Lion 10.7 clean install with Outlook 2011 mail search not working
Installed fresh copy of lion on my macbook pro 6,2. Then installed office 2011 and did all the patches. After the macbook pro finished its indexing I started to use my outlook 2011 email and noticed that email search did not work. (Outlook 2011 14.1.2 / Lion 10.7)
I fixed it by forcing another index:
sudo mdutil -E /
sudo mdutil -i on /
Now email search works.
Cheers
I've had this problem since Tiger. Various solutions have been posted, but none have worked for me. It really cripples Mail--I've used emails as my personal database for years, kind of a history log, which worked great in Eudora but Eudora isn't being supported anymore.
After updating to X.5.5, I can search "entire message" for "All Mailboxes" and find everything including emails in the mailbox I was viewing (often finds 60,000 occurences, but doesn't take very long--it's just incredibly tedious to find the one I want from such an enormous set of results). I can also find everything using Spotlight, outside of Mail. But if I am looking at any mailbox, like Inbox, search "entire message" never finds anything at all. Searching for subjects etc works fine.

Mail search not working after clean install of 10.5.4 on new 20" iMac
Apple Mail search is not working. Search on "subject line" works, but search on "entire message" does not. For example, searching with "parking" yields NO results, and there are many messages with the word "parking" in their body in the mailboxes. It happens with both "In Box" and "All Mailboxes" checked.
What's going on?
I did a clean install of Mac OS X on a 20" iMac using the Install disk shipped with the machine. Then I ran Software Update. Still, the problem happens, on a clean baseline system.

Mountain Lion Mail Searching not working (entire search)
Hello,
I already searched the web and the topics in this forum, but found no help.
Since my update from 10.7 to 10.8 (with a clean install and a transition of my user data) the search 'Entire Message' oder 'any' does not work anymore. It shows no results.
This is very strange since Spotlight is still able to find content inside Mail messages.
There are some posts for similiar questions suggesting to rebuild either the whole spotlight index or just rebuild the mail index.
Others suggest to rebuild the mail database by either deleting the files inside the folder of the library or use the menu command in Mail.
Others suggest to check the rights of the mail folder and its content inside the user's library folder.
I tried all of this. Nothing helped yet.
Thanks for help
carlI really tried everything but nothing helped.
But finally I solved the problem.
I made a timemachine backup (just for safety reasons).
Then I installed Mountain Lion again over the existing installation.
(I used a USB Stick with Mountain Lion to do that.)
Now everything works great. -
Outlook 2010 advanced search not working
We use Outlook 2010 32bit on Win 7 64bit machines, we are on a 2008r2 doamin and our Exchange server is 2010. I have a user who's advanced search is not working, regular search seems to work just fine. I have rebuilt the indexes, removed Outlook
from the indexes and added it back in. Nothing that I have done has corrected the problem. Has anybody had a problem with advanced search in Outlook 2010, if so what did you do to fix it? The user has a very large mailbox, about 10GB.
Thanks
Shaun
Shaun OwensHi,
Try to Rebuild the index
1. Click Start, in the Search box, type Indexing, and open Indexing Options under Control Panel.
2. Click Advanced, click the Index Settings tab, and then click Rebuild. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password
or provide confirmation.
If it still not works, try to use following method.
Step 1: Check registry settings
1. Click Start, in the Search box, type regedit and press Enter to open the registry editor.
2. Locate the following registry subkeys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Search\PreventIndexingOutlook
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Search\PreventIndexingEmailAttachments
3. Please first back up the registry subkeys above. Then, check if the value data is set to 1. If it is, please change it to 0, or delete the registry subkey.
For more information, you can also refer to the following article:

Hope that helps. -

Clean Install with Lion on SSD
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone could provide me a step-by-step guide for a clean install with Lion on to a new SSD.
I have already self-made a Mac OS Lion Installation CD - will this self-made CD be the only CD I need for the clean install (or do I need to use the original CDs that came with my MBP purchase) The CDs that came with my MBP was the Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (early 2011 model)
If the self-made Lion CD is the only CD I need - then my next question is how can I validate the OS version - I suppose there will be a content ID or some sort of key to ensure that the OS is a true copy? If a key is needed, how do I obtain that?
I was told that one can self-made a Lion Installation CD from a MBP with Lion OS on it and use the CD on all other MBP for upgrades to Lion - but again, there must be a license key to subsequent users, otherwise Apple would be losing money!
Thanks in advance for your response.
ChihHey Sam,
Thanks for your response.
Your response prompt me for another question - let's say I have multiple MBP, if I were to upgrade each MBP's hard drive to a SSD.
Will I be able to log in to my App Store a/c and use the purchased Lion OS (I only had one license) to upgrade all my MBP?
Thanks again.

I need to do a clean install with Lion. How do I do this. I can't find any doc. to tell me the procedure.
Follow the instructions at the link I posted
have a lot of old stuff transferred from Mac to Mac to Mac that is slowing down everything
If that included Power PC apps, read here > Lion upgrade questions and answers: Apple Support Communities -
Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
Answer:
Sounds like either:
A directory problem on your internal HD. Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX. -
How to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?
how to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
How do I redownload mountain lion for a clean install on the same machine without purchasing again?
I purchased mountain lion and upgraded my OS. The system seems to still be having some issues and I'd like to do a clean install with the new OS. How do I redownload mountain lion so that I can make a bootable disk and do my clean install?
You should be able to just go to the App Store and select Download again. If that doesn't work, try holding down the option key while selecting "Buy".
Good luck,

Attach to email not working with Outlook 2011
I've created a pdf document for users to fill out and then click a SUBMIT button which attaches the document to an email and sends it back to me. It works great with Windows users, however, it fails to create an email for Mac users with Outlook 2011. It opens the program but doesn't create an email. I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5
Can someone please help in fixing this matter as there are people that use Macs.
Thanks
MattYes the Acrobat PDFviewer Plug does nt work with anything but Safari on a Mac. In OS9 days it would work with any web Browser.
But Adobe has decided That they will only support Webkit Browsers and refuses to support despite pleading with Adobe by people using Ecko based browsers. This leave more people unable to use the adobe PDFviewer plugin, than can. A fellow from Germany called Schubert has come up with a PDF Browser Plugin that can use any Browser Webkit or Gecko except Internet Explorer. The one caveat is that you can't fill out forms. And he is banned from putting that feature in, by Adobe. -
How to install a clean install with leopard upgrade DVD!
Does somebody know how to do an clean install with a Leopard upgrade DVD?
I bought my MacBook for 1 week ago, and them said that i would get leopard sent later. And when i get it, its a upgrade cd that i cant install only leopard on my ny frsh hard-drive. *** apple?First, there is no such thing as a "clean install" option in OS X. But the "cleanest" install is to start with a reformatted drive (using Disk Utility's "Partition" tab), followed by an install of the OS that will be cleansed of any traces of OS or file system corruption. (The "unclean" options, "Upgrade" & "Archive & Install" won't be possible, & the erase part of "Erase & Install" is at this point redundant.)
However, if you use Setup Assistant (which runs after rebooting) or Migration Assistant to bring over copies of old system components, applications, & settings, you may be reintroducing something "unclean" from the old versions.
This said, if your up-to-date disk is just an updater (nobody seems to know yet), you can do a "cleanest possible" install by following the above with your original Tiger Installer disk, letting it reboot & not importing anything during setup, & then following the instructions supplied with the up-to-date disk to upgrade. At this point, you may want to clone the startup disk for future reference, before adding back in your apps & user files by whatever method(s) you chose.
