Finder not displaying all files in remote directory

Sorry, this is a repost as I have gotten no response from my original request here: Finder not displaying all files in remote directory
I've exported pictures from iPhoto on my iMac to a shared directory on my mac mini. When I access that directory from my iMac, I can see some but not all of the pictures. I know the pictures exported properly because I can see them all from the mac mini. I can open up a terminal window on my iMac and see all of the files; I can also open those files from the terminal.
I'm running OSX 10.9.4 on both computers, with the mac mini also running OSX Server. I've placed a screen grab below from my iMac of what Finder sees vs what I can see from the terminal.
Why isn't Finder displaying all of my files?

thanks for responding
Adding a new file to the shared folder results in me being able to see the new file from my clients regardless of where it was added from, however the "hidden" files do not suddenly pop up.
I tried a few more experiments that had interesting results, but still didn't lead me to an answer.
First I tried copying the files from the remote directory to a local directory; I did this in 2 different ways and had different results. Method A) I copied files from the mounted share to a local dir: "cp /Volumes/MyShare/dir/*.JPG .". Method B) I copied the files using secure copy: "scp user@server:/path/to/dir/*.JPG .".
Method A resulted in Finder not being able to see the files in the local directory, while Method B did. This was interesting and lead me to suspect an issue with the way I am sharing the directory on the server. From Server settings I have both afp and smb checked. I tried enabling only one or the other and reconnecting; but this did not fix the problem.
Next I tried exporting the photos from iPhoto again. Exporting them locally results in files that Finder can see. Exporting them to my server results the same bad behavior
Getting desperate, I also tried renaming all of the files from "*.JPG" to "*.jpg" but this didn't help.
One last experiment, I see the same behavior from both another Mac and a PC on my local network... FTP works fine.
Any more ideas?

  • Finder Not Showing All Files in Folder?

    I have had this happen to me in Tiger before but in the past week or so I have come across two instances where Finder is not displaying all the files in a folder. On the first occurrence, I was moving files over from a samba share and for some reason Finder was not reading a few music files. Thus, those files did not get moved over, and just now I was reviewing some bank statements and one of the PDF statements I saved yesterday did not appear until I did a "killall Finder" in Terminal. Has anyone else experienced this? This seems to be a serious flaw that could bring about data loss issues.
    Thanks,
    James

    Latest Mac OS X 10.5.1 build fixes Finder data loss issue
    By AppleInsider Staff
    Published: 04:00 PM EST
    Apple Inc. on Monday continued to pound away at its first maintenance and security update to the recently released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system, issuing a new test build to developers that fixes the much publicized Finder data loss issue.
    People familiar with the ongoing testing process for Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update say the new build, labeled Mac OS X 10.5.1 build 9B16, was accompanied by a note to developers that specifically mentions a Finder-related fix affecting files that are moved between directories.
    It was widely reported earlier this month that Leopard's Finder is affected by a glaring bug in its directory-moving code, which could lead to horrendous data loss if a destination volume disappears while a move operation is in progress.
    Those people familiar with pre-release builds of Mac OS X 10.5.1 also added that the software update will deliver an enhancement to Leopard that will allow Apple's Software Update and installer applications to make revisions to application files which may have been moved outside their designated "Applications" directory on Leopard volumes.
    As was the case with build 9B13, which was released for private testing last Monday, Apple is reportedly asking that its developers test the latest build broadly, paying particular attention to Time Machine, Mail, iCal, Back To My Mac, Bonjour, AirPort, gaming graphics, networking and the Finder.
    Mac OS X 10.5.1 is expected to be released as a free update within a few weeks' time.

  • DWMX Not Displaying All Files

    Hello folks. This is my last attempt to locate a solution for
    why my DWMX is not displaying all my files in my local or remote
    folder. I have a new client who has put us in charge of moving
    their site to a new server. When I create a new site in DWMX, it
    allows me to download and upload just fine, ALL of the site.
    Problem is, DWMX will only display a certain number of files in
    both the local and remote views. In my windows explorer, it shows
    all the files, on the new server it shows all the files, but DWMX
    will not. The folder in question is the dumping ground for all
    their self-managed content images for their site. So it is hard to
    split these up into multiple folders and expect the code to work
    properly.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a
    solution to this problem with DWMX?
    Thank you.

    Are you using DMX6.0 or DMX6.1? If the former, please update
    to the latter
    at your earliest opportunity - use the updater on the Adobe
    site, please.

  • All My Files not displaying all file types

    So, as above, in Finder using the default display by file type, the only results I see are for Spreadsheets, Developer and Documents.
    No seperate lists for PDFs, Images or any other file type.
    Looked in preferences but can't seem to see any place where this might be enabled.
    Glum...

