Spotlight Unresponsive?
Hey all,
It appears to me that Spotlight has been disabled. When I use my Spotlight hotkey (the default), the blue magnifying glass doesn't pop up with a search box, neither does Command + Alt + Space, which should be the bigger Spotlight window. I've checked to make sure both of these hotkeys are assigned in System Perferences, and they are.
I also get nothing when I click on the magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner, as if it weren't even there.
Search through Finder, however, pulls up a search in the same manner it did when Spotlight worked.
I've recently restarted and run Maintenance 3.4 and nothing has changed with this problem. Anyone have any idea what could have happened?
Thanks,
Mike
PowerBook G4
Well, upgrading to OS 10.4.6 may have solved your problem, but it created mine. In my case, I had been running Panther OS 10.3.9, and I did an Archive and Install update. While everything else seems to be working fine, and while Spotlight functions via the Find menu, the blue icon is not responsive in the menu bar. So, something else must be going on; other people have experienced this same thing.

I have an iPhone 5 that must be just over a year old now. I don't remember exactly when this problem started, but I think it was right after updating to IOS 7. The problem is that with certain searches, such as "chrome" or "calender", the spotlight search will basically do nothing. It is somewhat random. Sometimes it will work imidiatly as I am typing it like it usually did. But other times, I will write out the whole word, press search, and still nothing will come up.
As I was just testing it now, I came up with an interesting discovery. I tested every letter of the alphabet and while 24 of them immidiatly worked fine like usual, it was actually only searches that started with "n" or "c" that did not work. Perhaps the reason I noticed this so much is because some of the apps I use all the time are Chrome, Calender, Notes, Contacts, Calculator, Clock, Camera (wow- just realized how many apps started with "c"!).
While in spotlight, if I type in C or N and then delete it and try to type another letter that would work normally, it does not work. So if I type in N and then delete it and type in A, A will not come up with results like it would if I just started with A. But if I close and reopend spotlight search and then type in A, it works fine.
When spotlight search is unresponsive if I wait for about a min sometimes results will actually come up, other times it will sort of crash (it will just randomly close before any results came up).
I could go on and on with the little details concerning this problem but I do not know what info would/would not be useful to you guys. I have tried restoring my phone from a backup and nothing changed. I am updated to the most recent version. My phone has never been jailbroken and otherwise is in perfect shape.
Thanks for reading,
MattI've seen this happen before, and generally turning off Documents and Data in Settings > iCloud will fix it.
If that doesn't work, try the following.
1. Restart the phone and check it out.
2. Reset the phone (hold the home button and the lock button until you see an Apple Logo and then let them go).
3. Go into Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings and test it out again
4. If none of the above work, try creating either an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup and restore the device as new using iTunes. Here's an article to help with that: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4137 -
Spotlight estimates 400 hours remaining. iMac completely unresponsive.
So, I've been having all types of problems with my iMac and finally had to resort to a SuperDuper! restore. I cloned the iMac drive from the backup, rebooted, ran permissions, etc. So, I can understand that Spotlight would need to index my drive again. I started fine, saying 30m, then 45m, then 2h, then settled back to a reasonable 45m. Until it got about 2/3 of the way through. Then it was 2h, 3h, 5h, ... 24h, 25h, 48h, 72h, 81h, 93h, 99h and counting (445 hours now).
The biggest problem has been that the iMac is almost completely unresponsive during this time. Can someone point me in the direction of a log or something?

1. Go to: *System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy* and click the + box > select *External HD* from the list of Devices > click the Choose button.
2. Do the same and add the *Internal HD* to the Privacy list, at least temporarily until you get all the disk activity to settle down.
3. Then after your confident that the restore to the Internal HD is working properly and everything checks out. Then enable the Spotlight Search feature for the Internal HD by removing it from the list and let it complete before allowing it to Search the External HD
Note: normally I only allow Spotlight to Search my Internal HD and do not allow any searching of any my External HD's.

MacBook Pro 10.10 extremely slow/unresponsive
Problem description:
MacBook Pro is very slow ever since 10.10 was installed. When waking from sleep it takes a while for the background to appear and then only half of the wallpaper will appear. Also, when using Safari, it becomes extremely unresponsive with the spinning beachball appearing every 5 minutes.

