Spotlight doesn't work on iPhone 4 IOS5

spotlight doesn't work!!! It doesn't find contact using MAIL field or NOTES field or any other, expect NAME of contact!!!
Any sugestion???
iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0

No, changing the settings doesn't affect the problem. When it's working —for that one search you get after rebooting—it honors the settings and searches only checked items ... so I don't believe it's a settings issue.
But after that single search (if you get that) it simply shuts down and stops working. No results of any kind from any area.
Nada. Zilch. Zippo.
I do have many apps and used the search as a way to quickly jump to an app instead of swiping through numerous screens. This is killing me. Hoping the fix is released soon; having searched the web on the issue, I see that it affects a great many users of ios5.

IPhone 3G ver 3.1 - spotlight doesn't work with accessory connected anymore

Hello,
I've been using iPhone 3G for quite a long time now and everything was fine until a recent update to OS ver. 3.1... I've noticed, that spotlight doesn't work now as it worked before... The thing is that I'm using iPhone as a phone and a source of music in my car. I connect it to Pioneer car audio system via USB. Before 3.1 update I was able to search for a song in spotlight and when I tapped it - it just played via car speakers. Now it doesn't do anything. I keep tapping, but nothing happens. The only way to play a song - disconnect iPhone from Pioneer, find song in spotlight, tap on a song to launch it and connect iPhone to Pioneer while the song is playing.
Well, I have a workaround, but it requires both of my hands... But it's kind of unsafe to do so while driving... Could someone confirm spotlight working while connected to any accessory?.. Maybe I'm the only one having this issue and iPhone restore would help?.. I just don't want to restore without any reason...
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi to the forum. This is my first post - ever!
It's taken me 25 years of Apple equipment purchase and enthusiastic advocation to get to this point.
And what has got me here? 'The GPS on my iPhone 3G has doesn't work'. If you Google this statement you get 12 million hits. It seems to me that's probably 12 million people who have a problem with an Apple product they've purchased.
I've read a lot of the solutions that other users have come up with - dozens of different ones. I've updated the iPhone software as soon as I can, I've been patient, I've given Apple chance to sort it out. I've even gone back to printing out Google maps onto paper (remember 'paper') and taken those out with me in the car to find my way around town.
However - the southern hemisphere summer is coming and I want to use the (totally brilliant) Navionics chart/GPS App on the boat. No chance. According to the iPhone we're in Africa not New Zealand.
So what to do? I can't find any 'official' info from Apple. I've no idea how the politics of these situations work - and I don't care! 12 million hits can't be wrong. Apple needs to tell it's users what is happening (even if they're still working on it), and when we can expect a fix.
Come on Apple, keep us in the loop - we love your products - and we want to keep advocating for you!
PS - this is the best place I could find to have ths little discusion - if anyone has a more direct line to God (err I mean Apple) please let me know!

Keynote Remote Doesn't work with iPhone, iPad

Hi,
I have the latest versions of Keynote on my iPhone 5S, iPad 4 and MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display.
All three devices on the same WiFi network. Using WiFi I was able to remotely control/play the presetatnion between iPhone 5S and MacBook.
However, it doesn't work between iPhone 5S and iPad 4. Any help ?
I tried Bluetooth as well. They seem to not discover each other and neither able to remote control.
Any tips ?
Thanks.

After having to upgrade to the latest version of iOS Keynote (because I edited one of my presentations online through iCloud), I received the message that Keynote Remote is to be discontinued. The alternative they offer is to download Keynote onto your iPhone as they have integrated the remote feature into the full program.
The problem that I found is that space is more of a premium on my iPhone than my iPad and I don't use the full program on the iPhone, as the remote app takes only 3MB and the full app? 444MB.
I hope Apple receive similar complaints about this as nearly half a Gig for what will amount to a remote for Keynote is preposterous. I have already purchased my 16GB 5S, it's not as if I can put more memory in it now.

You don't update using *228 on devices with Sim cards on Verizon. IIRC it'll update automatically or after a restart.

