How do I get Mavericks to search server?

Just "upgraded" to Mavericks. I can search my hardrive without issue but I am having NO luck finding anything on the server.
Any suggestions?

Hi J,
Is the server running OSX & indexing itself?
Options other than Spotlight...

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical. 
    If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
    Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization? 
    You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
    If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured.   This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
    If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
    The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
    http://10.20.30.40
    UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share.  That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network.  You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server.  (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
    If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance.  If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed.  (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

  • How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?

    How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
    Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.

    Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
    Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it.

  • How can I get Spotlight to search my Users/Shared folder?

    How can I get Spotlight to search my Users/Shared folder?  It searches the folders in the other users, but not Shared.  When I CMD-I the Shared folder, my group has read-write privileges (all groups have at least read-only privileges).  When I do the search in the Finder window (with the Shared folder highlighted), It gives me the options of This Mac and "Shared".  When I click on "Shared," it does not give me any results.  I keep documents, photos, iTunes data, etc, in this Shared folder, and would like to be able to use Spotlight on it.

    I appreciate the 108 "views," but there weren't any replies, so I took another shot at figuring it out.  I did a CMD-I on the Shared folder, and made the "everyone" group have read-write access, and it worked!  I'm not sure if its because now all groups have read-write access, or just because the "everyone" group does, but I don't care at this point.    I'll have to restrict a few folders within in there, but at least it searches the main Shared folder itself now.

  • HT4519 how do i get an additional SMTP server host?

    how do i get an additional SMTP server host?

    Can we start again.. My site is now online, I couldn't wait any longer because I need it for my buisness so I got rid of the code that wasn't working.
    But I still need a rollover text to appear so..
    1) I go into the code snippets and add a mouse over event
    2) In my actionscript I add your text: yourtextfield.text = "whatever text you want to show";
    So do I make an empty text field first, give it a name and replace "yourtextfield" with the name?
    Or do I replace "whatever text you want to show" with my text and thats just it?
    Or both?
    Or am I way off?

    If you don't get helpful replies, I suggest you try to improve your question style a bit. There are many non native English speakers around here and the ability to phrase slick sentences varies. But for a start you could try to adhere to minimal English language standards like starting a sentence with an uppercase letter, and ending a sentence with a dot and a blank to separate it from the next sentence. Don't use ellipses (...) all over the place suggesting that the reader knows what you want to say. Rather please say it.
    Its is good style to only post the necessary code to understand the problem. However, the code you posted seems to be cut off too early to even get a grasp at what you are trying to achieve.

  • What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?

    What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?

    What is your year and specs of your Mac Pro?
    How much RAM installed?
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have negative effects on system performance.
    Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac?
    These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
    Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
    They really aren't.
    There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
    These apps potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
    Plus, the software company's that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
    It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
    The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • I dowloard a book sample to iBook. I then deleted it and bought the book and downloaded it. The search engine will only search the 45-page sample and not the full book. How do I get iBook to search the full book?

    I downloaded a book sample to iBook. I deleted it and then bought the full book and downloaded it. The search engine keeps only searching the sample, about 50 pages, and not the full book. How do I get the search engine to search the full book?

    I am having this exact issue. I just downloaded a book and went to open it and got this exact problem.
    I purchased he book through indigo/kobo edition and paid for it and immediately went to open it and am getting the same error
    Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem only mine says  Bad Device key after.
    Not sure why someone has not answered this question yet...i am using windows 7 and this is how i always do it. Never had this problem before when purchasing a book.
    i hope someone answers this soon.

  • How can I get rid of search history in Safari on my iPad?

    When I highlight one to delete, the search kicks in. How can I get rid of the history?

    You can go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, cookies and data and then delete every bookmark and that should clear it temporarily, but it will only be temporary. As soon as you starting using the search again, then suggestions will appear again.
    I think that I may have misread your question - if you want to clear all of the history - use the Clear History button in the upper right corner of the History window. You cannot delete one item at a time.

  • Tried to install Mavericks but installation froze.  I tried to go back and click on install button but nothing happens. How can I get Mavericks to install?  I have OSX 10.7.5 currently.

    How can

    Check the App Store Purchases tab to see what shows there - it may be paused.
    So how do I get another copy of the installer as the install button for mavericks doesn't do anything when I click it?
    Download the installer again.
    You can try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account and see if the installer will run there.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • No matter which bookmark i click on or url i type, firefox connects to yahoo!search, and even from there i cannot connect to the desired webpage. how can i get yahoo!search permanently disabled?

    since this morning [1 may] i cannot connect to any bookmarked or other url [except the firefox homepage?!], because the only connection made is to yahoo!search. and even when yahoo!search displays the search result correctly to the site i want to go on, if i click on that i only get returned to yahoo!search again. since i prefer not to use yahoo!search at all, how can i disable yahoo!search permanently?

    There are other things that need your attention.
    Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
    You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
    Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
