How can I narrow down results when I use 'command f' or 'spotlight' ?

When I use 'command f' or 'spotlight'  I can be very specific with what i'm looking for and I will get soooo many results that the search is almost not worth it.

  • How can I narrow down what's causing CRC errors over internet downloads?

    I'm trying to determine if its something wrong with my hardware configuration, my software or my actual internet connection that is giving me trouble.  
    Recently with my new build I am noticing all my downloads being large or small ending up either not fully downloaded or just full with CRC errors.  
    I'm not even sure where to begin as I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a few days and it just seems to keep getting worse.  
    My initial problem was the new nforce ide drivers that didn't quite gel with my optical drives.  I ended up unstalling the ide drivers and my optical drives worked correctly again.  (problem with optical drive was when you put a dvd writer (lite on 411s) in the system would freeze and not play the movie until the disk was ejected - then everything would return to normal)
    After trying to find a fix or someway to get the drivers to work I started to notice I had trouble downloading large files off news servers.  For the past 3 days I just downloaded random stuff that looked to be complete as in all the files were there with pars.  I download the files and the winrar gives me crc errors and the pars say the files are incomplete.  
    Then I start to try to download any large file off the internet - game demos mostly off gamespy.com and the downloads just stop midway.  
    All these problems just started to add up and I'm having a hard time trying to narrow down and knock off what it is and what not.  
    Basically to start is there a way I can see if it's something related to my ide drivers, aspi drivers, internet connection, cable problem etc.  Please help, it's driving me nuts.  =)
    System
    AMD 64 3000+
    PQI Turbo 1 gig
    Neo K8n Platinum (Bios 1.4)
    Lite on DVD
    Lite on 411s DVD writer

    Help me please..  

    Are you running xp sevice pack 2?  I was having issues with having to refresh my browser several times to get a page to load,   and downloads sometimes stopped.
    I downloaded the following sp2 patch from microsoft and it fixed the refresh issues,
    http://www.winnetmag.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/44014/windowspaulthurrott_44014.html
    If you are browsing while the download runs,  it could be sp2's new 10 connection limit.   I tweaked it to 50 connections and fixed ie stalling when loading long forum pages with alot of signatures present.  (I tweaked it with xp-anti spy)
    Can you tell Im guessing?
    Possibly a bad ide or sata cable?
    Have you tried running memtest to test for errors?   I prefer goldmemory as I believe it is more sensitive to errors with an a64.   It found errors memtest didnt.
    This system is giving you a much harder time than it should.  Maybe you have a flaky board or memory errors.
    good luck at any rate.  (p.s. its 3 am here,  couldnt sleep,  prob not making alot of sense at this point.  lol)

  • How can I shut down iPhoto when unresponsive?

    I have received a pop up window that "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work  with this version of iPhoto" as I attempted to download a photo from Facebook. I attempted to opt to "Quit" this option seeing as I did not plan to available as this update was being performed. I clicked onto the "Quit" button and now iPhoto is frozen, pinwheel reeling, cannot Quit iPhoto, no force quit option available. Afraid to turn off the computer (running Lion OSX) in case my photo library will become corrupted. Help! How do i shut down this app safely????

    Thank you, i will try this option. Only thing is i did read another person having this problem and he did shut down his computer and now his photo library in unaccessible!!! Ugh. I do have an external back up hard drive. I sure hope that my photos are on there to reload into iPhoto!!!!
    I did try to place my mouse over the iPhoto icon @ the dock and held down the control key with no results in shutting down the application.

  • How can I work with lightroom when I use two computers ?

    I am new to Lightroom and work with a laptop at home and a PC at work. Before I started to use LR3 I simply duplicated my pic files onto both machines, edited on whichever machine I wanted and then synchronised the folders. This system provided me with a working copy at either home or work and also a backup copy on the other machine.
    I would like to operate the same system with LR3 but am unable to figure it out due to the automatic filing system used by the programmme to seperate the raw files and the instructions for those files.
    Can anyone provide me with simple step by step instructions on how to transfer the files/instructions by using  a flash drive and "Copy and replace"system
    as I am totally confused by the grammar, syntax, and terminology used by Adobe.

