Spot 2 letter limit

Spotlight doesn't seem to work with 2 letters for me. (for the most part, but with a few exceptions, it will work with 3)

If I type a letter, it works although the list seems quite limited

If I type two letters, it works although the list seems quite limited

If I type three or more letters, it just stays where it was after you type the second.

If I type 3 letters quickly until it had time to conduct a search after you enter just one or two letters, there is no anything

Search in the Finder works very well.

Winston,

    my computer wouldn't let me download lime wire... and every time I try a security alert appears.

    Hi juannfallen,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups. I suggest you try these options:

    The question can be caused also by your security program such an antivirus or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.

    For more information, visit the Microsoft Web sites at the following address and check if the Windows or Windows Defender firewall is causing this problem. It is suggested to make changes and to allow certain applications to run through these by the use of exceptions rather than turn them which can cause serious problems for the security of the computer:

    1 explore the features: Windows Firewall

    2. turn Windows Firewall on or off

    3. Understanding Windows Firewall settings

    4 explore the features: Windows Security Center

    5. using Windows Defender

    6. turn Windows Defender on or off

    8 real-time protection real turn Windows Defender or disable

    If the problem persists, return with the following details:

    1: name of the security of the software

    2: exact security alert

    Let me know if it works. Good luck!

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Is there a limit on the number of hot spots, that we can include on a screen?

    Is there a limit on the number of hot spots, that we can include on a screen? I'm putting in about 25, but it is defaulted to 10?

    Hot point quiz questions are indeed limited in the number, you can have on a slide.

    When it comes to normal blades, using ordinary boxes by clicking, you could easily have 25 or more, but then your score will be much more complex and it will not be a true quiz question.  Each separate click box can be set up to score separately.

    function of validateMemberID was a mistake on my part misnamed it. I thought about it...

    At the level of the JavaScript document

    Allow only characters that match the regular expression

    The detected forum software your Firefox in version 13. Is this correct?

    Version 13 is not safe; Mozilla reveals security flaws after each new version. Is something holding you upgrade to Firefox 22? Please let us know if we can offer you solutions or workarounds.

  • Same question "how to limit the story" old with FF 27.0.1

    Windows 7 Pro, FF 27.0.1, Adobe and Flash modules (and it's auxiliary)... just the basics. My box is a server as well as used for most ordinary tasks... mail, browsers, editors of documents, etc., is always 'on' and never 'idle '. It's the Add-ons that make these things why don't do anything on my box.

    It is, I know, is an old question, but outstanding, in my opinion. I revive this post:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/799503?FPA=1

    First of all, let me say that I consider that the best time of the Firefox browser. I love the essential philosophy of Mozilla and Firefox customization by the user and the control, while respecting their need to ensure security and stability.

    OK, the issue is evident in the title, how can I limit history with Firefox? More recently, I observed when the activation and the deactivation of JavaScript in the preferences options has been removed. I have read the reasons of Bugzilla and Firefox and it was not difficult for me to open a topic: config tab next to a label containing a page I was working so I could see how the page without JavaScript. Once you know how, it was only a little more difficult that using the preferences options... which doesn't bother me really.

    The history limit is implicit in the browser itself, where, if you open the history window, you can see your history and (for me) see an option 'longer than six months' who, if you mouse over and right click will get an option 'remove '. I think that everyone who tries this blocking their browser and if something is deleted when you finally get to the top, it will be your cache.

    I know that the amount of history is set: config in the "places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages" as an integer parameter. Read many articles here in 'support' and personal judgment, I find that although the number can be increased, it cannot be decreased. If we do, it is up to the old definition as soon as Firefox is reopened.

    I read the blog referenced in the first link above: http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration and it even seems outdated, containing references to places.history.expiration.max_pages, which is not the file in topic: config in 27.0.1

    In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643254 , I read the debate on these changes where Marco Bonardo held firmly at his post while I find the comment of al_9x, discuss the issue with him. "You have removed features that people use and love, that been in Fx since its inception. It is you who need to justify deletion. "And your justification of" nobody really wants expire history "is a lie, people do and I explained why", to represent my feelings completely. I have no need or desire for the history of more than 3 months. It is tyrannical to limit the ability of Firefox users to limit their history. And no.... I have not create yet another account of Mozilla and 'vote '.

    There must be a way I and other users can limit (or increase) their history. So I ask "how?" This is, by design, to do this then I find a very disturbing trend, away from the philosophy of the user control and customization.

    If I'm missing something, please let know me. Please * don't * send me a bunch of standard items 'aid', because I read all. That is my question.

    Kind regards

    You must create a new pref to around places.history.expiration.max_pages if you want to change the default behavior.

