    Hey guys,

    For some reaosn when I open up my Music forlder for the first time after a boot up or whatever it takes a while to show up. I have to wait for it to load and this never happened before, well not on Lion.

    It takes about 30 senconds or more to load up before showing up whats in the folder.

    Anyone having this issue? How did you solve it?

    Bottom right hand coner of the folder is the loading logo. This never happened before and I haven't added any new songs. Never happened on Lion.

    I just did a Disk Ultility verify permission scan and I had a few things that were wrong. I did the repair, but my Music folder still loading up.

    Specs: (I don't know from the top of my head, but should be right.)
    2.4Ghz
    8GB of RAM
    500GB HDD space

    I didn't do a clean install, I just upgraded straight from my Lion.

    I have over 3000 and under 6000 songs in the Music folder. Yes this is the only folder that this happens in. I don't think it matters how many songs or in my case I don't think I have that much. Again, this never happened on Lion and I have about the same amount of songs from the time I upgraded.

    Thanks!

    it sounds like an indexing issue with your hard drive to me. Head to the spotlight pane under settings and add then remove your music folder to the privacy list making sure it saves your settings in between. I might be completely wrong but it seems like it would be the simplest way to get your drives to reindex

    Hey thanks for the reply and yes reindex my entire HDD with Spotlight. That didn't work.

    EDIT: I think quitting Finder solved the problem. Now everything loads up the way it should. :)