    Hi Geoffbubbles,
    if you see only 1 photo you did export only 1 photo in the catalog.
    Make sure you select all (e.g. <ctrl> A or remove the tick from "export selected photos only" in the dialog box of export-as-catalog =>will pick the total folder).
    What Dorin mentions are catalogs as transportation vehicles between the two LR computer catalogs.
    Let's assume you start on your home-comp and transfer to the work-comp.
    When you EXPORT you give a name "home-to-work" for the transport catalog. You decide if you include the pictures by ticking "exclude negative files".
    You would do so only for the first time, when your work-comp would not yet have them.
    These are the original files which would never be touched, but which LR needs to have available to do develop work (i.e. to write develop instructions into its database). [Or maybe only you need them in order to have LR display the effects of what you are doing, if your slider settings achieve your desired result.]
    When you transfer your new settings from the work-comp to the home-comp which has the original files already you only need to transfer the DB-records for the files, i.e. the catalog parts. Then it is sufficient to export-as-catalog (name it "work-to-home") without the tick for the negative files. Which will obviously save a lot of data to transfer.
    As would leaving off the tick for "include available previews", but then your receiving computer would have to render the previews itself - your choice where you spend the effort.
    Depending on your ticks checked in export dialog the data on the transfer stick will show different folders:
    1 wrapping folder with the name you specified as transportation catalog name (in the example above "home-to-work")
    therein the catalog file *.lrcat (home-to-work.lrcat)
    if "include negative files" ticked: as many subfolders as the original folder structure/names of the pictures in it had on the sending machine
    if "include available previews" ticked: an *Previews.lrdata-folder ("home-to-work Previews.lrdata") with lots of subfolders labelled 0...F
    On the receiving computer, when you IMPORT FROM CATALOG, you only select the *.lrcat-file.
    In the dialog box you decide if you import the negative files (prereq you had included them) or if you just add them without moving (why not leave them on the stick i.o. actually copying over to the work-comp?). If there are no new photos, but just new settings, you can either overwrite your old settings (which is probably your intention) or tick "preserve old settings as virtual copies".
    When you use Dorins smart collection "Touched today" the virtual copies should not show up upon re-export on the way "work-to-home", provided you have further tweaked the master versions only. Or they do because in the end you liked them better and continued tweaking on them.
    Note if you do not include previews: you might need to tell LR on the receiving comp to rerender the previews if it contains the photos and earlier previews already - I am not sure, if LR starts off on its own to rerender them.

  • MacBook Pro Battery: How can I protect my battery when not using computer for a long time period 3-months ?

    Hello,
    In 2014, I am expecting to be out of the states for a long period of time which is over 3 months. I am not planning of bringing my MacBook Pro with me. As a result, what would be the correct procedure for the battery in order to preserve it in the best condition when I return back and use the battery normally.
    Many thanks for your assistance!

    This is the article for non-Retina systems.  Not sure what to do fro Retina units:

    I would also keep it with a friend/familymember you can trust to not take it out during that time and play frisbee with it to control humidity levels and temperature and access while unattended.

  • How can I regain Preview funtion when printing using FF 28.0 ?

    I am running Mac os 10.9.2 and FF 28.0. When printing on an Epson WF 545 I no longer get the "Preview" option in the print windows. How do I regain that function?

    There is no "Print Preview" in the File drop down menu and I don't get any menu from the FF logo. When I click on "Print" from the File menu, the window that comes up shows "Show Details" or "Hide Details" where it should say "Preview".

  • How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now

    How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
    Thanks....

    Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords.  Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up.  That will give you the ID no. and password.

  • How can i shut down depreciation for an Asset for few days??

