Searching contact names in Messages fails to return results

Hello,
A few ios7 issues..
Worst is searching in Messages returns no result for names requiring manually finding proper thread.
Also after some amount of time, iMessage hangs on sending & won't deliver any iMessages to any recipients until phone is reset via home button + top button press.
Thanks...

After realizing no one else had this issue, I just did a full restore through iTunes of my iOS and it fixed it. Back up on iCloud or iTunes first.

BUG in iOS7: Post iOS7 upgrade, search option does not work for "Messages". If you want to search a contact name in Messages who is way below the list, the search will not yield any result.

How to search contact names only

Hello! I have quite a bit of a problem. I get in contact with a lot of people and have over 500 contacts. Now for each contact I usually copy and paste emails or whatever and add it into the notes section under each contact. Now when I try to search for something in the contacts APP, for example, if I type John Doe,
everything would be searched, even all the John Doe in the notes field would be search also. So emails would show up ([email protected]) instead of the actual contact name itself. So it causes a bit of problem scrolling through all these search just to find a contact number/email. Any way to limit the search to only the contact names and nothing else?

Hi --
It's all a moot point now. I just selected All Photos, put the Broswer into full window grid view, set the thumb size very small, and started scrolling down -- stopping whenever I saw the distinctive Stack patch.
The reason for all this was to do a final clean up of some lingering Rotated vs. Non-Rotated duplicates which were still in my iPhoto Libraries before I imported them into my new Aperture Library. In Aperture, they became Stacks in which one image was Keyworded as an "iPhoto Original" and the other as an "iPhoto Edited".
But now I have a new Search question which perhaps you might have a suggestion for. The thread is at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1771699&tstart=0

New 4S won't recognize contact names for messages

I just got the new 4S iPhone (woohoo!). Everything synced to this new phone, including my contacts. However, it's doing this strange thing with the texts -- its not recognizing the phone numbers with my contacts. So, although I have the number stored under someone's name in my phone, the text is only showing the phone number .... What can I do to change this???
I even tried saying these text messages under the contacts name, but it still won't do anything.

I recently updated over the air to ios 5.1 over the air on my iphone. Now when I send texts to other iphone users, it is showing my old apple id as my identification on their iphones...instead of my name/mobile number shown in their contacts. I recently updated my apple id to a new email address because I changed carriers. Accessing itunes store with new apple id works fine.
So I send a text to my friend and he sees "[email protected]" instead of my name which is in his contacts. The same thing happens with other people with iphones. I have VW as my carrier. If I send texts to non iphone users, they show my name as listed in their contacts. So definitely an iphone to iphone issue.
I tried reprogramming the phone using *228 with VW and pressing 1. It hasn't helped. It also went back to normal for a day so I thought it was fixed, but is happening again now.
This is so frustrating. My iphone friends don't know who I am when I text them so they aren't responding!!!!

Windows 8.1 x64 Smart Search Outlook and OneNote 2013(x32) not returning results

Is the 8.1 Smart Search([windows-key]-type) supposed to return results from Outlook and/or OneNote?
I am using Exchange Cached mode for Outlook if that matters.
I have done the following to try and get results to show up:
control panel...Indexing Options...Advanced...File Types...Index Properties and File Contents
used indexing troubleshooter which found no problems
control panel...Indexing Options...Advanced...Rebuild...
used scanpst to scan my ost and make repairs.
checked and unchecked Outlook and OneNote within index properties
tried to go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\username.ost properties...advanced...checked allow this file to have contents indexed. Except the next time i start outlook the check mark goes away.
verified .pst , .ost and .pst files are all in the index service...file types... list
Search within Outlook itself works just fine and quickly, but i would like to be able to search from the "Smart Search". File name search is flawless.
If it isn't supported, why is it in the indexing options that clearly work for smart search settings because I also added a location for searching where file names search works just fine(although it does seem the contents of excel/word files are
not being indexed, but the index might still be rebuilding)
Any help would keep some hair on my head.
Thanks

Hi,
It seems that the smart search can't search the content in outlook and OneNote.
blogs.technet.com/b/daanish/archive/2014/03/19/windows-8-101-smart-search.aspx
The reason why Outlook and OneNote appears in the Index option tab is that Outlook and OneNote need the Windows search to help index the content in Outlook and OneNote, if we remote the outlook and onenote from Index Option tab, the search function in the
Outlook and OneNote may not works.
Also, smart search main focus on Settings , files, web Images, web Videos which we can select above the search box. Another reason we suspect the design for this is the consideration for security, if we can search the emails in the smart search, that
maybe some programs can access the content in Outlook and OneNote without authentication .
Hope the information above help.
Best Regards,
Jason Zeng

Job log - Failed to display result

Hello,
We have a problem displaying job logs, the message 'Failed to display result' appears when we try to display the log.
The jobs have run last week.
Any idea where I can have a look to find out what's going wrong?
Thanks in advance,

In fact, I just found out that we zip the job logs, and I just need to unzip them to be able to access the log.

