[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1641518, member: 101749"] Sounds to me, that Spotlight needs a little tender reindexing. Try forcing Spotlight to reindex the drive. Go to [B]System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy[/B] and add your hard drive to the list. Than remove it. Spotlight should begin reindexing. Your Mac will slow down while this process is happening, especially if you have a lot on your HD, but be patient and let it do what it needs, and once done restart. If that doesn't help, drop back in, and we can move on from there. [/QUOTE]
