Boot Camp 3.0 recognises Mac HFS drives but does not list all folders

Hi
I have just done a clean install of Boot Camp/Windows XP using the Boot Camp 3.0 drivers that come with Snow Leopard, and was pleased to find native support for Mac Drives (HFSJ). Whilst all of the Mac drives in my Mac Pro are recognised and can be opened and explored in Windows explorer, a number of folders in one of the drives didn't show up. I could access them by typing the exact path in windows explorer, but when using the mouse to open the drive a number of folders could not be found. Furthermore, windows applications, such as media libraries, would not pick up any files in the folders that couldn't be seen in explorer.
I went back to OSX to check that all of the folders were indeed present and they were. So in the end I reverted to using my Macdrive software again and all of the folders showed up again and worked as expected. So, it may be that the new bootcamp drivers are not all they are cracked up to be.
Anyone else experienced similar issues, or got any clues as to what I might need to get this working right?
Thanks
Nick

I am having that issue, but haven't worried about it since I've only booted to windows 2 times since the upgrade. Both times I've experienced a much more aggravating problem. Both times in order to reboot to OSX I have to use the install disc to repair the OSX drive because something renames it to "disk1s2" plus some counts are invalid. I use Macdrive, but since SL the mac volumes appear just as any other drive icon. Using Parallels or Fusion works as it always has, automatically shutting of Macdrive which leads me to think that Macdrive may be the culprit. Gonna try disabling it completely while running virtual and see if that makes it work. If not it'll just be another aspect of my Mac that Apple updates have made useless.

  • Mac does not list all folders in a SMB share

    Hi guys, this is a bit of a weird one and I've tried everything I can think of.
    In our house we have a media centre running Windows 7. It has several shares, one of which we'll call folder "X". Folder X opens correctly on the media centre, and any other Windows machine perfectly. Almost every other machine in the house is running OS X 10.6, and one of my housemates today noted that some of the folders inside of folder X were not listed on a Mac. So far we've tested it on 2 Macs and 2 Windows machines, and everytime the Windows machine lists all folders inside of X, where the Mac does not. The weird thing is, it's cutting them out alphabetically, so it's basically from D through to I that are missing, all in all there are 30 (out of 160) folders missing inside of Folder X...here's what I've tried.
    On the Windows 7 machine:
    -Restarted server service
    -Removed Share X and re-added
    -Checked share permissions on folder X
    -Checked permissions on folder X, propagated to all child folders just in case.
    -Restarted machine after every change.
    On the Macs we haven't really tried much as there's not much we can think to change. We've tried Finder, Path Finder (which I'm guessing will be exactly the same), restarting, removing from workgroup and re-adding...I can't think what would cause such a weird problem.
    To make things harder we don't know exactly when it started happening but the OSX machines definitely used to list the folders and it happens on more than one mac. which I guess makes me think it's something on the Windows client. The 30 folders are not using any nonstandard characters, some are only a few letters long.
    Ideas on a postcard!?

    Reporting the same problem.
    1. Have Windows 7 MediaCenter with file sharing set up properly (LM+NTLM Authentication allowed and 128-bit encryption disabled in security policies).
    2. Test folder ("C:\income") and all the subfolders' owner is 'Guest', full access is granted for everyone.
    3. Connecting to MediaCenter from MacBook with Finder by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income
    4. Finder connects successfully, but some sub-folders and files are not being listed.
    Workaround:
    5. You can open a not-listed folder directly by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income/some-invisible-folder
    6. Voila! You're inside invisible folder.
    In the meantime, i can see all the sub-folders on a Windows XP client machine, so i can make a conclusion that all of these 'invisible' sub-folders are actually accessible by Finder, but in some reason are just not being listed on Mac.

  • I just purchased Apple USB SuperDrive and connected to my Mac mini 2012 but does not show anything on the screen. Not sure if its working.

