Spotlight cannot find any files on an OS X Lion server. Any ideas?

Spotlight cannot find any files on an OS X Lion server.
Spotlight keeps on "losing" the files on the system. Spotlight searches will show applications, but no files. Rebooting the system will cause the files to start appearing again in searches, but the problem re-occurs within a day or two of the reboot. Removing and re-adding the volume with mdutil has the same effect as rebooting the system, but is much slower due to the re-indexing once the indices are deleted.
$ sudo mdutil -sv /
          Indexing enabled.
          Scan base time: 2011-11-07 15:43:31 +0000 (1209505 seconds ago), reasoning: 'scan required - mount side'
So it seems to know it needs to scan the volume. When I do
$ sudo mdutil -i on /srv/store2
I then get
$ sudo mdutil -sv /srv/store2
/srv/store2:
          Error: unexpected indexing state. kMDConfigSearchLevelTransitioning
Which would assume means it's changing from an unindexed state to an indexed one.
There is no Spotlight config that would prevent Spotlight from locating the files in question. The index just appears to be inaccessible. mdutil -s / shows "Indexing enabled" for / (the mount point in question) and "Indexing disabled" for /srv/store2, another folder it should be indexing.

Update
After reboot, mdutil -sv /srv/store2 shows:
/srv/store2:
Indexing enabled.
Scan base time: 2011-08-22 15:53:26 +0100 (7954912 seconds ago), reasoning: 'scan required - shutdown side'
And I can see three mdworker processes running
$ ps ax | grep mdworker

Spotlight Cannot Find Files

Hi,
I have an encrypted disk image with some files in it. However, spotlight cannot find any of the files. Most are text files and I even placed tags in the Spotlight Comments section of the 'Get Info' popup. Any ideas how I can have spotlight find these files?
PS. Is it just me or did spotlight in Leopard get less powerful, in that there aren't as many custom filters to put on finding metadata. Plus it is a chore to specify if you only would like to search one folder.
Thanks

i'm having the same problem and my disk isn't even encrypted. since switching to leopard, spotlight has been a distaster. it worked fine in tiger, but i've repeatedly tried to find things that i know exist with no luck.
for example, i do a search on my local for files that i created called FAQ, nothing relevant comes up. i then look around myself and find the folder they are in, called FAQ, and do a search in that specific folder for files called 'FAQ'. i have two browser windows open, one with the search results, one with the actual folder. in the folder i see seven files with FAQ in the file name. in the search results window, with file name clicked, and that folder specified, it brings up only one of the seven files. other times it's come up with none, and i'm looking at the **** things sitting there. what gives? am i losing my mind?

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
I am currently developing an ASP.NET website using Visual Studio.NET 2005. I am using the .NET 2.0 framework, VB.NET as my programming language and I connect successfully to a SQL Server 2005 database. I can select, insert, update and delete data from the database elsewhere in my project, so I know basic connectivity isn't an issue. The problem seems to be with Crystal Reports.
I created a folder called 'Reports' in my project and added a Crystal Report file (OpenFiles.rpt) to it. I designed the report and initally used a hard-coded SQL query as its datasource so I could quickly get the database fields onto the report and preview them. All worked fine.
To make the report accessible to the rest of the website, I created an .xsd dataset file containing the three tables (and their corresponding tableadapters) that the report requires and then redeveloped the report using the dataset as the datasource for the report. After doing this, the preview no longer worked.
Next, I added a page to the website and dragged a Crystal Report Viewer Control onto it. In the code behind the page I wrote:

Any ideas, anyone?
Also, assuming I can get past this error, I will need to figure out how to fill the tables in the .xsd dataset file. I have written a class for the dataset that includes functions that populate the tables in the dataset from the database by executing SQL queries. But how do I call these functions at the time the report is run?
This is my first Crystal report written in .NET and I've been struggling with it for days now. Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks very much!

hello, the error message is obviously coming from one of the installed mcafee extensions. please directly contact mcafee technical support - they can likely give you more detailed guidance and are the only ones who can fix bugs or make necessary adjustments in the addon.

