Forum-specific search functions don't work

The search function on this site doesn't seem to work properly. If I try to do a search on a specific forum via the 'Only this forum" function on the right side of the page (which doesn't seem to appear on every forum) or by selecting 'More options' from the search page, I get 0 results. Example - If I search the 'Photoshop' forums specifically, and enter 'Photoshop' into the search criteria, there are no results. I get the same results entering 'Acrobat' into the Acrobat forum, and on any other forum I have tried. It doesn't matter what I type into the criteria, I get 0 results. This happens both on a mac running Safari, as well as on my PC running IE.

It's not a problem on your system - it's well known here.
There's an almost perpetual "we're working to try to fix the search" response from the admins. It's clear they're knocking themselves out to try to make this forum better, but the technical challenges against them just must be horrendous.

Mobile wifi mouse back and forward functions don't work

I just bought the hp wifi mobile mouse model MOWFFKUL and back and forward functions don't work and it's driving me crazy. I bought it for these specific functions. At first I thought that it was a broken mouse. So I went and returned it, got back home, and the same thing. I set the side buttons to other functrion options and they work. What the hell??? just the back and forward buttons don't. I'm losing my mind big time because I REALLY NEED those buttons/functions to work!! All the regular top buttons functrion fine, it's only the back forward setting that DOESN't WORK.

I restarted my laptop, and the buttons worked! For only 2 minutes. Then nada ever again. What a POS. Come on HP, give a solution. I bought and returned it twice, which makes this my third wifi mouse. What a waste of my time. I think I'm just gonna return this mouse and forget the wifi mouse. Functionality is more important than a freed up USB port. I bought it for the forward/backward buttons specifically. HP used to make wonderful products, but this experience bring that into question now.

Hello paola t & welcome to the forums
I need help I just bough a macbook 13 inch
It may be that Spotlight hasn't completed indexing just yet - is there a dot (indicates busy) inside the magnifying icon top right?
Also, check System Preferences/Spotlight to see what if any exclusions are configured, etc.

IOS6 Headset / Headphone "Skip to the next chapter" & "Return to the previous chapter" functions don't work in the Music App

"Skip to the next chapter" & "Return to the previous chapter" functions don't work in the iOS 6 Music App when listening to Podcasts and Audiobooks through Headsets (Apple & 3rd party), Speaker Docks, and in my autos handsfree bluetooth system (Ford Sync).
Listening with the Podcasts App allows "Skip" and "Return" to work. So, this is either a bug or Apple is forcing the use of the Podcast App to get the "Skip" & "Return" controls. All the other headset functions work as designed.
I listen to news Podcasts in chronological order. In iTunes I set up smart playlists sorted by release date for the podcasts. The Podcast App doesn't support playlists therefore I need to use the Music App.
Is anyone able to get "Skip" and "Return" to work in the Music app?
Thanks for any insight!

Mail search function does not work after reinstalling

Hello!
I recently had to re-install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
I made a clean install so, I manually copied the Mail folder and preferences from my old home folder to the new one.
All mails are present, and everything works great, apart from the fact that the search function does not work.
I can search for new mails (that came after the reinstall) but the old ones "dont exist" as far as the mail.app goes.
What can I do about it ?

It would probably be easier to do the entire hard drive. The App Store also uses Spotlight, so updating it will help there also. It takes some time to re-index and your computer will/may run slower until it is done.
Direct answer to your question is go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Then go to System Preferences/Spotlight per the linked article and in your user folder, select Library/Mail/V2.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

hi eric. many thanks.
i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
does that question make sense?
i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from...

Mac Lion. Search function does not work in mails.

Hello,
I already wasted several hours trying to find solution for a problem which appeared with Lion, search function does not work, in mail at least.
I was not using Leopard before and I am not a mac expert.
(search function was already bad in the normal it was already bad in the normal 10.7 set up but at least it was working in mac mails).
I tried reindexing via spotlight privacy settings (adding and removing HD) but does not work much better.
I don't want to go to terminal, as as mentioned I don't know enough about mac to try this.
What to do?
Thanks,
C.

Anyone? Any ideas?

I recently downloaded 6.1.2 and am regretting it...for one reason...the search function no longer works correctly. !!

I personally and professionally rely on text messaging extensively. Since upgrade, the search function doesn't work correctly. It only returns partial results. This has never happened with previous upgrades. All the old texts are there but it does not search the entire history. If i compose new text and duplicate the recipients from an old text, it will bring up string...just cant search for it. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE.

