Spotlight Not finding files Re indexing does not work

As the title says really, but there is more.
If I am logged in as one of two users, I can't find the file in the spotlight search, not quite...but if I log in as a new user, the file appears within a few characters being typed in the Spotlight of the new User.
The File title is Su Birth Cert.jpg
If I am logged in as that user, I have to type the filename and include the (.) full stop at the end just before the 'jpg' I don't need to type as far as jpg, Just the Full stop (.)
It is a jpg file, stored in a "Documents' sub folder with other ID info.
Images are checked in Spotlight Preferences...but it is an Image..in a Documents Sub folder.
I thought that may have been an issue...so i moved some documents over to the "pictures" home folder. Spotlight continued to find the Document in the Pictures folder.
I Duplicated the Birth Cert image..Spotlight still could not find it
I opened the Image in Preview and exported it as a PDF Spotlight can now find it iinstantly
I have re index multiple times, Re booted, Safe Booted, Recovery booted (where the Menu bar would not work, where the Menu bar wold not work) RESET PRAM
Dragged User Folders HDD to Spotlight Privacy, then deleted it so to Force Re indexing
used the command from other threads tp reset user folder permissions.
Disk Utility does not give the option to Repair Permissions on the User Folders HDD.....yes the user Folders are 'moved' via the Sys prefer /Users/ Advanced options, to a separate HDD.
Any one have any ideas?
Spotlight does just not seem to want to find some files.

Spotlight won’t work

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 not finding files on my Hard Drive - permissions issue?

I found that Spotlight in Mountain Lion was often not finding files when searching for words within the file (searching file names seemed to be OK).
I found various threads suggesting that it may be a problem with File Permissions. I use Dropbox and was concerned it may have messed up permissions after a relinking a while ago.
I tried to reset permissions from within Dropbox (under Settings, as suggested by some), but no help.
Finally I found this EXCELLENT TIP to reset permissions from within the Repair Utility (in Mountain Lion), Not the Disk Utility, which I had not been aware of:https://discussions.apple.com/message/20421138#20421138
It took a little while and then Spotlight re-indexed all my files. SO FAR it seems to be working well.
THANK YOU!!

Might try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Why is Spotlight not finding files in Applications Support

Why is Spotlight not finding files in Users/UserName/Library/Applications Support ?
What needs to be configured to do that?
Thanks.

CMD+F, click on Kind, select Other, and enable additional criteria. See http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/stopspotlightindex.html and http://homepage.mac.com/francines/articles/Leopard/leospot.html for starters.

And my Pacman.conf is blank
pacman.conf and Pacman.conf (with capital 'P') are two different files. Double-check this.
Are you running a 64-bit system?
Your /etc/pacman.conf should look like this: https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.g … an.conf.in but with some repositories configured: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … positories

A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive. Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found. Hoe do I correct this?

I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content. When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message. I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files. The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document). I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me.

TREX "Index does not exist" in TrexQueueServerAlert.trc

Hi Portal Gurus
We have installed EP 6 SP9 + KM/CM, then upgraded to SP16, and installed TREX 6.1 with Patch 27 all on AIX 5.3. I cannot get the indexing to work, I get green lights for the index monitor and the crawler monitor finds the index but no documents are indexed ie. all fields 0's. I have the following error in the TrexQueueServerAlert.trc file:
CLIENT_TRACE TRexApiAdmin.cpp(04615) : TNS: getServer failed for index 'adrienne_test', function: 'getAttributeList'
CLIENT_TRACE TRexApiAdmin.cpp(04695) : Index does not exist;index=adrienne_test : return code: 2007
I also get the following error in the TrexIndexServer.Alert:
TrexNet      Channel.cpp(00222) : ERROR: reading from 3 <my.ip.num.here:30001> failed with rc=14 (connection broken)

I have seen other threads for the above error that involves assigning the CM System for the TaskQueueReader which I have done but this has not solved the problem.
Points rewarded for answer that solves this issue.
Thanks

Hi Adrienne,
One more suggestion..
Trying to deactivate the Index management service and activating it back.
Steps:
1. Go to System Admin - system Config - KM - Global Services
2.Activate the "advanced mode" from the top level menu
3. Find "Index Management Service" and go inside.
4. Edit the same and remove the tick mark from "Active" field.
5. To view the change,Restart the J2ee engine. Now you Index management service in "inactive".
6. Check the Index Management Service. ( if available, it shouldnt)
7. Now activate the index management service again by placing the "tick mark" in the "Active " field and restart the entire service (j2ee,db, trex)
8. Now go the "Index Managment" and delete old indexes and its references.
9. Try creating a new index with a new data source.
10. Now it should work.
Regards,
venkat.