    Here's another data point:  I found some PDFs under my Documents folder that weren't showing up in AMF.  I found that simply opening one up in Acrobat Reader would cause it to show up in AMF (I didn't have to change and re-save the PDF). 
    I did notice that if I selected multiple PDFs at once and opened them all at the same time, some of them would then appear in AMF, while others wouldn't.  But opening up a single PDF by itself would always add it to the files shown in AMF (as long as the PDF was somewhere under my User folder - if I first copied the PDF to a second hard drive that's not under my User folder and *then* opened it, it still wouldn't show up in AMF.)
    In short, here's what I've discovered so far:
    1)  AMF doesn't seem to index anything that's not somewhere under my User folder.
    2)  Not everything under my User folder shows up in AMF, but if I open a "missing" file that's under my User folder, it will then show up in AMF. (Except for pictures and songs - see #3)
    3)  AMF doesn't index anything that's in my iPhoto or iTunes libraries (even after opening a picture in iPhoto or playing a song in iTunes.)
    4)  AMF doesn't index attachments to Mail messages unless you download the attachment (presumably because it's then stored under your User folder.)
    5) AMF will only seem to (sometimes) index Excel spreadsheets if they're saved as .xlsx files.  Even opening, changing and saving a .xls file won't get it to show up in AMF afterward.  Spreadsheets are strange, in fact.  Even with some .xlsx files, they'll show up in AMF *while I have them open in Excel*, but as soon as I close them in Excel, they disappear from AMF again.  This is the only types of file I've seen disappear from AMF after they've shown up once - all the other file types seem to stay in AMF once you can get them to show up there.

  • Finder not displaying all Volumes/Devices

    Hello,
    The internal harddisk in my iMac is made of two volumes: OS & Data.
    Tonight I noticed that those 2 volumes are not displayed on Desktop. They don't appear in Finder Sidebar either. I checked Finder preferences: all checkboxes are 'active'. So all devices should be visible.
    When I connect my iPod or external USB Harddisk, they are visible in Finder and on Desktop.
    I repaired permission & rebooted without success. All available MacOS updates are installed. I also cleared caches with Onyx before rebooting the system.
    In Terminal, I do see the volumes under /Volumes and can 'browse' each volume directories without issue.
    Any idea why Volumes for the internal Disk are not being displayed ?
    Thank you.

    It sounds like you have been bit by the invisiblity bug. See my article here:
    http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html
    If you recently added comments in the GetInfo box on the partitions, that will cause the problem. The article offers several ways to change the visiblity bit. The last section deals with the Spotlight comments variant.

  • Smb share not displaying all files in finder

    When accessing a non-windows (IBM iseries) smb share, I will only see 30 objects. Windows PCs will see all of the available objects.
    Is there a solution for this problem?

    Hi,
    Me too, I am encountering the same problem, not with Windows XP but with a virtual Windows NT machine.
    I am connecting to an SMB share on a Unix server running under Sun Solaris (vers. 8) on which the Windows NT machine is emulated by running PC Netlink (version 2.0 Rev=rr24).
    Viewing share folders by clicking them via Finder, I see only a maximum of 30 entries (folders and/or files) in each sub folder, though many of them contain dozens or hundreds of objects.
    When I view those folders via the command line in the Terminal, I see even less: only 14 objects appear. For each sorting mode the same 14 objects are visible.
    When I copy a file from my local harddisk into such a folder, it disappears immediately after copying. When I copy the same file a second time into the same folder, a message pops up rejecting the copying because another file with that name already exists. Together with that message the "hidden" first copy now appears in the finder window, only to disappear again when the warning message is clicked away.
    I do see all objects when I mount the shares on a PC or on my old PB G3, running Classic MacOS 9.2.2. And I did see all objects before I migrated from MacOS X 10.3.9 to MacOS X 10.4.10.
    The names of the "hidden" objects are all OK (neither beginning nor ending with a dot, etc.).
    I am curious if somebody found a solution for the prob, or what workaround you are using.
    Thank you
    Fred

  • Photos app not displaying all files

    I recently advised an elderly lady to replace her XP laptop with a iPad Air (only!). I helped her transfer mail etcetera and also her collection of photos (simple .jpg's). All went well, I imported her pictures successfully and we were able to brose her life from 2008 to now in the standard Photos app.
    Since recently, the photos app experienced some crashes. And now we found out that the app display only photos from November 2012 and more recent.
    At first I was concerned that the files had disappeared, but they have not. The older files are still selectable in the Facebook app, including all the collections by date etc.. It would appear that the Photos app database is somehow corrupted.
    How would I help her out? My main concern is that she does not have a proper backup (yet). The storage space required for her files exceeded the iCloud maximum, so I could not set that up as backup (all other items are on iCloud though). Nor does she have an external computer. I am afraid that a reset will clear the iPad and thus delete all pictures.

    I have no idea if this will work, but it is my basic starting point suggestion. She will not lose any data if she does this and it may help the crashes if nothing else.
    Close all apps, and reset the iPad. This reset simply resets the iPad system. It is very much like rebooting your computer.
    In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Find not showing all files

    Why is this happening? 

    Sorry - I did finally find the App Support folder in my hidden Library folder, but for some reason since my address book crashed, it opens up blank now even though the address book file is there. 
    I even tried replacing with a backup I did a couple of days ago and it still comes up blank. 
    I am not iClouding, but I do use Bento, which does show the records.  It's just that recently changes I had made to the address book file (via Bento) must not really have updated the system address book file (which Bento uses) because when I synced by iPhone the new changes did not show there.
    In any case, my main problem is that Address Book shows no records even though I know they are there because the abcddb file is 9.8 MB (4000+) records.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Many thanks.

