Folders marked for privacy in spotlight viewable in guest account

Say I select the Spotlight preference pane and add a couple of folders that I want to be excluded from searches. Now I log out and then log in again as a guest account user. I launch System Preferences and select Spotlight, and there I see all the folders that I had marked for privacy in my own account.
I attempt to remove them from the list, and I'm able to do so! Fortunately though, when I now attempt to search for these folders and their contents, I'm unsuccessful. But the thing is, when I log out and log back into my own account, the folders I previously marked private have indeed been removed from the list, evidently via the guest account.
This certainly has to be a bug, isn't it?

Well, I've set the permissions of these folders and their enclosed contents to Drop Box for Staff and No Access for Everyone. And as I've said, I added them to the privacy list in Spotlight, to exclude them from search results. Yes, they are persistent. When I log out and back in, they're still on the list and unsearchable.
My point is that I don't expect to see these folders listed in the Spotlight privacy list in any other user account, least of all the temporary guest account that Leopard has introduced, nor that I can actually remove them from the list while I'm in the guest account.

  • Unable to search for photos in Spotlight.

    Some weeks ago, I inadvertently dragged my 'Pictures' folder into the desktop, and managed to replace it, but after that, (and after temporarily renaming it 'Images') I can no longer search for photos in Spotlight.
    Spotlight Preferences now recognises 'Images' and I'm unable to change it back to 'Pictures'.
    Any advice or solution would be greatly appreciated.

    Spotlight Preferences now recognises 'Images' and I'm unable to change it back to 'Pictures'.
    As I said before there is no "photo" file type, just a bunch of other kinds (tiff, jpeg, GIF, and maybe 20 other possible extensions) that are used for photos. I don't think Spotlight uses the term "Pictures", just "images". I have a "Pictures" folder but in Spotlight I just see "Images" in the search results, and "Images" is what is uses in the preferences.
    this doesn't explain why I'm unable to search for photo files using Spotlight.
    Make sure that the area containing your photos is not excluded from search by the privacy feature in Spotlight's preferences.
    Spotlight searches for text information. For example, I have lots of photos, but spotlight only find a single one since I don't use the word "photo" in any of my file names or folder names. The one file it finds has "Created by Adobe Photoshop" in the metadata - Spotlight is keying in on the word "photo". If I type in the word "Picture" it finds the Pictures folder, but doesn't list the contents since none of those have the word "Picture" in their names or text within the file.
    What exact search term are you entering into Spotlight? Are you sure that a file exists with that term in its name, or perhaps in text included within the file?

  • Is there any hope for privacy?

    How can I continue to share apps with the family on all devices, but maintain my privacy? I don't want my contacts, iMessages etc..whatever…shared. I changed my apple ID, then had to tell everyone what it was so they could use the apps on their iPads! I see that some version of this question has been asked, but I am still unsure about the difference between an Apple ID, and my icloud account info. It's seems to be the same. So, is there any way to allow my family to continue to use their apps, while I get some sense of privacy/protection for my personal info? Can I transfer all apps to my son's Apple ID, and just remove myself from the cloud?

    You can have multiple Apple ID's but only one can be used at iCloud. They can't be merged and purchases can't be transfered to another one.
    Turn off iCloud or remove the check mark for certain settings that you don't want synched on your other devices (mail, messages, notes, etc.).
    Set up a new Apple ID for the new device for app purchases is another option.

  • Move file or mark for system move file - How?

    Hello,
    I finally bought Lightroom. Searching these posts I saw someone commenting about why a person would want to use LR to move a file. Seriously? Because I Want it to be a full on DAM solution. And the first mess I must de-tangle involves some years of very bad habits, both in iphoto and in my own head.
    Therefore, there is something that I don't think Lightroom can do yet but I would love to be found wrong. I don't think LR is much help in marking for the system to find later out side of LR, and then moving the files, right, wrong?
    I don't care if it marks the file in a way that the system can later find it and move it, or, if LR moves a selected file set already in LR. Either way what I am trying to do is organize correctly and that must mean moving found sets of files to where they belong.
    It seems like overkill to purchase iView just for this one task. Qpict is a lot cheaper than iView ($35 vs $199) and can move files around. I was just wondering though why LR cant yet do this? OR, am I wrong? Does anyone but me think this is important? Any others requesting this (LR is missing applescript support on the Mac side as well)
    Thanks
    David

