Spotlight not indexing after Sierra upgrade

Posted on September 22, 2017 - September 22, 2017 by vrpc

Looks like this helped me:

  1. first I removed all selections under System Preferences/ Spotlight/ search results
  2. restart
  3. use terminal:
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    wait 20s
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/*
    you should get a message indicating that indexing is enabled.

simple HTML page redirection

Posted on May 15, 2017 by vrpc

Create page index.html (or which ever is your server default page to be loaded when you access a folder)

type:

<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;URL=’http://domain.com/page-to-be-redirected-to'” />

this way when someone opens domain.com/old-location will be redirected to domain.com/page-to-be-redirected-to

WiFi doesn’t work but it did yesterday on my MacBook air

Posted on April 26, 2017 - April 26, 2017 by vrpc

Many times I get this question. (The user didn’t change the WiFi configuration at home)
Usually the problem is caused by resent OS update.

Many times to fix it is to reset the NVRAM (here is more info about NVRAM: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063)

  1. Shutdown your computer
  2. press the power button and hold these four keys until your computer makes the chaim sound twice.

3. let the computer finish booting and test the WiFi connection

Indexing error in Outlook 2016

Posted on April 21, 2016 - April 24, 2017 by vrpc

This is the error I received when trying to search in outlook 2016 : “Something went wrong and your search couldn’t be completed”

simple fix for computers running windows 10 and outlook 2016

1.  CLOSE Outlook down completely
2.  Click Start Button
3.  Type “Index”
4.  Select “Indexing Options”
5.  Click Modify
6.  Check the box beside “Microsoft Outlook”
7.  Open Outlook and do a search.

(in my case to fix it I had to  adjust step #7 since outlok was already selected and I had to remove the check click ok then select modify again and check outlook again)
