Two or three times recently I have downloaded, cancelled, and restarted the computer, which should have automatically triggered the indexer. I have then gone to bed, or gone out, expecting Logos to have finished indexing by the time I was back -- only to find it hasn't even started.
No indexer log from after the restart.
Now, this could be a Logos bug, but for once I suspect it is not, because I've had other things not starting when they should:
- I'm pretty sure iTunes is supposed to open when I attach my iPod. It hasn't done for a long time. iTunes Helper still shows up among the startup items in Preferences, but it never shows up in Activity Monitor anymore.
- It's a long time since I used it last, but I believe IPhoto is supposed to open when I attach the camera? If so, it doesn't either.
- Comparing my list of startup items with Activity Monitor, I find one more that doesn't show up: AppCleaner Helper. The rest all start as they should.
AppCleaner Helper, iTunes Helper, and Logos all have 'Unknown' next to the name, while the ones that start have 'Program'. I also have lots of lines in my Apple logs saying "com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.SystemStarter) Failed to count the number of files in "/System/Library/StartupItems": No such file or directory" (they've been there since long before Logos Indexer stopped starting when it should).
What can I possibly have done to make one startup item after another go unrecognized, and how do I get them recognized again?
