I hope someone can help, I cant search my Mac nor Maxtor External drive via spotlight or in the finder? This happens in any account. Ive tried MainMenu but it says it cant find spotlight. Ive also tried adding the drives to the privacy tab in the spotlight system prefs, but nothing shows in the list. Any other ideas anyone? p.s. Should there be a app of spotlight in the utitlities folder or somewhere? I can find it anywhere? but then again, i cant search very well.....  Any help would be much appreciated...:biohazard Hydro |

Rebuilding Spotlight index Mon Nov 20 19:40:50 GMT 2006 /: Volume index removed. Index will be rebuilt automatically. Spotlight index has been deleted. In a few moments, the Spotlight menu item, located at the top right hand corner of your display, will automatically start indexing the contents of your computer.

If you have and nothing has changed, repair permissions and restart. __________________________________________________ Posting and YOU|Forum Community Guidelines|The Apple Product Cycle|Forum Courtesy mac: a waterproof raincoat made of rubberized fabric MAC: a data communication protocol sub-layer, also known as the Media Access Control Mac: a brand name which covers several lines of personal computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc.