Enire system unresponsive at regular intervals
This problem is similar to others I've found, but none of those suggestions/answers have solved my problem.
While I'm using my computer--which usually 6 or more hours each day--every 10 or 15 minutes everything stops. Quite literally stops, as though the system has crashed. The mouse still moves the cursor, but clicking on any open window simply puts the associated application into a "not responding" state in the Activity Monitor, and the little beach ball just spins and spins. It changes to a pointer if it goes over a window from an application that is not yet identified as "not responding", but click and that changes as well.
The system stays in this state for 30 - 90 seconds, and then, as though by magic, or perhaps an act of God, everything proceeds as though nothing had happened.
Things seem to get worse over the course of that 30 - 90 second absence and even the Activity Monitor stops. The trace at the bottom simply stops, and none of the activity values in the table change, and the AM is unresponsive to any mouse click.
Some observations:
1. The system does not respond to the keyboard when having such a seizure.
2. The time of day clock in the top menu bar stops ticking and does not advance.
3. CPU usage is NOT anywhere near 100% in the AM, or at least it is not reported as such. In fact, it seems to be no different than it was when the seizure started.
4. Nor is the network busy or the disk hyperactive. All critical indicators seem normal. System memory (2 gig) may be full, but no swapping is being done during a seizure.
5. When the seizure ends, I have seen a burst of network activity and at the same time a burst of CPU activity by a task called "spindump". Occasionally there has been more than one such burst at the resumption of activity. I cannot say that this happens every time.
6. I have repaired permissions using the Disk Utility.
7. I removed my real-time virus scanning software (which I run to prevent accidentally sending a virus to a PC based client)
8. I stopped using Safari after reading something that suggested these types of problems might be associated with Safari.
9. I have 135 Gbytes free on my 500 Gbyte Macintosh HD drive. I also have an external 750 Gbyte LaCie USB 2 drive that I use strictly for backup. The external drive may or may not be active when a seizure occurs.
10. I have 2 Gbytes of RAM which was preinstalled when I bought my system.
11. I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but as I said, during a seizure, the mouse at least seems to communicate just fine, and the keyboard input is obviously received, since the system got my login correctly while seeming to be unconscious. See the next paragraph.
12. I do have about 1,500,000 files on my system, but as I mentioned there is no exceptional disk activity associated with this issue.
Now, for the kicker. Yesterday, in another of my frustrating attempts to get this behavior to stop, I was rebooting my computer, and IT SUFFERED A SEIZURE WHILE ON THE LOGIN SCREEN, with no users logged in. I clicked in the user name field and the ol' beachball started spinning away and continued to do so for 45 seconds (which seemed much longer under the circumstances), then accepted all of the characters of my login which I had typed while waiting and logged me in just fine.
Anyone who can provide any help or useful insight will be highly regarded by me forever. I use my computer to earn a living and <great irony, while I was typing this message, my computer stopped right here for over a minute> stopping several times an hour to watch nothing happen, is getting on my nerves.Since I needed to be out all morning, last night I left my machine running with Sleep turned off and all applications except for the Console shut off. I turned off Time Machine, because I had noticed that the seizures were occurring about 4 minutes after Time Machine finished its hourly backup.
The Time Machine connection turned out to be only a coincidence. From midnight until noon, the seizure problem re-occurred every hour on the hour, and with no activity on the computer at all, it lasted longer, at least five minutes in each case. It's easy to tell how long they last because the console messages conveniently appear every ten seconds.
Time Machine just happened to be running backups at 8 minutes before the hour which made it look as though they were connected.
Other than the hourly recurrence, I have seen the problem only when I open a mailbox in Mail. (Dang, it's 2 PM so I just got to sit here for 4 minutes,)
Tomorrow, I will take printouts of the logs over to the Apple store and talk to a genius as suggested. I'll report what I learn.
In the meantime, my theory is that this is related to the Spotlight indexing activity done, I believe, by the system routine "mds". I installed the 750 gig backup drive just two weeks ago, and now back up all of my non-OS files (~250 gig) instead of just the most critical 30 gig I was putting on a smaller external drive. I have seen other comments here and elsewhere on the Internet suggesting that the indexing can periodically gobble up your processor, especially when there are large piles of new files to play with. But that's just my theory. I'll report facts when I have them. -
My late 2009 model iMac is running slow, become unresponsive for 10-20 seconds, giving me the spinning color pin wheel. I posted my EtreCheck below. It shows that ProPresenter is clogging about 62% of my CPU, but even when I am not running ProPresenter, maybe typing a document on Pages or typing a link on Safari, it will freeze up and hang for 10-20 seconds and give me the color pin wheel. This is becoming real annoying. I also use it for video editing using Final Cut 7, and its obnoxious every few minutes it lags.
Thanks for the help!