    I just purchased Apple USB SuperDrive and connected to my Mac mini late 2012 USB slot but nothing shows up on the screen.
    I have OS X versus 10.10.3

    The system bus and all connected products should appear in the system profile or in the
    hardware part of About this Mac (more info) and if that does not, restart the computer with
    the external Apple USB SuperDrive plugged in. •As a last resort, if nothing else, before a
    return trip to be rid of the SuperDrive, you could try a system management controller reset.
    The SMC reset is not a first choice, so I won't post a link to the support instruction page.
    A new Apple USB SuperDrive should be seen as hardware in system information report.
    Of course, an icon of disc media should appear once the disc is inserted into the drive, too.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Iphoto library on external hard drive now does not show all the photos when i access it from macbook

    i backed up iphoto library to an external hard drive.  Deleted photo library on the macbook.  After transferring some new photos to macbook from a camera, when i access the iphoto library on external hard drive only the new photos show up.  Originals are still in files, but don't appear when opening iphoto library on external hard drive.

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Mac turns on, but does not seem to load OS.

    A few days ago my 27-inch iMac running snow leopard, would turn on as usual,but would get to the first screen which is typically white.  Usually, theapple logo appears seconds later and you can see the spinning icon below itshowing the process of loading in the OS.  Generally, this would take lessthan a minute and I was up and running.
    However, a few days ago, I turned on the computer, it came up to the whitescreen and just froze there - no logo, no progress icon - nothing.  Iwaited for over five minutes and then I just held the power button on the backand it shut down.  Tried again, same issue.  Feeling a bit nervous, Iturned off the power strip and waited for about 30 seconds and turned the stripback on.  I then turned on the Mac, and she fired right up as usual. Was relieved to say the least...
    However, it is doing this all the time after each time I shut down. Has anyone else experienced this issue?  If so, what did you do to correctit?  Or, what might be causing this in the first place?
    The reason I am concerned, about two weeks ago, I updated my Flash player;and then yesterday, I get an article from a friend about a Trojan Horse that disguisesitself as the Flash Player update and can affect Adobe apps.  This may becoincidence, but it makes me a bit uneasy.  Any advice would beappreciated...

    I came on here to look for a solution to the same problem, I had read in various places that 800Mhz ram is fine i a 667Mhz system as the 800 is just a maximum speed, also have installed 1 higher speed module in another imac with no problems.
    My parents asked me to upgrade the RAM in their mid-2007 aluminium 20"imac and the 800Mhz was slightly cheaper so I thought I might as well go for it. Upon installing the sticks the computer refused to turn on, I then checked online to discover one stick of faster RAM with a slower stick is ok but two sticks of faster DDR2 is unacceptable for some reason. I sighed deeply at my stupidity and the wierdness of this quirk and installed both the old sticks of ram back in the system.
    It now exhibits the problem you outlined, power button = lit blank screen, chime sound but no signs of OS loading.
    Tried leaving it unplugged for a while to reset PRAM but to no avail, tried holding the power button while plugging the power lead in after reading it on another forum and all this did was add a fan stuck on full power to the list of things it does when I turn it on....
    I've broken my parents' imac, help!!

  • Mac Mail sends but does not receive

    Hi
    Big problem!
    Just upgraded to Lion - and this problem was on Snow Leopard too - I tried to upgrade to sort this out!
    Mail sends emails but does not recieve.
    I own the server where it is trying to connect to - the emails are there - I can see them through webmail.
    I have set up different email accounts on Mail and exactly the same for all domains and email accounts.
    I have re-installed Mail - exactly the same happens.
    I have used Thunderbird and it works!
    So it has to be a Mail problem. Server is fine, OS is fine, other email is fine. Mail is the problem.
    I think it has to do with keychain? Not sure though... I have tried literally hundreds of things but nothing works and I am at my wits end and run out of ideas!
    Any suggestions would be warmly received!!
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I have the same problem with my incoming mail.  I talked to the folks at Frontier (my ISP). They verified that a
    test message I had sent was received.  All account info appeared to be ok.  I click on "get mail"  and I do not
    receive any new incoming messages.  All connections succeed Using Connection Doctor, although the connection to smtp.frontiernet.net spins quite awhile before succeeding.
    While I was composing this reply, I decided to try to send a test message to my wife's account.  It came
    through ok.  I think I might have to contact Frontier again on this.  When I set her account up they gave me a
    different Incoming Mail Server name to use:  pop3.frontier.com, whereas mine is: pop3.frontiernet.net.  I believe
    new accounts are being assigned to: pop3.frontier.com.
    Also, when I'm showing all inboxes,  Mine all have a symbol after them that looks like a lazy z.  I am not familiar
    with this symbol, but since I'm having trouble, I suspect it is telling me something. Help on this??

