Spotlight showing PrefPane extensions

I cloned my MacBook Pro drive to my new iMac, and now my Spotlight results are showing extensions I'm not used to seeing. So, for example, rather than seeing "Sharing" when I search for "sharing", I see "SharingPref.prefPane". I checked the advanced Finder preferences and "Show all filename extensions" is off. Any ideas how to get things back the way there were?

This is a guess, but you might be able to restore the old behavior by having Spotlight rebuild its index. In the Spotlight panel of System Preferences select the "Privacy" tab, then add your boot volume to that list. I'm not sure if it's necessary to close that panel at this point, but it won't hurt. Then reopen the panel and remove the boot drive from that list. Spotlight should now begin reindexing the volume.

Problem with Adobe Extension Manager CC. Does not show installed extensions.

Adobe Extension Manager CC does not show installed extensions for Photoshop CC 2014 or Photoshop CC so that I am unable to uninstall extensions. This means that I cannot install updates to extensions.

Hi JJ - thank you for getting back to me. I got onto an Adobe tech and we tried various things including re-installation of Extension Manager, which didn't fix the problem. We then updated Photoshop (I was one point release back) then re-installed EM and this has fixed the problem.
I did check online and quite a number of people seem to have had this problem, so I guess Adobe has fixed whatever bug was in there.
Thanks!

Spotlight shows completely deleted messages in iOS 8.1

Spotlight shows completely deleted email messages and sms (emails are deleted both from sent and trash) in ios 8.1.
Some emails marked with blue circle (like a new message) and I can open them and see attachments and text.
When open message without blue circle, only Mail App start (or Messages App in case of sms).
I noticed that the blue circle and ability to see all text and attachments in deleted letter appears in the case when during editing letter Swipe Down gesture was used.
Note that the problem affects only sent messages. Incoming removed correctly.
3 iPhones is fully restored as a new, 2 iPads - same situation.
Too bad about the confidentiality of data with this problem. And ios device storege too.

I have the same issue on the iPad

How can I make Spotlight show the file path

How can I make Spotlight show the file path in the Spotlight menu for selected file?

Via Finder certainly, but not in the menu. You can view the file path in the Spotlight search results display by pressing the ⌘ key (while hovering over a file in the results), though. The path will display at the bottom of the Quick Look output, or cycle through that location.

When i search for mp3 files spotlight shows id3 tags instead of filenames as it used to do !!! I DONT want that .. how can i disable it !!!!!???????

when i search for mp3 files spotlight shows id3 tags instead of filenames as it used to do !!! I DONT want that .. how can i disable it !!!!!???????

Sorry, my handful of mp3's had the file name as the id3 tag name.
So, I am seeing the same thing as you.
Oddly, a while back I was trying to help someone out in Mountain Lion that wanted to see the id3 tags in the Finder.
It's all a bit silly. They should have added columns instead or changing it to tag song name.
They are transitioning to having everything reflect the content and not the file system, so this may not be reversible.
The best I think you can do is provide feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Spotlight Show All Results At The Bottom!

In Spotlight, Show All Results used to be at the top. After typing in the query in the Spotlight field, I used to tap on the Up arrow and get right to Show All Results. Quite fast with the keyboard, without even touching the mouse.
Now I have to go to the bottom of the list, either with the mouse or with the down key. S-l-o-w-l-y. Irritating to say the least.
Is there a way to change this and bring Show All Results to the top? Or at least a shortcut to go right to the bottom? Oh that would be nice, just keeping in mind the poor power users… :-)

The result appears at the center unless there are multiple results on the screen and in this case Firefox doesn't scroll to center the next result.
*Bug 171237 - Find in Page: highlighted result should be at the middle of the page (vertically centered) instead of last line/bottom of page

Yosemite Spotlight shows other users' emails!

This is a very serious bug. I use two user accounts on my Mac, one for me and one for my girlfriend. The new Spotlight gives me mail results from my girlfriend's account.
Anyone else getting this?

I have the same problem since Mavericks - and it is also there on a new and fresh clean install of Yosemite.
I spend hours and days for fixing it - but nothing helped......
Heres a video - in german - but i think you will get it:

All sorted. I needed to install the extension manager for CC first, before installing the JSP support extension.

IPhone Jabber client not showing internal extensions just the Alerting Name

I have customer calling from a 7965 to his desk phone 7965 which shows both Alerting Name and Extension, he also has an iPhone/Jabber Client on WiFi (no cellular involved). The iPhone client shows the Alerting Name from the 7965 but doesn’t show the 4 digit internal extension. Is this a known issue?

