Spotlight doesn't show Web, Wikipedia, Maps results. Handoff breaks Mail.

Hi everyone,
I just upgraded my rMBP (2014) to 10.10. The features I was looking forward to most are currently not working for me. Maybe you can help or report similar issues.
1) When using spotlight, it does not show any results from the web, no Bing search results, no Wikipedia entries. It also doesn't show any places via the maps application. Notably, the spotlight settings panel does not show an option to search wikipedia or maps, it does, however, have an entry for bing web search results. I tried unchecking everything except bing results, but still couldn't get spotlight to show anything. Is this a known problem or is something wrong at my end?
2) I started composing an email on my IPhone (6, running 8.0.2) and was happy to see the handoff icon appear in the dock. Clicking it, however, resulted in Mail opening a new message composition window which first started to load (forever) before eventually crashing (Application stopped responding). This issue can be replicated (in fact I have run into it every single time I tried).
Having seen 6(?) beta versions and still having major, feature breaking bugs in the final product is quite disappointing. The argument "hey, it's free, what do you expect?" doesn't count.
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Chris

Most probably web/wikipedia searches in spotlight are only available in select countries. Doesn't work here in India.

  • Spotlight no longer showing "web search" feature

    Hello all,
    I just upgraded to Yosemite and everything looks great so far except for 1 thing that I used a lot in previous OS X versions.
    I used to open spotlight and type my internet (google) search there and just click on web search. Ever since I upgraded I can no longer find that feature although Its marked as checked under system preferences, spotlight, bring web searches.
    Any help?
    Thanks

    you have to include system files in a search. they are excluded by default. enter command+f in finder to start finder search. click on "kind", scroll and click on "other". in the resulting popup select "system files" and change the setting to include them in the search. if you want to make this default see this macosx hint

    Tap the type of problem you want to report.

  • Find all doesn't show all in search results

    when I run find all on a string of text I need to change the
    search results list displays six documents. The status bar however
    indicates
    "Done. 6 items found in 731 documents."
    Why don't I see 731 entries in the search results? How do I
    know if DW will update all 731 items if I do a global search and
    replace?
    Thanks!

    > "Done. 6 items found in 731 documents."
    The above means it search 731 documents.
    It found the string in only 6 of them.
    so there are only six listings in the Results panel.

  • HT204053 Calendar shows up on i Cloud but it doesn't show any appointments.  No problem with mail or Contacts.  Anybody else having this problem?

    I have spend days trying to figure out why my appointments don't show up on the iCloud calendar.  iCal on my Mac is just fine, all appointments are visible and working.  I can get contacts on iCloud and Mail on iCloud but calendar shows up with no appointments.  Help !

    I have this same problem. However, if I enter all my appointments on the iCloud calendar, they magically show up on my macbook air calendar.
    I think the problem might be something to do with different logons. I have just bought this macbook air and when I transferred my old computer's data onto the new computer, time machine via migrantion assistant, it forced me to create a different user for the old data. The new identity automatically created by the new OS syncs to iCloud, but not the old data identity. Since I have all my data on the old identity, I want to keep using this. But how to get it to sync to iCloud? Can anyone help us? I can't see my mail on iCloud either - at least not from the old identity.

  • Spotlight shows the result of old files doesn't shows words definition

    Hi all,
    I am sick of my spotlight searchings, firstly it doesn't shows the latest file result as if i create a new document file it doesn't shows its existence and the matter inside that file plus one more than previously i used my spotlight for words definition which came from dictionary now it also doesn't shows that thing as well, from different forums i have search that for re indexing put the hd drive into spotlight preference privacy and than delete that, what i did i drag the hd drive into privacy setting quit spotlight preference and system preference and than open again spotlight preference and in the privacy tab it's nothing there the drive which i just added a few minutes back it was not there so how would i delete it again for re-indexing. i am running mac os x 10.6.6. Pleas help Me thanks =)

    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. (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.

  • Search in Mail doesn't show results after Migrating

    If I search for a word or an adr. in Mail nothing show up. Unless I've just read the mail. Like that newly read email is the only one being searched in ..?
    This happened after moving my user account to a new MacPro with Migration Assistant.
    (first a clean install of 10.7 on a new disk in bay 1 on the "new" MacPro and updating to 10.7.5 - Starting up from the new disk with my "old" HD in bay 2 on the new machine and using Migration Assistant to move all my data over to the new disk in bay 1)
    Same Mac OSX version, but MacPro version from 1.1 to 3.1
    Also Spotlight doesn't show results.
    Is there a way to make a new "search cache" or whatever that overview file is called ...
    Suddenly now, when not getting any search results, I see how much I use search in Mail and Spotlight ... !
    Thanks

    Try posting this in the 10.7 Mail forum. You'll get more help there.

  • HT2693 How come my apple map doesn't show the map on apple standard map.. However, it does work on google map. I was trying to close the apple maps, restart, and many other ways but still didn't work. Please help me.

    A standard map on my iPhone 4s is suddenly not working. It shows the blue dot but it doesn't show the actual Map where I can see the streets.
    I don't know how to fix this problem. I did try so many ways even restarted iPhone but still not working... Please help me out.

