Spotlight, can't search anything into shared folders, share volumes

Hi,
I installed Léopard twice already (a clean install) and since I'm stuck with a problem that I've not been able to understand. I just can't make any search into shared folders, shared volumes or even dmg disk image over the network.
Server is a Tiger Server and mdutil -s tell me that indexing is activated on any shared volume but no matter what I type in spotlight's search field, if it is not on a directly connected disk then I get nothing.
An ideas ? Is there any command line that could reset Spotlight to it's standart default values ?
Thanks for any help

As far as I know you need to install Leopard server for it to work. Everything has to be running Leopard (clients and server) to do Spotlight searches across the network. Also, I found I had to manually mount the shares (command-k then afp://myserver/myshare in the text field) to get Leopard to search the shares. Without doing that, the searches also failed.

I am having the same problem...if I cant find anything I will drop by the Apple store tomorrow after work and see if they can help me.
In case I dont get back here, email me at timboss351 at yahoo dot com and i will tell you what I find out. Hopefully...I will just remember to get back here to pass on what I can find.

Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 the spotlight can not find anything., Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 the spotlight can not find anything.

the spotlight can not find anything or any person form the contact list... by name, surname other details...

The same on my iPhone 4S with iOS 5.0.1. Must disable the in-Mail search option in General->Spotlight settings menu to make it work again, but you loose all the Mail indexing.

Is there a FIND search filter for SHARED folders?

I believe Archiving will only archive the users emails not any messages displayed in a shared folder.
But when I do a FIND search by date, I still see all those messages from shared folders that other users own.
Is there a FIND search filter for SHARED folders?
Further is there a way to differentiate or filter in a FIND search for shared folders that only I own, or shared folders that are owned by other people?

The archiving process isn't "allowed" to move messages from folders that are
owned by others. This is a different matter altogether. Archiving systems
typically use either IMAP or SOAP for their access, and cannot access folders
shared by other users (Nexic Discovery is different in this if you use the API
version of it, because it can see shared folders, and will archive if you
request it).
You are comparing apples and oranges unfortunately, and the client was built to
be able to manage shared folders unlike the archiving program.
As Michael says, you can choose to not "look in" shared folders if you do not
want them to show up in a find results.

I can't put anything into trash no permission

I turned on my old mini for the first time in over a year and can't move anything into the trash. First finder asks for a password which I give then trash won't let me. Says "cannot complete because you don't have permission to access some of the items". I went to trash>file>get info and nothing was in the read/write pull down so I pulled down my name which is an administrator, clicked it and got "could not complete an unexpected error occurred. Error message 136". Can anyone explain what the heck is going on?
I also can't figure out how to get my new password into keychain login and save it
thanks

Hi, it sounds like you may have many problems, & it may take awile to work through them, but the new Forum SW doesn't make it easy.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
On that error... Error message 136, could it have been -36?
Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation, which is not a good sign... do you have a current Backup?

Re:Can't able to access shared folders from different VLANs in SG300 series switches

Hi All,
I supplied 3 numbers of SG300 series switches for the sole reason to have inter-vlan routing. I created 4 VLANs in the switches and made one switch as Layer 3 switch and other 2 as Layer 2 switch. Inter-Vlan routing is working fine. I am able to ping PCs from different VLANs. But I am not to access shared folders. Customer has installed Window 2003 server installed and it is in VLAN 1. There are some folders created in this server and it is very important for users to have access to the folders.Also, I am not able to access shared folders in other VLANs. I have created a case with Cisco small business and I got a reply saying that the switches will not support shared folder feature, which I think is not real. I am getting a very time to implement this solution in the network. I have a Sonicwall firewall after Core switch which is connected to ISP.
ISP<----->Sonicwall FW<----->Core Switch<------>Layer 2 switch<------>Layer 2 switch
Kindly help me out to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Prashant K

Hi Prashant,
I think you're running into a Windows firewall issue. SMB file sharing, by default I believe, is only allowed on your local subnet. Please try disabling windows firewall on the computer hosting the shared folder, then see if you can access the shared file.
Best,
David

Can't put files into nested folders in dock

Whenever I try to put a file into a folder I have in my dock, it will only let me put it in the first level of the folder. Ideally, I would want the folder to pop open and show the next level of folders so I can navigate through levels of nested folders to put the file in the exact place I want deep within my folder hierarchy. I know I can hold down Control on a folder in the dock to show my nested folders, but how can I drag files into those nested folders? I thought this was supposed to be automatic in Tiger. Please help.

