Really annoying search function

Is anyone else having my problems:
1. I open iTunes and constantly the box pops up "accessing iTunes Store"... so I have to wait each time before doing anything because otherwise iTunes just becomes non-functional.
2. When I use the search function at the iTunes store, the bloody thing drives me crazy... I want to type, for example, Jennifer Gomez... I type in J and already the box pops up accessing iTunes store... I wait, another letter same thing... I now copy - paste the name in and hit return... it says accessing iTunes store but does nothing for a while... I have to hit return again after the box goes away in order to perform the search.
I have NEVER had this problem with any version of iTunes until just recently when I updated.
I'm now running Mac OSX 10.6.8 and iTunes version 10.3.1 (55) on an iMac Core i5 3.6 with 12 Gig RAM

What handset do you have and are you running Lumia Cyan as well as WP 8.1 ? Have you tried a soft reset - hold both Volume Down and Power buttons pressed until the phone vibrates and restarts. Note that you may lose correct Date nad time settings, which need to be restored for proper use of the handset.

Really annoying: Cannot search in the iTunes Store

For some reason, when I try and search for music in the iTunes store, I get a message that says "iTunes cannot complete your request, please try again later." Well I tried again later, again and again, and still get the same message. It is error message number 499. I can use the links to navigate the store and go different places, but cannot search. I ran the diagnostic thing and it said that everything is working properly, well obviously, it is not. I have heard of the entire store being down, but never just the search function. Perhaps the program is corrupted. If I unistall it and reinstall it, how can I save my iTunes library?

I get the same thing but (to add more details) I am logged into the iTunes Canada site and I get the error code "An unknown error occurred (5002)" I'll post the question to iTunes feedback as well... who knows, they may be working on it already.

Lion mail 5.2 search function

I just switched to Lion and have been disappointed with the Mail app. I'm over 50 and find the new "grayed-out" icons throughout Lion's new graphic scheme really annoying... and Mail is no exception. Ditto the bouncing of lists, texts, etc., at the end of their scrolling range. What purpose is served by this? Why can't they just stop?
Anyway, the main issue I have with Mail is the search function, which seems nearly useless. I can't seem to find a way to search on Subject, Contents or Sender, all of which functions have been vital to my business. I'm not sure what to do about this, because I'm stuck with Lion now and can't go back to Snow.
Can anyone help?

Doesn't work for me. The drop down I get is only the following:
"All/Inbox/Drafts/Sent/Notes/Flagged
trying to search in each of those fields does not bring up the old "Entire Message/Subject/To/From/ etc...fields.
I'm using Lion and it seems that this came on all of the sudden when trying to search in Mail shows NO search box choices. NO Subject / No Entire Message / No From / No To Etc.....
I have multiple machines all running Snow Leopard and only this one machine running Lion but I do not think that Lion was always this way since I updated this machine. I could be wrong. Is this the Lion and Mountain Lion Mail app and I just have not used the Mail Search function on this machine until now?
Anybody know if this is Apple's idea of "slimming down" the existing apps to be more iOS like or is this a malfunction of the most recent security/java update? Either way I hate it and can't find anything without those options. I ordered a T-Shirt it came in the wrong size. Before I could always type in T-Shirt under "Entire Message" and find the right one almost immediately. Now when I try I get the whole inbox it seems. No filtering at all.
Issue? or "New and Improved" from Apple?
I hope this is not the normal behavior for Lion, I already not pleased at the "New and Improved" combination of Search and URL address in the new Safari......It's a joke. Talk about limiting our macs to be more like our phones, geezo before long we will have one search function to use and it will be so time consuming to go thru the results it won't be worth it. If I could remember enough detail to narrow down my results I would not be needing the search function. Of well, thats another feedback letter for Apple i guess.

