MacUpdate Desktop

Boz1473 had trouble on 02 Aug 2011

Stopped working today on Lion. It seems to think I only have 1 application installed (bizarrely, Team Fortress 2). Deleting the MacUpdate folder in ~/Library/Application Support has made no difference.

[Version 5.0.11]

Can find the applications using Spotlight. This is now happening on two different machines.

Done that, no joy I'm afraid

Aha, after several unsuccessful Spotlight index rebuilds I spotted the problems:
1) I had cloned my drive prior to installing Lion, so Spotlight was picking up the applications in the Snow Leopard applications directory clone
2) Somehow ~/Applications had gone into the privacy preferences of Spotlight

Deleted the clone, fixed the Spotlight preferences and rebuilt the Spotlight index using sudo mdutil -E / and all is well
