You will need to enter your password. Make sure you have admin rights on the machine. Good Luck, David Try typing the command exactly as so:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0

Don’t forget the sudo – it will execute the command with escalated privileges. You will need to enter your password. Make sure you have admin rights on the machine.

I'd say the safest way to disable spotlight is to go to System Preferences, select Spotlight and click the Privacy tab. Then, select and add Macintosh HD and your User Folder to the Privacy tab. Good Luck, David Hi Jeremy,

Check your permissions, make sure they are (for both):

1st – (Owner) – System, Read & Write
2nd (Group) – wheel, Read only
3rd (Everyone) – everyone, Read Only

Then restart your computer.

I’d say the safest way to disable spotlight is to go to System Preferences, select Spotlight and click the Privacy tab. Then, select and add Macintosh HD and your User Folder to the Privacy tab.

Good Luck,
David

I moved the files /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist ... in order to shutdown spotlight. It worked. However, moving these 2 files back to their original respective locations does not bring Spotlight functionality back, am I missing something?? HELP! I moved the files

/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

… in order to shutdown spotlight. It worked. However, moving these 2 files back to their original respective locations does not bring Spotlight functionality back, am I missing something??
