"Search for text" Zooms when number keys pressed. Expecting it to FIND text

For months I have been using (&relying on) the "search for text when I start typing " feature.
I am a school teacher & this helps me to search for students & record scores in an online grading program.
The "search for text when I start typing feature" stopped working two days ago.
Before, whenever I typed the "Find" box immediately opened up, searched the screen,
and highlighted whatever I had just typed. Now, when I enter a "1", "2" , "6" , "9" or "0" (zero)
the find box does not come up- so this disrupts all the grade recording process for me.
Instead, when I type in 6 or 9 (it zooms in the screen instead), 0 (it zooms out instead) and I cannot tell what happens
when I type in 1 or 2 (nothing appears to happen- but no "Find" box comes up.

*"Search for text" Zooms when number keys pressed. Expecting it to FIND text
~J99
I tried restarting Firefox and turning on/off the Advanced feature ( "search for text when I start typing feature")
but it did not help. I am using a Mac. I also tried using an external keyboard/keypad but the exact same
results occur.
Please help!
Thanks,

The keyboard shortcut for resetting the zoom level is Command+0, so seeing that kind of response implies that Firefox is misreading the state of the Command key, thinking it is stuck down. Usually tapping the key numerous times will send a signal to all programs that the key has been released (at least on Windows).
On the other hand, in that case, Command+6 should jump to the sixth tab in the current window, it shouldn't change the zoom level. So... hmm...
In case a component of the OS has malfunctioned, have you already tried shutting down the system completely and then starting it up again?

Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
try this:
open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
let me know if succeeded!

Why opening from java the rpt search for a JNDI when it's setup for a DNS ?

I downloaded CR for eclipse 2.
All is 'quite' working froma a java app.
i've only a problem with an 'jndi name search error'. I'll try to explain.
In the RPT i use a DSN connection to a sql server into a differente machine. When I open directly the rpt, all is working.
From java code, i'll open the report, but when i try to export to pdf iit tell me about an error 'jndi name search error', with the name of the DSN connection i setup.
Why? Why opening rpt all is working, but opening from code NOT is working ?
What's the difference from two opening methods? Why an .rpt opened from java cannot just open the connection like when opened from cristal report !?
*My question is: why opening from java the rpt search for a JNDI when it's setup for a DNS connection ?! *

The .rpt has been originally created from an ancient version of Cristal report. probably the '8'.
In an italian software called 'Business', the .rpt is populated for printing of invoices and similar docs.
My society is trying to 'integrate' our software with the .rpt used from our customer.
So we want simply open .rpt, add a new logo, set the selection for record and save as pdf.
We so bought Cristal report 2008 (v.12 ), opened the .rpt, saved (so it 's now in a supported version).
The sql server is located at 10.1.2.40, and is a Microsoft Sql Server.
In my development pc I've installed Cr 12. I added a User DSN to point to Sql server at 10.1.2.40, at right DB with username and password. Opening from my development machine the .rpt and 'running' it, it display the data. Ok !
I downloaded CR4 Eclipse 2.
I open report using the unmanaged sdk. (to access it through file system, not via RAS), Ok.
I set selection record. Ok.
I execute .export with 'PDF' for format option and here I get an exception: the JNDI name 'CPR' is not found. Where CPR is the DSN name setup into .rpt from Cristal Report 2008.
So, no, i'm not trying to using the designer from Eclipse, but from the full application. But I must use the rpt at runtime to export some rendered records.
What must I do to do this?
CR4E only supports java based connections, so it is looking for the JDBC/JNDI name and won't look at the DSN's.
How Can i setup at runtime a JDBC / JNDI connection ?
I already have a 'connection' from my code to the sql server, using sqlserver jdbc driver v. 4 from microsoft. And executing query I see the results. So i have right driver, ip, db name, user name and password
But is there a way to simply tell at runtime to my .rpt to use THIS connection? Or a similar connection...
Thanks in advance for help provided to us. (we bought a CR license only for this work...)

My ipod keeps searching for network, even when the network info is all set properly. It has suddenly started doing this. Also, buffering forever... I have tried to reset the network few times, but not working.