    Hi JinHDK,
    Yes I worked previously but it's now not working. I did double click home botton and terminate the maps many time but still not working.
    The standard maps just not show any route only the blue dot (my location.)  I really don't know what to do. Btw, I used to live in SF but now I'm traveling to Thailand. One of my friend is using iPhone 4S as well but his maps is working. So I guess it is about its application on my phone...
    Thank you.

  • SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesnt show up in Search results

    SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesn't show up in Search results, Incremental crawl is working fine, i.e., its picking up newly added records in table to the Search, but the newly added content is not available in search
    results page.
    But when i do a Full Crawl, search results are showing up with appropriate content.
    What could be the issue here?
    Suresh Kumar Udatha.

    This time on the Full crawl I got only 62 warnings and 12 errors and ~537.000 success. Warnings were about truncating the crawl documents because their content length exceed the configured for crawl. The 12 errors were "Processing this item failed because
    of a timeout when parsing its contents." and "The content processing pipeline failed to process the item.". I think 12 errors is not much to re-execute full crawl. Site collection has one SP Site Group (with Read Permission Level). In this site group I have
    only one AD Group added, so permission change is not a possible reason for re-crawl, plus nobody changed anything in this ad group. All documents are stored in 2 document libraries and there are no sub-sites. I want to access these documents trough search
    (custom managed property restriction kql) but this way I have no mechanism to fast re-crawl only error documents from the first full-crawl (those 12). This is very strange and put SP 2013 Search almost unusable for my scenario.
    Thanks,

  • Why Mail doesn't show content of emails?

    Since some days Apple Mail doesn't show always the content of an e-mail message. In the window at the right hand of the columns with folders and incoming mail and in the fullscreen mode only the headers (To, From, Subject) are visible, not the content (text, images, attachments). If there is an attachment, I can see that by clicking 'show in Quicklook'.
    The problem started a couple of days ago. And sometimes Mail shows the content after receiving an e-mail, immediately after a first view no more.
    Rebuilding the mailbox doesn't change this.
    Thanks for your suggestions to solve this problem.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Safari doesn't show after installation

    Hi folks,
    I want to try the new safari 4. So I went to apple.com, downloaded the .dmg and installed the program as usual until it showed the usual message to be successfully completed. Thatafter I can only find the package and installation-drive to install it once more, but no safari among my applications or program/item to move there. I tried spotlight but it only shows some safari-stuff in some metadata-folders in some library-folders.
    Now already repeated the whole procedure, downloaded and installed it again, but nothing to work with.
    If anybody can help me with what is wrong I'd be really thankful.
    Kind regards to all helpers

    Hi ~Bee.
    Well the last Safari app I had was in the application folder, if that is what you mean. It worked out but didn't satisfy me completely, so I have been prefering Firefox so far and now want to give Safari another try. Safari had been removed and currently there has been no Safari app on my OSX. I even searched the trash bin, to see if there still is an app which now got updated - even though I can't really imagine. The only non-meta-data about safari is the .dmg, and it is still in the downloads-folder.
    Right now I searched my disk again and spotlight doesn't show anything new or different than in the first post above.

  • Help Menu Spotlight does no show in App if language is not English

    I have an App that you can change the language of it, and restart it, and it will open in the desired language. I have folders for each language helps files in the bundle (as described by the apple help doc). However, only for the English language the system provided help menu is showing the Search bar or the Spotlight. If I open the app in a different language, Spotlight doesn't show in the help menu.
    My OS language is English, could that be the reason?
    I have also indexed the localized help files. I also added in the Info.plist the help folder name and the help folder main htm file but I am not sure if that is working correctly.
    My help book is not very traditional, it is just an htm file.
    I want spotlight to show in help menu for consistency, even if it doesn't search in help book.
    At least it will look among the menu items, like it does in English.
    thanks,

    I have the following structure in the bundle:
    Contents/Reosources
    en.lproj
    help.helpindex
    myapphelp.htm
    es.lproj
    help.helpindex
    myapphelp.htm
    In the code, I have this:
    JMenu helpMenu = new JMenu(MessageUtils.lookupMessage("menu.help"));
    helpMenu.setName(MessageUtils.lookupMessage("menu.help.name"));
    MenuListener menuListenerHelp=new MenuAdapter(helpMenu);
    helpMenu.addMenuListener(menuListenerHelp);
    if (!PlatformManagement.isMac())
    helpMenu.setMnemonic(MessageUtils.lookupMnemonic("menu.help.mnemonic"));
    inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("alt "+MessageUtils.lookupMessage("menu.help.mnemonic")), helpMenu);
    helpAction = new HelpAction(this, "action.help");
    if (PlatformManagement.isMac()) {
    initMacHelpAccelerator(myframe.getRootPane(), helpAction);
    JTIMenuItem helpItem = new JTIMenuItem(helpAction);
    helpMenu.add(helpItem);

  • SetVisible(true) but doesn't show up

    What I'm trying to do is get the writeAll panel to show up when they click the Write button in the menu.