  • iPhone 6s won't let me listen to music bought without cellular data or wifi turned on?

    iPhone 6 s more.  Over my limit of data so I turned off the cell data.  out of range of wifi.  Try to listen to my purchased music in my iTunes library and it says I have to have a wifi connection or activate cellular data to listen to him.  I could listen to purchased music without a connection in the past - for example, on an airplane.  Cannot understand what has changed and why it won't let me.  Thank you!

    It seems that songs are not actually downloaded to your phone. To avoid any confusion on what is on your phone or not, activate 'Only downloaded music'. To do this, open the music application and go to the music of my tab click on the button that says: artists, Albums, songs, music videos, Genres, composers, or Compilations. Tap on "Only the music downloaded" so that the switch is in green.

    Now the only music displaying the app will be those stored on your phone. You may need to download your songs again.

  • Can I limit data in the cells to a single app?

    I am considering upgrading my phone to Rabat for an iPhone. I use iOS on my iPad for several years, but have never had a smartphone before. My iPads are Wi - Fi only so I never had to worry about the limits, and since I do not anticipate needs a lot of data I expect to get a plan with a small data limit.

    I know I can say iOS does not allow the use of mobile data and only to access data via the Wi - Fi so that he does not eat my data when I don't want it.

    My question is this:

    I can say for a specific application access cellular data while blocking all other applications to do? For example, maybe I want to use an app for navigation while driving. It requires cell data for the navigation service knows where I am and you can send me instructions and alerts. But I don't want all the other apps on my phone goes on line and using data while I am using the cellular connection rather than a Wi - Fi connection.

    No matter which iPhone I get would have iOS 9.3 on it. Probably the SE of the iPhone, but I'll look older before making a final decision.

    Thank you.

    Yes - cell data can be disabled for individual applications. So you can disable it for the applications that you want to restrict and let it on-site for those who have not. I hope you enjoy your new phone

  • Limit how often a device has access to my wifi

    Is it possible to limit a MAC address can be on my network every day how long?

    I know how to activate time slots, but

    (1) I am more concerned that when total time

    (2) if I does not limit access to certain areas of the hour of the day, my router will let the device continue past the breakpoint, as long as it is connected and stay connected before the breakpoint.

    Hello @Davin,

    Welcome to the community!

    To answer your question, there is no way to limit the time and a specific MAC address.

    You will need to manually to allow or block a specific MAC address on your favorite period.

  • Limit on the expansion of network?

    I have 3 AirPort Extreme base stations, 2 are 5th generation and a 3rd generation. I also have an AirPort Express in the mixture. I have a 3rd generation connected to the FiOS router and I consider that it is the "primary" router Initially, it worked. I had 2 Extreme extending by connecting to the 'main' and the Express has been connected to one of the Extreme 2 extension. This morning, an extreme extension 2 has been disconnected. The error was that he was unable to expand the network. I checked the range and it's well within 100 feet of the central station. I checked the network password and that's OK. I unplugged the other extreme, which extends and restarted then that gave the error. This time, he connected very well to the main but when I turned on the other that I had turned off, he started too give the error of not being able to expand the network.

    Yes, is there as a limit to how many base stations can connect to one to extend a network?

    I checked the range and it's well within 100 feet of the central station.

    100 feet is quite far away... even if you have line of sight between the main airport and the airports of their extension. If there are walls on the signal path, get a good signal for extending airport is going to be quite a challenge.

    The golden rule for the placement of an airport that will extend wireless is the place to a point that is about halfway between the airport and the area that needs more wireless coverage.  For example, if you need more wireless coverage has a few rooms at the other end of the House, extending airport would be located in between the main airport and the other end of the House.

    The reason is that the airport expansion "to extend" the quality and the speed of the signal it receives. If it is located too far from the main airport, then it gets a signal low and slow to expand, so there are few vested benefits.

    I had 2 Extreme extending by connecting to the 'main '.

    Understand that.  If all goes well, the two extremes are found as they are at equal distance between the main airport and each Extender... And each extension's closest major airport that it is another extension unit.

    and the Express has been connected to one of the Extreme 2 extension.

    The Express is unable to extend the signal to a device that is already expanding the network. In other words, you can have multiple devices, the expansion of the network, but each extension must connect directly to the main airport... not at another airport that already is the extension of the network.  In your case, the AirPort Express is actually 'join' the network... so it will work for AirPlay or a printer USB remote... but the Express provides no additional wireless signal coverage in this type of installation.

    For the moment... try turning off all the... from the 'main' airport and all other airports.

    Wait a few seconds and then starts the 'main' airport and run a minute or two

    Turn on one of the extreme airport which extend the network and let it run for a minute or two

    Assuming that the AirPort Extreme that works you just turned correctly, turn on the other AirPort Extreme

    Post back your results, and we are going to discuss options for the Express.
