Find beeps but doesn't find

Hi,
Find quit working on BBEdit and they don't know why. So I copy some code to textEdit and try find there but it does not find either.
Any body know why find might not be able to find anything? It used to go to the correct location and highlight the text but now it just beeps and does nothing else.
Thanks,
Garrett

I associate this problem with setting up Automator to open, find and replace but can't swear to it.
Any help appreciated.
Garrett

My caller id is not working on iphone 5 - it beeps but doesn't show who is calling or let me click over

I have recently had my iphone 5 not show who is calling on call waiting. The phone beeps but doesn't show the number / per son that is calling, won't let me click over and won't show who it was in my call history. Help very annoying.

1st go into your settings then tap phone to see if call waiting is turned on or off. If call waiting isOFF turn it ON. You can use also Apple article HT 4515. I would contact my wireless carrier reguarding the caller id not showing up and also with help reguarding your call waiting as well
Hope this helps

I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica client but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?
When I installed firefox, it asked if I wanted to use safari settings and I said yes but I think this might be causing the problem. Safari is no longer compatible with citrix ica client. When I reinstalled firefox it automatically installs the safari info. Does anyone know how to re-install firfox without installing safari info?

Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?

Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
doubt there's an issue there.

I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
(and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
Thanks....

"Find my iPhone" doesn't find itself.

Hello,
first of all I want to excuse for my English skills and any mistakes in this text - I'm from Germany and still learning
But let's get to my problem:
As the headline says, the "Find my iPhone"-App. doesn't find my devices. It doesn't even find itself:
As you can see in the top bar I'm connected to my Wi-Fi network and of course to the internet.
As an additional information I want to say that it worked in the past - but I cannot tell you when or why it stopped.
I hope you got some ideas how to fix it for me.
Sincerely,
Jörg

Of course I tried locating it per web.
But fortuitously I found the solution today after waking up: There was a little switch at Settings -> iCloud -> Find my iPhone turned off. Now that I turned it on it works !
But thanks for all your quick replys anyway !!
Have a nice week.
Jörg

"Find my iPhone" doesn't find my MBP

When I run "Find My iPhone", it finds my iPhone and my iPad, but not my MacBook Pro. It lists it, but then says "No location available". But it's powered up and online. Is there something I need to do tomake the MBP findable?

You might want to ask in the Mac forums instead of the iPhone forums.
If the MBP is using a wired connection to the Internet, it will not be findable. It must be on WiFi.

When I launch I photo it wants me to choose a library but it doesn't find one which is impossible, because i still have no storage. before i can clean up i want to back up them. how can i find my library?

You may very well have damaged your library - or even your system by not having adaquate storage available
And never select all of the pitcture and move them - that will destroy your library - the iPhotolibrary is a SQLite database and must always be kept intact as a single entity -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

TS3276 The Finder doesn't find ~/Library/Mail, or even "library". I need to do some experimenting to get my mail back and want to back up but can't even find a file with my messages in it.

Trying to save my email prior to a wave of experimentation to get email working again but finder doesn't find "library". Has the library been omitted from Mountain Lion?

Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
After that you can drag it to your sidebar for easy access.

Disk Utility says everything's fine, but Install disk doesn't find my internal drive as a possible destination. When I startup with Command S, I get a looping "cannot mount errno = 19" message.

Disk Utility says everything's fine, but Install disk doesn't find my internal drive as a possible destination. When I startup with Command + S, I get a looping "cannot mount errno = 19" message.
Problem started when I used Tech Tool Pro 6 to "de-fragment volume". Had to cancel that process before it finished because I ran out of time. Thereafter, when I startup my machine normally, I get the gray Apple logo at first, but it changes to a prohibited symbol (circle with a slash thru it) and hangs.
When I startup holding the Option key, I can see my internal drive, but I get the same results as above.
When I startup using the MacBook OSX Install DVD, it does not find my internal drive as possible destination.
When I startup using the MacBook OSX Install DVD and then run Disk Utility, it finds my drive, allows me to "repair" and says everything is fine.
When I startup with Command + S, I get a looping error message "errno = 19" and cannot stop it to do anything else.
When I startup from Disk Warrior v4.4, it does not find my internal drive to do any repairs.
When I startup from Tech Tool Pro 6 and run the "computer check" diagnostics, everything passes but the Volume Structure, which fails at "Volume Extents (B-tree)." When I use TTP's "Tools" option to run "volume repair" it will show my internal drive and allow me to click the GO button, but nothing happens and nothing changes.
I have a Time Machine backup on an external USB drive, but for as long as the internal drive doesn't mount, I can't use the backup to restore.

It's a false report and should be ignored.
I would not rely on TT as I've already said earlier even before Grant posted similar advice.
I really think the Rigid Disk Block may be corrupted. This holds the partition map and could prevent a volume from being unmounted. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix that without repartitioning the drive which will remove everything. So, before going down this road I hope you have backups or can make a backup.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X.
5. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8 I need a portable external harddrive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6. Is there a suitable hard drive?

I need a portable external hard drive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6. Is there a suitable hard drive? I'm not very technical and wouldn't know how to do any formatting so I want it to be very basic so that I can just plug it in. 500GB should be more than adequate.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

My external drive mounts but doesn't show in Finder anymore?

I was accessing my iMac external backup drive over the network from my laptop and it suddenly greyed out. Going to my iMac I discoverd that the drive was mounted according to Disk Utility and my backup utility could find it but it doesn't show on my desktop or the sidebar of the Finder window. I can access it thru the Go to Folder menu item. I can then drag items to it but can't save items to it directly since it doesn't show up in Finder. I have checked Finder preferences, restarted the iMac, dismounted (in Disk Utility) and remounted it. I've also eliminated it in Sharing system preferences. No luck on all counts. I connected it to the laptop and it behaves the same way. Doing a Google search turned up the possiblity that it has become "invisible" but I'm confused as to how to change this attribute. I'm hoping there is a simple Terminal command I can use.
Looking for some help here!

Yes I did Eric. Then just found the answer. Volume became hidden and I used a Terminal command.
Thank you for reading my question and suggesting a solution!

My Itunes account tells me i need to update it to version 10.6.1, but when I click download and the computer (mac 2007) goes to the "checking for softwares" page it doesn't find the update?

my Itunes account tells me i need to update it to version 10.6.1, but when I click download and the computer (mac 2007) goes to the "checking for softwares" page it doesn't find the update? Help me please, what do I do?

Try updating to 10.6.3.25.
A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

Disk works, but doesn't show in Finder?

I have a fully functioning disk in my PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5GHz machine, yet it doesn't always show up in the Finder. I cannot add it to the Sidebar, and yet mostly it shows in the list when I select my computer's icon. It is shaded, however, not solid like the other disk's icon. This is the second internal drive, a relatively new drive which apart from this anomaly has caused no problems. Disk Utility sees it fine, and a Repair Disk finds nothing.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
I have had some sporadic permissions problems here and there since I installed Leopard. Something went a little awry during the install, and even after a complete reinstall, I still had to restore certain data from backups, so one possibility might be some incorrect permissions somewhere. Repair Permissions on the bootup drive doesn't find anything though.
I have 10.5.4 installed (this option isn't in the dropdown for OS).

It turns out that I misread the manpage. The '@' after the permissions doesn't mean soft link, but rather extended attributes. Using 'ls -lO' I could see that a "hidden" extended attribute had been added, which I was then able to remove by logging in as administrator, and typing 'sudo chflags nohidden Data', in the specific case of my Data drive.

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal. Any ideas? I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong! I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
Thanks!

The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.
