What has happened with Spotlight? Can't find files anymore. Why?

Apparently I have two iPhoto libraries. When I use Spotlight to find them, I get an iPad user guide as the first return. One library is in Pictures. If I search that Finder folder for iTunes Library, search finds nothing. If I search that folder for iPhoto it returns iPhoto Slideshows, a file that follows after the iPhoto library file. If I use Spotlight, it returns hundreds of unrelated files. Not useful.
If I double-click the library in Pictures, I get this message in iPhoto: Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library” to “iPhoto Library” and relaunch iPhoto?
I suspect if I do, I'll never find the library that is now open. How'd I get two libraries? I didn't do that.
My main question: Why doesn't Spotlight return the location of the file I'm looking for?
Seems to me I've been finding files very efficiently with Spotlight for years, but this new version is almost useless.

Yes, I've done that. I just did it again in response your suggestion. Had a fusion disk problem s few days ago; had to wipe it and restore so I'm working with a  clean system.   Should have been indexed... I dropped my whole hard disk in the privacy space; nothing happened. Then I dropped iMac Home; I could see it was indexing. But nothing changed...
Today the problem was searching for a library and I wondered if Spotlight is coded to not find such Apple created fundamentals.... But daily, no matter what I'm searching for, even if I find it, it is not as efficient as it used to be.
Maybe I'm just a grouchy old man, but it seems to me Spotlight was better before it was improved.

  • In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

    That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
    It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

  • I don't know what has happened but I can't open iPhoto. When I try to open it I receive a caution "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I solve this??!!

    I don't know what has happened but I now can't open iphoto. I get a caution when I try which says the iphoto library is locked! It was working perfectly fine this afternoon until I tried to upload some photos from my camera and my computer started to run very slow and wasn't recognising my camera. I tried to quit iphoto and then when I came back in to it, this was the message I received. As far as I am aware I didn't alter any settings or put on any locks. Please help!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • What has happened with Apple Support?

    I convinced my friend to purchase a refurb Macbook Pro last week. I explained "the same warrenty, I've purchase 3 refurbs with no problems, yada yada".
    His MBP shows up with a "5th leg" under the Superdrive! Dented from the inside out. We found this out when we tried to start installing some software via DVD and the DVD got jammed inside and wouldn't eject (and sounding like it was shredding said DVD). Finally after a small pair of tweezers and a quick hand, I was able to snag the end of the dvd and "help it out".
    I told my friend how sorry I was, and explained that we will ship it back and Apple will surely just ship another refurb to him.
    Currently, he has spoken with 6 different people, over an hour of phone time, and none have followed through with not even a return number! Plus, each and evey new "tech" that he speaks to wants his name, order number, address, credit card, and probably his favorite color!
    What has happened? I have been praising Apple for 25 years, and now I'm just embarrassed (for me and Apple).
    Had to vent, and was wondering if anyone else has had this experience lately?

    Your friend only needs a single 'yes' to resolve this. Tell him/her to hang in there! Insist on good service. It is definitely owed.
    I have found that dedicating the time to get it done, and then not accepting any answer except the ethically right one, will achieve the right result. I would bet the call center folks are trained to drag feet on giving return authorizations on refurbs. That is an institutional thing that is not particular to just Apple. The ignored problem often will just go away. On a call to support the need is to insist on going uphill to supervisor and then manager and not hang up until a equitable solution is arrived at. Polite, unfazed - insistant.
    We all hate it when an error like this makes Apple look small.

  • What has happened with Safari?

    Safari 6.0.4 on retina MacBook Pro, practically ALL images on the web are blurry now. I mean, even the Google doodle image for example or just about any image on any webpage. I'm kinda new to Safari (and Mac) but this was definitively not the case with previous version.
    This is not happening with Firefox or Chrome, but with the built-in browser? Any input on this?

    Hi Mike,
    Try navigating to..
    System Preferences > QuickTime > 'Advanced' Tab > 'MIME Settings'
    .. and uncheck 'Images/PDF image'. Restart Safari.

  • 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 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?

  • 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.

  • What has happened with Quality with an Acer Product?

    My son purchased an Acer Aspire E1 in the Spring of 2014, the Hard Drive failed within 8 months. No problem, the warranty took care of it. I now have had the Hard Drive replaced again within the 7 months of the factory replaced one. Acer's tech support lured me in to purchasing their Recovery Thumb Drive, saying it would solve the problem. To find out that when trying to boot up, a message displays L:/MAPP is missing. Took it to a Reputable Computer Repair Center, they replaced the Hard Drive. When you try to contact Acer about their product failing, then having it Factory replaced, only to fail again, you get some 3rd party,from a foreign land, who also wants money to talk to you. I want someone from ACER to refund some or all the cost of replacing their Hard Drive, which should of came with a warranty,since they replaced it, and the refund of the Recovery Thumb Drive, that wasn't needed to fix Acers problematic Hard Drive. My son uses the Acer's laptop for every day normal use. No gaming downloads, no 100,000 picture down loads, just to be used for collegic activities. I have a Dell Inspiron that has lasted me 4 years and counting. Well Acer, are you going to help a DAD out of possible Acer production quality failure?? 

    Use their Recovery thumbdrive they gave you and format it. Then save your son's data on it. Unplug the thumbdrive and carry the laptop out to the garbage and drop it in the can. Go out and buy a new laptop from a company that actually provides support.

  • 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!

  • What has happened to the borders and themes when printing in the new iPhoto?

    I was very sad to see that the themes and borders dissaperared in the new (Maverick) iPhoto... What has happened nd how can Iget them back?

    The borders and themes have been discontinued.
    If you want them back, send a feature request to Apple:

  • Spotlight can't find TextEdit, other apps found ok

    I have a very odd problem. Spotlight can't find TextEdit anymore, even if I type the name of the app fully in the field. The app is right where it should be in the Applications folder. It hasn't been excluded from search and I have done a reindex of Spotlight but the problem persists.
    Other apps come up exactly right.

    And just to be on the safe side, this thread did not solve my problem. Briefly, it's not about Spotlight getting mixed up because of external HDs.
