Finder has stopped finding anything
The finder no longer returns any results whatsoever when I do a search. I have searched for things whose location I am sure of in order to test this; same thing happens. Could this have anything to do with preferences?
G5 Dual-Core PPC
10.5.8
6 GB RAM
oh, never mind----went to Spotlight settings and removed things that had ended up on the do not search list. The Spotlight settings had been temporarily changed because I was experimenting with installing Pro Tools. Kind of a dodgy relationship, Pro Tools and Mac, I 'm told. maybe this is why....

MY envy 5330e has stopped printing anything from online sources.
MY envy 5330e has stopped printing anything from online sources but will print from on board documents or pictures.
Hey @youngfmly,
Because your HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer is producing blank prints from three computers when printing from the the internet I'm wondering if there may actually be a hardware ink system issue occuring. I understand that this may sound odd as everything else appears to print fine. However, when printing from your computers colour ink is used to enrich the black ink when printing in certain programs. Primarily when the computer 'sends' the print job to the printer as an image file. Therefore, just to ensure that your printers ink system is functioning properly, I am going to have you print a standalone Print Quality Report.
How to Print the Quality Report:
Load plain white paper in the paper tray.
On the printer control panel, touch the Settings icon (), and then touch Tools. The Tools Menu displays.
Touch Print Quality Report. The printer prints the test page.
If this report prints perfectly: Than the issue that you're experiencing is not related to the printer. Rather, there is likely a setting that still needs to be checked under Google Chrome. If your modem/router was causing this issue all prints would be affected.
If this report prints with quality defects or missing colours: Than the Google Chrome printing issue that you're experiencing is being caused by your printer. To resolve this print system issue can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please run through Solution six, Solution seven, and Solution eight. This includes any sub-steps under the listed Solutions.
Please let me know the result of printing this standalone Quality Report. I look forward to hearing from you!

Has anyone heard definitely that Apple has stopped supporting anything but IOS 7 for FaceTime?
Has anyone heard definitely that Apple has stopped supporting anything but IOS 7 for FaceTime?
No such announcement has been made.
From the various posts on the forums, it seems users on various devices and versions of iOS are having issues, even those with iOS 7.

My 5S iphone has suddenly stopped syncing anything except Apps. I have selected the music tab in i tunes and asked for it to sync entire music library but all I get is a message looking for which Apps to sync and after a brief time it stops doing any syncing at all. Consequently a new playlist I added to i tunes on my computer has not migrated to the iphone. This has never been an issue before so I'm a bit lost to know what to do.
Under the Music tab is the "Sync Music" checkbox ticked? Beneath that have you defined what music you want to sync?

All of a sudden my printer has stopped printing anything in microsoft word. i
My HP Photosmart Plus printer quit working with microsoft word. I have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions and nothing works. I don't know why it stopped working. Any suggestions?
Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model - there are several Photosmart Plus models? What operating system? What version of Word?
When you try to print from Word are there any error messages? Does the printer go through the motions but print blank pages?
The following may help in troubleshooting print quality issues. If printing a test page indicates black is not printing properly and the troubleshooting steps fail then the following page may help.

Internet Browser has stopped working.
The browser on my blackberry has stopped loading anything and i can't get onto any websites, any advice?
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Automatically add to itunes folder has stopped working
Possibly since the recent update to itunes 10.2.1, the automatically add to itunes folder has stopped doing anything. I put music in it and then run itunes. The music stays in that folder and isn't added to the library. Has this feature been disabled? Am I missing something? Previously was working absolutely fine.
Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
It still works for me. Double check that your "iTunes Media" folder in preferences matches the folder containing the *Automatically add to iTunes* folder in question. Failing that there could be a permissions problem. Make sure both your account (or Everyone) and SYSTEM have full access to the iTunes folder and all objects below it.

Firefox has stopped working altogether (Windows 7). It will NOT start. The spinning start up graphic will spin for a moment, and quit. I have uninstalled everything that I could find to uninstall, and then re-installed, but to no avail. I have followed the currently posted suggestions with out success. Any other suggestions?

'''Windows:''' C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem."
I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.

How do I find hidden files on my iMac? My iTunes has stopped playing music and videos - the playbar does not progress, and it may be that there is a plug-in that is stopping it. How do I fix it?
Well, it sort of solved my problem. Now every time I start a lecture with sound, there is no sound, but the slides advance. If I go back to iTunes and turn on a cd, it plays the sound. If I then go back to the lecture, the sound goes on. So each time I start a slide show with sound, I have to turn on iTunes. How can I fix this?

I get a message that itunes has stopped working. When I check out why it is because of the dep security on my computer. When I try to find the program for itunes for the .exe file i cannot find it to turn off the dep for that file
I found the file but when I added it to the list for the Data Execution Program to ignore , I received a message that the Program.x86/itunes file must have the DEP on in order to run. Anyone else having this problem ?

iTunes stops working. The message says iTunes has stopped working due a problem to the program. How do I find a solution?
Hey there Warrior41,
it sounds like you are unable to use iTunes because it either will not launch without this error, or you get the error when you are using it. Sorry to hear about that, that can be pretty aggravating. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with opening iTunes in Safe Mode and see if the issue persists. If not, the article will help you troubleshoot for 3rd party plugins that may be causing it:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
If that doesn't resolve the issue there are additional steps in the article if needed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
