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.

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?

Smart feed not working correctly

hello,
the smart feed are not working correctly in this course page :

Smart groups not working

Whenever I try to set up a course as a smart group, not only do I not see any options (see http://tinyurl.com/34rnar6 ) but I get the warning "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again."
Has this been happening for a while, or am I just hitting the system at a bad time?
Thanks!

I have had this issue also since June 6th. Glad (and sorry) to hear others are having the same issue.
In addition to the original problem (see image in the first post), I have had other strange behaviors. I thought some Smart groups were corrupted, so I deleted then and tried to start over. When I tried to create new ones, sometimes it would open a different smart group (one was even not from our site). There seems to be much confusion.
Creating a new Smart group, I entered a title, and when I clicked on the + button to add a new row, it came up with all the lines of a different smart feed. On other attempts, I could add 1 or 2 lines before it would blank out like the original image shows. This happens on both my Mac and PC. It is causing large holes in our website.
Some links to the pages are:

Smart Groups not working with keywords?

I've gone through the various forum posts on Smart Groups (especially this one - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8649078&#8649078) but still haven't found an answer to this problem.
After importing my test files into my local iTunes install, I used the "Get Info" method to edit the metadata for those files. At this time, I put a series of keywords in the "grouping" field. I then uploaded these test files to our iTunes U site.
When I search for those keywords on our site, I get the results that I expect to get. However, when I try to create a Smart Group based on any of those keywords, I get no results. I waited for a few days, hoping that the indexing would catch up and yield more search results - but that didn't seem to fix the problem. The documentation states that Smart Groups should work with keywords... so is there something I'm missing here?
Any thoughts would be very helpful.

Duncan, thanks for responding to me quickly.
I'm confused where the keyword field is, though. I don't know of a keyword field using the "Get Info" method of editing the file's metadata on the local iTunes install, and the guide is unclear about where that field is or how to add information into it.
On this page (http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/AppleEducation-iTunesUUsersGuide/UsingiTunesUSe arch/chapter10_section2.html), it mentions the following method for adding keywords for iTunes U:
"To add additional keywords for iTunes U to search:
1. Control-click the track where you want to add keywords, then choose Get Info from the shortcut menu that appears.
2. Click the Info tab.
3. Add keywords to the Grouping field. When searching your iTunes U site, after a track title, keywords in the Grouping field have the second-highest matching relevance.
4. Click OK."
This is the method that I've been using, since it seems to say that any words added to the "Grouping" field on the local install get read as keywords by iTunes U. Is there another way to add keywords to a file that I'm missing?

Smart Group not working when assigning Card "is not member of"

I'm trying to create a smart group in Address Book, that seems to be failing.
What I'd like is a Smart Group where Cards NOT assigned to a certain other group are included in the Smart Group. However, the Smart Group isn't so smart ... in fact, it's coming up with completely the wrong cards. Any idea how I can make this function work?

yes, there seems to be a bug with such smart groups. they often either don't work or make address book crash. there were a number of posts about it. I don't have a workaround for this, sorry. but I suggest you don't use such smart groups.

Smart Groups not working after Maverick update

I can not send a message with my SMART group after I updated the Maverick. Someone help!!!

I have found that I can use Outlook 2011 if I boot my macbook up in safe mode (hold shift key down when restarting). Outlook then works, but does not have all functionality - for example I cannot search my emails, though I can sort them.
This lets me get by for now, but it means of course that in safe mode there are many other things that the machine is not able to do so is only of use for checking emails.

Hyperion Workforce Smart list not working correctly

We are customizing the Employee Type Smart list and added few more enties to it. But in the Web form when tried to select an entry its is showing the Label values and not the Name for newly added entries but the original options are working correctly. e.g.

Board LABEL_BOARD
EBA LABEL_EBA..
now in the form drop down I get values as below,
Regular
Contractor
Temporary
LABEL_BOARD
LABEL_EBA
Not sure why its working wierd for new entries. Version is 11.2.2

Are smartlists assigned to members?

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 =)

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.

HT2486 Smart Group not working for Multiple 'Not a Member of' Options

I am trying to go through my contacts and assign everyone to a group. I want to create a smart group whose criteria is "not in Group 1" AND 'Not in Group 2'.
This does not work. It simply gives me all the contacts.
Also, is there anyone to see a contact and know to which groups they belong. When I can't remember who someone is, it is helpful if I know what group.

I have a different conclusion : for me, it works since 10.9 where it has never worked before (and I just checked it still works with 10.9.1) !
I did not modified my groups, they simply started to work properly with 10.9.

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.

MX7 Grouping not working correctly

I am trying a phone usage report that is grouped by phone
number. At the end of each phone number, I want to do a summary by
the phone number. However, the first phone number always appears on
the last phone number’s summary.
Phone Number Date of Call Charge
2133333
01/01/05 2.00
02/02/05 1.00
Subtotal for phone #: 2133333 3.00
2132222 01/01/05 1.00
01/10/05 1.00
Subtotal for phone #: 2132222 2.00
2134444 01/01/05 5:00
01/08/05 2:00
Subtotal for phone #: 2133333 7:00
^ ^
Here should be 2134444 the amount is correct
Thanks for your help in advance.

I guess this is a bug with report builder. Try this:
create a calculated field and assign your group name to the
field. Then display that field where you are displaying the group
name.
In your case, create one calculated field as 'temp' and
assign phone number field to it. and then display 'calc.temp' where
you are displaying the group name.
