Why is the iphone search function spotlight limited in time?

why is the iphone search function spotlight limited in time? I can only find entries that are less than a year old,but I would like to search older entries in my calender, which goes back to 2002. Anyone has a solution for this?

Are you sure that your calendar still contains entries from that long ago? Generally when you sync the iPhone through iTunes, it will only sync entries from a specific time frame. It may be there older entries have been archived and do not exist on the iPhone anymore. Other than that, I don't see any setting that allows modification to the time frame for Spotlight search.

Still it could not find the data network.it searches for voice network instantly and works too. but even full voice network available, there is no data network.when i restart the phone it could find data network.
Already i reset network settings for two times.

How do I remove a name from the iPhone search function (extreme left page of apps)?, How do I remove a name from the iPhone search function (extreme left page of apps)?

Even after deleting emails and sms messages, a whole lot still show up on the search page. Ideas?

You are correct, the Search Function is very powerful. It even retrieves deleted information. If you really want to delete it, only way I know would be to Restore. But if you Restore from Back-Up, some of those unwantd messages and information may crop up again. You may have to Restotre and Set Up as New iPhone.

Why was the Aperture 1.0 promotion limited in time?

Dear Apple,
I am a photobook designer and Aperture is a great help to sort out my clients photos.
I love Apple, I really like the way Aperture is going... but... I was one of the first people to buy Aperture 1.0. A very costly purchase because:
a - at the time Aperture was priced rather high (I paid 700 CHF for it)
b - at the time, I had an Intel G5 first generation (I always tend to buy the new products...) and Aperture didn't work on it. So I bought an Intel based iMac to run Aperture.
Then, the price dropped... yaouch... that was a bit hard to swallow, but coming from an International Company background, I know that pricing is a difficult exercice, so I accepted that, well, that I was just a "pricing victim".
A few months back, a photographer friend tells me about the aperture pricing promotion so I log onto the site and quickly send out the form.
Two months go by and no answer. So I contact support who tells me that I sent my request too late. As I wasn't very happy they asked me to send an email to the external company who took care of your promotion. No answer. After a reminder, I receive a very unpolite answer telling me that I was too late and that's all! (btw I don't like that company, they are a bit rude!)
So, all this to say... since you have a database with the names of the people who purchased Aperture 1.0, why didn't you write to us? and why limit this promotion in time? and why use a rude company to deal with it?
I would still like to receive my voucher so I can buy some new fun apple stuff on the shop!!!
Thanks for listening!
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.7)

How can it be too late? The promotion is still on the Aperture web page, if it is by now too late the promotion should be taken of the web. The first time the promotion was announced I found it on the US web site and mailed it to the US. I bought Aperture in Swiss, but at that time the promotion was not yet on the Swiss or European sites. I of course never heard anything about it from the US company (while some UK people got the voucher from the US). Just a week ago I decided to look again and noticed the promotion too on the Swiss site. I printed out the form and sent it of last week.

Question re iMac Search function Spotlight

Hello. When I type a query into the iMac search function, Spotlight, top right hand corner of the screen, magnifier icon, it brings up
all the possibles available. I can click on the one I want and it will open up, however prior to Lion I used to be able to hover
over any one and it would show where it was located in the iMac. This doesnt seem to work in Lion. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. Thanks.

I found this in Gilsmethod.com quote :
When the preview appears, press the Command key on your keyboard and while holding down Command press the Option key.
You will notice that the lower border of the preview will expand providingyou with the location of the item you are looking for.
If you click on the file from the list while doing this, the location where the file is located will be open and not the file. unquote
Works good but a little cumbersome and not as good as in Snow Leopard where the path automatically appeared Cheers.

Why I cannot use search function in my apple store? I use Ipad 3 and it is the latest software

Why I cannot use search function in the apple store on my ipad?

Nobody here could possibly answer your question as presented. Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all?
Quit the app store completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work ... A few more details from you might help you get your problem resolved.

The Search Function Seems Limited

My old PDA was a Palm Pilot with a great search function. There was no time limit and it search all aspects of Contact Info even notes and job description plus the contents of all documents, and all aspects of the Outlook calendar. My 32G iPod Touch running OS 4.1 will go back 1 yr. when searching the calendar. It doesn't include Job Description or Notes when searching Contacts and it doesn't seem to search Word Documents at all.
Have others found the same thing? Has anyone found an APP that is capable of performing a more thorough search.

