Desktop Folders not displaying content?

One of my Designers has developed the following issue on his G5.
Folders on his desktop do NOT display all items contained in it? He may see nothing at all or only partial items?
However, if I take the Desktop over remotely (Chicken VNC) I see all items as normal.
Also, if folder contents are viewed through an Application "Browse" (Photoshop, Illustrator Etc) all items display as well.
I thought this may have been a RAM issue so I doubled what was in the MAC with no results
Obviously this is driving me batty and numerous searches on the forum her and elsewhere have generated no results. So I'm reaching out to the Apple masses
Specs:
G5 2 GHz DualCore
4.5GB RAM

So your designer at that workstation logs in using the same account as you?
If the designer is using a different account, that account would be the Owner his Desktop folder and any new files he creates. A GetInfo on a particular folder or file will show the owner and what group access is allowed.
For backup purposes, i set up my small networks so that each user is the owner of their own files, but the Admin group has read access (so I can see and copy the files to a Backup device).
Also, starting in 10.5, what appears to be the same account gets differentiated on each workstation, so Admin at one station will not be the same as Admin at another.

WebHelp not displaying content in left nav pane

Any suggestions for why WebHelp is not displaying contents in
the left navigation pane? When Help is called, it displays the
frame (including buttons such as glossary, search, contents, etc)
and the work area, but does not show the TOC in the left navigation
pane.
I have also tried generating FlashHelp, with the same
results. This time, only the work area displays. Any suggestions to
fix this?
This is a new project, where RoboHelp is being deployed for
the first time. Any suggestions for making this a simpler
transition would be much appreciated. I have used RoboHelp for many
years with a different company and do not recall ever running into
this many problems.
Help!

Sorry, I haven't used the CSH method which, by the way, was
designed to show only the topic at first, I think.
I give my developers a list of path/filenames for topics, and
they use this form:
.../helpdirectory/myproject.htm#targettopic.htm
There are some shortcomings to this method, which leaves the
window open and, when you call another topic, another new window
opens. In other words, you have to close the help window manually
to avoid windowmania.
A solution is a little js that checks to see if a window is
already open, closes it and opens a new one. (If no help window is
open, it's a harmless js error.) It's fast enough that you wouldn't
notice.
The downside here is losing the browser history. Forward and
back buttons work only so long as the help window stays open.
In my opinion, this is not a major concern, since many Web
based applications these days tell users not to use the back
button. Production users won't mind so much.
For ordinary people doing e-shopping and online banking, the
browser back button is anathema.
The bottom line is, if you have a decent set of navigating
options built into the design -- TOCs, left or right rail lists,
useful links at top and/or bottom of the topic page, the back
button can become superfluous.
Browe sequences work fine from any point in the lineup (I
know, it's not the same as browser history -- unless you give them
a really useful set of sequences).
The forever-loading left pane is gone in RH 7.
Hope this is useful.

Some Folders Not Showing Contents In Organizer

PSE8:
All my photos reside in one location in my system, with the main folder shown as the "Watch Folder". However there are sub-folders containing JPEG photos where the contents are not being displayed in Organizer. The icons of each of these ignored folders, in the navigation panel on the left, appear as brown folders without the little white background that folders that do display contents have.
I've tried right clicking in these folders and selected "Add unmanaged files to catalog" and get a message saying "0 files imported because the folder contains unsupported file types or the files are already in the catalogue"
As I said, these are folders containing JPEGS, no different from other folders that do display their contents.
How do I resolve this problem?

This was my mistake and due to my inexperience with the program, I drew an incorrect conclusion.
The one folder in question, when I checked it in Windows Explorer actually contained only a txt file. The other folders were the lead folders in the tree, containing sub folders that are correctly displayed.
Thank you for your help, and your answer actually taught me about a setting with which I was unfamiliar.

Reader icons for PDF saved on Desktop are not displayed

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed on my computer. Whereas Adobe Reader typical icons are correctly displayed in every PDF documents saved on my hard disk, they are not displayed on those saved on Desktop. A blank icon is displayed instead. I have tried to repair Adobe Reader from Control Panel and to uninstall it and remove its leftovers on the registry by using an uninstaller program but the problem still persists. If I create a New Folder on the Desktop and cut and paste the PDF documents saved on Desktop on such folder, they are displayed but if I then move them back to the Desktop the blank icons are again displayed. Any idea what can be the cause and how to fix the problem?
Many thanks,
Ennio

Hello,
There are so many posts in this forum concerning this question. Just make a search with the "ICON" keyword, then you will get hundreds of answers.
You can also look at the OTN forms page

Websites not displaying content

Hello all,
I've been having issues with browsing on Internet.
With all my browsers, Chrome, Safari and Firefox, I've got web content that is not displaying and working correctly.
I think this is due to a Privacy Scan I did a few days ago with the software Privacy Scan. It might have deleted something that helps the computer deal with content on web sites.
I have a Time Machine back up before I run the Privacy Scan but I don't know what I would need to restore etc. Maybe there is an easier way to install what has been deleted.
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Wepage not displaying content

