problems with El Capitan: no application found

[andjevsky]

After installing the latest update for El Capitan, Alfred is no longer functional and is unable to find  any application. I have reindexed using the spotlight, and rebuilt the OS X metadata, which is now shaded gray.  Any suggestions?

 

Many thanks in advance, Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

When you clicked on "Rebuild OS X Metadata", did you enter your password and press the return key? When you did this, did you see any error messages?

 

Take a look at step 4 here for details of what you should expect to see when rebuilding the metadata index:

https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/

 

It should say "Indexing enabled" and "In a few moments, OS X will start rebuilding your metadata index", which confirms that the process has started.

 

Let me know how you get on.

 

Cheers,

Vero
