Spotlight failing to index all items after 10.5 upgrade

I have found an issue (at least on my computer) where Spotlight does not index all items (in this case folders) on the local hard drive. I confirmed this by searching for a known folder and having Spotlight produce no results when searching for it. I then renamed the folder with a name such as "folder_old" and then created a new folder under 10.5 with the original name. I then moved the contents of the previous folder to the new one and then Spotlight successfully finds the folder. Here's the problem...I am a long time Mac user and I have thousands of folders. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
I also feel Apple should allow users to select if they are searching for a file name or contents prior to the start of the find in the spotlight menu bar. Give the users some options.

Spotlight failed to index iWork documents

I have noticed that with Lion Spotlight was not indexing the content of iWork 09 documents. It does find the filenames, but if you search for a term that is inside the document, Spotlight will not find it. I've tested this thoroughly, creating specifc documents for the purpose, etc, and the result is clear, the content of iWork 09 documents is not indexed, only the filenames are.
I have tried forcing Spotlight to reindex the HD volume, but the problem is still there. Have run disk verification and persmisisons repaire and still no good. I can't say if the problem was there from day one I installed Lion (about a week ago) or if it is something that happened more recently.
Is anyone else having similar problems? Any idea of a solution?

Go to sys preferences / spotlight privacy tab and add your internal drive to the list there, then subtract it after a minute or so. you should see the spotlight indexing indicator after that and the machine will re-index. After that, try again and let us know!

Lost all photos after latest software upgrade and no history in time machine.....

lost all photos after latest software update and no time machine history available. What happend and what to do? Other software programs (Quicken, etc.) are ok and content retained. Can't figure it out....

You can browse your time machine drive and copy all the files back manually.

Can't find airport to turn it on, lost wifi and all addresses after a software upgrade

i can't find airport to turn it on, lost wifi and all ip addresses after a software upgrade on my iMac

1. Does the WiFi icon in preferences have a yellow triangle with an exclamation point?
2. Do you have physical access to the Airport router?
3. WiFi through local cable company - does that mean you have a Cable company device which also has WiFi built-in AND also have an Airport router?
4. Under About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Network, do you see any wifi adapters? Usually a grey wifi icon in the menu bar implies that it has been turned off. If you Turn Wifi On in System Preferences -> Network -> WiFi, does the menu bar icon show you any change in the wifi icon?

Spotlight fails to load, constantly crashes after Time Machine restore

Problem description:
After having made the mistake of running a Unix command that altered more files than I intended and possibly damaged the file system, I decided to restore to a previous state with Time Machine. (By the way I am running Yosemite.)
Evidently, something was corrupted with the latest backup, since the system said it couldn’t restore every time I tried to use it. But I succeeded with the second newest backup.
Since the restoration, the Spotlight icon has disappeared from the corner of the menu bar, and cannot be activated with keyboard shortcuts. The same problem exists whether I start in safe mode or from a fresh account.
The .app file still exists in CoreServices, and indexing appears to continue, as I am able to conduct searches through finder windows. I have tried emptying all the caches, restarting SystemUIServer and the menubar itself.
I have never, to my knowledge, instructed an application or the computer to hide Spotlight from the menubar. And though I doubt this is the issue, it is interesting that when I select in Onyx the option to hide it, and then deselect it, there’s a short little flash in the corner where the icon should be as if it tries to start for a moment but for whatever reason crashes.
It appears from the console that every second it is trying to load when this happens:

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

FI_ITEMS_MASS_CHANGE failing to update all items of BSEG

Hi All,
I am facing problem using FM FI_ITEMS_MASS_CHANGE while updating multiple line items of BSEGfor text and assignment.The program is posting FI document by calling transaction FB05. The requirement is to update all the itmes of clearing document with predefined text , assignment which is coming from excel.
The program currently gets the clearing doc number from FB05; gets the BSEG table entries and loops the items one by one. For every loop of BSEG the FM FI_ITEMS_MASS_CHANGE is called to update text and assignment fields in corresponding item of BSEG.So expectedly all the items should be updated with the text , asignment.
But problems is that only first item is updated and rest are not updated. I have added wait time of 5 seconds to avoid locking of tables in case if any. But still the change is not working. The results after wait time additon are inconsistent. In developemnt the changes worked for 7-8 items while it failed in quality even for only 2 items.
The FM possibly calls FB02 internally. Is there any locking happening?
Anybody has any suggestion?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Chirdip

Hi,
I am also facing the same problem while updating ZUONR filed in BSEG.
FI_ITEMS_MASS_CHANGE is not updating all the line items in bseg. I called the FM inside loop-endloop at item table.
Still few items(randomly) are updating in first executuion of my program. Few in 2nd execution an so on.
I tried using COMMIT WORK and WAIT statements after calling the FM, but of no use!!
Please suggest is there any other way to update all the items in a single execution??
Otherwise do I have to go for BDC on FB02 ??
Thanks,
Sagar

Spotlight failing to Index drive

I currently have problems, with spotlight indexing drives.
I've gone to spotlight preferences and added the drive using the privacy tab, then removed it to "re-index" the drive but i still see spotlight in the top right hand corner "estimating index time" on the drive.
I've left the computer on overnight with no change.

HI,
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file: com.apple.spotlight.plist to the Trash and restart your Mac.

IPod failing to sync all songs after restore

My 3rd gen. click wheel (20 gb) basically has one foot in the grave, but I don't want to buy a new one so I'm desperately trying to get this one to work.
I've had to restore this iPod about 5 times so far. I've done that on my Windows XP machine and my Vista machine. Same outcome for both. I get the restore completed and then I want to sync it again and load all my music on it. It starts to sync just fine. I have around 3600 songs and before this total fiasco, the iPod worked just fine with the same music. I get to song 220 or so and it just stops and iTunes freezes.
Just recently when I did this same routine hoping for a better outcome, I got to song 1700 or so and then it froze. The iPod froze too with the "Do not disconnect." notice still on the screen. There is no icon blinking. I did eject it from iTunes safely, but it still has the frozen screen on. I tried to reconnect the iPod, but my computer doesn't recognize it and it doesn't show up in My Computer.
I was going to go through the same routine to restore it again, but my computer won't recognize the iPod, iTunes doesn't recognize it, my iPod is frozen and it won't reset. I even tried to charge it to see if the message will change. It didn't.
I'm all out of ideas. Anyone else have any?

If it has a click wheel and a 20GB drive, it's a 4th gen.
It is possible that the iPod's hard drive is going bad. Two things you can try...
First, use Windows to reformat the iPod's hard drive. You can do so in a My Computer or Windows Explorer window. Don't use any quick format options; use a full format. It is possible that this procedure will error out or otherwise not complete (for the same reason there is a problem with syncing). But if it does complete, run iTunes and immediately use the Restore button to install and initialize the iPod's software. Then try syncing again.
If you still have problems, or formatting does not complete successfully, the other thing you can try is to open the iPod, disconnect the battery, and check the connections between the hard drive and the logic board. There are two connection points. Disconnect them and inspect them for any corrosion. Reconnect them and then the battery, making sure there is no looseness. Before closing the iPod, try doing a Restore again, followed by syncing.
Here is a helpful guide.

Lost all songs after iTunes 7 upgrade

Hi there,
It seems that I was a little too quick in updating this time. iTunes 7 seems to suck !!!
After having several problems with installing Quicktime during installation I finally got everything installed only to find iTunes completely empty !!! Now there are MANY hours of work put into having this program the way I wanted it - any ideas on how to get back to the good old days???
I tried System restore, but that didn't work...
TIA
Jan

It's quite simple. You have your files stored in a different folder than the default one.
In iTunes click on Edit -> Preferances
Click on the Advanced tab
Change the iTunes music folder location.
Follow the prompts to reload most of your old music.
I say most because a few of my purchased items dissapeared, not all and I was able to get all but one back from apple. The one I couldn't get they basically told me tough s*t on.

Lost All data after iPhone 3GS upgrade .. Help needed to RECOVER !!..

Hi ,
I have been backing up my iPhone in my laptop for almost 3 years. My laptop is crashed now.
Today I thought of upgrading the software from my PC. so I installed itunes and upgraded the software.
I am sure it made a copy of back up before doing SOFTWARE update.
But when the update is about to finish. It throwed an error message popup and said update failed.
I got instructions on the display that my iPHONE is been restored.
But after RESTORING, I am not able to see any APPs in my phone. It looks like a clean phone.
I am worried as I have plenty of apps and data on it.
I am able to see several backup with different time when I click RESTORE backup. I almost tried everything and still could nt see the apps.
Is there a way I can restore my old apps with data?
Thanks.

See my solution at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11757732#11757732
It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.

IPAD2 calendar lost all data after 5.1 upgrade

I just upgraded my iPad via iTunes to v5.1 today, and just like my upgrade previously to 5.01, my calendar lost all data. Somehow, I think I was able to recall the data under 5.01 whereby it just magically came back. I don't remember how it came back. How do I get my calendar data back??

1). Re how are u syncing calendar. And "info" : answer: the entire "sync calendars with .....". Box is all gray. When I click a check to the left of Sync, the Outlook field comes alive, and no other choices in that drop down field.
"All calendars" is radio buttoned, and Do not sync events older tha .30. days ischecked.
I'll now leave it like that but since I don't use OUTLOOK on mt laptop I don't see how it wll affect anything .
Further own on th screen, under ADVANCED, checking Calendars. Apparently willrlac "the selected information in this iPad with information from this omputer". I don't know how to interpret this, do you? If I check it it will get information form the computer ? What info? A previous cal data file?
2). Re page 70. If you had not told me (sent a ref URL in one of u'r replies tonite), I wouldn't have even known about the iPad 5.1 manual.
Pager 70 : I read pg 70 and don't see any related advice.
In the meantime, no data, just like the last upgrade problem. Since this is exclusively related to calendar, I must conclude whatever events file that existed was lost in the process. Although the US, FRENCH, AND GERMAN HOLIDAYS DID GET TRANSFERRED! And a recurring event file also (time card every Friday)
Ideas?

Failed to login iCloud-PhotoStream after Apple TV3 upgraded to 6.0

After updating my OS on my Apple tv today, I am unable to sign into my iCloud ID on my apple tv. It lets me put the password in, takes me to the Terms and Agreements page, I click "Agree" and nothing happens, i just keep staying on the Terms and Agreements page. I"ve restored and restarted my Apple TV....I've signed in and out...my iTunes on my apple TV is using a different account but that wasn't a problem before the OS update. I've tried signing into iCloud using the other apple ID (the one from iTunes) and there's no problem there - I click Agree and it takes me to iCloud (only problem I have no photos on that iCloud account - why isn't the original iCLoud ID working? I can log in no problem on my other devices to it.... Any advice??????

I had the same problem. I have solved it this way:
After the Update the "Country" in the Settings was set to "USA", but i'm a german user with. So i changed it back to Germany in the Settings and voila ... I can accept the terms and Photostream is working again
You should change the Country (regional settings?) to your country and then log into the iCloud.
Hope it helps.

Spotlight mysteriously re-indexes after some failed searches?

Well here's an odd one:
About a week ago I had occasion to migrate a "standard" account from one Leopard computer to a fresh Leopard computer where it became the second account on the new machine (after the Admin account). This was done with Migration Assistant and completed without problems.
The original account was inherited from a Tiger 10.4.10 installation on the old machine via a default, "upgrade", install of Leopard.
Spotlight searches of the Home directory of that account worked just fine on the old machine. There is nothing in the Spotlight preferences Privacy list in either the old machine or the new machine. It may be relevant that the old machine was the Powerbook listed in my tag line below. The new machine is a Macbook. I've had no other Spotlight problems on either machine.
Today I had occasion to search for a folder in the Home directory of this account on the new machine. To my surprise, it did not show in the results. OTHER stuff showed up, but not this folder.
So I opened a Finder window and did a Command-f to bring up the search criteria and started playing around with search criteria (specifying "kind" = "folder" for example) to see if I could isolate the problem. Periodically I also retried searching in the regular Spotlight drop down to compare results. The upshot was that it seemed NOTHING in the Home directory of this migrated account had been indexed.
And then, for no obvious reason, and about 5-10 minutes into poking around like this, I discovered Spotlight was "indexing". It had about 20 minutes of indexing to do.
Again, I had not been doing anything in the Spotlight preferences -- just trying different search criteria in the Finder window. So why index now?
When it finished indexing, searches for files or content in the Home directory of this account, either via the Finder window or the Spotlight drop down, all worked fine.
NOW, why should Spotlight decide just at this moment to index this account? The account has been in heavy use on this machine for about week (although I had not had occasion to do searches in it).
And the indexing didn't start until about 5-10 minutes into the search and re-search process trying to explore the limits of Spotlight's "blind spot".
Does Spotlight fail to realize it needs to index a migrated account?
Does Spotlight have some sort of fail safe mechanism where it revisits the need to index things after so many repeated searches or searches with no results?
Mysterious indeed.

Review the hits from a google search for socket(PF_ROUTE). IMO, something's blocking access, most likely mucked up permissions on the server; however, I don't muck with servers or AD and you might be better off perusing MS's forums for AD info.

How to trash using empty securely...It wont emty the trash after i clicked the remove all items?

How to empty trash using emtpty securely, it wont empty the trash after i clicked the remove all items? Using iMac 2011

If all else fails use Utilities> Terminal.
If there are several locked files in the Trash, you can unlock them all at the same time at the command line. Follow these steps:
Open Terminal. It's located in /Applications/Utilities.
Type:
chflags -R nouchg
Type one space (not pictured) after nouchg in the line above, so that it ends in "nouchg ". Do not press Return yet.
Type:chflags -R nouchg Type one space (not pictured) after nouchg in the line above, so that it ends in "nouchg ". Do not press Return yet.
Double-click the Trash icon in the Dock to reveal the contents of the Trash. If necessary, arrange the Finder window so that a portion of the Terminal window is still visible.
Press the Command-A key combination to select all files in the Trash.
Drag the files from the Trash to the Terminal window.
Note: This automatically enters the pathname for each file. This eliminates the need to individually empty multiple Trash directories, particularly when multiple disks or volumes are present.
Press Return. No special text message will be shown indicating that the command was successful.
Empty the Trash.
If the Trash does not empty or if you see a message in Terminal that says "usage: chflags [-R [-H | -L | -P]] flags file..." you most likely did not type the text in step 2 as indicated or did not leave a space. Repeat the steps if this happens.

Custom SharePoint 2010 designer page throws "The data source control failed to execute the insert command" exception while adding the new item after the August 13, 2013 CU has installed

We have the SharePoint Server 2010 with SP1 environment on which the custom SP2010 designer pages were working as expected before the

I have tried changing the "DataSourceMode" as below, now the insert command is working, but update command is not working.

Also, the lookup dropdown fields are displaying the value as "<a href="Daughterhttp://cpsp10/sites/Employees/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=4&ListId={8F62F444-FB6A-4F03-9522-C4696B45DCD1}&ID=10&RootFolder=*">Daughter</a>"
instead of only "Daughter".
Please provide the solution to get rid of this issue.

While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.
<SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="Esittaja" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Esittaja')}"
/>
Explanation:
DataBind operation type parameters (the first parameter) are listed below:
'i' stands for INSERT,
'u' stands for UPDATE,
'd' stands for DELETE.
