Spotlight does not search the notes field in contacts

I can't get spotlight to search the notes field in a contact. I think that this used to work a short while ago. Am I missing something here?

That's just how iOS is right now. You should try out the "Contact Notes" app. It's just $0.99 (in the US), and lets you display and search all your contact notes, all from one page. Here's a link to iTunes page: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/contact-notes/id396281211?mt=8
Full disclosure: I made the app.

How can I reliably search the "Notes" field in iOS?

I know this isn't strictly an Applescript question, but I've found that the level of knowledge in this particular section of the boards is WAAAAAYYY higher than other sections, so I'm gonna ask this here anyway. FWIW, it does involve AppleScript....
So I really miss the Palm style contact search by first initial and last name. So I wrote an applescript that runs nightly on my iMac and updates any new contacts to include this search term in the notes field. Actually, to be completely honest, some members of this forum wrote most of the script for me.... Anyway, for instance, Joe Smith has "JSmith" placed into the notes field.
Now, usually when I search my contacts like this on my iphone it works like a dream. But sometimes the expected contact does not appear. In those cases, if I open the contact a different way (by searching for "Joe Smith," for instance, I find the contact, open it up, and always find that "JSmith" is actually in the notes field. My Applescript is working like clockwork... that's not the problem. Once I close the Joe Smith contact and retry the "JSmith" search, it now works. What gives?
It's kinda like Spotlight is using a search index for the notes field but not the name itself? And the search index is not getting updated until I manually open the contact? But only on some contacte? Usually it updates itself just fine without my having to open the contact? And then today it failed to find a contact that has had the Palm-seach term in the notes field for at least three weeks. Once I opened it manually, though, it worked.
So... help! Is there a way to force the iphone to manually rebuild whatever database spotlight is using to search the notes field? What's going on?

I've turned on BOLD TEXT and turned on REDUCE MOTION but for me it feels like more than just the zooms in and out... I'm getting sick just reading emails and texts or just glancing at the lock screen. It's intant nausea. The only thing I can think of is that it's something to do with refresh rate or frequency of the screen.
I thought I'd just get used to it but it has not subsided. I only hope I don't have to resort to backgrading to iOS 6 or worse, moving to a different brand of phone.

On OSX 10.6.8 Mac Mail sent items do not show the Bcc field. Adjusting settings in mail/prefs/viewing/custom/bcc has no affect on Mail, ie Bcc still does not appear on sent items. Anyone got a fix?

On OSX 10.6.8 Mac Mail sent items do not show the Bcc field. Adjusting settings in mail/prefs/viewing/custom/bcc has no affect on Mail, ie Bcc still does not appear on sent items. Yet another example of Mac caring not a jot about the performance of versions of OS and software running on on older hardware. Anyone got a fix by any chance? Oh and fyi I need to see the Bcc in sent items to confirm sent email is attaching to Salesforece - when I see the Bcc I know I can delete it as a copy will be in SForce. Big thanks W.

Error the entered value does not match the specified field type

Hi,
When I try to insert a null value to a field of the User Defined Table I am getting the error "The entered value does not match the specified field type" in SAP Business One version 2007 PL 42.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sudha.

Hi Sudha,
It probably have to do with how you defined the field.
Is Null value allowed?
What are the field definitions?
Thanks,
Jesper

Have a bluetooth issue, my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

Midi keyboard does not play the note F2.

Hey guys,
My Logic is running fine overall but this one thing is realy upsetting: My usb midi keyboard (Alesis q25) does not play the note F2. If I press the key on the midi keyboard the note is not shown in the transport area (or transport field? don't know the correct english word) BUT when I release the key it shows that the note is not played anymore (a crossed note appears and next to it it says: F2_ _64). Furthermore it is not a problem of the hardware because when I use another octave the same key makes the midi files play but another key, now assigned to F2, is not working anymore. The caps lock keyboard is working fine so i think there is a problem with the midi setup but logic is not really making it easy for me to reassign the keyboard completeley. Could anyone help me please?
I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
cheers

figured it out my self. cmd+k and then delete any assignments

Adding an image when signing, but not in the signature field, in Reader

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to add an image to a pdf document when I sign the document in Reader.
I do not want to add the image in the signature field as a signature, but rather below the signature field. The image is 'n barcode providing me with more information on the signature.
I have looked at the Stamper example, but this functionality is not avialable in Reader.
Thank you,
Magda

If you insert after signing you will break the signature!! You need to do any such stamping BEFORE signing.

