Why doesn't my Finder search work?

Wanted to perform a search of text content in some PDFs. There are, say, 30 x 5-20 page PDFs sitting in a couple of folders, on a server I'm connected to. In Finder, I hit Apple F and then asked it to search the root folder those folders were sitting in, for one word that I knew was in one of the PDFs, specifying 'kind' as PDF. The title bar of the Finder window says 'searching FolderName' but even if I leave it there all day, nothing appears. Why not? It's also hard to know if it's actually doing anything because there's no 'in progress' symbol.

Spotlight isn't indexing the server, so it won't find anything there.

or

Why doesn't the Keyword search work with Final Cut Pro X

Most of my images have keywords. I will frequently search these keywords. However, I find in some cases Final Cut Pro will simply not find some words. The words are indeed there, Final Cut Pro just cannot find them.

Details, please.
What you find depends on where and how you search.
If you have a library selected, any search will be in that library; if you have a keyword collection that is where the search will be done, and so on.

Why doesn't Maven find jfxrt.jar, although it is included in the JDK?

Hi,
Why doesn't Maven find jfxrt.jar, although it is included in the JDK?
My solution to build JavaFX apps with Maven is:
<dependency>
            <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
            <artifactId>javafx</artifactId>
            <version>2.2</version>
            <scope>system</scope>
            <systemPath>${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>It works, but I wonder why the Maven build process can't find it automatically, as any other Java dependency, too.
If I build without the dependency, it can't find javafx imports.
Since Java 7 Update 6 it is included in the JDK.

There is a long drawn-out thread on this (you don't need to read it):
Error initializing OC4J server (JDev 10.1.3 EA1) "JDK 7u6 JavaFX integration - Is jfxrt.jar supposed to be on the classpath?"
Short summary is that jfxrt.jar is in the jdk/jre as of 7u6, but not on the default classpath for the jdk/jre (as of 7u13).
This will change in a future release (e.g. I believe the latest early access builds of jdk8 do have jfxrt.jar on the default runtime classpath).
So for now, you will need to explicitly add jfxrt.jar to the classpath. There are various ways to do this, one is to use a system dependency and then use the maven ant run plugin to package your app as is done in this example: http://code.google.com/p/willow-browser/source/browse/pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javafx</groupId>
<artifactId>jfxrt</artifactId>
<version>${javafx.min.version}</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${javafx.runtime.lib.jar}</systemPath>
</dependency>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.6</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
      <id>create-launcher-jar</id>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>run</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <target xmlns:fx="javafx:com.sun.javafx.tools.ant">
          <taskdef
              uri="javafx:com.sun.javafx.tools.ant"
              resource="com/sun/javafx/tools/ant/antlib.xml"
              classpath="${javafx.tools.ant.jar}"/>
            <fx:application id="fxApp"
                name="${project.name}"
                mainClass="${exec.mainClass}"/>
            <fx:jar destfile="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-launcher">
              <fx:application refid="fxApp"/>
              <fx:fileset dir="${project.build.directory}/classes"/>
            </fx:jar>
            <attachartifact
                file="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-launcher.jar"
                classifier="launcher"/>
        </target>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
</executions>
</plugin>Another way would be to make use of the zenjava javafx maven plugin:

Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
(XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
You do get a nice answer of something like .035. But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far --
"Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date). Maybe you could pass this on too?:
/{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x := 0;
datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
numbervar i := 0;
numbervar j := 0;
//{@accum} for the detail section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
numbervar i := i + 1;
numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
if i <= j then (
redim preserve x[j];
redim preserve y[j];
x<i> := tonumber({table.currency});
y<i> := datevalue({table.datetime})
//{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
xirr(x,y)
The array works correctly. So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should? Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
-265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76, 0.00
01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
=XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0?
Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
Thanks in advance,
Gary
PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495

Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

Hey MarieF-D,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108
Troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why doesn't my duplicate frame work in photoshop 2014?

why doesn't my duplicate frame work in photoshop 2014?
I draw a figure in frame 0 then duplicate frame. After the frame is duplicated I move the figure over to make sure there are different frames but as soon as I check the first frame Ive noticed that both frames have moved together. So nothing has changed. Why?

I always create the individual frames in layer groups first. So build what you need, break them up or duplicate them, position them where you want them and then create your frames by turning off all the layer groups or layers you don't need.
Here is an example of one of my layer pallets:
Each scene is a frame and I turn them on and off as I need them.

Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.

Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience. I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion. I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file? You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Why doesn't my audio input work?

I have a Macbook with OS X and have never been able to get an external microphone to produce sound on the computer. I was using an old pair of headphones but the brand new pair I bought also do not produce any sound. They are the basic headphones with a mic attached and plug into the Macbook using two mini-plugs in the two audio ports (one for input, one for output). I can hear sounds in the headphones just fine. But I'm only able to talk if I use the internal microphone on the Macbook, which is inconvenient as it picks up too much background noise. I'd rather use the external mic.
When I got into my preferences > sound > input, there are two choices there:
Internal microphone -- type: Built-In
Line In -- type: Audio Line-in Port
I select the second option and nothing works. Am I missing something here?

Well, FWIW, I did a lot of searching on here and it seems that this type of basic, unpowered mic will not work with my Macbook Pro (OS 10.7.5) and that any audio input has to be powered in some way -- a cd player for example that provides a powered signal into a pair of headphones or into the computer. I bought one of those very basic $15 headsets with microphone from Wal-Mart. Two different brands failed to produce any sound. (though the sound OUTPUT to the headphones works just fine)
Oddly enough, I did call Apple Tech Support and they were confused and unaware of why the headset' mic shouldn't work just fine. So apparently, this is not a "known" issue. So I'm just going to pay a little more and go buy a Bluetooth or USB headset.

Why doesn't my default email work?

Hey Ya'll,
Quick question if anyone can help. I have a new MacBookPro, and LOVE it. My email was working great, but as soon as my free trial of .mac expired, I can't get my default email from my non-.mac account. Why doesn't it work and what do I do to get it working?
Alisa

Launch Mail and select preferences and reset your mail app to Mail. If you were using web-based mail with the trial .Mac account, I don't know if any of that's recoverable. Check the .Mac forum.
