Can't see files in document / downloads folder on dmg disk image

So my last update OSX 10.6.8 crapped out and i couldnt boot the system anymore... So i decided to install a new system, before i did that i backed up my whole HDD with disk utility into a compressed DMG file. I went ahead and installed OSX 10.7 new mounted the DMG file, problem is i can't see any files in my document or in my downloads folder anyone has a solution for this or know what causes this problem. Please let me know.

A warm welcome to the forums Sue!
The Finder is a bit lackadaisical about updating itself, you can click back & forth enough times, closing folders, opening folders and eventually it'll be in touch, or you can try something like "A Better Finder Attributes", for it's "force the Finder to update stale information about your files" feature.

Possibly this would help too, but haven't tried it...

  • How can I save a file in the Downloads folder and automatically have it opened?

    Often, I'd like to download a file, save it to my Downlaods folder and have it opened right away.
    Currently, you can only decide between the two options "open" or "save to...". There's seemlingly no way Firefox can do both at once.
    I know I can download it, open the downloads manager and open it manually. But when working with over a dozen documents a day, that doesn't quite do the trick.
    In Chrome, you only have to click twice: Once for downloading and once for opening it from the download bar on the bottom of the screen. You do not have to open a download manager.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

  • Can't see 'Upload Multiple Document' option in sharepoint 2013

    After upgrading Sharepoint 2010 to 2013, i can't see 'Upload Multiple Document' option under files tab. I have downloaded and place the file 'STSUPLD.DLL' into Office14 and Office15 folder but IE is not asking me to run any microsoft ActiveX control as mentioned here
    http://thuansoldier.net/?p=2289
    I am using  Office 2010 with IE9 (32 bit) .
    Am i missing anything ?

    Hi, 
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not see the “Upload Multiple Document” option in SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint 2013 the “Upload Multiple” Options has been depreciated. As we all known, there are two alternative ways to Upload multiple documents:option
    1 -  Using the drag-and-drop functionality, option 2 - Windows Explorer view.
    You can upgrade your IE from IE9 to IE10 then check whether it works.
    You can also use the Windows Explorer view to upload multiple documents.
    You will probably get the following error.
    To resolve this add the SharePoint site as Trusted in your Browser and Make sure that the WebClient service is running. To do this, follow these steps:
    Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then press Enter.
    In the list of services, locate the WebClient service, and then make sure that its status in the Status column is set to Started. If its status is not set to Started, double-click WebClient, click Start, and then click OK.
    Once done restart the browser and try opening the Windows Explorer again. In the Windows Explorer you can copy and paste Multiple documents as done in earlier SharePoint versions.

  • Firefox does not delete the .part file from my download folder after a successful download

    First off, I'm on a MacBook Pro, running 10.6.4 and FF3.6.12
    I've recently noticed that on occasion Firefox does not seem to delete the .part file associated with a successful download. The .part file (with a name consisting of a string of random characters followed by a .part extension) is visible in my Download folder stack, although not visible in the actual folder view. I cannot drag this file from the stack to the trash.
    The real problem stems from the fact that this seems to create a directory error on my hard drive. Were I to run Disk Utility (which I will have to do... again!), it would return with an error saying something like "incorrect block length", requiring me to boot up from my install disk and repair the drive.
    Is this maybe a bug? Is there something I might be doing wrong? Could an extension like AdBlock be messing up my downloads?

    It seems that FireFox leaves those partial download files if for any reason they get interrupted. It's possible to resume the download through various uninteresting means, but if you're like me, it gets filled up with files that I intentionally did not complete downloading.
    If you're terminal-savvy, you can set up a script that cleans up old .part files. Here's what I've set in my crontab:
    0 * * * * /usr/bin/find ~/Downloads/*.part -atime +1 -exec rm {} \; &> /dev/null
    It will delete any files in my downloads folder that are at least 1 day old.
    To install this in your crontab, launch terminal and type "crontab -e"
    This will bring up a text editor, probably vi. You'll see a bunch of ~'s down the left side. Type "i" to go into "insert" mode. The bottom left will say "-- INSERT --"
    Copy and paste (or type) the line of code I have above.
    Hit enter just to make sure you have a newline at the end.
    Hit "Escape" to exit the insert mode.
    Hit Shift-Z Shift-Z (that's Shift-Z twice) to exit the editor.
    You should see a status message "crontab: installing new crontab"
    If you type "crontab -l" you should see your newly installed crontab.
    At the top of the next hour, any .part files that are more than a day old should be deleted, and this should continue forever.

  • Using spotlight, I was able to see where a document of folder was located. Now, I see a image of the document but have no idea where it is located.  Is this a setting I change? I really don't need to see or open the docs and folders, I just need to locate

    Using an older operating system, when I used spotlight for a serch I was able to see where the document or folder is located.
    Now, I see an image thats nice, but I must open it it find out where it is stored.  Perhaps this is a setting change?  
    I search not always to open, but just to see where like files are stored.

    Ok sorry. Yes it doesn't anymore but I think you can right click on the entry in the SL search and select either Get Info or Open in Finder and then it will display the location of that file. I don't use spotlight as I think it is @^%$&. I use Easyfind.
    Apple doesn't think the user needs to know the path of their files so they removed that feature of spotlight.

