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.

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.

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 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 Group not accepting one card

I set up a Smart Group with specs of card/contains/sister. I then added a field to the cards called "group" and entered "sister" in that field on each applicable card. The smart group not accepting one of my sisters. I even deleted the field and reset. The only other thing I did was, on the card that is not getting into the smart group set, I originally entered "sister" in the "note" field, and then decided to set up a custom "group" field (where it says mother), so deleted the note entry and reentered at group. Can you help? Thanks nantsi

Response Groups not working

Hi there
My environment is a single Lync 2013 Front End Server installed on Server 2012.
It works since a year and now we want to use some response groups. I created 2 of them and everything seems fine but i cant call these groups. Not from internal and also not from external.
The clients shows an 500 internal server error with ID 26017.
So i traced the whole thing on the Front End Server. It seems the Response Group Service cant work with the local SQL Server. I see three error messages.
1. TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [2]0B90.37A8::07/23/2014-06:38:39.119.000002fb (RgsClientsLib,MatchMakingLocator.GetActiveInstanceFromDB:683.idx(479))
(0000000000150BA8)No instance registered as the active instance!
2. TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [1]1E08.2910::07/23/2014-06:38:42.462.00000a34 (RgsHostingFramework,CallControlManager.HandleAudioVideoCall:2049.idx(619))
(000000000362D054)Call is declined because Call Control is not started.

(0000000000150BA8)There is currently no active MatchMaking instance in the pool.
The Lync Server Event Log shows this error when the Response Group Service starts:
LS Response Group Service ID 31067
Lync Server 2013, Response Group Service Match Making could not find the Contact object used for subscribing to agents' presence.
Cause: The application has not been properly activated or the Contact object was deleted.
Resolution:
Deactivate and then activate the application for this pool.
Is there a way to reinstall / reconfigure the whole response group service incl. the active directory objects?
I hope somebody could help
Regards
Andreas

He ran Get-CsApplicationEndpoint and received a warning that let him to a resolution.
Short of that, I'd rerun step 2 in the deployment wizard and restart services when you can to see if I could jog anything loose.

The 'not member of any group' smart group stopped working

Since upgradng to Lion I notice that the Smart Group in Address book which I set to:
"Card - is not member of - any group"
has stopped working.
I used to find this very useful since I like all my contacts to be assigned to one group, and this helps me spot any I missed when adding new contacts. However it is now always empty, even after I created a new contact and did not assign it to any group.
Is this a known bug?
If not, how do I go about bringing it to the attention of Apple?

AB Smart Group "is not member of" a group not working

After having some trouble with AB over time (group members disappearing after some time syncing via MobileMe), I went through the 1700 cards one by one and deleted all the groups, and old cards, now am down to 1500, with a main Group of about 900. So simple math would say that there are 600 "not a member of" the main Group, or, #1, am I missing something there?
I'd like to have my wife go through those that are not in the Group and delete those cards she doesn't need. So I tried a Smart Group with the one parameter that the Card is not a member of the Group. The result was 64 cards, not 600.
So question #2 is what's going wrong here, am I misunderstanding or is this a flaw somehow?
Thanks!

As far as I know, Apple does not monitor these boards any more. Remind them here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
I just sent them a note, as I'm sure thousands others have since this seems to be a known issue, but considering they've let it slide for at least six months now, it can't hurt to have more people contact them. In the mean time, see these articles to use AppleScript to find items in/not in various groups:

Smart feed not working correctly

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

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.

Smart Groups not so "smart".

I have noticed that within Smart Groups I can not Edit Distribution List email addresses. After I change, they do not stick. Editing Distribution List works on regular Groups no problem.
Anyone have this issue or answer?
Also isn't it funny the Smart Groups do not sync to MobileMe or iPhone, once again not so "smart".
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what you mean about editing distribution list addresses, but what you need to understand is that Smart Mailboxes are not actually mailboxes. Think of them more like saved searches - they remember what you're searching for and do a new search for those items when you view them. This is why they don't behave like regular mailboxes in many ways.

Smart Folders not working in Addressbook

When i use the smart group function of my addressbook it doesn't mather what rules i specify ... i always get everyone in my addressbook.
How can i make this work ?
I have r/w rights on the addressbook folder so that shouldn't be a problem.

I found a work around... but I'm still curious why this stopped working...
The original logic was to have a sort of pre-filter Smart Mailbox with tons of conditions with "Any" selected. Then the second folder had "All" selected with "In the pre-filter mailbox" and "in the inbox selected". This stopped working and I had to then change it to "In the pre-filter mailbox" and "not in the specific folder I later sort into" This isn't quite as useful since sometimes I sort into different folders, but it did work.
I'm on 10.4.10 on a PPC iMac G5 1GB DDR2 SDRAM... I've done all the updates Apple can put out here except the iPod stuff since I'm not in that world... yet.

Server Group not working when one of Job Servers is down

I have a Server Group of two job servers. They have the same version 12.2.2.3 and are attached to the same Local Repository of version 12.2.2.0.
When I execute a batch job (from the Designer) and explicitly specify on which job server it should run, it works fine for either job server. Also, when I specify Batch Job execution on Server Group, it works fine.
However, when I shutdown one of the Job Servers, and then try to execute the job on Server Group, I'm getting two error messages, BODI-1111011 that one Job Server is down, and BODI-1111009 that another Job Server has failed.
At the same time, when I check the Server Group in the Management Console, it shows that the allegedly failed Job Server is in the status green.
That error is not reflected in a job server eveng log, nor there is anything written to webadmin log, not in the job trace (the latter isn't created at all).
Is there anything I can do at this point except raise a support message?

The issue was with different users for Local Repository in Admin and Job Server config. I discovered it when trying to run the job from Admin Console. Designer is probably not the best diagnostic tool for such kind of issues.