RAR Risk Analysis Issue in Background Mode - "Failed to Display Result"

Hi,
I have strange problem in RAR.
When I run risk analysis for 20 users in background mode, the job got successful but the spool file is empty. But at the bottom of page there is a message: "Failed to Display Result".
The Job log is showing the following message couple of times:
WARNING: ./virsa/bgJobSpool/19.i (No such file or directory)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./virsa/bgJobSpool/19.i (No such file or directory)

But When I try to run for few users (like 6 memebrs where selection criteria is AUDIT*) in same way, the spool details got displayed this time. But the log is showing strange error messages this time:

Any ideas please?

Hi Alpesh,
You are correct. The issue is due to multi node environment.
But when I tried to define a custom spool folder path: usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance No>/log/virsa/bgJobSpool (in RAR - Miscellaneous - spool files location for background jobs) & run the risk analysis report in background mode, still RAR is saving the spool files in default location only.
Can you suggest me if I am wrongly defining the location of folder?
Should we define the complete location of the folder i.e starting with drive letter or path starting with user/* is sufficient?

Why if I have created a seperate icloud account for my daughter and I, do I still end up with all her contacts? Also, numbers i have edited or changed?deleted pop up when searching by name to create a new message, WHY?

Help! I have created seperate icloud accounts for my kids devices and mine. My daughters contacts and mine keep merging anyways. If I turn contacts off and then back on on my phone in icloud, I get duplicates. Now I have triplicates!! I've double chcked that we are both logged in to our own accounts. How do I stop this, its gonna be a lot of editing out duplicate/triplicate contacts in my list. NOT HAPPY!! Another problem....When I go to create a new message and search by name, all numbers, including those I have changed because the person got a new number, will show up. Why is that happenning if I have deleted or changed them? I end up not knowing what number to use. It's extremely frustrating!!

When you turn contacts to off in Settings>iCloud, you should be choosing Delete from My iPhone when prompted, as they will be synced back to your phone when your turn contacts back to on. If you are choosing Keep on My iPhone, turning contacts back to on in Settings>iCloud, then choosing Merge when prompted, you are merging a second (or third) copy of your contacts with your account each time you do.
The autocomplete suggestions you get when you create a new message, compose a text message, or perform a spotlight search, are stored in cache memory. Once in cache memory, it remains on the device even if the corresponding contact is later deleted. Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to flush this cashe is to restore your device as a new iPhone without using your backup. Perhaps this will change in a future iOS release.

IPhone not showing contacts names in text messaging after sync AND reset

Three days ago, I bought the iPhone 4S as an updgrade from the 3GS. I also transferred my wireless service plan from AT&T to Verizon. Since doing that, very strange things are happening. For example, my contacts appeared to transfer without a problem, but whenever I attempt a call to a number that does not have a "1" stored in front of it, it tells me that I am attempting a long-distance or international call and the call won't go thru unless I place a 1 in front of the number and store it that way. Also, whenever I send text messages and someone replies, their message comes back to my phone under the phone number only and not the name that is stored in my contacts. This happens even when the contact sends a direct message to me that is not a reply. (Imagine all the "Merry Christmas" messages I received yesterday that I have no idea who they were from, except the 5 out of 300 contacts whose numbers I have memorized!!) I have gone to the Apple Store and the "Genius" there reset my phone, which temporarily fixed the problem, but now it is back. I did a soft reset, now it randomly selects which names will show up in my text message window. (For example, yesterday, the name "Jane" shows a message that says "Merry Christmas", but after the reset, only Jane's number shows up in the text screen with the same message from yesterday.)
Does anyone know what in the world is going on?? This is Very Annoying! I'm tempted to go back to AT&T, as I am being told that the iphone technology, even for 4S, is not as compatible on Verizon as it is with AT&T. Please help!

Not sure about the random contact name problem. I suspect a bad database. Use iTunes to delete and replace your contacts with a good list. If that doesn't work, do a 100% software reset and don't restore a backup, setup as a new device. Finally, if that fails go back to the apple store. The issue is not software fixable and the unit should be replaced.
The other issue with 1 dialing required... are you roaming? Disable wifi, should say Verizon 3G in the status bar.
When you are off your home area cell network, you are not dealing with Verizon directly.
Edit: your last question about using a Verizon 4S on AT&T's network. You are correct, out of the box the Verizon 4S is locked to only work on Verizon's network. The AT&T 4S and Sprint 4S have the same locks. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone directly from apple. I've also heard of people convincing Sprint customer service to unlock their phones for use out of the country,

My Iphone 5 updated to IOS 6.2 and now my contact names do not show on incomming calls or text messages. All i can see is the number of the person calling. how can i fix this?? please help

I updated my iphone software to IOS 6.2 yesterday and im not sure if it is a coincidence but now, my contact names do not show on incomming calls or messages. Also they do not show on past calls or recent history.
All my contacts in my phonebook still exist and are correct, the problem only occurs when receiving calls or messages. please help i need this fixing
Regards,
Frosty

Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
try this:
open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
let me know if succeeded!

