  • The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage

    The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
    This is not fun.

    Make sure that <b>[] "Match case"</b> on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

    Alauda_positos I would recommend reviewing your installation log files to determine the exact directory which the installer is unable to access.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors discovered to this discussion.

    I just signed up for a subscription to adobe reader paying EUR 24.40.
    The program does not work, and I can not even go to my personal page .... help ...?

    Adobe Reader is free; it does not require a subscription.
    Did you subscribe to an online service like ExportPDF, PDF Pack, ...?
    What exactly does "not work" mean?

    Great tip Stephen!!
    I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
    Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

    Find my friends Icon disappeared after upgrade to ios 8. I tried restarting as well as reinstalled the app but its not working. I can find it in Usage, but not in spot light. Pla help!!

    I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

  • After a crash during the installation of Captivate, the installation program does not "initialize" and the installation procedure stops. Any suggestion?

    I bought “Captivate” few days ago. I received the internet address to download the program and the activation number. I downloaded the program (OK), started the installation program (OK) and received indications that the decompression process was OK. Then the installation started and I was asked to introduce the activation number (OK). After this, a bar showing the progress of the installation was shown on the screen. The bar stopped at 2%. I waited more than 20 min and saw no progress. Then I decided to start the “windows task manager” to see if the process was active. I have windows 7, so I pressed alt-ctrl-del  and received the message (2-5 min later) that the task manager could not start. I waited more time (more than 1 hour) and since the installation progress was still indicating 2% and since I still could not activate the task manager, I rebooted the computer.
    I then tried to reinstall the program. After the decompression, I receive the message:”Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe support advisor to detect the problem”. I followed the link to discover that the program is no more available.
    What should I do?

  • I installed mountain lion os on my mac book pro and now Word for Mac and my Fluenz Spanish programs do not work. How can I go back to my original OS? Thanks

    I installed Mountain Lion OS on my Mac Book Pro and now WORD for Mac and Fluenz Spanish program do not work. How do I reinstall original OS and scrap ML?
    Thanks

    My previous answer still stands: Restore from your backup taken before you upgaded to Mountain Lion. For example, a Time Machine backup, a Carbon Copy Cloner clone, or a commercial backup service. Not the disk that came with your computer (which is how I read "OS back up disk").
    If you reinstall the original OS from the disk that came with your computer, it will wipe out everything on your computer. (The installer won't install an older OS over a newer one, so you'll have to wipe the disk first.) Then you'll need to restore your data from your backup and reinstall applications like Word.

  • Why am I getting the error the installation package could not be opened when trying to install on Windows 7 64 bit

    I reciece the follwing message when trying to install
    "The Installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists, or contact the application vendor to verify that this a valid windows installer package"

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    The A key is not working  all other keys are working.  Updated software but still have the same problem.  This code also came up at around the same time ! uncaught exception: index 3 >=3.  Can anyone help.

    Hey Lizziebear,

  • The links toolbar is not working. I can drag addresses to it, but when I click on them, the sites don't open. How can I fix this?

    There is a toolbar feature in the lower right corner of the taskbar. I tried to set up the Links toolbar. I can drag addresses to this, but when I click them, nothing happens. What should happen is the site/page whose address I clicked should open.
    How can I fix this? Is it a problem with the Firefox I'm currently using?

    I checked out the links you provided. One is dead, one is for Windows 7, which doesn't apply to my problem because I'm using Windows 8, and I've been checking out the third.
    I'm a novice and may not have the right vocabulary to explain myself. The Links toolbar is accessed from the bottom right side of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Apparently Firefox is necessary to use this, as everyone I've talked to swears it's not visible for IE.
    What I'm referring to is Right-click "show hidden icons." Scroll up to Toolbars. Scroll over to Links. Check it to enable it. Then what should happen is I should be able to drag the address/url from the top of the page to this menu and click on it when I want to go back to that particular page. That is what is not working. Nothing happens when I click the addresses in the Links menu.

  • Hi, i have Ipad 4 the mic is not working  skype account can  you tel me what i can do to get it working.

    Hi,
    i have ipad 4 the mic is not working for skype account can u tel me what i can do to get it working?

    No Japanese carrier provides unlocking services. Therefore, your phone must have been hacked to unlock it. That hack was removed when you updated the software. You need to be a legitimately unlocked phone.
    Best of luck.

  • My Facebook "click to post" in the notification center is not working. (Mac OSX 10.8.3). what should i do? :(

    When i click the "click to tweet" button, it works, but when i click the "click to post", nothing happens---plus my twitter button wont work afterwards. so i have to restart my mac again. tried removing my fb account then adding it again, but still doesn't work. Any solutions?

    It is most likely because Notification Center alters the menu bar and the dock itself. My facebook and my twitter button won't work properly either, but when i double-click the buttons it works. but i can't understand why your twitter button works once but won't work again.
