Spotlight can't find file (even after re-indexing)

I have a files right on my desktop that neither spotlight or finder can find in their search results. Don't know when this started happening, but very weird. I've re-indexed several different ways but still no luck. Anybody run into this?

Baltwo: Thanks for the try, but your answer had no bearing.
The PROBLEM (which I solved) was that the user (the name with the little house next to it), had had its priveleges changes from Read/Write to Write Only (Drop Box).
I have no idea how or why that happened, but the result was Spotlight couldn't find anything. Once I put the privelege back to Read/Write, everything works fine now and Spotlight is once again all seeing! The priveleges are those little Sharing and Permissions section at the bottom of the Info summary (Get Info).
I am back to using Spotlight again and I've made sure any changes to me (the user) are under my lock and key.

Spotlight stopped finding files, even after "index". They're visible files, not system files (like.jpg, .xls, .doc). This happened for no apperent reason.

Worked well with Yosemite the first week, but now it doesn't.

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Spotlight can't find files

Hi,
I work in a production plant where we're cross-referencing thousands of catalogue numbers over a few drives. Spotlight has always seemed to work flawlessly, but we've recently installed the latest os update and suddenly, we have disappearing files. If you access the file through the finder, it's there, but spotlight (nor any of the system search tools) can find the file... and this is a blatant search like "1490" - when the file name is "MFA1490.pdf" for example.
Can someone tell me what the crap is going on here? It's got me spooked to say the least. As a side note, we have another machine running Panther and we were able to locate the file over the network using that machine.
I did a verify on the drive we were searching and it came up clean.
Noticed another forum where someone was making a similar complaint, but whoever the correspondant was, didn't really say anything other than "go out and buy file buddy" and marked the forum 'solved'.

Hey, Pluggernaut.
I'm not sure what precise Spotlight glitch you've happened upon, or how to fix it, but even if I knew and could tell you how to repair or work around it, it'd still leave you spooked! Spotlight is fascinating technology that makes many new things possible, but Apple made a big, big mistake by hanging all of the OS search functions off of SL and its index. The pre-Tiger Find command searched the hard drive directly (and all of it) for matches - you couldn't search content or many kinds of metadata, but you had confidence in the results at least. If Find didn't find it, it wasn't on your machine. Period. SL by contrast relies on the index for everything - meaning that if a file is in a place that SL doesn't index by design (and they don't tell you what locations), or has been designated private, you can't ask about it at all. Worse still, SL might for some reason fail to complete its index, or the index can become corrupt, and SL has no way of informing you of this. And again if it's not in the index then it's invisible to Spotlight. The upshot is that a negative search result in SL may mean either that no matching file exists - or SL has missed it for one of these many reasons. There is no way to tell which it is - you just have to guess. Or I suppose, simply take it on faith that the answer is complete. (Indeed I think you can't really defend Spotlight without some measure of Faith - faith that it is, in fact, always working correctly or perhaps faith that Apple, in its inscrutable wisdom, really does know what is best for us. But I digress.)
The bottom line is that if you need to be confident that your filename searches are comprehensive then you must abandon Spotlight for that and turn to a non-index based mechanism like Easyfind, or Panther's Find command (if you can bear the pain of reinstalling your OSes).
Of course the fix from Apple is obvious - let Spotlight handle the cool stuff and return the mundane, workaday search duties to a Find-type utility like Finder. (Or at least return it to the OS so people can use it when they have to be confident in the answer.) Meanwhile, good luck!

Spotlight can't find file

I just saved a file in a subfolder in my documents, but Spotlight is not able to find it. It is a .png file (picture file). Spotlight does however find other files in that folder. I'm searching via filename, not content. If I open the folder, I can see and use the file without a problem. I have copy/pasted the file name to make sure it is not misspelled.
Any insight into why spotlight is proving useless here will be greatly appreciated. I'm loosing faith in OS X and I'm really sad about it.
Thanks

Dimitris, my own suggestion is very simple: forget Spotlight. Disable it using Spotless, which is available here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33800
Then download either, or both Easyfind http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707 and Find File http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10906315
I haven't used Spotlight for over a year now, and have even found a way to remove that pesky magnifying glass from my menubar.
I can find anything I want, any time I want, very fast and simply and above all - reliably.

Spotlight can't find files on my camera's SD card.

If I do a search (via Spotlight, via the "pill" oval, or via cmd-F) on my 32gb SD card for "RW2" (Panasonic RAW file), I get nothing. If I do the same search on my HDD, I get lots of hits, as there are lots of RW2 files on my machine, but none of the results reside on the SD card. This tells me Leopard can see the files, just not on my SD card.
The card is FAT32 by neccessity. Is there something I'm doing wrong to not be able to acess the files via Spotlight? EasyFind finds them in 2 seconds.
Thanks.

I've had some luck with excluding a drive and then removing the exclusion. This triggers spotlight to reindex a drive, maybe a memory card too?

I have an older i touch, and can't find icloud even after updating my itunes

i have an older itouch that I am trying to get to use icloud. i have updated my pc to the newest itunes and synced the ipod, but i still can't find how to get icloud on there.

It might be too old to operate iCloud. Make sure you are using IOS 5 or IOS 5.01.Those are the on IOS's that can run iCloud. Hope this helps!!