I am using a math homework website, Webassign.net, and certain features that were displaying normally a few days ago are suddenly not displaying now, and a link to the textbook is not displaying the content either. My plug-ins are all updated, I checked Safari>Preferences>Security and these websites are allowed. And there no software updates I need. Macbook Pro Retina Display, version 10.8.5, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7

Try to empty the cash of Safari, it could help. Safari - Preferences - Confidential (sorry if wrong spelling, I'm using OS X with another language) and there is an option to delete all sites cookie files. Don't choose it, click the button just below that (maybe "Details" or "More details") and it will open a list of sites that have cookie files on your mac. Find your site and delete it from there.
This could be an error that occurred when your site was downloading to your computer and something gone wrong (connection, something else) and it downloaded a crashed page into Safari's memory.

BBC One Highlights page not displaying content of its panes

Why does the BBC One Highlights page not display the content of its panes?

There seems to be something up with their javascript that produces slightly different image url's than on other browsers.
Instead of something like this:
http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/336x189/legacy/episode/b03ggg2z.jpg
it's producing say
http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/336x0/legacy/episode/b03ggg2z.jpg
which doesn't exist.

CC desktop app not displaying my installed apps?

My Creative Cloud desktop app is not displaying my list of installed applications?
It is telling me that I have not installed any apps? This is a major concern as i will be missing out on updates to the apps I have installed as part of my CC membership subscription.
Any ideas? I have tried logging out/in, changed my password, but nothing seems to solve it?

Where are the Adobe reps here?
My CC app is still not working!
I am paying for this service, the least you could expect would be assistance with issues such as this?

Desktop will not display Calendar or Contacts

I got a new Centro, installed the Palm software as instructed and performed a HotSync when instructed. Initially the Desktop showed all my contacts and calendar but would not let me edit my contacts only add new ones. After shutting down the computer and restarting it the Desktop no longer displays icons for the calendar or contacts. I performed another HotSync which was successful but still could not access the calendar or contacts via the Desktop.
I unisntalled the Palm software and drivers and reinstalled everything from scratch with the same result. I uninstalled everthing again and downloaded everything from the Palm web site and reinstalled everything again with the same results.
My Centro still has all my contacts and calendar info. Any idea how I can resolve this problem to manage them from the Desktop?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Have Palm engineers solved this? My version of the story: Vista Home Premium: Palm Access 6.2.2 Desktop running happily. Then after a hibernation, I open Palm Desktop and get only Media. No amount of uninstall/Reinstall changes this result. Even using Revco uninstall. So, how can I regainDesktop and sync to it?

Plain text emails do not display content when Usin...

While testing the Nokia E71 as a possible phone to enable those of our workers who sometimes go on the road to access their emails using, an IMAP4 connection, I noted plain text emails just displayed the sender and subject line. The text of the message itself is not displayed. HTML emails all seemed to work perfectly it was just the plain text ones which did not work.
I checked the emails in our test IMAP4 account using a standard email client and they displayed in full correctly.
Has anyone else seen this and if so is there a way to fix it?

Hi Peter
Actually, Captivate does have an essentially unlimited number
of undo levels. But that number may appear to be different. The
number of levels starts when you begin editing the project. If you
close and re-open a project, that starts the undo process over.
I've tested and I gave up after about 280 or so undos.
Where Captivate doesn't allow an undo, it normally warns you
with a rather catastrophic looking dialog.
Cheers... Rick

DMP 4400G not displaying content on Cisco LCD 110L PRO 47

All,
I have a DMP 4400G connected to a Cisco LCD via HDMI. The DMP is controlled through a DMM (5.2.3). The IP info displays on the screen when I tell it to, but I am having trouble displaying content.
I have tried the following:
Pointing the DMP to URL on the DMP.
Pushing a presentation from the DMM to the DMP.
Pushing a "go to url" from the DMP.
The DMM says that the task was submitted, but nothing displays on the DMP.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the input Joe. The I was able to play the file straight from the DMP, as well as another mpeg2 file that I loaded on there. I didn't get any audio from the file though...
My other issues seem to be specifically with the browser. If I try to play a URL (media plane or browser plane) FROM the DMP, or try to play a playlist from the DMM, I get a "browser_play_failure" error in the syslog output.

Mail not displaying content of messages

When I open a message a spinning wheel and a text message saying "loading" is displayed. The message disappears but the body of the message is never displayed.
This is only with messages in my inbox that were downloaded today. Messages downloaded yesterday or messages filtered into mailboxes other than the inbox display as usual.
Messages that do not display in Mail on my MacBook Air open fine on my iPhone or Pad.

Tried that. Didn't work. After getting your response I tried the solution to my other problem with Mail--not downloading mail: I deleted the account then recreated it. The messages previously unreadable are now readable. Plus, all the message that didn't get downloaded today were downloaded.
When is Apple gonna get Mail straight? The problems are well known. Have been from the Yosemite upgrade.

