Can't see files on NAS only Folders?

Strange question - I just had to do a data retrieval from a Windows 7 disk from a PC before I reinstalled the operating system. (my daughters form work, It crashed). I used a Hard Drive Docking Station to read the drive and stored them on my NAS (A Windows HP Server)using my iMac. I have a lot of my stuff there, When I copied the Folders I wanted they all showed up on the Server, but when I drilled down to see the files it was blank??? I thought for a minute that whatever had happened to the PC has deleted all the files but just to make sure I started up an older Windows Laptop I had abandoned a coupel years ago and connected to the NAS and in fact all the files within the folders are there. I never had this happen before and can't explain it. Is there any reason why when I view the Folder from a MAC that I can't see the files that were written on a PC but copied to the NAS by the MAC?
I know, dump the PC and get her a MAC. Trust me I've already told her that....

Can't attach files to email, only folders

This problem happens with Apple Mail, when I click the paperclip icon - the subdirectory appears but I cannot open any folders. I also cannot adjust the view (list, icons, etc). I can attach entire folders, but that's not what I want to do (I want to attach individual files). I know I can drag and drop files, but that's not how I like to work. Furthermore, I also have this problem when using web-based email providers (hotmail, gmail) AND when trying to send files through Facebook's messaging system. The drag-and-drop option does not apply here.
This has been happening for the past couple of days.
I know I'm not the first person to have encountered this problem - a number of users have reported the same issue. But so far, I haven't come across any fixes. Any help would be appreciated.

I have this problem too and/but only recently. Really annoying. Someone suggested reinstalling Mac OS (10.7.5)
- oh joy; can't even remember how to do that & as if I have nothing better to do.

Can't see files on usb stick - folders are there but no files inside

Hello
I plugged in my usb stick to download some pictures I have on there. The folders of the different albums are there and the info says the folders are of the right size (5gb for instance) but the files do not show so I can't copy them onto my Mac.
I tried it on a pc and it shows all the picture files and works fine.
I originally downloaded the pictures from my camera whilst abroad on a PC in a cafe and then transferred to the USB.
Anyone got any clues?
Thanks.....

Can't see files burned to CD from windows machine

I'll keep it short.
CDROM burned on a windows PC has files that I want to view on my imac G4. When I put the CD into my mac, there are no files...only folders. If I do "get info" on the folders, they are all at zero KB. If I then take the CD to any windows PC, all of the files are viewable, and the folders show their true sizes. I can then put the files and folders on a USB drive, go back to the imac and see all of my files at that point. This has been tested thee times with the same result every time.
Any ideas?

The problem may be how the CD was formatted. Macs support ISO-9660 better than any other crossplatform format.
Recently Software Architects has improved UDF support on the Mac, though I have yet to test it to see how true their claim is:

Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream. However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them. When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

I can not see my albums artwork only on my iPad

I can not see my albums artwork only on my iPad! What should I do?

Hello JChalups,
It sounds like your phone has calendars that your iPad no longer shows. First verify that the same calendars that are on your phone are stored in iCloud by checking the calendar at http://www.icloud.com. I would use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article on your iPad. If not, then use it on your iPhone instead:

Leopard can't see files/folders in .dmg Tiger backup

Okay, I have two macs, an old upgraded Cube and my MacBook Pro. I used CCC to create disk images of both and put them on an external firewire drive.
Both disk images mounted just fine, so I went ahead with my Leopard install (did a clean install) on my MacBook Pro.
Now I want to get my files Apps and such off my .dmg. I plug the Firewire drive into my MacBook Pro and open the .dmg. The only folders showing up in there are dev, Developer, Library, sw, System, Updaters and Users. GAH! Where's my Applications folder among several other missing ones?! I thought CCC didn't back it up after all.
So I plugged the Firewire drive into my Cube and opened the .dmg there and ALL the folders and files show up in the Finder on the Cube still running Tiger. Okay, I CAN manually copy over all the files by mounting my MacBook Pro hard drive on the Cube and telling the Cube what to move over. But this is really slow.
One more thing, I just went into the volume in terminal on the Leopard machine, and ls'ed the dir and it shows all the files/folders in there. However, all the folders that aren't displaying in the finder show the permissions with an @ symbol after them, the ones that show up don't have that.
drwxrwxr-x@ is in front of the missing Applications folder.
drwxrwxr-t is in front of the Users folder that does show up.
Anyone got any idea why Leopard isn't seeing these files and how I might be able to fix this?
Another update to this mystery. When I mount the .dmg on my Tiger machine and look at the file perms in terminal, that @ isn't there.
One more thing. My husband ran CCC on his MacBook Pro to a different firewire drive, and he did not have this problem. We ran it the same way, made .dmg files of our Macintosh HD's. But his Leopard is showing him all his .dmg files when he opens it. He also did the same clean install. Weird huh?

Can't see files in folders

I have one user who cannot see any files in folders on Sharepoint. She can see the folders themselves, and any file not in a folder, but gets a 'page cannot be displayed' when she clicks on any folder.
We have granted her full access but still the problem presists. No other users have this problem.
Any thoughts?

Hi Gordi,
If the user tries to click the folder from other computer, can he see the file in the folder?
The Limited Access permission level is designed to be combined with fine-grained permissions to give users access to a specific list, document library, item, or document, without giving them access to the entire site. For example, if you grant user access to an item in a list and they do not have access to the list itself, you will see “limited access”.
As we don’t know the permission configuration on your entire site, I would suggest you remove the user from the whole site collection and re-add her again to see if it will work.
Hope this helps.

Can't see files/folders on server from windows

i'm not sure if this is related to the ACL issue (not being properly honored in Samba on Leopard), but i'll explain my problem and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
i've set up file sharing with my server on several Macs and a couple of PCs without a problem, but on one PC, when i connect to the server, i can't see any folders at all on the server in the Explorer window. i also can't move files to the server as it tells me i don't have permissions. i am certain this is set up the same as the other PCs and ensured that the Windows user has file sharing enabled on my server.
please note that i'm fairly new to setting up a server so not too much jargon please!
cheers

How can i see files in external micro sd??

I have a xperia go.
My question is how can I see the files in a external micro sd in the laptop? I only can see 2 folders: internal storage, and internal card.
Thank's!!

Sorry, I was confused. Actually I see in the laptop Internal Storage and SD card. I thought that what I was seeing was the phone memory and the phone's internal storage memory. I thought I had to see three folders. Now I know that the phone memory is not seen in the laptop.
It also confuses me that in Astro File are the following memories with different names: ext_card, sdcard, sdcard1, sdcard0. I have come to the conclusion that ext_card= sdcard1(external memory) and sdcard=sdcard0 (internal memory), but I don't know because in Astro these memories have these names, and are repeated.
Thanks and regards!

You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

My Mac Can't See Files on External Hard Drive

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with my iMac today. It can't see any files on my NTFS External Hard Drive after a sharing change, I'm using Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX v8.0.0.
Yesterday evening I tried to share the drive over my network by clicking System Preferences / Sharing / File Sharing and then adding the drive as a shared folder. It is since doing this that I cannot see my files on this external HD. I have a second NTFS HD here which I connected and I can see the files on that drive so I don't think it's a software issue.
I have tried a few things to try and fix it but to no avail.
1. I have tried removing it from the shared folder list but that hasn't solved the problem. I tried adding it a second time just in case but that didn't do anything either.
2. I have repaired the disk permissions via disk utility
3. I have tried "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder" to show hidden files but they still don't appear. I have reversed this so hidden files are no longer visible.
If I connect the drive to my Windows 7 laptop I can see and access all of the files.
I hope someone can help out with this issue. If you need any other information just let me know.
Kind regards,
Kim

I had the same problem but only after I upgraded to Lion. I could see the files on my external drive on other Macs using older software. It seems that Lion wasn't seeing old files on the external drive. So we accessed the files on a Mac using Snow Leopard, copied all the files into one new folder on the same external hard drive and now they're there on Lion. Problem solved! I hope this helps

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.

Can't see TimeCapsule from Laptop, only desktop!?

Hy, I would realy appreciate some help with my problem!
After updating the airpot software and the firmware software, I'm unable to see the Time Capsule HD from my laptop. I had the same problem with my desktop, and after installing the old version of airpot and firmware software I started to see the HD Time Capsule again. I tried to install the same version of the airport(5.3.2) in my laptop, but I still can't see the time capsule hd from my laptop, only from desktop. I'm using the 7.3.2 firmware in my capsule. I lost the entire day uninstalling and installing all the possible version of software and I could only make my desktop work with airport 5.3.2 and firmware 7.3.2, but the same combination in the laptop is not allowing me to see the HD of the time capsule. I've already tried wireless and cable for installing and truing to locate the HD. I can not find this steps in my computer " In Finder go to preferences and check connected servers to show on desktop" . Can you please help me? Thanks a lot for you time and attention!

Hello Placido and welcome to the discussions!
"I can not find this steps in my computer In Finder go to preferences and check connected servers to show on desktop"
Here are the steps:
Click on the Finder icon on the dock at the bottom of the screen. The Finder icon is usually on the far left of the dock unless you have moved it. Or, just click the desktop in a blank area.
Now at the top of the screen, you will see the Apple icon and Finder-File-Edit-View-Go-Window-Help. Click on Finder and then click on Preferences.
Click on General. Look for the words "Show these items on the Desktop"
Make sure that there is a check mark next to "Connected servers".
That is it.
