Finder searches, but never finds!

So I've seen related topics, but never anything that has quite helped the problem. As the title states, my Finder works, but using the search bar never finds anything. Finder will continue to search and search and search without producing any results. Spotlight also does this. I have tried repairing permissions, repairing the disk, booting from install disc, repairing from the disc, today I tried deleting the .plist files for finder and sidebar, but this resulted in nothing but making my desktop icons big (default size). Along with these problems, within the last several months, I have been unable to use the preview window option in finder as any time it tries to pull up a preview, the system freezes up for several minutes until the preview appears. ALSO, if I try to use the 'Get Info' command, the systems freezes the same way. I'm assuming that these problems are all related, as they all use some form of the finder. Any suggestions?

The fact that Spotlight won't index suggests you either have some hack which interferes with Spotlight, or data corruption that is interfering with it. I'm not sure that installing the combo update as BDAqua suggests will help or not. While it may give you a fresh copy of some system files, if it misses a cache or preference file for something that conflicts with Spotlight you are still going to be left in a lurch. Backup your data first since you still have access to your hard drive*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Once that is done, we can analyze what may be corrupting Spotlight.
It is better to have a backup even with corrupt files which you can extract user saved data from than none at all.

Sync with desktop shows its working but no bookmarks have come over.

Sync on table is showing updates but no bookmarks are coming over. I have also exported my bookmarks to my tablet (Le Pan) SD card, but how do I get them into the browser?

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.
There is not support for Windows 8 yet with the reader software. That can explain why the books will not transfer from the PC to the Reader. Please wait for the version of reader software for PC to be released for Windows 8. You can periodically check http://www.esupport.sony.com for the update when it is released.

Unknown error given when trying to sync with Desktop 4.3 on my windows Vista

Everything worked great with my blackberry pearl and then I got a new computer with WIndows Vista...I am having a tough time getting it to work. I installed desktop 4.3 because my earlier version was causing my whole computer to turn off...now whenever I connect my BB and try to sync it says "unkonwn error reported' any ideas? please help

The error message indicates that the VBScript engine is not currently registered on the machine
Resolution
1.Run Command Prompt as administrator
1.1 Start menu -> All Programs-> Accessories
1.2 Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator
2. type cd %windir%\system32 "Press Enter"
3. type regsvr32 vbscript.dll "Press Enter"
4. Reboot System and re-install program
That should do it

Calendar no longer syncing with desktop

I have a Centro that has decided to stop syncing with my desktop on the calendar. Not sure how long it's been doing this--but just double booked myself for an appt and realized my calendars are discrepant from desktop to handheld. I do NOT sync with microsoft outlook (never have). I have tried the following solutions:
1. handheld overwrite desktop under those specific applications
2. Remove and reinstall Palm desktop software (tried this twice)
3. soft reset of machine (both desktop and handheld)
4. In Sync options, uncheck everyting EXCEPT date book
5. DBFixit (found no errors on my machine)
6. Download Centro updated software from palm website (1.03)
There have been no changes to either machine and while the Date book is checked (and says 'synchronize files') during the sync process, this step is consistently skipped when going through items 1-14 (and no mention is made under log of errors...it's as if it doesn't even exist). I do not see a 'calendar' under application list on desktop sync list.
Honestly, I am so tired of the problems & glitches with this machine (only 6mo in use), I am almost ready to bail on palm after 10 dedicated years. It's just not worth it with a crash at every turn even for the most rudimentary user (me). I've had this machine 6 months and love it--but the continual freeze-points like this are too frequent. Haven't heard any iphone users complain much.
Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.

Just to clarify--I do not use the Microsoft Outlook Exchange server from my work. Also--under the desktop hot sync applications, everything is checked, and everything is supposed to 'synchronize the files'. I tried handheld to overwrite desktop on the Calendar--but the whole hot sync process seems to be completely ignoring the date book and calendar. No error messages or anything. Also--this always worked before. I have changed NOTHING on my desktop or handheld in terms of programs used...etc. Thanks for your input!

First sync with desktop manager for mac: only 300 contacts synced instead of the 1100

I have a Curve 8310. version 4
I have a brand new mac with NO CONTACTS or calendar.
I have preciously very successfully synced with my windows computer for 2 years.
I have just tried for the first time to sync with desktop manager,.only 315 contacts synced of the 1100.
The apple people recommend using Mark/Space" missing Sync" but I am reluctant to do this as the reviews are mixed.
Help?

