I can't prevent Spotlight from returning results from emails and Safari

Try as I might, I can't prevent Spotlight from returning results from emails and from Safari web browser history.
I've toggled the two relevant boxes in the Spotlight system preferences, and rebuilt the index, but it still returns results from categories that I have deselected (like emails and webpages).
The system preferences say "Only selected categories will appear in Spotlight search results". If only it were true!

I think this could be a reason, your settings regarding indexing of mail messages didn't stick.
I'm having other problems with security update 2008-005.
It'd be interesting to know if OnyX is able to fix your problem again. Hopefully its doings survive the next update.

  • Return results from ADEP in AS3 Arrays, not ArrayCollections

    Hi all,
    Is there any way to force ADEP to return results from data services in simple AS3 Arrays, not ArrayCollections? Here are my situation:
    In my project I use ADEP Data Management Services. To connect to ADEP services we use RTMP channel defined in services-config.xml:

    By default, ADEP returns results from SomeProduct.SomeItems destination to Flex side as ArrayCollection of SomeCoolClass instances but I need the data to be returned in simple AS3 Arrays. Recently, I found that there is small optional serialization configuration in channel-definition that should resolve my problem. So I updated my channel-definition in services-config.xml to this:
    <channel-definition id="my-rtmp" class="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel">
         <endpoint url="rtmp://{server.name}:1000" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/>
         <properties>
              <serialization>
                   <legacy-collection>true</legacy-collection>
              </serialization>
              <idle-timeout-minutes>20</idle-timeout-minutes>
              <block-rtmpt-polling-clients>true</block-rtmpt-polling-clients>
              <rtmpt-poll-wait-millis-on-client>0</rtmpt-poll-wait-millis-on-client>
         </properties>
    </channel-definition>
    However, result are still returned in ArrayCollections.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Answer copied below:
    "The problem is that when the focus is on the text box
    it's in edit mode. It's only displaying the value interactively entered by
    the user, or as a consequence of the change event.  What you need to do is
    force the focus off of the text box in code.  You can do a little trick
    where you bounce it to a tiny transparent field, which then bounds the focus
    back so it doesn't look like the focus changed."
    What I ended up doing was calling up the dialog box, then using setfocus with no parameters to remove focus from the field, as follows:
    this.rawValue = this.dialogBoxFunction(this.rawValue); // passing current value so dialog box defaults to that value
    xfa.host.setFocus();

  • Forcing the ReadAllQuery to return results from DB instead of cache

    How can I programmatically setup a ReadAllQuery to always return results from DB instead of cache. I dont want to use session.refreshObject - as this will result in 2 lookups - first for the actual search from cache or db and then a second search on each object on the DB. I am using Toplink 11.1.1

    You can use,

    or,

  • How can I prevent firefox to Offer to save passwords and how to remove the tick checked when I log in to gmail?

    While using firefox I am using, private browsing and not remembering any passwords.
    When I login to Gmail, the login page shows option to type in my gmail id and then password, and at the bottom, it gives the option of checkbox to remember the password next time. NOW, the problem is that, THIS CHECK box is always TICKED (Checked). I don't want it to be checked at all.
    So How can I prevent firefox to Offer to save passwords and how to remove the tick checked when I log in to gmail?
    Thank you so much.

    Hi Imran_Afzal, if you know that setting the cookie has no effect after you close your private browsing session, is it really worth finding a hack to clear the checkbox?
    I believe in order to do that you would need to use an extension or userscript. However, I haven't searched for one.
    ''Note: When searching for a userscript on userscripts.org, be very cautious as many hacked scripts have been posted lately. Check reviews and check the code to make sure it only runs on your Google site before installing.''

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • When I try to send a link to a page from Safari, I get a message saying that sending the message to the server failed.  It places a copy in the outbox.  All other email and safari functions work properly.  Ipad 2 IOS 7.1

    My Ipad2 works fine except when I try to email myself a link to a safari webpage.  I get an error message saying that the message failed to connect to the server.  It says that a copy of the message has been left in the outbox.  I cannot get the message from the outbox.  All other email and safari functions work as expected.
    I have cleared data and cookies, powered down, and done a reset.  Nothing seems to help.

    Typing in additional text seems to get the job done.  This seems to be a feature of the latest IOS update, I have never had the problem before the last update.
    I use the box with the arrow just to the left of the URL block at the top of the page to send myself links to pages of interest.  Adding the extra text seems like a pointless step, but it does work.

  • How remove data from OS X10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4 beyond Delete or Ctrl Del?

    How remove data from OS X10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4 beyond Delete or Ctrl Del?
    When I had a Windows OS based machine I had to dig deep into the Directory to find everything I wanted to remove as the delete function did not do so.  I don't know if this "digging deeper" action is even necessary in Mac and if it is where I would go in Mac to do so.  Is it?  If so, how?

    I appreciate your clarification inquiry request.  My goal was as initially stated, to "find everything I wanted to remove as the delete function did not do so.......if.....digging deeper.....is.....necessary.....and if it is where....go in Mac to do so....(and)...how?"
    I have now resolved my data removal inquiry, accomplishing it through use of William Lloyd's post of instructions.

