I just bought a new iMac 24" computer. I noticed that the Numbers Recent file does not show spreadsheets recently opened. Upon further investigation, I see that the Recents file in Finder is also not working. How do I activate these files?
iMac 24″, macOS 13.4
I had this same issue after I migrated from a M1 MacBook Air to a M2 MacBook Air. I had to force Spotlight to re-index, and that seemed to do the trick (for now anyway).
Here are Apple's instructions on how to Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac.
Good luck!
Hello billfromsc,
You indicate using macOS Ventura 13.4. Try to upgrade to 13.6.
The upgrade did not solve the problem but thanks for the effort. Any other ideas?
No, sorry.
Thanks for taking the time to suggest as I am a functional illiterate with all things IT.
After a lot of head scratching, your suggestion was exactly what Apple support did to solve my problem.
