Apple have lost the plot, we have 4 imacs in the studio, 2 are fine(old os) the 2 new ones have the new all singing all dancing new operating system, which it turns out....

Is unable to search a networked share or drive.............. WFT is all that about, makes them totally useless.

just spend £1200 on a new nas and cannot search the pigging thing.


Rant over, its the end of 2 hrs of my life i will not get back.... off to find a 3rd party app

AFAIK, it's been acknowledged as a bug; mdworker process (Spotlight) is taking too long.
"After further investigation it has been determined that this is a known issue, which is currently being investigated by engineering.  This issue has been filed in our bug database under the original Bug ID# 10990537."

Try EasyFind as a workaround.

Thats why you dont buy apple - its not the first and it will never be the last. Mike

Years in IT and Microsoft were no worse...just idiots not understanding and screwing it up.

MSE bit of a generalisation , as someone who has been working in IT for years i would suggest IMHO that Apple
is for those who want a relatively hassle free environment

whereas with Mickey Soft one would expect that i) the users have some level of compos mentos in terms of IT/Computer related knowledge ii) or a mate who does, or iii) a large IT support team and finally a level of patience for when you have
to rebuild/image every so often ah do you remember Vista..  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

MY20 Defender 110 SE P400 Eiger/Ebony
MY10 3.0 RRS TDv6 Fuji/Ebony/Anigre

MAC has never been trouble free, its just not let you do anythign therefore you cant get into any problems

People moaned about vista - it wasnt perfect, but wasnt that bad either - there is no denying 7 was/is better but vista was a little like the millennium dome, doomed before it started.

Windows 8 on the other had - the beta I ran is not good, im not a fan at all. Mike

+1 for Windows 8.

I gave up on Windows a few years ago, I was completely fed up with the amount of time I was spending sorting the damned things out and yet they were still slowing down after a year. I hear Windows 7 was significantly better and 8 very good.

Am happy with my Apple kit, like most there are things I don't understand why they are how they are but my overal experience is very very good.

The ability to cheaply stream video (HD quality) and music around the house to multiple sound systems and tvs from iPhones and iPads as well as from the iMac and MacBooks is great. Nice integration into B&O kit too. Graham
