Finder: Search in the current folder does not work

I have a folder in my finder 'search in the current folder' where returns 0 results even though I get the names of the files in this folder.

I tried to add this to the honor, then removing it so that its reindexed and I tried to remove finder invisible (and other) files, but that is not worked.

I ca 300 PDF files in this folder. I tried to create the new folder somewhere else and add these PDF here and yet the search does not work.

Someone knows how to fix this?

Greetings eklisiarh,

Thanks for posting in the communities of Support from Apple. I see that there is a folder with about 300 PDF files that you are not able to search through the search option. I know that the research allows me to find just the right file. I'll be more than happy to help.

You did a great job so far with re-indexing of that folder. First of all, to start in safe mode. This will be clear cache files and perform a few system checks. Once in safe mode, see if you can search inside this folder. Here is the article about how to start in safe mode. You can ignore the part where it says "If your Mac does not complete startup".

Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

Reboot will leave safe mode. If this does not work, try to test this question in a new user and copy the folder in this new user to see if this is a question broad system.

  • Issue PDF Maker - component software plug-in is not found in the adobe folder, does not work in MS Office 2010.

    Hi guys,.

    In recent years, I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader (IX, X, XI) on my Sony Vaio.

    It has been integrated with MS Office 2010 and worked perfect with Outlook, Word and Excel.

    Last week, I had serious risks with my laptop and had to do a clean installation of Windows 7 64-bit.

    I installed all the software in the back (end point of Eset Antivirus 5, MS Office 2010 32-bit, etc.) and in the end, yesterday

    I finally installed Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) XI. Then I noticed with disappointment that there is no tape of Adobe.

    I have everything mentioned here fact PDFMaker unavailable | Office 2007, Office 2010 | Acrobat 9, X, Acrobat Acrobat XI

    including instalation in a simplified mode, but it don't work for me.

    The above path in the link does not exist in my computer "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat [9.0 or 10.0]\PDFMaker\Office'. ]"

    I can find only: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader"-a path to the AR app. There is no record of PDFMaker to all.

    And another path: 'C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Replicate' - Replicate is the only record less "11.0".

    Do you have any idea what I might do to install PDFMaker module and use it with MS Office 2010?

    Sorry for my bad English.

    I will be very gratefull for help.

    If you have all the products Adobe Reader on your system, you have problems. Adobe accurate should not have more than one copy of an application on their system.

    Player doesn't have a plug-in for MS Office of any version.

    Acrobat only has a plug-in for MS Office. New Adobe does not support more than one copy of Acrobat on a system. And if you dare have the reader on the same system, then, Acrobat and Reader should be to the same major version.

  • automatic search in the address bar does not work

    I used to be able to type a word in the address bar (or rental) and I would like to get done for the best site that google might think. If I typed 'dogs' in there and press ENTER, I would go to the dog of wikipedia page. If I type "hotmail", I'll get sent to hotmail.com. This happens either. Now I just get the google search results for the keyword that I entered. I tried to go to about: config and ensuring that the keyword.url is default and I tried different things with the browser.fixup stuff, but nothing works. All this happened when I updated firefox too, so I think that's the problem. What can I do to fix and recover?

    You can change the pref keyword. URL on the topic: config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or "Browse by name" Google.

  • The current theme does not support Aero.

    Original title: Aero problems and taskbar changing colors.

    When I got to my laptop, I could use Aero and my Taskbar change color whenever I tried to change. I got a virus in sort of a thing that I downloaded online, and now I can't get my laptop Aero and I can't change my taskbars colors more.

    I troubleshooted it a few times, and this is what happens.

    The current theme does not support Aero

    and

    Director of Windows desktop is disabled (which is not..)

    Hi Hammyobob,

    Looks like the infection by the virus has taken its toll. The following suggestion may help you recover Aero on the computer.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

    Back up the registry

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    Steps to follow:

    a. go to start and type regedit.exe.

    b. navigate to the registry key next:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER

    c. If the DWM registry key is not found, right click on Windows, and then select New -> key to create the new branch and name it as DWM.

    d. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit value) named UseMachineCheck, and set its value to 0.

    e. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value namedblur, and set its value to 0.

    f. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value namedAnimations, and set its value to 0.

    g. restart the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager in Services in Control Panel (type Services.msc in start search), or run the following commands in an command with administrator privileges prompt:

    net stop uxsms
    net start uxsms

    h. try to enable and apply Windows Aero in Windows 7. Restart the computer if necessary.

    This should be it.

  • Where is the location of the file Outlook.pst in Windows 7, the AppData folder does not appear in the user specific folder?

    original title: where is the location of the Outlook.pst file in Windows 7?

    I want to copy my Outlook.pst to my desktop (Windows XP Pro) data to my laptop.  Outlook displays the outlook.pst file which will be located in the "C:\Users\Specific User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook" folder on my laptop.  However, when I try to access this folder in Windows Explorer, the AppData folder does not appear in the user specific folder.  I find in my office because Windows XP does not hide it, but he must hide in the Windows 7 operating system on my laptop.  How can I get it so that I can copy the file outlook.pst from my desktop to my laptop?  If the file is hidden, is there an easier way to copy outlook data from one computer to another?

    To see AppData, enable the display of hidden files and folders in the Control Panel > Folder Options > view .

  • Have dwnloaded Firefox, but invites to drag in the applications folder does not

    Downloaded Firefox, but invites him to drag the icon to the applications folder does not occur. Please notify. Thank you

    If the disk image file is not opened automatically, then you must open the DMG file yourself.

    Open the Firefox disk image file and drag the Firefox program into the Applications folder on your hard drive.
    Do not double-click the Firefox to run from the disk image, but instead, drag it out of the DMG file.

  • Why the button new folder does not work

    the button create a new folder does not work

    Hello

    You have a common problem with Windows 7. The work that I and many others use is a utility called FileMenu Tools. You can download safely from this link: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

    After downloading, install the program. Each option is checked by default. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

    Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

    Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards
