Searching for books in the bookstore
Is it possible to configure the iBooks with some keywords on the apple book store? Currently they do not show up in search results when some specific keyword searches are used. Or would I have to make sure these keywords appear in the books description for the books to appear?

I said to 'focus' on those areas. If there was no consequence to what the descriptions say, there would be no point in having them.
Well, the OP was about keywords for search results and, as far as I can tell, the description has no influence on search in the store. It seems that only title, subtitle, and author are considered in a search.
If you feel the process is flawed, feel free to send feedback, etc.
Search is currently very limited in the store, compared to other distributors, such as Amazon. In fact, every time I use the store, I find that the experience is really clunky in comparison.
As well, look into Chomp - it's coming online in the store now.
It would be good if the store had smarter search technology. Right now, I don't believe it's being used for books.

I can't search for book or authors in ibooks. When I search an author or book and click on it a message that says not results found comes up. Even if I try to look up something popular like Dracula or Twilight. Is there some setting I should have clicked? It won't find or download any books at all anymore. This started about a month ago. I have been using my Kindle app instead.
Hi laurieg23,
I see that you are having issues with your connection to the iBooks Store. Here is an article with some troubleshooting steps that will be relevant to your issue, even though the article was written for issues with the iTunes Store:
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

Is there a way to search for events in the past? If not, is there another calendar application with this feature that would be able to sync with my iPod Touch? This feature is one that I must have. I apologize if I come off as whining but my Palm calendar/address book was able to do this.
ThxHi helenhopelouise,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The search feature within the Calendar app should show all events, past and present. First, check to see if you are syncing All Events in your Calendar app. Tap on the Settings app on your Home Screen. Then choose Mail, Contacts Calendars. Scroll down to the Calendar section to see your options.
Next, try the "Spotlight Search" of all of the data on your iPhone to see if the calendar event you are looking for appears.
Finally, try quitting all of your open apps and restarting and/or resetting your iPhone.

Click the round flag icon bottom right corner of the App Store window. In the next window select United States.
For purchases, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?
Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again! -
Hi,
The following code works perfectly for me and give me a list of users for a specific OU and their respective logon types :-
$logFile = 'c:\test\test.txt'
$_myOU = "OU=ABC,dc=contosso,DC=com"
# LogonType as per technet
$_logontype = @{
2 = "Interactive"
3 = "Network"
4 = "Batch"
5 = "Service"
7 = "Unlock"
8 = "NetworkCleartext"
9 = "NewCredentials"
10 = "RemoteInteractive"
11 = "CachedInteractive"
Get-WinEvent -FilterXml "<QueryList><Query Id=""0"" Path=""Security""><Select Path=""Security"">*[System[(EventID=4624)]]</Select><Suppress Path=""Security"">*[EventData[Data[@Name=""SubjectLogonId""]=""0x0""
or Data[@Name=""TargetDomainName""]=""NT AUTHORITY"" or Data[@Name=""TargetDomainName""]=""Window Manager""]]</Suppress></Query></QueryList>" -ComputerName
"XYZ" | ForEach-Object {
#TargetUserSid
$_cur_OU = ([ADSI]"LDAP://<SID=$(($_.Properties[4]).Value.Value)>").distinguishedName
If ( $_cur_OU -like "*$_myOU" ) {
$_cur_OU
#LogonType
$_logontype[ [int] $_.Properties[8].Value ]
#Time-created
$_.TimeCreated
$_.Properties[18].Value
} >> $logFile
I am able to pipe the results to a file however, I would like to convert it to CSV/HTML When i try "convertto-HTML"
function it converts certain values . Also,
a) I would like to remove duplicate entries when the script runs only for that execution.
b) When the script is run, we may be able to search for records after the last run and not search in the same
records that we have looked into before.
PLEASE HELP !If you just want to look for the new events since the last run, I suggest to record the EventRecordID of the last event you parsed and use it as a reference in your filter. For example:
<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Security">
<Select Path="Security">*[System[(EventID=4624 and
EventRecordID>46452302)]]</Select>
<Suppress Path="Security">*[EventData[Data[@Name="SubjectLogonId"]="0x0" or Data[@Name="TargetDomainName"]="NT AUTHORITY" or Data[@Name="TargetDomainName"]="Window Manager"]]</Suppress>
</Query>
</QueryList>
That's this logic that the Server Manager of Windows Serve 2012 is using to save time, CPU and bandwidth. The problem is how to get that number and provide it to your next run. You can store in a file and read it at the beginning. If not found, you
can go through the all event list.
Let's say you store it in a simple text file, ref.txt
1234
At the beginning just read it.
Try {
$_intMyRef = [int] (Get-Content .\ref.txt)
Catch {
Write-Host "The reference EventRecordID cannot be found." -ForegroundColor Red
$_intMyRef = 0
This is very lazy check. You can do a proper parsing etc... That's a quick dirty way. If I can read
it and parse it as an integer, I use it. Else, I just set it to 0 meaning I'll collect all info.
Then include it in your filter. You Get-WinEvent becomes:
Get-WinEvent -FilterXml "<QueryList><Query Id=""0"" Path=""Security""><Select Path=""Security"">*[System[(EventID=4624 and EventRecordID>$_intMyRef)]]</Select><Suppress Path=""Security"">*[EventData[Data[@Name=""SubjectLogonId""]=""0x0"" or Data[@Name=""TargetDomainName""]=""NT AUTHORITY"" or Data[@Name=""TargetDomainName""]=""Window Manager""]]</Suppress></Query></QueryList>"
At the end of your script, store the last value you got into your ref.txt file. So you can for example get that info in the loop. Like:
$Result += $LogonRecord
$_intLastId = $Event.RecordId
And at the end:
Write-Output $_intLastId | Out-File .\ref.txt
Then next time you run it, it is just scanning the delta. Note that I prefer this versus the date filter in case of the machine wasn't active for long or in case of time sync issue which can sometimes mess up with the date based filters.
If you want to go for a date filtering, do it at the Get-WinEvent level, not in the Where-Object. If the query is local, it doesn't change much. But in remote system, it does the filter on the remote side therefore you're saving time and resources on your
side. So for example for the last 30 days, and if you want to use the XMLFilter parameter, you can use:
<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Security">
<Select Path="Security">*[System[TimeCreated[timediff(@SystemTime) <= 2592000000]]]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>
Then you can combine it, etc...
PS, I used the confusing underscores because I like it ;)

