After updating to Mavericks my files aren't visible?

After I updated to Mavericks, all my documents/downloads are missing. It's not because it created a new user or anything... When I search in spotlight, I'm able to see them and it says they're in documents, but I don't see anything (even when I go in through Users). They show up in the all my files area, but nothing in the folders. Are they hidden? How do I fix this?

Hey there, I was experiencing the same problem. I did found a work around for it.
What i did:
1. open the documents folder
2. change the way the items is being shown (grid, column, etc) from the task bar.
Then the files magically appeared again. I hope the same way works for you too. this problem nearly gave me a heart attack.

  • After update to cs3, video files aren't recognized

    I created a project in cs3. Adobe update manager told me I had an update, so I saved my project, exited cs3, installed the updates, restarted my pc (win xp pro 32 bit) and when I loaded the project, the video files are all shown as off line. When I tried to re-link the video files, adobe gave a message that the video file was corrupt (it is not) or the file type is not supported. How can it be supported in cs3 BEFORE the update and not supported AFTER the update????? Is there a fix? I DO NOT want to recreate this project and I'm limited as the video files are what they are, I can't reshoot them! HELP!!

    Bob: Please forgive my ignorance. I did not find a product forum for
    Premiere, only, and since Premiere is part of the suite, I assumed I was in
    the right place. Please guide me to the Adobe Premiere CS3 product forum and
    I will gladly repost. Thank you.

    After updating to Mavericks, I can't seem to open files to attach to gmail messages. I can still drag and drop into them, but I'm unable to click on my documents through the paperclip icon on the bottom of composing my message.  Anyone else know a solution or facing the same issue?

  • Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks

    My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
    Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

    Chances are you have applications that are out of date and need to be updated. Another possibility is Spotlight is indexing and you to wait until it has finished.

  • After Updating to Mavericks my Outlook contacts and folders disappeared - How do I recover them?

    After Updating to Mavericks my Outlook folders and contacts disappeared - how do I recover them?  Thank you!

    It's possible Outlook opened in a new Identity.
    In the Finder go to your Documents folder > Microsoft User Data folder > Office 2011 Identities folder.
    Inside you should see your Identity. You might see other Identities from prior rebuilds. If Outlook opened in a new blank Identity you can open the Database Utility to set your old Identity as default.
    Options to check in the Identity to determine if it has data.
    Check the database file in the Identity to see when it was created and modified.
    Check the Data Records folder to see if it has these folders:
    Message Attachments
    Message Sources
    Messages
    If these folders are missing there are no messages.
    Open the Database Utility
    Hold down the Option key when launching Outlook. It will open the Database Utility.
    Click on the + to add a new Identity.
    Click on the gear to set default Identity.
    Another option to open the Database Utility is to open from Applications.
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/Microsoft Database Utility.app

  • After update to mavericks my epson 420sw scanner is not responding error w-61

    after update to mavericks. my epson all in one sx 420 sw the scanner is not responding error message w-61

    I'm having the same issue. The scanning software doesn't launch, the scanner appears in system preferences after a few unplugs and plugins, and software update doesn't give me the recommended ICA update.
    Also the Epson scan utilities aren't updated either and will be "released soon" according to here:

    They recommend to use image capture (which is a joke) in the mean time or you could buy vuescan but thats not much better for some things.

  • Problems after updating from Mavericks to Yosemite.

    Hello everyone.I have noticed some battery problems after updating from Mavericks to Yosemite like no charging at all (but the orange led was on )and not able to fully charged.I solve them with SMC reset and PRAM reset.Furthermore, battery discharges faster than before and its really annoying.Now I have notice that the upper right corner of my mac is getting hot.I'll appreciate any help
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • Is there any way to get your pictures back after updating to maverick?

    is there any way to get your pictures back after updating to maverick?

    Is Aperture not launching at all? Then update Aperture like Ernie recommended. You'll need version 3.5.1, or 3.4.5 with Mavericks. If you have any Aperture 3 version, you should be able to update for free.
    After updating Aperture, make sure you have a backup copy of your Aperture library, before opening it in the new version.  Click the Aperture library, to open Aperture on your library.
    Or, is the problem, that Aperture opened on an empty library? Then check the file system on the drive with your Aperture library. It may have the wrong formatting. Then move your Aperture library to a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). Click the

  • Wifi Issues after updating to Mavericks

    After updating to Mavericks, the wifi on my 2011 Macbook Air started to drop a few minutes after connection. I performed wireless diagnostics, and here are the logs generated by the program.
    First is the monitoring log:

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Turn off the base station for about ten seconds then turn it back on.
    See if that makes a difference.
    Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.
    See if that helps the Wi-Fi connection.

  • After updating to Mavericks "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS

    after updating to Mavericks a window pops up saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS.  How can I access my files. Secondly, is there a way to allow these programs to function?

    Quite honestly, a step by step guide to install Windows into Parallels could be needed by some basic or novice users, as well!
    My point is to not scare aware a user with a problem where a potential solution exists. 
    This is especially true because some of the few, but vocal, "naysayers" about this approach would use your statements to validate their continued criticism of it.
    One guy in particular criticises every option other than upgrading to Mavericks compatible software, even when the OP clearly expresses a problem where that option does not exist! ... and he was an early and very vocal proponent of the "installing Snow Leopard into a new partition - 'dual-booting' solution" when Lion was first released back in 2011!

  • I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4

    I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?

    Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

    After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my apple ID log-in to work again?

    Several times I've re-entered my passwords under Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud and it won't save since I've installed Mavericks.  Also, the iCloud icon in the left column in Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud is greyed out but allows me to click on it to set-up.  When I click on iCloud the password is filled out but the "Enable this account" check-box is not checked.  I check it, and all seems correct.  The icon is no longer grey, the password is correct, the "activate this account" check-box is checked.  Then, when I launch mail, notes etc. I'm still prompted to re-enter my apple ID.  The log-in loop continues.  For years my keychain has worked perfectly.  What has changed in Mavericks?
