Continue search on server

On my dads iPad, if you search in the mail app you then get an option to "continue search on server". I don't see that on my iPhone. Is there a way to turn it on? Im using gmail set up through the gmail option in mail as an imap account.

I just turned the "exchange" account back on (I had set it up before but had it as inactive) and that account does give me the continue search on server option but doesn't actually give me results even when I know they are there. :-(
I've had to resort to using the web based gmail to find messages and move them to the inbox which is a ridiculous workaround to need.

Connection to server failed when selecting continue search on server

Hi,
I have a client that has an Exchange 2007 server and is having problems searching emails on their iPads (and iPhones). When they search and then hit continue search on server, it will come back with a "Connection to Server Failed"
Client claims that it "used to work"
anything we can tweak on the ipad or server to help?

What Does Mail "Continue Search on Server..." Mean?

When searching in iPhone Mail, you have the option of continuing the search on the iMap server. It doesn't seem to search the whole server, otherwise it would really find my stuff which I know is there and can be found in Mac Mail.
So if iPhone Mail is through searching on the iPhone, and it doesn't REALLY search the server, what is it searching?

Ask your email provider for the correct settings to use to set it up on your phone.

Adobe not allowing edits and seems to continue searching for server

Currently running Adobe 10 on a PC and working with a document that is in collaboration with 2 other authors.
The issue I am currently having is that I wish to be able to open the Document, make the necessary edits (and or comments) then save the document. In trying this, in the upper right hand side of the toolbar, the green circle continues to spin and trying to access the server, nor am I able to make the changes to edit and/or save the document. Really feel in ruling out a server issue since it has been behaving this way for 2 weeks. It also keeps prompting me to sign into the document (which I have selected the option to stay "signed-in" and password is correct).
Is there a fix for this or what steps in troubleshooting should I try going forward.

From what you wrote it seems that you are trying to perform a shared review on a PDF rather than having an issue that is exclusive to Adobe Reader / PDF on the local machine.
You may find it useful to browse the Services @ Acrobat.com Forums at:

(particularly if you are using acrobat.com)
If WebDAV or a network server is involved you'd want to discuss the problem with whomever provides support for either.

Search Exchange Server

I have seen that when you do a search within certain folders you are able to view all the results currently in your Inbox (or folder you're searching in) as well as "Continue Search On Server". For some reason my iPhone on allows me to search what's currently on the device and does not give me the option to continue search on server. Am I missing a setting somewhere that will allow this? I am getting all email, calendar items, and contacts just fine. Only issue I'm having is not being able to search the server.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Search works for me, here is how:
1. Go to Inbox so that emails are listed in summary view (no individual email is open)
2. scroll to top (above first email) to search bar
3. Click on search box and input search criteria - also click option (from, to, subject, all)
4. At the bottom of returned results, if many you may have to scroll and if none it should be the only thing in the box, you should have a blue sentence that says "continue search on server"
If you don't have this, then maybe a reinstall of the OS is order? I don't really recommend that, but this is something built into the OS. The only other thing I can think of is, do you have this email account set up as Exchange or as POP3 - if you set it up as POP3 then you won't get the server search option.

Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

Outlook 2013 Search on Server 2008 R2 - non-functional

The instant search on our Outlook 2013 is constantly turning up the "We couldn't find what you were looking for" message. It is installed on Server 2008 R2 with Citrix providing desktops to our users. The PST files are being stored with
the rest of the user profile on our domain controller (separate machine). For testing purposes I had tried moving my PST to the C: drive. Have tried rebuilding the index and still not working. One thing I did notice was that if I uninstalled windows search
from server manager and installed the indexing service, search functioned properly (this is not ideal), however, every time I would launch outlook I would get a message that it was installing 64-bit components. How can I get search functioning for our users?

I thought I'd post what worked for me with this problem. Your post is old, but I figure others may benefit from this solution.
I found an old Microsoft Support post about "Search" and Outlook being installed properly on a Terminal Server. I followed the procedure and it worked for me on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Outlook 2013. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222303)
The following assumes you've enabled the Windows Search feature via the Server Manager.
Install Office and then you must run Outlook as an administrator first. Once you've done that the search tool will properly run and index everything for others on the terminal server.
If you've already installed Office and users have already been using Outlook then you need to repair your Office installation to get Outlook's search working properly. To fix this simply login as the administrator, run the Office repair tool,
then run Outlook as the administrator before any of your users on that terminal server do.
That's it. Once you do that you'll find that the Outlook search begins to index everything properly. You may want to rebuild the indexes by using the rebuild commanded in the Control Panel under Indexing Options.
This worked for me perfectly on three Windows 2012 R2 terminal servers.