Yes, others have comments on the skimpy search function. I know of no apps that provide a better one. Why not make a suggestion to Apple here:

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

"Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
"is in the works?"
This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

New iPhone search function totally lame!

I was really looking forward to the new "search" function in iPhone 2.0 update. It is totally lame. It will only look for first and last names. This was easy enough to find before. I need it to find phone numbers and information in my notes (just like the real address book search function does).
Hopefully, some other company will make it work properly with a new App.

How about a search function that can search your calendar? What good is a "datebook" application if you have to remember where you entered a specific event? iPhone is the biggest disappointments ever. HUGE downgrade from my Treo. Glad they had all of the problems launching 2.0 (which should have been considered 1.0beta)- serves them right for being so arrogant about a less-than-ready product (again).

Where's the Contact search function?!

I updated my iPhone to 2.02 already, but can't find where's the contact search function.

Doesn't work for me. Had to revert to ordinary finger-scrolling.

Why does the iPhone convert animated .GIF images?

I saved a bunch of animated .GIF files on my iPhone.
When I imported them onto my computer, they were all single framed .JPG files.
Why does the iPhone convert the images, and is there any way to prevent this?
Thanks!

you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
/* Load the request. */
[myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

How do I clear out history on the iPhone search located on home screen

Past text messages come up in the iPhone search even though they were deleted and are no longer in phone book.

Only by restoring your phone as a new device, not from backup. The data is in a cache that is not user accessible. It will eventually be overwritten as you use your phone. But, if you want it gone now, restoring as new will get rid of it.

Why is the iPhone cheaper from Apple store than elsewhere?

Hi there, possible silly question for you here!
Why is the iPhone 5C £319 from apple and £399 from the likes of Carphone Warehouse or Virgin Mobile??
What am I missing?
Having been with Virgin for a very long time and using basic phones I need something that's going to let me do what I need on the go without lagging and crashing so I'm going for an iPhone...possibly the 5C.
Do you think Virgin would supply me with a sim to go in the iPhone if I bought it from Apple??
Hope you can help!?!?!

If Apple has decided to sell the 5C at £319 ( as shown on UK store) it will be NOT carrier locked and will work with any of the UK Apple Approved carriers ,including Virgin
(forget CPW their units will lock to the first carrier sim used )
I imagine if you have a contract Virgin will provide the correct sim provisioned for your number ,but ask them first

Why is the iPhone 5 using so much data I have read a lot of complaints and I have went over on my plan and never have?

Why is the iPhone 5 using so much data I have read a lot of complaints and I have went over on my plan and never have?
I have even turned off LTE. Cut off my cellular data off of apps. Still uses data I switched back to my iPhone 4 cause I had used my
Data in 2 weeks!

I have the same problem on my 4S 64G: I updated to 7.1.1 and burned through my cellular data allowance without running anything that ought to be using it. I incurred an overage charge on Thursday, my new billing cycle started on Friday, and I immediately had used 3/4 of my allowance for the new cycle. I typically do not use my allowance in an entire month so burning through it in a day or two twice in one week is very much not right.
Possibly unrelated or not: last night I was out, did NOT use any apps that should use cellular data, and came home and my phone refused to connect to my home wifi despite turning this and that on and off. I burned cellular allowance while wifi was available.
It seems like someting on my phone, whether an app or the iOS itself, is using cellular data even while my phone is not in use. All I could do is turn off Cellular Data in Settings but that very much diminishes the usefulness of a phone that has served me well -- without data overages! -- for several years.
Please fix this, Apple!

Why is the iphone 4s 199$ but in the UK £499?

Why is the iPhone 4s 199$ but in the UK £499? They say nothing about contracts involved and in the news paper "I" it states that the iPhone 4s can be sold for as little as £99. How do you justify this? this was stated in the news paper dated weds 6th Oct on page 9.

The $199 iPhone in the US is subsidized by the cell carrier, is locked to that carrier, and requires a two-year contract. The £499 price is without any carrier subsidy or carrier lock, allowing you to use the iPhone with any carrier, including with a pay-as-you-go plan. Some UK carriers offer similar discounts when you purchase the iPhone from the carrier with an appropriate contract.
Regards.
