"Search for today" in Mavericks

One issue prevents me from moving to mavericks. My current 10.6.8 has a "search for" option called "Today" (on the left margin of a finder window), which I find extremely useful. But this feature is missing in Mavericks. How can I have the "today" option with mavericks?

Missing "search for today" in finder 10.9.4

Hi, I just installed the new IOS 10.9.4. and it updated finder. I am missing the "search for" today, yesterday options. How can I get these back?

Finder smart folder: "Search for:Today" has changed

I noticed today that the smart folder has changed and now only seems to be showing applications and not files also.
I'm not sure what changed it initially, but to try to "fix" it, I went to the finder toolbar and selected "Action>Show Search Criteria". What should the default settings be for this folder as installed by Mac OSX Leopard?

The default criteria for Today and Yesterday, Apple's canned searches, are "Last Opened date is today" or "yesterday" plus "None of the following are true---Kind is Folders." If your are correct and aren't returning what you want, construct your own search that does what you want, then save it as a misnamed "Smart Folder"--be sure to check the box in the Save dialog to have it appear in the Sidebar.

After Mavericks upgrade Macbook wifi stops searching for networks

Ok here's the problem.
Upgraded from Mtn Lion to Mavericks.
I have 2 user accounts. One for personal and one for work.
Boot up - all is fine.   Switch from one user to the other the first time - all is fine.
But once I switch back to either user the problem appears.
What happens is that the computer stops searching for wifi networks. If I click on the wifi indicator the only one shown will be the one that I'm connected to. I am unable to select another network. (there are several others in range but not shown) The search indicator does not show up. If I click on Join another network and then on "select network" the dropdown box is empty and does not populate.
If I log out and log back in then the wifi will search and show the networks again (on that user account) If I swtich back to the other I would also need to log out and back in.   Logging in and out only resets the search function of the active user.
Bottom line is once I switch from either user to the other AND THEN BACK TO THE ORIGINAL both users will no longer have wifi search function until you log out and back in on either user.
I've reset SMC and PRAM. I've reinstalled Mavericks
I've contacted Apple for support and we've set up a new partition on the drive - installed Mavericks into that so it was like a brand new computer. I then created 2 users on that account and STILL have the same issue when I switch between accounts (users)
The Apple tech seems to think that we've eliminated software problems so it must be interference from nearby networks causing this. It seems odd that this happened imediatley after the switch to mavericks.   I am going to take my computer for a ride today and bring my MiFi along and see what happens.
Anyone having this issue?   Any thoughts?

I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. Any suggestions?

I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. The drive is not listed in Disk Utility. Any suggestions?

Is the computer in you equipment line:
Dual Core Intel Xenon
(which is not a PowerMac but a Mac Pro) the one you are asking about, or do you have an older PowerMac?
If a Mac Pro, their forums are here:
Mac Pro
and, as Mac Pros have a totally different architecture from the pre-2005 Macs this forum covers, you may not have the same issues that can affect the older models. If someone didn't notice your equipment line, you could get advice that doesn't apply.
If you really have a pre-2005 PowerMac, read on.
If the stubborn external is USB and does not have its own power brick (i.e., it gets power only from the computer's UBS ports--"bus powered"), it may not be getting enough power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power than when new, and the power available on any USB port is limited.
The typical workabouts to making a computer recognize an aging, bus-powered USB drive are:
Get a powered USB hub (has its own power brick
Get a "Y" USB cable: 1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
The second gets power from two USB ports on the computer and often that's enough.
Remember that the USB ports on your keyboard seldom provide enough power even for a thumb drive, so be sure to use the USB ports on the back of the computer.

When I upgraded to Lion the ability to search and look for "today" as a search parameter is gone. How do I get that back?

When I search for a document on my mac or want to add an attachment in mail I always used the defaults on the left to narrow down what I was looking at. it had the option for Today, this week, last week and not sure what else. now that I have upgraded to Lion that is gone and I need it back. Help.

In List View the center column will do that on a right click.

Saved search for Photo Stream not working in Mavericks

I have a saved search for JPGs in my photo stream so I can easily access them via Finder instead of iPhoto. In Mavericks my saved search no longer sees my latest photo stream iPhone pics. Anyone else notice this? I can see them in iPhoto though. I've tried re-doing the search, etc, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Oh man, I've been beating my head on the desk trying to fix this. The only clue I have is that photos taken from iOS 7 (vs iOS 6) devices after about a week ago (wasn't there an OS X update recently?) don't show up in finder the same. When you dig through the "sub" folder to find the long-named folders with the photostream files in them, hit command+i and check out the "More Info:" section. The recent ones don't have anything in them (see http://d.pr/i/WKzR). Furthermore if you drill down to one of those folders containing such an image (see: http://d.pr/i/nIUP) and try to create a saved search from there it won't show up (see: http://d.pr/i/FOri).
I even tried to create an automator to pull those images out, but when you're searching for a file in any of those new folders finder doesn't see anything.
Not an answer for ya, just more confusion. Let me know if you get any bright ideas.

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly? I used to search for a name and it would find it in All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,

Hey NicolasZen,
Thanks for the question and welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are experiencing issues with “No Service” or “Searching” on your iPhone. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting steps that you may wish to try:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4429
Your iPhone may have one of these symptoms:
- iPhone displays "No Service" or "Searching" in an area of good coverage
- iPhone doesn't regain service when returning to an area of coverage
Resolution
If you encounter either of the above symptoms on your iPhone, follow these steps to attempt to resolve the issue. Test after each step.
1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
2. Turn iPhone off and then on again.
3. Remove the SIM card and verify that it's a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it isn't damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
4. Check for a carrier-settings update. Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Then tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, iOS will ask you if you want to install it. If Wi-Fi isn't available, connect your device to iTunes.
5. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
6. Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
7. Restore the iPhone.
Thanks,
Matt M.

After upgrade to Mavericks mail is crashing when I try to search for an email in a mailbox

After upgrading to Mavericks, mail is crashing when I enter a sender name in the search box to search for emails from that person.

re index
search not working so well: Try this: Quit Mail > then > Move ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index to the desktop > Re-open mail and see if that fixed it

Messages - Searching for terms and finding multiple matches

In Messages, if I search for a term, and the term is matched multiple times within a conversation, how do I look at earlier matches? Right now it will only show me the most recent.

HI,
What I would like the Search to do is actually search all the chat I have ever had (I have saved one back to 2004 from iChat) so I could look for things people have sent me.
What I find is it will only search Open Chats.
Currently a Buddy I spoke to today show "history" only back as far as the Mavericks Update day due to the different places Mavericks keeps the Archived/Saved chats compared to Mountain Lion/Message 7.x.x. and iChat.
The particular Buddy does send my name on different days so I searched for that.
It tells me that it can find 6 instances.
It indicates one of these the first time you do it with a fresh word in the Search and only shows me the part of the Chat that occurred today.
As far as I can tell the highlighted IM (it was over the AIM service) is the last one with the occurring word in.
You now have to swap to the Edit Menu > Find > Find Next Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) + G
It seems this then work backwards in time.