Enabling Spotlight search for server clients?

I have a mac mini server running OSX Mavericks, and 6 client mac also running Mavericks.
The server provides access to the main storage raid for our design dept, and all the designers need to be able to search for files on this server, but Spotlight never seems to work when trying to search the server.
No of us are It types, so the few possible solutions i have found seem to be aimed at advanced unix programmers, and as a result assume that a single line of code is enough of a hint for us to sort out the problem!
Pleae can someone explain how i can set up the server to index the raid, and allow the users to perform searches?
thanks
adam

It used to be that you could manually enable and disable spotlight indexing for network shares on a Mac server. With Server.app and therefore your Macvericks server this is automatically enabled. The process would be along the following lines.
You have a drive which has permissions enabled, external drives may default to having this turned off you can if needed enable it by doing a 'Get Info' on the external drive, and at the bottom will be an option 'Ignore ownership on this volume' this needs to be turned off i.e. unticked.
You then tell Server.app to 'share' the volume or a folder within the volume.
Server.app will automatically enable both AFP and SMB sharing for this new share, you can modify this if you wish.
Server.app will also automatically add an ACL (Access Control List) record containing the special server account 'Spotlight' so it can access every single file and folder within the share, this lets the server spotlight indexing software be able to access and therefore index all those files.
Client Macs can then search the share, it should only return results of files that that user has permission to access.
There is nothing really to configure. I have seen problems where the server will periodically decide to re-index the share again and while it is doing this searching does not work because the server is busy rebuilding the index. You can tell if this is happening by clicking on the Spotlight menu on the server, if it says it is re-indexing then this is what is happening.

I cannot get my iPhone 5s to Bluetooth pair with any device - it is continually searching for devices

I want to pair my iPhone 5s with the Mini Boombox I was using with my iPhone 3Gs.
Once the iPhone Bluetooth setting has been switched on the 5s just continually searches for devices and finds nothing - although the Boombox is beside it on my table (yes, and switched on).

Hello Ken,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new Bluetooth Mini Boombox. I am sure you are eager to use your new speaker.
I recommend reviewing the following article for steps to troubleshoot the issue you described:

My iPhone continuously searches for mail, no matter what setting I use, which is running down my battery. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPhone 5 continuously searches for mail, no matter what time period I set it for in settings. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPhone 5 continuously searches for mail
How do you know this?

You realize that Mail App checks for mail every time it's opened and that the fetch interval you set applies only to background checks when the app is closed, right?

Mail in continuous "Synchronizing with Server" (all mail, not just Mail.app)

Since upgrading to 10.9 Mavericks, Mail (Apple) continually syncrhonizes with the servers. I have a plethora of folders stored via iCloud (IMAP). When it gets to the end, there's a short lull but, if I do anything else, the process starts again. (Viewable via Mail's Activity Window (Cmd-Opt-Zero).)
It always synchronizes of course, but it used to be in the blink of an eye, and (seemingly) not each and every folder.
I thought it was a Mail only issue, but I downloaded Airmail from the Mac App Store to give it a whirl, and the problem is the same: it synchronizes with the server continuously. As with Mail, when it gets through with the last folder, there's a pause, and it starts up again.
When it was assumed to just be a Mail.app issue, it was one thing, but now it appears its a universal mail issue. I've done some research, and I know Gmail users are feeling the pain, but I don't have Gmail -- my only account is my mac/me/icloud one.
Some have suggested it's a bug with Mail, but wouldn't my issue with Airmail rule that out? Others have posted that the issue is with Spotlight and how it indexes mail messages for search. (FWIW, I've unchecked "Mail & Messages" in Spotlight but it doesn't seem to have helped the issue.)

I don't know if this is the exact same problem. I sync my Gmail and my iCloud mail accounts on the Mail program. Since upgrading to Mavericks, whenever my Mail program is being used, it is constantly notifying me about VIP mail in my mail box -- over and over again, the same mail items. It's annoying, and I assume this pointless activity is also affecting performance at the margins. How do I shut this off but still get notified when I get NEW mail from VIPs?

Has anyone figured out how to use EventCombMT to do "text" searches of server event logs? I doesn't seem to work.

I know I can do this in powershell, but gosh I don't need a complex powershell script to do what this eventcombmt gui does so easily for quick searches. I just wish I could figure out why text based searches of logs. For example, suppose
you want to search events for a user a server may have logged, if I type in "user1" nothing is retrieved and yes it's there. Searching for events works flawlessly but I can't seem to get text based searches to work.

Hi,
Based on my research, if we want to filter events based on user name, we need to edit the XML query.
Please refer to this blog below:
