Greetings,
The issue is really quite confusing but not impossible to work around. I spent about 10 minutes cursing the gods above and contemplating all manner of evil upon Apple and Adobe until the heavens opened and showed me the light.
Follow closely...
Solution 1. Move a copy of your Adobe PDF's to an alternate location such as a removable drive (USB Drive, External Hard Drive). I can almost say with 100% certainty that spotlight with be able to search inside of the documents in the alternate location.
Solution 2. In Adobe 7.0 Pro, go to the Advanced menu and use the PDF optimizer to save a copy of your PDF again in the same location as the original with a different filename. For example MyPDF.pdf becomes MyPDFoptimized.pdf.
Both solutions worked for me, so...
Good luck and let me know if this helps anyone else.

Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 the spotlight can not find anything., Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 the spotlight can not find anything.

the spotlight can not find anything or any person form the contact list... by name, surname other details...

The same on my iPhone 4S with iOS 5.0.1. Must disable the in-Mail search option in General->Spotlight settings menu to make it work again, but you loose all the Mail indexing.

Why my spotlight can not find my personal files ? It can find them before but can not find them now,I want to know why?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Spotlight ▹ Privacy
The list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing is shown (it may be empty.) Click the plus (“+”) icon to add an item to the list. Select your boot volume (under DEVICES) and add it to the list. Then remove it from the list by selecting it and clicking the minus (“-“) icon.
Spotlight will rebuild the index. If you try to do a Spotlight search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, a pulsing dot will appear in the icon. When the dot disappears, the indexing is complete.

Spotlight can't find my PDF files.

Hi all,
just bought a ipad mini.
I have downloaded Adobe PDF reader.
I have placed several pdf files on my device.
When I use Spotlight to search for a file, it can't find it.
It does not list any of my pdf files.
In Settings - General - Spotlight Search, all the items are ticked.
I have tried rebooting.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Many thanks
John

As far as I know, it's not possible to search your documents. Read here: iOS: Understanding Spotlight Search

I downloaded macprotector, now I can not find it, will it hide in my HD under another name

I downloaded Macprotector before realizing it was a scam. I saw it in my applications but could not move it to trash as it would not close.
I forced quit and now have reopened the Macbook and I can not find the program to deleat it. Will it change names? I have searched my HD for Macdefender and Macprotector with no luck. Do I need to look further or is it really gone?

Trojan War
If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
Removing strange software can be a task. The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item. Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall. Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software. This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon. After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon. Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

WebtopNaming - can not find server name for server ID

We have a LB, and web servers in front of OpenSSO app servers in our environment.
OpenSSO debug log CoreSystem fills up with lot of errors like these:
ERROR: WebtopNaming.getServerFromID() can not find server name for server ID : 07
com.iplanet.services.naming.ServerEntryNotFoundException: Cannot find server.
Sometimes, it even complains about a server id (07 in the following trace) which doesn't even exist in the Site Id Table.
There are no changes in the configuration. DNS is properly configured and all the servers and their connectivity are available. CoreSystem throws these errors even after a restart of opensso app servers.
Any ideas about the root cause?

Thank You for the response.
Here is my site configuration in OpenSSO:
There are 4 servers in the two opensso hosts (2 secure, 2 non secure)
Servers:
http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO
http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
Only one site with secure URLs is configured
Sites:
site1
Primary URL: https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO
Assigned Servers:
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
From the CoreSystem log, Server ID definitions are:
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO=01
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO=02
https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO=03
http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO=04
http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO=05
Sometimes it throws an exception with existing server IDs. But sometimes it also complains about non existing server IDs.

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

Background callable object : can not find this class name

Hi All ,
I am following this tutorial link for creating background callable object
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/9a/e8934258a5ca6ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
I have created java and enterprise application DC and deployed successfully. But while creating CO in design time when i am selecting application and entering class as com.examples.bckgco.UserDetailsCallableObject for Implementation Class Name , and on click next i m getting exception as "can not find this class name". package and class name are correct still getting this excetpion message. Plz help me to resolve this solution.
Regards
Kavita

Hi, kavita.
First, make sure you choosed the correct container when you created the background CO.
Second, make sure your package name was "com.examples.bckgco" and class name was "UserDetailsCallableObject". The exception which you got just means you entered incorrect name.
It doesn`t relate to your program.
Best Regards.
Louis Huang.

Folder from my desktop has disappeared and I can not find it!

I'm hoping someone out there can help me. To put it in short, I have been typing my notes for an exam that I need to pass for my medical license for the last couple of months. Yesterday I went to save the newest document to the folder (which I had saved on the Desktop of my Mac) and it wasn't there anymore. I'm not sure if any other files are missing because that was the main one that I was using at the time. I went into Microsoft Word and File > Recent and they are all listed there but when I click to open them it says that it can not find the file and if I would like to search for it myself. I do have an external hard drive but I guess I did not back up my stuff since I started working on these notes (yeah yeah I know dumb mistake). Can anyone help? I tried using StellarPhoenixMac recovery but I don't think it found anything worth while. Thanks.