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, JackHi Jack, great help so far!

Mac mini Server 10.6 unable to search for files on the server from desktop.
I'm running Mac mini Server 10.6 with 15 various Apple Mac desktops 10.4 / 10.6. The problem i'm having is that i'm unable to search for files on the server from any of the desktops. I have fixed permissions and rebooted. I can perfomr a search though command - F and spotlight from the server.
Anyone have any ideas?I have a Mac mini server with Mac osx 10.6.8 installed --- I have a website {UNDER CONSTRUCTION} installed on it with a REGISTERED DOMAIN NAME belizeansworldwide.com -->[DNS service w/GoDaddy] & DSL INTERNET service w/VERIZON --- {My server is the ONLY DEVICE CONNECTED to my VERIZON DSL router/modem}
When I enter my DOMAIN NAME or WAN IP # in my browser(s)--> Chrome OR Safari -- i get my Verizon modem
set-up page-->{this incl the WAN IP# as I expected}----{NORMALLY I WOULD ACCESS MY Actiontec
modem/router via 192.168.1.1} --- While in that webpage there's an option "shared files/folders" & clicking on that option DISPLAYS MY WEBSITE ---> {"PORT FORWARDING DID NOT RESOLVE THAT"}
My next attempt @ a solution was through my Server's SystemPreference>Sharing>Internet Sharing
& this the Original Object of my post ===> "MY SHARING PANEL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE OPTION
FOR 'Internet Sharing' among the others like CD DVD, Remote Login,Remote Management, Bluetooth Sharing, etc.etc ---- Hope this additional info will help to clarify &/or explain my problem
Thanks, & best regards to you & yours -

When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?
Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
IF that does not work -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Finally - if problem still present -
Go to Settings>General>Reset
Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network -
I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?
Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

MDM: Search for images in the dialog window "Select Multiple Images"
Hi,
are there possibilities to search for images in the dialog window "Select Multiple Images" (if you want to add a image to a record)?
I know the possibilities to sort the images and the possibilities with the data groups. But I don't know a possibilities to search for a single image.
Thanks for any help!
Best regards, MelanieHi,
From the question you asked; its not much clear what your clear requirement is; but if its what i get then the solution is:
How is that you want to select the image? With Image view or By viewing the image itself ? For it when u select "Select Multiple Images" you can find two as "Available Images" and "Selected Images" and in between u can find some buttons, after "All, Add, Remove and None" you can find two buttons "Thumb Nail" and "view Details". I think you can use these buttons for your solution.
When you select "Thumb Nail" button you can see the image in real and select the image. OR you can select "View Details" and check the file name or path or the requirement as required.