When doing a search, the websites I have been to don't highlight a different color. How can I change this so I know which ones I have looked at?

On IE when I am doing a search the webpages I have been to, turn a purple color. Can I set Firefox to do the same thing? How would I do that?

That is the visited color.
You can check the Visited Links color: Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Colors
Make sure that the History is enabled: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Remember my browsing history
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode, see [[Private Browsing]])
To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"

Notes in the Notes app are missing after upgrade to iOS 8

I upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 8. After the upgrade, all of the notes stored in the Notes app are missing. The notes were not associated with an email address, as I believe they were stored on the "On my iPhone" account. I also tried restoring the phone from a backup prior to the upgrade, but that did not restore the notes. To be clear, the notes app is there, but the notes inside it are missing. Solutions?

ical is a native app and cannot be deleted
spotlight can now be found by swiping down anywhere on the screen below the first row of icons.
you can also go to settings/general/reset/reset home screen

How do I search the comments field in iTunes 11

How do I search the comments field in iTunes 11 for windows

I was suggesting you untick it.
New search behaviour
Old search behaviour
Thinking that the old behaviour might prove more fruitful.
If that doesn't help can you post a screenshot that shows what you're doing and why you think you're getting the wrong results?

A note in the Notes application generates multiple copies of itself

A note in the Notes application spontaneously generates multiple copies of itself. This is the second time. This also happened with Mountain Lion. It makes Notes unusable. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to solve it?

Hi,
I had this problem where the app is showing you drafts of your notes you are making which means multiple copies are showing up in the list. I did the following and it fixed my notes on the machine having the issue which is my MacBook Air. I have an iPhone, iPad, and a MacPro which all were acting normal.
1. Open Notes on the machine having the issue and compare to other devices.
2. Make sure to copy and paste any notes on the problematic machine to a text edit document because you are going to delete all notes on the problematic machine.
3. Open the sidebar on the Notes app so you can see all accounts to sync with notes (iCloud Account).
4. If you select the iCloud account does the redundant notes dissapear? For me they did but I went farther with troubleshooting because some of the notes I made on my MacBook Air were not syncing properly.
5. Open System Preferences/iCloud and selct the account you are using to sync notes (iCloud for me).
6. Uncheck Notes from the list
7. Go to the notes app and confirm all notes are gone and you can also erase any stored on your Mac (if you have backed the up or if there are on the iCloud server)
8. Recheck the Notes box in System Preferences/iCloud and confirm that notes sync back to your machine.
9. Operation should be back to normal
Good luck,

Help help help help. I just mistakenly deleted a Note from the Note App that I need. I don't use iCloud. The only place I have the Note app is on my iPad and my iPod. What can I do? Is there any help for this?

Help help help.
I just deleted a note from the Notes App form my ipad3. I don't use iCloud. The only place this note was is my iPod and iPad. Is there any possible way to recover this note?????
Thanks in advance

Thank you sberman, yes the first thing I did was check my iPod. Instant synching works great between the iPad and iPod, so it was deleted there as well. On both devices I have my Notes account to the same account.
I ashamedly have not synched to iTunes for ages. After I calmed down I realized that most of the info on that deleted Note I had copied and pasted from an excel file in November. I'm in the process of doing that again, and am only out the recent info.

After I make a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately is emailed to my email address and disappears from notes. How can I make it stay on notes?

After I write a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately emails it to my email account and erases it from the note pad. How do I make it stay on the notepad? I don't particularly want it emailed to me.

I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
"if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
"if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

I had to reset my iPad to get it working and I lost all of my stored notes on the Notes app. I had Notes backed up in iCloud, but I do not know how to retrieve the backed up notes in iCloud to get them to be stored on my iPad again. What do I do?

I need help retreiving my notes from the Notes app in the iCLoud because I had to reset my iPad to get it working after i uploaded the latest version of IOS7. Can someone help me?

Hey ebe301,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with your PC. If you are not seeing your iPhone on your computer, then take a look at the link below to walk you through getting that working again. It will have you verify that drivers are installed and working as well as any third party software that may be causing conflicts.
