I’ve added the following line to an xul file, and it works perfectly.
<command id="cmd_find" oncommand="gFindBar.onFindCommand();
setFindCkeckState();"/>
For some reason, FF ignores the "cmd_findClose" id.
<command id="cmd_findClose" oncommand="gFindBar.close(); setFindCkeckState
();"/>
Why? Is it possible to add an Event Listener for the Find bar being opened or closed?
Can I check and uncheck that button in a css file? (That would be better).
Thanks.

I use this command in a PrefBar button to toggle the Find bar on/off
<pre><nowiki>if (gFindBar.hidden) gFindBar.onFindCommand(); else gFindBar.close();</nowiki></pre>

Preview Doesn't Find All Searched Text in PDFs

I downloaded a PDF copy of my home insurance policy and I had it opened in Preview. The pages are displayed in the side bar. When I type in a search query such as "building" or "personal" or "dwelling" it doesn't find all occurrences if any yet I know there should be plenty of hits.
I guess I can try Adobe Acrobat.
Thanks for any advice.

Snow Leopard finder doesn't list all files on Windows 7 volumes

From my Macbook Pro (10.6.8), I can connect to my Mac Pro, while it is running Windows 7 in Boot Camp, in order to access the Mac Pro's 6 volumes (1 Boot Camp, 5 Mac volumes). This is using SMB via Finder's 'Connect to server…' on an Airport network.
However, Finder never displays all the files and folders on any of the Mac volumes it connects to through Windows 7. It seems to show approximately the first 18-9 files and folders, and then nothing. The same applies when I open a nested folder — it doesn't list all of its contents.
Any ideas as to what's causing this and how I can fix it? I have searched all over but can't find any answers yet, so I'm hoping someone here has seen this before.

Thanks for the reply, but I do have the Restore Windows box checked (see below). And the Resume features info (cnet link) only addresses how to turn the feature off, either selectively or globally. I'm simply looking for the functionality that I had with Snow Leopard and now seems to be absent. Maybe it's a bug in my Finder.

Since updating my iPad 2 to ios8, it safari has been slow and crashing and some of the apps acting wierd. The password app doesn't work at all so had to find another way of retrieving all my passwords. Very very dissapointing

Hi erastyle,
Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

Please let us know if it helps.

Finder doesn't show all files

When I add new photos to iPhoto, they do not appear as a file or item in Finder Documents list. I thought Finder was supposed to show all files and items that you create?

santra, use EasyFind or Find File instead. BY default, Apple's own Finder/spotlight doesn't search everywhere and doesn't find everything (Mac fanboys will tell you this is a feature and is so intelligent that some people can't understand how smart it is; I prefer to think of it as a defect).
Easyfind is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707
Find File is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10906315
I hope this helps you to find all your stuff.