Finder unresponsive and doesn't show files
Hey Guys,
I've been having this issue for a while now and it is bugging me.
I have Macbook Pro with retina display, after the latest update to OS X Mavericks, my finder started to go unresponsive..it wouldn't show the files in, sometimes have like a gray highlight on the folder name but wouldn't open or show what is in. No matter how many times I relaunch it I still have the issue until I restart my mac..but then soon it will go unresponsive..Any one has the same issue becuase I have never had it since I got my Mac in 2012? any suggestion?
ThanksCheck your Spotlight menu (looks like a magnifying glass in the upper right corner) and see if it says it is indexing.
If it is not, check Time Machine in Apple menu -> System Preferences to see if there is an active backup going on.
Do you have any third party system utilities installed? -
Home Button goes unresponsive when iPad locks, accompanied with Safari crashes
As the title says, I've taken notice that my iPad is slowly deteriorating performance wise. Safari has been increasing crashes over the past week, to the point where I think something is up if it DOESN'T crash within the last 10-30mins. The browser will freeze, and boot me out to the Home Screen.
I am now at the point where, once my iPad goes black after not fiddling with it for awhile, the Home Button will not bring me to the Lock Screen unless I double click it for the mini-music controls to appear. These things seem to have started appearing only after I updated to the latest iOS 5.0.1 update.
My iPad has suffered no outside trauma, the battery rarely gets to less than 5% life, and I've disabled unneeded and unused features, such as many of the Spotlight Searches. I do however, keep roughly 6-8 tabs open in Safari regularly, as I like to hop tabs as my attention span demands lol (that in itself may be the reason for the browser crashes..).
Does anyone else seem to have any similar issues, or know that it might be a firmware/hardware problem that is documented somewhere? I have seen other threads about unresponsive iPads/iPhones but nothing that matches my problem specifically.I'm hoping I wont have to get to that point. But thats what its looking like its coming to. I haven't come across anyone else with the issue.

My itunes doesn't open from the dock... when I get it open by spotlight it froze when I was trying to burn a CD.
Hi stork38,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It sounds like the application is having an issue burning the CD.
I would suggest you Force Quit iTunes, eject the disc and then open iTunes again.
Then try burning again with a different CD.

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Leopard 10.5.6 partially unresponsive.
Dear All:
Leopard has developed some problems these past 2 days. One of the things I first noticed was the fact that I couldn't drag and drop files between two locations (as in copying files). I tried draging and dropping files from my desktop to another disk and the icons are unresponsive - they don't move and are not copied. The same thing happened when I tried dragging the dropping e-mails in Entourage to move them from one folder to another folder in Entourage. The e-mails can be moved if I select the "move to" option and choose the destination.
Spotlight has also dissappeared and I no longer have its icon on my menu bar. Also when I try to search the help files it keeps searching but never returns any results. I am guessing that the help command invokes Spotlight and since its not working the help results never appear (???).
I don't know what caused these changes. Has a similar problem been reported by other Leopard users ? I realize that my Seagate 1.5 TB Barracuda drive may be the cause but I wanted to eliminate other possibilities before making any drastic changes to my system. How could the problems with these drives affect only certain aspects of the OS and its graphical interface ? Could something else have been the cause ?
What do you think the problem is and what do you recommend ?
Best regards,
Joseph ChamberlainHi Joseph,
Try the 10.5.6 combo update: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10-5-6_ComboUpdate
About the 10.5.6 update
*"One of the things I first noticed was the fact that I couldn't drag and drop files between two locations (as in copying files). I tried draging and dropping files from my desktop to another disk and the icons are unresponsive"* Possibly the drive or the logic board... try the combo update. Make sure and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER you install the update.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Finder behaving strangely, temporarily unresponsive when opening Apps folder, External Drive.
Hi I'm running 10.7.2 on a 27-inch iMac 11,1 (Late 2009). Everything has been working great up until a few weeks ago. I can't remember if it was after an update or what.
I have an external 1.5 TB hard drive, and whenever try to access the drive's root (lowest-level) directory, Finder freezes up for 1-2 minutes, I can't do anything, it just stays unresponsive. If I keep a window open of that same directory and open the directory by opening a new finder window and going to the external drive, it works just fine, but this isn't an ideal work around, since it keeps me from opening the drive via the icon on my Desktop (since that would just point focus to the already-open window, and if I navigate away from the base directory, the problem happens all over again once I try to re-access the drive).
At first this was the only problem, then I noticed that the exact same unresponsive Finder would result if I tried to open the Applications folder, and then again it turns out the Documents folder does the same thing when whatever program I'm using tries to open a 'Save As..' sheet that points to the Documents folder by default, for example. This behavior renders some pieces of software super impractical to use.
Finally, lately, whenever I try to open a directory in Finder that is a sub-directory of my home directory, the directory will use the same 'View Options' as my home directory (background color, etc.). If I navigate away from the folder and back, it's styles appear as normal -- this only occurs when I open a new finder window directly to another directory that is a sub-directory of my home.
Then, I ceased having problems with the Documents and Applications directories (can't remember when), but still have problems with my external.
Phew. I'm not completely sure that the last issue is related to the main problem, but it seems likely.
Any ideas as to what's going on here?
Thanks,
Sam
Edit: This has been going on for a few weeks now, restarting the computer, restarting Finder, fixing disk permissions have all been tried.I am pretty sure I used Apple's Migration Manager to move my account which easily could have pulled over some legacy CS folders in my user's Library.
After some more searching I did find a .plist file for the Adobe Application Manager by having Spotlight look for /Mars. The .plist did include the these (incorrect) paths: /Volumes/Mars. After I corrected that I was able to install InDesign in the right location and it works now.
Strange thing is that Adobe Application Manager still created the invisible folder /Volumes/Mars and put the Adobe Extension Manager in it.
Since I have a book to finish and ID is working now I won't rock the boat but I have no doubt it will hang again and a re-install is in my future. So I downloaded the cleaner-tool and will use it next time.
Thanks

