Finder not updating when files change

I’ve started experiencing a really irritating problem whereby the Finder does not automatically update the view of a directory when I save a file in it. It seems to ignore all file system changes.
This never used to happen. In fact, when I first installed Leopard I was very impressed at how instantly file system changes were reflected in Finder windows.
Looking at some of the other threads here I tried relaunching Finder to see if that made a difference. However, attempting to relaunch Finder causes it to ‘exit’ and not restart. If I do "ps ax | grep Finder", I get this line:
486 ?? E 0:00.00 (Finder)
The process will not exit, even if I try to “kill -9” it.
Sometimes rebooting solves the problem.

Yeah seem to be having the same problem with Finder updating as well.
I deleted a few of the files in my download folder and all the files disappeared. Yet only the properly deleted files appeared in the Trash. I browsed back to the dowload folder and one thing had reappeared, then all the others suddenly appeared out of nowhere while I was looking at the folder.
Very strange.

  • Condition value not updated when qty changed

    hi all,
    I have created a new condition ZPR1 (copied from PR00) and use a new formula for it.
    There is a problem when I change the qty after the item is billed.
    Suppose the original qty is 1 and total ZPR1 price is 100. When I change the qty to 2, the ZPR1 price is still 100! It will change to 200 if the item is not billed.
    Anybody encounters such problem and how to solve?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I don't mean to change the unit price.
    I mean the condition value (the item total price) is not updated
    You can't change the price anymore in the condition tab after you billed
    But when you change the qty of the item, the total value should change accordingly
    And I think for my case I should not cancel the invoice. Suppose original qty is 10, and there is partial shipment of 7 and billed the customer. Later customer request to reduce the qty to 7 to complete the item. We should not cancel the invoice in this case.
    Try to test with PR00 and PN00, you will see the item value will be changed according to the item qty.

  • Desktop does not update when I change networks

    I'm having this odd behavior that I hope someone can shed some light on.
    My desktop is set to keep my icons arranged by name. All of my volumes appear on the desktop, as well. I've noticed in recent weeks that whenever I switch networks, my desktop stops updating. It happens when I unplug my ethernet at work and move to the wireless network, or when I pack up, come home, and connect to my wireless network at home. When I connect to a network volume or plug in my iPod, the icons do not appear on my desktop. Or, if I delete a file from my desktop, it leaves an empty space instead of rearranging the icons like I have it set to do.
    I've found two ways to fix it.
    (1) Relaunch Finder.
    (2) Open the Desktop View Options (Command-J) and adjust the grid spacing.
    Once I do either of these things, all of the icons rearrange appropriately and network volumes I've connected to since switching networks appear. However, on Monday, when I go in to work, I'll have to do one of those two things again.
    Maybe it's just a nuisance, but I worry that behavior like this is a symptom of a larger problem. I can't think of any new software I've installed that might be causing this trouble. I've repaired permissions and deleted caches and all that stuff. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Since changing the grid spacing fixes things, I don't think this is a switching network issue. It sounds to me like its a switching screen resolutions issue. I'm guessing that you have your machine plugged into a monitor at one location and not the other, or you have monitors of different sizes/resolutions at both locations. You can test this theory by simply changing your screens resolution once you get your machine into this state. If it fixes the problem, then I was right.
    As far as a permanent fix, I don't think there is one. Only workarounds like you have already discovered.

  • Finder not updating copied files

    When I copy a file to a different folder, Finder does not show it. If I try to recopy, it says the file already exists there.

  • All components not updating when I change the L&F

    I have developed a GUI and want Windows LookAndFeel for it. Please excuse me if I use some terms incorrectly. I'll explain my class structure first -
    1. class MainWindow - Contains the main method and invokes MainFrame
    2. class MainFrame - Creates the basic GUI and all the components and their event-handlers
    3.class MainPanel - Contains the actions to be taken in response to an event in MainFrame
    4. Dialog Boxes : Their are several classes implementing several dialog boxes which I load as needed.
    I have changed the L&F in the MainFrame class after all the MainFrame class components have been loaded. I have also used updateComponentTreeUI( ) to update all components already formed. I found out that not all components are having the Windows L&F when I tried out a JProgressBar. Instead of the green-broken progress indicator (Windows XP style), it was showing the gray-filled indicator (Java style). Then I noticed even the Menu Items are having the default L&F. Can anyone comment. Not giving any code because I am not sure which part of the huge GUI code should I post, i.e. where the problem really lies.