IPhone 4S can't find network even after reinstall of IOS

Since updating to IOS 7.0.6 my iPhone cannot find wifi networks. Tried resetting network settings. Then turned on wifi and no networks. Next tried resetting all settings. This time cannot turn on wifi it is greyed out. Went for the ultimate reset. Wiped the phone and did a fresh reinstall of IOS 7.0.6. Restarted the phone from backup and wifi worked. I was able to connect to my home network. Within 15 minutes the phone started becoming sluggish and hot. I shut it down to cool off and when I turned it back on, no wifi. If I leave wifi off the phone seems to act normally. If I can get wifi to turn on the phone gets sluggish and hot. iPad and other computers have no problem connecting to wifi. Router is airport and is 3 years old.

Just now received an software update from apple , now it is fixed!!!!!

Why my spotlight can not find my personal files ? It can find them before but can not find them now,I want to know why?

why my spotlight can not find my personal files ? It can find them before but can not find them now,I want to know why?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Spotlight ▹ Privacy
The list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing is shown (it may be empty.) Click the plus (“+”) icon to add an item to the list. Select your boot volume (under DEVICES) and add it to the list. Then remove it from the list by selecting it and clicking the minus (“-“) icon.
Spotlight will rebuild the index. If you try to do a Spotlight search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, a pulsing dot will appear in the icon. When the dot disappears, the indexing is complete.

Spotlight still can't find files that are right in front of me

Sigh. I'm noticing that Spotlight still cant find files correctly. Maybe I'm the stupid one here, but when I do a search on "This Mac" for a "File Name", and the "Kind" is set to "Folders", and I set the word "Wonder" as the search parameter, how come it results in no items, yet I'm LOOKING at a folder called "The Wonder Stuff" in my music library? All the Spotlight file types are checked "on" and nothing is being excluded or is set to private.
God, I long for the System 9 find. I really do. Almost every day.

Hi,
When you say "Spotlight," are you using the text-input box that displays when you click the magnifying glass at the upper right-corner of the menubar? Or are you pressing command-F in the Finder and using a Finder window?
When I type "Aimee" in the Spotlight text input box mentioned above, it returns/finds the "Aimee Mann" folder that is in my Music folder.
Have you checked out EasyFind? It might meet your needs.
Hope this helps!

I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
Would you know how to resolve this issue?
It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Can not find file must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

can not find file, must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

Hello BadSteve,
It sounds like iTunes seems to have lost track of all your music and you must locate each file individually. I would recommend at this point that you check for 3rd party plugins to see if there are any causing an issue:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
If the issue persists after removing the plugins, I would next try recreating your iTunes library:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Can't find home drive after reinstallation of O.S.X

Dear friends,
I have one ibook G4 and a Macbook Pro. Two days ago, the ibook G4 failed to start up, I tried in safe mode then pass through. Then I run Onyx-automation followed by restart, after that neither my desktop nor the sidebar of the finder window show the home drive icons,( I partitioned the internal hard disk into two drives). But when I run Disk utility and found both are there correctly, including the files and capacity, usage etc. it tested both drives "appears OK". Yesterday, I tried to reinstall O.S.X Tiger 10.4 without removing previous system via a firewire to my Macbook Pro which installed with Leopard( the disc drive of my ibookG4 corrupted last year).
finally, the hard drives are still invisible, I did tick the display options for hard disks from the preference panel of Finder. To the worse, the same problem happened to my Macbook Pro after I restarted it.
It seems a simply software issue, physically the hard disks are ok through the disk verify and permission verify.
Headache! Please advise ASAP.
thank you,

what happens when you enter commandshiftc in finder? that should show all the drives. if it doesn't, maybe the drive has acquired the hidden flag. run the following command in terminal
sudo chflags 0 /
you'll have to enter your admin password which you won't see as you type it. that's normal. see if the drive shows up.

hi, V.K.
after running the two commands, suddenly, The Macintosh HD icon showed up at both desktop and sidebar in finder, but the other drive (I partition into two parts) still not showing. Then I open Onyx and tick the "unhidden those hidden files", I found that drive. So I conclude it was hidden by sth. But I don't know how to unhidden it, the icon always in grey.
Can you please instruct again.
thank you.

aha, so it was a hidden flag after all. then run
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
you may need to restart after that to make the second drive show up.

sorry, I haven't dealt with Tiger in such a long time I don't remember if it respects chflags. ask on Tiger forums.

I don't have a source attribute for this (maybe I wrote it myself!):
There are visibility toggling instructions at [this web site|http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html] using Terminal or Applescript.
If you don't like Applescript or Terminal there is an application called [JuhOS X|http://www.saunalahti.fi/~juhruo/juhosx> that lets you toggle visibility on individual items. It does not have the most intuitive interface but your drive should appear on the first page. Check it really is invisible, then click on the drive and toggle visibility. Effects will not take place until you restart your finder, so the easiest thing to do then will be to restart your computer.

I am trying to install itunes 10.5.1 but it can't find file IXP609.TMP where can i get this

i am trying to install itunes 10.5.1 but it can't find file IXP609.TMP so stopping the upgrade. how do i upgrade itunes? I tried uninstalling but it can't find another file 389 so I can neither uninstall nor reinstall. Any thoughts please?

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

I have the following jars in my Web App Libraries (WEB-INF/lib):
standard.jar
commons-fileupload.jar
antlr.jar
struts.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-validator.jar
myswl-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar
struts-el.jar
jstl.jar
commons-digester.jar
Struts is version: 1.2.9.
JRE / JDK: 1.5.0_06 (Program files shows I have JRE 1.5.0_05 in the tree as well)
Note: Struts will work if I comment out the tiles plug-in in the struts-config.xml file.

you don�t call o files-defs.xml in jsp?

Spotlight can't find file (even after re-indexing)