Really annoying Outlook 2013 developments

Can I somehow use “ignore” to switch off the most annoying feature of Outlook that drives me mad?
I want to be able to manage my calendar and meetings and it would be really nice to have a way of automatically rejecting a request for a meeting made with the Outlook
Calendar. In other words obliging people to simply email me and “ask” or phone.
The real problem in this age of “a meeting for every possible reason” is the inability to delete the things without sending a response. If I’m busy and need to clear
a slot for something important I want to scrub attendance at a meeting, without telling the person who sent the request. Then they can be educated into not including me in the request.
It is clear that the people at Outlook who developed this feature don’t understand what modern business life is like. They forgot to develop the “OFF” switch when
they came up with the idea.
2. Why does outlook 2013 have a “more” hyperlink. I used to be able to search everything by default with Outlook 2010. Now, the program developers seem
to think I might only want to search half my mailbox, and that is never ever the case. By the way I have the slider set to “All” emails by default but that only affects the cache, not the “search” function
Thank you

If this is the wrong place to ask these questions could someone please guide me to how you contact the people who develop MS Office.

1) You can disable the option to automatically add meeting requests as tentative in Calendar as per:
Do not automatically accept meeting as Tentative
2) To control how many search results you get returned see:
Configure how many Search results are returned

HT1632 I can view a workout on my ipod touch history, but not in itunes or on nike+ website. I can't seem to upload this run and it's really annoying as I'm loosing about 12k of runs. It seems to happen when I program in a custom run. Can you help?

Hi there,
I have just done a custom run on my Ipod touch 2nd Gen of 12k. When I finished the run is appearing in my run history on my iPod touch, however it is not appearing in my itunes 'Nike+' tab, or on the Nike + website. I can't seem to get this run to sync and it is really annoying because I'll be loosing 12k. Can anyone help or has experienced this before? I know there are solutions to add runs to iPod nano's and older iPods using the 'Enable disk' and iPod_control function however from what I'm aware you cannot do this on an iPod touch. Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
Phil

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Palm Desktop v. 6.2.2 - Media and Search functions stall application

I have a T3 - That I LOVE and STILL USE - BUT recently purchased a Centro - so had to download and install new Desktop software for it - v.6.2.2. I'm running WIndows XP.
The Media function or tab stalls the desktop - I could almost live with that as I don't have anything really in there- BUT I use the search function ALL the time - and just found out it stalls the app. as well.
I REALLY would rather not install and un-install - I was thinking - maybe there was a bug fix I don't know about or a fix for it or something
I assume if I HAVE TO uninstall I could sync my handheld (Yes as well as backing up the data) - and then uninstall and resync from Handheld - although not sure how to do this without messing anything up - BUT would rather find out if this is a fixable problem without going through all of that.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Post relates to: Tungsten T3

I use the Tungsten E2 & had upgraded to 6.2 (Access) OS. I had all filed backed up to another folder on the PD. I lost the DATE, ADDRESS, MEMOS & TO DO categories on the Palm Desktop. I tried to re-install 6.2 (the categories were still lost); I uninstalled 6.2 & installed 4.1 (but could not import files from my backed-up files).
The solution was to uninstall 4.1 (I used Windows uninstall) & to re-install 6.2. The missing categories were still missing. Right click on the Palm Desktop shortcut, click on Properties, click on Compatibility, put a check mark in the Administrator Box, click on Apply & click on OK. The missing categories returned including the data that was in them.

Best / most popular software or scripts for adding search function to website?

