Certain folders do not show in Finder.

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.4 version. Lately my Finder window does not show the files in certain folders in thumbnail view, which is my default use. So, if the folder is in thumbnail view, the files do not show. Only if I change to other views or search file name in Finder search bar, the files show. But it's been a hassle doing this everytime I open these folders. Happens with several folders. I do not really recall if this happened after an incident in particular or a software update, but it's been for almost three months. In case this would help, I overuse my devise and it might happen that I have a couple, sometimes more, of apps as Ai, Ps, InD, and Rhino opened at the same time. My MacBook is also 4 years old, and I have changed my hard drive two years ago. Processor is 2.26 GHz and Memory 2GB 1067 MHz. Any help with that..?
If this is not the right community, please help redirect.
Thanks in advance.

I assume this is the option that you are having the issue with.
When in this mode, have you clicked on the GREEN button in the upper left hand corner?
Ciao.

  • USB External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop

    I have two USB external drives from the same manufacturer. One is for regular storage, the second is for Time Machine and movies.
    The first one shows everywhere, on the desktop, in finder and in Disk Utility.
    The second drive shows in Disk Utility only. However, it is functioning fine with Time Machine. So it is mounted. I have tried several repairs, and it reports no fault found. So it is certainly functioning correctly, but a setting or error in the operating system is not allowing it to be viewed in finder, or on the desktop.
    Any suggestions.

    Correction: Title should be Firewire External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop.

    Trying to edit my yahoo profile using Firefox and certain elements do not show up such as update "Load Photo" on the avatar page.
    If I use Explorer it allows me to see all the links and can edit my profile but not in Firefox.
    I am not sure the URL will let you in as is a private link.

  • External hard drive not showing in finder or disk utility

    1TB WD external hard drive is not showing in finder sidebar, destop, or disk utility. I have checked and all the preferences are ticked. The disk itself is showing a light and making a whirring sound during start up after being plugged into the power.

    Three different external drives, on 2 different MacBook Pros (different ages).  One drive with internal power, 2 through USB.  Also have a new Solid State External Drive and it does work.  The were all working before upgrade to Yosemite.
    Have tried multiple USB Cords

  • HT201737 how do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

    How do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

    What do you mean by "Close?"
    Eject??
    If so, you could use Go to Computer to find it if it is not in the Sidebar or on the Desktop. Ctrl-click or Right-click on the drive and choose Eject <diskname>
    Or, you could set it to show in the SideBar in the Finder Preferences, SideBar tab. Then, it would have an eject icon next to it in the Sidebar.

  • Hard disk does not show in finder

    WE had a system failure with our server instance a month back and since then, one of my internal HD's will not show in finder. It's also causing carbon copy pro to fail when trying to find it. I have verified it can be seen in the disk utility and from a terminal prompt. I rant this to confirm:
    { diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list; } | open -f -a TextEdit  
    No matter what I do, i cannot see it. Verify and repair in disk util come up saying it's okay. I have selected show HDD's in finder preferences. A possibly related side effect is that my users, who can browse this over the network, cannot search in the directory.
    Any help you can lend would be helpful.

    I would like to burn to external as it is much faster and the internal is not liking me.
    So, if I pick a file in Finder and click Burn to DVD, it tries to burn to internal.

  • Messages located in sub folders do not show in iPad Mail

    Using iPad mail with Microsoft Exchange sync works great at the inbox level but any messages that are in sub folders do not show up in Mail on the iPad. All of the sub folders show up but do not show messages. In addition, I am not able to collapse the parent folders, the result is a very long list of empty folders. The exception is emails that I move to the folders on the iPad do show up if the folder is selected on the iPad. Looking for solution.

    Has anyone else noticed the following?
    I've synchronized with Exchange and am noticing some odd mail behaviour:
    - I have folders in my PC Outlook inbox
    - when I have mail open on my ipad, and a new message comes in, if I happen to be an a subfolder (example a special folder for messages from my boss or whatever) all the new mail goes to that folder instead of the inbox.
    - even weirder, it stays there when I go back to my PC and Outlook.
    Not very useful long term since I end up with seriously misfiled mail...

  • My Startup Disk can not show in Finder.

    My Startup Disk can not show in Finder.but it can be used in OSX normally.
    So can I put it back to Finder?

    If the startup disk is for Mac OS 9, neither MacBook nor PowerMac G5 can boot into 9. Only the PowerMac G5 can use Mac OS 9 in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic.
    Please be more detailed what sort of Startup Disk you are talking about, which operating system, and which machine this is a problem with.

  • Certain PR is not showing in collective release ME55.

    Dear Experts
    My clients is experiencing one issue at the time of collective release of PR using T. Code ME55. Certain PR is not showing at the time of  executing  with  giving required input Release group and release code, however if the execution is done by giving input  Release group, release code and Purchase Requisition the same document is showing. can any one tell me the possible reason for the same. Why the PR is not displaying for release using release code and release group in ME55.
    Below Investigation has been done.
    1. For single line item single PR is created  through PS route using T.Code CJ20N.
    2. Account assignment for the PR is "Q" Project Make to Order.
    3. Line item not deleted for the same PR.
    4. Status showing as 03 In Release (In Status tab).
    5. in "Quantities/Dates" tab Closed check box in not activated.

    Hi Dev,
    By default system is taking "Sort Indicator 1" Sorting by Purchase requisition number & item. with the combination of  Release Code & Release Group.
    I have tried with giving input  Release Code, Release Group & Purchase Requisition Number
    10032658 & 10034951after executing the sysem is showing Only one PR Number i.e 10032658  with 2 line item.
    Here system is showing duplicate entry for PR. 10032658 of the first line item and ignoring to display the 10034951 details.
    Final conclusion is that, system is not showing last PR Number. Instead of that 2nd last PR is displaying with duplicate entry.Please see the screenshot.
    1. PR Number : 10034951 Delivery date is 30.08.2014 (Which is not Showing in ME55).
    1. PR Numebr:   10032658 Delivery date is 10.07.2015 (Which is showing in ME55)
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Please can kind person help me with uploading photos, not showing in finder!

    Hello dear Apple users,
    Please can any kindly souls offer advice at this busy time... I am trying to create a last-minute personalised gift for a beloved brother but have not yet succeeded in uploading my photos from this page:
    http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/estore/design/51?tid=26342844-7e27-4d27-a0ab-b841175 00ac2
    I know it should be easy but when I hit upload and select my "photos" from drop down menu on left, there all my photos except the ones I carefully edited, saved and flagged in iPhoto earlier this evening- I  have checked in iPhoto and they are still there, all flagged etc but not showing in finder. (grr!)
    So I opened menu from iPhoto and clicked "make visible in Finder" option, saved them with distinctive names but they are still not coming up when I search those file names..
    Please what else can I do?

    You never access your photos in iPhoto using the finder - the iPhoto application totally replaces the finder for photos when you use it - you can select the photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (see Exporting From iPhoto for export options) or you use the media browser available in every open/upload/attach window on the  left under media==> photos ==> iPhoto - see How to Access Files in iPhoto for more details
