[X4U] Tiger Mail and Spotlight and iCal

Thanks for the input Stroller.

I have found solutions to both issues - I think. - I got some ideas  
from the Apple Discussions forum.

The Mail failure was caused by the two Bundles in the Bundles folder  
(~/Library/Mail/Bundles) Remove the two - in my case Spam Sieve and  
Growl -  and problem disappears. They both appear problematic, as I  
have tried re-introducing them one at a time with the same result.

In relation to Spotlight, I have forced it to re-index as follows:  
add the HD to the Privacy section (as in 'do not search') of the  
Prefpane.  After a couple of minutes remove it from the exclude list  
and then it re-indexes. It's doing it again now, with approx 2 hours  
remaining. Yesterday it indexed the whole disk (apparently) in twenty  
minutes.

So far so good then, though I notice that uControl is not working and  
iCal won't launch. It bounces, shows a window but crashes before it  
can load any Calendars. So round here it's called iCant... I have  
removed the Calendar folder, still won't launch, repaired permissions  
etc. Ideas?


Thanks for everything

Regards

When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane, you always have  
enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash.