I'm trying to find a good piece of software or script for implementing a site search function into our website. I am relatively knowledgeable in Dreamweaver and can write CSS and XHTML at the fairly intermediate to advanced level, as well as work with JavaScript and js files, but I don't really know much ASP or "by hand" Java coding. Their are so many scripts and software out there for adding a site search that it's hard to sort through and narrow down. I was hoping to find reviews of the popular ones or "top 10 lists" of some sort that would help me pinpoint a good one, but can't find anything like that. These are the primary needs of the website:
--Has under 50 searchable pages that won't change much and probably won't exceed 50. There are product part numbers and descriptions for some 250-300 part numbers, spread across only 24 of those pages. The remaining pages are important but no part numbers-- About Us, News, Where to Buy, History, Featured Products, etc. The product pages are very much like an online store but we don't sell directly on the site (only thru distributors/reps).
--We are trying to keep the price under about $50, or use a free solution
--The pages are all static XHTML+CSS pages, but our server can run ASP (we have another website for one of our other product line divisions, on the same server, with many more products beyond 1000, which was programmed completely in ASP by an outside company about 4 years ago). We self-host both sites.
--Our server can't run PHP
--The search capabilities need only be rather basic-- a keyword search with a results page that uses the same design template as the rest of the site. It would be nice, but not mandatory, to have a search filter and/or a drop down menu to enable selectively searching only certain parts of the site, or only product/part number search vs. general search, etc. (but again, not mandatory).
--I do have a sitemap page already on it, if that matters or helps
Some of the ones I've found so far that looked the most promising include: Zoom Search Engine (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/), Site Search Pro (http://www.site-search-pro.com/), and FX Site Search which is a DW Extension I found in the exchange (http://www.felixone.it/extensions/prod/mxssen.asp)-- (that one looks possibly technically challenging or requiring more ASP skill, though)
Forgive me if there is a better area to post this, if so let me know.

For a static site, your options are:
Google ~ http://www.google.com/sitesearch/
Freefind ~ http://www.freefind.com/
Zoom from Wrensoft ~ http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/

I have always the error too, but this error is now since more than one month.
Is there nobody at oracle.com to correct this problem??
Or does nobody knows of the error?
Thats a really damn error.
You cannot search for something and so you need

Stack overflow at line: 1792 or 1788 when using the search function

Hello everyone,
My name is Thibault. I am a technical communications specialist. I've been using Robohelp html for a couple of years.
I am working on the user guide of the software application developed where I work.
This is a HUGE project, more than 6500 pages.
We're two technical writers on this project. (This is an inportant detail since my colleague doesn't get the problem).
I need your help because I have been having an annoying issue over the last couple of days.
After the project is generated, I open it in the software, clicking F1.
When I want to use the search function I have this error message displayed:
"Stack overflow at line: 1792" or "Stack overflow at line: 1788"
Do you know where this could come from?
Furthermore, I noticed that this stack overflow only occurs on some words.
I mean, it occurs for the most used words in this project.
We have customers all over the world and over the last week, we've been getting a lot of feedbacks about this error message.
I hope someone will be able to help me on this one!
Thanks in advance!

First of all, thanks for your answer RoboColum(n).
Is the problem only when you search for a topic that contains Flash output?
All my topics contain Flash outputs. I generate my output files on a folder that is embedded into the software.When in the software, I click F1 and the Flash User Guide opens.The search function works (or not) depending on the software version (32/64-bit).
At what point exactly does the stack overview occur?
We have two versions of the software a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version.
The search function works fine with the 32-bit version.
The problem occurs when I use the 64-bit version. When I type in a word, for example "unit", the stack overflow message appears. See below:
As you can see, it looks like the search function freezes while the stack overflow message appears.
And I never get this error message with the 32-bit version of our software.
I also wonder whether you can search on a project that contains no Flash output. Perhaps you could try for us?
What do you mean by that?
As I told you previously, my Flash Player version is a 32-bit one.
Do you think that the issue might come from there?

It may be that Spotlight hasn't completed indexing just yet - is there a dot (indicates busy) inside the magnifying icon top right?
Also, check System Preferences/Spotlight to see what if any exclusions are configured, etc.

Any search function for notes in iPhone

Hi, Apple Fans:
Does anybody knows how to search in "notes" section in iPhones? I really need the search function to look up the notes I jut down there.
Right now the notes are arranged by dates but no search function.
if it hasn't be invented, it should have.
BIgApple1980

Use the Spotlight search function on the phone. You activate this from the home screen by swiping downwards from the middle of the screen. All you need to do is make sure that you have Notes checked in the Spotlight search options in Settings. Go to Setting>General>Spotlight Search and make sure there is a checkmark by Notes.