Error message when opening Outlook: The operation failed. The messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.

In an Exchange 2010 server/Outlook 2013 environment, one of our users is getting an error message every time they start Outlook. The error message says: "The operation failed. The messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem

The system is as follows:
Size of .pst file: 2.3 GB (Unicode format so there should be plenty of space left)
OS: Windows 7 (64-Bit)
Application: Outlook 2013 (32-Bit)
The user upgraded from Outlook 2010 a few months ago and the error message has only recently started appearing on startup. I thought it was a corrupt mail profile, so I have already tried creating a new mail profile, as well as the repairing tool in Outlook.
I even tested another email account and that worked just fine. So apparently it is something wrong with the specific user's account/profile and not something wrong with the computer - since my email account worked fine on his computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same error message, only in my situation Outlook would only open successfully every 4 or 5 attempts. When Outlook would open (versus just hanging at the splash screen), I would get two dialog boxes with the warning/error message.
After I clicked okay I could get into Outlook.
Previously I experienced this problem running my Office 2010 client with my Exchange 2007 mailbox on my old laptop. The problem followed my mailbox through an Exchange 2010 migration (so new Exchange org), client upgrade to Outlook 2013, and a new
laptop (so I knew it wasn't a corrupt profile). This led me to the conclusion that it was a corrupt item(s) in my mailbox.
To resolve the issue, I archived *everything* in my mailbox to a PST file, ran SCANPST to fix the corruption, and then uploaded everything back into my Exchange mailbox one folder at a time, stopping after each folder to close and restart Outlook so I could
narrow down which folder had the corrupt item if the problem recurred. I'm happy to say my issue is now resolved.

Issue about BI JAVA SDK-SOAP request failed with return message 2147483653

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to use BI JAVA SDK to connect BW by using XMLA connector.
But there's an error messaet said :
SOAP request failed with return message 2147483653 ( Invalid MDX command with INCLUDING)
I'm really new to this JAVA SDK, and after searching help in SAP Service Market and Google, there's no helpful suggestion.
please help me about how to fix this error.
Here is my code:
IBIConnection connection = (IBIConnection) cf.getConnectionEx(cs);
      IBIOlap olap = connection.getOlap();
      Cube cube = olap.getObjectFinder().
      findCubeFirst((String)null, "ZFI_C11/ZFI_C11_Q001");
    // This is just a sanity check to verify that the
    // cube on which this example relies was retrieved
    if (cube==null){
        System.out.println("no cube found");
// Didn't print out this message, seems it can connect to BW and get the InfoCube and Query.
    Dimension plantDimension = olap.getObjectFinder().
    findDimensionFirst(cube, "ZPLANT");
Dimension materialDimension = olap.getObjectFinder().
    findDimensionFirst(cube, "ZMATERIAL");
IBIQuery query = olap.createQuery(cube);
IBICommandProcessor commandProcessor = query.getCommandProcessor();
commandProcessor.moveDimensionToRows(plantDimension);
commandProcessor.moveDimensionToRows(materialDimension);
IBIDataSet dataset = query.execute(); // After execute this statement, error happens.
Thank you!
Andy

Solved myself, it's because the query used in my code have user input variable.

Search Contacts & Directory fails

End users using OWA on Exchange 2013 CU5. Doesn't matter what browser or any other client-side information. I can give myself delegate access to various mailboxes and come up with the same error.
They compose a new message. Type the name in the To.. field and the application pops the drop-down with the magnifying glass that reads "Search Contacts & Directory". When you click, it states in the same box "Can't connect. Please
try again later."
Troubleshooting steps, thus far:
Recycle OWA Application Pools.
Recycle ECP Application Pools.
Recycle OAB Application Pools (yes, I know, this is for Outlook only).
Restart all CAS servers.
Nothing works. Has anyone else seen this and found a fix for it? It has to be something simple that I am missing.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify if the email address you search can be listed in Default Global Address List.
Open EAC -> organization -> address lists -> Default Global Address List

Searching in text by contact name

Before iOS6, I could search by contact name within the text messages area and it would sift through my long list of text messages to bring up the contact name that I had texted with. Now it appears that Apple is not allowing the contact name to be included in the search criteria, because when I type in someone's name to search for the last thread of texts with them, if there first name is not in one of the text messages, it brings NOTHING up. Apple please fix this like it was before. Allow the full name of the person (contact in your address book) to be automatically among the search criteria when you search through text messages.
Thanks,
DN

It seems you have not synced the contacts to OVI Suite.. Connect the phone to PC.. Open OVI Suite..Sync-->Sync Now-->Contacts..
Check the Messages after the sync is over..
