Can't see folders/files but connected to VPN
I'm trying to connect to my office VPN. Unfortunately, I'm the only person in the office who uses a Mac and our remotely-based IT guy doesn't have a lot of Max experience, so I haven't been able to get much assistance recently.
After a lot of trying, I finally was able to connect to the VPN tonight. However, now that I'm connected, I don't see any folders/drivers/whatever in my finder. It's as if I'm not even connect. I did search around and see that apparently Macs need a little boost to find and populate those items in the Finder by going to "Connect to Server" in Finder. However, even that doesn't work.
I've tried "Connect to Server" using the IP address I used to connect to the VPN with –– didn't work. Error comes back as "Check the server name of IP address, and then try again."
I've also tried connecting via another IP address my IT guy gave me –– that didn't work either. Same error message.
I have a username and password to access the shared drive on our network. Is there some place I can enter that in the command line or something? Any help? This is so frsutrating. I feel like I've wasted 2 complete nights (hours at a time) trying to get this to work so I can actually do work from home...
FYI, I'm connected over Cisco VPN IPSec using the Mac OSX internal VPN client.
Hi
I have the same issue, I have a Vodafone branded Huawei HG556a with an external drive connected. I have found that it isn't possible to connect via Finder and that SMB doesn't work either. The only way I could connect to it was via FTP using Cyberduck (or Filezilla), but no use as I can't add my media files from the drive to iTunes, so unfortunately disappointing. I'm still looking, but here's the document I was referred too from another forum.
broadband.vodafone.ie/download/files/storage_mac.pdf
Although not an answer to your question, hopefully this will give you an idea why you are getting the password and username errors when you know they are correct. In the end when I entered the FTP details into Cyberduck I was able to connect.
I know this doesn't help solve the problem (as I'm still looking too), but at leas you know why (ish).
Cheers

External table, can't see the file
Hi
--This is what I do
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY data_dir AS 'C:\TEMP\'
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY data_dir TO my_user;
--I have my actual GAS.TXT file in the folder, the file looks like this
0003450305NG-5E6, TUSCANY VILLAS,26 FENTON STREET ROTORUA 3201, ROTORUA
002343043NG-9DE, LORALIS LIMITED,18 HARINGTON STREET TAURANGA 3001, TAURANGA
...etc...
--I do a select
SELECT * FROM all_directories
--and it shows
SYS DATA_DIR C:\TEMP\
--Then I create my ext table like this
CREATE TABLE external_table(
ICP CHAR(10) ,
NAME CHAR(20),
ADDRESS CHAR(30),
CITY CHAR(20)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY DATA_DIR
ACCESS parameters
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' AND '"'
(ICP CHAR(40),
NAME CHAR(100),
ADDRESS CHAR(100),
CITY CHAR(100)
location (DATA_DIR:'GAS.TXT')
--The table is created
--then when I try and do a select I end up with an error message
SELECT * FROM EXTERNAL_TABLE
ORA-29913 blah, blah
ORA-29400 blah blah
KUP-04040 file can't be found
ORA-06512 SYS.ORACL_LOADER
ORA-06512 blah blah
So, I reckon of some reason it can't see the file, but I do not know why?
The file sits on the Server in the C:\TEMP folder and the error log ends up in the C:\TEMP folder
I have tried several variations on this, but still same error. However, then I also tried these exact same scripts on another Oracle box, and it worked fine. So something with the machine/box I am using is not alright.
Would appreciate your thoguhts.
Thanks
KariAs suggested, change your table definition to match the available data, and post an example like below with complete error message (not the edited version that is hard to understand).

I am logged in to my Acrobat account but I can't see my files?
I have Acrobat on my iPad which is connected to my Acrobat account. I use it to read my ebooks just fine. But when I installed Acrobat on my Android phone and logged in, I can't see the files that I have on my iPad?
Is this a bug or is there something I'm not getting here?When you read the ebooks on your iPad (with you logged in using your Acrobat account), did you explicitly save those files to Acrobat.com? Are you able to access those same files in browser?

Hello Folks!
My users sometimes have a problem that user A sometimes can't see a file created or copied by user B to a directory within a share they can both access. Both are within the same group which grants them Full Access on the share, settings for permissions are
correctly set to be applied on directories, subdirectories and files.. Confusingly, this can be fixed when user A creates some kind of file (empty .txt, for example); the "missing" files will suddenly appear.
Windows Server 2008r2, DC
Windows File Server 2008r2, shares and files are located here.
ABENUM activated, needed for several folders.
The Domain-Admin Account is able to see all the files all the time.
Anybody got an idea what I could check?
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
BorisHi,
When you use user A access the shared folder, did you do the refresh to check the result?
If the issue persists, please try to install this hotfix:

Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- but can not see hidden files
Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- read on how to do this, but this involves being able to see the hidden fiels -- but can not see hidden files...any suggestions. Would like to transfer these files from iPod Touch to new laptop without software -- is that possible -- if not can anyone recommend a good free software to use?
There is no way to do so without software. I recently had a similiar task and was suggested to use iExplorer. It worked like a charm.
Refer to this page for iExplorer
Here is the page I was helped with on this task for reference: Export Songs
Hope this helps!

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.
The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac. How do I see them? I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.
You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1300?locale=en_US
Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.

My MBP didn't recognise my password, started it in safe mode, I can see my files, but I don't know what to do next, as the image of reset password isn't selectable. I just moved from PC. Need help please...
Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
resetpassword
Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.

I had a weird pop up with a long message warning last night when opening the e-mail client. I tried opening several times and I would always receive that message (something related with a PIM number).
After a few tries, I restarted the PB. the message wen't away, but my interface was restored to the initial state (all my icon organization was gone). I made a new organization and thought everything was fine.
Now, I am noticing the PB can't see my files. they were not deleted, I still can see them through my computer. But the music player says it has 0 songs, the file manager can't see anyfiles, the "pictures" app can't see all the pictures I took and so on.
Can somebody help me?Hi loftmusic,
I didn't hear about this. But I trust in Security Wipe magic. So make a back up of all required content from your PlayBook and do the Security Wipe. After this you may reinstall OS if you want to. To do this just connect powered off PlayBook to PC with launched BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Someone else may give you other tip.

I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does? The usb ports of the mac mini can still see my other drives formated with FAT32.
Thanks, it is working now, after I have installed NTFS3G.
I did not format the drive. I was using it as purchased to do backups for a while. After the corporate backup system was working correctly again I was using the disk at home for my homevideos. Since the corporate backup was running correctly for ten days in a row, I have decided to delete those backupfiles on the usb drive. Each backup was a folder consisting of almost 30GB data, mirroring the servers harddrive which is running on windows xp. After I have deleted those folders, only the video files remaind and I could not open the drive on the macmini anymore. -
Can't see .cfm files in Design view
Can't see .cfm files in Design view in Dreamweaver CC.
Hi pkregel,
Do these files open as intended in Dreamweaver CS6? I am not a CF expert but I am guessing that if you are able to open the files, then you should be able to see them in both the views. Can you post a screenshot as well?
Thanks,