    I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • Spotlight doesn't return results from shared drives

    I work in an all Mac graphics shop and we all (four of us) share a variety of volumes connected to a G4 running Tiger 10.4.11 (regular, not server version). Two of us have Leopard and two have Tiger (two Mac Pros running 10.5.6, two MacBook Pros running 10.4.11).
    The G4 is partitioned into an 80gb drive, a 500gb drive, and also has an external 500gb LaCie drive. We access all drives on this computer by automatically connecting to the shared "network" when we boot up each day. Hornware's Sharepoints is installed on the G4 "server".
    Recently, the two of us running Leopard on our MacPros lost the ability to search the shared volumes. I have had intermittent permissions problems since I started in October and I have attempted to troubleshoot this using the Sharepoints application (which, admittedly, I'm not familiar with, and I'm a noob to networking).
    I have tried adding and then deleting the drives from the privacy pane in Spotlight preferences (both on my MacPro and on the G4 server Mac). I've repaired permissions with Disk Utility. I've used DiskWarrior 3 to rebuild the directories on all but the external drive (will do that tomorrow). I also ran TechTools 4 but it took so long running the tests that I gave up and canceled (didn't work), force-quit and restarted.
    The second part of my question is would it be worth it to upgrade to Leopard on our server Mac and do away with Sharepoints altogether? I've read some horror stories about Leopard's buggy filesharing but I'm really hamstrung not being able to search my shared volumes.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Start with a search in these forums for search server, search servers, search network, etc. The first step. You'll find numerous items to peruse.
    Once that's fixed, see these for the Spotlight issues, if they're not related to the server one: http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html and my mod to Finder's Find at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6725932 for what you can change so you can find stuff excluded by the default structure.

  • How can I prevent the MediaTracker waitForID method from blocking?

    Hi everyone:
    I am writing an application that deals with various image file formats with the help of the JIMI package (available at http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/). Everything works fine except for the Targa format. When I generate an Image object as follows (url is a valid URL object):
    Image image = Jimi.getImage(url);
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);the program execution blocks at the second line above. I searched the ImageIcon source code for some clues, which led me to the following ImageIcon method (tracker is a MediaTracker object, a static property of ImageIcon):
    (01) protected void loadImage(Image image) {
    (02)   synchronized(tracker) {
    (03)     tracker.addImage(image, 0);
    (04)     try {
    (05)       tracker.waitForID(0, 0);
    (06)     } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    (07)       System.out.println("INTERRUPTED while loading Image");
    (08)     }
    (09)     loadStatus = tracker.statusID(0, false);
    (10)     tracker.removeImage(image, 0);
    (11)
    (12)     width = image.getWidth(imageObserver);
    (13)     height = image.getHeight(imageObserver);
    (14)   }
    (15) }The program blocks at line (05) above. I peeked into the MediaTracker class source code, which brought me to determine that the image loading process never finishes. The symptoms are as follows:
    (1) When I perform a c.checkImage(image, null) where c is some Component, I always get a result of 7, which translates to the following combination of ImageObserver constants:
    WIDTH | HEIGHT | PROPERTIESAs matter of fact, the dimensions are indeed determined correctly. However, when the loading process terminates, the checkImage result includes ALLBITS or FRAMEBITS in case of success, ABORT or ERROR in case of failure. None of these bits is ever turned on whenever I try to load a Targa image.
    (2) When I get to the MediaTracker source code, I see that when none of the four bytes above is set, the internal MediaTracker status has the MediaTracker.LOADING bit turned on (nothing abnormal here). And the waitForID method terminates precisely only when this bit is turned off!
    Logically, if the loading process fails for some reason, I should expect to get an error response so that I can go further in code execution. However, since the loading process never terminates, everything stays blocked at the waitForID method invocation.
    Is there an efficient way to detect such a hidden loading error without letting my program go into the waitForID endless loop? In other words, going back to the first two lines of code of this message, how could I detect that an Image loading process will not terminate before calling the ImageIcon constructor?
    Thanks in advance for any useful help...
    Jean-Fran�ois Morin

    Hi:
    I tried precisely your suggestion before posting my message to the forum yesterday. I just forgot to mention it... Maybe I was afraid of increasing my message length more and more...
    I already know that this solution prevents the MediaTracker from blocking. However...
    (1) If they reach a troublesome image (like a Targa), the users of my application might not be pleased by its freezing for 10 seconds. Actually, this image loading module is part of an architecture for database applications from which my development team and I produce applications for various customers. Images are used, in particular, in Oracle BLOB support.
    (2) If I use a smaller timeout delay, I have no guarantee that any image, whatever its length, will load properly (Targa excluded, of course). According to tests I performed yesterday, I am virtually sure that the 10-second delay will be busted very easily by pictures larger than 1 Mb. I cannot overlook this potential problem: an Oracle BLOB can contain up to 2 terabytes of data!
    On the other side, I don't want to focus too much the attention on the JIMI Targa import filter because I know that a revised version of the JIMI and JAI packages will be part of JDK 1.4. This is why I am trying to figure out what is happening in the MediaTracker and Toolkit classes, which are much more fundamental than the Jimi ones...
    Thanks anyway...
    Best regards,
    Jean-Fran�ois Morin

  • How can I prevent the settings on iMessage from changing each time I sync the devices with iTunes on our iMac?

    Each time I sync an apple device (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone) with iTunes on our iMac the settings on iMessage and phone settings change. We use the same Apple ID and have different e-mail addresses and phone numbers; however, each time a device is sync'd on iTunes on our iMac, the iMessage settings and phone settings are changed so that we all each get each other's text messages and phone calls. After the device is sync'd/charged, I have to go into each device (all of them somehow update when only one is sync'ing) and re-set the settings to what we want. How can I prevent settings from being changed each time?

    Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
    I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
    After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.
