HOWTO: Re-Index the Spotlight Index on a Mac

Posted on by

The file search tool Spotlight on Macs is a fast flexible way to find files, except when it isn’t.  Occasionally Spotlight does not find files I know are on my Mac and the index needs to be repaired.  

To force Spotlight to delete an old index and create a new one:

  1. Click the Privacy tab.
  2. Drag the folder or disk that you want to index again to the list of locations that Spotlight is prevented from searching. Or click the Add (+) button and select the folder or disk to add.
  3. Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click Spotlight.
  4. To add an item to the Privacy tab, you must have ownership permissions for that item. To learn about permissions, choose Help from the Finder menu bar, then search for “permissions.”
  5. From the same list of locations, select the folder or disk that you just added. Then click the Remove (–) button to remove it from the list.
  6. Quit System Preferences. Spotlight will reindex the contents of the folder or disk.  This can take a long time.

How to Free Up Space Used By Time Machine’s Local Backups on Your Mac

Posted on by
Time Machine doesn’t just back up to external drives. Enable Time Machine on your MacBook and it will create “local snapshots,” too — potentially taking up over 100 GB of disk space on its internal storage.
These local snapshots appear as “Backups” when you look at the visual overview of storage in the About Your Mac window.CHRIS HOFFMAN has written a good article about  how you can free up that space and get more room on your Mac.

“Wild Prairie Rose” connected with a one-two punch at the Cambria Film Festival, walking away with both the jury and audience awards for Best Feature over the weekend.

Director Deborah LaVine accepted the awards Sunday night at the Hearst Castle Theater, as the festival wrapped up its four-day run. “Wild Prairie Rose,” set in the rural United States during the 1950s, focuses on the character of Rose Miller, who “falls in love with a deaf man and must decide if she has the courage to follow her heart, according to the IMDB website.  READ MORE

On a high note: Cambria Film Festival wraps up at Hearst Castle

Film Festival, visit cambriafilmfestival.com.

Just as the sun started to dip over the hills of San Simeon, we made our way up the winding Highway 1 on Feb. 11. Nary a zebra was in view tonight as we make the turn for Hearst Castle.

With Valentine’s Day just days away, one would be hard-pressed to find a more romantic spot on the Central Coast than the castle, and the founders of the first ever Cambria Film Festival agreed, which is why the closing champagne gala and awards ceremony is being held at the movie theater on-site at the state park. In politically divisive times such as these, festival organizers decided their event would center on something we could all agree on: love. Every film screened over the weekend touched on matters of the heart in one way or another.  READ MORE
