Trying to remove stuborn search application
Running Sharepoint 2013 on Hyperv. I’ve been having problem trying to remove a corrupt Search Service Application which has an error, it never fully starts nor fully stops it is either
starting or stopping, never started or stopped. Because I’ve been unable to remove broken one, tried to create a new one but that also fails. Been working on this for days now can’t seem to sort this out.
I have tried below powershell commands and central admin, trying to remove search service. I get error “something went wrong” then I get the ID number of the search service.
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Local | Stop-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance
$ServiceName = “Sharepoint_Service_Search” Get-SPServiceInstance -server $env:Server Name | where-object {$_.TypeName -eq $ServiceName} | Stop-SPServiceInstance -confirm:$false > $null
$spapp = Get-SPServiceApplication -Name "SharePoint_Search_Service" Remove-SPServiceApplication $spapp –RemoveData
Remove-SPServiceApplication -id (Get-SPServiceApplication | Where-Object {$_.typename -like “SharePoint_Search_Service*”} | Select-Object id).id.tostring()
Reading various forums, they say using below should work but be careful how you use it, but when trying to delete I get below message. Been unable to work out how to point to null for this
object?
stsadm.exe -o deleteconfigurationobject -id 302c4110-11d4-416c-8fa4-986444033ae8
An object in the SharePoint administrative framework, "SearchServiceInstance", could not be deleted because other objects depend on it.
Update all of these dependants to point to null or different objects and retry this operation.
The dependant objects are as follows: SPServiceInstanceJobDefinition Name=job-service-instance-302c4110-11d4-416c-8fa4-986444033ae8
Would be really grateful for some help on this one bit stuck at moment will continue to research in the meantime.
Thanks
Just an update I have used Feature Admin to get results for search features in my sharepoint could anyone give me an idea if all of the features were removed would that clean up sharepoint for me and allow me to reinstall the search feature. I appreciate
this could be a dangerous move but can snapshot server as a precaution.
Thanks

I'm trying to remove the search bar from the menu, but when I try it removes the navigation bar as well. Mozilla's help page shows there being a button to remove in the customize menu section, but it's not here so is there any other way to remove the search bar?
Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Running Win7Pro64. Tried to update to 3.6.4 and it failed. It said to download the whole program so I did. Tried to install and says that the "License File" is missing. SO I go to un-install 3.6.3 myslef with Control Panel. All that did was remove Firefox as a listed program in control panel, all of it is still there in Explorer and it runs fine. So I go to use Helper.Exe under the Uninstall folder of Mozilla Firefox and when I click that, it says "Not a Valid Win-32 Application" What's up with that?? All I want to do is remove 3.6.3 so that I can clean install 3.6.4. I tried installing 3.6.4 two different ways with failures both times. I tried to remove 3.6.3 using two different ways, and that also failed both times.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I tried updating to 3.6.4. It failed both with the update and the full download, so tried to un-install 3.6.3 in control panel, then helper.exe with no luck.You don't want to update to 3.6.4, trust me. Stay with 3.6.3. If you need to download it again you can find it here:

When I try to uninstall my itunes I go to my control panel to remove the Apple "Application, Mobile Device, software support" then i get a pop up saying that "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" I cant find it. Its preventing me from re installing the new itunes.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time? -
I am trying to remove the older version of iTunes but an error message appears saying that it cannot find the path to 'iTunes64.msi", and I tried the search option to find it on my computer but no such luck. Please help me
Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over. -
I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.
I wish I could share the two screen shots I took, but this question site doesn't have the option, so I guess I'll describe where Bing is showing up.
In the left hand of my browser, just to the right of the back and forward arrows, there is speech bubble with a black eye ball or something. I found out it's Bing-related by clicking on it. There is no option to remove it with either left or right clicking on it.
Also, in the right hand corner of my browser, at the very end of all my tabs, there is a white rectangular box with an orange "b" and a magnifying glass symbol. It will not respond to anything I try to do to it either, but if clicked it opens a new tab with a Bing search dialogue box.
Finally, any new tab I open automatically opens to the Bing search dialogue box (versus Google).
I need to get specific, step-by-step instructions for removing this Bing stuff from my computer. As I said, I have already gone through all steps outlined in the article I mentioned above as well as not been able to locate Bing in my control panel.
Please help. I'm certain others are having this same issue. I use Windows 7 and Firefox. Thanks.Apologies for the formatting there. No idea what went wrong...

