Search doesn't find the words water or plants! What can I do to fix this?

OK, you're not going to believe this. Search cannot find any events with the words water or plants in them! Here's the background. I had multiple calendar entries for "Water Plants". I deleted one, then deleted the other. I then entered a new event called "Water Plants." Search does not find it. It finds every other event, but not that one.
Now, here comes the even stranger part. I added the word stargaze in front of the entry--so it reads "Stargaze water plants" -- and it finds the event if I search for stargaze. In fact, I can add virtually anything in front of water plants and it finds it. It'll even find "Warm water plants" (search for "warm") but not "water plants" or "water water plants."
I've tried several things. I did the home button--power button hold til restart, no change. I synched via iTunes; no change. I've deleted the event, switched to a different day, and added it again. No dice. I've turned off and on again the Events option in Spotlight Seach setting. No luck. I even reordered the search items (putting events at the top of the search or in different places).
It also won't find the event if I search for just "plants". I just created two additional events: "Plants" and "Warm water" and it cannot find them if I search for "water" or "plants". "Wa" "Pl", etc. do not work. Create "Stargaze" again and I can find it.
Any ideas? It's as if my having deleted two events deleted the words (and subsets of letters) from the Spotlight Search vocabulary.

Try: Settings>General>Spotlight Search...remove the checks next to every item, then reset your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release. Now, go back into Settings & turn back on what items you want for Spotlight Search.

Try using Google's DNS instead of the one your IPS is providing.
- To change on the iPod go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8
- For the computer see:
Public DNS — Google Developers
- Did anything happen to your router right before this started? Maybe the router is blocking the port used.

Search - doesn't find the word entered, doesn't link to the word entered

Hi all,
Using TCS2 on Windows 7 64-bit - linked FM file to RH. Generating WebHelp (primary layout).
The SEARCH functionality in RH doesn't seem to work terribly well and I'm wondering if I'm just missing something.
For example: I have chapters about creating a New Grant. In the search, i enter the words "new grant" >> in quotations, just like that.
Search returns any topics which have the words NEW or GRANT (I have sub-string enabled; I've tried it with and without this enabled with the same result).
In addition, in the search pannel where the name of the topics containing the words NEW or GRANT are listed, if I click on the topic name, it takes me to the start of the topic, not to the instances of the words NEW or GRANT.
I have 2 issues:
1- If I search for "new grant" I would expect to only see results with both words, not instances of new, grant, or both. Is this something missing? Or a setting?
2- If I click on the topic name in the search pane, I'd like to be taken to the location within that topic where the found instance of my search words are. Again, is this something missing or a setting?
I should note that I have heard of ZoomSearch and will read the information about it, but I'm hoping that this works within RH and without extraneous tools.
Thanks!
Adriana

Hi folks
Assuming that the topic is "long-ish" and the found term is out of view when you display the topic, it should cause the topic to display where it has been scrolled so the found terms are in view.
Thanks to John Daigle who demonstrated this in the Adobe booth while at a conference.
Cheers... Rick

I play KOC on fb and everytime I refresh I get this: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. What can I do to fix this?

When playing my fb game KoC I need to refresh a lot and every time I do I get this message: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How can I disable this message?

Just give us a means of opting out if we don't care about POST data; or opting out for certain web sites. We have an application that I use hundreds of times a day at work and as a result, I get that message hundreds of times. Opening new tabs doesn't help because I'd have to open numerous tabs, and then it takes time to figure out which tab is the "back" tab.

Made a bad change to login options under user preferences, changed from "List of users" to "Name and password". I shut the computer down, now I can't login in when I turn the computer back on. What can I do to fix this problem?

Have Migrated data from IMAC to Macbook twice. Because I had too many admin ids under user and accounts preferences, I was trying not to delete the extras but that they wouldn't all show at login time. Under Login Options, I clicked out "List of Users" and clicked in "Name and password". Can't remember whether I did anything else. I shut down the computer and turned it back on to test the change. I get a dark grey screen with all my admin ids in circled pictures plus one for guest, but doesn't let me do anything with any of the admin ids. I clicked on any one and nothing happens. IF i click on the guest circle, it gives me a message that the computer will restart with only Safari allowed.
Since I haven't been able to connect my macbook to my IMac so I can login to the macbook through the Imac, I can't get to my macbook. There must be a way to fix this problem. I expected to see places to enter name and password but nothing is allowed to enter. Please help!

First thing I would do would be to boot in to Lion Recovery (Command+R on boot) and run Disk Utility, both disk and permissions repair.

I am attempting to connect my Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8. After loading software from Canon and attempting to print, I get the following message: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. What can I do to fix this?

I just purchased and installed a Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my PC desktop with Windows XP. It works fine. It has been successfully installed on my network and I am able to use it with my laptop running VISTA. However, I am trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 and I am not having much luck. I can see it as one of the printer choices when attempting to print; however, I get the following message:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
I have been searching for answers, but nothing seems to work yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Let me understand:
- you have purchased named canon, which is conencted to your PC running windows xp
- downloaded driver for win xp, and canon works fine
- canon is connected to that PC via USB
- that Canon is also activated as network printer, by allowing print sharing in windows; how did you set that option?
- now, you are in Mac OS x 10.6.8, downloaded Canon driver for Mac OS X, installed it, detected printer on the network, printer was installed; was it detected as attached to that PC running win XP? or not?
or you set canon by being connected to your mac directly via USB?
Now, there are some questions you should answer as some details are missing, and your initial text is not clear. Can you print if Canon is connected directly to your mac? did you try that? if not, do it before answering.

I downloaded Itunes 10.6 but my computer said itunes is not a 32 bit version. It said to download the 64 bit version. but it was the 64 bit version. What can I do to fix this.

I downloaded the update itunes 10.6 and My computer won't install it. It sais that the program is a 32 bit version that I needed to download the 64 bit version. But it was the 64 bit version. I am thinking about getting rid of my ipod and itunes. I wish I hadn't upgraded. Now I can't even use itunes. It loads up but it won't go onto itunes store.

You already have Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 installed for Firefox on the PC you used to post here, see your ''More system details...'' next to your posting.
There are no 64-bit builds of Firefox made, only 32-bit currently. There are some 3rd party builds floating around out there, but Mozilla doesn't allow them to be named Firefox - they would be called Namoroka for 3.6 versions. Mozilla does have a Minefield 64-bit build for 4.0-pre versions, but it won't be available as Firefox until probably Firefox 5 is released.
If your situation is with a different PC than what you used to post here: 
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Contacts and Calendar entries should be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service if using the device as designed.
Pictures/Videos taken with the device should be copied to the computer regularly, if using the device as designed.
All media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
All apps should exist in iTunes on the computer.
There may be some lost data from apps such as game status, but would you prefer to maintain that data or have a functional device?
If the issue turns out to be hardware, it is possible to later restore from backup to get put the device back to the same functional state once the hardware is replaced.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Words simply can't describe what a kludge iTunes has become. Every time Apple fixes one problem, a dozen more pop up. It's like trying to hold a bunch of ping-pong balls under water simultaneously.
The immediate problem is that Lion with iTunes buggers the artwork. Some it loses, some it can't find, and some appears and disappears like the Flying Dutchman (look it up...).
The bigger issue is that so MUCH of iTunes is bad, in general. Apple trys to use iTunes as a Swiss Army knife, using it to synch iPhones, iPads, etc. The app has become so generic that it is actually good at nothing.
The interfrace is kludgy; moving the library from one location to another virtually guarantees a wasted day and usually lost art, music, or backups.
In general, Apple's hardware and software is relatively ergonomically designed. I-Tunes, however just plain SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!
