rpb Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I have problems with Apple's OS X Applications. In Finder, they only appear in their German name, but Alfred gets confused with the original English names. So if I type "not" to start the app "Notizen", only "Notizzettel" ("Stickies") appears. I tried to reload the application cache, but now no apps at all are shown.

If no applications are showing, it's likely that OS X is unable to feed the information to Alfred. You can rebuild your Mac's metadata by going to Alfred's advanced preferences and clicking "Rebuild OS X Metadata". This can take up to an hour to complete. Once completed, type "reload" into Alfred and let me know what results you're seeing.
rpb Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks, it didn't work first, but I found the problem: Somehow all my Volumes had been listed in Spotlight's Privacy (Don't index) tab - it wasn't me, I swear. No wonder that Alfred couldn't find anything. Now it's fine, and also the localization issue is gone.
