Smart folder not working correctly

Hi @all,
I've created a search back when I was using Mountain Lion to copy my Photostream Pictures in specific folder. So I navigated to ~/library/application support/iLifeassetmanagement/assets/sub created and saved a search which will find all files from type "images". For easier access to the folder/search I've put it into my sidebar.
Unfortunately the search isn't working since I've upgraded to Mavericks. First I thought it is a Photostream issue, so I've deactivated and reactivated Photostream in system preferences. And wow, search is working just fine...I thought. The pictures I've taken for testing are present in the search folder. But then once again, no more additional pictures were updatet in he search folder.
So I recreated the search. But nothing changed. Search doesn't find anything, but all pictures taken with my iPhone are copied automatically into a subfolder of ~library/application support/iLifeassetmanagement/assets/sub over photostream. I've double-checked that by clicking through all subfolders and compare the included pictures with the pictures on my iPhone. Once again I've deactivated Photostream in system preferences and reactivated it. Once again it only worked once for the existing pictures. No additional pictures are added to the search.
I did some Internet research an someone mentioned that it could be a spotlight issue. So I've deactivated spotlight in the system preferences for Macintosh HD and reactivated it to force spotlight to build a new index. Then the search is working again once, but any new pictures will not be added although the pictures are within a subfolder of ...assests/sub
With Apperture I can also access all pictures, but no chance over the search I've defined.
Any suggestions or solutions for the above behaviour? I'm running out of ideas...
Thank you in advance.

C, sorry…I read your posts out of order. I see that you have links to your smart groups after all. My apologies.
It's as you say, the course pages load up, but I don't see anything in the smart groups. Just thinking out loud here…maybe the search criteria don't genuinely match anything on your site? Perhaps there are actual matches, but you've hidden content with a new credential?…I accessed both pages using the "Unauthenticated" and "All" credentials. My last/craziest guess is that it has something to do with localization…français versus anglais?

Some smart playlists not working correctly

I have a smart playlist, "100 Most Played" that contains, as you might infer, the 100 most played songs (according to play count). On the iPhone, this seems to come out as 100 random songs because it does not correspond to the playlist as it appears in iTunes.
iPhone 8GB

agreed. i'm having the same problem, and am also surprised by it.
DOESN'T WORK:
"Top 25" - should be easy. all the songs that the iPhone needs for this smart playlist are, yes, synced to the iPhone. but it picks a set of songs that have nothing in common as far as i can see (they have different ratings and add dates and so on).
WORK CORRECTLY:
"80s/Good" - an alphabetical list of songs with the genre "80s". this works and appears in the right order.
"New" - shows new additions to iTunes, sorted by date added. works correctly.
WEIRDEST:
"Forgotten/Best" - is a playlist for showing 5-star songs not played recently. has always worked on iTunes. oddly, on the iPhone, the song list is actually the song list for the "Top 25" ?!?!!? i mean, it -is- the Top 25 playlist, but with the wrong name somehow. it's very confusing.
waiting for a software update =)

hi there,
that error message sounds like you placed a shared folder within a parent folder that is not shared. It also can help to boot into Recovery Mode (pressing Command and R simultanously when hearing the startup tune), launch Disk Utility, select the disk containing your OSX installation (usually named Macintosh HD) and choose Verify Disk Permissions. Should any problems be reported select Repair Disk Permissions. Once that is finished, reboot normally.
Though unlikely, it might have happened during all the folder removing and readding that some Permissions are out of sync. So checking these Permissions is merely a precaution
Once you are back in "normal" OSX using your admin account, try this:
Open Terminal from the Utilites folder
enter the following commands one line at a time:
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family/Movies
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family/Mom
chown -R <placeholder> /Users/Shared/Family
chmod -R 755 /Users/Shared/Family
Be sure to replace <placeholder> with your account's short name (no brackets!)
Now open System Preferences and select Sharing
Select File Sharing from the left pane
Click on the little plus and add /Users/Shared/Family to your shares (The subfolders are automatically included)
in the right most pane check the access privileges. They are set, so that you can read and write to those folders, while everyone else can only read. If you want everybody to have read and write privileges, use 777 instead of 755 within the terminal last command.
Now the other computers should be able to see and use the shared folder you just created.
If you create individual user accounts on your machine for every family member you want to access the shared folders, you can choose far more sophisticated levels of access privileges.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Smart mailbox not working correctly

I just created a new Smart Mailbox (I have others that work fine) and the criteria I put in was not what I needed and so I edited it. After closing out my mail and then reopening it, my Smart Mailbox had reverted to the old criteria and showed no messages again. After doing this several times, I deleted the mailbox entirely and then recreated a new one with a different name. All was working fine UNTIL I closed my mail and the next time I opened it, it had reverted to the old Name and criteria and was not giving me any mail again b/c the criteria was wrong. Can anyone help?? I am OS X - Yosemite.

