Some in-place eDiscovery searches result in: The mailbox database is temporarily unavailable

Hi,
we have a problem with the eDiscovery search. If I search for specific categories in eDiscovery (e.g. category:red ) the search is failing and I am getting:
The mailbox database is temporarily unavailable. Even in Powershell the search fails and I am getting mailboxdatabaseoffline Exception.
But if I search for from:[email protected] the search is working without any errors.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve that? Thanks.

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you use the following cmdlet to search and check the result.
New-MailboxSearch -Name "xxx" -SearchQuery {category:"Red Category" -and from:contoso.com} 
For your reference:

  • In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

    Hello, all.
    In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

    Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
    Type in the name of the track.
    Click the album of interest to show tracks.
    Select the track.
    Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
    Double click the track you want to start playing first.

  • Safari 5.0.2 doesn't save any more google search results in the history.

    Hello together,
    Safari doesn't save any more google search results in the history.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1.) go to google.com
    2.) search for "APPLE"
    3.) open the history
    Result: the search for "APPLE" is not saved - only the Google mainpage.
    This has something to do with the new search string in the Location bar. Safari does not save URL with /#.
    For example:
    the new string is http://www.google.de/#hl=...
    the old one is: http://www.google.de/search?hl=....
    The change must something to do with the new Google-Search-Feature. When I deactivate it, then google works with the old string and I found the searches in the history.
    The second negative effect is, when you type "apple" into the location bar (after a search), the autocomplete shows the search result, but when you hit enter, you are redirected to the Google-Mainpage.
    Very annoying
    Can somebody confirm.
    Thanks

  • How to modify  the search results of the GUI for subscribing to calendars

    How to modify the search results of the GUI for subscribing to calendars
    Note:
    <OL>
    <LI>The following information applies only to iPlanet Calendar Server 5.0
    Patch 3.
    <LI>All of the cases for which the XSLT changes will work have not been
    verified.
    <LI>The following is only an example of an XSLT customization.
    </OL>
    The example below shows a sample customization of the
    search_for_calendars
    dialog. This customization will result in the Display Name being included as
    part of the search results in the GUI, which would normally show just the
    calendar ID. It will render the returned calendars in the following format:
    <P>
    Display Name - <I>description</I>
    <P>
    Normally, the format would be as follows:
    <P>
    Calendar-ID - <I>description</I>
    <P>
    </A>
    The example consists of the following two files:
    <P>
    <OL>
    <LI>search_for_calendars_common.xsl
    (the entire XSLT file)
    <P>
    <LI>diffctx.txt

    2 errors: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" and the sim says "searching" while iTunes says there is "No Sim installed" - but of course, there is! Any help please??

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for the note - I have seen similar replies on other posting errors and I see how that could make sense. The thing is, my iPhone is not jailbroken - it is from an authorized distributor. However, when I told them about the "no service" problem on the sim, they were unable to assist. Then my phone messaged that an itunes restore was required - so I did that, several times, to the error message now noted on my post. I wonder if there is some other way to over-write this message? Thanks very much.

  • Is there a way to have a search form for the CRM database?

    I know there is a search form provided for the Web Apps. I can't seem to find how to create a search form for the CRM database. I have created a membership site, and also extended the CRM database with additional fields. I would like the users to be able to search on selected fields in the CRM database including the extended database fields. For example, I have a field called membership type in the extended database. I would like to be able to search on that in a search form. Is that possible?
    Thanks

    Sidney,
    Your input is very helpful to put me on the track to find a workaround. As I tried using Web App approach, I get into a road block that hopefully you can help throw some light on.
    This my scenerio: I created a Web App for holding the profile fields (called it Profile). I created a Page to display the Customer record (Names, usernames, email, etc, and I would also want to display the fields from the Profile Web App. I am at lost how to do that. Seems like I can only insert the web item list in that page but I actually want to display the Detall Layout instead of the List layout. To display the Detail Layout, I need to first manually choose the item before it will direct me to the Detail layout. I am trying to find a way to do this automatically based on the fact I have only one Profile web app item for each customer.
    The question is whether there is a way to pull up a specific Profile web app item based on the customer's id or something that link the two together, using javascript or whatever method. Is there a tag to gives me the customer record id? If I can get that id, I could insert that id into one of the fields in the Profile Web App during creation of profile. Perhaps I can then pull up the profile item based on this id.
    Thanks for all the help

    Hello dproctor4,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IPhone 4S could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable

    If you got the "scary" message that you could not activate iPhone 4S neither by Wi-Fi or iTunes, I want to share my experience:
    I decided to reset my iPhone 4S, and used "Erase All Content and Settings" under the reset menu (Settings/General/Reset), I was hoping that the erasing just does that, but for me the nightmare started!
    I was taken to the activation screens, and begun with the welcome one, choose language, choose location services (later on it also disappears) and selecting Wi-Fi and/or iTunes for activation.
    I chose a Wi-Fi network the process started, and gave me a message that it will take about three minutes to activate iPhone, few minutes later a screen with this message appears: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    Then, I decided to try the activation using iTunes…
    Using iTunes, after few minutes, it shows the following message: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    I tried several times in both ways, trying 4 different Wi-Fi networks and 3 different computers in the whole process, and I was going desperate! I started to find out some info about this trouble over the Internet, and guess what? I was not alone! But I did not find any answer or solution either!
    Finally, I joined Apple Support Communities, and started searching with no good luck at all, until I found (many hours later)  this old (2009) solution:
    +Do a DFU recovery:+
    +1. Open iTunes.+
    +2. Connect the iPhone+
    +3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).+
    +4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.+
    +5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.+
    (THANKS A LOT!!! modular747 and Easily Easy, you saved me!!!)
    Then I suggest everyone to use this, of course it will erase everything, but you may be able to recover your data from your last backup, or you can also choose to configure iPhone as a new cell phone.
    The process took me about 92 minutes, but it was worth it, now I own an unlocked iPhone 4S (it was an AT&T when I purchased from Apple Store in November) and is working perfectly!
    Hope it is useful for all of you facing this trouble!
    Good luck and enjoy your iPhone then!

