Why won't contacts and search boxes go blank after I'm done

Why does the iPhone leave all my completed searches in the search box so I have to manually remove the text the next time I want to search something else?
It does this with phone numbers AFTER I've called them as well. Why? Do they think I'm going to search the same person multiple times in a row? Or call the same number? And even if I did, that number is in recents so why is it also in the number box so I have to manually delete it to call somebody else? This doesn't save time it wastes it!

No one here would know why Apple has made a particular interface design decision. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Best of luck.

Why won't 'Address and Search' from 'Customize Toolbar' box 'stick' when I drag it to my toolbar? I ran updates last night, and my Google searchbox disappeared and I can't get it back.

Safari 6 ?
URL address bar and Google search field are combined together in Safari 6.
Apple calls it Smart Search field.
There is no way to separate them.

Adobe Reader X locks address bar and search box in Firefox

Hi all,
I've been using Adobe Reader X in Firefox 3.16 and I've just noticed an interesting "feature".
When reading a pdf from the web, Adobe Reader locks the address bar and search box so you cannot type a new address or search using the google search box. It just won't let you enter any text. Even on opening a new blank tab. Has anyone else come accross this and is there a fix? Cheers.

Oh it was a problem with Adobe's Plug-in. As per [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804580#answer-167069 MrKoffee's answer ], I noticed that I already had Adobe Reader X installed but nevertheless I went to adobe.com to download it again. When I installed it this time, it said "installing updated patch". Went back to Firefox to check and problem solved! :)
Ps. did not need to disable any previous plug-in or even close Firefox.

My homepage is Google but the logo and search box seems higher on the page than normal...can I adjust the position?

I had to set the settings on Google to Do Not Use Google Instant in their search settings as no cursor was showing on the google search box. After the change it seems that the Google logo and search box seems higher on the Firefox page. I would like to be able to adjust the height of the Google logo/search box. Please tell me if I can make that adjustment.

Thank you for the information about the zoom feature on Firefox. I had found that under the View menu (although I did find it was a temporary fix and the Tools/Options/Font method does change it for a "stick") and changing the font size does increase the size and enlarges or "moves" the logo and search box on Google but that also increases the font size displayed in the search screen. I was hoping to find a way to move the Google logo and search box down on the home page a bit but not change the font size but realize that may be too fine of an adjustment. The zoom feature added to the toolbar via customization may be a good solution for me. Thank you again for your helpfulness.

I was writing to -R dvds fine from blank dvds purchased last year. Inserted newer purchase -R dvds and MacPro spits out dvd. Why won't my computer now accept -R blank dvds?

Likely either the batch of media is defective, or the drive itself is not working.
Swap for different media; for a different batch from a different vendor, and also try +R media.
The slot-loading drives on various Mac systems can and variously do fail. If different media doesn't work, then you probably have a failed drive.
If your Mac is of same the vintage as OS X v10.4 that's listed in your footer and you're not in a position to replace or repair the optical drive in your Mac, then you might consider using an external USB CD/DVD device. If you don't have another Mac around to perform the recording on, that is.

Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

David, the camera shoots .mov files. I have the latest version of QuickTime installed but still nothing.
I teach high school, but I'm reluctant to download FCPX for my students at the moment. I may try it but I really want to stick with what we're using currently, at least for now.
iMovie started to import files, but very slowly. I guess I'm frustrated that the files shot on the Canons I also use transfer just fine, but the Aiptek camera isn't cooperating.
Would you suggest using MPEG Streamclip?
Thanks again in advance.

A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

First, some clarification:
* The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
* The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Help!

Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Is there anyway to remove them or stop
them from going directly to her phone? Help!!!! Thanks guys

So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member. We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

HT201398 Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?

Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?
I've restarted the phone and itunes several times, have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and itunes separately, and it still just shows 'Installing" under the greyed out app.

I have the same problem with an iPhone 5s. All podcast fail to work on the phone since updating to iOS 8.1.3. What is going on? Is Apple taking this problem serious?

