HT201285 How do I start / run spotlight search to search for something???? :D

that's the question: How do I start / run spotlight search to search for something????
Thanks!

I think I figured it out: screen doesn't say "Spotlight", it's just the keyboard when you swipe left to right on home screen . . . . .
oh well, I have other talents: tap dancing.
If you have more info or cool suggestions, please reply and thankyou. What I'm trying to find is a deleted message and its attached photo . . . . . quasi urgent.
ThanksThanksThanks!

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!

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

Spotlight search for text messages not working

After upgrading to ios8, I discovered that the spotlight search for text messages only "sees" my last two texts but not any of the others I have on my phone. These are all active conversations, not deleted messages. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

I Fixed mine by going to setting->General->Sptolight and unchecking "messages", exiting the function then returning and rechecking "messages".

Spotlight Search for iBooks

It would be great to have spotlight search for iBooks.

Hi,
have the same requirement. iBooks as it designed right now is not Apple like at all.
Spotlight is not able to find books.
Files are renamed into the depth of operating system.
Like this I better keep my PDFs in normal folders being able to search for the title and even the contents.
Actually I expected that feature in Yose. ...

Why does the App Store crash every time I search for something on my iPod?

Every time I open the App Store on my iPod touch and search for something, it crashes. I tried resetting my iPod, but the App Store still crashes. I used to love my iPod and was very happy to have supported Apple, but it just makes me angry more than anything now. Also, in the Tree World app, my hippo was deleted. I was moving my critters around on their branches when all of a sudden my hippo was carried off the screen never to be seen again. I can't buy it from the market. I am VERY upset over this.

I have the same bug cuz of the new App Store application ,,, almost the next update they ll fix it ,,
But really it isn't a big problem ,,, after AppStore crash open it again ,,, & install what u want ,,,
That's all

How do you change the Spotlight Search from Google to Yahoo???

Does anyone know how to change the Spotlight Search setting in Safari 4 (Non Beta) from Google to Yahoo? I assume there is a way to do this though Terminal but all I can find are commands for the the Beta and not he final version.

I'll echo the other suggestion given already - Glims is the way to go.
My Safari is now set to use (oh the irony!) Live Search!
Now if they can JUST find a way to get the address bar to revert to pre-4.0 behavior I'll be happy!
(I'm not talking about the reload button on the far end; I'm talking about listing URLs by page title, "Top Sites", and bookmarks in that dropdown)

How do I move the spotlight search window out of the freaking way in Yosemite??????????

The spotlight search window is Yosemite is obtrusive. How can I get the old spotlight behavior back in Yosemite? Spotlight windows used to be on the side and out of the way. Now spotlight is completely worthless, if it is going block what I am working on. I don't need a luanchpad app. OS X is a multitask environment and spotlight kills the ability to multitask. My desktop and laptop computers are not tablets, so why is spotlight limiting their abilities.

There are lots of useful things you can do with spotlight. My most common uses are: (a) an app launcher, and (b) a quick calculator, (c) a search tool. Each of you probably have others.
When I'm using it as an app launcher, the pop-up window in the middle of the screen is not an issue. I type a few keys and it's gone. For example, "CMD-Spacebar S A Return" launches safari.
When I'm using it as a calculator the pop-up window is often annoying because it obscures the data I want to do calculations on. I have to remember all the numbers I want to type in. Could I just use the calculator app? Of course, but this wasn't an issue previously.
When I'm using it as a search tool the pop-up window is usually not a problem but sometimes obscures information I want to see
Bottom line based on my use cases is that I prefer the pop-up out of the way in the corner.

How do I Start - Run - \\LTVPCvenz001 ??

Start -> Run -> \\LTVPCvenz001
This in windows would open windows explorer and show my the available folders on device LTVPCvenz001 which in this case is a virtual PC which has some files in a shared directory I want to copy to my Mac.
I have tried \\LTVPCvenz001 in spotlight but it does nothing. I have tried the connect to server option in finder, but that failed to find it. What is the equivalent function on a Mac?

Go menu --> Connect To Server --> smb://servername/sharedfoldername
You should also clarify exactly what you're tyring to do, as your post is fairly unclear. Where does this LTVPCvenz001 folder reside? And exactly what software are you using? You say Virtual PC, but you also say you have a Macbook, which has an Intel processor and Virtual PC does not run on Intel processors.
