Spotlight confidentiality does not

I had a problem with my Time Machine drive seeming to be active when Time Machine is not running. I used the unix command lsof to determine that the SDM and mds_store access my drive. I discovered that I did not add drive to honor 'Intimacy' and he did. He has not made a difference. I rebooted, and mds and mds_store still go to my readers.

Is to turn off the projector possible to fix this?

Unfortunately, I have solved this problem. Here's a quote from an article in the Apple knowledge base:

If you add a Time Machine backup disk to the list of protection of personal information, you will continue to see messages that Spotlight indexes your backup disk. This indexing is necessary for Time Machine works correctly and cannot be disabled. Spotlight doesn't exclude research items you store on your backup disk that are not part of a Time Machine backup.

    Below is a screenshot of Photos with photo with the name IMG_1758.JPG.  On top of the image is my Finder window you are looking for this image under "This Mac" with no results.  Below the resulting from the spotlight that does not show the result.  I have only one library of photos under that user.  Also, if I am in another application such as Notes, Pages, Numbers, etc., I can't search and find images in the Photos.

    I have 15.0 FF. When I open FF I always get next message: Norton Confidential does not support FF 1.5, as if I had 1.5. How can I fix it. Have I not a secure site?

    This is probably because Firefox 15 is in beta, so norton has not yet added full support for it. I would except them to update their software in the next 3 weeks (15 Firefox gets released in about a week and a half).

  • Search spotlight El Capitan does not find applications

    Search Spotlight does not return any new application. I can see them if I open finder and browser for it, but they do not come to the top.

    I have already tired the procedure from other questions on the forum to open system preferences, will Spotlight, by selecting the Privacy tab, drag the applications folder in it, then removing it.

    Apple instructions say to click OK to confirm after dragging, but there is no button to click. Other instructions other posts in the forums users say, 'If prompted click OK', but I'm never invited.

    Spot is not re-indexing from the Applications folder. It would be great if he would.

    In the Spotlight preferences window, please select the search results tab. Is the box marked the applications checked?

  • Search does not work in the Finder, Spotlight, Email

    No search feature doesn't work on my Mac OSX Capistan mini running.

    Search for Finder returns zip.

    Spotlight returns zip.

    And research email app returns zip.

    I installed EasyFind and it works very well.

    I don't know what the problem is.

    It has been like this for a long time.

    Very annoying.

    Any help is appreciated greatly.

    Nothing I've found so far in this community of support has helped.

    The third-party software EasyFind can cause a conflict of research. Visit the Web site where you downloaded the EasyFind software and look for the instructions to uninstall.

    Regarding research on a Mac, use the native search Spotlight.

    If you still have problems, the Finder preferences can be damaged.

    Open the Finder. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

    Type or copy paste the following text:

    ~/Library/preferences/com. Apple.Finder.plist

    Click OK and then place the com.apple.finder.plist file in the Recycle Bin, and then try a Finder search.

    If this does not help, move this file in the same preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.Spotlight.plist

    Then try a search.

  • Preference system, security and confidentiality, accessibility - not working/empty

    Hello

    All of a sudden my system preference, safety and confidentiality, accessibility access list does not work, it is completely empty/Virgin and I can't use + / either. They do nothing. The + tries to add an app and I can select an app via the dialog box, but the window just shows blank after choosing an app. He never adds anything.

    I reboot several times and turned to cycling as nothing will do. I also zapped the PRAM, still nothing. I also used the Onyx to repair permissions and also checked the disk, everything going perfectly.

    The list never used to be empty, there are several apps listed in there, but they are all gone now. It is completely empty.

    I have problems because the apps that were once, now on the list will not work until I have added to the list, but I can't. I would like to buy yet another application that could control this list, but I don't know of any application that does.

    I hope someone has a solution or an idea of what to do because you have lived the same exact situation.

    I am running 10.11.5

    Thank you

  • projector does not not on Sierra

    After opdating to Sierra Spotlight does not work.

    On the first there is a little life, but now it is completely dead.

    As you see, if you go to System Preferences > Projectors > privacy (tab)? All items are listed in the exclusion list?

    Otherwise: try to add the macintosh hd to the list by pressing on the + sign at the bottom on the left and that it points to the macintosh hd.
    Then delete this new element by selecting it and pressing the sign - on the lower left. Close System Preferences again and it should re - initialize indexing.

  • macOS Sierra 10.12 and 10 Mail: smart mailbox does not

    Hi people,

    After macOS 10,12 intelligent ball of the mail 10.0 update Sierra is no longer in effect.

    Case: Create a smart mailbox, which displays all messages (Inbox, sent, archives, etc.).

    The smart mailbox selections below:

    In OS X 10.11 El Capitan: All messages have been selected correctly

    Under macOS 10.12 Sierra: only old messages before update date are selected.

    What has been experienced difficulty: smart to delete and recreate from scratch mailbox > does not.

    Thanks for helping out.

    Hi people,

    brief update: discovered that - after several days - spotlight indexing is still active. So strongly assume that this oddity Mail 10.0 is down to the indices not being ready to be read.

    I will update this post when indexing is complete.

  • Siri does not find the files on my external drives

    Hiya:

    Just updated to Sierra of MacOS and I try to use Siri to search for files on my computer and as the title suggests, Siri spitting not files on my external drives (both connected via USB 3 on the back of the iMac). I tried to turn on Siri/off, Spotlight is not all excluded files, I tried signing in/out of my iCloud account. I tried to create a new user account on my Mac (which will not find anything). Permissions on my external hard drive seem ok: read/write is enabled for me, all the world and admin; "ignore permissions" is turned on.

    I'm starting to think that this is a design limitation of the software. Someone else using Siri able to search for files on your external hard drives?

    As near as I can tell, unlike the Finder and Spotlight, search Siri does not check for external drives.

  • Finder does not remove the files?

    I deleted a lot of videos (files) because they were in my photos, then, even after having emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted the computer files appear again and are able to play when you type 'Movies' in the Spotlight (order space) search. When I click on the file need me to photo but it does not appear, so, how can I get the files to display.

    From the Photos app, click on "Albums" on top, then "recently deleted".

    If you want, double-click recently removed to enter the album, then 'Delete All' at the top right.

    Just as you shouldn't use Finder to remove music, etc., located in iTunes, you should also not use Finder to remove photos or videos that are found in the Photos (or iPhoto) application.