I have powershell script that is used to backup SharePoint server. It was working correctly until last week. I found this error message indicate that search application cannot be paused. I don't know what happen and what should I do to solve this issue.
Please help me find solution for this.
[20/1/2557 18:53:53] FatalError: Object Search Service Application failed in event OnBackup. For more information, see the spbackup.log or sprestore.log file located in the backup directory.
InvalidOperationException: Failed to set request to pause search applicationHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got an error when you backup your SharePoint Server.
You can do the steps below, then check whether it works.
Look for any One-time timer job for Backup/Restore and delete it (From Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions)
Clear the timer cache following the below link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
Run the below command from the SharePoint Management Shell:
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication –Identity <SearchServiceApplicationName>
Suspend-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $ssa
Once the above steps are completed successfully start the full farm backup from the Central Administration > Backup and Restore > Farm Backup
Once backup is completed run the below command to resume the SSA
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication –Identity <SearchServiceApplicationName>
Resume-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $ssa
Thanks & Regards,

Another post with a well-known title. Believe me, I know. Here's my setup;
- 1 Server 2012 WFE, SharePoint Server 2013, totally up-to-date, including the september 2014 hotfix
- 1 Server 2012 DB, SQL Server 2012
Installed SP 2013 using PowerShell, with the AutoSPinstaller. Worked like a charm. Got everything up and running, with some tweaking here and there to customize it to fit my situation. Now, I can't get the Search Service Application to work. Must have created,
deleted and recreated it at least 30 times. Used both PowerShell scripts, PowerShell line-by-line, Central Admin, heck, I even went so far as to use the configuration wizzard... No luck. I keep on getting the message that search cannot connect to the machine
that hosts the 'administration component'.
In order to avoid answers that suggest all the things I've already tried, here's a summary of the various scenarios I followed:
Tried both a dedicated application pool as well as the SharePoint Web Services Default
Timer job job-application-server-admin-service is running and not showing errors
IIS 8.0 is installed, so is .NET 4.5 (not the known perp of IIS 7.5 and .NET 4.0)
the get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -local returns a healthy, online state
the SPEnterpriseSearchQueryAndSiteSettingsServiceInstance is also running
FireWall is disabled; registry has the BackConnectionHostNames modified with the necessary FQDNs
Accounts used to install and / or run the serviceapp all have sufficient rights - tried a dedicated managed account, SP_2013_SearchSvc, the SP admin account, and even the original Farm account; all to no avail, I keep on getting the error message.
Even tried stsadm to start the server search running - NOTHING WORKS!!!
As you might understand, this is driving me nuts. About to miss my second deadline, and no amount of IISresetting is making this go away. Been stuck on this issue for far too long, now (my searching is measured in days and weeks instead of hours, by now).
Whoever helps me solve this - you will have my eternal gratitude, and a nice bottle of Prosecco. Or whatever's your poison. You need to come get it, though. I´m situated in the Netherlands. Hey, you always meant to visit Amsterdam and see for yourself, right?
Thanks, community, for coming to my rescue!Thanks again - Alas, I've been there. Deleted Search a dozen times, at least, and tried installing it, initially using a PowerShell script (tried several scripts actually, from full-blown total Search Applications with extensive topologies to the most basic
of basics 'please just start without showing me errors'), PowerShell line-by-line to see where things went South, next tried installing through Central Admin (hoping that it was my own stupidity in overlooking things and hoping The System would get it right
for me), and eventually even tried using the config wizzard as a total and utter last resort - Nothing worked.
At first, I found out that removing a Service App needs a *little* bit more work than simply removing it through Central Admin, but by now I can truthfully state that if there's one thing I've become supergood at, it's removing Search Service Applications.Totally.
I will check out the article, though - I realized early on in my SharePoint experience that regardless of what you think you know, there's so much more to find out. I know, that's almost philosophical. That is, my friends, indeed the point I've reached... -

Afterwards, I try to install the warcraftlogs.air application, and when I execute the program I get the following error:
Se ha producido algún error al intentar instalar esta aplicación. Instale la versión más reciente de Adobe AIR desde http://www.adobe.com/go/getair_es y vuelva a intentarlo.
Translated it should be something like this (this is not the official English message):
Some error has occurred while trying to install this application. Install the latest Adobe AIR version from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair_es and try again.
I've tried to search anything related, because I can't find that exact error message in any Adobe troubleshooting page, but everything I can find is a really old version issue, or something I've tried without success (trying to install everything running as administrator, also via cmd.exe ran as administrator, installing an older version, uninstalling and installing 100 times Adobe AIR, etc.).
I've also searched (but not asked) in Warcraft Logs forums for any solution, but I couldn't find anything related either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance and best regards! ^^Inesipinesii please remove your current installation of the Adobe Download Assistant from your Applications folder. You will then be able to reinstall the Adobe Download Assistant and begin the download process for Photoshop Elements 11.

