jabohn Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Has anyone had Spotlight repeatedly re-indexing like I have? I've had Leopard installed a little over a week and I can remember it rebuilding several times (I can hear the hard drive making noise, I click the Spotlight menu and the progress bar is there). It seems to be more frequent now... it happened both last night and this night between 9 and 11pm approx. This is not normal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Well, it may be normal if the location being indexed is constantly changing (downloads, etc). You can try disabling the indexing function on that location to see if it stops. hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabohn Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hmmm, I can't think of what is constantly changing. Only thing would be downloads but I already have it disabled there. Also, it seems more like a complete re-index, not just a folder or portion of my hard drive since it takes between between 30-60 minutes. I'll have to think about what other location might be causing it, or maybe it's just a glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabohn Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 It hasn't done it tonight yet - it's done it around 9pm-ish before. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerker Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 It happens when you have an abnormal shut down/restart. That happens to me, but lately, after a while of using it, it's stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