Safari works extremely slow or become unresponsive
Hello,
My safari seems to be really slow, at times, unresponsive where i cant force quit and have to do a hard shut down on the keyboard. I thought it was my wifi connection but i have another laptop in the house that connects and surfs the web fine. Everytime i would open it, it would freeze up and the beach all would spin. Other application works fine but i dont have Firefox or chrome. I have a 2010 15" inch MacBook Pro. I tried doing a couple of solutions i found online such as clearing my cache in utilities, i even got the chance to open safari and clear history once, i also repaired disk permissions. Still, nothing worked for me. This problem began to start when i purchased a external hard drive to place all my iTunes music in it. It attempt to back up when i first installed it but i stopped it. Im not sure if that has to do with anything. I know a bit about computers but im no IT expert. Can someone please help find a solution? Much appreciated.From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If there's no improvement, continue.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
Slow Yosemite, partially solved; nagging spotlight issues
Since I have upgraded to Yosemite, I felt like I was using Windows 95: Services regularly in an unresponsive state, spinning ball all the time with the computer freezing for 5 seconds at a time, Mission Control not showing up, etc.
From this forums, someone suggested that I may have incompatible software, so I looked more closely and started to disable various kernel extensions, etc.
Things got better when I got rid of
- Pace drivers and updated them
- CleanMyMac 2
Then I still had some services stuck, especially CoreAudio; another thread suggested that it may be the program 'Hear'.
- Hear... gone...
The mac worked better; Mission control started working again after I deleted most of my profile data.
But there were still some issues and the computer was just slow.. I had a lot of error in the console with spotlight trying to index files owned by a user that doesn't exist; I removed those files and it was like having a new computer.
But still a slow new computer...
I looked more closely at spotlight's activity and I found that it is indexing a lot of things I really don't want it to index. I am using Logic Pro a lot and the last thing I want is the hard drive to be busy during recording.
I disabled Spotlight to see and, yes! the computer became faster. So I added a lot of folders in the privacy section, in Spotlight settings, but I am finding that it totally ignores some of them.
I do NOT want it to index /Library and /Users/me/Library; I added those, but they are still getting indexed.
I am thinking about prBump. Any ideas?
-
1) In Finder, pressing Command-F bring up Spotlight. Is there any way to make Spotlight search only file/folder names by default? (Not searching file contents).
2) Is there any way to prevent Spotlight to start searching before I finished typing? (I assume "no" since the tips in this discussion suggests typing in another app and paste in Spotlight)
3) I was trying to use Spotlight to find file/folders whose names contains diacritical marks, such as "ä" (without quotes). Spotlight presented thousands of files containing "a" (without quotes). I don't want "a", I want "ä". How do I do that?When you press Command-F to bring up a Find window it should be showing what some programmer thought would make a good default, which has the Search field at the top (DO NOT FALL FOR THIS, leave it blank unless you actually want to search file contents), then a set of criteria. I no longer remember what they were, but they weren't Name: Contains, which is what everyone wants most of the time.
Furthermore, the default of Groups View rather than List results in very slow responsiveness. It behaves much better if the default is List view--I haven't been bothered at all by the "starts searching immediately and drives me nuts because it is so slow and unresponsive" business since I made my Find window open in List view.
Now you can change the Find window each time you bring it up, or create a Smart Folder with your preferred settings and leave it in the Dock (and remember to say don't save when you fill in different search terms). Or you can customize the default behavior.
It's easy if you have Developer Tools installed and can use the Property List Editor. The default behavior is given by this file:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/default_smart.plist
My personal version is here:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/default_smart.plist.zip
Be sure to save a copy of the original (you can rename it and leave it in place). You can do a search here in the Spotlight Forum on default_smart.plist if you need more detailed directions for making the switch. There is also a discussion of this at MacOSXHints:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050501162147222
As for the "ä" problem: actually surrounding the term that contains the umlaut with quotes might improve your search results. The quotes tell Spotlight to look for that exact string as file or folder name, if you use the menubar Spotlight.
