Hi everyone,
I recently got a Seagate 2tb for my macbook pro 2011 and decided to set it as the backup for Time Machine. This changed the hdd icon to the green Time machine icon and i was unable to access it. I changed my mind, canceled the backup, and removed the hdd from Time machine. After this, my finder hasn't been indexing the hdd.
I tried system pref > spotlight > add/remove,
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/"drive",
sudo mdutil -i on /
but these only help momentarily then I cant search anything on the hdd until I do it again. It also doesnt show any re-index time.
Is time machine causing this?
