Spotlight no longer working on iPad 4, iOS7

I am installed iOS 7 on my iPad 4. Now Spotlight is no longer working. I do not get any results.
Searching for "mail" or a contact does not show anything. Spotlight is enabled in the preferences
for all existing information types. How to proceed?

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then restart your iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
No data is lost due to a reset.

After updating to OSX 10.7.3, my search (spotlight) no longer works. Is there a fix for this?

Have you tried going to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy and dragging your hard drive into the box then drag it back. That will trigger a re-index.

Video no longer works on iPad. My videos, you tube, Netflix, news casts, nothing works.

Try this and see if it fixes it for you. Close all apps in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the app icons. Tap the home button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Emoji no longer works since upgrading to iOS7.

I'm having a weird problem ever since I upgraded to iOS7. For some reason, my emoji no longer works. It works parially. When I hit the globe on the keyboard, I can see them all and choose which one I want to send, but I can no longer type ":)" to get a smiley face and so on. When I do, it'll actually send ":)". I also can't receive any from others when they type ":)". These are the same people I've always communicated with. It worked used to work just fine. This is happening on my 4s and my iPad 2 ever since I upgraded them to ios7. I tried removing the keyboard from the settings and rebooting the phone, then readding the keyboard. No dice.
It's very annoying to have to switch keyboards everytime I wanna send something as simple as a smiley face. If anyone has any idea how to solve this, it'd be much appreciated.

The ":)" to has never been a feature in iOS unless you use Mavericks and/or a keyboard shortcut for changing between emoji on the iPhone.

Itunes no longer works on ipad on version 6 software

My I tunes 10.6.1 no longer works with my upgraded software ipad 2 on version 6 stating my mac needs a higher operating system (currently on 10.5.8) to then upgrade I tunes 10.7. I can no longer use my ipad with itunes simply because I have an older mac operating system. An upgrade on the mac operating system is a lot of money . There is no roll back of ipad software from 6 to the original to cure this

The upgrade to the Mac is around $30.00 if it is still available. You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I think that's the latest SL version.
I copied this from another discussion.
Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).
Here is the discussion.

Hotmail no longer working on ipad or mac.

I had to get a replacement ipad and hotmail connection ceased to work after restore. Try to reconfigure, but unsuccessful. Now MS has locked me out of my hotmail profile do to a "code of conduct" violation. Also my connection to hotmail from my Mac Pro no longer works. No email explanation from MS.

Hotmail was down earlier today, but it should be working again now.

HP LaserJet Professional M1217nfw no longer works with ipad/iphone's coupons.com and Grocery IQ apps

I have had this printer for several years. It worked flawlessly until a unilateral automatic HP firmware update bricked it at the beginning of last year. After months of inactivity, it started working again last week after I deleted and reinstalled everything from scratch.
Everything is back the way it was -- except the two apps I really value no longer work with it.
My iphone and ipad -- which both worked flawlessly with this printer for years -- now do not see the printer at all for several minutes and then it finally appears with a red warning button that says "printer not recognized"
I have not upgraded any OS. The only thing that changed was on HP's end.
I tried deleting and reinstalling the apps. No change.
I have HP's eprint software, but that does not help with these apps, as they use an internal printing mechanism and the actual coupon with the bar code is never visible on screen (and thus unable to be printed via another method).
This question was solved.

Hi @krenster
Welcome back to the HP Support Forums. I understand that there are two apps that no longer work with Apple’s AirPrint feature.
I know you didn’t mention that you were getting this error, but the troubleshooting steps for “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” in the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs document should help resolve the issue.
If the above doesn’t help, to better assist you, would you please supply some additional information?
How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
Are you able to print from other apps that support AirPrint?
What version of iOS are you using on your Apple mobile device? I’m asking because apps will send out updates making them no longer functional with older operating systems. For example the HP ePrint app on iTunes was updated on October 25, 2014 and now requires the iOS device to be a minimum of iOS 6.0 or later. I have checked the two apps you mention in the thread title, and the Grocery IQ app requires your Apple device to be a minimum of iOS 6.0 or later and the coupons.com app requires your Apple device to be a minimum of iOS 7.0 or later. If you are unsure how to check this, please follow the steps in Apple’s iPhone, iPad, iPod: How to find the software version
Has there been any changes to your network, such as a new router, or a new internet provider?
Thank you.
Regards,

