My Search Light doesn't work half the time.

When I go to search for an application I get NO results, nothing.. and its for items I know I have on my phone. Any fix for this?

Whoa....dude...chill.  I wouldn't expect much help from others here with that kind of attitude.  I was aware of the comment regarding it being an intermittent problem but figured it might help to check those settings because I experienced a similar issue.  Keep in mind this is a user forum - if you're that bent out of shape that you need to resort to name calling maybe you should go seek help elsewhere.

  • My iPhone 5 lock button doesn't work half the time. What can I do about this?

    For the past month or so my lock button hasn't been working. It takes three or more tries to get it to work and sometimes I just can't even use it. Pressing harder doesn't work. Is there anything anyone can help me out on with this? It's getting annoying and I want to know if there's a way to fix it.

    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Auto Import CD then Eject unreliable (works half the time)

    I'm trying to re-rip my large collection of CDs, so I set my iTunes General Preferences to:
    When you insert a CD: [Import CD and Eject]
    Unfortunately, it doesn't work half the time. When it does work, it works as you might expect. I insert the CD, it spins up, iTunes mentions that it is looking up the track info online, and then it starts importing. When it's done it ejects. Perfect.
    However, sometimes I insert the CD and things go differently. It spins up, iTunes acts like it's doing something, but then it stops as if no CD were present. There's no CD listed on my desktop nor on the left panel of iTunes. My only option here is to use the top menu bar Eject -> Eject Superdrive tool, then reinsert. The second insertion of the CD makes it work as listed in the previous paragraph.
    At first it seemed to fail every few CDs, but now I have to do the in-out-in thing on every CD. Because this requires MORE attention on my part than doing it the normal, manual way, I have resorted to the old manual way. Insert CD, iTunes shows the CD, and then I say Import. Then I manually eject.
    Anyone know why the auto feature isn't working reliably?
    Thanks!
    Michael

    Actually the problem seems unrelated to whether I have auto-import turned on or not. The problem appears to be general, and related to CD identification.
    I notice when it fails that iTunes has begun doing the CDDB (or whatever it's called now) lookup, but that only flashes briefly and then it goes away as if there were no CD in the drive. I eject, immediately reinsert, and it works the next time.
    Now that I'm nearly done re-ripping my collection (450 CDs), I'd estimate that it fails to see/recognize/mount 1 out of every 5 CDs on the first try.

  • Ethernet Port only working half the time

    I recently moved into a dorm/hotel for the summer, and my internet worked for the first four days I was there. Then one day, it just didn't. It doesn't recognize that the cable is plugged into the wall. The AirPort is fine, and I've been using the wireless connections in the lobby. I had the IT department at the school check the ports in the room, and they believe they're fine. The ethernet cable seems to work in the lobby port, it works half the time in my friends room, but not at all in my room. Any ideas on what's going on or how to fix it?

    You can use http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180. if that does not work you have to do repair.

  • Safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time

    It is annoying: safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time. The little icon to the right of the "New Tab" area sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. The Shift Command Back-slash, sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I find no rhyme nor reason for this. I have a MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion, the latest updates. It doesn't matter if I am in Full Screen or not.
    I am quite confused regarding this.

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type of copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, empty the cache more often from your keyboard.
    Command + Option + E

    Well, yes and no. If you call to arrange a repair there is no charge for the call. For tech support other than a repair there is.

  • Mail doesn't send half the time

    My SMTP server is TalkTalk ( UK) and when I send mail it works fine... half the time.
    The other half I get the 'sending' wheel spinning. nothing in my activity window, and eventually the following alert:
    <Cannot send message using the server smtp.talktalk.net>
    Sometimes, the message appears simultaneously as I get the 'whoosh' of sent mail and when I 'Try with Selected Server' the email goes immediately, and my correspondents report a double post!
    Other times, I get no whoosh, I 'Try With Selected server' and then I get the whoosh.
    So the server is fine.
    There is something wrong with my mac
    any ideas?
    peter

    I will ask them what their time-out is, thanks.
    I tend to avoid automated downloads/uploads and have everything set to manual, as I use my mac for audio production and don't like the idea of background tasks suddenly kicking in ( while perhaps recording or rendering is taking place) . It probably doesn't matter with the new processors, but it's a habit I will stick to until proven unnecessary.
    What I should really do is have a boot partition just for audio, but I rather like being able to instantly switch tasks - I have a very disorganised lifestyle
    'Blink': sorry - this is jargon from my online conferencing system, cix. It uses a Mail-type reader to run conversations offline rather than using it as an online forum. It means a simultaneous upload/download of messages.