Dear Miro,
The issue has nothing to do with the server it's the client, Lync 2013 issue with caching data and the way its reading it back from the cache.
Work around:
just create a new client policy using the command new-csclientpolicy with AddressBookAvailability "WebSearch" only.
"New-CsClientPolicy -Identity TestCsPolicy -AddressBookAvailability WebSearchOnly"
assign the policy to your test client, delete cache folder at the client end.
"Grant-CsClientPolicy -Identity MIRO -PolicyNameTestCsPolicy"
"you can delete sign-in information by signing out and clicking on "delete sign-in info" then sing-in again"
test again. it should work.
if it didn't open contact card and check if the the client is getting the data correctly.
yet i didn't find another fix to the issue with lync 2010 client everything works just fine without any changes.
Regards,
Nader Barakat

Import images grid does not show file extension

I use Aperture in a "referenced" mode. At times, I have jpeg files in the same folder as my nef files (which had already been imported into Aperture). The import images list does not have (or I cannot find out how to display) the file name that shows the file extension too. Of the data available, i can scroll to the right and see a lot of different metadata in the list, but not the file extension.
Does anyone know how to have the file extension displayed in the list that is shown when trying to import?
thanks

Aperture can display just about anything you would like to display. The key is putting the correct field into the metadata set for that is being used for the browser or viewer that is active (you can have two ready to go and switch between them or none with a shortcut key)
This should tell you everything you ever didn't want to know

I have ran the extensions manager program & it says they are enabled! but no where to be seen with the PS CC window>extensions !
Help!
....Alan

Hi Alan,
Thanks for this information. Can you also tell me whether or not such folders exist here?:
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Plug-ins/Panels
I've just tried installing those particular products with that version of Photoshop, and this is where they end up.
If the folders aren't there, could you please enable logging as follows and send me the log files at fgregor at adobe dot com?
Create a file called 'ExManCoreLibLog.YES' and place it in the following location:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log/ExManCoreLibLog.YES
Then create a file named 'ExManLog.YES' and place it at:
/Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CC/Adobe Extension Manager CC.app/Contents/MacOS/ExManLog.YES
Both log files are generated and saved in the following location:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log
Many thanks,
Fraser

Spotlight Show All Like in TIger?

In Tiger when I did a spotlight search and clicked show all from the menu it would open a nice list of all the documents still categorized by type. In Leopard I just get one big list and can only choose between contents or name and location. Am I missing something? I know I can do a file find and select the type but it was so much easier in Tiger. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The best you can do is after you select "Show All" change the view of the window to List view and then click the Kind column.

Getting Spotlight "Show All" window to only show emails

In Spotlight's "Show All" window (the same one you get when you Command-F from the Finder) there's a way to select what kind of things you want to see. However, for some reason the "Kind" list doesn't include "Mail Messages". It has "Applications", "Documents", "Folders", etc. but nothing to find emails. I notice that if I choose kind "Other" and type "Mail" in the box, I do see email messages, but it's odd that emails aren't in the list. Anybody know if it's possible to modify the set of things that shows up in the "Kind" list so I can find emails more easily?

Weird. My "Kind" list is Any, Applications, Documents, Folders, Images, Movies, Music, PDF, Presentations, Text, Other.
I tried enabling and disabling various kinds in the Spotlight preferences pane. Although that changed the set of results (as you'd expect) it had no effect on the set of items shown in the "Kind" list.
Wonder what's happening here?

Pixel Bender does not show in filters after installation but shows in extension mgr as plugin

I installed pixel bender (64bit) into my CS5 extended group through the extension manager as administrator as per directions for win 7. All went well and I restarted both PS5 and the computer. I do not have any pixel bender option under filters or anywhere else I can find. Did I do something wrong? I will uninstall it and try again, but right now, it's not looking good.

Ok... here's the deal. I installed the CS5 Master Collection on my computer. It installed a 32 and a 64 bit version of PS5 on my Win 7 64bit system. I thought that may have been because I downloaded a trial version (possibly 32 bit?) from the web before I got my full version in the mail. I uninstalled it and did a clean install with the disc a second time thinking that the earlier trial version had created some kind of protocol. When I reinstalled the PS5 64 bit from the disc it AGAIN installed both versions but the only one that will open is the 32 bit. So, I downloaded the 32 bit version of Pixel Bender and reinstalled (as administrator) the plug in (or extension) from the Extension Manager. It is there now although I have not tried it. At least it shows. I still don't know why I am working in the 32 bit version??? Anyone know?
