Privacy List Error?

Hello Dannymac22,

What we'd recommend in a situation like this is to first rebuild the Spotlight index, which is outlined at Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support. This can help correct errors.

Let us know the results and we'll go from there!

1. "On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Users & Groups  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
2. Click the Add Account button below the list of users on the right (you may be asked to enter your password.)
3. Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.
4. Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
