Still no "spotlight" search for first 5G iPod?

Any news about it? The iTunes 7.0.2 update did not add it. It's such an upsetting thing...

"The new software features will not be available for the older 5G iPods."
"New iPod software features
Now quickly find the songs, podcasts, or audiobooks you want to hear with the new search feature. And listen to music seamlessly with automatic gapless playback."
Hope this helps

Spotlight Search for iBooks

It would be great to have spotlight search for iBooks.

Hi,
have the same requirement. iBooks as it designed right now is not Apple like at all.
Spotlight is not able to find books.
Files are renamed into the depth of operating system.
Like this I better keep my PDFs in normal folders being able to search for the title and even the contents.
Actually I expected that feature in Yose. ...

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".

I heard there is a recall for first generation iPods?

I heard there is a recall for first generation iPods due to the batteries catching fire. Where and how do we return for replacement?

Yes it every time you put the serial number it says that th iPod is not part of the recall program. I tried 4 days ago and it send me to my mail address to where they have to ship the box although I never completed. It is interesting that the program started in November 11/2011 and after November 11/2013 no one can have the product replaced.

How to use the spotlight search for photos imported onto an apple ipod model MB528BT

I have an apple ipod model MB528BT version 4.2.1 (8C148) Im think its an iPod touch as opposed to the old iPod but cannot be certain. So first of all does this model number mean anything and/or can I confirm myself via the unit itself?
Assuming its an iPod Touch my question is :-
I have copied photos from a dvd I purchased for identifying birds onto my iMac which I readily search via spotlight.
Having downloaded these photos onto my ipod when I conduct a spotlight search it only finds the birdsong but not the image! Cannot get into settings for spotlight to set for images. If of course this is the answer.
Anyone know the answer please!
Thanks David

"also i use imessage alot so when somebody sends a message who will get it the ipad or the ipod?"
Both
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to one computer.

Unable to search for first record using the Preview tree

Post Author: TheBig1980s
CA Forum: General
Hello:
Users are unable to search for the first record in the Preview tab's tree. The reason for this is because the first record is within the first page header of the report. My guess is that, by design, Crystal takes the end user to whatever the first instance of the record iseven if that first record is in a page header. That's not "good". I want the user to be taken to the first record within the details of the reportnot within the page header.
I have suppressed the page header to not print on the first record by using OnFirstRecord. But, I still get the same issue where end users cannot select the first record in the tree without being taken to the page header. Very strange.
Can anybody think of any other ideas?
Thanks!

Thank you Dave Merchant and try67 for your responses. As per my previous post, I contacted the company re the catalogue and they have responded favourably. I'll include their response because it gives the reason for the search failure as document compression which you might find interesting. I'll await their new catalogue and see if they have fixed the problem.
Company response:
Thank you very much for your input. And yes, you are correct, the compression we used for the current catalogue's PDF format does strip out text included in the catalogue. We used the compression settings we did with the intention of minimising download time, however I take your point about including text for search purposes (which I also utilise when I'm scanning through PDFs).
We will actually be posting out our new catalogue next week and we'll release the new PDF version on the website at the same time. I've asked our graphic designer to ensure that the PDF we use for the new catalogue includes searchable text.

Spotlight search for Address Book contact results in import query?

This bug is happening frequently lately, wheby I perform a Spotlight seach for a contact that is in my Address Book, and then when I select the contact in the search results, Address Book is selected and the app asks me "Are you sure you want to import 1 card?"
Anybody ever see this problem or how to resolve it?
Thanks.

Peter, that is not a solution -- try selecting the same contact again from spotlight and you'll get the same "Import" dialog box, asking you what you want to do.
The expected behavior from Address Book is to open the existing contact.
No other application does this from Spotlight that I'm aware of, and after 7 years of OS X, this is still very, very annoying.
I wish there were a fix -- I'm activley looking and will report back.

Cannot Spotlight search for term: (1)

I'm trying to search for all files that contain "(1)" (without the quotes) in the filename. However when I type (1) into the search field, nothing shows up. (I know I have hundreds of these files named this way)
How can I find these files? I'm assuming there is something special about parentheses that exclude it from being searched, right?

Spotlight search for TEXT?

Still on 10.4.9...
I try searching for a certain WORD within my many documents, but Spotlight can only find the NAMES of files, not WORDS WITHIN the files, at least none within any of my QuarkXpress files...
I also try Finder>Find, Use the MINUS button to delete all the other criteria, and change the default button from KIND to CONTENTS and type in the word I am looking for... There are no Quark files on the list, even though the Quark document is now actually opened and the certain word I'm looking for is right there...
Could it be that Spotlight or the Find function do not look into QuarkXpress documents? Or other documents like MSWord?

Content searches should work with MS Word, but not sure about QuarkXpress.
You might have luck if you install the QuarkXpress Filter for Spotlight at the bottom of this page:

Spotlight search for email

If I do a spotlight search (IOS7.02) on a phrase I get a hit on an email but I cannot find this email in any of my accounts - inboxes, sent or trash. Any ideas?

