Can someone help me debug this Spotlight problem?

I am a novice server user, running a macmini OSX 10.6.5 server - AFP filesharing from the mini to several Macs and on Windows XP machine. When I create a .pdf document on the Windows XP machine, I can search via Spotlight and identify that document. However, if I physically move it from the folder in which it was created to another folder (on the same HD on the miniserver), I can no longer find the document with Spotlight.
If I cut and paste the document from the original folder to any other folder (all these on the miniserver) I can find it with Spotlight.
Spotlight is enabled as an ACL user at the highest level on the server shared HD and shows up same on all the child folders on the HD.
Any thoughts what might be going on?
thanks!!!!

Please clarify:
Did you expect instant results, or did you allow time for spotlight to make another pass updating it's index of the volume?

FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

Thanks.

It's a POP account. I decided to clean up my mailbox today after noticing the computer was real slow after USA Today started sending their daily top stories with new graphics. Also before I noticed the problem with mail deletion - two things happened. 1) I updated security sofware as prompted by Apple and 2) downloaded Mackeeper and went throught some preliminary scans but did not buy their package. Thanks forn nstaying with me.

I'm having issues loading Youtube on my MacBook Pro for about a week now. I'm not sure if this is because of my computer or internet but my sister's PC loads Youtube completely fine. Can someone help me figure this out?

Hi, I had been having the same problem for over a week, but both my window's HP and my 2011 macbook pro barely could load youtube. What kind of router you have? I was using a belkin play router that was only 8 months old, switched to a new AirPort Extreme Base Station and now everything works perfect.

i have a canadian account. when i tried using the gift card it said i couldn't use the spanish gift card with my canadian account. can someone help me solve this problem

Sorry, but you cannot use that card with a Canadian iTunes Store account. A gift card is valid only in the country of purchase. You'll need to give or sell that card to someone in Spain.

I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices. However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

Not Charge

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

I assume you are including the STIX font as part of your epub files?
Perhaps the folks who do this blog might be able to help -- they have done some work with font embedding:

I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...

Dear Dominic
Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
Thanks again,
David