Receiving error message 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'

I started getting this error message for the first time today. When I look in the event log I see it every time anyone tries to sync to a mobile device to the exchange server. I've also had this problem trying to connect using
Outlook. I believe it is an IIS issue but I'm not absolutely sure so I'm posting this in the Exchange forum as well.
The event viewer has the following information...

I have tried most, if not all, of the different post's suggestions to no avail.
The steps I have taken are as follows...
1. Repaired .Net 4 (Both the client and extended)
2. Uninstalled and reinstalled .Net Framework 4.0.
3. Verified that the dll exists.
4. Checked the applicationHost.config file. It contains the follow statement...
<add name="ServiceModel-4.0" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0"
/>
5. Changed the following line in web.config to include the runtimeVersion...
<add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0" />
6. Executed aspnet_regiis.exe -iru from the ...\Framework64\v4.0.30319 directory.
7. Went to inetpub\history to use an applicationHost.config file from yesterday but it only has history from 9PM tonight. It probably had what I needed before I started changing it tonight.
I still receive the same error message.
Like I said everything was working yesterday. In fact I didn't hear or see any issue until after 1PM today.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Hi,
Please confirm whether users can access their mailboxes from Outlook Web Access or not. We can do the following changes to have a try:
1. In IIS > Application Pools, change the .NET Framework Version to v2.0 and restart IIS service.
2. If it doesn’t work, explore the Default Web site.
3. Renamed the web.config file to web.config.old
4. Reset IIS using iisreset command to have a try.
Thanks,

Office 365 App using NAPA - "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"

Hello,
I am creating an app using NAPA tool in Office 365. I am trying to "Add an attachment" to a custom list item using SPServices. When I am using my code (jquery code) in content editor web part on a page, its working fine, but when I am adding
the same code in an app, its giving me error : "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80070002)" - 500 Internal Server error.
(function () {
// This code runs when the DOM is ready and creates a context object which is
// needed to use the SharePoint object model
$(document).ready(function () {
//alert('In doc ready');
$('.attachmentButton').change(function(event){
var listName = 'UploadTest',
itemId = 2;
handleFileChange(listName,itemId,event.target.files);
function handleFileChange(listName,itemId,files){

Server Publishing infrastructure and Server publishing features are activated on site collection and site respectively.
Any suggestions, why I am getting this error in NAPA ?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about adding attachments to list items in app.
To add attachment to list item in the host web, we should first get the list and the list items from the host web, then add the attachments to the list items.
There are two articles about retrieve the list and list items in the host web, you can refer to them.

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/93cb27/retrieve-sharepoint-app-host-web-list-items-in-sharepoint-ho/
What’s more, we can also use the REST API to achieve the same scenario.

Photosmart C4780 install fails at "system cannot find specified file"

