Spotlight not Indexing (or showing any results)

Spotlight isn't working at all for me in Leopard. I had just done a format and clean install of Leopard, all apps and fully updated OS and apps patches. It's been 2 days now so I'd expect Spotlight would have indexed everything. However Spotlight returns no results for anything typed in the search box. Nothing.
Could the following be related? When I open Spotlight preferences>privacy and try to add ANY of my drives to the prevent list, it returns this error for all drives: "Privacy List Error. the item couldn't be added or removed because of an unknown error."

I fixed it and want to post what worked for anyone else with this problem. Spotlight would not return ANY result after the clean Leopard install. I cleaned out ALL the caches with the program Cocktail Leopard edition. That did the trick. Instantly Spotlight began indexing my drives. While I've used Cocktail for years I also found a program called "MainMenu" which has an actual button for "Re-index Spotlight". I didn't need it because Cocktail worked. But should cocktail not work for you I would try MainMenu next.

  • Spotlight NOT Indexing or SHOWING files? Nothing shows IN PRIVATE

    Being stupid and doing something without knowing what would happen, I read a tip on battery life to add the HD or folders to PRIVACY to TURN OFF INDEXING.
    Well now, nothing happens when I search. Of course, as it was, when I went to PRIVACY, nothing shows up as listed (OMIT) and I have tried adding to privacy, of course, nothing shows up, so I can't add it then delete it - nothing happens when I add something to privacy.
    I can not get spotlight to work, I have tried OYNX the mac utility that had a RESET INDEXING and nothing happens.
    Please, there must be a way to turn INDEXING back on and or seeing the FILES that are being omitted, (ARE THEY HIDDEN?) - please help, have tried booting to safe and running disc utility but after 10 minutes of watching the DISC UTILITY NEVER FIND THE HARD DRIVE, I got fed up.
    Please tell me there is another way (besides disc utility, waited 10+ minutes).
    Thanks

    have tried booting to safe and running disc utility but after 10 minutes of watching the DISC UTILITY NEVER FIND THE HARD DRIVE, I got fed up.
    Uhm, was this a spinning radian you're talking about? That is trying to repair your HDD.
    I booted to external (Target mode, Leopard) ran disk util on macbook pro TIGER HARD DRIVE, it said it was going to take 2 hours to repair.
    Opps, you may have real problems now. Forget that, use your Tiger Install Disk to repair your Tiger Mac.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X TIGER Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    Wondering if the reason the PRIVATE never showed up was due to it not having enough time to display?
    Nope, your HDD/OS is messed up.
    Man I am so upset about that TIP, they should warn you that its going to do something like that.
    That tip is a simple operation & should not cause any problems, you had serious problems before trying that tip, you just hadn't noticed anything other than the not searching apparently.
    Will repairing disk permissions work? (albeit 2 hours, from my Leopard Target Mode).
    Repair the HDD before Repairing Permissions, and +DO NOT+ do either from a Leopard Disk.

  • Spotlight is not showing any results!

    I just upgraded to Leopard and now my spotlight app will not show any results when typed upon. I have tried to re-index the volume through system pref. but it didnt work. Anyone know any other methods to get it back into shape? thanks

    enter the following terminal commands form an admin account:
    sudo mdutil -i off /
    sudo mdutil -E /
    sudo mdutil -i on /
    please copy and paste them exactly as given. you'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see) after the first command. that's normal.
    the commands turn spotlight off, delete the index and turn it back on.

  • Not showing any results V_V2 resheduling sales and stock transfer documents

    My client using   IS Retail .  First i create sales order i want resheduling perticular order through V_V2  i enter article and site ,process sales documents,process stock transfer order,unconfirm quantity and leave simulation   but it does not showing any results...previous showing from 2008 to 2010 sales orders only....
    Please give answer i am waiting your reply...
    Edited by: amitp2121 on Mar 3, 2011 11:57 AM

    Hi Hweiling,
    In my opinion V_V1 used to create confirmed backorder (line item where confirm quantity in first schedule line is 0 and there is no second schedule line) .
    V_V2 is used when you want to alocate your stock based of priority or some criteria.
    For example you have order 1 that created on 07.2007 confirmed but you hasn't delivered yet,  then you have order 2 that created on 08.2007 it's not confirmed, and you have the other order 3 that create on 01.2008 and it's confirmed ready to deliver 03.01.2008. You can use V_V2 to alocate the stock to first order, 2nd order and third order. So you can deliver the first order first, 2nd order and then the 3rd order will be in backorder.
    If you run V_V1, it's only update the stock for second item (if stock is enough).
    If you think why it's not update the order that you want  when you run V_V2, please check the criteria and the stock.
    Guys please correct me if I am wrong.

  • Disk Utility does not show any result....

    Dear Apple Community,
    on my mid 2012 Mac Book Air the disk utility test does not show any result. The test just stops at some point and can be restarted again, but does not show weather the SSD is damaged or not.
    Does anyone know what this means?
    Thanks a lot for your advice!

    I think this happens to everyone (who uses "Live Verification") in Mavericks.   Occasionally the output from the test shows correctly, but usually not.  I guess this will get fixed someday. 
    Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    For now, probably you will get best results from using command-r at startup to get into "recovery mode", then run disk utility from there.

