Why a search in the Finder displays the files on the computer of my set?

Spotlight is a little better, but when I do a search in the finder window I get a list of all the files in my computer.  It's horrible.

I did a search for a name starting with the letter S and my entire iMac comes with #1 hit in side of Memphis.

When is Apple going to solve research? Or I do something wrong? Even using Spotlight to search all files on my computer appear in the results.  Why even do a search then.

In the Finder, there are two things that controls the research:

-settings:

and the research itself

    Hi linsugr,

    Do you know when this started?  The simplest solution because I have no idea of what is happened to cause this is to restore the system to a point BEFORE this problem started (and give it a a few days to be sure).  If you use Windows 7, see:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, see:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, see:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial56.html.  If the first attempt fails, try to go back a little further and see if you are met with success.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Why a search of the console finds not all instances?

    For a long time, I used the Console to track my start and stop times to fill out a time sheet company. Since I upgraded to El Capitan (certainly of 10.6.8) research in console are totally reliable.

    I have a query log saved to the content of the 'Got boot device' message that usually gives me a list of departure times.

    A query saved to 'stop' or ' stop of "me gives stop times.

    But both strange, these searches find nothing. Today, for example, my first search captured all my time Starter for the past two weeks, but the second search returns only results from a week at the back. WHY? Paging trudged through all messages brings back me beyond that point in journal entries that meet the search criteria, but today the saved query is just ignorant.

    What gives? I never had this kind of behavior laminated with previous incarnations of Console.

    Is there an easier way to get a list of start and stop times?

    You can use Terminal and the 'last' command (without quotes) for a list of the connection history.

    It gives the date, the start - finish time & duration, time closed parentheses.

    I try Adobe Extension but doesn't have too much work.

    We have identified a delay in obtaining products on Windows machines, in which case a reboot is required to start the installation of the product. We are investigating this. For Lightroom products, it is best to use only the CC Desktop App - available from http://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud, rather than the extensions Manager.

    Hello

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue.

    1. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    2. do you get only security certificate warning message when starting AOL software?

    This problem may occur if the computer's clock is set so that the date is later than the date of expiry of the certificate of the web server.

    Check the settings for date, time and time zone to make sure that the computer is not set in the future or in the past. This may cause a certificate error, because the computer is of the opinion that this certificate is not yet valid or has expired. You can check the settings of date and time by double clicking on the clock that appears in the toolbar.

    Why don't security browser Avira displayed when I search modules in the Add-ons Manager page?

    If I search in google, it appears in the list of results, and it displays a add to Firefox"" button.

    However when I click on the "Add to Firefox" button, I get a message "Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer" with the button authorize. Why is this and is - it safe to click the allow to install this extension?

    Hi Roberto2525, through the Manager of addons you will only find extensions that their developer chooses to host with mozilla / addons.mozilla.org, addons not they want to distribute themselves.

    the warning message you are seeing is normal and is displayed before the installation of each addon. as the firefox addons are always free to do almost everything that is possible, you must install the addons which authors you trust (extensions hosted on addons.mozilla.org are carefully controlled until they are published).

    from 41 firefox, firefox will require that hosted also outwardly need addons must be signed by mozilla, after what they've been through a few basic checks. so, if you install the extension avira and it says something like "could not be verified for use in firefox," then if please contact avira as well and ask them to get their signed addon: signature of the add-on in Firefox
