[QUOTE="redsox1968, post: 882887, member: 69826"] To the best of my knowledge I have not used any application that would shut down Spotlight indexing. ---------------------------------- I also tried a terminal line command to try and to index my laptop with the following line command, it failed, below is the syntax and message I got Last login: Wed Aug 5 05:53:31 on ttys000 my-name-computer:~ myname$ sudo mdutil -E / Password: /: No index. my-name-computer:~ myname$ ---------------------------------- I certainly don't know line command mac instructions, it was something I found in my research in trying to fix the problem. I'm guessing the "-E/" is referring to the drive is that correct? Maybe that could be the problem??? Any suggestions with either the line command or perhaps an alternative way to do indexing? Thanks [/QUOTE]
