Search seems weak/broken
The search function doesn't seem to work very well. I can
search for words that I *KNOW* exist, and it will tell me no
results found, or give fewer results than it should. For example,
today I searched for "pastels" and it tells me "No Results Found
For: pastels". I've also noticed that it seems to be overly picky,
for example not finding words just because the case is different,
or because the search term is part of a larger word (for example,
"pastel" should also find "pastels" but in my tests it doesn't, or
at least not consistently). Actually, at the moment none of my
searches are working at all. Earlier I had some success, but still
it was acting overly fussy.
Hi Sami,
Yes, I had already tried the asterisk method, and it worked
... at least when the search was working (it stopped working
completely for me after that ... haven't tried again yet).
However, these days requiring an asterisk is a bit outdated.
Google and Spotlight automatically search for keywords within
larger words. I don't think most users expect to need to use it
except for complicated matches, like an asterisk in the middle of a
word, etc.

why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.
I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

My vibrate feature seems weak on iphone 5
When my Iphone 5 is set to vibrate instead of ring, the virbrating feature seems weaker than it was on my Iphone4. I especially notice when the phone vibrates as a second incoming call is received when I am already on talking to someone else on the phone. Is there a way to incease the power of the vibrate feature or should I take the phone back to Apple Store for service. I'm still within my first 30 days of owning the phone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
What do you mean "It does work when the phone is on?"
Have you checked in Settings > Sounds to see if you have those options set to the way you want them? You could also try resetting your settings; Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Edit: Can you feel the phone vibrate when you use the switch on the side of phone? It should vibrate when moving the switch to silent. -
My wife and I have been happily browsing away this evening,
and in the last couple hours, search stopped working on both of our
machines. Hers is an XPSP2 machine with Firefox, and mine is a Mac
10.4.11 with the latest Safari. Neither Kuhler Desktop nor
kuler.adobe.com can find, for example, any themes matching the
words "cherry", "chocolate" or "copper". It finds ONE result for
"blue" -- again, on Kuhler Desktop (Mac), Safari (Mac) and Firefox
(Windows).
?Now it's coming up with more hits for "blue", and "Cherry"
has one hit (though not the "Cherry Cheesecake" from the Highest
Rated list). I don't get it.
And I actually need a few of these sets that my wife wanted
us to use.... -
Quicktime HTML Embed Seems Globally Broken
Hi! I've been using the embed html tag to post Quicktime videos for a long while now at work, but as of the last couple weeks (late November 2014) they have inexplicably all been broken. This includes embedded videos for numerous sites made years ago up through a couple weeks ago. The change seems to have happened suddenly. Looking around the internet, it seems as though it's not just my pages, but every example video I'm able to find on tutorial or test sites is broken as well. They all just display a gray box with a puzzle piece and the message "No plug-in available to display this content." message. I'm using a fairly current MacBook Pro with Yosemite installed; but I've checked it on another iMac using an older OSX versions and all have the same issue. If you do a Google search for "Quicktime Embed Test" none of the links that use a basic embed tag seem to be working, for instance. Same issue in Chrome or Safari. Was their a major change in Quicktime recently that would be causing this error? Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks!
Hi! In Chrome, there is no Quicktime listed in the Plugins menu. Safari has it, but Chrome does not. Here is the complete list of Chrome plugins:

Hello,
when I enter a search at tahiti.oracle.com I get the "Summary of Documentation" page with results linked by Oracle version as expected. Even the next step works, e.g. if I click results for 10gR2 I get a list of hits in the 10R2 docu. But each link from there leads me to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html.
For results about 11R2 I always get a 404
Steps:
At http://tahiti.oracle.com/ I enter "execute immediate" and get
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/print_hit_summary?search_string=execute+immediate
For 10R2 I get http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/search?remark=quick_search&word=execute+immediate&tab_id=&format=ranked
and from there on it does not work.
Regards
MarcusIt seems now the search functionality itself is broken. I am not getting even search results now. Sometimes browser has "Waiting for download.oracle.com..." for a long long time and gives no results in the end.

EXIF "Flash" Search/Smart Album Broken?
It appears that, in Aperture 3.1.1, trying to search the EXIF Flash value using a Search or a Smart Album is broken. My Nikon puts the values "Flash did not fire" and "Flash fired" in the Flash field, however, trying to search for EXIF includes "fired", or anything else for that matter, returns an empty set. (I did get a set of about 6 photos in a project with 228 photos when I entered includes 0. Everything else fails.)
Is anyone else having this issue? Any work-arounds? I'm trying to select all of the "flash" photos and the "non-flash" photos to be able to adjust the white balance appropriately. Any better ideas on how to do that?Works here with AP 3.1.1 and Nikon D80 images as follows:
Select 'Photos' in Library Inspector > New Smart Album
Add Rule > EXIF > Flash; Includes; Flash fired (or Flash did not fire) > 'Return' (Enter) key to apply.
Works as expected, but I had to use the correct wording and spacing used by the Metadata EXIF field.
If it still doesn't work for you, I can only think you might want to try the Troubleshooting Basics:

Is anyone else experiencing this? The forum search works fine but none of the links work. Pretty frustrating when you end up paging back through 60+ pages of postings to find the one you want to see.
Hi JJRAY,
True the links are broken at the moment. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.We would see to it this is resolved ASAP.We appreciate your patience on this.