Hi there.
Have been using my BB Pearl 8100 on and off since Oct 08.
I have successfully synced with a Vaio (XP Pro) using BBDM (up to version 4.6) as well as iMac OS 10.5.8 using PocketMac for BB v4.1 and now BBDM for Mac. Have synced with iCal, Mail, Contacts (albeit 647)
PocketMac can be a little temperamental, but not that much of a prob as when i downloaded it was free (shareware) and the only alternative was Missing Sync.

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required. help

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required??? I checked when last auto update was done which was 01/07/12 I also tried downloading from web iTunes version 11.1.5 but it wont load because I don't have min version 10.6.8. What can I do to sort this out? Note: I am a not computer savy so be easy on me.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop. Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer. How I can fix this?

Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

I lost my bookmarks while trying to sync with another device. Can I get them back?

I have tried to sync with a new device. I Had a lot of trouble finding the code which I used last time I synced devices. It seems that I didn't need to do that anymore after signing out and in, it suddenly seemed to work. All the bookmarks that wasn't in folders appered on the new device but the folders didn't. Unfortunately I also pressed the sync button on the old device. Result: the bookmarks that wasn't in folders "returned" to my old device and all the folders are gone.
Since they cootained years of collecting links. I really would like to get them back.
I havn't shot down my device since it happened.
I hope you can help me :-)

Not possible, and since the Restrictions Passcode is included with your iPhone's backup, you must restore the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Lightroom mobile sync "hangs" - I am trying to sync several small LR collections from my desktop computer. The first collection syncs, and then Lightroom syncing seems to hang. It shows "Syncing 150 photos" in top left, but never progresses even after c

I am using Lightroom 5.5 on OS X. I have created several small collections with about 180 images and I am trying to sync them via Lightroom mobile for later iPad access. The first collection syncs properly, and then Lightroom syncing seems to hang. The label in the upper right shows "Syncing 150 photos" but does not count down. Opening and closing LR does not restart the process.

PROBLEM STILL EXISTS...
I spoke to soon! I tried adding a couple of more collections to sync. Lightroom shows "Syncing 814" photos on upper left, but never apparently syncs any. If I exit Lightroom it notifies me there are 814 images to sync. When I reopen it seems to pick up and stall where it left off. These new collections are not posting - this is the same problem as before.
I am pretty sure there is a serious bug in Lightroom here. I encourage support to contact me.

Trying to sync with iTunes and iPhone

trying to sync with iTunes and iPhone cannot be synced because it cannot be read or written to keeps coming up.

Hi PreParrott,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving an alert that your iPhone cannot be synced because it cannot be read or written to. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and working through the troubleshooting steps suggested within it.

TS1538 when trying to sync with itunes my only option is restore

when I try to get my music onto my iphone 4s the only option I get in itunes is restore. I was able to transfer everything else.....any ideas?

This problem is quite common, but I have not been able to figure out what causes it. My best bet is that it's a USB issue, and I have found a workaround that makes synchronising possible when all else fails. For the record, I have tried all of the potential solutions on these forums without lasting success. Here's what worked for me.
(Windows 7 32bit, iPhone 4S, iTunes 10.6.1.7)
First of all, make sure you have a good wi-fi signal in the region of the PC you are syncing with. Then -
1) Start iTunes.
2) Connect phone via USB.
3) Left click on phone in iTunes.
4) On the Summary page check "Sync with this phone over Wi Fi"
5) On the phone go to Settings>General>iTunes wi-fi sync
6) Tap on Sync now.
The phone should sync via wi-fi, even though it is connected via USB. It didn't seem any slower to me than syncing via the cable, and more importantly it worked, and the backup went smoothly. I've tried it several times now with no problems.
Also, if you have a lot of apps you need to synchronise or you are re-arranging the app windows using iTunes you can sync in the normal way from the PC if you do it immediately after the wi-fi sync, because iTunes does not run the backup again. It probably won't run two backups within a few minutes of one another.
It's all a bit of a fiddle, and Apple/MS needs to get a fix for it, but if this method works for you at least you have a good backup should you flush your phone down the toilet!
Good luck!