David needs to get extra points for slipping in the Princess Bride reference.
As he points out, this smart mailbox rule should exclude all messages not from THIS calendar year--2007. If you want all messages older than one year, do date received is not in the last 12 months, and it should give you what you want.

Smart Tunnel not working correctly

I have setup Smart Tunnelling on an ASA5505.
Situation is PC ---> Proxy [bluecoat] ---> Internet ---> ASA
I can connect to the front end clientless VPN side ok and I then click on start smart tunnelling. It starts up (at least it says so) but when I access one of the programs in the list (mstsc.exe) the [Tunnel] traffic does not go via the Proxy but tries to go direct instead. Wireshark shows traffic being sent to the ASA VPN IP instead of via the proxy (trace is filtered to ASA subnet). Although encrypted the trace only shows traffic when I start a connection from mstsc.exe.
ASA version is 8.4(3), Java is build 1.6.0_26-b03
Any tips on what maybe going on?

Automatic proxy setting or manual? Manual is supported.

Smart Mailbox not working correctly based on received date

I setup a smart mailbox with the condition:
Date Received is not in the last 1 year
I get plenty of messages where the date received was within the last year. Anyone know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Roy

Smart Playlists not working correctly

Is anyone else able to reproduce this fault?
I have added a smart playlist simply called music... with the options set as follows:
Match (checked) ANY of the following rules...
Genre is not Podcast
Genre is not Lecture
Live Updating is also checked...
However, podcasts and my audio lectures are both appearing in this playlist... any ideas?

Match (checked) ANY of the following rules...
Genre is not Podcast
Genre is not Lecture
Live Updating is also checked...
This will match all songs. Because a song can be a podcast and still match the "Genre is not Lecture" rule.
Change it to "Match ALL" of those rules instead, and you'll get the results you want.

Smart Group not working Correctly

I use Plaxo to sync my Outlook (exchange) to my Address Book. My Outlook hits my blackberry, so I am going to Omit members of the group "Old".
I can add members to the group Old with no problem. It currently has 99 of my 800 contacts. I created a Smart Group that says to Not include cards that belong to Old. When I click on this list, it shows only 95 contacts, which should be much more. I deleted the addressbook-v22.abcddb file and restarted Address Book and it showed several more groups.
My Non Old Smart group is not very smart today.

Search in Smart Folder not working

On my Desktop I have a folder of named pictures. Today the Search returns no results. What has happened?

Renaming the folder from the longstanding "picture_bank" to "picturebank" seems to have worked. Why?

Smart Folder stopped working

When I first installed Tiger, I created a Smart Folder to display all the Presentations on my Powerbook. A simple "Kind: Presentations" Smart Folder did the job perfectly, displaying all Keynote and PowerPoint presentations.
Recently, this Smart Folder stopped working properly - only giving 4 or 5 results instead of the 50-or-so it returned previously. Using Spotless, I completely rebuilt the Spotlight index.
Now, my Smart Folder only displays Apple Keynote documents - no PowerPoint presentations.
Has Apple redefined the results "Kind: Presentations" returns, so as only to return Keynote results? Or is something wrong here?
(Edited to add: A Spotlight "Kind:Presentations" returns both PowerPoint and Keynote files, but not a Smart Folder!)

I've seen people complaining about Word docs not getting classified correctly, it seems to be a result of something odd with the new MicroSoft Office mdimporter. It wouldn't surprise me at all that the peculiarity extends to presentations as well. See this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1175366&#1175366
You might try this:
Bring up a new Find window, in the criteria drop down window select Other, then in the dialog box select Raw Query. In the Raw Query field paste in this:
(kMDItemContentTypeTree = 'public.presentation')
and see if it pulls up the PowerPoint presentations. If so save it as a Smart Folder. If the MS mdimporter has been revised so that it isn't passing correct information to the Spotlight database this may not work. But it is worth a shot.

Sleep not working correctly

Since updating my Late 2010 iMac to Moutain Lion the sleep function does not work correctly. They system keep waking up for no reason. The monitor comes comes day or night. I cannot figure out a fix or work around. Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Safari hierarchical menus not working correctly

Hello all,
I'm having a problem with Safari's hierarchical menus not working correctly. They pop out in odd positions, and--worst of all--the big ones (for folders that contain lots of bookmarks) pop out right on top of the main bookmarks menu, making it all but impossible to navigate that main menu. I've tried all the usual tricks: log out/restart the system, restart Safari, reset Safari, boot in safe boot mode, repair permissions, yank Safari's bookmarks prefs file, even reinstall Safari, and nothing worked. I've also noticed the same behavior in Camino. My system hierarchical menus work fine, though, so I'm thinking I have a corrupt prefs file somewhere. I'm using Safari 4.04 with no extra plugins beyond what come with it on 10.5.8. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix this?

AFAIK, the submenu will pop on either side, depending on available space and if there are further subfolders, allowing them to continue in the same direction.
Since the new account doesn't exhibit the issue, there are two ways to attack the problem. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything not on that list into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.