    Hi Friends,
    How can i shut down depreciation of a particular Asset for few days say 5 days??
    I have done the necessary changes in Time dependent tab like checked asset shut down and in AFAMA i changed the shut dawn as YES.
    The only problem i am in is "how can i maintain the 5 days like from 10.05.2009 to 14.05.2009
    If i go to MORE INTERVALS then only From date is available over there.There is no To date opition.
    How can i maintain To Date??
    Plz suggest.
    Regards,
    Sumaya

    Hi
    Go for shut down approach. But your depreciation key should allow shut down. check your depreciation key configuration
    In asset master data
    Go to time dependent terms,
    Define the appropriate time interval for shutdown
    Set the shutdown indicator
    The system does not calculate the depreciation for the shut down period,
    The useful life of the asset will increase to the extent of shutdown period.
    When you remove the shutdown indicator, system automatically resumes the depreciation calculation.

  • How can I extract the results of my squence?

    Hello, I'm a beginer of test Stand.
    I've created a main squence with LabView & TestStand, and works well, when it finish TestStand automatically creates my report. I need to extract these results of my sequence in order to create a custom document automatically, creating an action with LabView that works with these results, without any action of an operator.
    How can I extract these results? Thanks you very much.

    Hello,
    you've got several options here, although it seems you might want to go with the first option:
    1) After running your sequence, you'll find all the results needed for creating a report on the variable Locals.ResultList, which is an array of objects (of the Result type). You can pass this array to external code for it to use the information (i.e. create a report)
    2) You can override the report generation callback on your process model (Test Report callback)and create your own LabVIEW-based report generation sequence/routine
    3) You can modify the report generation sequences on the process model to suit your needs (always make backup copies and place your modifications on the /Components/User folder !)
    I would also recommend you to assist National Instruments Training Courses, as these things can be seen in detail and provide you a better understanding of all the options TestStand has.

  • How can i get the value when the field name is user defined

    Hi,
    I have a one java method:

    String queryString = ("select count(*) as count from

    When i call it in a jsp file.
    ResultSet counter =db.countUserDb(request.getParameter("id"));
    if(counter.next())
    int x=rs.getInt("count");
    Tomcat said incorrect column name.How can i get the result set when the field name is user's defined.
    Best regards
    Ricky

    Hi Ricky
    To access pseudo columns you can specify an alias or use the index on the column (e.g. getInt(1)).
    Chris
    NB: you should use bind variables instead of concatenating the id to the SQL statement.

  • How can I slow down the music of my clip?

    How can I slow down the music of my clip?

    Try using the following code after each time you write to the TextArea.  I am assuming you are using a TextArea component and are trying to control the position of where it is scrolled to when it refreshes with the chat data.
    "ta" is the instance name of the TextArea
    ta.verticalScrollPosition = ta.maxVerticalScrollPosition;

  • Please Give me reply for this problem(How can I get the result)???

    Hello Friends,
    I have one table CXATCMS.Which has 3 columns and has the following data
    start_no end_no activity_date
    05001000001 05001000002 01-OCT-03
    05001000015 05001000016 01-OCT-03
    05001000017 05001000018 12-JUN-05
    05001000019 05001000020 12-JUL-06
    I have to create a report which lists the the specific range.
    If the next record's start_no is the immediate next number for the prevoius record's
    end_no .....then it has to display all those numbers in a range until it finds a number which is not next immediate number for the previous record's end number.
    like for example....if the user wants to see from 1 to 20 range.
    then the result must be like this........
    start_no end_no
    05001000001 05001000002-------there is no 05001000003 number in the
    05001000015 05001000020 start numbers so it has to stop its range by this number).
    How can i get this result........

    Hi,
    Try this. I am sure you know how to write procedure, I have skipped those obligations, anyway u can sense the absic way of working from here I think. Pls do the uppercase / lowercase adjustment as required by your operating system.
    Declare
    mnd CXATCMS.end_no%type;
    numRec CXATCMS.%rowtype;
    Cursor C is select * from CXATCMS where start_no between 1 and 20 order by start_no;
    begin
    select min(end_no)+1 into mnd from CXATCMS where start_no between 1 and 20;
    open C;
    Loop
    fetch C into numRec;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.putline(numRec);
    exit when mnd<>numrec.start_no;
    if mnd=numrec.start_no then
    mnd:=numRec.end_no + 1;
    end if;
    end loop;
