Typing in Finder doesn't highlight files (after installing 10.4.6)

Normally when I type a few characters in the Finder it starts highlighting the first file that begins with those characters. Now I don't know if it has anything to do with installing 10.4.6 last night, but since then the Finder doesn't jump to files anymore. It's really annoying, now I have to use my mouse and really LOOK for the file. Did I accidently change some preferences or is it a bug in 10.4.6?
Thanks,
Youri

I just checked a bunch of different 10.4.6 Macs here and none of them have this problem. I don't think it is 10.4.6 that caused your problem but unfortunately I don't know what did cause it or what to tell you to fix it.

Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

UNABLE TO OPEN FCP 6.02 PROJECT FILES AFTER INSTALLING LEOPARD!

**Unable to open FCP 6.02 project files after installing Leopard**. Tested and found that the files can be opened on another computer with OS 10.4.10, but not OS 10.5. Spoke to apple support many times, and have tried reinstalling FCP, but it didn't work.
Apple is now saying to erase my HD and reinstall from scratch. This presents a problem since i have software installed but no disc due to a move, (they are deep in offsite storage).
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know a fix?

Lynne,
There is a section in the manual on the migration tool... I don't have my machine fired up right now so can't direct you to the exact page. I think a search for migration or migrate should do it.
Two other things to try:
1. There have been numerous reports that Quicktime 7.3 is what is killing older projects. According to one of the third party program makers Apple re-wrote Quicktime changing the null value to Zero from minus-one. I'm not a code junkie so can't vouch for this but the upshot would be, go back to Quicktime 7.1 or 7.2 not 7.3
2. There is a Quicktime plugin called "Perian". For lots of people it has caused numerous problems.
Look for Perian on your machine and if you find it, drag the app to the trash... re boot and try again.
Of course the ultimate solution would be to reinstall Tiger, Final Cut Studio 2 and Quicktime 7.2. So far the most stable combined setup for me and lots of others on G5 machines.
36 degrees and thunderstorms with sleet here this afternoon. The door on my storage unit is staying closed.

Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
Quicklook works fine.
Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.

Finder doesn't show file saved in certain folder

Something very strange is happening to my mac.
In my Documents folder there is a folder named "CV". Whenever I try to save files to this destination (CV), these files won't show (at least immediately --- let's say in the next minutes) in the folder. BUT if I search for them in the finder, here they are! I can find them, open them...
If I save the same files to another location (the Documents folder, the Desktop), they are immediately saved to the specified destination.
Can anyone explain what is happening?

OK, let me give you 5+10 points and mark this problem solved!
Thanks! I think that maybe it'sreally like you said - that some apps maybe prompted and today I noticed that the Finder doesn't, and got confused...

Finder doesn't show file delete warning message

I think that some time ago when I deleted any file or folder in the Finder, it showed me warning message... Now when I select file and press Command+Backspace (Delete), file goes immediately to the Trash without any warning message. Is this correct or there had to be some warning? I looked in Finder's preferences, but couldn't find any check-box for that... If there should be a warning message, how can I restore it?
Thanks in advance!
My system:
Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM, 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, 100GB HDD (43GB free), SuperDrive, AirPort, Bluetooth
Mac OS X 10.4.7 with the latest security updates

OK, let me give you 5+10 points and mark this problem solved!

Can not find weblogic_sp.jar file after installed weblogic

I just installed weblogic server (using weblogic610sp2_win.exe file) on my windows
2000 pro box. Everything looks fine but I can not find the < weblogic_sp.jar >
file. I noticed some guys met same problem but no answer.
can you help me ?

Hi.
Don't worry about it.
The reference to weblogic_sp.jar is a leftover from previous methods for updating
service packs. Nowadays when you install a service pack it is integrated into the
weblogic.jar file. If you have any doubts about your server version after installing
or applying a service pack you should check the server version via the console
(Servers|<server name>|Monitoring|Versions). Your version string should look
something like: "WebLogic Server 6.1 SP2 12/18/2001 11:13:46 #154529"
Regards,
Michael

Cannot link files in illustrator CC, as finder window closes by itself after installing maverick

Hi, After installing Mavericks (Doh!) I can no longer link files in illustrator CC as the finder window closes by itself after one second or if I click on anything. It was happening with save as also, but that seems to have rectified itself by reinstalling the program. Anyone any thoughts? Im in a spot of bother!

Xorg.conf file after install? Where?

I know this is probably the worst question to ask but I couldn't find anything in the search for it. I just installed Arch (using a .7 CD) with an FTP install and naturally it chose the xorg7 version. His XServer starts alright but I noticed we both can't seem to find the xorg.conf file... usually it's in the /etc/X11/ folder (I think that's where it is on mine at home.)
The mouse, screen and almost everything works but for the life of me I can't find this configuration file. Does it use defaults if one doesn't exist or perhaps it's somewhere I'm not looking? Any advice would be appreciated as it isn't using the nvidia glx drivers but the basic nv.
Thanks in advance.
(Forgot to mention I'm used to using the X.org 6 version on my home PC and just trying to figure this out before I upgrade to 7.)

mac57 wrote:Alternately, you can just copy an old xorg.conf from another distro you have been using, place it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit appropriately. This is what I did, and it worked like a champ.
You'll want to be carefull about that with xorg7. The path locations will change then. It may be better to generate a new one and copy in the difference in options.

