Can't search in gmail

A lot of the time when I want to use Mail (which is set up for my gmail account), and I am searching email, I get no results. I enter a word in the search box, click on "All", and even though I know the word is in at least one email, none show up. I do click on "search messages on server", but it still doesn't show up. Sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone know the solution?

I am unable to get any search results from any of my mail accounts even from the mail on the iPad never mind the server.
That includes mobile me, exchange and gmail. It just doesn't seem to be working at all.
I have deleted all my mail accounts and recreated them on the iPad and by syncing in iTunes. Nothing seems to give me the ability to search mail.
Is anyone experiencing this?

  • Can't search messages in Gmail or go to second page of messages in firefox

    I have firefox and windows 8. For some reason I can not search messages in gmail. When I type in a search term and press the search button, the entire page just refreshes with no result. Also, when I click on the arrow to get another page of messages, I can't actually click. It doesn't do anything. I thought it was a Windows 8 problem because I just got a new computer with Windows 8 but I don't have the issue in Chrome or IE. I have tried clearing the cache and cookies.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • Hello! I cannot get my gmail from my iPad icon any more, saying the mail server is not responding. I can still get my gmail though from google search! Can you help??

    Hi! The Mail icon on my iPad is no longer responding!  A message comes up saying - ' Cannot get mail...the mail server imap.gmail.com is not responding.  Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings'.  I have tried this and everything is correct!  It is puzzling because I can still get my gmail through Google search!  Can you help?? Thanks

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

    Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
    I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
    1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive.  Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application?  Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
    2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
    Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear.  Many thanks for the help.

    2)  iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses.  For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
    I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac.  On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them.  I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

  • When I'm in a playlist, how can I search for a song within it

    I can only search my entire library whereas I used to be able to search within the playlist. I'm sure it can still be done.

    Hi Busygirl, it sounds as though Firefox is handing that email off to Outlook Express, or another program that isn't set up.
    If you want to use a Gmail or Yahoo mail account for sending the link, you can set that up as follows:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    In the search box above the list of file types, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while the list is filtered. In the drop-down on the right, choose Gmail or Yahoo.
    If it's a different service, and it's not already on that drop-down, then there is a setup step you need to do first. That's going to be different for each service... let us know which one.

  • I have two email accounts. Before the upgrade I was able to search them individually now it seems to search all emails by default. How can I search them separately.

    I have two email accounts. Before the upgrade I was able to search them individually now it seems to search all emails by default. How can I search them separately.

    I have the same issue - all inboxes merged into one.
    My Gmail account provides a number of subfolders like sent, drafts, own folders - many can be selected, but not the inbox.
    Another account type only provides the sent folder, this goes also for my iCloud account.

  • I can't search through my Purchased content in the iOS 6 App Store.

    In iOS 5 I could go to the Purchased area and push down for a search bar to show up. But in iOS 6 there is nothing there.
    I clean out room on my iPhone with the knowledge that if I really need this app later that I can just reinstall it. Now that is going to be a hassle scrolling through all my bought app's. Sometimes I can't remember the name of something I had once had and if I could sort them into categories that would be helpful as well. But the main point is that I can't search, also when I do find something there and I press it it just shows like the version information. It use to take me to the app page so I can make sure that was what I was looking for. I have a lot of photo app's and I can not be expected to know what everyone of those do.
    I hate posting on forums because I like to find the information myself. But I cannot find this answer. How do I search my Purchased app in iOS 6?

    Yup, the new itunes is worthless unless every song you have is in your itunes library as well. (unless you buy every song from itunes this is simply impossible)  Apparently Apple threw away the feature in an effort to force everyone to purchase their media through itunes.  This is probably the worst idea about the new Itunes, the only way to go back is to restore your computer to a time before you downloaded the new version, otherwise wait and hope the next version in a year or so will have it.

  • I can't open my gmail or send gmails on Firefox. I can read and send gmails on other servers. It started when I was using a hotels wireless connection. Firefox said that this was not a secure site and asked if I wanted to overide it. Since then I have

    I cannot open my gmail nor send any gmails on Firefox. My wife also has gmail and she has no problem on firefox opening or sending her gmails. Also, I cannot access my settings. It started when I was at a hotel last Friday using their wireless connection. When I turned firefox on, which automatically goes to gmail, firefox would not open my gmail as it stated that this was not a secure site. I probable did something incorrectly and I got blocked out. All my other bookmarks work fine. I can access my gmail using other servers. Please help. Thank you.

