Spotlight searchs for English apps and not Spanish

Hi,
Some macs I own have a very estrange problem. A can use spotlight for finding everything but no Spaniard words for Applications. for instance, if I use spotlight for searching "address book", no problem at all but if I search for "agenda", which is the Spaniard word for address book it won't find it in applications.
This only happens in spotlight, but not in finder, where all the apps have their Spaniard name correctly and of course I have the system in Spanish.
How can I solve this?
Thanks

I've recently change my Apple ID email so I've recently went to the App Store to download some apps that I've bought a while ago and none of them are showing. I've also searched for the app and wants me to buy it again.

Do you remember the old Apple ID and password? If so try using that.
Otherwise contact support at the App Store:

Help!! I recently erased my settings and after backing up via iCloud, I cannot open some apps. They look as if they are updating, but I cannot delete them. I can open them if I go through the app store and search for the app and click "open." what do I do

I can't seem to figure out why I can't delete and redownload my apps. I'm very confused. I've tried turning my phone on and off, and doing a soft reset.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Spotlight search for AppleWorks Database and Tables

Hello,
how can i make Spotlight to search in AppleWorks-Database and AppleWorks-Tables?
Thanks
Achim

As Yvan says, Spotlight doesn't search these files directly.
I have many AppleWorks Database files, some of which are regularly updated. My preferred workaround method to take advantage of Spotlight is to make pdf files as I find them better for searching than text files. (You can retain the layout of your database, and also list all the occurrences of the search item in the file.)
For each AppleWorks Database I do the following:
• Make a new layout and name it "For pdf".
• Put all the data fields I might want to search in that layout
• Make the layout black & white only (i.e. black text on a white background) to keep the file size small.
• Save that layout as a pdf file using Print => Save as pdf
Of course when I add a significant amount of data to a particular database file, I need to make a new pdf to replace the present one.

Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

Thank you.

I found the answer just after posted this. Thanks to a user named CloudWalker. Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

Desktop is black and dock disappeared. I have to use spotlight search to open apps. How do i fix this?

My desktop is black and the dock is not on my screen. I have to use the spotlight search to open apps. When i log in guest user everything works fine. It's only my account. How can i fix this?

open spotlight and type the name of any folder. Select it. A finder window will open. Basically you just need a finder window. right click on the title of the window. You will get a dropdown menu. Select the name of your hard disk ( most probably "Macintosh HD") now you will see a folder named system alongside applications, users, library, etc. click on the system folder. Then click on the library folder which is the only folder that appears once you get inside system folder.
now scroll down and find CoreServices folder. Open it and then find dock.app and open it.

Spotlight search for text messages not working

After upgrading to ios8, I discovered that the spotlight search for text messages only "sees" my last two texts but not any of the others I have on my phone. These are all active conversations, not deleted messages. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

I Fixed mine by going to setting->General->Sptolight and unchecking "messages", exiting the function then returning and rechecking "messages".

Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

I'm trying to pay for an app and it keeps on saying that my card number does not match !!

Okay, update the payment details in iTunes. Seems simple and straightforward enough.

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly? I used to search for a name and it would find it in All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,
anne
