I found on web that regulary iTunes sync help to fix it. Is it true?
It is, for whatever reasons, the way Apple has decided the iPhone is supposed to work. Therefore, there is nothing to "fix".

Music purchased on my iPhone appears in spotlight search and on Windows iTunes, nowhere else?

I have never had this problem before, I bought some music on iTunes using iPhone, no problem with downloading but they only show up under spotlight search.
They're in my PC iTunes library, and I can move them to whatever playlist I need to, but they will not appear in any iPhone playlist I try and sync them to.
So far I've tried creating new smart playlists, removing and resyncing all audio content, re-downloading from iTunes Store and iCloud. Anyone know why these new songs refuse to placed in any of the iPhones playlists? (Including purchased) they must be on the iPhone because they appear in spotlight search, right?

Password protecting mail app and permanent deletion of emails so they don't appear in spotlight search

I realise that there is a temporary way to prevent this happening by unticking the 'mail' option in the spotlight search settings menu, but how do you permanently delete the emails? I assumed that when I hit delete then emptied the trash box, the mails were gone for good. But finding that they remain stored in some hidden place and can be easily accessed is very annoying! In fact, finding that other users can quickly change the settings back and have free access to my email is rather disturbing anyway, especially as there is no way to password protect my email account once i activate the mail app. the apple mail app is linked to my yahoo account, but within yahoo mail there seems to be no problem in regards to deleted mail being stored somewhere else, only within the apple app system.
So i guess id like to know, is there some way to password protect my account or do I just need to keep deleting my account before lending the ipad to someone else and then reinstating it? And is there any way to properly delete emails for good?
I would be happy just to go without the mail app and log in directly through yahoo in Safari, except that I find the notification alert when I receive a new mail very handy!!

[edit] I dragged the email I sent through the MBP Mail app (under MAILBOXES > Sent > Yahoo!) to the highlighted Sent folder (YAHOO! > Sent), and now it shows up on all Yahoo Sent folders (iPad app, web browser, phone app). Not entirely solved the issue but will use web browser to sent future emails to keep everything in sync.

Spotlight Comments do not appear in Spotlight search results

I have a .png file on my desktop.
Right click >> Get Info
Spotlight Comments has the string 'Fruit' saved.
If I search for 'Fruit' in Spotlight I get no results, why?

Hi TD
Yes and no.
Yes it worked the way you mentioned but if I change the Spotlight Comment: on the same file to something else I can still find it via 'Fruit'. I much prefer command-space bar to call Spotlight.
How long does it take a change to a Spotlight Comment: to filter into Spotlight?
Its not the end of the world its just I was finding Spotlight really useful until I came up against this.

My iPhone 5 fell down on the floor, than when I pick it up the most of the screen turns to different colors( lines or other stuff) , and when I touch the screen, it doesn't work anymore ,and I search how to fix it on google, but I follow the instructions

What can I just do now, how can I fix it

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
However...
In your caes (having dropped the iDevice) it looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required... Be sure to make an appointment first...

JMS Adapter not appearing in Adapter Monitor, How to Fix ?

JMS Adapter not appearing in Adapter Monitor screen when choosing "Only Installed and Started Adapters" option. What need to do to install and start the JMS adapter.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Only JMS adapter is not seen in the adapter monitor or other adapters are not listed in the same.
Have you checked whether the JMS drivers are installed on XI or not?
First would be to deploy drivers for JMS scenarios - https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3867a582-0401-0010-6cbf-9644e49f1a10

Spotlight searches missing some files

My searches in Spotlight are returning only some of the files that should be found. I finally narrowed this problem down to files that I had archived with BetterZip, but kept on my hard drive. The files are definitely still there on my hard drive, but they no longer appear in Spotlight searches. As soon as I open the files with an app, the files appear again in Spotlight searches. What has been done to the files that they don't appear in Spotlight searches? What is the fast method to change a setting/flag/unmark all the zipped files so they will all appear in Spotlight searches.
Reindexing Spotlight has not helped--I have reindexed Spotlight probably a dozen times with various methods over the past few days and nothing happened until I opened and closed the file. Once I open the file, it's a matter of moments before it appears in a Spotlight search.
System: OSX 10.4.11
Thanks!

I experimented some with rights and I can't see any consistent differences. All permissions seem to be 644 or 755. Neither the files that appear in Spotlight searches nor the files that do not appear in Spotlight are one or the other. Plus the permissions do not change after opening and closing the file.
I am the Owner of all the files. I noticed that some files appearing in Spotlight had a different Group assigned, so I changed the Group on a few files, but that made no difference in whether the file appeared in Spotlight.
Would upgrading to Leopard solve this problem?