    levelbest,
    If I understand your question, you've got many images in iPhoto that you want to reorganize and import into Lr. Is that the issue?
    If so, there are various ways to tackle it. One easy way is to create the new folders as you go.
    On your Desktop, make a new folder (Shift-Cmd-N). Name it "For Lr Import."
    Now open iPhoto. Scroll back to your first image in iPhoto. Let's say it's from the year 2000. Select that first image plus the photos you want to group with it. Maybe they are all shots of Niagara Falls. Export only those photos (full-size) to that Desktop folder you just made: "For Lr Import."
    Now switch to Lightroom. Go to File: Import Photos (or Shift-Cmd-I). In the window that opens, navigate to Desktop>For Lr Import. Select all the photos in that folder (click on the the first and then Cmd-A), and click Choose.
    That window will close and the Lr Import dialog will open. Your choices here will depend on what kind of files you're working with - jpeg or raw, and what you want to do with them. The options are easy to figure out. This method works faster if you choose a "move" option rather than a "copy" option because it will move the images out of the desktop folder and into whatever folder you create for them. "Copy" leaves them sitting in that Desktop folder, and you've gotta clear 'em out manually before the next export/import -- an extra step each time.
    So here's one way to go (in the Lr Import dialog):
    Under File Handling, select "Move Photos to a new location and import."
    Under Move To, navigate to Pictures. Create a new folder. Name it Photos 2000. Inside that folder, create another new folder. Name it Niagara Falls.
    Under Organize, select By Date and pick a date format.
    Don't miss taking advantage of the backup option. Check the "Backup To" box and create a similar hierarchy on a different drive. You could call the top-level folder Photo Originals.
    Now you've created a hierarchy you can continue using with each export from iPhoto. Just keep adding folders to Photos 2000 until you exhaust that year. Then create Photos 2001 the same way. All your photos will eventually be organized by year>topic>date (or however you set up the hierarchy).
    If you are converting raw to dng during import, the process is the same. You can use the backup function to preserve your raw files.
    Good luck,
    Jack

  • Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion

    Windows 7 Pro laptop will not connect to corporate domain. Multiple identical twin laptops have no problem.
    Best suggestion so far has been to leave the domain and rejoin it, BUT the relevant buttons are grayed out and the comment says "Note: The identification of the computer cannot be changed because:- The Workstation service is not running. Open the Services
    snap-in (services.msc) to ensure it is running and set its Startup Type as "Automatic"."
    In services.msc the Workstation service is already set to Automatic but is not started. When I try to start it manually the response is "Windows could not start the Workstation service on Local Computer." and then "Error 1075: The dependency service does
    not exist or has been marked for deletion."
    Rebooting gets me nowhere.
    In all other respects that laptop appears fine and can connect to the Internet, but NOT to the network. I have brought it and a twin laptop home to try on my domestic network and get the same results.
    Any ideas, please?

    Hi,
    Let us go to services.msc and navigate to Network Store Interface Service. Please check whether this service has been set to Automatic and turned on.

  • How do I tell if a user profile is marked for deletion?

    This is likely a question with a simple answer, but searching through Google and here hasn't helped.
    How do I tell if a user profile has been marked for deletion?
    Will it appear in the "Manager User Profiles" area of the User Profile Service Application management? 
    Do I need to look somewhere else? 
    This is probably obvious, and I just have looking disease, but your assistance is most appreciated!

    Hello!
    It's not supported to delete Business Partners in CRM (Web- or PC-UI). You can just flag obsolete or redundant Business Partners for archiving.
    However there is the transaction BUPA_DEL you can use in order to delete BPs.

  • Files or Folders needed for blu-ray disc missing !

    Hi,
    I have Encore CS6. It successfully builds 'blu-ray folder' & 'blu-ray image' without any error. But when I try to create an iso image of the prepared folder using 'Ashampoo Burning Studio' it gives an error message saying that the folder doesn't contain all the files and folders needed for blu-ray. But when tried to do the same for DVD, there is no error. My blu-ray burning drive is broken and I want to check my finished project from my hard drive using Daemon's Tool and VLC or PowerDirector.
    Could anybody advise how this can be fixed on Encore CS6. Encore CS5 never had this problem.
    Thanks

    Tried that as well. The player gave an unrecognized format error.