Moved to a new Mac and Spotlight no longer works

I've just upgraded from a 20in G5 to a new 24in Intel and used a Firewire lead to transfer all my data.
Everything ran smoothly but now I find that Spotlight does not work on the new Mac - it just chugs away without doing anything.
How can I fix this?
Thanks
Phil

hi there,
I am experiencing a similar problem.
All of a sudden my spotlight stopped working.
It did that after I have tried in many ways to make NTFS-3G work, to recognize an external HD configured in NTFS.
I have read all below.
In Activity Monitor MDS does not show.
When I launch Spotless a big red signal shows "SPOTLIGHT IS NOT ACTIVE".
"Master Indexing Status" is in RED and shows a message "Spotlight Content Indexing is Inactive".
I have tried to backup hostconfig file, but it shows SPOTLIGHT -YES- normally.
I really don't know what to try.
Please help.
Thanks

Had to update my Apple ID. It no longer works on iPad.

Here's the situation. I created an Apple ID on an iPad. A few days ago I got an iPhone and went to sign in with that ID. I got a messages saying that, for added security, My Apple ID needs to be an email address. So, I put in my email address and it said Sorry, that email is already in use. Yeah, no kidding, it is the ID I am trying to associate with my iPhone!
Long story short, I had to use a different email address and now I have two IDs. Now my ID on my iPad refuses to work despite me putting in the correct password. Is there any way to link these two accounts so that they are under one ID?

If it's the ID on the iPad that is in error use the Settings app to sign out of that ID. Then sign in with the correct Apple ID.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the incorrect Apple ID > sign out
Then sign in with the correct Apple ID.

Beats Pill 2.0 No Longer Works on iPad 2

My iPad 2 no longer connects to the Beats Pill. Why did it all of sudden stop? I have an iPad 2 (IOS 7.1) and Beats Pill 2.0.
It used to work on the iPad, but recently stopped. It still works with my Windows Nokia phone, so I know the Beats Pill is OK.

This is the AppleTV fourm. If you have a problem with an iPad or iPhone you would need to post your question in a fourm for those products.

My speaker no longer works in Ipad 2 after 7.1.1 update

I recently updated my ipad 2 to ios 7.1.1 and my speaker stopped working,one day everything worked fine, the next no speaker, I am not a happy camper. The volume control no longer controls the volume only sound effects and the mute button only controls screen lock or sound effects mute.
if I plug in headphones then my volume controls return and it works fine, but disappears once I remove the headphones.
I have tried, rebooting, resetting, etc, followed half a dozen "fixes" online, none work of course.
took my device to the apple store on the opposite side of town, waited in line to speak to someone who tells me a) I need to make an appointment to see an expert, which is what I thought I was standing in line for. B) if its a speaker they need to replace my device and it will cost me $250 for a 32GB Ipad, or I could go online and use chat, but apparently my warranty is out so they wanted $20 to answer my question thru chat or phone, to tell me my warranty is out and I need to pay $250 for a new one.
I don't understand why I need to pay $250 for something APPLE did to my device, especially seeing multiple complaints online for the same issue.
can anyone help me? Can I rollback the firmware? This is ridiculous.

Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

SD card reader no longer works on iPad 3.

After I downloaded the 8.1.3 operating system onto my iPad 3, the iPad no longer recognized my SD card reader. The card reader is an Apple product, purchased at the same time as the iPad and has worked fine for the years I've had it. I have tried substituting another card reader accessory and another SD card. Same results.

My ipad is no longer keeping copies of the yahoo emails I leave in my Inbox. It's only downloading New emails and once those have been opened they are no longer accessible. The other mail accounts that I have set up on IPad still work find. Any ideas?

Have you looked at the advanced setting for you Yahoo mail account. There you can select when you want read emails to be deleted. Options vary from Never to one day. Maybe it changed somehow

Microsoft exchange no longer works with ipad and iphone

Have the new ipad and iphone 4. Software 6.1.3. Since two days email and calender are no longer synchronised and it is impossible to send email. We use microsoft exchange server and Outlook. Up till 2 days ago all worked perfectly and settings have not been changed.
Ipad and iphone have connection with the internet (wlan). On desktop PC and laptop email sending and receiving is no problem.
I did reset both without result.

I think part of this is on Apple's End. I found this article I hope you find it helpful to you and I will look more into it.