How to recover text messages that appear in the spotlight search ?

Hi,
I've somehow lost all my text messages, but they still appear in the spotlight search. Does anyone know how to recover them ? Any help will be much appreciated since I really need most of those texts. Thank you.

First of all, it is possible to recover iMessage from the iPhone 5s. If you have turned on "iCloud Backup" before, all messages would be synced to the cloud automatically. You can follow the official guide for more details:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
Or you can restore data from the latest iTunes backup to your iPhone, maybe the texts that you want are there

How can I delete emails that only appear when I do a spotlight search?

I have a number of emails that are only locatable through a spotlight search which I am unable to delete. They all appear to be unread, although they were read. The only options I have when I bring them up are to "Cancel" or "Send". Choosing "Cancel" brings me to whichever email account I was most recently using. Hitting "Send" does, indeed, send them, but makes them no easier to delete.

The only way to delete them from the Spotlight cache is to totally restore your iPad as new.
Those emails will not show up in the mail app if you tap on then in the spotlight search. They have been removed from the device and will not reopen in the mail app.

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

How to Delete Messages in Spotlight Search History without Resetting or Syncing!!

I know there are a lot of individuals dealing with this issue and if you are like me you spend hours searching "how to delete messages in spotlight search history" and it seems like every post either says to reset your phone or sync it! I'm sorry but I did not want to go through the hassle of resetting my phone but I did try to sync it which did nothing so I decided to just mess around with my settings and I believe to have found the answer to everyone's question!!
This worked for me so I really hope this works for you! Just follow the steps below:
1. Go to <settings><general><spotlight search><uncheck messages>
2. Then turn your phone off and wait a minute! Turn your phone back on and off again 2 or 3 more times while waiting a minute in between turning it off!
3. After you are done doing that go back to step 1 and <check messages>!
4. Now go to your spotlight search and those messages should be deleted! If they are deleted I would recommend going back to step 1 and <uncheck messages> so you do not have the same problem with messages showing up again in the spotlight search!
It works for Mail too! Just follow the same steps listed above but uncheck mail instead of messages or do both at the same time!!
*Here is an extra tip which will remove deleted Mail Messages, just follow the steps below:
1. Go to <settings><mail, contacts, calendars><your mail account> scroll down and click <advanced> Now click <remove> under the title Deleted Messages and you can choose to have your mail removed After One Day, After One Week, After One Month or Never.
I hope this post was detailed enough and easy to understand!
I really hope it works for you like it did for me!
Good Luck!!!

I tried this fix and it does not work.
I have read that this is a problem for a long time - years. Me, personally, I do have emails and texts from the past that are private and were deleted, that I do not want my husband or daughter to read. Many people have this complaint and have had it a long time. Why does Apple not fix it?!?
Another privacy issue is the iMessage default settings on new devices. We bought a new iPhone for my college-age daughter and received all of her text messages until we noticed it and told her. We did a temporary fix. Then I got a new iPhone and the same thing happened. I had to set up iCloud accts. for each of us so that we each have privacy that cannot be tampered with. We still share our original iTunes account. Why did that have to happen?!?
We have been Apple consumers (laptops, iPads, iPods, iPhones) for over ten years (? longer w/just desk top) w/ the same account. These breaches in privacy are upsetting!! My point here is that these breaches are unacceptable! The spotlight search issue appears to be unresolved. FIX THIS APPLE!

Spotlight search not appearing in ios7 when swiping down

The spotlight search box is supposed to appear in IOS7 when you swipe down on the home screen or within apps, but it doesn't. When I swipe down, I get the notification centre and that's all. In my settings- general - spotlight search, all apps shown are checked. Spotlight search is nowhere to be found. How do I access spotlight search in IOS7?

Tap anywhere on your background...just not near the top or bottom edges...and swipe down. Spotlight should appear from the top of your screen and you can type in what you're searching for.

Desktop is black and dock disappeared. I have to use spotlight search to open apps. How do i fix this?

My desktop is black and the dock is not on my screen. I have to use the spotlight search to open apps. When i log in guest user everything works fine. It's only my account. How can i fix this?

open spotlight and type the name of any folder. Select it. A finder window will open. Basically you just need a finder window. right click on the title of the window. You will get a dropdown menu. Select the name of your hard disk ( most probably "Macintosh HD") now you will see a folder named system alongside applications, users, library, etc. click on the system folder. Then click on the library folder which is the only folder that appears once you get inside system folder.
now scroll down and find CoreServices folder. Open it and then find dock.app and open it.