I have the same issue. Just received a new MacBook Air with our Corporate image on it. I recovered my old data onto it and setup Outlook 2011 and Mail but Spotlight doesn't search in either one anymore. On my old MacBook with Mountain Lion on it, it worked just fine. I've tried the suggestions of deleting the index files using the Terminal app and I tried the adding and deleting the HD in Privacy settings in Spotlight Preferences and rebooting, but still nothing.
Help please. Driving me crazy not being able to search for old emails.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Spotlight Searching for Song Will Cancel Shuffle.

Before the update, I could use spotlight to find a song, and it would just find the song within the shuffle. For example, if there was 10 songs, searching for a song would bring me to song 5 of 10. However now, after the update, it will find ONLY that song. So that on the iPod app, it will just say 1 of 1. When the song ends I have to manually start the shuffle over. Similarly, picking another song within the iPod app will restart the shuffle. It literally makes the iPod app useless for me.

i have this problema too
Iphone 3GS, ios 4.2.1
already restore and didnt work
I constantly use spotlight to play specific songs and normally it would continue with the shuffle playlist and now it's useless. I already restore the phone but it didint fix!
any help?

Spotlight Search for 0KB Images?

I'm having a big problem with my iPhoto Library.
Is there a way for me to search for 0KB images in an iPhoto Library (say after I do a Show Package Contents)?
If so, I'd love to get specific instructions on how to do this. Also, if there is a Spotlight Forum please direct me to it as I could not find it.
Thanks

Or try Find Any File . I find Spotlight searches overly complex and limited.

Regex: searches for first letter in word return all letters

I want to init-cap the words in a sentence, and I use the pattern "\\b[a-z]" to search for the first letter of each word. However, it actually matches all the letters, so that the entire sentence is capitalized. If I reverse the pattern to look for the last letter of each word, "[a-z]\\b", then only the last letter is capitalized as expected.
Is this a bug or a misunderstanding of regular expressions on my part?
Here's my code:
String s = "this is a test";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\b[a-z]");
Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
boolean result = m.find();
while(result) {
m.appendReplacement(sb, m.group().toUpperCase());
result = m.find();
m.appendTail(sb);
System.out.println(sb.toString());

It capitalizes only the first letter of words for me. Try getting the latest version of the JDK.

Enabling Spotlight search for server clients?

I have a mac mini server running OSX Mavericks, and 6 client mac also running Mavericks.
The server provides access to the main storage raid for our design dept, and all the designers need to be able to search for files on this server, but Spotlight never seems to work when trying to search the server.
No of us are It types, so the few possible solutions i have found seem to be aimed at advanced unix programmers, and as a result assume that a single line of code is enough of a hint for us to sort out the problem!
Pleae can someone explain how i can set up the server to index the raid, and allow the users to perform searches?
thanks
adam

It used to be that you could manually enable and disable spotlight indexing for network shares on a Mac server. With Server.app and therefore your Macvericks server this is automatically enabled. The process would be along the following lines.
You have a drive which has permissions enabled, external drives may default to having this turned off you can if needed enable it by doing a 'Get Info' on the external drive, and at the bottom will be an option 'Ignore ownership on this volume' this needs to be turned off i.e. unticked.
You then tell Server.app to 'share' the volume or a folder within the volume.
Server.app will automatically enable both AFP and SMB sharing for this new share, you can modify this if you wish.
Server.app will also automatically add an ACL (Access Control List) record containing the special server account 'Spotlight' so it can access every single file and folder within the share, this lets the server spotlight indexing software be able to access and therefore index all those files.
Client Macs can then search the share, it should only return results of files that that user has permission to access.
There is nothing really to configure. I have seen problems where the server will periodically decide to re-index the share again and while it is doing this searching does not work because the server is busy rebuilding the index. You can tell if this is happening by clicking on the Spotlight menu on the server, if it says it is re-indexing then this is what is happening.

Spotlight search for emails outside of iMail

Hi all,
By default, spotlight searches in iMail. I use another email client (Airmail) and I would like to include it in spotlight searches. Is that possible?
Thanks

I have just found this on MacWorlds site...
http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/11/15/spotlightanlaysis/index.php
Spotty Symbol Searches Spotlight’s handling of non-alphanumeric characters is quite strange. Try searching for a dollar value you know you’ve got in some file, for instance. When I searched for $150, I got matches for all files that contained 150, but not necessarily the dollar sign. Similarly, I was looking for a piece of Unix code that I knew contained %i. So I searched on that term, and Spotlight found 99,271 matches, only a couple of which had the %i string I was looking for. So maybe Spotlight just ignores the non-alphanumeric characters?
That doesn’t seem to be the case at all, as a search for just i found 298,436 matches (and took a long time to run!). So just what’s happening here? If it’s ignoring the non-alphanumeric characters, I should have seen the same number of matches in both searches. But I didn’t, so what exactly is it doing with them?
Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Ivan
