Mavericks Spotlight is Horrible -- I have to use my Windows 7 PC to find files that my MacAir with Mavericks cannot find -- what has happened to the famous Mac search feature? It is almost useless!
Why does Mavericks Spotlight not find files named, for example, Ono et al 2009, PNAS, 106(35), 14745-14750 - annotated when I use Ono as the search word. I can find the file using the search feature on my Windows 7 PC. Is there a way to change the perferences in Spotlight so it finds all file names if one searchers on a word in the file name? When I enter Ono in the Spotlight search box I get OnOff Switch slider, a list of files in which the Ono paper is referenced, and a Ono Yoko! But it does not find the 6 or so PDF files on the Computer with Ono and the primary author in the file name! Spotlight is almost useless.
First try to re-index Spotlight

if I have an older iPhone and it is connected to my cloud account with my other devices, what would happen if I delete my cloud account from that phone, will I delete it across all my devices?
Also, I have one more thing to ask. Can I then set up a new cloud account for the old iPhone just for my son to use?

I downloaded Iphoto 11 9.2 from the apps store (was on iphoto '09 before version 8.x) and when opened it for the first time it tried to update my photo librery and ended up corupting it to the extreme that I had to get a backup from time capsule and downgrade my iphoto version. I spent yesterday 6 hours at the genius bar in an apple store and they were not able to provide me with any other solution. In the emantime, I have to forget about about photo streaming... Any idea, is this a bug that somebody knows how tp fix?
In fairness, this isn't an issue in iPhoto 11 but one in your Library. Some file or other in there is damaged and that's what causes the crash during the upgrade.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -
You prompted me to install Firefox 6 this evening, as it addresses serious security/stability problems, but when I did this, the Rapport icon vanished from the address bar. Reinstalling the current version of Rapport has not fixed this.
The same thing happened a few months ago with Firefox 5, and it took Rapport a week to develop a new compatible version.
Why has this happened again? Do you not check this before launching new versions? Or, why at the very least do you not warn us beforehand that some programs will not work for X days? I'd prefer to be without the latest Firefox for a week or so rather than without Rapport - not least because my bank requires me to use Rapport.
Please advise ASAP.
Malcolm OliverThis is the link in the message that Trusteer has sent me today. I have updated and works fine thus far.

What has happened to the 'back' button that used to be in the upper left corner of the page?
Suddenly yesterday I lost the ability to return to the homepage when I'm finished with a website.
Also I no longer have a way to log onto a website with a www...If you do not see any menus or toolbars, Firefox might be in full screen mode. The F11 function key switches between regular and full screen modes.
Make sure your Navigation Toolbar (main bar with URL area and back button) is turned on using either of these:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Navigation Toolbar
* tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Navigation Toolbar
If the Navigation Toolbar is visible but some controls are missing, try resetting your toolbars as follows:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
* tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Customize
In the Customize dialog, click the Restore Default Set button.
Any luck? -
I am just starting to use an Apple product. There are things I want to delete like e-mails, etc. Where did it go. Why can't there be a selection in the font saying DELETE.?
This is a question.

Unfortunately, it isn't absolutely clear where you are trying to delete email from, could you provide some more information for us please. -
I have 302 events in my iPhoto but only 14 are visible. Any idea what has happen to the rest?
I have iPhoto 9.5.1
I went to go look for my photos from Venice and realized that all of my events were gone except my photo streams. On the left hand side in iPhoto it tells me that I have Events (302), but only 14 show up. Also tells me that I have iPhotos (1,485), which a lot of are not showing up. I am only able to view my photo streams.What happened before this problem occurred? Have you moved your iPhoto library? Run any cleaning/duplicate remover apps? Shared the library with another account?
Have you checked, if the search field at the bottom of the iPhoto window is cleared? If this search field is not empty, fewer events and photos will show. -
What has happened to the 'bounce' option that used to be an option in Mail?
In the oprevious edition of mail there was an option to 'bounce' back unwanted mail - it does not appear to be available in the current edition of Mail.
Anyone know how to 'bounce' back an unwanted email?This was removed, because "bouncing" spam is a bad idea on multiple levels and doesn't work anyway. However, if you want to bounce an e-mail from a specific human being who you're trying to avoid, there's an AppleScript floating around... just search these forums, or use the More Like This box at right. Just be aware that a savvy individual will be able to tell that it's not a real bounce.

I am using Mavericks. In Mail I had a list of VIPS and used it extensively. Now it has disappeared and VIPs on the menu bar is faded. There is nil response to VIP in help. Can you tell me what has happened?
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/VIPSenders.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above. -
I had an iPhone 4S, I recently upgraded to a 5s and have been using it since early December. I kept my same Apple ID . I gave my 4s away, the person set up their own Apple ID for the 4s however now I can't use my Apple ID in my 5s. Any help please
There could be many causes. What happens when you try to use it. also try adding it again.

When I open iPhoto this appears- "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" I have not used iPhoto before on this computer. I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager as suggested but nothing happened. What should I do?
I think the usual advice is to use the Rebuild command in Library Manager.

Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...
Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

I have been using my apple TV successfully for 1 year. Today there was a message telling me I cannot sign in because the terms and conditions have changed. Please go to apple support for more info. However, I cannot find any info. What do I do next.
Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.
