TIF metadata not found in Spotlight searched (JPEG okay)

Hi,
We've been trying to use Spotlight to help manage our collection of digital photos. All of our photos are imported from raw format and edited in photoshop, during the process adding a description, keywords, etc. (in an XMP extension), and then save as TIFFs. We had hoped to use Spotlight to be able to search through this metadata, but it doesn't seem to be able to read our entries. 'mdls' reveals an incomplete set of metadata. If the images are saves as JPEGs, however, it works - description and keywords are searchable using Spotlight and 'mdls' gives a complete set of metadata. In addition, if we then use Photoshop to convert the TIFFs to JPEGs, there is no problem, so the data clearly aren't missing.
Does anyone know what is wrong? Is the implementation of Spotlight searching of TIFF metadata incomplete? Is there something about these parts of TIFF metadata that is incompatible with Spotlight? Is there any way around this? As far as we can tell, the TIFF problem has been around for all versions of Tiger (10.4 - 10.4.6).

Karl & Linda,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. It is possible that the problem you are experiencing will generate many replies that will take you far away from what you are actually trying to do. Spotlight is notoriously unreliable and uncooperative, and presents many problems.
In the interim (while we all wait in hope that Apple will smell the coffee), the usual thing seems to be to download a piece of freeware called EasyFind, which you can get at VersionTracker.com.
EasyFind finds files. Which is more than can be said for Spotlight. If you are dissatisfied with Spotlight you are advised to email Apple directly, from this Support site, describing the issue.
I hope EasyFid works for you.

Mail not found in Spotlight / Mail not backuped in Time Machine

On my OS X Lion Server 10.7.2 (on Mac OS X Server Mini), I am unable to search for any mail of the logged-on local user. Furthermore, no data from the Mail.app is saved in the Time Machine.
All other data can be found in Spotlight and all other data is backuped normally with Time Machine. The Mail.app works fine and is configured normally.

I think you have not placed mail.jar and activation.jar files in the /jre/lib/ext directory. Just place the mail.jar and activation.jar files in the jdk's /jre/lib/ext directory and check out. This will work for you.

Page not found error for search results

I have a site search recipe that worked perfectly on a previous site. I’ve created a new search for a different site following the same recipe. I must be missing something though, because I am getting a page not found error.
Here is the code that worked before:
<form name="catsearchform32891" method="post" action="http://corehog.businesscatalyst.com/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=3770&PageID=15863972" ><div><input class="search-box" type="text" name="CAT_Search" id="CAT_Search" /><input type="image" src="http://corehog.businesscatalyst.com/images/search-button.png" class="cat_button" /></div></form>
Here is the new site search:
<form name="catsearchform12233" method="post" action="http://greenprideinc.com/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=3936&PageID=1661214" ><div><input class="search-box" type="text" name="CAT_Search" id="CAT_Search" /><input type="image" src="http://greenprideinc.com/images/search-button-n.png" class="cat_button" /></div></form>
Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong?

I just noticed one simple thing. I do not know its bug or what.
After sign in the page is getting redirected to :
https://creative.adobe.com/#files
where I am getting error saying that page not found.
I tried to add '/ ' after that and it works.
https://creative.adobe.com/#files/ <<< like this.
I guess some link issue or redirecting issue.

IView not found error when searching

Hi,
We see the below error when trying to do any search on the EP6 SP14 portal. The search function was working, but now we see this error.
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
iView not found:

See the details for the exception ID in the log file
The search functionality was working last week. The
com.sap.km.basicsearch iview is there.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Rick,
Goto the Physical location of the iView and see whether the iView exists there. If yes, then right-click on it and select 'Preview' and then try to enter anything and say Search. Do you get the same error message here also.
Or create your own iView from the par(basicSearch iview) and try to search from your own iView also. Let me know the results.

BAPI's Business object not found in the search help of LSMW.

Hi,
I am loading Open sales contracts using LSMW BAPI method.
The business object for this is BUS2034 and the FM is BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA.
But when i am selecting the Business object in LSMW, it is not appeared in the search help.
Is there any way to add the required Business object, Function module in LSMW manually?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Vishnu..

Have checked the entries in table TBDBA (BAPI ALE mapping) for this BO ? If this is not available, you may have generate "ALE interface for BAPI" using Transaction code BDBG.
P.S. See the code written in FM "/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_BUSOBJ" (Search help for BO) and read reference to table TBDBA in line number 54.

Site not found in Google search

Perhaps a basic issue but one that's giving me a headache.
What is the best and cheapest method of getting a site found during
a google search. ?
Any words of wisdom would be hugely appreciated.
????