  • AMD Crossfire, Boot Camp, and the new Mac Pro Issue

    Hello, all.
    I have a new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with 6 cores, 32 GB RAM, and dual D700 AMD graphics cards.  I'm using an older 30 inch Apple Cinema Display (with the dual link DVI adapter).  I've successfully installed Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp.  Here's my problem...
    I understand that for the new Mac Pro under Boot Camp enables AMD CrossfireX by default from multiple sources online.  However, it's disabled on mine, and every time I try to enable it (and hit "Apply" in the AMD Control Center), it disables again.
    Is Crossfire only available for use with a Thunderbolt Display attached?  Could that be the problem?  Or is the AMD Control Panel lying to me?
    Now, games in Windows are still running well... But I'd like to take full advantage of the dual graphics cards in the new Mac Pro with Crossfire.  Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Fixed it!
    So, not only would Crossfire not enable under Windows 8.1 on my Mac Pro in Boot Camp... But Windows started crashing massively.  I was about to wipe Boot Camp entirely and try a clean install (even though the only three things I'd installed were Windows itself using Apple's exact instructions, Steam, and Skyrim), but decided in a last ditch effort to try disconnecting and reconnecting peripherals.
    Turns out the culprit was my Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock.
    Disconnecting the Belkin Thunderbolt dock not only stopped Windows from crashing, but now I can enable Crossfire, as well!
    Now, this is especially strange since I have read elsewhere that people have no problems using the Belkin dock under Boot Camp with other Macs... This issue is probably isolated to using it in Boot Camp with the new Mac Pro.  But disconnecting the dock from my Mac Pro has solved not just one but all of my Boot Camp issues.  (Of course, using the Belkin dock under OSX on my Mac Pro is no problem.)
    Long story short, if you have a new Mac Pro and plan on using Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp, don't have the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock attached.
    I'm going to contact Belkin and tell them what I've discovered.
    Hope that helps y'all.

  • Boot Camp Assistant creates non bootable Windows drive

    Hello all
    I've been trying, for the last 8 hours to install Windows via Boot Camp without any success
    Some information:
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
    OS X Yosemite
    Windows source file: en_windows_7_professional_x64_dvd_X15-65805.iso
    1. The first problem I had was that Boot Camp wouldn't enable the "Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk"
         1.a) I tried burning a DVD without success
         2.b) I finished by changing Boot Camp Content Folder as instructed here.
    2. Once, with the USB installed I partitioned my HD via Boot Camp but, after restarting the computer, I would receive a message asking me to insert a valid bootable drive.
         2.a) I searched some more and found out that only GUID partition type USBs will boot.
         2.b) I checked the USB Partition Map Scheme and it says: Master Boot Record
         2.c) I changed the partition type back to GUID but, of course, when Boot Camp reinstalls Windows it goes back to MBR...
    3. Why in the earth would Boot Camp create a non bootable bootable drive???
    4. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks a lot!

    On Macs with built-in Optical drives as indicated for your Mac (MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) - Technical Specifications) you need to use a DVD.
    There are only a couple of 2012 models which support either USB or OD.
    Creating a USB with ISO can be done either using a tool like Rufus or http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200124.aspx . BCA will use the Mac's model identifier to set booting. There is no work around for BCA. You can try these two see if you can make any progress.

  • I can't install Boot Camp Windows drivers from Mac OS X v10.6 install DVD

    1- I already installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit using Boot Camp Assistant 3.04 on my new Mac Book Pro 13" purchased this week, on a 60 G partition.
    2- While in Windows 7 and after inserting my Mac OS X installation DVD, the screen displayed the Auto Play "DVD RW Drive  (D:) Windows Support " 
        box where I selected: "Run setup.exe Published by Apple Inc." and double click on it
    3- Then the Screen showed the "Install Assistant" with two options on it instead of the supposed "Welcome to Boot Camp Installer" . The option were:
        Remote Install OSX and DVD or CD Sharing.
    4- At that point I didn't know how to continue, so I quit the process and now I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON HOW TO.

    i tried to download the windows suport SOftware "boot  Camp" and it freezes!
    No i can install the boot camp, but does not acept the windos 7
    It runs all to the end the installation of windows, Then it begins, creating a new user, and when it will start , it CRACHES!
    Jesus with the Lion it wasn't so Hard to install it!!

