Can't see files while updating to FileVault 2?

Hi,
I have an older version of the Macbook Pro and have recently upgraded my system from Mavericks to Yosemite. Today I upgraded from Legacy FileVault to the newer FileVault, and I had followed all the instructions given by Apple. However, right now FileVault is encrypting my data and all of my files are hidden, when I'm supposed to be able to access them as usual. When I click on the user home tab in Finder, all my folders (Applications, Downloads, Music, etc.) have been replaced by "Library". This folder has nothing but a collection of codes. I can only access my documents by going to the "Users" folder in my hard drive, where everything is in a folder of copied information. Also, things such as touchpad settings and my background have been reset. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, since it didn't happen when I tried it on a friend's Macbook. I'm worried that my computer won't return back to normal and I won't be able to immediately access my documents in Finder even after FileVault has finished encrypting. Can someone please explain this?

Just use the front camera. IOS 4.2.1 does not resize the pictures as it should do. But if you use the front camera everything works fine (it did for me).

  • 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.

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

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.

  • Mac OS 10 can't see files on HD coming from OS 9 and vice versa?

    Hello, all!  Got a TiBook 1Ghz with a 255 GB HD which I've partitioned in half, one for Tiger/OS 9 and one for Leopard.  Problem:  Any file placed on Vol 2 in OSX is invisible in OS 9 and vice versa, so one writes over the other.  Vol 1 works fine.  Tried reformatting, disk repair, DiskWarrior 9 and 10, re-installing all the operating systems.  Suggestions?  Thanks!

    Hi, kennethfromtoronto & BGreg!  I do know that OS  9 is not supported by Leopard, however I'm not talking about running 9 in Classic.  This TiBook will run 9 by itself, but when I run OS 9 it is from Volume 1 which also has Tiger installed.  I can boot from Tiger or from OS 9 from Volume 1 and they both run just fine.
    The problem is that when do I boot from OS 9, it can't see the files on Volume 2 that were placed there under OS X Tiger.  Conversely, when I run Tiger, the files I put on Vol 2 while running OS 9 are not visible.  It's like I'm running a parallel universe.  Unfortunately, this allows one system to overwrite whatever was put on the volume from the other system, and vice versa, with the net effect that I don't dare run OS 9 for fear of overwriting data on Volume 2. 
    Also when I do run Leopard from the second volume, it also cannot see any files on Volume 2 that were put there under OS 9.
    Note that with Volume 1 there is no visibility problem, no matter which of the three systems is running.  It happens with the second volume, whether it has an operating system installed on it or not.
    Usually I am good at figuring this stuff out, but you see how confusing this is...  My thinking is there might be a bug in the Apple formatting software?  I used the Disk Utility from my external hard drive which runs Leopard.
    Makes a good puzzle to solve, anyway...  Thanks for the help!

  • Can't See Files in Folder Copied from External Hard Drive to Desktop

    I recently purchased a Jobo Spectator (portable image tank for storing photos). When I connect it (USB) to my iMac I see it and can copy files to my desktop. If I copy an entire folder from the device to my desktop, Finder tells me it contains 0 files and I can't see any files in it. However, if I try to recopy one of the copied files from the Jobo to the folder, Finder tells me the file already exists there and asks if I want to replace it. If I then cancel the copy, all of my copied files show up in the folder. This behavior seems to be consistent. There is no Mac driver for the device. It doesn't look like I'm going to lose any files from this behavior but I find it frustrating.
    Does anyone have a clue? Thanks.

    skype.jpg ‏22 KB

    Hi
    I also cannot send files for a few weeks now. It used to work and now it does not. I tried reinstalling and everything I could think of but it still does not work.
    I even thought it could be because I installed skype on my phone which seems to be always signed in no matter what I do (but that's another issue) so I uninstalled it from my phone as well. I read all articles and solutions. Nothing helps. I checked my IE and it is v11.
    I cannot send files to anybody (not just specific contacts). The opposite side does not even get notified about a file being send or something, while on mine there is this ever rolling circle on the right corner of the message (see screen-shot).
    Some time ago I had problems saving the received files so I have been touching some options - could it be that I changed something which I should not have?
    Please advise!!!

  • Upgraded to Lion. Can't see files on my backup drive?

    The title pretty much explains my issue, but here is my situation. I use Boot Camp and have a 2TB backup drive with 2 partitions. One partition is 1TB Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to backup OS X with Time Machine and the other is 1TB Windows NTFS to back up Windows 7 with Windows Backup.
    So on the OS X side of things I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion. Now I can still backup to the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition with Time Machine but I can't see any backups or any files at all that I put on the backup drive while i'm in OS X Lion. I know they are there because When I'm in Windows 7 I can still see all Time Machine backups and all files on both partitions of the backup drive.
    Any Idea why I can't view files on my backup drive anymore since upgrading to Lion or how to fix this issue?

    SOLVED:
    I was reading a post about a similar problem and discovered a free program called TinkerTool. I downloaded it and under the Finder tab was able to check a feature called show all hidden files or something. Once I did this all files on my backup drive were visible but some were greyed out.
    I unchecked this feature and closed TinkerTools then restarted OS X Lion. Everything is back to normal and I can again see and manipulate the files on my backup drive. I'm all set, maybe reading this will help someone else.

  • Cifs - need to connect to share server (can see folders but can't see files)

    This is driving me nuts...
    CASE ONE:
    before the upgrade, i could view folders and files on the shareserver (at a company). but after the upgrade, things went downhill...
    we can no longer use "smb://ServerName" so we are forced to use "cifs://ServerName". Fine, fine. but i can only see folders...not files.
    ive looked everywhere on the internets for a solution but find nerdy, tech lingo. I found only one that had the solution, but they simply said "nevermind, i found the solution...".. jesh,,, at least leave a solution for us....
    does someone have a work-around or a solution to this bug?
    CASE TWO:
    Dealing with Outlook 2011 and sharing caledars using the Exchange, i can see my co-workers email and statuses...but i can no longer see their schedules/availability.
    does anyone have a solution to this???
    Rule #1: do not say "its an Outlook issue" cause they already told me to ask you.
    Rule #2: do not say "you are posting in the wrong place". just help, for Pete's sake...
    Rule#3: do not say "$**%()*$ and preliminary connection hub 5583HHFer, BS...." we dont need nerdy lingo...we need help...
    others including myself would very much appreciate your help in the above 2 matters.

  • Can't see files on a network Hard Drive

    So I have a new airport extreme and I wanted to put a drive on the network. I have two HDDs: one is the time machine that I normally have connected to my computer and another is a Hitachi that I just have Movies on. Both of them will show up under the APE in the shared, but none of the files that are on the drives show up as being there. I also tried backing up when my time capsule was on the network (I could see the shared drive icon on the desktop) but it said the backup volume couldn't be found. When I look at the disks in the airport utility it says that they have things written, but I can only see the empty free space when I open them from my MB. Can I access the files that are normally on the drives from the network without having to reformat them?
    The Hitachi is formatted under the Journaled Mac OS as well.

    I had the drive on a user password, but changed it to just be accessible if you were connected to the router. With this setting I can see the files on my movie drive, but when I try to do I time machine backup, it just sits on the "making backup disk available" and never is able to start the backup. Is there some trick to allowing the disk to backup from the airport?

  • 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!