I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

Asynchronuous functions don't work in a C# dll used by a CVI application

Hello,
I have an existing application written with CVI 9.0.1, which have to interact with a C# 2010 dll (which doesn't have any window) via a CVI<->.net wrapper (created using the usefull .net controller of CVI).
This C# dll uses asynchronuous functions, like NetworkStream.BeginRead() and EndRead() functions of a System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient object for example.
These asynchronuous functions work fine when the C# dll is used by a C# application (having a main window) or when the C# dll is converted in a standalone C# program (having a main window with buttons, to call its methods, just to try), but asynchronuous functions don't work when my C# dll is called by my CVI application (which is my goal): execution stays inside NetworkStream.BeginRead() for example (for the concerned thread).
NetworkStream.BeginRead() can be successfully bypassed by using the synchronuous function NetworkStream.Read() instead, but the C# dll uses others asynchronuous functions wich have no associated synchronuous functions.
Here is a portion of C# code (I don't have the source code for the Snmp object ; got_trap() method is never called when asynchonuous calls don't work):
public void run() // the thread
Snmp snmp = null;
try
  snmp = new Snmp(true);
  snmp.NotifyListenPort = 162;
  snmp.NotifyRegister(null, null, new NotifyCallback(got_trap), CB_DATA_);
  isActive = true;
  Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
Thinking it could be a problem with window messages which could be not processed (in the C# dll), I tried to replace the Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite) instruction, in the code where the asynchronuous management take place, by a window creation plus my Win32 window message loop, but asynchronuous functions don't work better (whereas my loop seems to successfully process messages):
Form myForm = new Form(); // an empty window
myForm.Show();
int bRet;
MSG msg = new MSG();
while ((bRet = GetMessage(out msg, IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0)) != 0)
    if (bRet == -1)
       // handle the error and possibly exit
    else
      switch (msg.message)
      default: // everything else
        TranslateMessage(ref msg);
        DispatchMessage(ref msg);
        break;
Any idea ?
Thank you,
rvfr.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved: in fact, the snmp assembly that I was using just needed to be dotNet registered.

I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
Anyone help you with your fix yet?

InDesign copy, cut or move box functions don't work

I am having trouble with the copy, cut and move box commands. When a text or shape box is active, I cannot move it with the cursor. It will move if I use the arrow keys, but the box behaves like it were "locked." I deleted my preferences, but that makes no difference. This problem persists whether I am in an existing ID document, or if I start a new one.
The copy and cut functions don't work either.

Of course replacing your prefs is a possibility, and has nothing to do with the need to force quit (but will probably cure it). Replacing prefs is done with the application closed, either using the keyboard combination as you relaunch, or by deleting or renaming the specified files, both ow hich are desribed inthe link in the previous post.
You posted that you had already deleted the prefs, I believe, but many users are not aware they can use the keyboard or that there are two files involved for ID and are not successful, and thus think repacing the the prefs is not going to solve the problem. Hence my previous question. Did you use one of the methods in the link?

Javascript functions don't work

Hi,
I have just tried the following code putting the script
header to execute it on the client side:
<script>
if(ParentValue == String("Y"))
EnableSubGroup();
else
DisableSubGroup();
</script>
I do not get the object expected error anymore
but the functions don't work, why is this?
----Function definition ------
<script type="text/javascript">
function EnableSubGroup()
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled='false';
function DisableSubGroup()
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled='true';
</script>
Thanks

onload=function(){
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled =
!(ParentValue == "Y")
This will disable SubGroup if "ParentValue" is not "Y"

Search page don't work after moving VO under another VO (by creating VL)

Hi, all! I need Your help and explaining... So, please let me discuss my problem.
I had my Search page. In my search page I search for records using APasesDati VO. On day I deside to move APasesDati VO under LVAIKolekcijaDati VO (created 1 to 1 VL). Now APasesDati VO is child of LVAIKolekcijaDati VO. And my search page don't work any more.
When I search for a record in Search form and try to navigate to this record, then I have following error: please see, - http://www.jetScreenshot.com/demo/20110516-867-20kb.jpg
Then I take a look to perv. Search page Bindings node (before move APasesDati VO under LVAIKolekcijaDati VO) and then to new Search page Bindings node (after move APasesDati VO under LVAIKolekcijaDati VO). There was differences, please see: - http://www.jetScreenshot.com/demo/20110516-o7f-75kb.jpg
There in Data Control isn't APasesDati VO (as I move it under LVAIKolekcijaDati VO). And that is the problem why my Search page don't work correctly. What can be done in this situation?
I tried to recreate APasesDatiIterator in Search page Executables, but I can't create this iterator. Please, see, - http://www.jetScreenshot.com/demo/20110516-x3g-68kb.jpg I think if I can create this iterator again, then all would work. But I can't.
I want to know WHY I can't create Iterator in Executables from Data Controls child element? And How can I resolve my problem?
If there are some miss understanding or need mor information, then please let me know!
Waiting for responses, best regards, Debuger!

Dear, Frank! Can You please, say how can I resolve my problem? My goal is to search for records in VOc (children object) and then from Search page SELECT RECORD and then go to page where VOc object is represented (on correct record). How can I do that?
Best regards, Debuger!

Hi and welcome to the discussions. This happens once in a while for no apparent reason. When it happens to me, a simple log out/log in usually gets things going again. I haven't researched to see what process died when this happens.
If that doesn't, then a restart, but first check Spotlight in System Preferences and make sure that the Privacy list is empty.

Mail search function doesn't work

Our Mail Search Function no longer works - does anyone have a fix? the mailboxes have been rebuilt, the envelope files in the library/mail directory have been deleted, and the emails have been re-indexed - still no luck in searching in the mail search feature. This was never an issure before the upgrade. Please provide help if you can ~ Thanks!~

THANKS! Went thru about 90% of the things listed there. Am Currently going thru the suggestion of the spotlight rebuild thru the terminal.
When I looked at the settings as stated here: For server-based accounts (IMAP, Exchange, iCloud, and MobileMe), make sure Mail is set to download entire messages—if it doesn’t, Spotlight can’t index them. Go to Mail -> Preferences, click Accounts, select an account, and click Advanced. Make sure the Keep Copies Of Messages For Offline Viewing pop-up menu says All Messages And Their Attachments.
This option is not viewable or available in my Mail Preference Advance screen and the "Keep Copies of Messages for Offline Viewing...." was not listed in any of the windows - went thru each one. This option was was also mentioned under my "help" - but not finable in the preferences....
Thanks again....
