Can't see random files on osx partition from Windows

Has anyone noticed that not all files on the osx partition can be viewed by Windows? I.e. in \users\shared I have a directory with about 50 files, some of them don't show up when viewed from Windows on random basis, but if you boot up into OSX they are all there.
This used to work fine with the origonal version of snow leopard. It only started happening after I updated the OS.

Hi edwelch,
maybe it has its reason in 'reserved character and words' used in the filename of the files you miss.
Some characters/words are allowed in OSX but are not-allowed (reserved) in Windows and vice versa.
Have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename

  • HT5628 How do I read OSX partition from Windows?

    I am thinking of installing Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro using Boot Camp to create a dual boot system.
    If I do this, how can I access my current Mac OSX partition from within Windows? Does boot camp mount the Mac OSX partition automatically?
    If not, how can I share data between my Windows partition and Mac OSX partition?
    (Apologies if this is an elementary question, but I couldn't see an obvious answer anywhere.)
    Thanks.

    You can't access the Mac because it isn't running when you dual boot. You can purchase third-party software such as MediaFour's DriveOne to access the OS X partition. From OS X you will need a utility such as NTFS for Mac 10.0.2 or Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.6 to write to the Windows partition.

  • SMB-problem: can see/manage files, but cannot open from Windows 8.1

    I have some files shares on a  Mavericks server (clean install, including OSX Server). I can connect and see the shared files from my Windows clients (both 7 and 8.1). I can even create files, rename them, etc. From Windows 7 i can also open and edit them. So far, so good!
    From Windows 8.1 however, opening does not work: simple text-files and pdf's don't open at all (server cannot execute instruction/file already open), office documents can only be opened in read-only mode.
    In the System log (on OSX Server) are a lot of lines like: smbd[714]: File system does not support 0x0 time attributes (or does not support 0x400000, file attrs).
    Using Windows Power Shell, I figured out that there is a SMB2.1 connection between Windows and OS X, which seems
    to be correct. It appears that OS X judges that Windows is using one or more wrong parameters in an SMB-system call.
    I had lots of SMB-problems using Mountain Lion (Snow Leopard server was fine). I don't want to force my Windows machine to use SMB1 (for all shares) using the commands found in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547 (I didn't try yet).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    So I have the exact same issues. I actually called Microsoft Support and they tried a bunch of different things. They even tried disabling SMB 2 and 3 on my Windows 8.1, but then I was unable to connect to my OS X 10.9.1 Server share point at all anymore!
    Here is what I found out. When I start up from my 10.6.8 Server backup on my Macmini Server, and then mapped the network drive on letter G on Windows 8.1 Pro client machine to that very same share point -  worked like a charm. I can read , write and such all fines on that share. All is well. Leaving the Windows 8.1 client alone, on the macmini server I selected the upgraded 10.9.1 Server volume and restarted the Macmini Server. After restart, guess what, I was able to perfectly access the files from Windows 8.1 on the OS X share point which of course was still mapped as drive G on 8.1 from earlier.
    Now here comes the kicker. I went ahead and restarted Windows 8.1 and then everything went haywire! I opened the Windows 8.1 desktop and brought up My Computer. I saw that the mapped drive G is no longer connected (red X). I went ahead and double clicked it and then Windows Explorer simply hug itself and wouldn't come back. I had to force quit explorer and ended up ultimately restarting Windows. After restart I went ahead and disconnected the mapped network drive (G), and then re-mapped it. I authenticated with the very same username and password as before. This time I am able to see all the files once again, but can't open or work with any of them. It is super jinxed. In my opinion there is a severe bug in Apples SMB 2 or smbx or whatever they call it. Why couldn't thy just leave it alone and pay a licensing fee and use Samba? It's just so stupid!!!!
    Apple, you must fix this problem. I will tell the server tech that I have been working with the very same thing. They should have never release 10.9. It was premature and not ready for prime time. It's good to know that there is a work around however. It is super teadious, and spastic, but hey, at least I get it to work. Either it has something to do with authentication, or the way OS X 10.9 responds when mapping a network drive on windows 8.1 pro? No clue.
    Apple does not pay me to Q&A their software. This stuff should simply work! I am ****** off and have wasted now over 3 weeks of my precious time banging my head against the wall with Apple stuff.
    Come one guys, get your stuff straightened out.  thanks.

  • Viewing OSX partition from Windows

    G'day all
    Ok this may be a fairly obvious question but is Windows able (via any means) to view the data stored on my mac partition? When I load windows, I've got both partitions available however when I load windows I can't see the mac side of things. I presume this is due to the native HDD format that OSX uses but still, I want to be able to access files saved in OSX from Windows. Sure I can load OSX and transfer the files to the windows partition but that involves logging out, logging in, loggin out, logging in.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,

    The file system you refer to is hfs. Sadly you will need an app in the windows side to be able to use it.
    This app http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ worked for me, i don't know how it will go in a bootcamp partition, but it should work fine.

  • Can't print & can't see USB flash drives plugged in from Windows partition

    My uncle has installed Windows XP professional through Bootcamp on his new MacBook w/ Snow Leopard. He gets to it through Parallels. Everything works perfectly, except he can't print to the same printer that the Mac prints to, and also, when in Windows, the os won't recognize USB flash drives that are plugged into the MacBook either. He has the latest Windows printer drivers installed for the printer he is trying to print to and still won't work. He needs both of these up and running immediately. I convinced him to get a Mac. Apple fam...HELP!!!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be ebtter to ask such questions in the Parallels support forum.

    Hi Antônio G,
    Based on your description, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss:
    Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    To make this issue clearly, would you mind letting us know more information about this issue? Which language are you using? Which kind of app are you developing?

  • Mac can't see NTFS files

    I have a 160Gb external UDB drive (Toshiba Gigastore) that I've repartitioned from being 100% NTFS into a 50Gb primary Fat32 partition and a 100Gb primary NTFS partition.
    I was hoping to use the Fat32 partition to back my MacBook up and the NTFS partition to share (read-only) files from my Windows PC.
    When the drive was 100% NTFS, my MacBook could see all the files, but now I've repartitioned it, the MacBook can't see any files on the NTFS partition. Disk Info knows there's some files there as the free/used spaces are correct, but I can't see anything.

    Funny that the ls list on the Gigastore showed two '..' entries rather than '.' and '..'.
    I wonder if it's because I've partitioned this disk into two? It was working fine as one large NTFS partition. Maybe I'll try making the NTFS partition first then a second FAT32 partition.

  • HT1461 For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

    For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

    Why don't you  (generic most every post lacks critical details) be clear and say you never used Mac OS etc.
    But, I did try to anticipate and give you what you needed.
    Excel is one of those rare programs that, if they are extremely large complex spreadsheets still tend to run better under Office for Windows.
    A VM won't do for that but it does make it easier to transition. As in: install Windows natively, then use VMware Fusion or Parallels to attach to the partition and OS. That way you can run Windows as Guest OS VM under Mac; and still run Windows natively dual-boot when needed.
    The word "see" was not what you wanted, was it? really? you want to open and make changes and keep it on Windows side rather than Save As or copy to Mac
    You use Windows and don't know it has NTFS (NT FileSystem)?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_File_System (HFS) native file system used by Apple
    And there is much more UEFI style "bios" and other things I suppose.
    Great thing about Google and encyclopedias or dictionary, you can look up what you don't know.

    Hi pkregel,
    Do these files open as intended in Dreamweaver CS6? I am not a CF expert but I am guessing that if you are able to open the files, then you should be able to see them in both the views. Can you post a screenshot as well?
