  1. Another update: I think I'll chalk this up to an idiosyncrasy of my system for now. The laptop does not exhibit the same problem, but more importantly; after I did a reboot, my system would not start up at all. I'm running from a backup on an external drive until Mavericks is released. Then I'll do a fresh install as always. I'm sure the problem won't return. Sorry for the false alarm and thank you for your help and patience! :-)

And this install isn't even a year old. I'll pay attention to what Alfred is doing on my laptop, that is an even newer install.
  3. At the moment Alfred cannot find "Activity Monitor", however if I press space first and start typing "ac", Alfred shows "Activity Monitor" as the second entry. So the search string looks like: 'ac and Alfred shows "Activity Monitor" as the second entry. It will not show "Activity Monitor" at all if I just type "act" into Alfred.
  4. Thanks, but I'm not going to create a new account at the moment. I'll do that when I upgrade to Mavericks later this year. I do have my laptop running Alfred 2.0.7, I'll let you know if Alfred exhibits the same problem there (on a different user account). As soon as I had dragged the offending app into your tool, Alfred was able to find it, interestingly enough. I'll keep your tool around to see if it helps with other apps Alfred can't find. In the meantime, here's the output of your app with the previously offending app: /Applications/Kiwi.app Internal File Metadata ====================== Display Name: Kiwi Alt Names: Kiwi.app File Type: com.apple.application-bundle Comments: Keywords: Last Used: 2013-08-29 07:12:54 +0000 Raw mdls File Metadata ====================== kMDItemAlternateNames = ( "Kiwi.app" ) kMDItemAppStoreCategory = "Social Networking" kMDItemAppStoreCategoryType = "public.app-category.social-networking" kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier = "com.yourhead.kiwi" kMDItemContentCreationDate = 2013-06-29 10:29:44 +0000 kMDItemContentModificationDate = 2013-06-29 10:29:44 +0000 kMDItemContentType = "com.apple.application-bundle" kMDItemContentTypeTree = ( "com.apple.application-bundle", "com.apple.application", "public.executable", "com.apple.localizable-name-bundle", "com.apple.bundle", "public.directory", "public.item", "com.apple.package" ) kMDItemDateAdded = 2013-07-01 08:36:11 +0000 kMDItemDisplayName = "Kiwi" kMDItemExecutableArchitectures = ( "x86_64" ) kMDItemFSContentChangeDate = 2013-06-29 10:29:44 +0000 kMDItemFSCreationDate = 2013-06-29 10:29:44 +0000 kMDItemFSCreatorCode = "" kMDItemFSFinderFlags = 0 kMDItemFSHasCustomIcon = 0 kMDItemFSInvisible = 0 kMDItemFSIsExtensionHidden = 0 kMDItemFSIsStationery = 0 kMDItemFSLabel = 0 kMDItemFSName = "Kiwi.app" kMDItemFSNodeCount = 1 kMDItemFSOwnerGroupID = 20 kMDItemFSOwnerUserID = 501 kMDItemFSSize = 20880988 kMDItemFSTypeCode = "" kMDItemKind = "Application" kMDItemLanguages = ( en ) kMDItemLastUsedDate = 2013-08-29 07:12:54 +0000 kMDItemLogicalSize = 20880988 kMDItemPhysicalSize = 23207936 kMDItemUseCount = 1 kMDItemUsedDates = ( "2013-08-28 22:00:00 +0000" ) kMDItemVersion = "3.1.0"
  5. Update for today: Alfred can't find certain Applications. After I rebuilt the Spotlight caches (by removing the spotlight folder from my drive as instructed) and repaired permissions, Alfred could find some of the files it couldn't find before, but now can't find others.
  6. Did both those things, I'll see if it makes a difference and let you know.
  7. And the bug is back. Version 2.0.7 seems to lose access to apps again. Can I revert to 2.0.6?
  8. Oops, I totally forgot about this thread because 2.0.4 (or the one right after) fixed the issue completely for me! Sorry for not getting back sooner! And thanks for fixing this!
  9. Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, I've rebuilt the OS X metadata regularly to try to solve this issue. This was also part of the five(?) steps on the support page. It hasn't helped so far. I'd like to add that Alfred v1 was a fresh install, that I hadn't installed on this computer yet. I'm hopeful for the 2.0.4 release that @Andrew is talking about. Let's wait and see if that helps!
  10. First of all, this is a weird one and I've only seen this with Alfred 2. Here's what happens: Over time, Alfred 2 can't find certain entries (apps) anymore. If I run Alfred 1 beside it, Alfred 1 *can* find the entries I'm searching for. (Right now Alfred 2 can't find Terminal.app, Alfred 1 can, Spotlight can too). Here's where it gets weird: I can start an app with Alfred 2 in the morning, then several hours later, Alfred 2 can't find that app anymore. If I quit Alfred 2 and start it again, the app remains missing. Clearing the application cache doesn't work either. Rebuilding Spotlight sometimes helps. In the meantime Alfred 1 does not have this issue at all. Nor does Spotlight. I've thrown away the application support data a couple of times to start anew, but it hasn't helped. I love the workflow feature, but not being able to start Terminal.app, something I use a lot, is quite a pain. What you were doing when the issue happened: Searching for an app in Alfred 2 Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action Yes, I haven't found a pattern yet, but entries/apps keep disappearing. Include any screenshots that might help us Not really applicable? Include the Alfred version & build number you are using Alfred 2.0.3 b187, but I've had this issue since the Alfred 2 release. Include your OS X version 10.8.3, but I've had this issue on 10.8.x. Thanks!