Yeah, but it's still not going to work if you've got your
whole Flash site
embedded into a single html page. Google asks you to create a
robot.txt
file in order for your Flash site to be listed by them, but
I've never found
any comprehensible specs on how to make that file. Anyone got
these?
The only thing I know of that works is to recreate your whole
site in html
as well as the Flash site. This, of course is an unsatisfying
pain in the
rumpus!

Font names not shown in Spotlight search

Whenever I perform a search with Spotlight font names are not shown, see image below.
Does anyone have an idea what's causing this?

Hi Xergio,
Apparently this bug is gone in Mavericks:

Spotlight Comments do not appear in Spotlight search results

I have a .png file on my desktop.
Right click >> Get Info
Spotlight Comments has the string 'Fruit' saved.
If I search for 'Fruit' in Spotlight I get no results, why?

Hi TD
Yes and no.
Yes it worked the way you mentioned but if I change the Spotlight Comment: on the same file to something else I can still find it via 'Fruit'. I much prefer command-space bar to call Spotlight.
How long does it take a change to a Spotlight Comment: to filter into Spotlight?
Its not the end of the world its just I was finding Spotlight really useful until I came up against this.

Paypal email message content not found in Mail search

I've looked on the net and can't find any one else reporting this problem so it has to be something at my end.
My Mail search cannot find any word found in the message body of an email from Paypal.
I just upgraded to Yosemite so thought it was a problem with the new OS as I've been able to search message content in OS 10.8 (and previous) for years.
However...
I just re-started using a cloned HD with my old 10.8 OS on it and the search isn't working now.
It finds everything else asked but nothing in a Paypal email.
This includes messages in my inbox and messages stored in various "On My Mac" folders.
I seem to remember this happened before, maybe 2004/2005?? Which ever OS version I was using then?
It couldn't be worked out so I moved over to Microsoft Entourage.
I don't want to switch email software again but the lack of ability to search is causing me some problems.
I did open an Apple support case on this and they couldn't give me an answer but said it had been reported already and may be looked at for a fix in forthcoming OS revisions.
Funny how no one's asked this on any community pages.
Any ideas?? Am I missing something. I don't understand how it's worked on my older OS for years and now suddenly it's stopped.
Does search need anything to find words in content that I may have inadvertently changed?

I have now gone back to my OS 10.8 disc and re-built the folder with my paypal emails in and it is now searching ok so forget what i said earlier.
I'd edit the original post but it won't let me???

"IDOC Metadata not Found" - Error with Business Connnector 4.7

I have been trying to get our 4.7 installation of Business Connector going after having all kinds of issues getting 3.5 to run as a service on Windows Server 2003.
I believe I am just about able to succesfully load the Idocs as I did in 3.5. However, when it gets to the inboundProcess step, I get an error saying "The IDOC Metadata for ORDERS05 is not available." I seem to be stuck at this point.
If anyone has any ideas on what I can do to get around this or fix this issue, I would really appreciate it. I am trying to load these IDOCS via ALE and I am getting this error just after the OutBoundProcess (ALE.java) step.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing. They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

debbie5891 wrote: ... They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan...
How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera. If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac, follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.) On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted. If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
Here are some more ideas you can consider:
Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be. They may be visible there now.
If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used. Spotlight may give you a list of places to look. If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images. My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types.
You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search. The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility" choice.
debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large. For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks. Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7). You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files. If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images. However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied. To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
You're most welcome.
If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

Cannot join domain "the network path was not found"

Hi there.
As I wanted to install new Microsoft Lync Server, I tried to prepare a virtual machine for this. For some reason I used a virtual machine that I tested for some another services, therefore it had some changes on it.
As you know before installing Lync Server your client must be join a domain and when I tried to joined it I faced with this error "The following error occurred attempting
to join the domain “ysatech”; the network path was not found "
Before my search, I thought it was DNS problem. I checked DNS but nothing was wrong.
I searched for it and I read some forums answers and I resolved it:
As I said my client server had some changes, the problem was in the NIC but not about DNS or WINS. The "Client for Microsoft Networks" of
NIC of my domain network was not checked and it must be checked.

Check the dns setting on client and ensure the setting as below.
1. Each workstation/member server should point to local DNS server as primary DNS and other remote DNS servers as secondary.
2. Do not set public DNS server in TCP/IP setting of client/member server.
3. If multiple NIC are configured disable the unrequired NIC.Check the NIC binding order too.
This issue may occur if the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is not running on the client computer.

Network Path Not Found" Error Message When You Try to Add Workstation to Domain:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285182
I will also recommend to enable the Client for Microsoft Networks.If still issue persist post the ipconfig /all details of client computer.