    I tried the process and was happy to note that there was some process that I managed to start because the process did start ...
    However to my disappointment,  landed back at the same status which says
    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
    Please try again later, or contact customer care
    I was using a GEVEY sim unlock with iOS 4.1 since (almost) last 2 yrs now in India on Vodafone. But as Apple designed it, there were several apps including Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail and LinkedIn that stopped functioning due to the iOS updates and the subsequent (I guess 'mandatory' App updates). Finally yesterday I thought of updating to the iOS 6. As soon as I did that, I have been left with no choice but to see the above message.
    The process by jhidrowoh starts corectly but iTunes doesnt give you the option of restore only ... it is forcefully clubbed with update and the button that is displayed in the dialog box that appears on pressing 'Restore' in teh recovery mode, shows 'Restore and Update' and as soon as the iPhone is restored, it automatically updates the iOS as well to iOS 6 and hence leaves you hanging in the stale situation.
    Guys ... Need the data desperately ... Can anybody please help???

  • We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

    Please can someone help. I keep on getting this when I try and buy a song or upgrade my iPhone aps. I have got the latest iTunes on my 15" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5 (12F37). Last week I changed my password on //appleid.apple.com I could the access my account in iTunes. I have tried to log on to my account / view my account in itunes / buy a song and tried upgrading my apps, but I can't do anything now. it is frustrating. Please, please, please can someone help. :-)

    Unsure if this will help anyone but I had the same problem with the message always coming up when I tried to login: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    What I couldn't understand was that I could log into iTunes online, but not through the iTunes app, becoming very frustrated I went to drastic measures to get everything working again - although I found this post after I had success.
    To add to the issue, my iPhone (4S - iOS7) was visible on iTunes (latest version), but some of my apps had failed to sync (showing grey on my iPhone and being unable to delete them), causing further issues and adding to my frustrations....which attributed to the drastic measures posted below.
    (You may want to try following the above posts before following my method)
    **** Apple support provided me with an email containing many links, all of which didn't really help me, but I'll post anyway, just incase they assist someone else:
    "Dear Luke,
    Thank you for writing to iTunes Store Customer Support, my name is Indra and I'll be assisting to you with your concern.
    I understand that you are unable to login to your iTunes store account and getting message that the iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. I can imagine you must be eager to access your account and I will do my best to resolve this issue.
    Luke, as an advisor for the iTunes Store, I handle issues related to billing, downloading, customer accounts, and the items available on the iTunes Store. Although your question falls outside of my area of specialty, I will be happy to assist you with resolving your issue.
    I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself. If you’re still unable to connect, this article outlines some potential solutions:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store

    Firewall, virus-protection, and web-acceleration software can prevent you from connecting to the iTunes Store. You might not be able to connect even if the software appears to be configured to allow full access to the iTunes Store. You can use the MSCONFIG utility to determine if software on your computer is preventing access to the iTunes Store. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following article:
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista and Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
    If the articles above don't help you connect to the iTunes Store, I suggest testing to see if this issue occurs while you are signed in to a new user account on your computer. To learn how to create a new user account in your version of Windows, please read the article below for your operating system:
    How to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP

    Windows 8: Create a user account
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-user-account
    Once you are signed in to this new user account, open iTunes and try to connect to the iTunes Store. If you can connect without error, then you’ve identified that the issue is with the previous user account that you were using. You may want to consider adopting this new account as your user account and transferring your files from the old account to your new one.

    But if the above doesn't work for you then you can follow my method...in the end, I perfomed the following actions which did work:
    1).  Uninstalled iTunes from my computer (via Control Panel > Programs & Features)
    2).  Located the iTunes folder containing media, Previous Libraries etc (normally located under your Music folder) and simply moved it to my desktop. (can't afford to delete)
    3). Downloaded iTunes.
    4). Plugged my iPhone into my laptop and moved all contents across to my desktop (photo's).
    5). Restored my iPhone erasing ALL data (extreme but desperate measures were required) - you may want to back it up, but I personally didn't have anything that I couldn't afford to loose on it.
    6). Set-up my iPhone (set language etc...) including iCloud, but did not plug it into my laptop.
    7). Chose the following iPhone settings>   
              > iCloud - Contacts turned off
              > Mail, Contacts, Calendars - iCloud Contacts turned off (same end result)
              > iTunes & App Store - made sure I was logged in via Apple ID.
    7). Closed Outlook.
    8). Re-installed iTunes, saving it on the C:> default location.
    9). Followed the normal iTunes install prompts, setting it up as new. (making sure I had NO apps or music - clean slate)
    10). Plugged my iPhone into my laptop, waiting for it to appear as it normally does.
    11). Checked for iOS updates and iTunes updates (all good)
    12). Checked Sync Contacts with Outlook (opening Outlook at the same time) - Calendars I left to the iCloud
    13). APPLY....once sync finally completed (this time SUCCESSFUL) I was able to click iTunes Store and LOG IN.....finally!
    I probably didn't have to perform all 13 steps, but that's exactly what I did to get everything working again!
    There is probably someone out there who will be able to explain why I couldn't login to iTunes, why many of my apps didn't load onto my iPhone correctly, why everything failed to sync and probably able to shorten the above 13 steps to a quick fix.... but for now, everything is finally working and my 48hrs of frustration has come to an stress free end!
