    "Watch random 'Big Bang theory' episode" - Siri command?

    I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV 4. Either a reason not to- or an argument to actually buy the ATV4 would be Siri. But I was really wondering if Siri is capable of letting you view a random episode of a specific show by command? I've got a few seasons of The Big Bang Theory on my local NAS and...

    Hi all, I'm on El Capitan and have been experiencing this problem: Spotlight suddenly stopped searching for files and folders, only apps, contacts and other information showed up.

    Spotlight Internet Results Lost After 10.11.5

    I updated to 10.11.5 the other day, and now Spotlight doesn't find internet results. I've scoured the Apple Discussions board to no avail. I've now disabled and enabled the checkboxes in Spotlight preferences, reindexed Spotlight, and reinstalled OSX. I'm in America and have everything set to...

    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...

    iPad Pro - Something I Noticed

    I was watching some videos about the iPad Pro today, and noticed that the Spotlight Search layout was slightly changed from iOS 9.1 (version the iPad Pro shipped with) to iOS 9.2 onwards. Yes, I know this is quite insignificant but I'm still curious to see which layout you guys prefer :) (I...

    Beware of Windows 10 "Spotlight"

    Thanks to the kind information of Shirasaki I learned of this new feature of Windows 10. It downloads from Bing well made professional photographies and offers them to be used as lock screen. :rolleyes: In my case I had installed in my old MacBook 4.1 early 2008, Windows 8.1, parallel to my OSX...

    Spotlight-induced performance problems

    This is a sort of 'to-whom-it-may-concern post, as I think I have identified the cause and solution to a problem that started with El Capitan on my machines (1). The symptoms are: UserEventAgent, cfprefsd, and mds_stores all use unusually high amounts of CPU time. There is a constant...