Video call doesn't work on iphone 6 iOS 8.1.3

I have a iphone 6 with iOS 8.1.3, updated skype to version 5.10, all functions works fine but video call. the icon of video call doesn't respond (it stays blue when you click it), camera was turned on in setting also under privacy, I can use camera to take my photo for screen photo, that means the camera was setting correctly, but only video call doesn't work, can anyone help? Thanks a lot in advance.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Menu bar date and time is flashing and spotlight doesn't work

Help! My menu bar date and time in top right corner suddenly started flashing and Spotlight doesn't seem to work. It would normally appear just below the date and time. Is this a known issue? 10.4.7 on a 1 GHz G4 (eMac).
Any ideas - I tried restarting with no difference.

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your Finder and Spotlight work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

WebScan doesn´t work with iPhone browser

The C4780 web interface for scanning is very practical because no driver installation on computer is required for scanning. Just point any web browser to its internal web server, start the scanning process and download the scaned image as a regular element on a web page, all using web standards, right?
Well, wrong for the iPhone browser.
For some reason, the C4780 (and probably other HP multifunction firmware) has incomaptible/untested Javascript/HTML that doesn´t work with the iPhone browser.
On preview action I´m getting a question mark box.
On scan action - where a new browser window would open on a desktop - I get nothing.
Please fix that. It could be very useful for me since I can simply scan stuff directly to my iPhone without having to open a computer.
I also posted this message under Scanning Faxing and copying.
Thank you,
Avi

On the iPhone, go to Settings...Safari...Turn Blocked PopUps off.
Worked for me with a PhotoSmart C4700.
It would be even nicer to have a simple iPhone app instead of using Safari.

Irony: Concierge doesn't work on iPhone

Ahh, the irony.
The Apple Concierge, the app you use to make a genius bar appointment, doesn't work on the iphone.
Somehow I managed to make an appointment, but I had to use the 'go' button in the keypad because the 'next' button is usually dimmed.
I shouldn't be that surprised: The ADC page on developing web content for the iPhone at <http://developer.apple.com/iphone/designingcontent.html> is unreadable on the iPhone as well.

Add this to your <head> tags.

I've changed my ID mail and now iCloud doesn't work on iPhone

I've changed my ID mail and now iCloud doesn't work. Everything is working, even if I access to iCloud from Safari (with my new ID) but i have the problem on my iPhone and iPad.
It keeps asking my password and the mail is the one i had before, it's like it didn't change. I've tried both passwords, old and new and no solution. I've changed twice the password thinking it would be the problem and still isn't working.
So now I can't do anything because there's no password to access so i can't even delete my iCloud account.
Is there anything i can do to make it work? It's weird that everything works except this.
Thanks
P.S.: Sorry for my english, it's not very good.

Alright, please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here: http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.

Artist scroll doesn't work on iphone 6

Just got my new iphone 6. In itunes the scroll function on the right of the screen doesn't work when searching by artist.
Anyone else having this issue?

See: iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Apple Support
If that doesn't fix it make an appointment at a Genius bar to get the phone replaced under warranty.

Headphone pause / play / FF button doesn't work on iphone 3g

I cant get the button on my headphones to work. I have tried other headphones but this still doesnt help. Is there a setting for this button?

I have the same problem here.
I have an Iphone 16Gb firm 1.1.3 , my headphones button (start/stop - skip) works ONLY if i leave the headphone's jack plugged in the phone in STANDBY mode.
In other words : Iphone in standby mode - plug the headphones - wake button - slide unlock ... everything perfect hedphones button works correctly.
On the contrary if : Iphone in standby mode - wake button - slide unlock - and THEN plug the hadphones ... the headphone's button doesn't work !!!
I don't make any restore also because i'm not sure that it can fix the problem and i don't want to loose all my notes - sms etc.
I will do only if i will be sure that restore can fix this annoying issue.
Thank you very much for any suggestion !

N.B. Sorry for my bad english,but is not my natural language !

Why the msn messenger doesn't work on iphone

why msn messenger doesn't work with my iphone

M$ will never give code to people to compile it for the iPhone (M$ hates open source stuff) and they probably want people to use Windows Mobile, of which MSN is a feature.
Mercury/aMSN may one day be ported to iPhone (when Apple does the SDK in Feb) and Apple may even do an iChat for it. You can still use web-based communicators in the meantime.
Also, you may be surprised to know your iPhone functions as a phone - why not call the people you wanna talk to?