    You just said it doesn't work for a menu. So you
    create a frame with a menu and a menu item. About 10
    lines of code. Then you add two buttons one to switch
    to the Windows LAF the other to the Metal LAF.
    Another 10 lines of code. Now you have your demo
    program.No no, you din't get me. I know the basics regarding L&F. All the components are working fine, but that JProgressBar is not showing the XP view. Forget the JMenuItems, I am not sure the view is Windows L&F or Metal L&F, but I am sure the JProgressBar is not Windows L&F (while the rest of the components in the dialog box are perfect). Could this be due to something that I missed out while implementing the JProgressBar. But the Windows L&F is loaded before the dialog box containing the progress bar comes in. Your answer to my last Swing post helped me a lot. Hope you (or anyone else) can help me with this too

  • Treetable does not update when plsql changes db

    Hi,
    I have a database table based VO. From this VO I create a treetable.
    Now I use a pl sql procedure that I invoke from my UI that rollsup data that is shown in the treetable.
    My problem is that a simple addPartialTarget statement on the treetable is not refreshing the data that is shown in the tree table after the rollup finishes and the results are written to the DB.
    I also tried the sequence of these methods that I found somewhere.
    vo.clearCache();
    vo.refreshCollection(null,true,true);
    vo.executeDetailQuery(masterRows);
    This also did not work. On inspection of the code in these methods I saw that they operate on the default iterator (the later 2 calls). Hence my problem since treetable is supposed to have some internal iterators.
    My question is how do I force the treetable to refresh itself in my scenario or more preceisely the VO to update the values in its cache and than the treetable partial target should be able to pick up these changes ?
    Regards.

    So here is the soln for all interested
    After reading the documentation on refresh properties I saw the tip that the only way to refresh the iterators was to call execute on the given iterator.
    This can be done as below :
    // Tell the iterator to re-execute the query to get the new data
    ControlBinding ctr = (ControlBinding) getBindingContainer().getControlBinding("YourTreeBindingNameHere");
    CollectionModel model = (CollectionModel)this.yourTreeTable.getValue();
    JUCtrlHierBinding hierBinding = (JUCtrlHierBinding)model.getWrappedData();
    hierBinding.executeQuery();
    // refresh UI to show the new data in the iterator above.
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(yourTreeTable);
    Setting the refresh to any amount of properties would not have helped and indeed did not help as I tried it all out.
    Sorry can't find the document page again for this post but you will find this tip where all the property values for Refresh attribute on the iterator are defined i.e. ifNeeded, prepareModel etc.

  • DCS does not update when file saving windows appear

    I am using LabView (with Fieldpoint opc) to control plant operations. When I save a labview file and the Save the VI window appears
    with the files/directories etc, everyprocess running on the computer freezes, input/output data from fieldpoint does not change
    until the Save the VI window is gone (ie file saved or cancel pressed).  This is not a very good situation for realtime online control
    of processes.

    Hi Brendan,
    Can you tell us a little more about your application?  From the title, it sound like you're using the DSC Module.  Is that correct?  What are you doing in the VIs?  Is the VI that you're modifying part of the running application?  Do you have any VIs running on the Fieldpoint?

  • ICal does not update when calendar changes are made on all my other devices. Prompt that the server does not recognize the password, but the password is correct.

    I have an iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, MacBook Air and recently bought an iPad Air. Since I synced my iPad, my iCal on my Macbook no longer updates and every time I open it, this window appears even if I didn't change or forget my password. So I tried changing my password and still this window appears. I hope someone can help me. Thanks!

    As if by magic it is now working. I went away from the mac for a couple of hours, came back and it started to work. This is scary as I would expect this kind of action on a Mickysoft machine but not a Mac. Ho Hum - at least the problem has been sorted even if I don't know how.

    }problem comes when I try to change the language without changing the current root
    the elements of the view are not updated when the bundle is changed (CtrlLanguage.setLanguage("file");) until the root is changed/loaded again
    is there any way so i can make the content change without having to reload again the root?

  • Finder not updating

    We have a Mac Pro that will not update when new files are placed on the server. We made a folder on the server through the MacPro and it will not show. It showed on all other macs and PCs. It is completely updated and permissions have been repaired.

    Yeah seem to be having the same problem with Finder updating as well.
    I deleted a few of the files in my download folder and all the files disappeared. Yet only the properly deleted files appeared in the Trash. I browsed back to the dowload folder and one thing had reappeared, then all the others suddenly appeared out of nowhere while I was looking at the folder.
