File is present, but does not appear in the search

I have occasionally to store a pdf file, I received as an attachment to e-mail and discover that the file does not appear in a search, even if it is in the directory, and I have no problem opening it. I can solve the problem by renaming the file, and then rename it again, back to what it was originally.

I decided that the file name does not begin with special characters, and the status bits seem normal. But I have two files, using the same naming format, and one of them shows up in a search, the other is not the case.

If someone can explain to me what is happening here, I can probably came up with a remedy on mine. I'm just confused as to what is the cause.

  • Personal certificate said sucessfully restored after importation, but does not appear on the list of certificates.

    Mac OSx 10.8.2
    Firefox 18.0
    Firefox-> Prefrences-> advanced-> encryption-> Certificates-> import
    Select the cert, enter the password, and then I get this message: successfully restored your security certificates and the private key.
    However the cert does not appear on my list of certs, and I can't access the site requiring this cert.

    CERT has worked in 17 combined with OS 10.7.X worm
    CERT works on my win box 7 with firefox 17.0.1

    Try renaming the file cert8.db in the Firefox profile folder in cert8.db.old or remove the cert8.db file to remove the intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.

    If it helped to solve the problem, then you can delete the renamed file cert8.db.old.

    Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the file cert8.db.old to cert8.db to restore previous intermediary certificates.

    Firefox automatically records the intermediate certificates when you visit Web sites that send such a certificate.

    If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.

    Hello
    I've updated to the latest version of flash player 11.4.402.287 today, the two versions of activex or plugin appear in flash Manager. However, I'm unable to play youtube flash videos, the bar at the top shows "Install missing plugin" I repeated the installation process, it does not appear to complete successfully, but even once when trying to play youtube videos, the "install missing plugin appears" and the videos will not play.

    I have also installed and re installed the last version of firefox today, thought that can help, seem to have the same problem. The flash player is not listed in the plugin adds on the list. I don't know what else to do, or what could be the problem.

  • play movie clip symbol at the end of the animation, but does not appear in the timeline

    Work in Adobe Flash CS5

    When I play my movie in the Flash file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any film format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used in the animation. There is no extra frame in the timeline panel beyond which must be considered to be the last image. Y at - it a setting or something I forgot that could cause this instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without air in the main timeline? This can be corrected?

    your movieclip (or a parent) who plays on the main timeline or is loaded by your swf.  If you load this movieclip (published as a swf file), you can be sure that your movieclip (or a parent) is the culprit.

    Use the movie Explorer to find all instances of your movieclip using the library for this movieclip name.  If that does not reveal the culprit, you have either made a mistake in your search or if you have a movieclip in doubles.

  • Workgroup computers connected but does not appear in the network folder

    I got number of connected computers on my working group, but for the moment, only 3 of 8 computers appear in my record of working group in my network.

    When I search the names of each computer on the 'Search' from the menu 'Start', they appear and seem to be connected as I am able to access the shared folders.

    The name of the computer, I searched (let's call it 'Computer 1') appears on the left menu under 'Network' with 3 computers that are obviously connected but when I click on network and go into the network, computer folder 1 is still not visible and only 3 computers are indicated.

    How can I solve this problem?

  • Video showed on the options/info/media page in the previous version, but does not appear since the recent update. Why?

    I managed to download the video by going to the options/info/media in version 41 page, but the video no longer appears in the list. This is the case for pages where I could download the video only 2 weeks ago. I tried to update my addons, but that made no difference.
    I have seen that other people have noted this problem.

    If you read this thread, you know you have these options in Firefox 42:

    Once you start the video:

    • To save the video

      • right-click the video > video under
      • Right click the logo of the vine > setting > View Image Info > media tab
    • To copy the address of the video

      • the video right-click > copy the location of the video
      • Right click the logo of the vine > setting > View Image Info > media tab

  • 'Find' is case-sensitive and the option does not appear on the search bar

    As I said, it is case sensitive. I looked for an answer and everyone says uncheck case-sensitive on the search bar, but he's not here. I am on a mac with os x 10.9.4 using Firefox 32.0.1.

    I thought about it. I had to restart with disabled addons. I don't know which extension caused the problem, but the change stuck when I re-enabled the addons.
