    Finder search does not find results!

    Recently my search results do not return when I used the search in Finder. I have already checked my spotlight preferences and everything is selected. It is also doing the same thing in my outlook (will not return search results). This is so frustrating.

    Weird Finder issue with Exif

    So, using Get Info in Finder doesn't show any Exif data under the More Info arrow, when using a certain external drive. For images on the mac's hdd, it works. And now it gets weirder: it also works for another external drive, same size, same file system (exFat). Any ideas what's going on?