Help needed: Search function for custom Repository Manager

Hi there,
i'm writing my own Repository Manager for EP 6.0 SP2 PL4.
I've serious problems getting the search function running. I'm using the 'new', Netweaver-based API.
I think, there are some general questions to answer:
- My Repository Manager exposes lots of custom
   properties to the system. I create the properties
   for example using following code:
   IProperty newProp = new StringSingleValueProperty(
     PropertyName.getPropertyName(
              "{}" + myAttName),
     myAttVal,                         PropertyFlags.constructFlags(
              true, false, true, false)
    Is there any convention for the propertie's name?
    I think it has to be written in lowercase only?
    Can I use ANY namespace I want instead of the
    empty default namespace? (For example:
- After indexing my resources (of course, containing my
   custom properties), the TREX-Monitoring screen for my
   index shows all my custom properties in the 'Document
   Properties' area, but all uppercase chars are escaped
   somewhat. Is this OK?
- Trying to use the index above to search for particular
   resources in my repository by my custom properties
   fails all the time ('no docs found...'); searching for
   any system property works fine. What's the reason?
- How can I force the (Property-) search uses my
   custom namespace-manager's methods
   isQueryPropertyNameUnderstood() and
   getQueryBuilder()
   to perform a 'pure' property search by the repository
   manager? It seems that the TREX always handles the
   queries by itself, because my methods are never called.
Thanx for you help,
Daniel

I created a new manager and copied the classes exactly from the "simple" example and I see similar behavior. Actually, when I do this, folders are recursively copied, but not files. Again, browsing and viewing of files work fine. Again, I am not seeing any unexpected exceptions.
The only thing that changed were the names and namespaces. Nothing else at all was changed.
This makes me think I am missing some configuration somewhere or there is something special about the example project that the wizards are not creating. The only difference I see in the project file is an additional nature (com.tssap.selena.cmf.PatternNature), but I am not sure that is relevant.
Wow, I am really stumped.

Search functionality in portal

Hi,
We are implementing SAP EP 7.0 for our customer...this portal is only for top level management which contain only BW(3.5) reports as iviews ...these iviews are developed using Visual Composer and some of them are standard business packages(like sales analysis,financial analysis etc)...Now our customer wants us to implement the "<b>search Functionality</b>" in the portal...where the user can search for the report iviews in the portal....
Can any one throw light on whether it is possible to implement the search functionality?...If yes what does it take for the developer to implement?...Any documents or links will be really thankful...
Thanks & Regards,
P.Navakanth.

The APIs for searching are reasonably well documented, but why not make use of the page personalization capabilities of the portal?
Cheers

Mountain Lion Mail Program Search Function.

I upgraded my 2nd Generation Air to Mountain Lion. The search function on my mail is not nearly as effective as it was before. I find myself searching on my IPhone or Ipad, then forwarding the mail to my email address so I can open it on my Air. I can't find it with the Search Mail function on the computer, but can find it easily with the other devices.
I've looked in settings and configuration, but can't see anything that would let me go to a different search function.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I 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.

Webform Page dropdown box search functionality

All,
We are on Planning 11.1.2.2.303.
Since we have a page dimension with over 1000 members (and the member names are a name followed by 19 numbers in length), the business owner really likes the "Like" search of the page dropdown in the webform. (He can type a string of any characters and it will narrow the the members displayed to those members with that string anywhere in the membername)
He really wants to use the forms that I have created for him in Smartview, problem is that the dropdown search functionality doesn't work the same. In Smartview it will follow you when you type the membername from the beginning, but it only highlights what you are typing if it matches a membername (and only the first one that matches), and it doesn't narrow the list of members in the dropdown box.
Does anyone know of a setting (in planning or windows) that will enable a "Like" search in the dropdown boxes in smartview?
TIA,
Robert

I think that would be an enhancement, maybe check the Smart View forum.
