Spotlight dings when I try to search...

I am working on writing my book so i have Microsoft Word 2011 open & searching online for information on stuff.
So I go back to my desktop with finder showing, then click in the upper right hand corner to search & it dings.
I have to click the F3 button to scatter the open screens & then I can click the search button... why does it do this. Why can't I access the search function without the computer giving me a ding?
let me know if that makes sense.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a similar problem with the original iPad. The screen doesn't freeze but the iTunes app quits. I tried the standard "repairs" that I always recommend to others but no joy.
Regarding the downloading time, obviously your Internet access data rate is the determining factor but an hour is not unreasonable.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

I recently upgraded to the latest version of FF and now when using a webmail client I am routinely logged out when I try to search e-mail. Why? I go to IE and it works... but, I hate IE.

Unstable means it can vary in stability day by day as it can be crash prone to being stable. Features can be a work in progress for a while. The May 24 Nighty build was crash prone for a lot of testers for example.

When I try to search in the App store I get a "cannot connect to iTunes" error.

Everything else in the store works, i.e. top charts, updating apps, etc. It's not my internet because iTunes works on my phone via wifi and 3G. I have tried taking the iPad back to factory settings, resetting the iPad with an iCloud back up, tried using another network, tried setting the time a year ahead and reverting back, tried setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and still wont work. Note: This is only when I try to search in iTunes.
Addition: iTunes wont let me search either. So App Store and iTunes wont let me search.

That is a know problem. See:

Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things?

     Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things? I start to enter something in the search window. I get a drop down with suggestion I choose one and it pops up in my search window but just turns a color and does nothing!
    If I quit Safari and bring it back up, then enter the exact same line it's fine. This is just one of the many problems I've been
having with Safari since I installed Yosemite.
     Has anyone got any suggestions or is anyone having the same problem. Is there a way to maybe force my MacBook pro to reinstall Safari or possibly all of Yosemite. I seem to be having a lot of problems and judging by the responses I've received (That would be None) I must be the only one having any problem at all withYosemite. Not sure what to do.
     Any help or suggestions would be great

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do you fix a R6025 pure virtual function call error? When I try to search for music, iTunes freezes & returns this message.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does the App Store on my iPod kick me out when I try to search for an app?

The App Store on my iPod touch keeps kicking me out when I try to search for an app or when I go to genius. I updated to ios6 today and this hasn't happened before. What can I do?

I have the same problem on my iPod Touch 4 (IOS6). My iPhone 4S (IOS6) works fine. But the App Store crashes when I hit the Genius bar in App Store. Apparently other folks are having this same problem. I've rebooted, but that doesn't help.

They're not meant to communicate with each other that way. The bluetooth is largely meant for keyboards or headphones.

When I try and search without the web address it says the file is not known

When I type a search into the search bar it says
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-GB/locale/browser-region/region.propertiestor+homes.

I found this solution that worked for me in this thread
[[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/806157]]
Type '''about:config''' in the location bar at the top, then type '''keyword.URL''' in the filter at the top.
Then double click the entry and remove whatever you find in there which will return it to "Default" and "String".
Then close Firefox via File | Exit.
Restart and then try typing one of your queries again.
