Cannot see all folders on remote Mac, even when "Connect As" admin user
Shouldn't an "admin user" be able to see all folders, including Desktop, Documents, etc. of other users? I'd like to be able to see all folders.
Thanks

I don't think so.
Try this.
On your Mac, in Finder, click on the top item in Sidebar, Macintosh HD
Now open Users
Now click on a user that is not you.
If your system is like mine, you will see red dots on most of the folders, meaning you do not have access to them.
If you can't do it locally, then it's probably not possible to do it remotely.
An administrator account does not have universal privileges.

Windows 7 Cannot see All folders in shared directory
Hi all,
Here's a real stumper of a question. I have two folks connecting to our XServe G5 server using Windows 7 Home Premium via Boot Camp. Mapping to the network drive via IP address allows the two users to connect to the shares, no problem. . .or so it would seem.
For whatever, unintelligible reason, certain folders in the directory are non-viewable, and inaccessible. For example, this is what one of our users running on a Mac will see:
Folder 2003
Folder 2004
Folder 2005
Folder 2006
Folder 2007
Folder 2008
Folder 2009
The Mac users use the EXACT same logon credentials as the Boot Camp Windows 7 Users. However, when looking at the same folder list for the Windows 7 users:
Folder 2003
Folder 2004
Folder 2005
Folder 2006
Folder 2008
Folder 2009
I have never come across anything quite like this. As I said, our Mac and PC users utilize the EXACT same credentials to access this shared folder on our XServe G5, yet for some reason, one or two folders are completely inaccessible on the Windows side. I've tried manually entering the directory, and I receive a "folder not found" error. Which is ridiculous, because it's there.
Any idea what I should look at to get a clearer idea?

You can reduce your wired memory usage by 256MB by disabling the IntelHD graphics, which uses shared memory for its VRAM. My testing has shown that disabling that (and thus leaving the GT 330M active all the time) really doesn't impact battery performance that much. I'd rather have the RAM, personally.
Here's what I did on my 2010 17" to disable the built-in Intel HD graphics:
% cd /System/Library/Extensions
% ls -l AppleIntelHD* # this should show you the extensions for the HD chip
% sudo mkdir AppleIntelHD-disabled
% sudo mv AppleIntelHDGraphics* AppleIntelHD-disabled
Wait about two minutes for kextcache to run and update your extensions cache, and then reboot. Your wired RAM should have fallen by 256MB.

When browsing documente library contents from client application, cannot see all files
We are currently running SharePoint 2010 Enterprise in a small environment. On one of my sites, I have a document library with various documents uploaded (docx, xlsx, pdf). I am unable to see all the documents when browsing the library from Word/Excel/Adobe
Acrobat. For example:
- At the root level of the library, I have 5 folders
- In Folder 1, I have 10 PDF files
- If I go into Adobe Acrobat 11, for example, and paste the address of my site in, I can see the library and I can click on it and see the 5 folders. If I click on Folder 1, there are no PDFs listed. Even changing File Type to "All Files"
still returns 0 results
Things I have tested:
If I view the library in the browser, I can see the 10 PDFs in Folder 1. They are not checked out and they are visible to everyone
If I click Library>Open w/ Explorer, I can see all 10 PDFs in Folder 1
If I try using other client applications (Word, Excel, etc..), I cannot see any files in Folder 1, even when I change the File Type to "All Files"
If I click in some of the other Folders in the same library from within a client application, sometimes I can see the files but most times I cannot
What could be causing this? I do not see any errors in any of the event logs.Hi Sephiroth,
I think my observation is when you browse from word/Excel/Adobe it is taking your local system credentials and so not showing files when you access.
local system account means the account which you used to login to the system.
For example,you logged into the system as contosomo\xyz and you are trying to connect to the site using Contosomo\setup account,what my point is though you logged in to the site using the setup account site is taking your xyz account credentials and so it
not showing any files as xyz obviously will not have access.
To confirm this, you can try by giving atleast read access to the local system account (in this case xyz) to the library and then test again whether you are able to see the files or not.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem.

When I go to my email account through Safari, I cannot see all of my messages. It says there are 34 but I can only see 26. However, at the bottom right the arrows to go to the next screen are not highlighted? I also cannot scroll any further down. Does anyone know how to scroll down to see all of my messages? I use Travel-net Communications as my email provider (Ottawa, On, Canada).
hey ,
if it is showing you 34 mails them it is correct. when you see your mail. apple has a smart way of arranging your mail.suppose you recieve 4 mails from one email id it will show you under one highlighted mail. so when you open a mail from anyone trying scrolling it down and you will find your missing mails. -
My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture.
Hi,
My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture. The ruler across the top read "0" to 13.5". Down the left side of the picture the ruler reads 3", 2",1", 0, 1", 2",3" etc. This leaves a three inch empty space at the top of my viewing area and I lose three inches of the bottom of my picture. I cannot figure out how to adjust this. I have tried the screen modes and they do not fix my problem. What can I do to solve this problem?Please provide sensible details about your platform, exact version of your OS, exact version of Photoshop, complete details baout your setup, hardware details, monitor resolution, etc.

I cannot see all preferences options
Hello
I'm new to flash pro CC but I've already worked in flash...
I'm animating a sequence and would like to activate the span based selection but I cannot see all the options in the preferences menu.
How can I get to see all the options in the preferences menu?
(sorry if there are some mistakes I'm french)Hi Brice,
Which version of DW are you using? Which OS? Have you experienced this issue before or is this your first encounter?
As a first step, I suggest you try recreating Preferences (Re-create preferences) and see if that helps.
Thanks,

Cannot see the video behind the title even though I select the option to do so, what am I missing?
hauntnh,
I assume you're referring to the fifth video, "Add a title to your video." Did you drag the title to the V2 track, as explained at 2:33 in the video? Also, if your main video in the V1 track is not sitting below your title clip in V2, you won't see the video behind the title because there won't be anything behind your title.
HTH,

I cannot sync all my photos from mac to iPhone. The sync finishes before all photos are copied to The iPhone so in my iPhone I have albums with less photos than Mac! I select The album that I want to sync on The iPhone on iTunes but the syncronization finishes before all the photos of the selected albums are copied on The phone.
You should erase all contents and setting before giving your iphone away.

On version 10.5 and was trying to move my itunes music to a larger drive. I had issues and moved it all back to the original drive. Now I see all the music in itunes but when I "explore" the drive many subfolders for my individual albums are missing. Help
really??
Yes, really, I'm sorry to say.
is there anything i can do about it??maybe create another account?
Sorry, but there is nothing you can do about it. There's no place where you could create "another account" that would give you any greater access to media. The content owners do not allow cross-border sales, so you cannot open an account in another country's iTunes Store. So until such time as Apple is able to obtain the necessary licensing and decides that it's practical to open an iTunes Store on your country, I'm afraid that you will not be able to purchase music, videos, or movies from an iTunes Store.
There is only one possibility for you: if what you're looking for are only podcasts, you may be able to find the podcast you want directly from a web site. Apple doesn't host the podcasts, they only link to them, so the podcast you want may be available from another source. You'll have to do a web search and see if the podcast turns up.
