Power Book G4 , Spot Light and other search app stopped working

When I use spot light on my iMac G5 it always worked , but has stopped working on my G4 Power book OS 10.4.7, I went to the new Apple store and was given a procedure to follow but it did not change the situation, Un fortunately I cant remember what it was , It involved dragging the hard drive into and application, should I just reinstall from the tiger CD ?

  • MY BBM , BLACKBERRY WORLD, FACEBOOK APPS AND OTHER IM APPS STOPPED WORKING ON MY HOME WiFi CONNECTION

    Please I am wondering if anyone will have solution to my BBM problem , I am presently using my blackberry on home wiFi connection as I have ended my contract with my network provider(virgin). The BBM, IM applications ( yahoomessenger, window live, AIM, talk) ,my facebook apps and blackberry world were all working fine even with different wifi connection. But recently I am unable to use all these above mentioned applications more importantly my BBM as I needed it badly to communicate. Initially , I thought it was the internet connection at home but I found out the browser and two other applications I have are working perfectly. I don't know if anyone will have an idea of any solution to this problem. 
    I would appreciate any effort towards solving this problem.
    Thanks

    BBM requires an active BlackBerry data plan. As for others, try downloading the latest version of App World from www.blackberry.com/appworld and then update your Facebook and Twitter apps, most should work via WiFi only.

  • IPhoto and other iLife Apps not working

    About a month ago I was having serious problems with my iMac. Ended up needing a new hard drive, so Apple sent it away, put in a new hard drive, and sent it back. I've had it for two weeks and am just now using some applications (probably should have checked everything when I got it back, oh well), and some iLife stuff and programs that come installed are not opening. I am running Mac OS X 10.4.11 FYI
    What works: Mail, Safari, iChat, Address Book, Itunes, iMovie, iCal, Quicktime
    What doesn't work: iPhoto, iDVD, Garageband, iWeb, Photo Booth
    Just a note, iWeb is the only one that prompts me and tells me that I need to re-install iLife. When I went to download latest iLife update it told me there was nothing to update and I needed to reinstall iLife.
    Also just went into the applications folder again and realized I have both Spaces and Time Machine installed, except they do not work with my OS, so I don't know why they are on there (when I try opening them just to see what would happen it says "does not work with your OS X). Also, Senuti and iPodRip also are not working, so anyone have any ideas as to programs that would let me get my music off my ipod and back on to the computer?
    The programs that don't work just bounce out of dock once then go back down immediately, and do not open at all. I tried installing the software bundle package from my OS X install disk but while the install was seemingly successful it did not change anything. So AAGGHH what do I do???
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the Core 2 Duo in the white case, released late 2006. Definitely have been running Tiger on it (just checked and I am running 10.4.11), sent it away, got it back, and just noticed that these programs don't work and I have programs native to Leopard inexplicably on the computer for some reason. I don't really want to remove them though cause I would like to have them on in case I have to go to the Apple Store so I can point it out to them and ask some questions about why Tiger (the OS installed on the computer) applications are not working while Leopard applications are installed even though they don't work and shouldn't be on there.

  • Navigation and other features suddenly stopped working after I upgraded to FF4.

    A day or two after I upgraded from FF 3.6 to FF4, all the ordinary navigation features stopped working. Backspace/alt-<, even the back and forward arrows, Crtl-R to reload a page, and the address field doesn't show the current URL unless I click the identify information icon. All very odd. None of the keyboard shortcuts work.
    My bookmark toolbar does not load automatically, although I guess that Vista is the source of that issue.

    Doing a downgrade is not anything I have done or feel comfortable with. Is there a clean procedure to accomplish this?

  • Office 2004 and other applications suddenly stopped working

    All of a sudden I've been getting the following with any Office application, and other applications have been exhibiting strang behavior as well. Specifically the error with any Office is:
    "Application "could not be launched because of a shared
    library error: <"
    I can't even uninstall Office because the uninstall program generates the same error.
    Also, iChat no longer works (opens for a split second then closes without an error msg) and iMovie give the following bizarro error message:
    iMovie requires a “Quartz Extreme Compatible” graphics card. Certain iMovie features such as Themes, Ken Burns Photos, and Video FX may not work properly with your graphics card.
    I'm running an intel iMac (OSX 10.4.8)
    I have tried verifying & repairing permissions to no avail.
    Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? <br>

  • Google Voice Search app stopped working

    Anyone else seeing this problem: Google Voice Search stopped working. The new Google app that allows voice recognition searches starts up then ends and sends me back to home screen. It was working fine yesterday.
    Everything else works.
    Shame it was pretty nice. Guess I'll dump it and re-load it.