Some folders are not displaying contents in Library mode

Any suggestions to troubleshoot and fix this? Am new to LightRoom and up to date with version 5.2. Some details: I have 130,000 images in approx 2500 folders and subfolders on a 2 TB USB 3 external drive. Imported my catalog from Elements 11 and reorganized keywords into a simple hierarchy. Now I am systematically going through the folders in Library mode to tag individuals and events. After the first 2000 folders, selecting any of the next 1500 folders gives no response. In some cases, if I persist, LR will freeze and stop working. Running Win 7 with 16 GB memory. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
*You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can do a font test to see if you can identify font(s) that aren't working properly.

Messages not displaying content of old conversations

Earlier today the Messages app hung and I had to force quit it. Now, none of my old conversations are displaying. I have searched around and followed Lincs and Ralph Johns' suggestions in this thread, but nothing has fixed the problem.
To recap my attempts:
1. Trying in a new user account replicated the problem
2. Trying in Safe Mode replicated the problem.
3. All the database files under ~/Library/Messages show Read/Write permissions for my user account.
4. I have also repaired permissions from Disk Utility.
5. I even tried to follow the steps in this thread, but either I didn't understand what I was supposed to do or it it's pertinent to this issue since it didn't yield the same results in the steps 2, 6 and 9.
I would really appreciate your help with this issue.

Hi,
Messages can store different "messages" dependent somewhat on the type there are in two places.
Saved Chats (See Preferences > General section an Save on Close)
These are in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive.
This will save All type of Messages whether they are iMessages or other types (AIM, Jabber, Yahoo or Bonjour).
If they are iMessages they are stored Automatically in three .db items in ~/Library/Messages.
Both methods will add older chats to the top of the Chat window when you scroll up/back in time of the chat.
For me it has not done very well at retaining links to old chats prior to the Change to Yosemite (for me it start from this time).
So...
Moving to a different Account is not likely to help in this case as you have no History there either in the Chat.db items or the Archive folder.
Same with Safe Mode. However if you do it on your regular Mac User account and it does not help it points to some possibles.
Re 3.
I take it you stopped here as you expected them to be iMessages ?
AS well as your account showing and having Read and Write permissions did you use the little cogwheel icon and see if your Owned the file ?
Also did you display the Path Bar (Finder > View Menu > Show Path Bar) and check the Messages Folder's ownership and Read and Write permission ?
Right Click the icon for the Folder and then select Get Info.
Re 4.
Repairing permissions does not touch anything in your Home Folder (Little House icon).
This is why you have to check manually.
Re 5
Running /Applications/Messages.app/Contents/MacOS/Messages -errorLogLevel 7 in Terminal Starts up the App and creates a log whilst doing so.
It pauses once all of the Accounts are logged in at a point with some ComNAT info (open ports and the like).
It does repeat itself regarding BDW (Bandwidth) and the Mic and Camera that are in use and whether it can Audio Chat 1-9 people of Video 1-3 and so on. At the very top it lists the picture size it will be using in Video chats.
Michael Singletary found if you ran the log method of opening the app you could see if the record count was wrong.
You may have an incomplete saved item in the /Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive depending if the app was trying to save an Chat as it hung.
If you did not get:-
Confirm that an error similar to this appears: 2013-10-27 15:59:16.465 Messages[666:507] Chat history path /Users/username/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/Archiv e Status: 3 totalExpected: 162740 countProcessed: 29344, forcing an import.
Or something very similar then you don't have that issue.
If you have not had that many new iMessages or other type of Messages since the issue I would use Time Machine to replace the Chat.db items to something only slightly earlier and the same for the Archive folder.
Navigate to one of the folders to start from (like the Archive folder for instance)
Use the Time Machine icon in the DOCK.
It will change to the galaxy background the current window for the folder with what looks like stacked windows behind it.
Move back in time until it is indicated that the item is different.
Highlight the file/folder and then use the Restore Button.
Repeat for the other items in /Library/Messages.

Proper Fix for Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets not Displaying Correctly

This is not a question, this is an answer to a common problem with an easy solution.
DO NOT delete the registry subkey "Zones" the proper method to restore your gadgets is much simpler.
Here is the proper fix:
Right-Click Taskbar > Task Manager
Right-Click sidebar.exe > End Process
Start > Run (Windows Key + R)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\
Delete the Settings.ini file in this folder.
(If you do not have extensions showing it will just read "Settings" in the [Name] column with "Configuration settings" in the [Type] column)
Right-Click Desktop > Gadgets
Place your gadgets on your desktop.

Hi,
Thanks for your sharing.
You may refer to the following KB to check the issue:
Windows 7 gadgets may not work or be displayed correctly
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2515657
Thanks again.
There is some great information, however it doesn't include the fix I mentioned. That's the whole reason I mentioned it. Referring to the KB does nothing, instead of providing autonomous replies try reading the title and content.
