    Spotlight/Finder/Document Searching Issues

    Okay, so I have a 2010 Macbook Pro, 13.3 inch with 10.6.8. It seems like every time I make a file in textedit or edit one, then try to find it later, I can't. Every few days the file will show back up. I guess this means it's indexing, but there's no indication of that on my laptop by the...

    Finder not sorting by date created

    Hi, For some reason, my finder window is not sorting my files by date created. It does sort them by date in terms of year, but that's all. for example in this one folder, all the files for 2014 are just in alphabetical order. Any ideas why this is? Thanks
