After upgrade to 10.6.2 the" entire message" search option grayed out

Just upgraded to t10.6.2 but now in the mail when searching for a mail the entire mail search option is not available anymore it is there but it is grayed out it can not be activated. That was the beauty if mail.
on the other hand the To do button now works again
any idea

You have not said, but I would guess you are using an IMAP account? If so, then might it be that the selection in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced has gotten changed to not keep copies of messages (and/or attachments) for Offline Viewing? The Entire Mail search will be grayed out when copies of the messages are not stored locally.

After 10.6.7 supplemental update, the "More Info" button is grayed out

I performed the Supplemental Updater for the late 2010 Mac Book Air, and now the "More Info: Button on the About This Mac window stays grayed out. That can't be correct, but I don't see how to fix it.

No there is no "Systems Information" app in the Utilities Folder in the Applications Folder on the MacBook Air, and although "System Profiler" does appear in the Apple Menu when selected while option-clicking, nothing happens and no profile contents window appears. Is there a way to restore the Systems Information app? Can I copy it over from my main desktop running 10.6.7 or is there a version specific for the MacBook Air?

How to get rid of the partition? all options grayed out.

How do I get rid of the Windows partition? I went to the disk utility and selected my hard drive but all the partition options are grayed out. Similarly, when I select the NTFS partition, I cannot erase it.
I want to merge the partitions, create one single partition. I do not care if all the information is lost, only that my hard drive is unified and clean again. How do I do this?

Hi,
Hi Ryan and welcome to Discussions,
have you looked inside your Applications/Utilities Folder for an app named 'BootCamp Assistant' ?
If there, consider yourself lucky
Don't run it yet, since it won't work with your current date and time.
Follow the instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1309?viewlocale=en_US to completely remove the BootCamp Windows partition and reassign the used diskspace back to OSX.
If you don't find the BootCamp Assistant in the Utilities folder, you have to boot from your OSX Tiger DVD to repartition your harddisk to one OSX volume and then reinstall Tiger and/or restore your OSX from a backup.

Stefan

Mail no longer does Entire Message search

I am no longer able to get Mail to do an "Entire Message" search. When I type a word in the Search box, the 'Entire Message' button appears "grayed out", and the only options available with All Mailboxes are From, To, and Subject. I did a Rebuild, I checked the settings in Preferences for searching Trash, Junk, Encrypted Messages (not that those should matter), I'm using a POP server, etc This seems to have just started since the 10.5.7 update. (help! thanks <Edited by Host>)

bbbbobbb,
Quit Mail, open System Preferences>Spotlight>Privacy, and add your Macintosh HD to the list. Wait a couple of minutes, and then remove your Macintosh HD from the Privacy list. You should notice (after a short delay) that Spotlight is reindexing your HD. After Spotlight completes the index, open Mail and see if your search works.

Strange 'Entire Message' search problems on cloned external drive only

Hello,
I'm having some strange problems with the 'Entire Message' spotlight style search function in Mail.
There are various threads on the forums about a similar problem, as can be found here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9450686#9450686
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7286254
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7540966
However, here's the twist – it works perfectly fine on my computer, a late 2006 MBP with Tiger, but the 'Entire Message' search ONLY doesn't work when booting from the external hard drive, which is an EXACT clone using smart copy with super duper. Everything else works fine!
To give an example, when I type in a client's second name in Mail on my computer's HD, with 'Entire Message' enabled 400+ emails appear, when I type it in when booting from the external HD clone there was around 10 emails on the first attempt (whilst Mail was open at the same time) and there were 0 on my second clone attempt, whilst Mail and all other applications were closed. Enabling 'From' and 'To' works fine, just not the 'Entire Message' search.
I really need this critical function to work, as I'm about to loose my old computer and use it on a daily bases.
So any ideas anyone?
TIA

There's an interesting thread there:

down at the bottom there's this post by the bryceman, that sums it all up for people that don't want to fiddle around with the Terminal:

+Thanks Dave. I went to Betalogue and went through all the posts and I finally found a way to fix the Search Entire Message Spotlight problem in Apple Mail - at least it worked for me. I have been trying to fix this with all sorts of solutions for months and it turns out it was related to a problem with the Launch Services Database. I confirmed this by looking inside my user/library/mail folder and seeing that inside each Mailbox folder, the sub mailboxes all had standard folder icons and not the inbox tray style icons.+
+Note that you can easily fix this through Terminal Commands, and not all the following steps are completely necessary, but there are many people looking at these threads that want to just push buttons...+
+== So here are my simple steps to fixing Apple Mail Search ==+
+1. Attach and turn on any external hard drives you have that may have a copy of Mail.app on them+
+2. Delete all OLD copies of Mail.app that you can find (don't worry about Time Machine), but make sure you keep the latest version of Mail.app in your working Applications folder.+
+~ This is so that the LaunchServices database won't easily become corrupt again+
+3. Install the latest version of Onyx - free to use and download from www.macupdate.com+
+~ I suggest Onyx, because some people don't want to mess with the Terminal.+
+4. Quit all open applications and run Onyx (it will want to check your Hard Drive etc...that's OK).+
+5. Go to the Maintenance pane and then the Rebuild tab and select only the LaunchServices box. Click Execute.+
+~ This should fix the primary problem with searches+
+6. When that process finishes, select only the Mail's Envelope Index box. Click Execute.+
+~ This should fix related problems with other searches+
+7. When that process finishes, select only the Spotlight Index box. Click Execute. (This process of Rebuilding your Spotlight Index could take hours depending on how big your hard drive is).+
+~ This will give you a clean fast Spotlight database that Mail uses for Entire Message searches.+
+8. Quit Onyx+
+9. Open Mail.app and test your Entire Message Search!+
====
+Hope that helps - it certainly, finally, did for me!+
Bryce."
If I was to do this myself, using Onyx that I've downloaded, and as described above, should I do it from the internal on to the clone? The trouble is I have 1 and a half days left with this computer and I need to use the 'Entire Message' search with mail practically that whole time as I'm totaling a large invoice for a client whilst looking at hundreds emails related to them, this is a nightmare.
Can you recommend me a cloud service that will let me download on to my emergency computer that's an old G4 Powermac with Panther? A tried ADrive and kept on getting the 302 error cod, and tried DriveHQ but it tells me to 'insert the volume related to the file' ............ these seem to work fine when downloading to my intel MBP though ....

I have a Sony radio in my car. With IOS 4 on my IPhone I could use the docking plug to the usb input on the radio and stream ESPN radio or pandora to the radio. After upgrading to IOS 5 on the phone the Sony radio will not recognize the phone . Any thoughts.

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

After upgrading to iOS 8.3, the keyboard has frozen up and I can no longer text or access my contacts. I've re-booted the phone several times, to no avail.

After upgrading to iOS 8.3, the keyboard has frozen and I can not longer text or access my contacts. I literally just upgraded to an iPhone 6, but I'm just about ready to can this phone and go with an Android. Can anyone help or have the same issues?

Im having the same problem. This started with iOS 8 and Yosemite. Im in a group message with 10 people with and without iPhones. Currently have 9 threads and when ever a new person responds a new thread forms. they all have the same people but in a different order, that may be part of the reason why iMessage doesn't recognize them as the same conversation.
As I'm writing this post 3 new threads opened and other people with and without iPhones are mentioning the same problem
hope apple can fix this. VERY annoying

Is there an update to iOS 6? I've been having several technical issues since the upgrade. Uncontrolled zoom of the entire screen, Siri taking 25 seconds to respond and not recognizing names, locking up of the phone. All requiring a reset.

I would restore with backup and if that doesn't fix it try as new

After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load. Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

Go to the App Stor and download an app- any free app will do, it doesn't matter.
Doing this usually "resets" your device's "app awareness" and you should be able to run any app with no problem.
And no, you don't have to keep that free one you just downloaded. You can delete it if you don't want it.

After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

Interesting bug. I'm cautiously optimistic this will get rid of the weekly annoyance. The difference is that I bought my laptop back in Feb 2015, so it came with Yosemite. I think the issue may have appeared soon after an OS update not long after I got the thing, though. I was using a sudo command in the Terminal, but that is obviously not a fix.
I wonder if there is a broken .plist file that may be fixed ...?

After upgrading to iOs 5.1 the AV composite cable don't work, appear a message: the device is not compatible with iPad2, anyone else had this problem or have a solution for it?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
If that does not work, restore the iPad to the factory settings.

After upgrading to iOS 5.1, the sound output works abnormally.

After upgrading to iOS 5.1, the sound output (the 3.5mm output) works correctly only when Apple provided headphones or certain headphones are plugged in. Others cause the iPod to produce sort of phased out sound with lots of digital, low-quality sounding artifacts. Other headphones have no problems since they work fine when plugged into my MacBook.
Anyone having similar problems? Solutions?

Could be due to a defective headhone jack in the iPod that just coinsided with the iOS update.
However, to rule out a software cause, try the following.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

After upgrading my ipad to ios7, the block cookies setting only has one choice: "always."

After upgrading my ipad to ios7, the "block cookies" setting for Safari only has only one choice: "always." No option exists for "never block" or "allow third parties." Needless to say, this stops me from visiting a variety of websites. Any ideas on how to get those other options to display?

I met this question in a iPhone touch, at last we found the device was controlled by MDM profile before upgrade. After removing the Configuration Profiles in [Generals][Profiles], another two option display.

After upgrading my IPad to IOS7 the orientation is default portrait and I would like landscape? How do I change it
.I have gone to Settings and rotation lock, does not change it and also to Control Panel with the same result?

Do you have a toggle switch on the side of your ipad, next to the volume? If so, try that.......it took awhile for me to find that answer by googling.......hope it works for you.