[SOLVED] ABS - nasm - install file (nasm.install) does not exist

I was attempting to build the nasm package and I encountered the following error:
==> ERROR: install file (nasm.install) does not exist.
When reviewing the PKGBUILD file there was a line in the header:
install=nasm.install
ArchWiki (PKGBUILD) explains the install directive
The name of the .install script to be included in the package. pacman has the ability to store and execute a package-specific script when it installs, removes or upgrades a package. The script contains the following functions which run at different times
I removed the install= line and everything appeared to work. My question is... does anyone know if the install script it was expecting to find did anything special that is going to cause me grief going forward?
Thx

I figured out what I did wrong. I copied only the PKGBUILD file out of /var/abs/extra/nasm folder .. the nasm.install was still in the folder.
Explains why I couldn't find the answer on Google.

I rented a movie and it appears in the video app, but it did not fully download. It does not appear in downloads how do I repair the file?

Did you download it using iTunes for Windows, or did you download it directly to an iOS device?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

Ressource file LM00 99 does not exist

Hi all,
I am getting an error while running LM00 in internet service in tcode se80.
The error is : "Ressource file LM00 99 does not exist"
I have done all the settings in SICF, as given in Raja's blog:
Running your first ITS WebGUI application in SAP NetWeaver 04 ABAP Edition - NSP
and activated all services but still getting an error and not able to execute the code. However other standard tcodes are executing successfully. Only this Tcode Lm00 is not running.
I'd greatful to all of u to solve this issue.
Thanks
Puneet

Hi,
Basically my error while running standard internet service for LM00 is:-
The URL http://server2.XXXXX.local:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/lm00/ was not called due to an error.
Note
The following error text was processed in the system PRO : Internal Error
The error occurred on the application server server2_PRO_00 and in the work process 0 .
The termination type was: TH_RES_FREE
The ABAP call stack was:

Module: DYNAMIC_MENU_BUTTONS_TEXT of program RLMENU
Form: CALL_SCREEN_MENU of program RLMENU
START-OF-SELECTION of program RLMENU
What can I do?
If the termination type was RABAX_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination in the system PRO in transaction ST22.
If the termination type was ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination on the application server server2_PRO_00 in transaction SM21.
If the termination type was ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can search for more information in the trace file for the work process 0 in transaction ST11 on the application server server2_PRO_00 . In some situations, you may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.

When exporting to Photoshop can not find files

I have a drive that when I export an image to Photoshop it can not find the files. Any suggestions on getting them to read?

I'm using MAC OS 10.49 the latest. I have 9 external hard drives. I can bring in all thumb nail images from all drives and as I update meta data it changes on all drives. But when I go to edit a specific image in Photoshop any image from this one drive and only this one drive I get error message "can not find file". If go out of Lightroom and into Bridge I can see the image and launch it in photoshop. It only happens so far with this one drive. I have several of the same manufacture drives. Does this help!

Windows can not find ' FILE ': error.

I have downloaded and installed the production version of SQL Developer. (1.0.0.14.67)
Windows XP SP 2.
When I started it for the first time I checked all the file association check boxes.
If I double click on a .sql file the following windows error occurs:
Windows can not find '<file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To Search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.
SQL Developer does startup. The error message is closed when the OK button is selected.
Any Ideas?
Regards;
Robert

Hi Robert,
Just to confirm, SQL Developer does actually open the file. The only issue is the error message displayed. I have logged a bug for that.
There is a work around until that is sorted. If you use explorer to associate the file types with SQL Developer, they open without this error.

I can not download newer themes. It continues to say So and so could not be installed because Firefox does not have the needed files. Also.. For the newer version, where is the tools option?

I am trying to download a new theme. Lava theme. However, it will not let me download that or any other theme for that matter.
It continues to say, So and so could not be installed because Firefox does not have the needed files. What does this mean?
Also, on the newer version.. I can not find the tools option..

The Firefox versions which come with many Linux distros have the default Mozilla Firefox updater disabled and use the distros built-in updater.
