Allan Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Solved the problem. This problem does not happen only in Hacks, but in any Mac that has the Mavericks installed. The Mavericks have bug with exFAT partitions, we can try to solve two methods: 1 - Exclude Items Using Spotlight’s Preferences Instead of turning the whole thing off, you can simply exclude certain drives or folders from Spotlight by using its Preferences. Head to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy. 2 - Disable Spotlight: Disable: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist If you find that this step was a unecessary, enter the following command to restore Spotlight’s functionality. sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist Note that after reenabling Spotlight, it will need to reindex your drive(s), a process that may take a while depending on the size of the drives and the number of changes that occurred since you disabled Spotlight. You can measure the progress of the rebuild by clicking on the Spotlight icon in the menu bar. That's it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanthraX Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Do not keep Spotlight disabled. Even you do not need it for searching files. Launchpad is related to Spotlight and the App Store too. If you have spotlight disabled you never can update the apps from App Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 what other method can I use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 You said it yourself, disable Spotlight indexing on that drive. Or this, found it with a quick google search: Add a file called ".metadata_never_index" to the root of all your ExFAT partitioned volumes. It prevents Spotlight from processing that volume on any Mac you plug it into without having to setup settings on every Mac. You can't create files starting with dot in the Finder so do it via the terminal. 1. Open the terminal and go to the root of the ExFAT partition.2. type the line below exactly and pressing enter.touch .metadata_never_index 3. Check it was created by typing in:ls -la I have an entire 1TB drive in exFAT format, I've never seen this issue myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I returned ... I can't understand how to enter as root. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14281 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Can't you just use sudo from the Terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 now unable to enable root user. I did so: System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > Network Account Server : Join > Open Directory Utlility > Search Policy and go to Edit menu: In Terminal, use this: su root. Now the doubt is, how to create touch. metadata_never_index within the partitions. how to enter the partitions in as root? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Got it!!! unable to create the file, as I do not enter the root partition, I copied the file metadata_never_index for problematic partitions. look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 That's great, but just FYI I think you misunderstood the instructions: "Add a file called ".metadata_never_index" to the root of all your ExFAT partitioned volumes" "root" does not have anything to do with sudo or the "root user". Root in this case means the directory root of the drive, also known as "/". You know, root as in the root of a tree, in this case a "directory tree". So for example if the name of your exFAT volume is "passaralho" you would open terminal and enter cd /Volumes/passaralho ....which would put you at the root of that drive.

Allan Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Now I understood friend! thank you so much. look what I did. in Terminal: su root now i enter as root: sh-3.2# cd /Volumes/Mac sh-3.2# touch .metadata_never_index sh-3.2# ls -la After that appears: Obrigado GV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