Try repairing disk permissions using Disk Utility.
Repairing a disk's permissions using Disk Utility.
Note: This should not delete any information or files from the disk.
Repairing a disk's permissions can help solve various file-related issues.
To begin, make sure your external disk that you are repairing is connected to the computer. If you are repairing an internal disk, skip this step.
After the drive is connected, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
Go Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
Once you are in the Disk Utility app, select the external drive from the sidebar on the left.
Then, choose the Repair Disk Permissions button on the right.
If this does not solve your issues, you may have no choice but to reformat the drive using Disk Utility.
I hope I answered your question.

A Script to Find and Replace Layer Names

Are there any scripts to find and replace layer names?
There is an excellent script available for Photoshop which allows you to not only replace words in layer names, but also insert words as Prefixes, Suffixes and Sequential Numbers.
The illustrator version of this script only allows sequential numbering: It doesn't offer find and replacing of words.
Ideally, it would be great if there was something that could do multiple find and replaces in one go:
(e.g.
You have layers like this Car, Dog, Bat
You enter: car(Option1), dog(Option2), Bat(Option3)
Your layers then become: Option1, Option2, Option3).

big_smile, that's a very good start! Step 1 of Learning How To Script is indeed, adjusting an existing simple script to make it do more complicated things. (And usually then "break something", which is also a required part of the process.)
You are correct in your observation this is repetitive stuff. For one or two different items that wouldn't be a problem, but in longer lists you soon get lost.
The usual way of working with find-change lists is to build an array:
var layernames = [
[ 'FHairBowlBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy1' ],
[ 'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy2' ],
[ 'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy3' ],
The general idea is to loop over all names, check if the current layer name is "layernames[i][0]" (the left column) and if so, rename it to "layernames[i][1]" (the right column). If you know how to write a loop in Javascript, then you can implement this right away.
However ..
A more advanced way to do this doesn't even need loop to over all layernames -- instead you can immediately "get" the correct name per layer! It's magic! Almost!
The trick is to use a Javascript object instead of an array. Javascript objects are nothing special; Illustrator's 'layers' is an array of objects, and each object "layer" has a property "name", whose value you can read and set. What I do here is create a new object, where the "name" part is the original layer name and its value is the new layer name. All you need to check for per each layer is if there is a property 'object.originalLayerName', and if so, assign its value to that layer name.
This looks a bit like the array above, except that (1) you use {..} instead of [..] to create an object, and (2) you add "name:value" pairs instead of "value" only (actually, the 'name' of a value in an array is simply its number).
So this is what it looks like:
// JavaScript Document
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// name indexed object
var layernames = {
'FHairBowlBoy *Hair':'Hairboy1',
'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair':'Hairboy2',
'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair':'Hairboy3'
// loop through all layers
for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++)
//Set up Variable to access layer name
var currentLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
if (layernames[currentLayer.name])
currentLayer.name = layernames[currentLayer.name];
Enjoy!

Mail can not find certificate in key safe

Hi,
I am using own certificates that work all fine with all pc and iphones and ipads and macs using OS below 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.10.1.
Since I updated a mac pro to the new OS, mail can sign and encrypt replies to received mail, but can not find the certificate when creating new mails.
An error windows drops from the top in the mail editor window (message can not be signed, no trustworthy certificate could be found):
When mail is started fresh, it shows in the properties a certificate line
Once a new mail was tried to produce with using certificates the TLS line disappears:
I think something is wrong in mail. Any idea?

First, the address associated with the S/MIME public key must exactly match the address to which you're trying to send the encrypted message, or from which you're trying to send a signed message. If the message is both signed and encrypted, both addresses must match. The matching is case-sensitive: "[email protected]" does not match "[email protected]".
The signing and/or encrypting certificates must be valid: not expired, revoked, self-signed, or signed by an unknown CA. You can check the status of the certificate in Keychain Access (see below.)
If you can't encrypt or sign messages to a valid address with a valid certificate, continue.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
If the box labeled Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select Keychain from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
Quit and relaunch Mail. Test. If the problem isn't resolved, continue.
Export all S/MIME certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
          Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Test again. If the test fails, delete all the certificates again, then reinstall them from fresh copies.

Spotlight can't find TextEdit, other apps found ok

I have a very odd problem. Spotlight can't find TextEdit anymore, even if I type the name of the app fully in the field. The app is right where it should be in the Applications folder. It hasn't been excluded from search and I have done a reindex of Spotlight but the problem persists.
Other apps come up exactly right.

And just to be on the safe side, this thread did not solve my problem. Briefly, it's not about Spotlight getting mixed up because of external HDs.