  • My AIM iChat works half the time can this be the issue?

    I saw that AIM allows you to use your email as your screen name. My email is through a web hosting site. For example it's like [email protected]
    Half the time I open up ichate\, it says I'm online and my status says I'm available with the little green bullet. My buddy collumn has the arrow down, but theres no one under it. It looks almost as if every person is offline. Why is this happening? Can it be my web hosting email screen name thats the problem?
    I think I may have ran into this issue even with my old screen name but I can't remember. Any suggestions? It feels like its starting to be the majority of the time it's not working now.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Yes AIM does allow you to register any Email address.
    It come about from allowing Apple @Mac.com names and later @Me.com names, as well as several other ISPs email names, to be Valid AIM Screen Names.
    If you search for it there is a different Registration Screen for this.
    If your Buddy List is set up to Show Groups (View menu) and you only have one Group you will only see one grey bar with the Arrow that can be turned On and Off to Display the list or Not.
    If you turn Off Show Groups then there is no grey Bar.
    The Grey Bar should have the Name of the Group, what is this please ?
    I would also use the View Menu to turn On Show Off line Buddies (I am not sure from your description this sis what you are doing)
    If you delete a Group then you lose all the Buddies that were in that Group as well.
    If the group you do have is "Recent Buddies" this is a Special Group only held on the AIM servers of people you have had contact with that are not in your Buddy List.
    In iChat 4 and 5 you can turn Off the Display of this Group in the iChat Preferences > Accounts.
    Next Level.
    In iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security Tab you can set who sees you as On-line.
    Check you are not set to Block everyone.
    If it is set to Allow Specific People then Buddies need to be in that list (Recent Buddies cannot be in this list)
    NOTE:- Some of these settings can be influenced by using the same iChat details in a second (Test) Mac User account and using Parental Controls.
    You will only really sort it by taking off the Parental Controls.
    Based somewhat on the Note issue a second login can also effect things if it was logged in first.

  • Chrome doesn't start half the time after upgrading to Lion.

    When I click on the Google Chrome icon either on the dock or from Applications, nothing happens half the time. The icon on the dock doesn't do the bouncy thing any more, it just sits there like a smug little twit, taunting me, daring me to do something. If I logout and login, it often starts working. Sometimes I need to reboot the machine. Lion is updated on a daily basis, so it isn't old OS libraries that's causing the problem. Any suggestions?

    odd, works here like a charm..
    try this..(i assume you have installed this under applications and no other google products installed)
    remove google chrome.app
    remove <username>/library/google
    remove <username>/library/application support/google
    remove /library/google
    after that reboot and try to reinstall google chrome

  • Junk mail filter doesn't work all the time

    Why doesn't the Junk mail filter work all the time? I click on mail like from Best Buy or Omni Hotels to go into junk mail but hardly any of their mail goes into Junk. Other sites go directly to Junk. If I click on a Best Buy mail to indicate it's Junk, shouldn't that work 100% of the time forever and ever?

    The Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message. It ignores the sender. (Filtering based on the sender is an ineffective way of dealing with true spam, since spammers use constantly-changing spoofed addresses.)
    If you don't want mail from a legitimate sender like Best Buy, unsubscribe from their ads. If that doesn't work, make a Rule to delete or move the messages.

  • 9860 Audio issues: Ringtones & alerts work half the time!

    Hi to everyone,
    I have a problem with my Torch 9860: the device is not ringing half the time. My alarm & alert tones don't sound--half the time. 
    I've had the .373 version and no audio problems with it, then i've made an upgrade to .440 and the problems came onto my device, so wipe and a new installation of .440 and the problems were still there, again a wipe and a new installation of .474 and the problems are still there!
    Is there a way to solve it? Please post your opinions, suggestions and what I haveto/should/must do to fix the issue. I'm desperate, please help me! Thanks in advance!

  • Hp dvd 1040i Disk tray doesn't open half the time

    My disk tray is awful to try to open. I press the button, activity light, lights, but the tray doesn't open. Press and hold the button and the same thing happens. I have to go into Windows Explorer (XP sp3) and right click the drive and select "eject" to get the disk tray open. About 10% of the time the button described above does work, 90% not.
    I noticed in my device manager the drive is described as "HP DVD WRITER 1040d". Did I get the wrong driver with this drive?  I cannot find any DVD support on the HP site.

    I wanted to add that the "pin method" of opening the drive is also requires multiple tries and seems no more successful overall than just pushing the button repeatedly.  I actually have the best luck getting them to open by applying leverage with the tip of a knife as I push the button.