Hello Nazer_502,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was acting this way. It sounds like it is overheating and not holding a charge. I recommend following the steps listed below when experiencing an issue like this:
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

What to use for the events of 2 keys pressed simultaneously?

Question:
What to use for the events of 2 keys pressed simultaneously? As the key listener has limited functionality, in this case, I need something that can act to two events (see below)
Goal
1. A user presses right and up at the same time
2. Program responds to this event changing BOTH the vertical and horizontal speeds of the player
Problem
I currently have a key listener to do this, using key pressed, however, it only acts to up OR right at one point in time. So the user can only increase his or her vertical speed; or horizontal speed at one point in time. Instead of increasing them both.
Example
Here is an example of the game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/MINDistortion/bubbles-2

I don't know whether there's a better way (or whether this will work as expected), but I would try setting a boolean flag on keyPressed and reset the flag on keyReleased, for each key of interest. To compute the x / y movements, I would check the state of all flags.
dbI was thinking about your answer a few nights ago. And I was like, wait... it works! I thought, at first (as I replied before) that it wouldn't work, but I refract what I said. Its actually a very simple solution. And I apologize for questioning your solution previously. Thanks so much!
P.S. I tested it out. Works like a charm.
-Create booleans to handle each key
-Set to true on press
-Set to false on release
-Check and update in separate thread accordingly

My wifi will not detect networks and will not search for other networks when I search for them. Do I need a new iPhone or can I fix it myself?

My wifi is on and when it tries to find a wifi connection, the gray little circle just keeps spinning and will not detect our home wifi. I have tried to search for it and connect to it manually, but it will not search for the network name. I'm hoping I don't need a new phone so please help.

Search for a word and return all the lines (row) from the text file..

Hi all,
I need a help on how to search a string from the text file and returns all the lines (rows) where the searched string are found. I have included the code, it finds the indexof the string but it does not return the entire line. I would appreciate your any help.
public class SearchWord
 public static void main(String[] args){
 //Search String
 String searchText = "man";
 //File to search (in same directory as .class file)
 String fileName = "C:\\Workspace\\MyFile.txt";
 //StringBuilder allows to create a string by concatinating
 //multiple strings efficiently.
 StringBuilder sb =
 new StringBuilder();
 try {
 //Create the buffered input stream, which reads
 //from a file input stream
 BufferedInputStream bIn =
 new BufferedInputStream(
 new FileInputStream(fileName));
 //Holds the position of the last byte we have read
 int pos = 0;
 //Holds #of available bytes in our stream
 //(which is the file)
 int avl = bIn.available();
 //Read as long as we have something
 while ( avl != 0 ) {
 //Holds the bytes which we read
 byte[] buffer = new byte[avl];
 //Read from the file to the buffer
 // starting from <pos>, <avl> bytes.
 bIn.read(buffer, pos, avl);
 //Update the last read byte position
 pos += avl;
 //Create a new string from byte[] we read
 String strTemp =
 new String(buffer);
 //Append the string to the string builder
 sb.append(strTemp);
 //Get the next available set of bytes
 avl = bIn.available();
 catch(IOException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 //Get the concatinated string from string builder
 String fileText = sb.toString();
 int indexVal = fileText.indexOf(searchText);
 //Displays the index location in the file for a given text.
 // -1 if not found
 if (indexVal == -1)
 System.out.println("No values found");
 else
 System.out.println("Search for: " + searchText); }
}

Hi, you can use servlet class and use this method to get the whole line of searched string. You can override the HttpServlet to treat that class as servlet.
public class ReportAction extends HttpServlet {
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
//write your whole logic.
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("your file name"));
String line = "";
while(line = br.readLine() != null) {
 if(line.contains("your search string")) {
 System.out.println("The whole line, row is :"+line);
}

Can I search for pdf and word documents at the same time in finder?