Theme editor doesn't work anymore after install of KMC

I have a portal 6.0.9.4 (stack 9 with patch 4) in which I have developed a few themes with the portal theme editor. Today I have added KMC (also stack 9, patch2) and the installation of KMC has succeeded.
Now every user has a portal favorites iview (part of KMC), but this iview (which is shown in the navigation panel) has the standard color layout and does not match the one that I have designed.
When I open the theme navigator it works, but when i select another option, for example layout of navigation panel instead of the masthead iview, the preview of the navigation panel doesn't appear. After this the complete portal fails, because I get a java exception error as you can see at the bottom of this message. The J2E engine has to be restarted to get the portal running again.
I believe that after installation of KMC the number of options in the theme editor should be increased, because it must be possible to choose the layout of the portal favorites iview, but this cannot be seen in the theme editor. Maybe the theme editor is looking for these settings and it cannot find them. Am I right about this? I also tried to open the standard SAP themes, but this doesn't solve the problem. The problem with the standard themes is the same.
Best regards,
J. Winkelmans

HT3775 Why will QT 10.3 not open my .mov files after installing Mavericks?

Why do some of my .mov files not open with QT after installing Mavericks?

Were you using Perian before? I'm not sure about this, but I don't think it does anything in Mavericks as the plug-in API changed. I have no idea how to check if Perian is actually doing anything anymore. The developers have ceased supporting it.
Try playing in VLC.

E-mail doesn't sync automatically after installing...

I'm using an e-mail address under my personal domain in my N8. Everything worked well when using Symbian Anna but now after installing Belle - there's a problem: e-mail doesn't sync automatically.
When I set my e-mail box up will the sync work for few times just fine. But then it stops working. Manual-sync works fine and there's not a single problem. I have tried to re-set the box again and again but in the end it's always the same: syncs automatically few times but then it stops working.
Any ideas what to do?

I've managed to get sync working again without a reset...
Went into Mail.
Deleted all my e-mail accounts.
Exited the Mail application.
Turned off the mobile.
Removed SIM.
Turned on the mobile.
Went into Mail.
Went into settings, confirmed there was nothing there.
Tried to add a new account, I was only offered Exchange ActiveSync.
Exited the Mail application.
Turned off the mobile.
Held power button for eight seconds (mobile vibrates 3 times and turns off).
Put the SIM in.
Turned on the mobile.
Went into Mail.
Went into settings, set up one e-mail account.
As I'm not interested in Nokia Mail and I want a direct connection, I did the following to set up the account...
Put a false address and password in because I want a direct connection to Yahoo but if I choose Yahoo then I get Nokia Mail's version.
Chose POP3/IMAP.
Rejected the terms and conditions.
Put the settings in manually.
Went back into the settings and chose a syncronisation period of 15 minutes.
Deleted the e-mail widget (I'm not interested in it).
Confirmed it was working by sending myself an e-mail from another address.
Does it work for other people?

Computer can't find DVD/CD-ROM drives after installing iTunes

After installing iTunes, my computer no longer can detect my DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives. They've disappeared from the "My Computer" window.
I ran "System Restore" and the disc drives showed up, but now they're undetected once again after I re-installed iTunes. I've restarted, I've uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes, I've run the built-in diagnostic self-checks on the drives, I downloaded updated drivers, I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, spent 1 hour on the phone with Apple support, and finally spent 2 hours on the phone with Dell Support. Nothing. Please help--I want to be able to use my iPod with Windows.

Hey there. May I interject? Anyone mind?
For the most part, what's occurring is one of two things. Either...
A) an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some folks, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists.
or
B) a virus (or trojan) burrows its way into your file structure, and creates an element of itself disguised as a .SYS file. We've seen this happen before with viral elements disguising themselves as audio or video card driver files, in the efforts of masking themselves from lower-class anti-virus programs (or un-updated ones). In this case, they take on the name of a driver file that the optical drives are "familiar" with, and so, with the intention of being "fast, friendly, and efficient", the optical drives are tapped to utilize this new "driver" file... and it gets referenced in the registry as such.
However, when your anti-virus actually snaps to it, and removes the virus / trojan, and you go off on a virus-killing mission, galavanting through the registry and cleaning the little buggers out in Safe Mode and everything... you might remove the viral elements... but... the reference to them might still remain. The device manager is still looking for that "driver file", and will cause the optical drives to lock up in a Code 39 or Code 41 because of it.
Either way, the thing to do to reclaim your optical drives is located in your registry here:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
You'll want to have that open, and a mini-window of the following:
START -> CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> Hardware (tab) -> DEVICE MANAGER -> Offending Drive (with yellow tag by it) Right-Mouse-Click and PROPERTIES -> Driver (tab) -> DRIVER DETAILS
Notice that list. It references all the drivers that that particular drive is utilizing. There should be a single .DLL (dynamic link library) file and multiple .SYS files. It's the .SYS files we're focusing on, and they should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder stem. If you want to open a new window explorer, and go verify that each of those driver files still exists in that folder stem, you may.
At this point, compare the Driver File Detail list with the Registry Tree Location you're sitting in, and look at the UpperFilterCheck and LowerFilterCheck key values. Your offending key value will NOT be on your Driver File Detail list!!! It might be as small as "PFC" or something else, but that value is referencing to a driver file that no longer exists. Delete that offending key value. Close the registry.
Close the Driver File Details and Drive Properties windows. At this point, to finish this up, you need to Soft Uninstall (Right-mouse-click on the drive, and hit "Uninstall" ) the drive(s), let the Device Manager refresh... then hit ACTION -> Scan For Hardware Changes ...
This should start a new Found New Hardware cycle, and.... poof!... your drives should be back to normal
I don't know if this will help, I think it should.
Good Luck. Post back if you have a problem.
