Hello everyone
I have just installed Tiger on a G3 iMac and done a combo update to
10.4.6. The computer starts OK but gets to a point when loading the
Finder where Spotlight icon appears in top right corner of screen
but nothing else happens. The cursor is the arrow but when moved
over the Spotlight icon it becomes the spinning beach ball. I
thought it was Spotlight indexing the drive but its been going for
2 hours!
Any thoughts or suggestions please on how I can get passed the
Spotlight loading?
Hi Edward,
After installing OSX10.4 (before doing the 10.4.6 update combo), on
restart did you let Spotlight Journal the HD?
It does take awhile, and If you had any external firewire or USB hard
drives mounted Spotlight would index them as well.
Cheers,