HELP! How to remove Yahoo search from firefox 36.0.1? HELP!
I guess I made a big mistake upgrading to FireFox 36.0.1! Nothing but grief since trying to remove the Yahoo search from this version.
Didn't appreciate this version removing my default Home page tabs to use on startup. Looks like they are gone forever - not happy!
I have tried many if not all forms of advice to remove this yahoo search from my home page to no avail. I even uninstalled it and made sure I got a non Yahoo version from the Mozilla site. Still no help.
1) I have tried changing keyword.URL via about:config - no help
2) I have tried changing the Search - Change Search Settings - no help
3) I tried bringing up a single tab with Google and using General options to Use Current Page - no help
4) I tried the same using many other tabs without Google - no help
5) I have removed Yahoo and others from the Search options - no help
6) Uninstalled and reinstalled a "CLEAN" version from Mozilla site - no help
7) Retried 1 thru 5 above again - no help
8) Checked the Shortcut Target in Mozilla FireFox Properties - no help
Get the idea? No matter what, Yahoo comes back every time I open FireFox. Which means I cannot use a set of tabs as my default any more. WHY????
Looks like it may be time to severe my long time use of this browser since the beginning with NetScape in the earliest of days with PC's. Too Bad.This worked. The problem is the user.js file was changed. See below:
User.js file overriding preferences
If you don't have any of the above programs installed, or if you followed the suggestions and single preferences still aren't being saved, you may have to edit Firefox's configuration files yourself. Don't panic, it's pretty easy. Here's how to do it.
Open your profile folder:
Click the menu button New Fx Menu , click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click Exit Close 29
Open the file user.js with a text editor (like Notepad).
If there is no user.js file, these steps won't help you.
Remove the lines for the options you want to be able to change. You can delete all the lines if you want to be able to change everything.
Save the file and close the text editor.

I have a macbook pro with retina display, my operating system is OSX version 10.9.5 (processor = 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 and memory = 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3), and my safari is version 7.0.6. Recently I was downloading some applications from online, and afterwards when I was using safari all these ads started to pop up (in Safari) - showing ads with my search results and whenever I clicked a link opening ads in extra tabs. I've managed to remove some of them by changing my system preferences (e.g. changing safari security, privacy and extensions), deleting unwanted applications and deleting certain files from my library (e.g. cached files). However, I've been unable to remove "Royal Search". Apparently it is "a browser hijacker, which is promoted via other free downloads, and once installed it will change your browser homepage and default search engine to royal-search.com". I want to remove it as it's making my safari difficult to use. I've tried downloading different antiviral software and so far nothing has worked. If anyone knows how to remove royal search or would be able to help me figure it out I'd really appreciate it!
I had the same problem today. It probably started with few downloads from some websites.
I got mine fixed by deleting suspicious .plist files in safari.
You can go to finder and search for safari , Use the + sign in the top right corner and select system files are included in the search. Then just delete the .plist files you think are suspicious.
In my case, I just deleted all of them. And it worked for me.
Hope it works for you too.
Good luck -
APEX 4.2 Search Application does not work
Why is Search Application in APEX application builder disabled for me? I can type in the search field but the icon to run the search does nothing. This worked fine in 4.0. Tried IE and Firefox.
I don't see an icon to press unless you mean the magnifying glass that proceeds the field. I just type in the search field then press the Enter key and then the search is submitted.

I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips? I contacted a support member but unfortunately my warranty has run out, he suggested that may be a result of putting the mac into sleep constantly, and not shutting down and that there may be files i can clear to remedy the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Regards.First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
HT1918 Trying to remove credit card from itunes account
Trying to remove credit card from daughters itunes account. I erase the billing information and click continue but it will not allow me to exit and save without putting some kind of billing information.There is no "None" option for me to select. What can I do?
If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.