My problem started simply with the printer, an HP Photosmart C4780 which has always had a wireless connection and would not print. At first, the network connection checked out fine from the printer control panel. I ran a Microsoft printer troubleshooter, which found a block in the print queue, and cleared it. The first test page would not print, but the "inner test page" did print. I didn't understand whatever that meant, so I looked for help from the HP site.
I ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and it suggested I reinstall the driver. I downloaded and saved the current one from HP (PS_AIO_06_C4700_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175.exe) and then uninstalled the existing driver. When I attempted to install the new one, a window popped up saying, "The system cannot find the specified file," with only one box to click which said simply "OK". The installation went through to "review installation options", after which came “checking updates, downloading updates, installing updates” and then it was while “checking system” that the “cannot find the file” window popped up, and when I clicked “OK”, the installation window as well as the error message box, just disappeared. What I assume was the file path was in the frame of the window, but the whole thing didn't fit so it didn't show the end. What I could read was “C:\Users\ … \Local\Temp\7zS588E\Setup\.\Setup\hpzpnp40 …
I found one topic on the same problem for the same model printer in the forum, which offered this fix:
You will need to first complete a level 3 uninstall of the software. I have included the steps below for this.
1. Press the Windows key, and the letter R
2. Type %temp%, and click OK
3. Open the 7z folder (most recent one if there are multiples)
4. Open the util folder
5. Open the ccc folder
6. Double click on the Uninstall_L3
Once the Uninstall_L3 has completed, please delete all items listed in the temp folder. Note, you will not be able to to delete all items, please skip the ones that you cannot. Next please empty the trash, and perform a clean boot. I have included the document 'How to perform a clean boot in Windows'. If your computer does not request it, please restart your computer.
Once your computer is back up, you will need to reinstall the printers software. You can either do this by using the Installation CD, or downloading the software.
I did what was suggested, until it got to the point where it said it did not recommend removing any further items if I intended on using the HP Officejet printer (yes I have a second HP printer attached to the network) anytime in the future. Not really understanding how this all works, I decided to stop what I was doing, so unfortunately it did not solve my problem.
Do I need to uninstall both HP printers before I can reinstall one? And if I do that, is there any reason I would not be able to reinstall both printers? Sounds like I'm asking for trouble. Bottom line... I still cannot install the driver.
I have tried to install both the full and basic versions of the driver and always get the same result.
I have an HP Pavilion dv6-3100t notebook, running Windows 7 Home Premium, version 6.1.7601 service pack 1, 64 bit. I haven't installed any new hardware or software. This printer has always had a wireless connection. The router I use is a Netgear 54 Mbps WGR614 v6 (supplied by my cable company), and the network includes not only my notebook and the Photosmart printer, but also an ASUS desktop, another HP printer, an Officejet 6300 series (used only for printing graphics and photos with a wired connection to the router), and a Vizio smart-TV. I use Norton 360 Premier Edition and disabled the anti-virus auto-protect when I downloaded and attempted to install the driver.
Please help! And thanks in advance for your time and attention.

Hi wakey-wakey,
I would recommend accessing your Temp folders, rename a Temp folder to 7zS588E and run the installation from that folder.

Outlook 2010 - sending mail with attachment - "The system cannot find the file specified"

Hi forum Fellows,
I have the following failure scenario:
1. A user receives an e-mail with an attachment.
2. The user opens the attachment --> Forwards the mail and writes something in the body of the e-mail
3. For whatever reason the user leaves the e-mail and works on something else --> the user comes back to the e-mail an hour or more later.
4. The user then wants to send the e-mail but gets the following error message: "The system cannot find the file specified"
5. The effect is that the user cannot send the e-mail.....
------------------------------ TROUBLESHOOTING -----------------------
- I can see that when the user opens an attachment this attachment is saved in the OutlookTemp folder. Actually, there is a difference between opening the attachment before or after clicking forward on the e-mail.
---- Before: Two files is written to the OutlookTemp folder. For example if the attachment name is FileX.pdf - there will be a FileX.pdf but also a FileX (2).pdf in the folder (if OutlookTemp is empty/do not contain a file with the name FileX.pdf already)
---- After: Only one file is written to OutlookTemp. That is FileX.pdf
- Running Process Monitor when trying to forward the e-mail I can see that Outlook is calling a file that is not in the OutlookTemp folder anymore.
**** To me this is the heart of the issue. For some reason, when a user has an e-mail with an attachment open for an extended period of time (not sure on exactly how long is necessary), files in the OutlookTemp folder is deleted - files that Outlook is depending
on to be there.
- Going with a totally clean OutlookTemp folder does not help.
------------------ NOW WHAT ---------------
- The question now is: Is this by design? Can it be fixed by some Outlook 2010 patch? Or perhaps a group policy/registry setting as a workaround.