  • Parameter not showing any results

    Hi all,
    To start off, I am a SAP BI consultant starting to learn crystal report, so I am quite a novice.
    Currently I have a problem with parameters, I am using the xtreme.mdb to learn crystal report.
    My crystal report is 2008.
    My report is quite simple, it has customer id and customer name. I have created a parameter using dynamic list of values instead of static. The value of the datasource is customer id and the "allow discrete" value is set to true.
    So far, no problems. When I inserted the parameter in the report and preview it, the report comes up with a popup with a drilldown arrow. When I click on the arrow it is not showing any values.
    Also, clicking on "OK" or "Cancel" in the popup doesn't do anything.
    Can anyone please help?
    thanks in advance,
    James

  • Spotlight not indexing after hard drive replaced

    Hi all
    Just wondering if anyone knows how to encourage Spotlight to re-index? Just had my hard drive replaced as part of the recall, and now Spotlight wont index anything.
    I've tried previous suggestions (adding and removing hard drive to privacy list, commands through terminal etc), but it's still not working.  All the software is up to date (10.7.5).
    Any ideas?  It's incredibly annoying, and making working on this computer virtually impossible at the moment.
    Cheers

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "mdworker" (without the quotes) in the Filter text field. Post the most recent 50 or so messages that appear in the Console window — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.
    Step 2
    Do the same with the search string "mds".

    Also, running mdimport -r "/System/Library/Spotlight/iPhoto.mdimporter" in Terminal does not return any results (or any errors).
    I have checked my library for any comments/descriptions with any line breaks in them and can not find any. I have deleted and rebuilt the spotlight indexes. I have added Pictures to the privacy section of spotlight then put it back. I have insured that iPhoto.mdimporter is the version off the the Leopard installation disc. I have checked that iPhoto.ipspot contains the correct path to AlbumData.xml.
    Any help or ideas on how to troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

  • SPOTLIGHT NOT INDEXING 10.7.5 ! TIME MACHINE SLOW !

    Help,
    Spotlight is not indexing after 10.7.5. update, please fisx this, it is unacceptable.
    Reinstalled fresh, same result !
    The problem persists on 2 MB and 1 iMac !
    Cmon, Guys ! :-(

    Same thing here on 3 iMacs: late 2009, mid 2010 and mid 2012. Each one froze while backing up. Started to back up shortly after upgrading to 10.7.5 then froze. I removed drive and tried with another computer --- same thing happened. After the first computer failed, I went on and repeated the process with other 2 all with the same results. Called AppleCare to let them know about problem. They said the engineers were aware of the problem. When I asked if the tech had any personal experience, he said yes with his computer. I asked how he fixed his and he said he didn't yet. So I too encourage anyone with the problem to take the time to call Apple so they understand the magnitude of this problem. I spent a total of 5 or 6 hours messing with this and finally unplugged the backup drive and will resort to drag and drop my documents folder a couple of times a week on my portable drive until they figure it out.

  • IPhoto/Spotlight not indexing SOLUTION

    For those iPhoto 6 users whoose comments and keywords not being indexed by Spotlight, here is the solution to your problem!
    If you are getting * Parsing file: '~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/AlbumData.xml'
    ERROR: syntax error (<key>PhotoCount</key>) when you try to manually index your iPhoto library with mdimport, this will solve your problem!
    You can only have single-line comments on your photos:
    - Create a smart album: "Comments... contains... [option][return]"
    Note: press option+return with your keyboard... the box will appear blank
    - The smart album should become populated with photos where you entered a comment containing a character return
    - Click the ( i ) in the bottom left-hand corner to draw up the info for each file, and manually remove the character break until your smart alum is empty OR go to Photos -> Batch Change and enter a new comment. Make sure that "append" is UNCHECKED -- This will overwrite all of the comments.
    Now, you must also make sure you only have single-line comments on your rolls:
    - From the iPhoto Library, go to View -> Sort Photos -> By Film Roll
    - Hold the Apple (command) key, and click the drop down triangle once or twice (until all are collapsed)
    - Manually examine each roll and make sure that the comments (if any) are all on one line.
    Note: If the comments are all on one line, the whole line will be visible in the collapsed view under the Film Roll name
    Quit iPhoto
    Open Terminal (in the Utilities folder)
    - Type mdimport -f ~/Pictures and hit return
    - After some time, a message should come up saying:
    * Parsing file: '~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/AlbumData.xml'
    As long as there is not an error message underneath, this is good!
    - When the command has finished running and you're at a blank prompt again, quit Terminal
    Open iPhoto
    - Click iPhoto in the menu bar, and go to Preferences
    - Click the Keywords tab
    - Click the "+" and create a new keyword called Spotlight
    - Close out of iPhoto preferences
    - From the iPhoto Library, select all of the photos (Edit -> Select All)
    - Get info on the files (Photos -> Get Info)
    - Select the Keywords tab
    - CHECK the box that says [Spotlight] *THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE
    - UNCHECK the box that says [Spotlight] * THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE
    Note: This forces all of the pictures to be updated in the database
    - Quit iPhoto
    Search for your comments and keywords with Spotlight

    Can I ask, does this need to be done every time you add photos to iPhoto, or is this a one-off trick to get Spotlight to look at iPhoto keywords in the first place?
    My first experience with iPhoto is iPhoto6 so I don't have any baggage that I am bringing from earlier copies of iPhoto. I've imported in 1500 photos and am working my way through tagging them with keywords and am hoping that spotlight will index them. Is this bug related to keywords applied in older versions of iPhoto, or does the issue manifest itself even on a brand new library? Are Apple looking to patch iPhoto / Spotlight to resolve this?
    Thanks.