  • Boot Camp Is Unable to Partition My Drive

    Hello,
    The first time around I managed to set up Boot Camp and Windows 7 Home Basic very successfully and effortlessly on my MBP mid-2012.
    Then I found out I could not get activation key for it because Microsoft no longer sold the Basic version. I downloaded the Windows 7 Home Premium version and bought an activation key from Microsoft and am now trying to get it on my computer.
    Using Boot Camp Assistant I was able to delete the partition on which old Windows resided. Then using Boot Camp Assistant I built a USB drive that included the new ISO for the Windows 7 Home Premium edition and then the process went well and all necessary support files were downloaded.
    We got to the point where I selected the size of the partition and Boot Camp Assistant tried to partition it except that it is not able to. It doesn't giver any reason, it just says: "Your disc could not be partitioned. An error occurred while partitioning the disk."
    Anyone here knows what could be the cause of the problem and possibly how I can resolve it?
    By the way, I have checked and the base format of the drive is Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and the disk has only one partition.
    Thanks much.
    Farzad

    I am doing a TM backup now. I looked at the iDefrag and the drive definitely needs defragmenting, according to the software, but I thought with Macs we don't need to worry about those things. I want to do one other thing I read somewhere else as a remedy for this inability to partition the drive before taking the leap and doing the full erase and reinstall.
    Here is the link on the internet: http://crounji.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/a-solution-to-your-disk-could-not-be-par titioned-error-on-boot-camp-assistant/.
    And I believe another forum has discussed this topic.
    Here is another approach I want to try: Boot Camp: Partition alert message when using Boot Camp Assistant

  • Boot Camp / Windows 8.1 64-bit / Driver compatibility issues

    Hi everyone,
    I have been struggling to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version through Boot Camp on my MacBook Air 13 inch mid-2012 for a few days and I have finally decided to give up and write this thread to see if anyone has encountered the same problems as I have and if they've found a solution.
    What I've tried so far:
    1. First attempt
         a. Download the ISO from Microsoft (We are a Microsoft Partner and have access to internal use licences of Windows 8.1).
         b. Use the Boot Camp utility to create a bootable USB drive, download the latest Boot Camp drivers and partition my SSD drive.
              Issue: Upon rebooting, I got the "No bootable device found" error message. I still tried to boot on the USB drive, which I was able to, but           when installing Windows, I was unable to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as it contained a "MBR partition table"           instead of a GPT.
    2. Second attempt
         a. I searched the Internet about the error message about the MBR partition table.
         b. The solution I found was to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as "Free space".
         c. I was then able to start Windows installation by formatting the partition I wanted to allot it to through the Windows installation process.
              Issue: The installation went smoothly until my computer rebooted the first time and the "Peripherals preparation" step (sorry about the           approximate translation, I'm used to the French version of it) got stuck at 10% and was brutally followed by a black screen. Forcing the           computer to restart would show the Windows logo and go straight back to the black screen situation...
    3. Third attempt
         a. I decided to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive using UNetBootin utility and creating a "Free space" partition through Disk      Utility on which to install Windows.
         b. I then booted on the USB Drive and was able to install Windows properly.
         c. I donwloaded the set of Boot Camp drivers through Apple's wesbsite corresponding to my MacBook Air model.
              Issue: Somehow, the graphics driver installed by Boot Camp made my system crash as I got a black screen when it tried to install. Even           without doing anything and having Windows try to install the right driver by itself, I got a black screen and an unusable installation of           Windows 8.1.
    What am I missing here? Why isn't the Boot Camp utility working when it should be so easy? Is there a compatibility issue of my graphics driver (Intel HD Graphics 4000) with Windows running under Boot Camp?
    Thanks in advance for your help. I'm in desperate need of a solution as I don't want to go back to using virtualisation softwares such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare, etc. though they work just fine...
    Best regards,
    Alex

    1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
    2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
    3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.
