HT204413 Spotlight no longer works, even though keyboard binding is enabled in preference pane??

Macbook Pro, mid 2014, OSX Yosemite 10.10.2

Does the window pop up, but no results?
if so, open Activity Monitor and see if mds is using lots of CPU%. If so, kill the process.
If no window at all, boot into Safe Mode and see if it works. http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider

    I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider. Will the other widgets no longer work?

    There are a few things that won't work on other hosting sites; hit counters and pop-up slide shows for sure.
    See http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.iW11.html for more info, and/or the iWeb forum at https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iweb

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 Norton IS site logins no longer work, even though they are running, they do not auto load. Is FF not being recognised after the update ?? ??

    Normally when i open FF the Norton IS login manager kicks in automatically and completes all the various site logins.
    '''However '''since the update to FF4, even though Norton IS 2011 is running the login manager is not working, it's as if FF4 is not being recognised as my browser any longer.
    There must be a fix for this; if not i'll be forced to revert to the previous version of FF
    New'ish system i3, Win 7, MS Office, Norton IS 2011, Firefox 4.0

    You are almost correct in your assumption Norton needs updating to FF4
    You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here:

  • Wireless keyboard function keys don't work even though updated

    Hi,
    like i read in different threads, many others had this problem too.
    The function keys of my bluetooth keyboard (aluminium 2009) don't work even though i did firmware update for mighty mouse AND the keyboard firmware update. I also unset the option 'use function keys with fn......' option in system preferences. I also tried disconnecting and connecting the device. In system profiler the entry says it is (still) firmware version 80.
    What can i do?
    I'm thankful for any hint.
    Best, Jörg

    wrote this in another thread, but it is relevant here, too.
    Wanting to buy a keyboard and reading this thread (and others), I went to a local Best Buy. They had quite a few of the wireless keyboards out. They had MC184LL(A) models and (B) models.
    ALL of the (A) models worked perfectly with the iPad (typing, brightness, volume, ipod functions, etc).
    NONE of the (B) models worked other than basic typing.
    They had a stack of maybe 50 new wireless keyboards on the shelf. All but two of them were (B) models.
    I bought one of the two (A) models. It is working perfectly on my iPad.

  • How is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order!

    how is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order! The front of the bottom is hot while the rest if mildly warm. I don't know if its going to have a problem in the future. I wiped off as much as I could with a cloth and left it open and upside down for 10-15 minutes. Any idea if I am in the clear?

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Do not wait.

  • My iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information.  How do I get the old email account off my iCloud

    my iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information.  It keeps asking me my old password to the old email address which is NOT a valid email any longer.  I'm unable to manage my iCloud until this is resolved.  HELP

    If your Apple ID is the one that you use for making all of your purchases, it should, automatically appear in FaceTime already. How a no longer valid email address got there to begin with is a mystery to me, if in fact you do have, and have been using another Apple ID.
    Go to Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID. Tap the old email address and sign out, sign in with your Apple ID. It should be verified and allow you to select it as the address that you can be reached by for FaceTime.
    If that does not work, time FaceTime off, restart your iPad and then start all over again.

  • Location services don't work even though they are on

    My location services do not work even though they are switched on. When I ask Siri something that requires my location it tells me to turn on location services and Siri but they are already on.

    For location the iPod uses the location nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's data base. You do not have to be connect to the router.
    Thus, it appears that the router the iPod is using does not have the correct location in Apple's database. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.
    To test this, go to another location/another network like Starbucks and see if location work there

  • After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
    Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

    Have you tried going to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy and dragging your hard drive into the box then drag it back. That will trigger a re-index.

  • After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

    After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

    When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

    How much iphone 4s wifi chip cost?Still my 4s wifi is not working even though I already updated it to ios7. Thank You!!!..

    You cannot replace just the chip. If all of the various solutions suggested in Apple's support documents and here in these forums do not help, you will need to 1) take or send your iPhone to Apple for replacement, 2) pay to have an unauthorized third-party shop attempt repairs, or 3) attempt repairs yourself. The latter two options will void any further support from Apple.
    Regards.