  • My MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) seems to be making copies of files in my download folder.  Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

    My MacBookPro with Mountain Lion seems to be making copies of files in my download folder.  Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

    This issue has nothing to do with Time Machine or local snaphsots. No built-in feature of OS X does what you describe.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' 
    Copy (command-C) the selected text to the Clipboard. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copy-and-paste as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' 
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Opened a bogus email *.zip file from amazon that put two files in my downloads folder OSX 10.8

    Hi
    Can anyone advise my next steps to take, I accidentally opened a bogus email *.zip file attachment from 'Amazon" It unzipped an put two files in my downloads folder one appeared to be a *.exe file. They were deleted immediately along with the email.
    Now I am terrified that there is something lurking on my system...trojan/ keylogger/ virus..
    I am no expert so can anyone give me help!
    My mac is 8 months old running OSX 10.8 with latest updates.
    Thanks Mick

    Thank you both, you have put my mind at rest.
    Normally I am red hot at intercepting bogus emails, not today it would appear!
    I actually was in the process of deleting it and double clicked the file by complete accident, and in a flash it had opened up and put the files in the folder, I spent the rest of the afternoon panicing and reading all forums blogs etc..
    Actually Thomas I found your blog and took some good tips from it, one of them was to switch java off immediately.
    Thanks again

  • How do I empty all the files in the "Downloads" folder ?

    How do I empty all the files in the "Downloads" folder ? Can they all be deleted at once?

    PS: when you look into the menu bar commands by mouse, you may note
    there are keyboard shortcuts to perform the same tasks; such as they are.
    *Edit> Select all* = uses 'Command + A' keys to do this, without mouse/menu.
    And, it can be done quickly by keyboard. +(this will select all, for the next step)+
    You would have to select the folder to be edited; yet there also are other key
    board commands to select items, folders, applications, etc all without a mouse.
    Once you choose items in a folder or other location, you can then use a
    keyboard command to Move them to the Trash; from there, Empty Trash
    with a three-key command; all without use of the mouse.
    The keys to *Move to Trash* looks like it is 'Command + Delete'. Some key-
    boards have two marked delete keys, so you may have to try both. The
    +small delete key+ has an icon with right-facing x in a box.
    The three keys, to *Empty Trash* via keyboard instead of menu bar/mouse
    appear to be the combination of 'up-arrow, command, delete.'
    Understanding some of the iconography of symbols used to indicate function,
    or what keys to use, as indicated by icons instead of words, is not too hard.
    There are articles and web pages which show various keyboard shortcuts.
    Here's an example, from one of several I've bookmarked over a few years.
    This one has images and shows what the key shortcut symbols mean.
    • Mastering Keyboard Shortcuts: (from myfirstmac site)
    http://www.myfirstmac.com/index.php/mac/articles/mastering-keyboard-shortcuts
    • Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343
    However, if you have anything you may want to keep before mass deleting, be
    sure to move it into another folder. +re: The docked folders in Leopard+ 10.5 have
    one .PDF in each, about each of the purposed folders. I haven't deleted mine yet.
    {And I've added another folder into the dock near the Trash for my own alias items
    and the original is on the hard disk drive (one user) or could be put into an account
    folder so it would not have permissions or privilege issues with a second account.}
    I'd thought about those 'keyboard symbols' after the first posting; but,
    had to take an elder parent on several errands that took quite awhile.
    PS: there probably are ways to use AppleScript and Automator to handle folder contents.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can't see files that are backedup

    I have a G4 iMac that has both an internal (small) and external (large) drive that I use for data. I am using a time capsule to backup the whole system.
    When I run Time Machine it appears to backup both disks, the log file shows both drives having many GBs of data being transferred without any errors.
    However, when I go into the TM application, I can only see files that are on the internal drive. I can only see my external 'LaCie HFS' in the Now view, going back in time that drive is greyed out.
    If I use the finder when the TC is mounted, I can traverse into 'Backup.backupdb/iMac/2009-08-074700' and I can see the 'LaCie HFS' folder and in it are all my backed up files.
    I have looked through the FAQ and various postings but cannot find an answer.
    The closest thing that I can see as being a potential problem is that my old internal drive uses an Apple Partition Map while my new external drive uses a GUID Partition Table.
    Why would backupd created backups that Time Machine cannot see?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Try this: Open a Finder window and press ShiftCmdC (or select your computer name in the Finder Sidebar).
    Then +Enter Time Machine.+
    On the first Finder window in the "cascade," labelled Now, you'll see all the volumes currently attached to your Mac.
    Select the Finder window for any backup, and you'll see a folder for each drive/volume that was backed-up, including any that are no longer connected. Navigate from there to whatever you're looking for.

    Installed Acrobat XI Standard on windows 8.1, see it in my download folder but it will not run?  Help?

    Also, once you successfully install, please backup the install file to a separate HD and/or CD. I agree that your comment is not clear. You say you installed it, but it is simply in the download folder. Did you run the install file that you downloaded? The download does not install the program, but the install is an extra step.
