Lion Spotlight Indexing Problems temporarily hanging all other apps

Has anyone else had problems with Lion's spotlight indexing causing all other applications to spuratically / temporarily not respond?
Is there a way to turn off the indexing on startup and only kick it off manually?
Also, everytime I boot, it runs fsck causing boot / restart to take a long time.
Is there a way to disable this?

Ended up deleting the spotlight database and rebooted.  Seemed to fix spotlight issue.
I am still having slow boot issues with fsck running at every boot however.

    Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
    Do a
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • ITunes 10.7 won't send 5.1 audio out, all other apps/games work

    Hi all,
      I'm trying to get the videos I bought on iTunes 10 to play in 5.1 out of iTunes on Windows 7. The videos have Stereo and 5.1, as per their "Get Info". PowerDVD, WoW, all other apps and games playback 5.1 audio on my system perfectly, as do 5.1 videos using VLC.
    When playing an iTunes video with stereo and 5.1 audio, stereo plays fine, 5.1 is silent when I switch to it.
    I read that Quicktime's preferences need to be set. I did that. 5.1 audio, 16-bit, 48k. Still nothing.
    The audio device is SoundMAX which came with my Asus P5E. Drivers are updated.
    The same thing happens when setting my audio device to my Logitech G35 5.1 headphones.
    This seems to be more of a Quicktime/iTunes problem than a driver problem since everything else works.
    Or, does iTunes/Quicktime Player simply not work with 5.1 properly on Windows?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Many thanks b noir for pointing me in the right direction.  I now have iTunes 10.7 up and running and it works fine.
    After your question I was sure I didn't have a smart card service and searched for ways to reinstall it.  I also was advised by my computer literate brother to recheck Windows Updates for Smart Card services.  I found the (long ago hidden by me) Microsoft Base Smart Card Cryptographic Service Provider Package (KB909520) and ran that update.  Then I retried the process I found at a web site named lazybit.  The specific URL for that one is
    http://lazybit.com/index.php/2007/12/19/windows_xp_re_install_smart_card_service  if anyone needs it. 
    I'm honestly not sure which piece did what but I now have a service named Smart Card Helper, and iTunes opens just fine.  Good enough for me - thanks again!!

    I have foud the solution - rather stupid. The system setting for audio input was at 70%, increasing it to 100% solves the problem!

  • Safari 3.0.4 freezing all other apps in 10.4.11?

    Has anyone experienced a freezing of all other apps when using Safari? Here is what happens: I can use Safari and move freely to different web pages, but when I try to open another application, the icon for the other app appears in the dock bouncing for a long while, but then the icon stops bouncing and just appears in the dock as if I added it to the dock (i.e, it doesn't have a black triangle underneath the icon and the app doesn't open). This happens to all apps- printer utility, disk utility, word, activity log, etc., except dashboard widgets, which works. I can't even open system preferences or the force quit dialog box with the mouse. I can, however, right click on the icon in the dock and force quit from there. The right click opens up a menu which suggests the app is frozen in the middle of trying to open. Force quitting from the app, however, doesn't fix anything. I try to re-open the app, but I still cannot use any apps and cannot print from Safari.
    The only thing that fixes this situation is to hold the power button down to shut down the computer. I wait 30 seconds and restart. I then run disk utility, but the results says no permission repairs are needed and disk repair comes back with a clean report. What's happening? I've had this problem happen more than once--maybe 3-4 times, but it doesn't happen all the time. I'm using 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Thanks for your help!

    SafariPlus v.1.6a1 works perfectly with Safari 3.0.4.
    I allow Flash and Gifs and don't have a problem.
    But it could be some other third party 'enhancer' that caused the problem.
    Input Managers can be tricky beasts. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on.

  • TS3274 I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine.

    I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine. Help!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

    My ipod touch 64G doesnt allow me to do anything in my music app. I cant even play music or select anything.  But I can use all other apps.  How do I fix this??? PLS Help me:(

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • IPhoto 6.0.6 (322) Will Not Print (all other apps can)

    Good evening,
    I automatically updated iPhoto to 6.0.6 (322) and now get this message when trying to print a picture:
    "No pages from the document were selected to be printed."
    I copied the message from the opened tab. All other apps can print.

    jrrplie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions after the iPhoto update? If no give it a go now. Also turn off photo sharing if you have it turned on in the iPhoto's prefs (longshot).
    Also check out this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4214124&#4214124
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    Hi there,
    You mentioned you used the Cleaner Tool to uninstall everything, but still have Adobe App Manager (AAM) installed? Please try running the Cleaner Tool again (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
    Remove all CC files and be sure to uninstall AAM.
    Then download the CC Desktop App here: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud

    Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
    If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
    Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
    They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.