On version 19 which just downloaded why doesn't the primary search box doesn't work when all other search functions (address box and upper search box) do?

The primary search box in the center screen does not respond to any search input.
In contrast:
(1) the https:// address box responds immediately and normally when input is provided and the curved arrow tapped,
(2) the upper search box in line with the address line works normally also when a search inquiry is provided and the magnifying glass tapped, and
(3) all bookmarks work normally as they had previously prior to Firefox upgrading to 19.
Everything seems normal with the exception of the center search box and the search command.

I have tried all the so-called fixes listed here, but since downloading version 19, I can't get the search box to work. If I go through and try the fixes here, it works until I shut it down, and then I have to go through all these steps again. Trying to get someone to help is virtually impossible, and I am getting to the point where I will uninstall Firefox and use IE, as I have no other choice!

Why won't Adobe X search for hyphens?

I'm using Adobe X with Windows 7 to proof fiction for a publishing firm. I would like to be able to search for words at the end of the lines where there is a word break but Adobe X will not let me search for those.
For example, I found in the text I'm reading the word animals and it is at the end of the line and is broken out like this:
ani-
mals.
I would like to search for ani- and see if there are more occurances like this so I can make sure I catch all broken out words to see if they are done correctly, but if I search for that hypen, it won't bring up this example in the results (or any other words at the end of lines that are broken). If I copy and paste ani- into the search box it won't paste the hypen at the end.
Now, If I manually type in the hypen it won't search for the right kind of hyphen. It always leaves out in the results the ones I need to look at the most, which are broken words with hypens at the end of the lines.
Is this some sort of "special character" that I'm searching for? If so, how do I search for it? Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Hi. As a workaround you can enable "Always use native photo browsers" in the PS Touch settings. It's listed under "Preferences" -> "Access Local Photos setting". See attached screenshot
We are working on a fix for the next release.

Why won't quicktimes and mpegs import into iTunes?

I'm trying to make a playlist of videos in iTunes. Several of my movies won't import when I drag and drop them. Some were created in Final Cut Pro 7 as basic MOV. One is an MPEG I received frome someone. Why won't they import?
thanks

Sorry, I assumed that you were shooting RAW + jpg. What I think you are now saying is that you have a shoot in which some of the files were shot in RAW and some in jpg? In that case, I don't know why it would only import RAW on the first go round and jpgs on the second. When I have mixed files (I shoot only RAW, but panoramas are by definition only jpgs), they all import on the first try. In fact, even video files come in at the same time.
If you did shot RAW+Jpg then you could either check the box, in which case you will see two files, or uncheck it, in which case you will see one (with the other hidden). But since that's not the case, that check box doesn't apply to you.
Right. Most of my shots are jpegs. But on rare occasions, I want a RAW file so I hit the RAW button on the X100 and then shoot RAW for one shot. This last import I had 10-15 RAW shots and they would not import along with all the jepgs. This happens everytime I have mixed file formats. Very frustrating.
Thanks for trying!

Why won't Contacts save a new card on my iMac?

I can enter a new card on my iPhone and it saves but doesn't sync with my other contacts. Any new card I enter on my iMac doesn't stay in contacts. It's gone next time I open contacts and, of course, doesn't sync on other devices.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How do I change and set the width of the Address and Search box

Currently, the Address box crowds out the Search. I really don't need the Address box as much as I need the Search box. I recall a method of setting them using a routine in the Chrome folder but I sure can't find it. Can you help?
Thank
Ed

Method 1:<br/>
Using the resizer on the interface. See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-easily-choose-your-search-engine#w_moving-or-removing-the-search-bar (''second bullet item; done without entering customize mode.'' By default, Location and Search bars will occupy all available space on the Navigation toolbar in a 2 to 1 ratio, respectively.)
Method 2:<br/>
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
''@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
See - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files<br/>
Adjust the width to your needs, no space before px
*urlbar-container {max-width: 400px !important;}
*search-container {max-width: 200px !important;}