I often want to search for more than one file type at a time - for instance pdfs and word docs in a directory, or Jpgs, GIFs, PNGs etc.
Can I do this in the finder in one go (so I can save it as a folder I can then select when I want to)?
I tried typing OR between the 'tokens' it creates, but then it just searches for OR - so not as intelligent as one would think?!
Surely there must be a way to do something as simple as this?
regards
Rob

Forget the whole "tokens" business (I think that is a pretty useless "improvement" to constructing Spotlight searches). Hit command-F to bring up the search window, and set your first criteria, in the example I changed it from the default Kind to Created Date, to keep the number of results manageable. Now hold down the Option key and click on the "+" at the end of the criteria line, it will change to "..." and you get a new criteria line. From the dropdown menu choose "Any" if necessary (this will give you the Boolean OR), then enter what you want in the first sub-head. To get a second sub-head OR criteria click the "+" at the end of the Any line.
I don't generate many MS Word docs, so I just stopped in the example above after typing Microsoft, since that brought up all the MS anything I have from this year (a couple of Power Point thingies sent to me by friends).

Mysterious voice over when no key pressed

Hi, randomly i am getting a voice over that says 'please type your message in the text box and ....". This is happening when i am browsing something on the internet. Following is the url that is open at that time in safari.
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-90280.html
1) Voice over is not enabled. 2) Voice over voice is Alex, while what i hear is a female voice.
I also heard this once previously but ignored it because i thought i was pressing some key combination. This time however, i was not touching keyboard.
I have Witch installed, which seems to require enabling assistive device support.
Is it something with the webpages that this happens? I am sure that all the times that this happened, i was browsing something.

oops, it seems there is an ad in the site that does that. i guess that happened previously too.

GE60 Apache Pro-003 mutes mic when S key pressed. Need recovery help...

I don't actually believe that this is an issue with hardware as I have tried external keyboards and my friend pressed S using teamviewer and it still muted me. I think the issue originated when I decided to install Ubuntu in front of the windows main partition moving the windows partition forward on the drive itself. Now I cannot create new recovery media because somehow that moving corrupted the recovery partitions. I also can't find recovery media on MSI's website for purchase, at this point I think that either installing a vanilla version of windows 8 and installing the drivers afterwards may be my best bet. I also considered buying the exact laptop again, creating recovery media from it, returning it and using the media on mine (I know how thrifty that sounds but I'm out of options). I could also try moving the windows partition back on the drive but I believe the damage is done and that could cause more issues or inability to boot.
Any other ideas out there?

usually when buying a laptop then if you didnt open box then you have 14 days rights to return it and have money back but if you broken the box and return it the store will mostlikely reject your return and say that you have opened the box so you will have to pay twice as much for both :/ so best bet is to send laptop to your store and they will send it off to MSI repair center or place that is certified by MSI to repair MSI laptops for them where they will then restore your drives back to factory layout so you can then run MSI BurnRecovery tool in windows to create own recovery USB or so
Thats why you shall allways create recovery USB 1st time you buy a laptop before you begin to use it since some just buys laptop and use it and later the hdd is corrupted or damaged and they have lost recovery chanse :/

Phone set on Vibration but switches to silent when volume keys pressed

I have my phone set to vibrate for all my notifications but when I touch the volume keys it switches to silent. How do I disable the volume keys from changing the notification profile

You can't. That is a shortcut key to enable silent. It happens when you turn the volume all the way down and then down one more. With the latest update the volume keys are locked while the phone is locked unless media is playing.

Stop JList from jumping when Alpha key pressed.

I have a list that I have a KeyListener on. I want to trap the keypresses and handle them myself. Not a big problem, but the one thing that I cannot seem to control is that when you press the "K" key it automatically jumps to the first "K" item in the list as well as any other alphabetic key on the keyboard. I am calling evt.consume() in the keyTyped, keyPressed, & keyReleased methods, but it is still jumping. How do I turn this behavior off?
Thanks In Advance,
Jay

Replace the combo's keySelectionManager with one that never finds a match:
    comboBox.setKeySelectionManager(new JComboBox.KeySelectionManager() {
        public int selectionForKey(char c, ComboBoxModel model) {
             return -1;
   });Greetings
