Searching in System Preferences has stopped working
A few days ago I noticed that I couldn't search within System Preferences. I can type in the search box, but no autocomplete results are shown and no icons are highlighted. Searching is basically useless:
It was working before, so it must be something that I did. There has been another thread about the problem before, with no solution. Nothing else comes up in Google either. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might have caused this?
I wouldn’t say the problem is in Mavericks, the other thread I found on it is from 2009. I’m surprised how rare this issue is – seems like something that should have an easy fix.

I bought this printer a month ago and about a week ago I started getting the error“HPCP1020SM.exe (64 bit) has stopped working.” then click close then“HP system tray has stopped working.” appears click close. the printer will still print but these errors continue to come up every time I print. I called HP support but they have no clue. Thanks for who ever can help.
Hi Have you tried installing the basic driver, and the basic driver update to see if you have the same issue? Let me know if you have the same issue using the basic driver. Can you also provide me a screenshot of the error message you are receiving?

System preferences froze, stopped working
I was changing my wallpaper picture and the System Preferences just stopped working, I can't do anything in it now! How can I solve this problem?
Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item. -
Searching within System Preferences no longer works
Hi all, the search box in system preferences used to highlight relevant icons to my search. now however it dims as if about to show a spotlight but it never appears, it undims when i delete the search term. have tried obvious searches such as "volume", "keyboard" etc... to verify.
have a feeling its been a while as have had some fruitless searches over some time but just assumed it was me searching for the wrong thing...
any ideas? does yours work? cheershmm i set up a new user account and it works fine in this, disk utility repaired some permissions (although it showed several which "would not be fixed"!)
any suggestions? back in main account and system preferences search isnt working -
ITunes has stopped working - iTunes 12.1
I just updated iTunes 12 to 12.1 on two Windows 7 x64 systems. On both systems, iTunes fails to run now although 12.0 ran perfectly.
Upon clicking on the iTunes program icon, I get a dialog:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
This is followed by a second Windows crash dialog on my first system:

None of these failures ever occurred previously with my configurations (including 12.0) with iTunes. And no, the video compatibility version (64-bit installer with 32-bit payload) doesn't fix these problems either. And I cannot find any copy of the 12.0 version to revert to!!!
Clearly this update wasn't sufficiently tested before being released. Help!!!!
- DovFor general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I keep getting the following message whenever I boot the system:
"TosBtMng has stopped working" - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

I have a Satellite with Vista 32 bit and the Toshiba Bluetooth stack. I only use it with my Nokia phone and it has never worked very well. - But it HAS worked.
A few weeks back, it stopped working alltogether and I decided to check for an upgrade on Toshiba's site. I've found "Bluetooth Stack-6.10.10" which supposedly is the most current.
I have removed the complete directory and even used regedit to remove all keys pointing to the dir, before rebooting and installing from scratch with no luck.
The PC was originally delivered with several languages, but I have chosen to install the English version of Vista. For some reason, the bluetooth stack insists on installing in Danish (and there is no way to change that). I have a feeling that this is at least part of the reason for the problem.
Since the problem suddenly occured. At one time, I had some kind of a loop with 20+ active TosBtMng.exe icons in the system tray. Every time I start it I get the following:

Satellite 1130-Z24,system has stopped working altogether
Hi
My system has stopped working altogether, since it was dropped, only from a small distance though. When connected to AC power, the light work, so I suspect power is getting to it, and I suspect I have damaged either the motherboard or power supply, but I am hoping something simple. Has anybody any manuals showing how to dismantle the satellite 1130, or any other suggestions.
Kind Rgrds
ChrisHello Chris
Unfortunately there is no official document how to disassemble/assemble your Satellite. In my opinion the best solution is to contact service partner in your country.
I am pretty sure that they can help you. Who knows which hardware part is damaged.
Good luck! -
iTunes64Setup.exe, even after multiple times of uninstalling and reinstalling with even a fresh download crashes with the message:
"iTunes has stopped working. A problem [unspecified] caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you IF a solution is available." I cannot get out of this loop and it renders my iPad HD useless. I tried calling the Apple Store but was referred by an automated system to this web site. I tried looking up the problem in the FAQ but it didn't help.
merylewHi there Nok Saensanoh,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

The App Store search has stopped working since I updated to 8.2 on iPad
Hi
since I updated my software to 8.2 on my iPad the App Store search has stopped working but other features work on the App Store only the search option is not responding and says " the App Store is temporary unavailable please try again later "
I have turned my iPad off and on couple of times but with the same result each time.
the 8.2 update is for the new Apple watch and health app.
can any one help?Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?
Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
sudo mdutil -E /
sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return. -

Did you end up finding a solution to this issue? The GUI and silent/command line installer are failing for me in the same spot.