Hello Red Baron,
Although not a complete answer, the way to treat attachments in emails require some discipline:
1. Never open an attachment directly from the email (and NEVER edit it from there). Always save it in a known location as the desktop or (better) in a designated document folder. Then you can proceed as usual, like editing the contents, printing, forwarding
the new version etc.
2. Directly forwarding the attachment is ok, along with additional text in the body of the email.
3. Having any (unsaved) document open for several hours should
never occur. What if there is a power outage?
Bottom line is thus Discipline. This is regardless of Operating System (which might handle temporary files differently).
These are the rules I teach my customers and they never leave any document unsaved for hours ...
Best regards George

My ipad quit backing up and it cannot find the file. I tried putting on another computer after a hard reset but it says it cannot back up there either.

My ipad quit backing up because it cannot find the file. I have tried a restore and hard reset and adding itunes to another computer and putting it on there but it still will cannot add the ipad to the new computer and back up. I have an iPad (not iPad 2) and 5.01 OS. It appears that my iPad is not fully fuctional since I updated to the new OS which is when my ipad stopped backing up. I lost data too and some apps don't work anymore.

Have you previously synced photos to the iPad, as that occasionally causes the 'missing file' error. If so then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try backing up - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314.
In terms of apps not working, if it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

"The system cannot find the file specified" - error reading properties file

I have packaged a class file and a .properties file in the same folder as a ejb-jar file and in the class file i try reading the properties file and it throws me the error - "The system cannot find the file specified". But when I put the complete path, it has no problem finding the file.
I know that this must be the problem with classpath, but can anybody tell me why it is not finding the properties file even if they are in the same folder. How do I make class files find .properties file which are in a folder.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am not sure if your question is realted to the Oracle Application Server - anyway, if you are packaging a class file and a properties file in a JAR File, you need to read the contents in a different manner...something like this... :
URL url = new URL("jar:file:/home/duke/duke.jar!/");
JarURLConnection jarConnection = (JarURLConnection)url.openConnection();
You might want to have a look at this link for more information :

You may also get better responses if you post your question in one of the Java Forums.

"system cannot find the file specified" when launching a java app

Hi,
we are receiving an error message saying "The system cannot find the file specified" when launching a java app on a server. Exactly the same configuration on another server does not give the same problem.
The dialog box with the error message only presents one button - OK - and after pressing the button the app continues to run normally. This however is a big problem for us as we are trying to convert the apps into system services using the wrapper (http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org).
Note: the problem exibits itself with and without the use of the wrapper.
I am not very comfortable about reinstalling the JRE on a production server. Is there any way to see what file it is missing? Debug options or something similar?
The JRE in question is 1.4.2_06. Many thanks in advance for your answers.

if not setting Post-Processing option results in a cryptic error why doesn't Adobe do one of at least three things?
1. Don't let user click Export on Export dialog if nothing's selected for Post-Processing.
2. Default Post-Processing to Do Nothing
3. Give the user a hint as to what the problem is when the error occurs instead of issuing cryptic error message.
Allowing this error to persist for so long is ridiculous.

Cannot Install this Hardware - The system cannot find the file specified.

I got an 8G ipod touch last week. When I plug it into USB port on my PC, a Found New Hardware Wizard box pops up with "Cannot Install this Hardware", "There was a problem installing this hardware: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver", "An error occurred during the installation of the device", "The system cannot find the file specified.", "Click Finish to close the wizard.". If I go ahead and click finish, the device disappears and a couple of seconds later tries to install again and the box pops up again. However, if I leave the box alone, the ipod does actually appear in itunes and I can sync music to it, so all is not lost Any ideas though how to stop this error box popping up? The USBAAPL.SYS driver exists - I don't know what file it cannot find. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
if you have a Leopard OSX DVD you can use it to install the BootCamp 2.0 drivers and later use the BC Update 2.1 for XP to further update the drivers.
If not (still running OSX Tiger) there are two possibilities:
use this direct download link for the latest ATI/AMD Mobility Driver package http://ati.amd.com/online/mobilecatalyst/
or use the ModTool found here http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php in conjunction with the ATI/AMD Desktop Driver package.
You should also consider getting and installing the latest (June 2008) DirectX 9 package from Microsoft.
Hope it helps with your gaming problems.
