Cannot see items in folders

After loading Yosemite on my iMac, my folders appear empty. My app folder looks like there is nothing in it, yet I can launch my apps from my dock. I have reinstalled Yosemite with no success. Any ideas?

Cannot see items in my trash bin sice upgrading to mountain lion

cannot see deleted items in my trash bin,since upgrading to mountain lion,it seems to delete items straight away.

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
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 page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Cannot see items move when dragged

All of a sudden I cannot see objects move when dragged in Photoshop CC Mac. They wind up in a new position when dragged but I just can't see them move as I drag them. This would seem to be a preference but do not know where to change it.

When confronted with unexplainable Photoshop behaviour restoring Preferences (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved) is an option:

Cannot see file and folders copied from other windows 8

Hi everyone,
The problem is the next:
I have new PC for that i was asked to setup and install software, i perform on it clean windows 8 install, it have single HDD 1TB that was partitioned by regular windows setup option to system drive C: 100GB and all left space was partitioned as drive D:
After setup finish i only boot to system to check that everything is OK and without to make ANY change to windows shut it down.
I physically disconnect HDD from new PC and connect it via standard USB 3 docking device to my own PC that also run windows 8 i can see the new connected HDD with all partitions without any problem! Than i create on second partition on new drive folder and
copy there some files, after copy finished i disconnect the drive in safe way by performing "eject" option in windows.
i connect new drive back to new pc, boot to windows and access the second partition and it ... empty, no folder or files on drive, it also show like no space was used !!!
MOST IMPORTANT ! - Why it don't looks like security or permission or even hardware problem - NO any major security changes was performed on my own (old) PC, but most important fact when i connect other hdd to same dock station and create folder and copy some
files and then connect it to NEW PC - problem does not exist !!! i can see and access without any problem the folder and files on both PC's !
I also tried:
to reinstall windows on new pc
to create or delete partition after setup in both PC's
to check folder and drive permissions and adding "everyone" with "full control"
to turn on "show hidden files and folders" and "system files" too
to copy or create new different type files
Interesting - if i create a folder in NEW PC i can see this folder on OLD PC and copy files to it, but whet i connect drive back to NEW PC it sometimes show the folder have those files and even use the appropriate space and programs even try to open those files
without any security warnings but it cannot be open properly because files looks corrupted !
Thanks for any help !

Hi,
According to your description, I don't think this is system problem. More like HDD or its interface problem.
Have you tried to reconnect your new HDD to your own computer again after you copy some file to it but couldn't find anything on new computer. If there is problem in new PC, how about your own PC?
Please have a try, If there was any progress, feel free let us know.

After upgrading to ios7, i cannot see multiple mail folders on the mailboxes page

On ios6, i could see all my accounts and browse folders of each account on my iphone. Why is this not visible on ios7?

Hi, I think you will need to go to your Aol email page as you want it, then open Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it, > General tab, and set 'Home Page' to Use Current Page. You may also want to set 'When Firefox starts' to Show my homepage.
Hope that works for you.

Cannot see files and folders on hard drive after reinstall of Tiger

Hi all!
I just had to reinstall Tiger on my iMac G5 and when I look at my hard drive in Disk Utility it says I have 70000 some odd files and I've used 180GB of my hard drive but I haven't. I wiped it clean with zeroes before the reinstall, or so I thought. I can't see any of these "old" folders or files.
How do I reclaim this space?
Thanks in advance!
DW

Yes it was the MacIntosh HD volume.
I ended up recreating the partition booting with the OS X CD and using Disk Utility and then reinstalled Tiger. Now it works, and I have all my hard drive space available.
Thanks!

Cannot move items. Cannot move or copy folders...

I have the most baffling problem. This is with any version of Outlook. I'm logged into a terminal server as the user of this mailbox. Its inbox has many subfolders. One is a folder called "2014". At the same level
is a folder we'll call "Test". When I drag "Test" onto "2014" I get this entire message:
"Cannot move items. Cannot move or copy folders. Cannot move folder. A top-level folder cannot be moved to one of its sub-folders. Or, you may not have permissions for the folder."
Here's the thing... I've given ownership permission to the inbox folder and both subfolders in question. I still get this error. There are other people that share this mailbox and I've done the same thing with one of them; owner permission
to all subfolders and full access to the mailbox via exchange. No matter what permission I give to anyone, including the mailbox owner I'm logged in as, outlook refuses to move the folder. It's not a case of a top level folder being moved into
one of its subfolders. The actual owner of the mailbox has ownership permissions to everything yet I still get this error.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edit: I can't even create a folder in the inbox. It just says "Cannot create the folder". I own everything to do with the folders.

Hi,
Please first check if you can reproduce this issue from OWA. If it works correctly in OWA, it means the issue is with Outlook side. We can try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and then reconfigure the account in the new mail profile to see the
result.
If this issue continues in OWA, it could be caused by a permission synchronization problem. I'd recommend you post a new question in the Exchange forum to get further assistance:

Team members see projects, sprints, code, burndown chart, but cannot see backlog items (not even the tasks assigned to them)

I have a VS Online account (http://tec.visualstudio.com), I created it with my [email protected] ID, now I want to use it for the projects at the university I work for. My work ID is [email protected], and my jobmates use others...
The University has the MSDN Subscription and we have assigned permissions for it.
We can see some things in the projects but none of the users (except for the [email protected] ID) can see the baclog items and the boards...

Hi Christian,

Cannot see menu items on database home page after install of beta3

I have installed XE beta 3 in a Windows 2000 SP4 VM. Install went fine and I can get to the home page without issue. However, I cannot see the items when I use the pulldown menus. If I move the mouse cursor over them, it is possible to select although I dotn know what I am selecting!
Has anyone experienced this problem, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it?
Many thanks,
Rob

I am running VMware Workstation 5.5 for Windows XP.
I have a Windows 2000 VM established, with SP4 applied.
The VM is running IE 5. I have no other browsers installed. I am not able to install XE anywhere else at present, due to resource limitations.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Next week I will install onto a "real" Windows 2000 environment, but would like to get this one working sooner than that.
Thanks for your response.
Cheers, Rob

Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
- To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
- They are two kinds of internet connection.
WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
I am sure that they can help you with that.
I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

I cannot see my Iphone 4 in my device window in the finder anymore. It use to appear so I could copy the camera pictures off of it and transfer them to other folders. Does anyone have and idea how to get it back when you plug it in initially. Thanks

You will want to open iPhoto, go to the iPhoto menu and select Preferences. Under the General tab, next to Connecting camera opens: select iPhoto. Close the preferences and quit iPhoto. Reconnect your iPhone 4. iPhoto should open automatically and offer to import your pictures. Import them and then do what you want with them.
Best of luck.