  • Remote App (and other network apps) Stop Connecting

    My network consists of the latest generation Time Capsule and Airport Express (for Air Tunes) with several pieces of hardware connected:
    -MacBook Pro
    -Mac Mini
    -Apple TV
    -iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch
    My problem lies with making connections to my MacBook Pro using the Apple Remote app or Air Video.
    *The Remote app will connect just fine, but after a few days I try to connect and it will timeout.* The only thing that seems to solve this is to restart my Time Capsule. Then again Remote and Air Video work fine on my local network for a few days, then they will start timing out when they try to connect.
    Interestingly, when I try to re-pair my Remote with iTunes when it if failing to connect, the remote will appear in iTunes, but when I enter the passcode to pair it will similarly timeout. So, I know my remote and iTunes see each other, but they won't seem to "talk."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks, just wanted to check to eliminate the most obvious possibility.
    Sorry, no other ideas at this time. Perhaps someone else here will have a suggestion, though this not being an iTunes issue, per se, you might have more luck in the Apple TV, Time Capsule or MBP forums.
    Regards.

  • Preview, iPhoto and other Apple apps not working

    I upgraded to Lion. My Time Machine backup disk saved me. Lion has been fraught with issues from the beginning of my experience with it. Why even release it? If this level of inconvenience and disruption was even remotely foreseeable, more tutorials should precede such an important, far-reaching software upgrade. How disappointing and how much more agravation is in store? I hope not much

  • Hi, I swapped from o2 to vodafone and my apps stopped working.

    Hi - can anyone help please? I swapped from O2 to vodafone and all my apps stopped working. Tried deleting and re-downloading a couple and also tried downloading a brand new one - all would not work. Started to open and then immediately closed.
    I Tried lots of things and eventually found a thread on here that advised de-authorizing and re-authorizing my pc. I did this and it worked to some extent as I can now download new apps and they work so this was obviously part of the problem.
    However a lot of apps that I want wont download from the app store as I have a iphone 3g which only goes to 4.2.1 and they require higer OS now. I have a backup copy of my old apps (.ipa files) which will work on 4.2.1 and thought I would be able to load these back on. They seem to go in to itunes OK and they sync on to my phone but they will not run. Start to open and then close again (just like the original problem). I think it is something to do with being authorised by apple but don't know how to fix. I have always had the same apple id throughout and my iphone was unlocked properly by 02 so no funny business. Any ideas anyone? Many thanks.

    ask your phone carrier.

  • I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

    I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
    if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
    because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
    can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
    Help.

    BB1B2,
    The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
    You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • Mac Mail Version 6.0 (1486) has stopped recieving mesages regularly and the search doesn't work

    Mac Mail Version 6.0 (1486) has stopped recieving mesages regularly and the search doesn't work.
    Since installing Mountain Lion, Mail seems to be very unresponsive. I have mac mail running on an iMac (which works fine) and a 2012 MacbookPro which is the one having the issues with the Mail app. Both computers are running on Mountian Lion.
    When I scroll up in Mail for instance, the frame rate drops to about 5 a second.
    When I click on a message it doesn't display it in the preview pane. Which is very annoying!
    But I can get around the issue by double clicking on a message and it opens up the message in a new window.
    When I search for a message, nothing appears in the results. Even if Im searching for something that is defiently there, eg if I type in my name, you'd think some results would come up. But when I click on something else, the results dispaly for about half a second. Bizarre. Is anyone else having this problem?

    what kind of error in browser you are seeing?
    is search service application never starterd or its started but cannot crawl?
    did you see the timer jobs related to search services and what's their status?
    so what about the search results from site collection?
    also make sure this service "SharePoint Search Host Controller Service" started on all servers in the farm.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog
    In the browser I receive the following error:
    The search service app is running, doesn't crawl:
    Yes, I can see the timer jobs related to search services, some of them are Succeded, others are Scheduled.
    The service SharePoint Search Host Controller Service is started in the first server of the farm, but not in the second
    one. When I try to start it, I receive the following error:
    Windows could not start the Sharepoint Search Host Controller Service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

    iPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    Quit/close all apps and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can try this as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
