"Find" isn't working?

-I've installed recent updates today.
-I'm using CS5.5.
-I'm using Windows 7.
-My Computer is an Acer Aspire.
-I think I've already tried to recreating Flash Professional preferences; I did the Hot-Key combination, Windows asked me if I want Flash to make changes to my computer, and I let it.
So here's what I've got so far.
So apparently the Find and Replace box for .fla files can't find anything if I tell it to find anything over 1 line.
So, if I typed in
" (It's just the enter key pressed once)
And asked it to find all instances of that, it says no matches found, even though the .fla contains many instances of starting new lines within the ActionScript codes in specific frames of Movie Clips.
The same problem seems to happen with Tabs (" ").
Help?

Update: It seems like the Tab key is working fine.
Also, if I open up the ActionScript on a particular frame and edit it, the Find function now works, but only for that particular frame; it can't find instances of the enter key outside the code on that frame.

Browser 'find' isn't working. no popup appears for search criteria.

I often use the 'find' function on the browser to locate a phrase I may be looking for. It now just sits there when I press find on the menu. Nothing appears.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
It is possible that the screen is too high and that the find bar and status bar fall off at the bottom.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Drag and Drop isn't Working

For some reason drag and drop in the Finder isn't working. If I click on a file or folder it highlights, but when I hold the click and attempt to move it, it stays put. The cursor moves but it doesn't take the file or folder with it. So I can't reposition folders and I can't move them to other folders or the Desktop.

I restarted and the problem resolved itself. That's going to be a work around for others experiencing the issue but I'm not fully satisfied with that being the case. This only confirms there was some kind of bug in play and that the OS is vulnerable to these kind of issues. I'm hopefull Apple will look into this as one of Mac OS X's strongpoints is supposed to be its reliability.

Finder Doesn't Work At All!

Hello.
I have a Mac Pro (10.8.2). My finder isn't working at all. I click the icon on the dock, I click Command+N or even from the menu bar. It doesn't open at all. I can't even access the Library folder to delete the plst files.
I tried to login as a guest user, and it was working like a charm!
So could this be related to a third party application or something?

It could be.
Hold shift and boot the system. Keep shift held until you see the apple, gear, and a progress bar. Then, let it boot up. This will take you into safe mode, where login items are disabled. If everything works fine here, you can go to system preferences >> users and groups >> unlocked the lock in lower left >> click login items in the upper right-ish area. You could try removing any login items there.
Before you do that, though, if it does boot fine into safe mode and works there, you should be able to try removing the plist instead. In case you don't know, click the go menu >> hold option >> click library >> go to preference folder. You could remove the finder plist there, and may want to consider removing the sidebar plist along with desktop plist.

I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

Make sure you set the speakers as discoverable, which usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Go to System Preferences / Bluetooth and you should be able to add it.

I lost my iPhone so i want to close it by any way possible, there isn't a passcode and Find my iPhone isn't working, what can i do? help plz

zzz

What do you mean by Find my iPhone "isn't working?" As long as you enabled it, even if it's offline, you can go to http://icloud.com/find and remote lock or erase it. The actions will take effect when/if the phone comes online. That is the best you can do.

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?

Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?
I am trying this. Take an object, move it some inches on the right while holding the option key, so I duplicate it.
Usually, I pressed on command+d to duplicate this action on and on (duplicate the object and moving it some inches away), but now it is not working.
any idea?

kwakoo,
It may be time for the list:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

I just downloaded iOS 6 to my iPhone 4 and all-of-sudden, the camera on the back of my phone isn't working. Anyone know how to fix this?

The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?

Mail search isn't working. Help!

Mail search isn't working (I'm running 10.5.8). It will search Subject/From/To, but searching 'Entire message' brings no results. This is a disaster. Tried reindexing Spotlight, but that didn't work. Any ideas gratefully received!

It does sound like a Spotlight indexing problem, has it had time to finish indexing?
In the meantime, it won't be as fast searching for content, but I'd get EasyFind...

Ai changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud ccount because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

i changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud account because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT5655 The new Flash installer from Adobe still isn't working, right?

The new Flash installer from Adobe still isn't working, right? We get the "installation failed" messages, and we're awaiting Adobe's follow-up on it?

Adobe Acrobat 8 has two problems on my iMac. The lesser problem comes when I go into the Print command and click "Preview." I get a message that says that Preview isn't supported.
Preview is not supported because building a preview of a print job under OS X involves creating a .PDF file. You already have a .PDF file open if you're using Acrobat, so there's no point creating a new one.
The greater problem just cropped up as I was writing about my problems with Quicktime and Real Player: Acrobat tried to update itself and then gave me a message that says, "Cannot overwrite file /Users/(myname)/Documents/Update5/AdobeUpdater/acrobat8pro-en_US/AUMProduct.dmg .
That's not a problem with Acrobat. The system is saying that you have a file named AUMProduct.dmg in place already, and you don't have permission to update it. You need to change the permissions on that file so that you can update it, or to use an account which has update permission. Or it might just be locked and you need to unlock it. Locate it using the Finder (you have the complete path to the file listed above) and see what permissions are on the file and whether or not it is locked.
You might also just put the entire Update5 folder into the Trash and try updating again.
The file maybe be locked or you may not have sufficient access rights. Please make sure you have write access to this file." Can anyone help? Thanks.
