Spotlight cant search my Start Up disk but all other volumes are okay.

Hello. I am really cheesed off with spotlight... It was working fine and now it's not. It indexes all my external HD volumes but not my start up system drive. I've tried adding/removing my Macintosh HD to the privacy list. I have tried terminal commands sudo mdutil -E / I get an error No Index
Any suggestions?
Thanks

TS1398 I cannot connect to iTunes store but all other devices are connecting to wifi and working great in household???

I cannot connect to iTunes store but all other devices are connecting to wifi and working great in household???

It has been saying this message for weeks so I don't think it's that iTunes is down...thank you though! I have 3 iPads, I phone, and iPod that I cannot connect to iTunes on and am beyond frustrated -ready to return items at this point...

IPod is recognised via USB, but all other devices are no longer recognised.

After a year of good work, at one moment the USB ports on the front of the computer doesn't recognise any device, except the Ipod Touch 4G wich is working fine. All other devices are not capable of communicating with the PC using USB-ports (camera's, SD-cardreaders, TomTom, etc.). It might have something todo with the IOS 4.2.1 upgrade (Apple), but I'am not sure. Any solutions/suggestions please?

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

SharePoint 2013 On-Premises - Search not crawling Korean content, but all other languages

We are facing an issue in a SharePoint 2013 site where I have lots of PPT files with different languages and also managed metadata tags tagged with them.
We are facing issue with Korean content PPT files where We are not able to search these files by their managed properties. Somehow SharePoint search is not able to crawl these Korean content PPT files with managed properties.
if we remove content from these files and do a crawl and search the file with managed property we get the result but if I put a small paragraph of Korean language and do the crawl it doesn't appear in search results with same query after the crawl.
Following are the server and site configuration details we are using:
Windows Server 2012 standard with SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Server installation
All our tags and managed properties are in English language only.
We are using SharePoint search API where I am passing query to SharePoint to fetch the result for example below is the query we are sending:
Ex.
( parentlink:"site URL*”)AND ( owstaxIdLanguage:"Korean"))
Following is the search result with different scenarios
Content in PPT file
Search using
Result
English
File name in search box
Worked
English
Using managed property
Worked
Korean
File name in search box
Sometimes works
Korean
Using managed property
No result
Following are the list of scenarios we tried to fix the Korean content issue:
Did a full crawl on all libraries multiple times
Did a full crawl on individual libraries
Changed library level settings to allow items to appear in search result, followed by a full crawl on individual library
Tried changing font for Korean content to generic font (Arial Unicode MS) per suggested by our PPT expert and crawled the content.
Installed Korean language pack on CM2 server and did a full crawl after uploading Korean content PPTs on UAT site

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/ec9febf7-8d69-42e9-b2dc-b6e5b0b46a89/sharepoint-2013-search-crawl-not-working-properly-with-korean-content?forum=sharepointsearch
Enabled "Always index all Web Parts on this site" in site settings > site visibility
Do we see some error in crawl logs in search
Is it a variation site? If yes, was the managed property data manually updated or it was done by system
What if you create a new list\column and check if crawl works on that column
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Imac crashes when i try to start itunes...all other programs are working fine....help !!!

imac crashes when i try to start itunes.... have updated everything...still crashes...please help...

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Ipad not connecting to Internet, but all other devices are

I'm using the original airport express...have a macbook pro and ibook connected to the wireless network and everything works just fine. Had my ipad 2 connected last night and it was working great. All of a sudden this morning it started showing a full airport signal but get a "Cannot Open Page...not connected to the internet" message.
In my ipad settings under my network I'm getting an IP address and Subnet mask but nothing under Router or DNS.
I have tried resetting ipad, airport, and router. Have tried renewing lease, and forgetting network.
I've been searching the internet for hours for other suggestions and can't find anythingt that's working or that I understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Osx mac mail cant reply or start new message, but stores as unworkable drafts

osx mac mail suddenly cant reply or start new message, but stores as unworkable drafts
Dont think I did anything to provoke this, can still access on server sites, but heh I'm used to to mac mail

As per usual, I spend days working on a problem, finally give up and post to the discussion groups, THEN find the solution. It was the Signature file. It had either become corrupt (it contains graphics) or the bug fixes in 10.5.5 didn't like it. Either way, removed the sig file and everything works great again! Thanks!

HT1310 I tried using the start-up manager but all that comes up is a padlock, narrow space to enter characters and a box with a right arrow.

Got the system from a donation store. This had been used at a school and the drive wasn't wiped, but most things require admin user-name & password. I tried the start-up manager but all that comes up is a padlock, narrow box to enter characters, and a box with a right arrow. Also, I can't use self-mode (command + S) just doesn't work. And no install discs. I get buy on eBay Restore discs but I think the OS id 9.0? Specs: MAC OS X 10.4.11, BUILD 8S165, S/N# XB**********S, Power PC G4 1.5 GHZ.

Firmware password protection in Mac OS X ...

It would block usage of all the startup keys, like C, N, T, D, CMD+s, CMD+Option+p+r, CMD +v, Option boot will show a lock, and Shift, as well as booting from anything but the Hard Drive.
Force Removing Password Protection
1) Add or remove DIMMs to change the total amount of RAM in the computer.
2) Then, the PRAM must be reset 3 times. (Command + Option + P + R).

Hi, KK93.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue. However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

My homepage won't load properly, but all other sites load fine.

When my homepage opens, all I see is a list of the drop-down menus on the left, instead of across the top. All are 'dead', not operating. The page is a blank white page instead showing the page content. I can access my homepage through IE fine. Using Firefox, all other website are normal. I tried downloading and reinstalling Firefox, but it would not download.

Sounds like maybe the Hard Drive is failing or has failed.
1. Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation 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. (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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
If you can not see the Mac OS X volume (Macintosh HD) in Disk Utility while started up form the Install Disc, then you will need to make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP and have them help.
If you have a good backup in place, then you can easily restore the new Hard Drive from backup. If not, then depending on what is wrong, you may or may not be able to recover your user data from a bad Hard Drive.

The original iPad can be updated to iOS 5.1.1. All more recent iPads can be updated to iOS 6.1.
If your iPad is running an iOS version prior to 5.0 you must update the iOS by connecting the iPad to your computer.
Start iTunes on the computer you normally sync with and connect your iPad.
Select your pad in iTunes on your computer.
Select Summary from the row of tabs presented.
Scroll down under Summary to find Check for Updates.
Follow the prompts. You might also disable virus protection software on your computer while doing the update. You can turn it back on when the update is complete.
