Why did safari stop showing in spotlight?

Spotlight always shows applications first. Safari always appeared when I typed "saf" in the spotlight search field. Suddenly, one day it stopped showing up. Safari is still in the application folder and the icon is still on my dock? What happened and how can I get it back?

Go to ~/Library/Preferences.
Move the com.apple.spotlight.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try Spotlight
And check Safari / Preferences Spotlight then select the Search Results tab.
Make sure Applications is at the top of the list. If not, just drag it up.

Why did safari stop saving history-bookmarks?

When I open history in Safari, I see only up to end of August (this is Sept. 18). Also, if I add a bookmark it stays during the session, but does no persist across close and open of Safari. I did not change safari preferences. I am running OS 10.7.1 on a macbookPro. I can't recall any changes I made on Sept. 1 - maybe a software update. Are there any similar problems or possible fixes?

I see only up to end of August (this is Sept. 18)
Go to Safari / Preferences - General
You may need click the pop up menu to reset where you see: Remove history items
For the bookmark issue, could be a corrupted preference (.plist) file.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.

Why did apple stop selling carbon audio's zooka bluetooth wireless speakers?

I saw this very interesting Bluetooth speaker from Carbon Audio called Zooka in Apple store few weeks back, but I was still trying to make up my mind about it, but to my surprise this model siezed to exit on the online store, and all searches aggersively point me to other models when I insist on searching for it by name.
Question: why did apple stop selling carbon audio's zooka bluetooth wireless speakers? Is there something wrong with it, or is it one of thse commercial disputes that I dont need to know about, and I'm good to look for it elsewhere.

I just got this reply back fron Carbon Audio's help Desk if anyone's interested:
Apple had an issue with our labeling, forcing us to recall all of our product to relabel it. That process is complete and Apple will be restocking their shelves very shortly."

Why did apple stop supporting disc installed video games in their macs

I was wondering why did apple support disc installed games like spore on older macs but they wont install on the newer macs. This is really bothering me because i like disc installed videos games they are safer and you have to purchase them in order to play them unless you have a crack. Now apple is saying that discs are obsolete when really they aren't.

These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk (volunteers) post questions and offer answers (technical support) to each other.None of us users take part in any of Apple's decisions and/or why they do the things that do. Your best bet would be to post your concerns over on the Product Feedback website.

I'm trying to import CD's for my daughter, several have worked fine , but now itunes tests show no CD detected. Why did it stop working?

I'm new to this. Going on a trip, bought an ipad for my daughter-figured most of it out. I transferred her music from my computer to my ipad. Still in the process of importing CD's to my computer....all of a sudden, stopped importing! Tried the trouble shooting, and it says it's not detecting a CD in the drive. What happened? How do I fix this?

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

Why did Macmail stop working on my desktop yesterday?

Yesterday, Apple did an “update” to Macmail that makes it impossible to get my email.
What are you going to do about it and when?
Thank you for contacting MetroCast Internet Technical Support,   What program are you using on your desktop, and is your desktop computer a Mac? Because if it is and you are using the MacMail program there was an update released from Apple that is causing issues with the program talking to our servers. If it is MacMail I would recommend contacting Apple and let them know you are being affected by this issue. If it is not a Mac or you are using a different mail program I would suggest looking through the account settings to make sure the Username is your full EMail address and clear out any password section and type it in fresh to make sure the settings didn't get corrupted.  Regards, Brandon O  Internet Technical Support [email protected] 800-608-6480  If you have any comments, compliments or complaints, please email my Manager: [email protected] Click here to visit our Self-Help page http://metrocast.com/support.cfm

Why am I, suddenly, after months of successful email connection, unable to connect to my email? It works on my iPad, my iPhone, but refuses to work on my desktop computer. It worked this morning, but then suddenly stopped working mid-day and I get this stupid message: Can't connect to the account. Unable to verify account name or password.

Why does safari stop opening web pages after a while in use?

Since upgrading to Lion, my imac (Intel) 21.5 works fine for most of the time, but frequently when using Safari to browse the internet, it will stop accessing pages, either from new searches or from history - the blue loading bar in the address panel starts, then stops. Safari itself keeps working, new tabs can be opened, history can be checked, etc. Checking the Wi-Fi shows that it is still connected, and other PCs and ipods in the house can still access the net, showing it is not a net or router problem. Restarting the machine does not usually cure the issue, only shutting down for a long period, eg overnight, when it generally starts up fine again.
This has been happening almost since I upgraded 2 months ago, but not every time we use Safari.

You can do some basic Safari trouble shooting by:
Safari - Reset Safari
Safari - Empty Cache
You can also be just low on RAM. As a general rule your system should have about 500MB or more of FREE RAM. To check to see how much your system has open Activity Monitor - System Memory Tab and look for the amount of free RAM. You can find AM in Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor. Remember to check when you are seeing a slow down otherwise the information will be meaningless. The graphic will look similar to:

Why has safari stopped opening pdf pages?

Has anyone had the problem that I've been having? When I click on a link that contains a pdf, Safari used to open the file in a new tab for me to view. Now, when I attempt that same procedure, all I get from Safari is a gray screen.
I've been to the genius bar and they erased my Mac and reloaded the operating system again. Everything worked fine for several week but then today, it just stopped. I was not doing anything out of the ordinary but the only thing I did today was set my system to use Adobe to open pdf files (not webpages) instead of Preview. I did switch back and even removed Adobe from my Mac.
Please...any help??? I should't have to go and have my operating system wiped out and reloaded again. There should just be a simple answer to turn something on or off in Safari.
I did try to reload Safari - deleted it and then downlaoded it again but apparently it never fully deletes because the new one that I download still has my bookmarks. How can I do a full removal and new install??

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Why did Adobe stop the support in Air for iOS?

Today Adobe said that he stop with the developing for iOS,
It`s mean that he will NOT update the AIR for iOS for newer iOS (like iOS 5).
I paid many money for a Flash`s license and AppStore`s member!
What sould I do now?

What was talked about today is the development of the Flash Player for mobile browsers, that will end after the next version is released. iOS is not affected by that, because Flash didn't work in Safari on iOS anyway.
Adobe did talk about how they were going to do more with AIR mobile apps, so if anything today's announcements is good news for AIR for iOS.
