Searching 'On my Mac' not working anymore: help!

Hi there! Yesterday I received a warning that my startup disk was almost full, so some apps on my MacBook Air started crashing. Eventually I removed 20GB, solving that problem. However... ever since the search function for the archived messages in the "ON MY MAC" folder in Mail isn't working anymore. If I do a search for a specific word, it only shows all mails with that word that are still on IMAP, not the ones that I dragged to the ON MY MAC folder.
I read somewhere I should click 'rebuild' from the menu, but when I do that, exactly nothing happens. I tried rebooting, force quitting Mail, but none of that works either. So... HELP!
I really hope somebody can help me out, this is extremely frustrating: I have all my mails since 2004 in that archive, but if I can't search the folder, it's almost worthless!!

Hi,there I am in the same situation, did you find out how to solve the problem? I don't know what to do. So helpless!

Select end (Shift+End) in Dreamweaver (MAC) not working anymore

Hi all,
all of a sudden it seems that my DreamWeaver shortcut Shift+End is not working anymore to select text till the end of the line. Shift+Home is still working. I'm pretty sure I've been using it till the day before yesterday. I noticed the shortcut not working on my macbook yesterday, but since that was a clean install I thought that might have been the issue. But today I noticed the same on my working station which has been installed for a couple of days now.
Is anyone else facing this problem? I tried re-adding the shortcut, but that doesn't work at all..

Seemed to have fixed itself.. all of a sudden it is working again..

Why doesn't the "zoom in/out" via pinching the trackpad on my mac not work anymore with firefox? It worked before and still works with Safari.

why doesn't the "zoom in/out" feature by pinching the trackpad on my mac work anymore with firefox? It worked about a month ago, and still works on Safari.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Another 10.4.11 problem, mac not working, please help

I know there are other topics on the 10.4.11 update messing up computers but i've tried their solutions and mine still won't work so any help would be really appreciated. I hadn't backed my recent stuff up aswell so i really don't want to just wipe it unless there is definately no other option.
I originally clicked ok to the update 10.4.11 for my emac thinking it would be a quick simple update... far from it!! I ended up holding the power button to turn my mac off after it froze on the update and since then when i turn it on it gets stuck on the grey screen.
I first tried archive and install and that goes really slow, does a check, starts the procedure then says there is an error and to try again, which i did about 3 times and still no luck. I then tried to hook my emac up to my macbook with a firewire cable, then firewire symbol shows on my emac but my HD doesn't show on my laptop (any ideas here?). So then i tried a disk repair and after about half an hr of spinning beachball it says 'Repairing disk failed with error - could not unmount disk'.
So now i'm really stuck, please help!

You must repair the HD somehow.
Have you tried booting from the Install CD/DVD then after you choose your language, a Menubar will show up top, find Disk Utility and run it from there.
If DU can't fix it then , your best bets are DiskWarrior from Alsoft...

Hi James thanks for the advise I tried calling them yesterday and they ran me through loads of tests to do and still don't have wifi calls as they have said either a problem with carrier settings or ios8.4 and might have to wait for Apple to do an update before it works for me again not happy as I rely on wifi calls as I have no signal at work or at home without it.

My ipod nano 6th generation is not working anymore :( HELP

I have an ipod nano 6th generation. Was working perfectly. One day I wake up and is showing me a screen I have never seen before..It reads:N20 Snowfox 4A0432
When I plug it, itunes doesnt recognize it. It recognized it once but it says problem 1621 and I follow the instructions but still my ipod is frozen and not even my computer can read it.
I really miss my music for my morning run!

Have a look at comment # 4 and 5 on this page iPod nano 6G diagnostic mode to get it out of this mode again.
Pressing the volume minus button and power button should help.

After upgrade to Firefox Version 4, my Google is not working anymore. Google opens. But if i try to open a search result, page becomes pale and the sign "no feedback" appears. Scrolling also no more possible

Every time I search with Google, I get a search result, but if I select one and click on it, the link does not open. Instead the page becomes pale and the sign "no feedback" appears. Also the scroll function does not work anymore. Impossible to use a Google link. I had to use the "Windows Explorer" again where Google works properly. (With the older Firefox Version I had never problems)

I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?
thanks again for your help. Mind you that this all started when blogger went down ..
take care

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

Try this...
You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

After update Mac OS 10.9.1 Trim Enabler does not work anymore!

After updating from Mac OS 10.9.0 to 10.9.1 the program Trim Enabler does not work anymore and my 4 SSDs from Samsung and Kingston are no longer supported.
What can I do?
Should I scrap my SSDs?
Why does Apple do such things?
Will Apple that I switch to Windows? There Trim works with all SSDs and BluRay will not boycott!

Apple does not support TRIM for SSDs that were not factory
installed and TRIM Enabler is a hack to get around this. Any
hack is always subject to being disabled, or worse, with any
system update whether it is OSX or Windows.

Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

hello!
i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:

To rule out a software issue, try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If this does not help, the problem might be hardware related and the phone needs to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
