I am trying to get a torch to A) illuminate and object and B) show the beam of light.. I have figure holding a maglite, I have placed a spotlight at the front ot the torch to illuminate a rack.
But the beam does not show coming from the torch and it does nott light up the rack its pointed at.Any Ideas? See attached.

You probably have the default HDRI.. You can turn it off by in Render settings > Environment setting it to Scene only.
And regarding the spotlight, it might be too weak to be seen.
You won't see the beam unless you add dsoemthing to scatter the light - a suitable VDB (though that will probably be a bit much) or a volume (e.g. a cube primitive) with a low opacity dispersive material applied.