  • I can't search any videos on YouTube/Download any app from the App Store

    Hi,
    I am using movistar 3G network (Spain), full signal. Everything works fine, Stock app, Weather app, Mail, Safari... but I can't search for any videos on YouTube and can't download any app from the App Store.
    I can see videos on YouTube app but only the featured videos, when I try to search the ones I want to see I get an error message "Cannot connect to YouTube".
    The only problem is when searching videos on YouTube app.
    When I try to download an app from the App Store I get a similar error message, "The download can´t be done, connect to iTunes" more or less, that's the sense of the message.
    I can connect to the AppStore, surf it but when I press Install... I get the error message.
    I know that my carrier, movistar (Spain) has an issue with secure webs (https), it's impossible to surf any secure web by now but I don´t know if this is related with my problems.
    This happens with 2.1 and 2.2 firmware version.
    I have the iPhone set in spanish from Spain and the time is right. By the way, using WiFi everything works fine, everything, I can search for videos on YouTube app and download apps from the AppStore.
    I don´t know what more can I do, can someone help me? please. = (
    Thanks in advance.

    FWIW, the only part of Java not installed is the Java Runtime Environment. Launch the Java Preferences.app in /Utilities and DL it when prompted. Then, enable plugins and Web Start apps.

  • How can i search for a color that is not in the color palette? (CS 5.5)

    I have a client, that has used a certain color in a series of textfields throughout the document.
    The color consists of all 4 CMYK colors and needs to be just Keycolor. However the color is not in the swatches menu, so marking it there and changing it won't work. I have downloaded a script that might have worked, but it could only find colors that were in the swatches palette. (Find / Change by Color / Overprint" version 1.2).
    Ofcourse, creating a similar color and adding it to the swatches doesn't work.
    Is there anyway that i can search for the color or does it really have to be done manually.
    Best regards

    You can only search for real, actually existing swatches. No sweat: use "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatch panel dropdown menu to get a list of all of the manually applied colors.
    Since you want to change all of them to the same color, you don't even have to use Search/Replace. Simply delete the new colors and select the one you need in the "Replace With" dialog that appears.

  • How can I use the Gmail app on the Watch?

    I do not use the Mail app on any of my Apple devices.  How can I use the Gmail app on the Watch?

    Since Google has not added watch support to the gmail app, you don't. You should be able to get notifications, but at this time, there is no gmail app for the watch.

  • IPad version:how can I search a word on modules?

    Hi to everybody! How can I search a word in modules?
    I understand that I can do a search in spreadsheet, but I need to do in a module that is more efficient...so do you know?
    And why when I write on module I can't press enter and begin to write a new line??
    Thanks!

    Touch the URL field at the top of the page, type your word and a list of possible searches will be shown. Near the bottom of this list will be "On this page" which shows hits on the page (if any). Touch this and you will be taken to the first match.

  • Can I use a gmail account to set up my child's IPhone?

    Can I use a gmail account to set up my child's iphone? He already has a gmail account I don't want to set up an icloud email address. My husband and I could use our gmail addresses.

    You can use any email address that you like as an Apple ID - it doesn't have to be an icloud one.
    My only suggestion would be to use an address that you know you will have access to for a long while - like the gmail one - so you don't have to worry about changing the Apple ID in the future.

    In the new mail app for OSX v10.7 Lion it seems I can only setup my gmail account as an "imap", when I need to set it up as "pop"... PLZ HELP I NEED MY MAIL TO WORK!!!

    Go to System prefs
    Select Mail Contacts and Calendars
    Then select Other
    Then select "Add a Mail Account and click create
    Then go to google for the settings you need:
    First here for the settings online at gmail http://tinyurl.com/du3fu
    Then here for the setting in mail http://tinyurl.com/38fevm8
    These are instructions for Mail 4.0 but all of the necessary settings should be listed.

  • Can I search (find) my ipad from my mac air?

    Can I search (find) my ipad from my mac air? I know there is an app for iphone or ipad but, how you do it from a Mac Air?

    Absolutely you can. It is part and parcel to iCloud's functionality on the Air.
    Set-up iCloud on the Mac and log into iCloud. The i{ad itself must also be properly registered with your Apple ID.