Yes- Easy!
When you have your Creative Media Explorer open and your portable device connected, you will see your Zen V Series Media Explorer in the SOURCE window in the upper LH corner. Click on the "+" in front of the Zen V Series icon and it will display the list of folders on the device.
Right click on the main folder for the category you want to put the sub folder in and you will get a drop down menu.
Select "New folder" and you will get the "New Folder" box asking you what name you want for your new folder. It's that easy.

Other Macs Can't Connect To My Shared Folders...

I have 3 macbook pros in my house, all running 10.5.4 Leopard, and only one has this problem and I don't know why:
The other 2 computers can see my computer under "Shared" in the Finder, and clicking on it connects the computers successfully as "guests", but they can't see any of my shared folders. It is just empty. I am sharing my Public folder, and I have tried sharing other folders as well, but nothing will show up no matter what I try.
I can see the shared files on other computers fine, but no one can see my computers shared folders even though they can connect to my computer.
Thanks for any help...

Yes... I should add I have file sharing turned on with both AFP and SMB enabled. I also have the Firewall set to allow all incoming connections.
When the other computer connects to mine, in sharing settings, it shows one connected user connected, but that user can't see any folders on the computer no matter what I share.

I can not access any more shared folders on windows 7 other pc on my homegroup

Hello every one.
I had my home group network working fine over wi-fi connection, (laptop with win 8.1 and laptop with win7) till few days ago I had to format and re install the win 8.1 using recovery disk from toshiba. Since then, although I have setup again the home
group as it was before, I can access the shared folders on win8.1 from win 7 but not the other way around. So when I try to access the shared folders on win 7, on my win 8.1 I receive the message: WINDOWS CAN NOT ACCESS \\WIN 7\\SHARED FOLDER.
Notice that when I open the network folder on win 8.1, my win 7 pc is visible, I click on it, I can see all my shared folders and the above message appears when I click on them.
Apparently some settings have changed on laptop win 8.1
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

I can't type anything into a tab

When I start Firefox, I try to type a url into the tab, but I can't type anything there.

Try to open a new window to see if that gives you a working location bar.

Spotlight can't find anything

Spotlight is getting to be real disappointing. I have messed around with it for weeks trying to get my processor from overloading on it. Now it can't find anything. Files I KNOW are there in my Documents folder do not show up, instead all I see is hundreds of programming files I don't care about. Preferences do not help. Does anyone have a final solution to this problem?

Hard to say since the problem isn't too clear. What do you mean when saying the processor is overheating? Do you mean that Spotlight won't finish indexing? As for not finding anything, it works fine as long the indexing is complete and up to date and you always include system files. Which programming files are showing up? Have examples?

T61 XP-Pro simple file sharing. T61 can't browse its own shared folders nor can Workgroup PC's

T61 simple file sharing.
The shared folders can be seen in "Workgroup" by the T61 and other intranet "Workgroup" PC's but not browsed. This is the error message:
"\Thinkpad\desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found."
What permissions or security settings need set?

When I tried to map a drive I also got " Not enough server storage is available to process this command."
This registry change fixed it:

I think this T61 6459 must have come with Norton anti-virus and I think I removed it when new in June. When I started using it recently I received the "Unable to load Symevent" error opening cmd.exe and fixed it with the Symevent update...Without Norton do I even need C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL..? Anybody opine?
Anyway I can now browse my shares locally and on the intranet. :

Can't type anything into the Finder's search box after installing Leopard

Same problem but intermittently. Bought mac with leopard. Thought first that this was related to the "frozen keyboard" problem, but seems to be different.

Can't search anything in App Store!! Help!!

Hi, I am using an iPad 2 and every time I try to search something it comes up with an error message (cannot connect to App Store) featured is fine and top rated is fine and I can download stuff but if I try to type anything in and search it.. It just doesn't allow it.. I have reset network settings turned it off and on.. Signed out of iTunes and back in.. Changed the date and time several times to different years and back and I have held down the home button and the lock button for 10 seconds until the apple symbol came up.. And still cannot connect to App Store when searching.. I updated my iPad to IOS 6.0.1 this morning and was able to search after but several hours later nothing! Is there anything else I can do?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
