I killed my Spotlight after 10.6.5 Combo... please help!

Okay, so I had renamed the Search.bundle file to Search2.bundle to hide my spotlight icon. However, I forgot about this when I updated to 10.6.5 (combo).
Now, I have no icon there (but the placement is there), and I get this error in console:
11/11/10 1:03:13 AM SystemUIServer[110] SystemUIServer caught exception (Cannot lock focus on image <NSImage 0x10024eb80 Size={0, 0} Reps=(

From what it looks like, the MDworker process is active, but theres definitely something wrong with the my menubar / spotlight icon/ spotlight in general.
Please help, thank you. I just did a fresh install of SL and had finished setting up all my apps and tweaks.. Took hours and I completely forgot to change that back before I updated.
Thanks in advance.

I have same problem.
Installed 10.6.5 a weeks ago, then realised later that spotlight was not working as well as entourage search. Didn't think it was update related. Tried to fix spotlight by reindexing the main volume in spotlight privacy. But this only created an error.
Then tried various sudo commands, of stopping, starting reindexing spotlight. Had no luck.
Decided to back up hard drive, reformatted computer and loaded system in from scratch. Running snow leopard. Everything was working fine again.
Now a week later ran system update with 10.6.5 and now spotlight and entourage search don't work again. It must be an issue with the software update.
Has anyone had the same problem, as would rather have apple fix with a software update than waste time, messing with the system.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem in other places as well, for example when i downloaded Easyfind right now, clicking the small magnifying glass button on the right of the file name (shown below) would usually open up finder highlighting the file, but now nothing happens when i click on that button!
Is there a solution for this, as this was a very useful feature which i used ALL the time?

Bluetooth shuttted down after I updated to Mavericks, please help me !
I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
until I updated him from SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD and the APPLE MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
I asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?

dietmarfromdeu,
if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse?

Try unsyncing the sone and then resyncing. That works sometimes. Sometimes restoring from backup works. Other times nothing seems to work.. Yuo are not alone since iOS5 and iTunes 10.5/6.

I think you should call via phone or perhaps take it to a phone store. I suggest taking your id, box packaging and other necessities such as the reciept of the phone being purchased.
Hope this helped

Just go back in photoshop and use the Slice Select tool, then just click and select the slice and hit delete - if you're not sure which one is the active slice just right click and find the one that has the Delete Slice option.
It's possible you either added the slices by accident or if you received it from someone they just had the slices hidden. For the future, you can go to View > Show > Slices to display (or hide) slices.

Not ure what this has to do with iPhoto. Perhaps you'd be better off asking on the forum for your MacBookPro.

I had this problem too with my newly bought iPhone 4s.I went to a technician shop to ask what the problem is and they said they could fix it however they would charge £35 and I believed this was too much. I was playing around with my iPhone to see if I could fix this problem I went on setting the clicked on the music section at the music section there is the button called sound check which was off so I decided to turn it on . After I turned it on my sound came back I was ecstatic I saved myself £35 and having to return the phone.

Janieburmy,
You can always deauthorize all your machines from your store account page — just log in and view your account settings and there's a button to deauth all your machines. Which just means for the other machines, it will ask you for your store ID / password the next time you play a purchased song.
So, let's try the filter experiment.
On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
Delete the key named LowerFilter.
Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
I'm particularly interested in getting rid of the "AFS2K" driver in the chain — that's a old driver from a company that hasn't existed in years.
To answer your last question, why am I doing this?... I'm paying off a karmic debt. And someday we'll start that Tequila for Toonz paypal account and then I'll be set.

Cannot sync Ipad after updating to ios7! Please help!

I just updated my family's Ipad, called "Soy's iPad" to ios7. I created a backup on my iTunes account just before I updated. Now, when trying to sync my Ipad after downloading ios7 iTunes gives me the error:
"The iPad "Soy's iPad" could not be synched because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad.
To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store choose Store > Authorize this Computer."
So I authorize the computer and iTunes gives me the message "This computer has already been authroized." So, naturally, I try to sync the iPad again. It gives me the same "computer is no longer authorized" error message. It's an infinite loop. Please help me get my data back on my iPad.
Signing out and then back in to iTunes does not help either. Also, under my iTunes account under manage devices, Soy's iPad does not even show up as one of my devices anymore. How to I add my iPad back as an authroized device on my Apple ID?
Is anybody else having this error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated since there are many cherished memories along with important data on my family's iPad. Please help me get my iPad working again!

Your iPad is not syncing with iTunes now and before it does start to sync and before you create a backup that overwrites the current backup that holds all of your data and camera roll photos, you should probably turn off autosync. I should have thought of that before, but if the iPad isn't syncing, no damage has been done.
Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK.
If it doesn't make that much difference to anybody, you could try deleting the app and see if that will let you sync after you delete it. You will lose all of your progress in the game if you delete it, but - if you did create a backup before you updated - then your game progress should be included in that backup.
BTW, did you try restoring from the backup that you created before you updated, and then try to sync with iTunes? Restoring form that backup should restore the old settings that were on the iPad and the iPad was syncing properly while using those settings.

Question about smc fancontrol after installing Leopard... please help

hi,, i recently had my macbook pro a clean install leopard,.. everything is going fine afterwards until i installed smc fancontrol, smc fancontrol is working fine, but my problem is, i forgot to set the default fan speed on the smc fancontrol which is 2000rpm before i did the clean install, the fan speed was 2500rpm when i clean installed leopard, forgetting to set the default 2000 rpm back,. and now after i installed leopard, and then i installed back the smc fancontrol, the default now is 2500rpm! i cannot set it back to the default, which is 2000rpm, when i tried smc fancontrol keeps telling me that it FELL SHORT OF MINIMUM, which it thinks the default rpm is 2500, how can i get it back to the real default rpm of macbook pro which is 2000rpm? i'm afraid that constantly running my macbook pro forever to 2500rpm will cause the wear and tear of my macbook pro's fans , please help me, i really don't know what i'll do here....

hi, thanks, btw, what would i look for in the activity monitor after i closed the smc fancontrol?
Check all your processes under the CPU tab. They should all be very low at idle--like right after you boot. If you have some process running like 30% for example, that could cause the fans to run faster.
should i check in the activity monitor if the smcfancontrol still runs after i closed it? i
It shouldn't show up in their after you close it.