Weak/broken USB ports?
I'm guessing that my two USB ports are somehow weak, if that's even possible. I have two devices when plug in act weirdly and, well, weaker. When I plug in my flashdrive/thumbdrive (whathaveyou) it takes a good 10-15 minutes to show up on my computer. When it's plugged into other computers it shows up right away. When my tablet is plugged in it doesn't function properly but it does just barely work. And when I look for my tablet in my computer's system preferences, it says: "A USB tablet was not found when the system started. Please shut down your computer, check your connections, and restart..." Which I've done. I've had my computer for just over a year if that info helps at all.
My mostly blind searching found me a "debugging kit" for the USB ports. But I don't want to download and use in case I royally mess up my computer, which may very well happen because I don't even know what's going on with my USB ports.

Thanks!Hi DrBones,
You might want to try:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1411 SMC reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 reset NVRAM
do you have the issues with the tablet even when not using the USB thumb drive?
with the thumb drive, have you tried coping every thing off the drive, and then repartitioning the drive? -
Ipad 2 wifi seems weak after repair
I recently did a screen replacement on my 2011 version ipad 2. During the repair I did tear the power flex cable which I will replace shortly. Though I was careful of the wifi antenna at the bottom, I don't believe I ripped the antenna, and I'm pretty sure it was laying the same was as when I took it apart. But what seems to be happening where I think I should be getting full wifi reception I'm getting only 1-2 bars. I've had two people with ipad 2 compare our wifi in the same location and again they would get 3 and I was getting 2 bars.
I guess my question would be, does anyone know what could of happened? Could it be the glass replacement I got from Amazon depleting the signal? Like I said I peeled the wifi antenna off the old glass during the repair, but did it fairly close to the frame so I did not rip or damage the antenna. Would anyone recommend to replace the antenna? Or tough it out? What could be done?
Thank you.I also left feed back. I thought apple was also on this did not realize it was just user to user with change. Thanks Carolyn!

ITunes pause download seems suddenly broken
Today I experienced something odd. I had downloads paused in iTunes as my disk is rather full and I was cleaning it up and had done so. Lots of room. For some reason my downloads decided to spontaneously unpause. I got several password challenges, all of which I answered correctly before iTunes finally accepted my password. I got several download failures mumbling that perhaps my network is down which of course it is not (witness this communication). I hit pause all after clearing the dialogs of said seemingly bogus failures and nothing happened. I paused each dialog one by one. I kept getting another download failure and then all dialogs were not paused. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. What the heck?
I am having a similar problem. I purchased an iTunes Essential package but only half of the songs downloaded. I have the 34 iTunes songs are available for download in the download file but nothing happens when I click on the button, no error message, no nothing.
I have been in touch with Apple and have gotten their perfunctory responses all of which indicate that I have the problem not them. I asked for a refund for the songs purchased and billed but not received, but no response to that age old customer service solution.
The last fix from them was to backup my iTunes files uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it. If that doesn't work they offered to provide me with a phone number for a customer service call that I might have to pay for!! I have decided not to uninstall and reinstall the software. I'm madder than **** and I will continue to send them problem message after problem message for as long as it takes to get them to refund my money. -
Macbook seems weaker than ibook
I've recently had my macbook in for repair. during this time i borrowed a friends g4 ibook as i had an important music project i needed to finish. i've noticed that the ibook (g4 1.33gig ppc with 512 ram) seemed to handle the amount of audio tracks in my project better than the macbook (intel duo core 2.2 gig with 1gig ram) did. when using my macbook, even today after i've had it repaired, the audio pops and drops out and the processor meter on the system performance icon is full up. but whilst i was using the ibook i had no problem and it handled all the audio fine.
each computer has plenty of free hard drive space (about 30gig each) so i don't think this is an issue.
is there something i need to do with regards to assigning memory to my music software?
i'd appreciate any help
tahnkswhere would i get a copy of cubase le 4. the one i use is an early version as i've had the mixer for a couple of years. am i right in thinking you can only get cubase le bundled with hardware. therefore, how would i obtain a copy?
