  1. Hi there, as I have found my answer.. is it possible to delete my account on here? did not find anything in my profile! thanks for your help!

  2. just to let anyone know who is interested.. I have rebooted after trying the above and typed in the commands sudo mdutil -i off / sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight* sudo mdutil -i on / after each other. Now spotlight works and is indexing! will turn it off before the next time machine back up though
  3. Hi there, I have exactly the same problem as ronnie.barker. ! I have only just udapted to Yosemite (10.10). Before, I had turned spotlight off for ages because it slowed my time machine backup down. Now I just wanted to test it and turn it on again, because the search in Mac Mail.app doesn't work - and I would need the search there now. I tried the command sudo mdutil -a -i off (and on) and it came up with: mdutil[1766:78805] Metadata.framework [Error]: mdsCopyStorePaths failed: (268435459) (ipc/send) invalid destination port Spotlight server is disabled. After that I tried the command Rodger also recommended (sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist) and Terminal did not seem to react, the Spotlight Search still does not work or show that it is indexing - how can you check that it actually does? After that I tried the command again and now it says: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist: Operation already in progress Does that mean it is indexing now? How do I know how long it will take? Thanks a lot for any help in advance!