  • Finder not displaying latest files

    I have an issue with a couple of Yosemite clients whereby if a folder is updated with newer files, the Yosemite finders aren't automatically being updated.  I've found a post relating to the same problem with Dropbox, but in my situation the data is stored on a Lacie DAS attached to a mac mini
    https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201166919-New-files -don-t-show-up-in-Finder-MacOS-Yosemite-
    Not sure if anyone else has come across this problem or has any suggestions.

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Itunes 10.2.2 not importing all files within a directory

    Hello all, here is my very frustrating issue.
    I am running Itunes 10.2.2.14 on a x64bit Windows 7 machine and i am having an issue importing my full library from an external USB harddrive. Originally all the music on this external drive was at one point in time completely imported and functioning in iTunes. The short version of this long story is that I moved my main personal server from windows 7 to ubuntu, after installing VM player and attaching a external HD with my music iTunes will only import 7% of my music!! I have doubled checked permissions and this is not an issue. This is also not a format issue as the mass majority of my music is .mp3.
    I have cleared the music library several times, and even used another PC to import the folder and have found that iTunes appears to be importing the exact same 7% of my music library. The only article i have found that is even close to providing a explaination is page 4 on this discussion here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2566265?start=45&tstart=0
    Although this workaround appears to be for a Mac, is there any way to do this in Windows/Linux?
    I do not have this issue importing into Ubuntu Rythmbox. If this is really an issue of extended attributes where did they come from and why is iTunes rejecting the import with absolutely no message/errors?
    This is a major bug (to me) as i am currently unable to sync the mass majority of my music, much of which was purchased from Apple!?!?!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks.

    UPDATE--> Manually adding folders (drag from explorer and drop on music libray) appears to be functioning as a work around. I have been testing individual folders and so far so good.
    While this may be a workaround i have HUNDREDS of folders! =(

  • Finder does not show all files from NAS

    Hi there
    I have a NAS attached to my mini where music, ... is stored. I can access it from both the mac as well as a PC.
    for some reason the mac finder does not display all the files in the directory even though the files are there (i can see and open them when accessing the NAS through the PC). at the moment I only see this happen in a folder that contains video (mpg) files and some event must have triggered this strange behaviour because I could play the file sometime ago without problem.
    also, some of the files are shown as a folder than a file in the finder. E.g. a clip called last_holiday.mpg would show as a folder (when you open it it is empty) rather than a video file.
    I have tried to re-mount the share, but this has no effect.
    Is this a bug or is there some wrong setting?
    thanks for any help,
    Chris

    I have this same problem with mounted DAV server folders. I can see the files via Windows and other DAV clients -- just not via Finder. Moreover, it does not apply to all files: some of them do show up. And, it does not happen all of the time: just occasionally.

  • Finder can not  find and display certain files. Why? Any fix,please?

    I've discovered to my surprise that Finder can not  find and display certain files. Computer is Mac book OS X (10.6.8)
    No matter what Finder settings I use, there are files which it can not detect and display.
    Here are just some examples of files sitting in the HD but Finder can not display them:
    Located in  preference panes :
    fibre channel 1.7
    Located in :    /Library/StartupItems/BRESINKx86Monitoring
    BRESINKx86Monitoring
    FxLicenseManager
    Located in    /Library/StartupItems/FxLicenseManager
    EAP8021X
    Located in    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EAP8021X.framework
    The questions:
    What to make of this inability of Finder to ,well, find? (again - I tried all possible settings of Finder!)
    Is there any way to fix it?
    Thanks for any competent suggestion!

    Well, guys,
    Interesting suggestions but the problem remains -Finder (aka Spotlight) is not capable to find certain files.Period.
    I consider it as a fault of the system because in comparison, a search facility of a plain Windows based machine is capable to dig out and display any file, no matter now deeply hidden...
    As far as the suggestion above by softwater  goes , well, I've used the additional foptions  extensively and nothing produced the result needed -that's why I created this discussion.
    If someone still believes that using Finder with all its options is good enough, here is a test for you to perform on your own Mac:
    -Open  /Library/StartupItems/ and have a look inside - most likely you have a bunch of items. Write down the names of one or two of them. For this test I've chosen
    FxLicenseManager  located in    /Library/StartupItems/. You can use any file you want grom this location...
    - Then go to  Finder and set it to display everything in Library of the HD. Remember - for this test you pretend you don't know any file name in this folders.
    If the Finder works properly it shall display  folders  of Library >Startup items with all stuff inside, including the FxLicenseManager file I used for this test.
    Finder displayed nothing. It is obvious that for Finder, certain locations are off limits. That's why I consider Finder as a faulty.
    Of course if someone can set the Finder's  options to do the above search and succeed, I'll be glad to try ...:-)
    At this point, what I gather from this discussion is that :
    1. Finder (Spotlight) feature is not to be trusted,despite number of fancy but rather useless options.
    2. If you need to really find everything usually not displayed by Finder you better get real  searching software.
