How do I get Spotlight to search a shared Time Capsule drive?

I purchased a 2TB Time Capsule that I am storing all of my photos, videos, etc. on, but I've found that Spotlight does not index and search that drive. I have searched everywhere for a solution, but can't find one.  Does anyone have a solution to this?  It is not physically attached to my MacBook Air - I am accessing it wirelessly.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

OK, the Terminal is a the way that you access UNIX shell commands (the Mac command line interface). Instead of clicking on things you have to type the actual command into the "prompt" hit return, and then the shell executes the command. So you go to the Utilities folder and double click Terminal to launch it. Exactly what you see when it finishes launching will depend on how you have configured it, so it won't be exactly what I see, but there will be some words of encouragement and then the prompt, where you will type things:
Last login: Tue Mar 20 14:06:01 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
-bash:~francine$
The "$" is where you start typing, or you can copy and paste things in also. You would then type:
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/YOURDRIVENAME/
You must make sure everything you type is exactly as given, thus you may want to simply copy and paste this:
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/
and, making sure there is no space after that final "/" character, type the name of your drive exactly as it appears in Finder. If the name has any spaces in it be sure to surround it with quotes:
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/"MY FAT DRIVE"/
Then hit the Return key. You will be asked for your admin password, and given a little lecture (this is only delivered the first time you use a sudo command). The password you type is not echoed to the screen in anyway whatsoever, so type very carefully and when you finish hit the Return key again. You'll then get the notice that indexing is enabled. Type the word exit, hit Return, and then quit Terminal.

  • How can I get Spotlight to search my Users/Shared folder?

    How can I get Spotlight to search my Users/Shared folder?  It searches the folders in the other users, but not Shared.  When I CMD-I the Shared folder, my group has read-write privileges (all groups have at least read-only privileges).  When I do the search in the Finder window (with the Shared folder highlighted), It gives me the options of This Mac and "Shared".  When I click on "Shared," it does not give me any results.  I keep documents, photos, iTunes data, etc, in this Shared folder, and would like to be able to use Spotlight on it.

    I appreciate the 108 "views," but there weren't any replies, so I took another shot at figuring it out.  I did a CMD-I on the Shared folder, and made the "everyone" group have read-write access, and it worked!  I'm not sure if its because now all groups have read-write access, or just because the "everyone" group does, but I don't care at this point.    I'll have to restrict a few folders within in there, but at least it searches the main Shared folder itself now.

  • Get Spotlight and Search to work on external drive

    I have two external hard drives.  Both are Western Digital, about the same size.
    When I use Spotlight and Search on one of them, they display NO results.  The other drive displays results.  (They both have a lot of the same files.)  I KNOW the files are on the drive!
    I've tried adding and removing from the Privacy box of Spotlight preferences.  (it seems to do nothing when I do that - I don't see the spotlight as busy or anything) I've rebooted.  I've deleted the spotlight file on the drive and it seems to come back (.spotlight-v100).  Both drives are formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"  The Info box have the same settings - Everyone can read and write.  Only one small difference.  The drive that Spotlight/Search does NOT work on has a checkbox at the bottom that says "ignore ownership on this drive" with the box Checked.  The drive that works does not even have that checkbox or "ignore ownership...."
    I don't know what else to check.  I've searched the forums and just found suggestions to add and remove from Privacy.
    Help!

    Thank you for your reply.  Sorry, I have been there, done all that and much, much MORE.  I have read everything Mac thread around and tried all the workarounds to force spotlight to reindex the drive.  I still don't know that is even the problem.
    HOWever, I did fix it.
    I copied all my files from that drive to another drive.  Then I reformatted the drive and copied the files back over.  Now it works like it should.  So somehow, something at the "root" "format" level was messed up and using Disk Utility, Erase. Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) turned it around.
    So for me this is a fix.  I know for someone else that does not have another drive to temporarily copy the files to, it might not be an option.  But, at least erasing and formatting worked.
    **p.s. I'm only marking this Post as solving so that if someone else gets into the same fix.  At least they know they can try Disk Utility.

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?

    How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
    Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.

    Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
    Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it.

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • How do I get a popup to appear every time a download finishes?

    How do I get a popup to appear every time a single download finishes? I want a big popup window. I want it to interrupt me as I'm watching full screen movies. In otherwords, if I download 100 different files, when the first finishes, I get a popup. Second, another popup. Third, you get the idea. I want it to be the opposite of low profile. I want it to be something I can't ignore, something that most people wouldn't want--to be annoying. Like me.

    First place I tried. I've searched online extensively. trying this as last resort. Please don't tell me where to look. I've probably already looked there. I'm hoping someone sees this and knows of an addon specifically and points me there exactly. Otherwise, posting to this question will only dilute its freshness.

  • In ios 7, how do I get the calendar to open each time in list mode?

    In ios 7, on the iphone 5, how do I get the calendar to open each time in list mode? It always opens is strange new mode and goes to list mode only if I click the search icon.

    For some weird reason beyond my comprehension, and I am a smart fellow I think; Adobe starting with acrobat/reader 8 has decided to hid the menu icon Ribbon (i guess you would call it) until you have a PDF open. In versions past if you had these icons on the screen you could actually use them to open Pdf's or create pdfs from scans.
    Pesonally for me its a dumb idea. But was justified as allowing for more screen area to view. The guy that thought up the idea should be taken out behind the barn and given 10 licks for stupid ideas. :-)

  • How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

    How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

    Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
    By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
    I doubt the designer actually uses the app.

    Bought new Mac Retina; how do I get CS 5 on it; bought external hard drive but get error msg 15?

    Hi there,
    I was able to format the Toshiba hard drive on my old Mac and copy the Adobe Suite onto it. I followed instructions to format the hard drive to the Retina Mac through Disk Utility, but I still can see the external drive on the new Mac.
    Any suggestions…?

  • How do I get Windows 8 Pro to recognize my optical drive?

    How do I get Windows 8 Pro to recognize my optical drive? I put in an installation disk and the OS does not recognize it is there?

    I looked for drivers for my superdrive but they don't appear to be available from the manufacturer (Sony). Fortunately I was able to load the contents of the installation disk onto the mac side of my computer and transfer it onto the windows side where I could install it. So I am fine for now but it would be nice to have a functioning optical drive on my windows side if possible.
    The superdrive is internal. I downloaded the bootcamp support files from bootcamp assistant right before installing windows so I assume if a driver exists it would have been installed.
    Do you know where I could get a Windows 8 driver for an internal OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5690H?
    Thank you for your help.

  • How do you get rid of 'empty' pre-roll time in logic pro 9?

    how do you get rid of the pre-roll time in logic pro 9?  
    My project's start time is 8-bars before any material, or tempos, or anything...  
    Can't move the start time back to ")" (zero)    STUCK!!  at -8
    The song now has 20 seconds of dead air time in a pre-roll.
    None of these worked or revealed anything...
    -tried making a new copy of song
    -looked into every track's file information looking for a spurious entry
    -tried deleting the time/space

    Hi
    Check for any Track Automation nodes in the "preroll'.
    CCT
    Edit
    You should note that generally negative (or zero) project start numbers should be avoided at all cost: there are many peculiar behaviour problems associated with them.
