When you click Apply in the Workstation Properties tool, the system asks whether you want to
restart the services. However, it does not restart the services automatically on a Mac. You must
restart the Media Indexer service manually.
After you exit the application, the system displays a message about the Logging Subsystem.
You can ignore the message.
Restarting the Media Indexer Service on a Mac OS X System
This section describes how to restart the Media Indexer service. Note that every time you restart
the Avid editing application in Media Composer v7.0 on a Windows system, the system
automatically restarts the Media Indexer service. On a Mac OS X system you must manually
restart the service.
To restart the Media Indexer process from a Terminal window:
1. Open a terminal window and navigate to the Media Indexer/bin directory as follows:
cd /Applications/Avid/Media\ Indexer/bin
2. Type the following commands in the bin directory:
sudo ./mi.sh remove
sudo ./mi.sh install
where:
- sudo instructs the system to run the command as “super user” or root.
- the characters ./ instruct the system to “run the following command that resides in the
current directory”.

You must have an Administrator login to perform commands that begin with “sudo.”
